Chapter 13: Old Newspapers
My Blood Jade Cicada, since it was brought to Qingru two years ago, has never absorbed the breath of the corpse, so it has lost its original color and has become an ordinary piece of jade.
Of course, according to what Zhuo Yifan said, the jade quality of this blood jade cicada is different from ordinary jade, so through human flesh and blood, it can be raised back to a bright color.
Zhuo Yifan suspected that the female corpse under the bed board of Mr. Zhao's house was used to support the blood jade cicada.
It's just that the matter of the blood jade cicada was known to outsiders, and someone came to the door to snatch it, and thought that the blood jade cicada was offered to Mr. Zhao's family.
So, the man used a brutal caesarean section to kill his family.
"No matter how good the jade quality of this thing is, it's just a thing, so the murderer is too much?" I gritted my teeth tightly, but in my mind, I was thinking about whether the reason why my family was ruined was because of this blood jade cicada, and I was angry from my heart, grabbed the jade cicada and smashed it to the ground.
"Eh! My little ancestor, do you know how important this thing is? Zhuo Yifan immediately squatted down and picked up the jade cicada.
I looked at the jade cicada, said with red eyes, "Can it be more important than human life?" ”
"Fat Jiu, whether it can be more important than human life depends on what the person "behind" thinks, not by us. No matter how you got this thing, don't investigate it anymore, you read your books carefully, learn your skills, and in a few years, maybe you will be able to become an apprentice. Zhuo Yifan said, putting a hand on my shoulder.
I raised my head suddenly, glared at Zhuo Yifan, and shouted a little uncontrollably: "I entered this pawnshop to find out these things, otherwise, I would have "left" with my family a long time ago." ”
After saying that, the tears rolled down uncontrollably, over the years, I often secretly cried in the dead of night, thinking about grandma, grandpa, father, and Aunt Qin and Sister Lan Qing, as well as those uncles and aquatic students in the village.
I feel so useless, it's been two years, and I haven't found any eyebrows.
"Fat Jiu, your family also died because of this blood jade cicada?" Seeing that I was emotional, Zhuo Yifan had already guessed it.
I didn't speak, just silently shed tears.
Zhuo Yifan was a little at a loss: "Fat Jiu, what is a big man crying about, I'm most afraid of seeing people shed tears, don't you just want to know the origin of this thing?" Go, go to the white rakshasa. ”
Zhuo Yifan, who was still very afraid of Xiao Leng's coldness before, saw me crying, and immediately relented, took my wrist, and led me towards Xiao Leng's door.
Xiao Leng's room was already pitch black, Zhuo Yifan reached out and slapped the door several times, and after making sure that there was no one inside, he raised his foot and kicked the door several times.
I heard a "bang" sound, and the wooden door slammed against the wall behind it.
There was a chill from Xiao Leng's room, which gave me goosebumps as I stood at the door.
"Smack!" Zhuo Yifan turned on the light, Xiao Leng's room was clean and simple, but because it was too simple, it didn't look like someone had lived in it at all.
In this room, except for several quilts on the bed, there is not a single household item.
"Is this really his room?" I turned my face sideways and looked at Zhuo Yifan.
Zhuo Yifan nodded: "That's right, he rarely comes to the pawnshop, and he stays here when he comes." ”
Zhuo Yifan said as he opened the drawer of the bedside table, which was also empty and empty.
"What's going on with this kid?" Zhuo Yifan frowned, Xiao Lengyan couldn't find any useful clues for this "clean".
I looked at the red bedding and sheets, and I didn't have a clue for a while, I thought that after coming in, I would find a lot of secrets about Xiao Lengyan, he was such a mysterious person, I was also full of curiosity about him, but I didn't expect that there was nothing here.
"Come and help, take this quilt to the side, and see if there is any mystery under this bed." Zhuo Yifan motioned for me to take the futon on the bed away.
As soon as I reached out and picked up the futon, a pile of things fell out of it.
Zhuo Yifan leaned over and picked up the things that fell to the ground, and found that they were more than a dozen yellowed sheets of paper, which seemed to be newspapers from a long time ago.
What is recorded above is the news about the auction of the blood jade cicada, no, it should be said that it is old news now, it turns out that someone was already selling the blood jade cicada at that time.
Moreover, the name is also very weird, called "Corpse Fragrance Jade Cicada", and in the end, this "Corpse Fragrance Jade Cicada" was bought by a mysterious person.
"Mystery man?" I stared at the picture of a man in the newspaper, because the newspaper was so old that the picture on it was very blurry, and I couldn't even see the back clearly.
However, the picture of the "corpse fragrant jade cicada" next to it was taken very clearly, and it was almost exactly the same as the one left by the grandfather.
"Zhuo Yifan, you say, is there several pieces of this blood jade cicada?" I frowned and asked Zhuo Yifan.
Zhuo Yifan was frowning and pondering, and before he could answer me, he heard a deep voice behind him: "Seven pieces!" ”
Zhuo Yifan's shoulders and I trembled, and then we turned our heads sharply and saw Xiao Lengyan who didn't know when he entered the house.
I saw his dark blue eyes looking at me and Zhuo Yifan, Zhuo Yifan was stunned for a moment, and then straightened his chest and coughed in the next second.
"White Rakshasa, do you want to get Mr. Zhao's blood jade cicada, that's why you killed Mr. Zhao's family." Zhuo Yifan raised his chin slightly and stared at Xiao Lengyan with a serious face.
"I didn't kill it." Xiao Leng replied lightly, and sat directly on the table beside him, his eyes revealing coldness: "Why are you here?" ”
"I, I, of course we suspect you, you are Hongru's person, we Hongru do not harbor murderers." Zhuo Yifan said and pulled me behind him, wanting to keep a distance from Xiao Lengyan.
Xiao Leng gaze swept over Zhuo Yifan and looked at me, I thought about it carefully, when I raised my head downstairs and looked at the room where Mr. Zhao was, a bald shadow appeared in the darkness.
The shadow flickered, but I'm pretty sure it was a bald head.
"It's not him, I see the murderer is bald." I pushed Zhuo Yifan's hand away.
Zhuo Yifan immediately turned his face sideways to look at me: "Fat Jiu, when did you see it?" ”
"When we were downstairs, I saw a bald man flashing through the window of Mr. Zhao's house." Before I finished my words, Zhuo Yifan immediately interrupted.
"Fat Jiu, you said that when we were standing downstairs at Mr. Zhao's house, you saw a bald head in his house?" Zhuo Yifan stared at me, and there was a kind of doubt between his eyebrows: "Fat Jiu, there was no light around at that time, yes, even if you have special eyes and can see more clearly in the dark, but do you know the distance between us and that floor at that time?" ”
"Zhuo Yifan, I really saw it." I looked at Zhuo Yifan seriously and said firmly.
Zhuo Yifan frowned, but he stopped talking and didn't argue with me.
And I, on the other hand, looked at Xiao Lengyan: "I, I, when I entered your room, I actually wanted to know what kind of origin this blood jade cicada had." ”
After speaking, I motioned to Zhuo Yifan to take out the blood jade cicada.
Zhuo Yifan showed my blood jade cicada to Xiao Lengyan, thinking that Xiao Lengyan would be very interested, but in the end, Xiao Lengyan actually just glanced at the jade cicada.
"Hey, don't pretend not to care, if you don't care about this jade cicada, why do you collect so much information about the jade cicada? White Rakshasa, say, Who are you? What do you want to do? Zhuo Yifan's voice was raised extremely high, trying to force Xiao Leng to tell the truth.
It's just that this trick didn't work for Xiao Lengran, and he didn't even look up at Zhuo Yifan.
"Xiao Ye, I, I know that you are not a bad person, I just want to find out what secrets are hidden in this blood jade cicada now, because it is very likely that my family will die because of this blood jade cicada." My nose was sour when I said it, but this time I didn't cry.
Xiao looked at me coldly, and finally walked over to the bed, tore up the newspapers on the bed directly, and threw them on the table beside him.
Zhuo Yifan and I were both stunned, thinking that Xiao Lengyan was angry.
But in the next second, Xiao Lengyan looked at Zhuo Yifan and said, "Tell me, why are you interested in the Blood Jade Cicada?" ”
When Xiao Leng stared at a person, that look would make people shudder.
Zhuo Yifan shrunk his neck, a little stunned, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface.
"Everyone in our business is interested in antiques." Zhuo Yifan replied.
Xiao Leng listened coldly, but his eyes sank: "Since this is the case, there is no need for me to tell you what I know." ”
After Xiao Leng finished speaking, he pointed in the direction of the door, which meant to blast us out.
I hurriedly looked at Zhuo Yifan: "Zhuo Yifan, what do you say?" ”
At this moment, I was afraid that Xiao Leng would change my mind, so I hurriedly urged Zhuo Yifan.
Zhuo Yifan pursed his lips, with a helpless expression: "I also have one of this blood jade cicada." ”
This sentence made me pause immediately, Zhuo Yifan also has a blood jade cicada?
Xiao Lengyan did not show surprise, but looked at Zhuo Yifan with calm eyes: "You, like him, want to find out the origin of this blood jade cicada?" ”
"That's right, actually, I don't remember anything before, my family said I had a serious illness, and when I woke up, I didn't remember anything, so?" Zhuo Yifan paused, then raised his eyes and stared at Xiao Lengyan: "White Rakshasa, it's time for you to say it, why are you also investigating the matter of this blood jade cicada, don't tell me, it's a coincidence that you appeared there tonight." ”
Xiao Lengyan withdrew the gaze that fell on Zhuo Yifan's face, and said lukewarmly: "What if, I say, I also have this blood jade cicada?" ”
Zhuo Yifan and I both opened our mouths in shock, and looked at Xiao Lengyan in a daze.
I didn't think about this, and Xiao Lengyan didn't want to explain too much to us, just let us stop interfering in the investigation of the Blood Jade Cicada from now on.
"Why?" Zhuo Yifan was a little annoyed.
It is estimated that he has been desperately looking for it all these years, so he will not give up easily.
Xiao Leng looked at Zhuo Yifan and me, and then pointed to the blood jade cicada in Zhuo Yifan's hand and said: "Sometimes, if you don't know anything, maybe you can live a peaceful and ordinary life, if you know too much, I'm afraid that my life will be lost at any time." ”
As he spoke, he narrowed his dark blue eyes slightly, and there was a smell of death in those eyes.
