Chapter 313: The Panic of the Antique Shop Owner
Everyone ate a bowl of wontons in the canteen of the Public Security Bureau, and then Li Xiaobai dragged them to the shop where they traded antiques.
At that time, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, caused by the autumn tiger, and there were still many people walking and running at night on the street, Li Xiaobai stopped the car, walked to the door of a store called "Boya Xuan", and knocked lightly a few times.
The door opened, and a young man with glasses poked his head out, glanced at us, and then flashed into the void and motioned for us to hurry in.
The room was very dark, except for a small light bulb estimated to be only thirty watts hanging at the bend of the stairs.
"The boss is already waiting upstairs! A few please! ”
The man with glasses led us to the door of a room on the second floor, then stopped and motioned for us to enter.
The owner of the antique shop was a thin old man, dressed in a blue-gray robe, who looked to be in his old age, but in good spirits. The room is not large, but it is very elegantly arranged, with an old-fashioned tea table in the center and a rattan chair on one side.
Seeing us come in, the old man smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to brush his beard, and said, "Several, the Ming people don't say dark words, please Lu Lubao!" ”
The old man's voice was very loud, like an ancient bell, which showed his confidence. The words are also crepe, but they are not annoying.
I pulled out the white cloth from my bag and slowly spread it out onto the table.
The old man only glanced at it, then stood up at once, and his face changed suddenly.
"You...... Where did you get this thing from? ”
He asked tremblingly.
As soon as I saw his expression and listened to this voice, I knew there was a door! But he still pretended to be very calm on his face, and deliberately lowered his voice and asked him: "Does the old gentleman know what these patterns are?" ”
The old man stared at the rubbing, first nodded, then shook his head.
What does it mean? Do you know or don't know! Just when I wanted to think about how to ask again, what I didn't expect was that the old man shouted outward, "Xiaode, send off!" ”
Immediately, the man with glasses just now opened the door and made a "please" gesture.
The old man's behavior was so abnormal that several people were blindfolded.
"Old gentleman, do you recognize this pattern, if you do......"
Li Xiaobai didn't speak, but was stopped by the old man.
"This thing is not something you can touch...... If there is something good in the future, I will definitely pay a high price for my little brother, but ...... But if it has anything to do with it, please don't bring it again. ”
We begged again and again, but the old man felt like he had eaten a scale, and said nothing.
As I walked out of the antique shop, my heart became heavier, and I could feel that the old man knew something, and that there seemed to be a strong fear of such symbols and patterns.
At night, where Yu Lina slept became a problem.
I want to go back to the village with Li Xiaobai, maybe my physical strength is good! The feeling of "Xiao Biesheng is newly married" is still strong, but we go back, what should Yu Lina do? Follow us too? Sleeping in Hao Xiaoyu's house really responds to the old saying "three women in one play", and it is not suitable to sleep in Li Xiaoyao's house......
Another reason I can't go back tonight is because I'll have to look for Antique Lee, and the address he left me is in the middle of nowhere.
Thinking of the antique Li, I asked Zhang Kailong: "Brother Long, how is the matter with Director Yang Guoshan Yang?" ”
"Hey! There is still no result, and the verdict is an accidental death from sudden myocardial infarction, but those doubts cannot be reasonably explained so far, especially the five fingerprints. ”
When it comes to fingerprints, I am also confused, and I forgot to ask the antique Li that night.
That night, Li Xiaobai first sent Zhang Kailong and Chen Laosan back to the Public Security Bureau - originally Zhang Kailong wanted Yu Lina to go to the bureau with him for one night, but he thought that the dormitory building of the Public Security Bureau was full of old men, and the clothes were thin and inconvenient this season, and there were no extra beds in Xiao Li and Xiao Zhang's dormitory, so they had to give up.
Finally, I thought about what happened in Jinan Railway Hotel, and I thought of finding a hotel to stay for one night.
The urban area of Hekou District is not large, probably because of the large population mobility, there are many hotels and restaurants.
We found a hotel called Yuelai Hotel and walked in.
The hotel waiter is a girl in her early twenties, and when she saw us enter the door, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she said lazily, "There is only one big bed room, eighty a night, a deposit of fifty, please show your ID card." ”
We're in the dark.
"We ...... We have two rooms......" I explained.
"What? Two rooms? Why bother......" The disdain on the girl's face instantly turned into incomprehension.
I was just about to take a shower when I heard a knock on the door.
"Let's talk for a while, Xiao Zhen?"
Yu Lina's voice was heard.
Opening the door, Yu Lina walked in in her nightgown.
The dressing gowns in the hotel are all white, and since they are clothes to wear, they are natural and simple, and even a little revealing.
Yu Lina sat down on my bed, I don't know if it was intentional, all the thighs were displayed, and her chest was also very open.
I forcibly turned my gaze to the side and asked her, "You're not tired!" It's been a day of tossing and turning today......"
"I'm here to pay off my debts?" Yu Lina replied with a smile.
"Paying off debts? What a debt! ”
"Before, I owed you money! Didn't you say...... Do you want to pay for it? ”
As soon as he heard this, he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and said in his heart: This Nizi is playing with fire! Be careful that labor and management can't control it, and directly handle you quite well......
But I still replied: "We have a relationship, what kind of money do you have to pay!" ”
"That's not good, I never owe anyone anything - you're welcome!"
Yu Lina raised the corner of her eye and smiled at me.
Jokes aside, I still strongly controlled myself, and sat on the chair on one side and didn't dare to stand up, for fear of revealing an embarrassing scene.
Another reason why I endured it was for Li Xiaobad, the so-called "friends and wives can't be bullied", since I know that Li Xiaobai is interesting to Lina, as a brother, how can I take the good of others?
After the two chatted for a while, Yu Lina yawned.
"Go to sleep! What time is it......"
Yu Lina nodded, glanced at me, then at the big bed behind her, and went out with a smile.
I looked at my watch, it was almost eleven o'clock, I quickly took a shower, and then quietly closed the door and went downstairs.
When I walked to the hall, the little waiter was dozing off, and when he saw me, he frowned again.
"Our hotel also sells utensils, do you want protective gear, or recreational equipment?" As he spoke, he pointed to the cook on the side.
Then I looked, and the cook had some messy things in it, and even a fake doll, which looked very weird.
I shook my head and replied, "It's not about buying something, I'm going out to find someone." ”
Out of the hotel door, it was quiet outside, and everyone who was in no hurry at this point slept at home, only occasionally a car drove by. When looking for a hotel, I thought about finding a place close to the address of the antique Li Liu, and when I got out of the hotel, I bypassed a street, which was the address he left.
It was a small courtyard, the kind of courtyard house that was rented out to the public all year round.
