Chapter 276: Merchant Zemo
Xie Qingfei cautiously lifted the flat box and said: "The "Kyushu Ten Thousand Beasts Map" is a unique book, there is only one in the whole world, and it belongs to the pagan classics, these characteristics make it almost impossible for ordinary appraisers to judge with experience, so they can only speculate backwards. ”
Wei Chi asked, "What is reverse speculation?" ”
Xie Qingfei put down the flat box and said: "First of all, we must assume that this fragment is not true, and then look for evidence to prove this hypothesis, which is far faster than we can prove that the fragment is true." ”
Wei Chiran looked at Hou Wan, although Hou Wan knew more than Wei Chiran, but after all, he was not so proficient in Xie Qingfei, so he had to ask: "How to do it?" ”
Xie Qingfei said: "Craftsmen who forge antiquities are generally divided into two kinds, one is relatively high-end, and the craftsmanship is almost ancestral, and they forge antiquities generally according to a single calculation, never repeated, and the other is a mass-produced handicraft, which basically uses machines." The former can confuse the fake with the real, while the latter can only deceive those who don't understand it at all or pretend to understand it. Of these two types of people, only the former will mark their forged objects, and this behavior is somewhat similar......"
Hou Wan interjected: "Serial killer? After killing someone, leave some kind of mark to prove that he did it, and there is a kind of show-off mentality? ”
Xie Qingfei smiled: "This analogy is not appropriate, but it is about the same." After all, what they can do, most people can't do, and naturally there will be a kind of show-off mentality in it. ”
Wei Chiran asked, "So, how do you come to find this mark?" ”
Xie Qingfei said: "It is very troublesome to forge ancient books to make secret notes, but to forge ancient books, people who can achieve the truth with fakes, can not find 10 in today's China, if I remember correctly, there are only 5 people still alive, this is the only book of the Ming Dynasty, or a pagan classic, according to the elimination method, there is only one person left, this person is called Zemo." ”
Xie Qingfei said, using the instrument next to him to start enlarging the fragments, and began to slowly search between the lines, and finally found three ink dots in the lower right corner of the picture above.
Xie Qingfei pointed to the enlarged screen on the screen next to him and said, "I found it." ”
The rest of the people were staring at the screen, and Chu Xia asked, "Boss Xie, is this what you call the secret of Zemo?" ”
Yin Wanmeng asked, "What does this secret note mean?" ”
Xie Qingfei explained: "These three ink dots are the meaning of water, and the ink is short of water, and the southwest is great, so his secret mark is usually placed in the lower right corner of the forgery, which corresponds to the southwest." ”
Wei Chi Ran understood: "Oh, fortunately, what he forged was only a fragment of the page, if it is the whole book, I don't know how long it will take to find this secret mark." ”
Xie Qingfei said: "If it is a whole book, page by page, line by line, word by word, it will take a month to say the least." ”
Wei Chiran asked, "What is the identity of this Zemo?" Where are the people? ”
Xie Qingfei asked rhetorically: "Why are you looking for the fake fragment of the page?" Can I know? Because I'm close friends with Sawamo, and strictly speaking, he's also a cargo chaser. ”
Sawamo is also a cargo chaser? No wonder it is possible to forge fragments so truly.
Wei Chi said: "We want to follow him and track down someone." ”
Xie Qingfei knew that Wei Chiran would not go into details, but said: "I have to remind you, don't hurt him, you know, his background is very complicated, offending him is equivalent to offending many people, do you have paper and pen?" I'll write you a letter, you bring the letter to Sawamo, he should meet you, as for whether he will answer your questions, I don't know. ”
Wei Chiran glanced at Hou Wan, Hou Wan nodded slightly, and Wei Chiran said, "Then trouble Boss Xie." ”
After Xie Qingfei finished writing the letter, he handed it to Wei Chiran: "Officer Wei Chi, I want you to know what you are doing, if you want to return to China, you must be cautious, especially if you go to the Northeast." ”
Wei Chiran asked, "Why?" ”
Xie Qingfei said: "There are a lot of secrets hidden there, okay, send me back." ”
Xie Qingfei seemed to have something to say, and it was inconvenient for Wei Chi to ask again, just when Xie Qingfei left, he suddenly asked: "By the way, I haven't seen Sir Fang for a long time, what about others?" ”
Wei Chiran didn't know how to explain, so he had to say: "He has official business." ”
Xie Qingfei nodded silently, and then two agents sent him away.
Hou Wan immediately found a way to wake up the two lone disciples in Harbin City, where Zemo was located, and asked them to find out the relevant situation of Zemo as quickly as possible.
After all, with Zemo's address, it shouldn't be difficult to investigate these, and Hou Wan also prepared a new identity, and bought a ticket for the next day to go directly to China, and the destination was Northeast Harbin City.
But after the four of them arrived at the Harbin airport, they didn't see the lone soldier who came to the joint, and that person was one of the disciples sent by Hou Wan to investigate Zemo.
No matter what method Hou Wan used, there was no way to find the lone soldier, and he couldn't contact another person, so he had no choice but to find a hotel to stay in and continue to find a way to contact.
In the next two days, there was no news from the two men, and Chinatown also showed that the two had not reported the situation on time for two days.
According to the rules, every lone soldier who lurks will send a random password to a fixed number through his mobile phone every day to confirm his safety. The password will be changed progressively every day according to the special algorithm of the lone army, and only the lone disciple himself knows, and everyone's algorithm is completely different.
From this, it can basically be concluded that these two people have been killed.
In the hotel room, after Hou Wan informed the others of the situation, Chu Xia immediately said: "I know with my hair that this is a trap." ”
Wei Chiran asked, "Tell me what you think." ”
Chu Xia analyzed: "I estimate that the target found Sawamo to forge the fragments, because he knew that Sawamo would leave a secret mark, and if someone followed the secret mark to find Sawamo, it would be exposed." ”
Yin Wanmeng said: "This person is targeting the lonely army, so how does he know that the person who went to find Zemo is the lonely army?" After all, Sawamo is a professional counterfeiter, and there should be many people looking for him, and the disciples will not engrave the word lone soldier on their faces. ”
Chu Xia said: "Don't you want to say that there is a spy within the lonely army, right?" ”
Yin Wanmeng shook her head: "This is unlikely, but that is the only speculation." ”
Wei Chi suddenly said: "Unless...... This Zemo has always been incognito, it is not easy to find him, and few people know his real address, so that person can wait for the rabbit. ”
Hou Wandao: "No matter what, we have to go to Zemo tomorrow, and now there is no news of Songmeng, so we can only follow this only clue to find it." ”
Zemo lives in the new district of Harbin City, and it stands to reason that living in the new district must be a new house in the new community, but in fact, Zemo lives in a farmhouse, but on the edge of the new district of Harbin City, it is relatively remote, and most importantly, there is an abandoned Youfu Hospital next to this farmhouse.
Youfu Hospital was built in 1927, after the liberation of the renamed "Hongguang Youfu Hospital", is a more famous psychiatric hospital in Harbin at that time, after 1999, this Youfu Hospital was abandoned, people walked empty, and later rumored that there was a haunted incident, attracting many people to go on an adventure, and finally it was exposed that all the supernatural events were done by a group of young people, and this matter also made headlines in the news at the time, and since then this abandoned hospital has never been noticed.
Wei Chiran looked at the map and said, "Strange, why did Zemo choose to live in this place?" The transportation is not convenient, there is no infrastructure around, it is not convenient to buy things and receive express delivery, and takeaway will not be delivered so far. ”
Yin Wanmeng speculated: "He is the one who made the fake, could it be to hide his identity?" ”
Hou Wan denied: "Absolutely not." Making fake antiques, as long as it is not in batches, will not be so easy to be discovered, he can live directly in a certain community, and even if the surrounding neighbors see it, they will not suspect anything. ”
Wei Chiran also agreed: "Yes, he is not making drugs, he makes fake antiques and chooses such a remote place, on the contrary, it will make people suspicious, which is a bit of a place without three hundred taels of silver." In addition, Sawamo and Xie Qingfei are close friends......"
Chu Xia interjected and asked, "Do you doubt Xie Qingfei?" ”
"Of course I doubted it, but there was no basis for it." Wei Chiran shook his head and said, "What I want to express is that Sawamo lives in a simple place, his residence is only known to his best friends, and the target person we are looking for can be ambushed around, and can also let Sawamo forge the fragments, which shows that the relationship between them is not ordinary." ”
Hou Wandao: "So, this is obviously a trap. ”
Wei Chiran said: "That's right, it's indeed a trap, but Heluo should also know, I wonder, why did he give the order to abort the mission more than ten years ago, and now he deliberately let Songmeng take a photocopy of the northeast, let us look for this clue to find that person?" It's not because there are so many of us this time, right? ”
Yin Wanmeng suddenly said: "I think that the goal of the mission is not the "Kyushu Ten Thousand Beasts Map", but the person who owns him, and the goal of our mission is him." ”
Everyone suddenly realized when they heard this, and after Hou Wan thought deeply, he used the confidential mobile phone to dial Heluo, who was far away in the Chinese town.
After Hou Wan expressed his speculation, Heluo finally admitted that the target of their mission was indeed the person with the "Kyushu Ten Thousand Beasts Map".
Hou Wan asked, "Who is this person?" ”
He Luo said: "This matter is extremely complicated, I can't explain it to you, but this is also a task that we did not complete alone during the Puppet Manchurian period, but at that time our mission was to find the Shaman Spirit Palace." ”
When they heard about the Shaman Spirit Palace, Wei Chiran and Yin Wanmeng were stunned, because when they were on Beisen Island, Ai Qi did mention the Shaman Spirit Palace, which also showed that it was one of the three convergence points in this world, the first meeting point was on Beisen Island, the second was in the Shaman Spirit Palace, and the location of the third meeting point was hidden in the Shaman Spirit Palace.
Could it be that Lone Army knows about Aiqi at all, knows the point of convergence, and knows all this?
He Luo said again: "That mission failed, and none of the people we sent came back alive, so we don't know what happened there at all, and the purpose of your mission is to find this person and ask about what happened back then." ”
The lieutenant on the side asked Chi Ran: "You mean, the disciple of the lonely army went to the Shaman's Spirit Palace with this person, but only this person came back?" ”
He Luo said: "That's right, and this person is a catcher, nicknamed Catcher Qianlin, and his real name is Tang Qianlin." ”
