I don't know why I'm so uncomfortable, but now is not the time to think about this mess.

Charlie and I are still walking aimlessly. That's when my phone rang.

I rushed into my pocket and took it out to see that it was Kong Xue calling.

"Sister Xue, what's the matter?"

Kong Xue said, "Go forward." Where are you? ”

"I'm on the street with Charlieba."

Kong Xue said in surprise: "On the street? ”

"yes. Charlie and I are working on something. ”

Kong Xue said, "Where are you?" I'm going to look for you. ”

I thought in my heart that it was a good thing to have Kong Xue with us, but it was much easier for Kong Xue to be a police officer.

"Okay. Sister Snow. We are in... ”

Kong Xue said: "Wait for me to move forward, I'll come right away." ”

I hung up the phone, and Charlie Ba asked, "Is Kong Xue coming over?" ”

"yes. With a police officer by your side, it's easy to get in and out of Beijing! ”

Charlie said, "That's right. . . ”

I muttered, "Heaven and earth, people, gods and ghosts, what's the point? ”

Charlie Ba said: "What perverts think, normal people can't think of." ”

Since he said that heaven, earth, man, gods and ghosts, it must have something to do with the five famous paintings. Otherwise, the fake Wei Qiang would not have said it. ”

Charlie Ba said, "Go ahead, so do you figure out what it means?" ”

"I haven't thought of it yet."

Charlie said slowly: "I guess you can figure it out." If you can't think of it, you really can't think of it. ”

"Rub. You can't use your brain. ”

Charlie Ba smiled: "I can't use my brain, and my IQ can't compare to you." ”

"Rub, forget it, just rest around for a while! As soon as Sister Xue arrives, let's find a way to find those five famous paintings! ”

Charlie said, "It's fine. Fortunately, Beijing is not cold this year. Otherwise, it's enough to just stand on the street. ”

"yes. The weather in March is not too cold on the streets. ”

Charlie and I bought two bottles of drinks at a small supermarket nearby and waited for Kong Xue.

The big brother of this supermarket, like Sun Tielong, especially likes to watch the news. And on the computer, I like to collect some stories of ghosts and gods.

It just so happened that the decryption program was playing on the computer. is talking about some bizarre events in the Forbidden City in Beijing.

"There is a well in the Forbidden City, and when you look down during the day on weekdays, there are some stones, weeds or something at the bottom of the well, but when you look down after 12 o'clock in the evening, as long as there is a moon in the sky, you will see that the bottom of the well is not a stone or a weed, but water, and the reflection on the water is not your face. Of course, there are also scientists who explained: there is a scientific basis for the Forbidden City to see the palace maid, because the palace wall is red, containing ferric tetroxide, and lightning may conduct electrical energy down, if there happens to be a palace maid passing by, then the palace wall is equivalent to the function of the video tape, if there is a lightning coincidence in the future, it may be like a video projection, the shadow of the recorded palace maid will appear. In any case, think about the long and narrow corridors in the Forbidden City, the walls overgrown with wild grass, if you walk there alone at night and suddenly see the palace maids and eunuchs of the previous dynasty walking towards you, even if there is a scientific basis, I will be scared. ”

I didn't know what came to mind, so I asked the big brother in the supermarket, "Big brother, did you say that the computer is playing real or fake?" ”

The big brother of the supermarket saw that I was asking him, and the big brother of the supermarket said slowly: "This thing, who knows if it's true or not." But ah. I was born and raised in Beijing, and when I was a child, I listened to my grandfather tell me stories, and there were many people who died unjustly in old Beijing. So it's all normal to be haunted. ”

Charlie Ba also asked curiously: "Big brother, what are the ghost stories?" Tell me about it. ”

The big brother of the supermarket is probably also a person who loves to chat. At this time, there was not much walking around the supermarket. The supermarket big brother said slowly: "I remember when I was a child, and there were a lot of reports at that time. I really think that in the middle of the night in 83, there was a person who walked through the wall near the Forbidden City Treasure Museum, and suddenly found a group of people with palace lamps in the distance. But when I thought about the party teaching us that there are no ghosts and gods in the world, we must be dazzled, or some natural phenomenon, so I wanted to go forward to take a look, but no matter how much I caught up, I couldn't catch up with the team of people with palace lanterns, but from a distance, it was indeed a palace maid wearing a cheongsam of the Qing Dynasty, and the palace lantern with a flat veil was walking neatly. This frightened him, and he sat down on the ground, not daring to chase after him, until the light was out of sight, and then he moved home step by step from another road. ”

Charlie Ba laughed: "It's really fake." ”

The big brother in the supermarket said, "This matter." Or really. Later, the Forbidden City sent a lot of scientists, Taoist priests, and monks. Didn't even figure out what was going on. At that time, the common people secretly said that the Forbidden City was haunted. ”

"Haunted..."

I screamed in surprise. The big brother of the supermarket was also taken aback.

I hurriedly took out the phone and dialed Kong Xue's mobile phone number.

Kong Xue seemed to be driving. After receiving my call, Kong Xue said anxiously: "Go ahead, there are some traffic jams on the road, but I will be there to you soon." ”

"Sister Xue, don't worry, you can find me a notebook with Internet access first. I'm going to look into something. ”

Kong Xue said slowly: "Go ahead, if you want to check something, tell me the archives department, and they will check it for you." ”

"No. I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for. It's better to have a computer. ”

Kong Xue said slowly: "Okay! Wait a little longer! ”

I hung up. After that, Charlie Ba turned at me and asked, "What's wrong, moving forward?" ”

"No. It's nothing.. It seems like I had something in mind just now. I still want to thank this big brother. ”

The big brother of the supermarket looked at me in confusion and looked me up and down carefully. After watching it for a long time, the supermarket big brother said slowly: "You... You're not that Lee. Lee Forward? ”

I smiled awkwardly, unbelievably recognized the big brother at the supermarket.

Charlie Ba smiled: "See, there are people who know you in the streets and alleys." Big star. ”

"Fuck your uncle."

The big brother in the supermarket looked at me and said slowly, "You've come to Beijing." It must be the investigation of the lost artifacts of the Palace Museum in Beijing. ”

I smiled awkwardly and replied, "No." I'm here to visit Beijing. ”

Actually, I don't really want people to know that I came to Beijing to investigate the case. First, the police have no face. Second, the more people know about the case, the more inconvenient it is.

The big brother at the supermarket looked at me and said, "Isn't it?" ”

"Not really."

The supermarket big brother said slowly: "It's been two weeks since the Palace Museum in Beijing lost cultural relics, and the case has not been solved until now." I guess all those paintings and jade paintings have been taken away by ghosts. ”

Charlie and I smiled awkwardly.

I said to the supermarket big brother, "Big brother." Do you know some of the stories of the Forbidden City? ”

The supermarket big brother said slowly: "I know." Detective Lee, what do you want to ask. ”

I asked slowly, "I want to ask, is the Forbidden City always haunted?" ”

The supermarket big brother laughed: "What a haunting." If it is haunted, will there still be so many tourists visiting in one day? In fact, only one-fifth of the current Forbidden City is open, and there are many places where tourists are not allowed to enter. ”

"Really? I don't know this yet. ”

The supermarket big brother said: "There are a lot of supernatural events in the Forbidden City at night. ”

"What kind of supernatural events?"

The big brother of the supermarket said slowly: "Actually, it's nothing. In addition to seeing the image of those palace maids. The rest have long been cracked, and to put it bluntly, they are spread falsely. ”

"Oh. I guess so, what kind of era is it now. Where are there so many feudal superstitions? ”

The supermarket big brother said slowly: "I'm just bored sitting all day." I like to look at people, ghosts. It's time to play. ”

"Big brother of the supermarket! You're an old Beijinger. Ask me where in Beijing there are the most people. ”

The big brother of the supermarket said slowly: "I want to think about it. Yes! The train station, of course. ”

I was so discouraged when I heard this. Not only Beijing, but also every city has a lot of people at the railway station.

I knew in my heart that it would be useless to ask this big brother.

I lit a cigarette and stood in front of the supermarket smoking without saying a word. And Charlie Ba also chatted with the supermarket big brother for a while.

About thirty minutes later, I stood at the door and saw Kong Xue's car.

Kong Xue opened the car window and shouted at me, "Forward... ”

"Sister Xue, you're here."

Kong Xue said: "It's here." Let's get in the car first! ”

I looked back at Charlieba, who was having a good time chatting with the big brother in the supermarket.

I yelled at Charlie Ba angrily, "Hey! Have you talked enough? ”

Charlie Ba looked at me, and then at Kong Xue's car at the door. Charlie knows we should go.

Charlie Ba said to the supermarket big brother, "Big brother." We're leaving. Come back next time to chat. ”

I secretly said in my heart: This Charlie Ba.

After Charlie and I got in the car, Kong Xue hurriedly drove to a place where he could park.

As soon as I got in the car, I turned on my computer and searched for something.

"It's slow to go online without WIFI."

Charlie said: "It's good to have a wireless network card for you to use. ”

Kong Xue said to me, "Go ahead." What do you think. ”

"I'm looking it up...

Kong Xue and Charlie Ba both watched me quietly.

At this time, I said slowly: "I finally know what heaven, earth, man, gods and ghosts mean. ”

Charlie said, "What do you mean?" ”

"I guess I mean the Temple of Heaven."

Charlie Ba said: "What do you mean? ”

"I looked it up on Baidu. The Temple of Heaven is located in the southeast of the Forbidden City and covers an area of 273 hectares, about four times the size of the Forbidden City. It was built in the eighteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty and was built by Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. It is the place where the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties sacrificed to the emperor and the god of heaven on the winter solstice and prayed for the grain ceremony on the first day of the first month. Isn't it the meaning of heaven to respect the heavens? ”

Kong Xue said slowly: "That place is the altar of the earth. ”

"That's right. Ditan is located in Dingmenwai Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing, covering 37 hectares. Founded in the ninth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, it is the place where the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties sacrificed to the "gods of the emperor's land", and it is also the largest altar of sacrifice in China. ”

Charlie Ba said slowly: "Heaven and earth originally meant this. ”

"I guess it is."

Kong Xue said: "Forward, then you mean that there will be a famous painting in the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth." ”

"I guess it's about the same! Since that fake Wei Qiang wants to play games with the police. There must be a rule of the game. ”

Charlie said, "You're sure that bastard will hide the painting in the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth." ”

"You can see it, too. That fake Wei Qiang didn't bother to steal those five famous paintings at all, and it had been two weeks. If you want to run, you will run a long time ago. But he is still willing to take the risk to meet us, which shows that the fake Wei Qiang's mind is not on those five famous paintings at all. ”

Charlie said slowly: "What you said is right. . . ”

"Heaven and earth have been cracked temporarily. I'm a little bit of an eyebrow. ”

Charlie Ba said: "What do people and gods mean? ”

"Rubbed. When you were in the supermarket just now, didn't you have a good chat with the big brother in the supermarket? ”

Charlie said, "That says something. ”

"You and the supermarket big brother just now kept talking about God, hell. I researched the Internet and found the most ghost stories and supernatural events in the Forbidden City. And it's not impossible to steal the painting and hide it somewhere in the Forbidden City. ”

Charlie said slowly: "What you said is also very reasonable. ”

"It's just the most crowded place in Beijing. I'm not sure yet, I want Wangfujing, Xidan. The Great Wall. There are a lot of tourists. There is no way to know for sure. ”

Kong Xue looked at me and said, "Go ahead." You're wrong. ”

I looked at Kong Xue in surprise and said, "Wrong? How wrong. ”

Kong Xue said: "Actually. Beijing is the most touristy. The most crowded place is a place. ”

"Where is it?"

Kong Xue said: "Of course it's the Forbidden City." ”

"Why?"

Kong Xue said: "Outside the Forbidden City is Tiananmen Square, opposite Tiananmen Square is the Monument to the People's Heroes, every tourist who comes to Beijing will first go to see the Monument to the People's Heroes, and then take a photo at Tiananmen Square." Then you will buy a ticket to visit the Forbidden City. ”

"Sister Snow. I don't understand what you mean. ”

Charlie Ba yelled at me at this time: "You are so stupid. Haven't heard of a dragon? The Monument to the People's Heroes, Tiananmen Square, and the Forbidden City are all in one place. If you're a tourist, you can't just take a picture at Tiananmen Square and leave! Buy a ticket to visit it! ”

"That's right."

Kong Xue said slowly: "Go forward." It seems that this is what you are analyzing. I estimate that five famous paintings have already been accounted for. It should be in the Temple of Heaven, the Temple of Earth, and the Forbidden City. ”

"If my reasoning is correct, the Forbidden City should have two famous paintings. But the Forbidden City is so big, how to investigate it. ”

Kong Xue said slowly: "This is easy to do. ”

"Easy to do."

Kong Xue said to me: "Report to the Yang Bureau, the Yang Bureau has already ordered me." Full support to move forward with your investigative work. As long as it's safe to find those five famous paintings. In fact, you don't even need to think about him. ”

"Oh. . . That's it... ”

Kong Xue said: "This is natural. ”

"Okay, let's first deduce the ideas we reasoned out and report back to Yang Ju!"

Kong Xue nodded, picked up the phone and dialed Yang Ju's mobile phone number.

Kong Xue said, "Hey, Yang Ju. I'll report back to you... ”
