Chapter Seventy-One: The Ciphertext on the Back
Countless speculations flashed in Yan Yu's heart, if the mysterious person was not in the deep mountains and old forests, but hiding in a place like the health center, and even using the identity of the dean as a cover, then all the previous inferences would run in another direction!
When he tentatively put his hand on Dean Qi's shoulder, he squeezed it hard!
Dean Qi's body stiffened, like an electric shock, he suddenly turned his head and asked Yan Yu, "What's wrong?" ”
Yan Yu was a little disappointed, because he saw that Dean Qi's face was full of surprise, but unfortunately it was not frightened, and there was no feeling of pain, the human body's reaction to pain was an instinctive reflex, and it would involuntarily protect itself.
So this reaction can't be hidden, but unfortunately, Dean Qi didn't have the reaction that Yan Yu imagined.
Yan Yu was also a little embarrassed, but he was already ready to deal with it, and at this time, Dean Qi said, "Old Qi, thank you." ”
Dean Qi came back to his senses and smiled at Yan Yu: "It's all big men, I'm embarrassed to say it so hypocritically, let's go, change the medicine for you." ”
Yan Yu easily covered up the past, and after Dean Qi changed the medicine for his face injury, Yan Yu came to the police station.
The supervision team had already gone to the reception center, Meng Jiefang and Yu Guofeng stayed in the office, smoking silently, and the room was full of dullness.
Yan Yu's arrival did not change the atmosphere.
"What's wrong?" Yan Yu sat down.
Yu Guofeng didn't speak, glanced at Meng Jiefang, and motioned to Meng Jiefang to say, Yan Yu knew that things were not good.
Because Meng Jiefang is good at communication, he usually tells the bad news.
Sure enough, Meng Jiefang poured Yan Yu a glass of water first, and then said: "Luo Wenchong, the leader of the supervision group, suggested that we should investigate cautiously, not disturb the masses anymore, and avoid large-scale casualties again......
"As for you, you can no longer get involved, whether openly or privately, once you are found to be interfering with the investigation of the case, you will be formally arrested for the crime of obstructing official business!"
This result was not too surprising, Yan Yu nodded, and said to Meng Jiefang and Yu Guofeng: "I understand, I have caused you trouble." ”
Yu Guofeng leaned back in his chair, smoking a cigarette, and gently tapping the rhythm on the table with one hand, but Meng Jiefang was full of apologies, and said to Yanyu: "Don't say that, thanks to you, we found a new clue, although the clue is broken now, but there is a general direction of investigation......
At the beginning, if Yan Yu failed to insist on his words about the mysterious person, he was afraid that it would be difficult for them to find a breakthrough, so for Meng Jiefang's thanks, Yan Yu also nodded and accepted.
"Send more people to protect Fu Qingfang, the deceased on the other side of the fire, although the identity has not been confirmed for the time being, but for the sake of prudence, it is better to protect it first, if the deceased is really a master of jumping, then Fu Qingfang will be the only survivor......"
Although he could no longer participate in their investigation in the future, Yan Yu still admonished, and Meng Jiefang nodded and said, "Don't worry, we know." ”
Yan Yu nodded and looked at Yu Guofeng, who didn't seem to have much desire to speak, so he stood up.
"Well, I'll go back first."
Meng Jiefang also stood up and shook hands with Yan Yu, Yu Guofeng stood up at this time and threw his cigarette case over: "Take it back and smoke it." ”
Yan Yu wanted to refuse, but after seeing Yu Guofeng's eyes, he also stuffed the cigarette case into his pocket.
Walking out of the office and coming to the door, Yan Yu took out the cigarette case, opened it and saw that there was really a small note inside!
There were only three words on the note: "Qin Dayou".
Yan Yu also understood it, although he couldn't participate in the investigation, but after all, he lived in the village and could get close to Qin Dayou, if he could find something from him, it would be a surprise, Yu Guofeng didn't want to waste Yan Yu's resources.
Whether the fire in the Dragon King Temple is really Qin Da's doing, Yu Guofeng and the others will definitely not give up the investigation, and Qin Dayou's person is by no means as simple as it seems, and Yan Yu will pay attention to it in the future.
But right now, Yan Yu is still more concerned about the mask in the bag, which was taken from the mysterious person's face, and it is the most direct clue so far!
After returning to the health center, Yan Yu found Dean Qi, retrieved the mask, closed the door of the ward, and studied it carefully.
This half of the ghost face is made of brass, diffusing a fishy smell of copper and iron, the surface is round, the luster is gentle, it seems that it is not a thing at the bottom of the box, but often played.
There is nothing unusual about the front of the mask, but when it is reversed, the back is wavy, which should have been left over from the time of casting, and at first glance, it is not unusual.
Although he had great expectations, he didn't find any clues, and Yan Yu was not discouraged, after all, this is just a mask, and its function is only to cover the face, and it is not other personal gadgets, so it is normal to have no clues.
Throwing the mask aside, Yan Yu lay down, thinking of a way in his heart, but the more he thought about it, the more irritated he became.
He picked up the mask again and looked at it under the lamp, but he couldn't see any clues, so he could only throw it back and fall asleep in a daze.
I slept until the second day, and when I woke up, there was a tin lunch box on the bedside table, and Dean Qi was sitting on the edge of the bed, which made Yan Yu startled and hurriedly bounced off the bed.
Dean Qi was holding the ghost face in his hand and was looking at it!
"Dean...... Old Qi, why are you here......"
Dean Qi smiled: "Awake? I saw that you were sleeping deeply, so I didn't wake you up, and brought you coarse grain steamed buns, get up and eat. ”
Yan Yu sat up, but his gaze never took off the mask, in fact, he was hinting at Dean Qi that this thing was a personal item.
Dean Qi also knew: "Be so careful, let me help you save it, is this thing?" ”
Yan Yu pretended to be humble and said: "This is Weng Riyou sent me, saying that it is an old thing, Lao Qi, you also know, the archaeological team is here, I have been close to the comrades of the police station these days, in case it is discovered, I can't tell ......"
Yan Yu's excuse is reasonable, Dean Qi nodded and said: "You don't need to explain to me, I also have a lot of old things at home, besides, I heard that you like to collect old books, don't worry, my mouth is tight." ”
Hearing that Dean Qi also likes to collect, Yan Yu thought about it for a while, and then took advantage of the situation and said, "Old Qi, since you are a collector, what can you see?" ”
Dean Qi smiled bitterly: "Are you trying to test me?" ”
Yan Yu also smiled: "Don't dare, little brother, I'm clumsy, I can't see a good one, don't you want to borrow your light from Lao Qi......"
Dean Qi nodded sternly, shook his head and smiled, and said, "This thing doesn't have a logo, I really can't see the calendar, but it'...... The texture on the back of this is weird......"
"Lines? Isn't that what was left over from the time of casting? ”
Dean Qi shook his head: "No, I also have some bronze ware, in addition to casting, these utensils will be beaten and rounded, this mask has a delicate texture, soft luster, and is by no means shoddy, even if it is on the back, it will inevitably be trimmed and polished, these lines are too rough, in my opinion, they should be engraved." ”
"Engraved? Similar inscriptions? ”
Yan Yu took the mask back, and carefully observed the lines on the back, and there were really some deep traces!
"It's not an inscription, these lines are too densely arranged, and it's easy to create an illusion, but you see, these stripes are very similar to Yunshui, and it's very likely that they are Yunshu."
"Cloud Book?" After Dean Qi mentioned this, Yan Yu took a closer look, and it really looked like a three-point appearance, but it was more dense and complicated than the cloud seal he understood.
"It's a bit like a cloud seal, but it's too fancy......"
The so-called cloud seal, is transformed from the seal book, but more complicated and difficult to understand than the seal book, that is a kind of secret text dedicated to Taoist priests, laymen can not interpret it at all, the folk will also call the cloud seal "book of heaven"!
Dean Qi was a little surprised: "I heard that little brother, you are well-informed and knowledgeable, but I didn't expect that even Yun Zhen knew about ......."
Yan Yu smiled humbly, Dean Qi nodded and said, "It should be right, this thing is a Taoist thing, but ...... Taoists usually don't hide their heads and tails, and among the many Taoist weapons, masks are relatively rare, which is a treasure......"
Yan Yu, who is not a baby, actually doesn't care, what he cares about is the cloud seal above! This is most likely a breakthrough to find out the true identity of the mysterious person or related clues!
"Old Qi, can you decipher this cloud seal?"
Yan Yu's face was full of hope, but Lao Qi was a little stunned: "Me? Don't lift me up, although I have a lot of things in my collection, but they are all commonplace, and the dog meat is not allowed to be eaten, where can I understand this heavenly book......"
Yan Yu was a little disappointed, and the light of hope in his eyes also cooled, so he heard Lao Qi say: "Don't be disappointed, I know some people, I can help you ask, maybe someone can understand?" ”
Hearing this, Yan Yu hurriedly shook his head: "No, I know who to look for, Lao Qi, you can help me keep it secret." ”
Dean Qi didn't ask any more, but just warned in a serious tone: "Brother, since you recognize me as a year-old friend, I also advise you, this kind of thing, try it lightly, don't indulge in it, we can't go on the side door!" ”
Looking at Dean Qi's righteous face, Yan Yu also felt funny: "Don't worry, brother, I'm not that kind of person, I'm just curious." ”
Dean Qi was relieved at this time.
Yan Yu had breakfast, then borrowed Dean Qi's bicycle and went to the direction of Laohe Fort.
The reason why he didn't need Dean Qi's help to find others was because he kept it secret and didn't want the news to leak out, and secondly, he didn't want to go far and near because he had a more suitable candidate.
Although he was reluctant to take the initiative to find him, when it came to things like the Cloud Seal Heavenly Book, I believe that no one was more professional than him, and this person was Zhao Tongxi!
It's just that Yan Yu was apprehensive in his heart, because the mask was not so much taken off by himself, but rather deliberately left to him by a mysterious person.
If this is the case, could it be that the mysterious person deliberately led himself to Zhao Tongyi?
