Chapter 551: Ancient Jade
Although Brother Yong has regained a certain ability to move, it is still very sad to see him limping and walking, Liu Mei and I have been guarding Laila until six o'clock in the afternoon, and Zhang Qiang drove the car back after nightfall, looked at each other, and each other's expressions were very entangled.
In the evening, I asked Liu Mei to accompany Laila home, and I went to a food stall on the side of the road with Zhang Qiang, two bottles of beer, Zhang Qiang asked me about my next plans, I only said that I was going to Kyoto.
Zhang Qiang was startled and snored, "Isn't it Xiao Ye, you're going to find a glutton now?" I nodded, yes, what's the problem?
Gluttony has always been a thorn stuck in my throat, he doesn't die, I feel uneasy, and secondly, although Zhang Mazi's death is mostly blamed on the Tibetan master, but the existence of gluttony cannot be ignored.
Zhang Qiang sighed and said, "Brother, I think you'd better not be too impulsive, our goal is only to grasp the situation of the gluttony in Kyoto, as for what he wants to do in Kyoto and where he lives, these are all things we don't know, Nuo is a big Kyoto, tens of millions of people, even if you go, how to find it?" ”
I said that things are man-made, and when will it take to not go now? I knew that Zhang Qiang dissuaded me out of good intentions, but I couldn't step through the hurdle in my heart, and I only wanted to get revenge quickly, and finally Zhang Qiang ran out of way, rummaging around in my mobile phone, and it took me a long time to find a phone number, and let me communicate with this person after I went to Kyoto.
I wrote down the number and asked who this person was? Zhang Qiang said, "This person's name is Xu Mingyuan, he is a headhunter, that is, commonly known as a private detective, he dealt with me a few years ago, he is not bad, you can contact him when you go to Kyoto, for my sake he should help you, but this person's friendship with me is not particularly deep, some things can help, and some things can only rely on you." ”
I took the number and said thank you, Zhang Qiang sighed, said thank you, thank you, from the first day I met you, I knew that you must not be a fuel-efficient lamp, thank you needless to say, but brother, I have to advise you, we do everything we can, I know that you are no longer than you were at the beginning, but don't forget, this time you have to face the whole Mormon.
I nodded and said I knew, and the wine was drunk in the middle of the night before it ended, because Laila was living with Liu Mei, I was embarrassed to go back and disturb, so I returned to the fish shop to accompany Han Tao for a night, and the next day I told Liu Mei about going to Kyoto, she was naturally worried, but she also knew my temper, and let me go after a little temper, and asked me how I was alone, didn't Lao Zhang go with him?
I sighed and said, "Lao Zhang has nothing to do with this matter, it's me who wants to take revenge on my teacher, not to mention that if even Lao Zhang is gone, it's easy for no one in the store to look at it, I'm just going to Kyoto with a tentative mind, there's no need to bring so many people."
Liu Mei will no longer persuade, in the afternoon I contacted Zhang Qiang to buy a ticket, at nine o'clock that night, I embarked on a flight to Kyoto, tossed on the road for nearly five hours, arrived at Kyoto International Airport, was startled by the lively scene in front of me, first took a taxi to find a hotel nearby.
When I woke up early the next morning, I immediately dialed the mobile phone number that Zhang Qiang gave me, and soon after the other party connected, asked me where I was, I said in a certain hotel, the other party said why didn't you contact me last night, I said it was too late, it was inconvenient to disturb, he asked me to go down to the hotel in half an hour, and he would personally drive to meet me.
Xu Mingyuan is a middle-aged man of about thirty-four or five years old, medium height, slightly dark skin, and a very attractive mustache on his chin, which looks like a Japanese at first glance, but he speaks a very authentic Beijing accent, and said very enthusiastically after inviting me to get in the car, "Boss Zhang called me yesterday and said that you were on the plane at nine o'clock in the evening, and I thought you would contact me immediately when you got off the plane." ”
I yawned and said, "It's too late when I get off the plane, so I didn't bother you, by the way, Boss Xu, I heard Lao Zhang say that you are a private detective, what are you mainly responsible for doing in this business?" ”
Xu Mingyuan smiled and said that in the past few years, what else can I do? It's basically to help some resentful women run errands, inquire about their husbands' news, grab some evidence of cheating or something, it's not as good as before to do business, you don't know, the more prosperous the city, the higher the divorce rate, and doing our business is like a paparazzi.
I couldn't help but laugh when I heard this, and went to a detective agency with him, on the 28th floor of a high-rise building in Kyoto, Xu Mingyuan was the only one in the office, he invited me to sit down, poured me a cup of coffee, and said a simple polite sentence, I went straight to the topic and told Xu Mingyuan about my purpose.
After listening to my words, Xu Mingyuan thought deeply for a while, and then said helplessly, "Your matter, Boss Zhang told me some, but not all, the glutton, this person is very mysterious, I asked a lot of friends to investigate last night, but there are some eyebrows, as far as I know, this guy's real name is Zhou Wanshan, and he is also from your Qianchuan side, but in recent years, he has been frequently active in Southeast Asia, and he has only recently arrived in Kyoto." ”
I was secretly in my heart, thinking that it was worthy of Zhang Qiang's private detective who introduced me to me, and his work efficiency was so high, he had already found some eyebrows before my ass was hot, so I hurriedly asked, "Then do you know what the gourmand came to Kyoto for, where does this guy live and where to rest?" ”
Xu Mingyuan smiled dryly, "Brother Ye, don't be anxious, this person is elusive, there seems to be someone in Kyoto, I can only find out that he is temporarily settled in Kyoto, but I can't find out his specific location, and there are ......"
Speaking of this, Xu Mingyuan paused, lowered his voice and said, "Recently, there was a big incident in Kyoto, it is said that someone excavated the ancient jade of the Spring and Autumn Period in a Taoist temple, which is worth a lot of money, and several famous Taoist temples are involved in it and are jointly holding exhibitions, and the glutton happened to come to Kyoto at this time, I suspect that his appearance may be related to the ancient jade." ”
Ancient jade?
Hearing this, I immediately thought of the Yin Jade that Mormon was searching for, and my heart suddenly sank, and I hurriedly asked Xu Mingyuan if he knew the details of that ancient jade? Xu Mingyuan smiled bitterly and said, "I stay in the office all day long, and I rarely go to join in the fun with others. ”
I nodded and said that I had finally come to Kyoto, so naturally I wanted to see the world more, so where is the next exhibition? I'd like to visit it if it's convenient.
Xu Mingyuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "It is said that this ancient jade is not small, if you want to visit, you must get an official ticket, you are new to the city, and you don't know the environment here, so give me a day, I will help you get a ticket, and then we will visit together." ”
I hurriedly thanked him, Xu Mingyuan waved his hand and said politely, he once owed Zhang Qiang a little favor, and doing this little thing was just a gesture. In the afternoon, I declined his invitation, took a taxi to Tiananmen Square by myself, and found a hotel with convenient transportation in the evening, and sat down cross-legged to meditate.
The next morning, I received a call from Xu Mingyuan, who said that the tickets had been obtained and asked if I should go now?
