"That's what I said, but it's basically not possible." Boss Zhou said: "This picture is called "River Water Secret Mountain Map", you listen to this name, there is the word "secret" in "secret", which means that this picture itself depicts a scene that cannot be said. Also, how many years has the Song Dynasty been since now, a thousand years ago, the vicissitudes of life, the mountains and rivers have become rivers, and the rivers have dried up into rice fields, where to find them. ”

"Brother Zhou, there was once a very powerful psychic who predicted the future, and the person I was looking for was in the ancient temple depicted in this painting, which means that this temple is still there." Zhang Nanhua said unwillingly.

Boss Zhou smiled faintly: "Predict the future? Hehe. I don't believe that the future can be predicted, is it true that everyone lives according to the script that has been written? ”

Zhang Nanhua sighed, Boss Zhou was obviously not on the same channel as him. Zhang Nanhua is talking about the city gate building, and Boss Zhou is talking about the machine gun leader, and the views of the two are full of twists.

Boss Zhou is still saying, "People's fate can be changed, and there is no future to measure." I know a lot of fortune tellers, they are very accurate in the past, and they are accurate in the present, but when it comes to the future, hehe, there are very few accurate ones. ”

Zhang Nanhua didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore, "Brother Zhou, in addition to knowing the name, is there any extra background story in this picture, such as under what history Li Cheng painted it, and what was his state of mind and experience at that time?" ”

"Yo," Boss Zhou scratched his head: "This question is too professional, don't talk about me, if you go to the Forbidden City and ask the old experts inside, you may not be able to answer it, you have to be a little exquisite." What techniques does his painting have, I can still talk to you in the vernacular, but it is really impossible to ask about the origin of painting. ”

Zhang Nanhua's face showed a look of extreme disappointment, staring at the painting and sighing softly.

"However," Boss Zhou changed his words: "I know a legend about Li Cheng, so I should be happy." ”

Zhang Nanhua looked at him and made a gesture to please speak.

Boss Zhou said: "Li Cheng was a person in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, who had encountered the war of the Five Dynasties, and moved to Yingqiu to live at that time, and it is said that he also met immortals. He later achieved so much, it was the gods who took him to travel all over the world and watch the rise and fall of the netherworld, so he had this insight. Of course, these are all jokes, how can there be so many immortals, and I have heard many versions of this story, which happened to different ancients, so it may not be true. ”

Zhang Nanhua muttered thoughtfully, "Immortal", "Painting", "Li Damin", ...... After repeating it several times, he suddenly turned his head to look at me: "Lin Cong, you haven't spoken, tell me your opinion." ”

I was trying my best to keep my composure, but my mind was already in turmoil, "This, this, that, that......"

Boss Zhou smiled: "Brother Lin, don't be so panicked, the first time we met, did I put pressure on you?" Ha ha. ”

I immediately understood that Boss Zhou said this to relieve me. Hinting to me, we were meeting for the first time, and he would definitely not shake off the previous things. This antique dealer does have a good way of observing human nature in detail.

He thought I was afraid that he would reveal the secret between us, which was a bit wrong, I was afraid, but what I was most afraid of was not this, but the real painting in the leather jacket.

Zhang Nanhua looked at me, his eyes gradually turned into a stare, "Lin Cong, what's wrong?" Why are you afraid of this? ”

I hurriedly told myself in my heart, I must be calm, Zhang Nanhua is the human spirit of the human spirit, and if he leaks a little bit of the tip of the tail, he can catch it.

I shook my head: "I don't understand it either, it is said that this painting was painted more than a thousand years ago, and the location of the painting has long been unrecognizable, and it is really ...... that Li Damin can actually run there." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Nanhua narrowed his eyes and stared at me and asked.

"We were confined by this painting," I said, and the more I said, the faster I said, "we should think in terms of practicality." ”

Zhang Nanhua seemed to move, and made a gesture, expressing his willingness to hear the details.

"Li Damin kidnapped Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue will definitely struggle, if they go to a distant place, they must cooperate with Xiaoxue. Take transportation, enter and exit the high-speed rail station, take a plane or something, you have to have Xiaoxue's ID card, you have to book a ticket and go through the security check, how can Xiaoxue obediently cooperate with Li Damin in this state. I said, "As things stand, there are a lot of practical issues, so there is only one conclusion." ”

Zhang Nanhua and Boss Zhou looked at me together, and Boss Zhou nodded: "Brother Lin's thinking is really thoughtful, I don't think we have thought about it, so what is this conclusion?" ”

"This conclusion is," I paused, "Li Damin has not been out of Jiangbei City so far, not even far away, and has been hiding under our noses. ”

Zhang Nanhua's whole body was shocked, and he blurted out, "It's dark under the light? ”

Boss Zhou applauded, "Wonderful, it's really dark under the lights." ”

Zhang Nanhua touched his chin, paced back and forth on the ground, "hissed" inhaling and thinking, his brows seemed to be a little stretched, as long as Li Damin did not run away, this would be easy to do. Otherwise, if you go to Tianshan Mountain, Hainan Island or something, even if you know his location, it will be looking for a needle in a haystack. And now that he is not far away, right under his nose, this thing will be easy to do.

I said, "It's not a question of how to find it, it's a change of mind." Li Damin is hiding nearby, but how to find him, the place where he is hiding must be our blind spot, and we can't think of it. ”

Zhang Nanhua paced back and forth, stopped to look at us, he must have thought of something.

Boss Zhou and I looked at him together, Zhang Nanhua smashed his right fist on the palm of his left hand, and asked Boss Zhou where the real painting of Li Cheng was.

"Yo," Boss Zhou smiled bitterly: "Then who knows." Li Cheng was a master of the Song Dynasty, a painting is worth a thousand gold, often priceless, and most of his paintings are not in China, Japan and Britain have more collections. I wasn't lucky enough to see the real thing, it was a scanned copy from another friend. What do you think of? ”

Zhang Nanhua said: "I am trying to connect the fact that Li Damin is still in the city with this painting of the Song Dynasty, and try to think of two points in a line. There must be a connection between them, but I can't figure out what kind of relationship, what kind of cause and effect, for a while...... But I have a gut feeling that the painting must be in our Jiangbei City. ”

He walked over and patted me on the shoulder: "Lin Cong, thank you, the ideas you provided are very good." Although I haven't thought it through for a while, I have a feeling that Li Damin is nearby, and even he knows that we are having a party today! ”

As he spoke, he swept around the private room, as if Li Damin was hiding in a corner.

For some reason, hearing him say this, I shuddered, and my heart became heavier and heavier. Boss Zhou was also thoughtful and did not speak.

We chatted for a while, and we could see that Zhang Nanhua was absent-minded. Boss Zhou observed his words, glanced at me, and then offered to leave, and I quickly stood up.

Zhang Nanhua should have ideas, and he needs to think about it, so he didn't keep it, and we withdrew after a few pleasantries.

When I arrived outside the teahouse, Boss Zhou looked at me and smiled, and I smiled awkwardly.

"Brother Lin, if you have time, go to my Jubao Zhai and sit down." Boss Zhou invited with a smile.

I hurriedly said, next time, next time, next time I will definitely bother Boss Zhou.

Boss Zhou said, let's do it, I'm just going back to the city to give you a ride.

In this line, there is only a taxi fare left. I followed him into the car, and Boss Zhou drove back.

On the way, none of us spoke, and Boss Zhou suddenly said, Brother Lin, if there are any good things you can bring in the future, the price must not be a loss.

I blurted out, "I know you sold the dragon scales to He Qingyou." ”

Boss Zhou tilted his head to look at me and asked very interestingly, what else do you know?

I said, I also know that He Qingyou is dead.

"Brother Lin is really powerful, he doesn't show the mountains and doesn't leak, but in fact, he is secretly grandiose." Boss Zhou looked as usual, smiling slightly and praising me.

"Boss Zhou," I hesitated for a moment, and said slowly, "Do you want to recycle that dragon scale?" ”

Boss Zhou said in a comical tone in cross talk while driving: "Yo, that's not easy." I heard that He Qingyou has several palaces, among which there are many antiques, which are currently sealed by the family to be auctioned, I have the heart and the ability. ”

"The scales are not in his palace," I said, "I know where they are." I just don't know if Boss Zhou has the guts? ”

"Tell me about it."

I smiled: "If Boss Zhou doesn't have this heart, I will say it in vain, and I will add trouble." ”

"Sensei play tricks on me," Boss Zhou looked at me crookedly and snorted: "Brother Lin, I'm not the object of your calculations, I'm your partner!" Since I have this question, I must have this in mind. To tell you the truth, overseas has recently set off a craze for collecting dragon scales and keels, as long as it is something on the dragon's body, there is a special group to buy, and the price is expensive. Lao He died a pity, but good things can't be bad, as long as they can be recycled and re-sold, they are still at a high price. However," he said, "I won't do anything that violates the law." Now there are old and young, not as good as before. ”

"Of course." I said, "Let me tell you, the dragon scales are actually hidden in He Qingyou's office before his death. ”
