Chapter Twenty-Three: The Three Soul Boxes

The account manager pressed the button on the safe, and from it came a tablet with something like a thumbtapin on it.

The account manager said, "Excuse me, Mr. Wei Chi, please press your index finger on this." ”

Wei Chi said: "Won't it be punctured if you press it?" ”

The account manager explains, "Yes, our safes require blood type verification. ”

Wei Chiran glanced at Fang Xunyi, and sighed in his heart that this safety factor was really high.

After Wei Chi Chi pressed his index finger and poked it, the tablet was put back away, and soon the original red light of the vault turned orange, and a password panel appeared on the screen.

The account manager stepped aside: "Mr. Wei Chi, I'll avoid it first, you enter the password, the password can't be entered wrong, even if it's once, the safe will never be opened again." ”

Wei Chi was stunned: "Password? What password? ”

The account manager said, "It's the password to the vault." ”

With that, the account manager left to avoid and waited with a smile in the distance.

Wei Chiran asked Fang Xunyi in a low voice: "How can there be a password?" ”

Fang Xun recalled: "The safe left by Gan Le is not mine, how do I know?" ”

Wei Chiran looked at the screen: "Why is there a password?" Uncle Gan didn't say the password in the video. ”

Fang Xun recalled: "I have a recording here, you listen to it first, maybe there are clues, come, headphones, you put them on." ”

Wei Chiran put on the headset and glanced at the account manager in the distance, the account manager didn't understand why he didn't enter the password and put on the headset.

Wei Chiran smiled embarrassedly: "I'm that, I have to listen to a few songs before I enter the password, this is a ritual." ”

The account manager immediately laughed and said, "Yes, life must have a sense of ritual." ”

Wei Chiran put on his headphones and turned his back to the account manager and listened to the video recording recorded by Fang Xun's memoirs yesterday.

After listening to it for the first time, Wei Chiran looked at Fang Xun and said, "Didn't mention the password?" ”

Fang Xun recalled: "Since it is a password, it will definitely not be said in such an ordinary way, maybe it will be hidden in the words." ”

Wei Chi suddenly thought of Gan Le's words - "I have sold the previous house, and all my savings have been transferred to the foreign account that I opened for you before, the password has not changed, you can take it out with your identity documents, a total of 6,857,896 yuan, remember, it is 6,857,896 yuan." ”

"Six million eight hundred and seventy-seven thousand eight hundred and ninety-six yuan." Wei Chi repeated the amount, and said, "It's 6857896." ”

Fang Xunyi also suddenly realized: "Yes, it should be this, otherwise he wouldn't repeat it twice." ”

Wei Chi turned to look at the account manager: "How many digits is the password?" ”

The account manager laughed, "At least six, but no more than fifteen." ”

So much range? Wei Chiran listened to the recording again, and then said: "It should be this set of numbers, it doesn't matter, whether it is dead or alive, I also have to gamble." ”

Just when Wei Chiran was about to enter the password, his mobile phone rang and a text message came.

Wei Chiran picked up his mobile phone and found that it was Zhang Fengfei who transferred the money to himself, a total of 3,428,948 yuan, no more, no less, just half of the amount Gan Le said.

Fang Xun recalled: "What are you doing? Hurry up and enter the password. ”

Wei Chiran looked at the password panel and said, "No, it's not 6857896, it's 3428948, Uncle Gan said that half of the money is mine, so the total amount divided by two is the password." ”

When Fang Xunyi was about to say something, Wei Chi quickly entered the set of numbers, and then the panel lit up, and the safe opened after the "click" sound.

Wei Chiran and Fang Xunyi looked towards the safe and found a square box inside.

The box is black, it looks old, and it is all hollow and carved, so delicate that you dare not reach out and touch it easily.

Wei hesitated for a long time, and then carefully took out the box and put it on the table next to him.

The account manager stepped forward and said, "Mr. Wei Chi, since the safe has been opened, then please sign it, and your procedures will be completed." ”

Wei Chi quickly signed, and returned to the car with Fang Xunyi with the box in his hand.

After getting into the car, the two began to study the box, but no matter how much they studied, they couldn't open the box, as if the box was sealed at all.

Fang Xun recalled: "It looks like a trap box. ”

Wei Chiran asked, "What is a trap box?" ”

Fang Xun recalled: "A kind of box designed by the ancients needs to open a specific mechanism to be able to open the box and take out the contents inside, if it is smashed or pried open by violent means, the self-destruct mechanism in the box will be activated, and the things stored in the box will be directly destroyed." ”

Wei Chiran looked at the box on his lap: "I'll go, I don't understand this thing either?" So how do you open it? ”

Fang Xunyi pondered for a moment and said, "I knew someone before, and this person might be able to help." ”

Wei Chi hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”

Fang Xun recalled: "He was a pawnshopkeeper, and his ancestors were a chasers. ”

Wei Chiran recalled: "Cargo chaser? Sounds familiar, isn't it one of the twelve sects of heresy? ”

Fang Xunyi started the car: "You have a good memory, let's go, his pawnshop is in the South District, let's drive over for a while." ”

The car drove to the pawnshop called "Judingfang" in the southern district, and Wei Chiran got out of the car with the box in his arms, looking at the door that could not be smaller, and the small one could only let one person reluctantly enter.

There is also a simple couplet on both sides of the door, the upper one is "think twice before leaving", the lower one is "there is in but not out", and under the plaque hangs a horizontal batch "turn back is the shore".

Wei Chiran asked, "What does this couplet mean?" ”

Fang Xunyi sighed and said: "This kid is a real person, he opened a pawnshop, to put it bluntly, just to make money for the treasure, but he likes to say ugly things in front, he told all the people who come to the pawnshop, come to me as a thing, not to collect everything, only to collect good things, and the price he pays is higher than others, but the interest is also high, so you should think twice before shipping the goods, because it is very likely that it cannot be redeemed." ”

Wei Chiran smiled and said, "This person is really interesting. ”

Fang Xunyi helped Wei Chi Ran open the door, and Wei Chi Chi walked in with the box only to find that the inside of this pawnshop was not ordinarily big, it was just like a museum exhibition hall, and there were glass cabinets around the hall, which displayed all kinds of antique objects, and directly opposite was the counter of the pawnshop.

Inside the counter sat a young man with a partial part, fair complexion, and delicate facial features.

Fang Xunyi said in a low voice: "He is the boss Xie Qingfei, the love of the last resort, people are a little weird, you are less poor, and you have to look like others to do things." ”

Wei Chi nodded silently and stepped forward with the box in his hand.

Fang Xunyi raised his hand and knocked on the counter: "Love." ”

Xie Qing didn't raise his head, his eyes still fell on the ancient book in his hand.

Fang Xunyi said again: "Thank you, boss Xie." ”

Xie Qingfei still didn't raise his head, but he spoke: "Officer Fang, what are you doing?" Are you here to investigate the case or to make small talk to me? I don't have time to chat, next time I make an appointment, I want to investigate the case, it's still the old rule. ”

As he spoke, Xie Qingfei took out a sign that read, "Please remit money to the following account to assist in the investigation, and the amount will remain the same."

Wei Chiran looked at the sign and couldn't help but say, "Is this still a friend?" ”

Xie Qingfei looked up at Wei Chiran: "Friends don't have to eat?" Do you have to spend your precious time to cooperate with you in investigating the case? Friends have to ......"

Before Xie Qingfei finished speaking, his eyes fell on the box that Wei Chiran was holding, and said four words: "Three souls and seven spirits?" ”

Wei Chi was stunned for a moment: "What three souls and seven spirits?" ”

Xie Qingfei came out directly from under the counter, took out a magnifying glass, looked at the box closely, looked at it for a long time, and straightened up: "Where did you get this thing from?" ”

Wei Chiran saw that Xie Qing was not so serious, and before Fang Xunyi could speak, he said, "I take the liberty of asking, what is your physiognomy?" ”

Xie Qingfei replied very seriously: "I belong to the tiger." ”

"Oh, really?" Wei Chiran looked contemptuous, "I thought you belonged to a dragon." ”

Xie Qingfei asked, "Why?" ”

Wei Chi said: "I was going to heaven just now." ”

Xie Qingfei knew that Wei Chiran was counting himself, but because he was really interested in this box, he had to say: "May I ask this gentleman, where did you get this box from?" ”

Wei Chiran was just about to prepare to continue the loss, Fang Xunyi coughed beside him, he had to endure and said: "I just took it out of the bank safe, and I can't open it, so I specially came here to ask you, a master, to take a look at it, do me a favor, identify what kind of box this is, and how to open it, I'm sorry for you." ”

Fang Xunyi hurriedly said: "I'll transfer it to you now, it's a hard fee." ”

"No!" Xie Qingfei immediately said, "It's my blessing that I can take a look at this kind of strange goods, how dare I charge it, please two of you." ”

Odd goods? What do you mean? Wei Chiran didn't understand, but he still followed Xie Qingfei into the back room with Fang Xunyi.

Walking into the back room, Xie Qingfei motioned for Wei Chi to put the box on the table.

After putting it away, Wei Chiran asked, "Boss Xie, what do you mean by the three souls and seven spirits just now?" ”

Xie Qingfei continued to look at the box closely, but he didn't reach out to touch it, just looked around and around.

Wei Chiran looked at Fang Xunyi, Fang Xunyi signaled him to be a little patient, and wait and see.

After a long time, Xie Qingfei finally came to a conclusion: "This is indeed three souls and seven spirits, no, it is a three soul box." ”

Wei Chi was anxious: "Then you have to explain, what are the three souls and seven spirits, and what is the three soul box?" ”

Xie Qingfei looked at Wei Chiran and asked, "Excuse me, Your Excellency is also a stranger?" ”

Wei was stunned for a moment: "Alien? ”

Fang Xunyi on the side immediately said: "He's not, he's just my colleague, this box was left to him by one of his uncles, and we just took it out of the bank safe." ”

Xie Qingfei's face sank: "You are not a stranger?" You have nothing to do with sewing a thousand corpses? ”

When the three words sewing a thousand corpses came out of Xie Qingfei's mouth, Wei Chiran and Fang Xunyi were shocked.

Fang Xunyi immediately asked, "Boss Xie, why did you mention sewing a thousand corpses?" ”

Xie Qingfei looked at Fang Xunyi's appearance and said, "Don't you know what this is?" ”

Wei Chi was about to collapse: "Big brother, we need to know what this thing is, what are we coming to you for?" Excuse me, please explain. ”
