499. Chamber of Secrets
The middle-aged woman looked very sad, her eyes were red, obviously because we mentioned Mr. Lu, she remembered the sad past, and I didn't know how to open my mouth to tell him about the dragon group.
Li Qing took out a handkerchief very generously and handed it over, and the middle-aged woman was surprised: "You still use a handkerchief?" ”
"Yes, freshly washed, haven't used it yet." Li Qing said with a smile, "I like old things, such as those calligraphy and paintings, antiques and the like, I am very interested, I heard that Mr. Lu is also a person who likes antiques, and now I hear that the old man is leaving, it is really like a hammer, which makes me ......very painful."
The woman's expression improved a little and said: "By the way, my father once said that if he died, let me give some of the calligraphy and paintings he usually collects to his friends, maybe this is also his last wish, but there is not much left recently, since the two are my father's old friends, then you might as well take some calligraphy and painting back, these are also contemporary or modern paintings, and they are not valuable, I hope the two of them will not dislike it." ”
"The old gentleman is really a collector, and since he doesn't hesitate to share his treasures with us......" I sighed.
The middle-aged woman shook her head and smiled bitterly: "My dad is such a person, but this is fine, but in the hands of you professionals, you should be able to take good care of these things, every calligraphy and painting here is a treasure for my father, I think his old man's greatest wish is to pass on things." ”
I suddenly thought of something, because people who like calligraphy and painting, nine times out of ten, they can also know both hands, could it be that Old Man Lu left us any clues before he died? When I thought of this, I hurriedly asked, "Do you have any paintings that the old gentleman painted himself?" This time, the two of us came to visit, maybe two years late, and we hope to find the charm of the old man's family in the works of his widow. ”
The middle-aged woman was stunned when she heard this, and immediately took us to the study on the third floor, and suddenly after we entered, there was a burst of scholarly smell, and this study is very spacious, and there are some exquisite works hanging on the walls, at this time the middle-aged woman introduced us to the meaning of each painting here, and also said that these are her treasures, because the father's hard work is condensed here, when she misses her father, she will go around on the third floor, and everything here she has not touched, in order to create a false impression that her father is still alive.
She did this as much as she was lying to herself, a very ironic way, but I didn't comment on anything, so I looked around, but my left eye saw a terrible picture, on the desk in the study, there was a work by Mr. Lu himself, the painting was refreshing and very cautious, as if it was Lu Chongguang in his prime.
Of course, what surprised me was not the painting itself, but the fact that there was a switch behind the painting, and it seemed that Lu Chongguang's daughter didn't know about this switch, otherwise she wouldn't have brought us here.
Li Qing obviously noticed my abnormality, and he hurriedly put his elbow on me and said, "What? ”
"Can you give me two minutes?" I said.
Li Qing frowned, but soon he nodded at me, and Li Qing said to the woman: "I heard that Mr. Lu is very accomplished in sculpture, so I am curious, is that root carving his work?" ”
The woman obviously didn't know what Li Qing was referring to, but at this time, Li Qing invited again and again, and suddenly the woman had to shut up, just like that, Li Qing successfully took the woman away, and at this time, I was left alone in the study, which was also a lot more convenient for me.
I hurriedly put the scroll away carefully, put it aside, sure enough, behind the scroll, there was a switch similar to an electric light, I was immediately overjoyed, the left eye of the heart was lost, this heart eye instead of the left eye is also a good thing, immediately turned on the switch.
As I pressed the switch, a key hole quickly appeared in the socket, which seemed to require a specific key to open, but for me now, it was all very simple, I immediately used the fingers of my left arm to insert the key hole, and then the slowly growing branches on my fingers were like a part of my body, and began to explore the movement inside the key hole.
I was very careful, little by little, and then slowly I felt the mechanism in the keyhole, I immediately made a decision, twisted my fingers, only to hear a crisp sound, and the lock was opened by me.
At the same time, under the keyhole, suddenly a large wall slowly pushed inside, and instead there was a small space similar to a safe, which was stacked with a lot of documents, among which there was a gold medal pressed on top of a dragon, I picked up the gold medal, and then took the document over to look at it for a while, only to find out that this document was given by Lu Chongguang to a person named Lu Chengqing, and this document is more similar to a letter, I feel that maybe this is our opportunity, Hurriedly hid the documents on his body, and took the gold medal away by the way, and when I lost it, these things would naturally be returned to Li Chongguang's daughter.
I quickly arranged everything, and blocked the keyhole in the original picture scroll, and then I went downstairs, and found that Li Qing and the woman were chatting happily, and I didn't expect that Li Qing would even scatter a flirting master, and in just a few minutes, it seemed that he was very familiar with the other party.
The woman was also very friendly, saying that she invited us to finish the meal, of course we didn't agree, just said that there were still things to handle, and the matter of calligraphy and painting, when we left Jingzhou, we would come back to get it.
The woman said yes, she doesn't work anyway, she just works as a professional writer at home and sends some articles to newspapers and other places.
I found a breakthrough, and I said, "Does Miss Lu know about Lu Chengqing?" ”
The woman shuddered, bit her lip and said, "How do you know this name?!" ”
I smiled and said that the elders in our family are very good with Mr. Lu, and we will naturally know some things.
The woman believed in us, and then told the story about Lu Chengqing, it turned out that this Lu Chengqing was Lu Chongguang's eldest brother, and now he is working in a state secret place, and rarely comes back, but when Mr. Lu died, he came back once and brought a lot of gifts, the woman said that she remembered very well, and the outer packaging of those gifts had a few big words written on it, that is: internal special offering.
What cigarettes, what kind of tea, all like this, I also guessed at once that this must have something to do with the Dragon Group, I'm afraid that Lu Chongguang, who Zhuang Wushu said before, has relatives working in the Dragon Group, and this relative should introduce Lu Chongguang's eldest brother.
Since we have determined the general situation of the matter, we have found an excuse to leave, after all, staying here for a long time is not a way, when leaving, Li Qing said with concern: "You have a clue?" ”
"Pretty much, but for now we're going to follow the address on the file." I said.
I took out the document, and the address was written somewhere in Jinan, and I heard that the Dragon Group was based in the northeast, so maybe Jinan was our breakthrough.
So I told Li Qing this clue, Li Qing also felt that we had to try, so we didn't have any rest that day, and we didn't even eat, and immediately transferred to Jinan, when we were on the train, we had to spend fifty yuan per person to eat a meal on the car, but seriously, the food on the train is not as good as the snacks at the roadside stalls, it is difficult to eat, and the amount is very small, just enough to satisfy the stomach, I don't know if this is the case with trains on other lines, but the train I am on is indeed like this.
It is worth mentioning that the service staff on the high-speed rail are handsome and handsome, and the women are beautiful and gentle, which makes the journey a lot more eye-catching.
The high-speed train is moving forward unhurriedly, and I am looking at the scenery outside the window in a daze, after all, no one knows what we will encounter on this road, but this is a hope for me, the hope that Xue Meiniang can return to me, and I am willing to do everything.
