Horror (1)
There are not many pages in the guestbook, but all of them express their love for this library. There are also many comments about the number of book donations. A recent message reads, "Donate 100 books such as "The Philosophy of Life in Houhei Studies", and the payer is 'Gu Hengyu'"
Mu Qingcheng's heart trembled, she was 100% sure that this book donor was Gu Hengyu she was familiar with, and not another person. He had never talked to her about the library, but he came silently and silently supported her work.
"Xiao Qing-" The sudden loud voice startled her, she never dreamed that Chen Yanjin would appear in the library, how could a person like him like read books. However, the person standing in front of him is indeed this local tyrant. "Why are you here? Isn't there a celebration feast? ”
"Yes, the others were still drinking in the restaurant next door. I heard that there was a library upstairs in this hotel, so I came up and took a look. Chen Yanjin burped, the smell of wine was smoky, "I didn't expect to meet you again, tonight is really lucky, you also came to read a book?" ”
Mu Qingcheng frowned, and a feeling of uneasiness came up. She regretted not letting Gu Hengyu come up to help clean up. Gu Hengyu is a gentleman, and he will definitely not do anything out of the ordinary to her. Chen Biting Jin is different, she looks like a womanizer, and now she deeply understands what Cheng Yijie said, the danger of being alone here at night.
"I'm leaving, you take your time." Mu Qingcheng didn't care that the cleaning and tidying work had not been completed, and with a vigilant mentality, he hurriedly walked in front of Chen Yanjin.
As soon as Chen Biting Jin's hand stretched out, he grabbed her arm. "Why do you have to leave as soon as I come, stay with me for a while, otherwise I will be bored alone."
Mu Qingcheng threw his hand away with all his might. "The most important thing to read a book is to be quiet, how can it be boring."
Chen Yanjin didn't make any more moves, but stopped her from leaving, and begged in a low voice: "Stay with me for a while, I'm in a hurry, borrow a book and leave." My police sister dislikes me all day long, saying that I smell of copper, have no education and no quality, and ask me to read more books, but I am busy with business, how can I have time to read. I've never been to bookstores and libraries, and I wouldn't have been there if I hadn't heard that the library was a few floors away by elevator. I'm just here to get a little bit of culture and borrow a book by the way. I don't know what to borrow, so you can recommend one to me. ”
Mu Qingcheng sympathized with Chen Yanjin, his material life may be very rich, but the spiritual world is quite barren, and even his sister dislikes him. But she still didn't trust him and didn't want to be in the same room with him. "There are stacks of books over there, and at the top there is a copy of "The Philosophy of Life in Thick Black Studies". She pointed to the direction, "That book is good, you go get it yourself, register it in the registration book, and return it next time." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yanjin's mobile phone rang. The surroundings were quiet, and Mu Qingcheng could hear that it was a woman's voice.
"I'm in the library upstairs, so I'll go down right away when I borrow a book." Chen Yanjin agreed and ran into the room and went to get the book "The Philosophy of Life in Houheixue" by himself. Then find the registration book and write a quick line on it.
"The person I made an appointment with arrived early, I have to leave quickly, and I'll talk to you next time." He hurried away with his book, and soon the bell for the elevator arrived.
Mu Qingcheng smiled self-deprecatingly, it was she who thought Chen Yanjin too badly. It was probably Cheng Yijie's excessive behavior in the library that left a shadow on her last time, in fact, it is estimated that there are very few men who dare to act as recklessly as him in such a public place.
She resumed her work of cleaning and tidying up, and when she passed through the register, she picked it up and flipped through it. Readers can borrow books by themselves, write their names and the number of books borrowed on the registration form, and check the "return books" column after returning. There are as few people who register as there are those who leave messages, and a considerable number of them simply take the books and do not even return them. But Xu Youran said that the original intention of this library was to convey a sense of trust through books and make this society warmer. "It doesn't matter if you borrow it or not, you can take it home and collect it, but we believe that the value of books is to share rather than keep them private."
The last one to register was Chen Biting Jin, crooked, like a primary school student's font. Mu Qingcheng shook his head with a smile and put the registration book back in its place.
Everything was packed up and stopped, it was close to half past ten in the evening, and no one came back during this time. Mu Qingcheng left with her bag on her back, and after the elevator arrived, she walked in and pressed the button on the first floor. The library is on the 12th floor, and the 2nd to 10th floors of this building are all hotel rooms, and you need to swipe your card to open the elevator door, and the 11th floor is an office floor rented by the company, so you can come and go at will.
When he arrived on the 11th floor, the elevator stopped, and the 11th floor was an office floor, and Mu Qingcheng thought that there were probably company employees working overtime until now. But when the elevator doors opened, it was pitch black outside, and there were no people waiting. She was wondering, everything happened suddenly, a black shadow rushed over, she couldn't see the other party's face clearly, she was dragged out of the elevator room with a great force, and before she could shout for help, her mouth and nose had been covered hard, and she lost consciousness in an instant.
When she came to her senses, she was in a dark room. She lay on a bed, opened her eyes, and through the gap in the curtains, she could faintly see the bustling lights of the high-rise buildings outside the window. Recalling what happened in the elevator room, she was shocked, angry and terrified, and got out of bed with a bone. Fortunately, the clothes and pants are well worn on the body, and there is no unusual feeling.
"Hello, girl." A hoarse male voice came from English.
Mu Qingcheng's heart tightened, his eyes widened, and he could barely make out that in the opposite corner, there was a vague figure. "Who are you?" She also responded in English. She tried to calm herself, but her voice trembled uncontrollably.
"My name is Jim." The man signed himself, "Don't be afraid, I have no malicious intent, I just want to talk to you about a deal." ”
"What kind of deal?" Mu Qingcheng felt that the blood in his body was flowing faster.
"I'm very interested in the treasure of your museum, the Song people's copy version of "Han Xizai's Night Banquet". If you're willing to help me get that painting, I'll pay you a very good one. Jim replied.
After understanding the other party's intentions, Mu Qingcheng was able to talk to him calmly: "This is impossible, our museum has a complete security system, which can not only prevent vandalism and theft, but also prevent natural disasters such as fires." Even if I were willing to help, I would not have the ability. What's more, stealing cultural relics is a crime, and what I hate most is criminal behavior, how can I break the law with my body. ”
Jim laughed. "If you don't have the ability, I can't talk to you about a deal. As far as I know, the restoration work of "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" is your sole responsibility, and it is nearing completion. The renovation of the museum's underground storeroom is about to begin, and all the artifacts will soon have to be moved elsewhere. This is the perfect opportunity, and I'll give you a high-quality imitation painting that can be faked, and you just have to take it in and drop it. When the time comes, hackers will break into the museum's security system and help you smuggle the original out of the museum. There are many procedures to go through in the transfer of cultural relics, many people handle them, and they have to be stored elsewhere for months, and all kinds of possibilities will arise. By the time it is discovered, a long time has passed, and even if you are held responsible, it will not fall on your head. ”
"How can you be so clear about the situation in our museum?" Mu Qingcheng was extremely surprised, although she couldn't see Jim's appearance clearly, but with her voice and extremely standard and fluent English, she should be able to determine that it was not someone from inside the museum. As for whether it was Chinese or foreigner, she could not make out clearly.
"I naturally have channels to learn about the situation of your museum, and everyone in our line of work has great powers." Jim was smug, "Well, would you like to make a deal with me?" I will not pay you less than seven figures. ”
"I don't want to." Mu Qingcheng didn't hesitate at all, "I said that I won't break the law with my own body." Even if you give me an eight-figure or nine-figure pay, I won't agree. ”
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Jim took on a threatening tone.
"I'm afraid, but I'd rather die than do such a heinous thing as stealing cultural relics. As a cultural relics restorer, it is your duty and mission to protect cultural relics. Mu Qingcheng was calm and fearless, "Besides, there is no need for you to kill me." I can't see your face clearly, let alone who you are. As for you telling me that your name is Jim, and not saying whether it is true or false, this English name, whether it is taken by foreigners or Chinese, check a lot. I can't afford to kill me for leaking such an inconsequential English name. ”
Jim laughed twice. "Courage is commendable, and he is quite eloquent. I'm not going to kill you, keep you, it's still useful to us. However, I won't let you go easily. Give you 10 days to think about it. If you don't want to cooperate with me, you have to bear the consequences. ”
Mu Qingcheng took a sharp breath of cold air. "What do you mean?"
Jim smiled gloomily. "You are already my prey, I will let you escape for a few days temporarily, but you are still under the control of the hunters, and I have the means to make you unable to survive and die."
A strong resentment and disgust seized Mu Qingcheng. "What qualifications do you have! I don't know you, why should I be controlled by you! ”
"I know you, girl, you almost ruined my big thing. So, I've been keeping an eye on you secretly. I've never been soft-hearted, and I'm no exception to pretty women. I advise you to cooperate with me obediently, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless. Jim no longer gave Mu Qingcheng a chance to speak, "You can go, I will find you as soon as the 10 days are over." You are a smart girl and believe that you will make the right choice. ”
