Chapter 12: The Courier Killer

The sun shone lazily into the room through the half-open window, and Jin Sanye was sitting on a mahogany chair, drinking tea with a few friends.

He has long passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and now he has fame and fortune, looking at the smiling friends sitting next to him, he has an indescribable sense of comfort.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of very light footsteps outside the door, and Jin Sanye didn't need to look back to know who was coming.

Coming in was his newly hired nanny, who was over 30 years old, but still charming and understanding.

"What's the matter?" Jin Sanye put down the teacup.

"Someone is looking for you, saying it's an old acquaintance of yours." The babysitter handed him a business card.

"Qi Lu?" Jin Sanye looked at the name on the business card, his eyebrows were wrinkled, and it could be seen that he didn't have much impression of this person.

A friend sitting next to him said: "Third master, don't pay attention to him, I know this person is a charlatan." ”

"Liar?"

"He is a yin and yang person, and he often scares customers in the name of feng shui, saying that there are ghosts in the customer's house, but in fact, he is just borrowing ghosts to make money."

Jin Sanye's face sank, and then he laughed and said, "Listening to what you said, I really want to see his skills." ”

The friend hurriedly shook his head and said, "The third master must not, aren't you afraid that he will deceive you?" ”

Jin Sanye stared at the teacup on the table and said leisurely, "Am I such an easily fooled person?" Little Red, go and bring him in. ”

After a while, the nanny Xiaohong brought Qi Lu to the living room.

"Kimber, I haven't seen you for a long time, but your body is getting tougher and tougher."

Jin Sanye is used to being called by others, and he hasn't heard anyone greet him as an elder or young for a long time, he was slightly stunned, and immediately said with a smirk: "I'm old, I'm not as good as you young people." ”

"The junior came today to discuss something with you, but I didn't expect you to have guests at home, it's really not the right time for me to come, so it's better for me to come back to visit another day." Qi Lu took retreat as advance, pretending to say goodbye.

"Why rush to leave when you're here?" Jin Sanye stretched out his hand, "Please sit down." ”

As soon as Qi Lu sat down, he saw Jin Sanye's eagle-like sharp eyes looking at him, he chuckled, pretending not to know anything, and picked up the teacup and drank tea.

Jin Sanye asked, "What is the matter with Mr. Qi looking for me?" ”

A hint of surprise suddenly flashed in Qi Lu's eyes, but then he put down the teacup and said, "I hope to talk to Kimber alone." ”

"Really?" Jin Sanye glanced at his friends, and they stood up knowingly and said, "Third Master, you are busy beforehand, we will come back later." ”

Beckoning and leaving, it can be seen that Jin Sanye has a high prestige among his friends.

After the nanny left with them, there was a moment of silence in the living room.

"Now you can say it, right?" Jin Sanye stared at him, his gentle eyes mixed with a hint of darkness.

Qi Lu said: "I want to talk to Kimber about a deal. ”

"Buying and selling?" Jin Sanye narrowed his eyes. "I'm not a businessman, Mr. Qi, are you in the wrong place?"

"Who in the antiques world doesn't know your name." Qi Lu said with a smile: "Of course, this transaction is also about antiques. ”

"yes, what do you have?" Jin Sanye finally became interested.

Qi Lu took out Jiang Wenhao's photo of Fang Zun and showed it to Jin Sanye.

"Tiger Head Fang Venerable?" Jin Sanye suddenly exclaimed, and then he asked with a serious face: "Where did this thing come from?" ”

"Of course it's not in my hands, I'm just a broker, a commissioner."

"I ask you where this thing came from!" Jin Sanye was a little angry.

Qi Lu smiled faintly and said, "Where did you come from, you should know better than me, Third Master." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"I heard from a friend on the road that the third master really wants to get this Fang Zun, with our friendship, of course I hope that the fertilizer water will not flow into the fields of outsiders." Qi Lu saw that Jin Sanye's facial expression seemed to have changed slightly, so he continued: "You should know that you are not the only one who wants to get it. If you don't want to talk to me, I can consider talking to someone who is more interested. ”

As soon as these words came out, Jin Sanye suddenly felt a strange silence. After a long while, he smiled and said, "Why don't you and I give in one step, you tell me who the seller is, and I will consider taking this business." ”

"Then I'll open the skylight and say something." After just a moment of hesitation, Qi Lu said, "The seller is Professor Jiang." ”

"Archaeological captain Jiang Wenhao?" Jin Sanye was startled, and his body straightened up.

"If it weren't for him, who else would have taken this treasure out of the tomb without noticing?" Since he lied, Qi Lu had no choice but to follow the topic and make it up.

"I've dealt with him, and I still know a lot about his character, and Old Man Jiang won't do this kind of thing."

"Some things aren't as simple as you think." Qi Lu put away the photo and began to want to indulge. "The photograph is not a fake, do you think I have the ability to take a photograph of a precious artifact that has not yet been made public?"

"I'm sorry, I don't do anything illegal, Mr. Qi should find someone else. Thinking about a friend, I won't tell anyone about today's events. Jin Sanye's fingers flicked the table irregularly.

Qi Lu was stunned, but he didn't expect that Jin Sanye, who was still a little excited just now, suddenly had a 180-degree change in his attitude. He was about to persuade Jin Sanye again, but the bewitching nanny had already come in and politely sent off the guests, so Qi Lu had to get up and say goodbye.

Listening to the door slamming mercilessly behind him, Qi Lu couldn't help but glance at the sky in frustration, then took out a cigarette and smoked it fiercely, and then went to the side of the road to stop a taxi.

Qi Lu went to the room of the museum where the cultural relics were stored again, and found that Professor Jiang was the only one working inside.

"Why, you've seen that antique dealer?" Jiang Wenhao asked him without raising his head.

Qi Lu hurriedly walked over and whispered to him. It turned out that he had already thought of a plan on the way here, and now he needs Jiang Wenhao's cooperation.

"No way!" Jiang Wenhao shook his head again and again after hearing this, and he said solemnly: "I can't joke about national treasures." ”

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Jiang Wenhao asked casually, "Who?" ”

"Deliver the courier."

Qi Lu's heart sank, and he asked, "Professor, did you buy a courier?" ”

"No, I never shop online. Maybe it's a colleague's package, sent here. After speaking, Jiang Wenhao was about to open the door.

"Wait!" Qi Lu stopped him and said in a deep voice, "It's better for me to go." ”

As soon as Qi Lu opened the door, he was kicked and flew into the house by someone outside the door.

Qi Lu secretly screamed badly, and quickly turned over with a "carp fight" and blocked in front of Jiang Wenhao.

I saw the courier who kicked him down step into the door with his head held high, and with a fierce look in his eyes, he tore open the package in his hand and took out a bronze dagger that shone with cold light from inside.

Qi Lu saw that his face was still childish, and he was clearly a young man who had just entered the society, but he suddenly appeared at this time, and he was holding an antique sword of unknown origin in his hand, which suddenly gave people an indescribable weird feeling.

Qi Lu sensed that the air was filled with a murderous aura that he had never felt before, a very strange murderous aura, and he instinctively took out the spirit talisman from his arms.

Seeing Qi Lu holding the spirit talisman, the young man's expression actually smiled, and he smiled very proudly, it was a smile that was bound to be won, and at the same time mixed with a trace of disdain.

"It's too dark and gloomy, and the light is coming quickly. Wind and fire and thunder, all evils dissipate, Edict! Qi Lu was throwing the talisman at the same time, and the spell was also being used, and he had an indescribable strange feeling in his heart, as if this was an enemy he had never seen before.

However, the spell didn't work.

Not only did the spell not work, but the spirit runes that were thrown were also deftly cut to the ground by the young man with his sword. But eventually a talisman struck him in the chest, but the young man ripped it off and threw it on the ground as if nothing had happened.

"It can't be!" Qi Lu was surprised, just now he sensed from the young man's dull eyes that this guy seemed to be possessed by some evil thing, but he didn't expect that the spirit runes and spells didn't have any effect, which showed that he was a normal person, not a human form transformed by demons.

Qi Lu didn't dare to be careless, he was about to take out a few more spirit runes from his arms to try the effect, but suddenly found that his body couldn't move!

When fighting against Zhou Ji, his soul bell also made his body unable to move. But this young man didn't use any magic weapons at all, not to mention that he didn't even have the action of pinching the mantra, why did he do this? Cold sweat suddenly flowed down Qi Lu's hair to his face.

The young man began to walk towards Jiang Wenhao. No, it's not walking, it's moving forward. He moves as slowly as a toddler, and more awkwardly as a rusty robot.

"What the hell is going on?" Qi Lu couldn't believe what was happening in front of him, he found that his courage was losing little by little, not only his body was trembling, but his heart was also trembling!

The young man suddenly flew into the air, and compared to the clumsy pace just now, the flying posture was so fast! Immediately after that, he swung his sword and stabbed at Jiang Wenhao's throat without warning!

"Don't want to hurt the Professor!" Qi Lu inexplicably resumed his actions at this moment, and he quickly flew up and punched the young man in the chest.

The young man didn't expect that Qi Lu, who was stunned, would still be able to move, and was suddenly hit to the ground by this punch.

He stopped, spread his arms, and stretched his sword flat to his side.

Suddenly, the young man began to spin like a spinning top, faster and faster, so fast that he could not be seen at all.

"Delusion?" Qi Lu looked at the strange man in front of him incredulously, if ordinary people could spin like this, they would have already turned dizzy and fainted to the ground. But the young man was spinning faster and faster, and he had no intention of stopping, as if he were a high-speed machine.

That allowed Qi Lu to have more time to think, and the young man attacked him in a spin! Qi Lu dared to be the enemy, and quickly flew his body sideways, dodging this fatal move.

But even so, the bronze sword made a deep, long cut from his chest to his right shoulder, and blood suddenly gushed out, staining his clothes red.

"It's dangerous!" Qi Lu was glad that the sword did not cause fatal injuries. At this moment, his head and body were already covered in cold sweat, and even his shirt was soaked. Perhaps because of the fear of the unknown, he didn't even feel the pain of the wound.
