Chapter 136: The Man Who Stole the Painting
The master made the painting is expensive, and there are traces of the master's spell on his body, and as long as the seal placed on the painting by the master is touched, I can find the person who stole the painting.
However, if he hadn't touched the seal on the animation, I wouldn't have been able to sense the direction of the drawing.
So I was caught in a double contradiction.
On the one hand, I hope that the man who stole the painting will soon touch the seal;
But on the other hand, I hope that he will never touch the seal of the painting, because I had seen the power of that demon three years ago, and I am not completely sure that I can deal with him.
I searched for the drawing according to the address on the business card, but when I arrived, the man did not return to his residence at all.
I stood guard in front of his door for three days and three nights, and no one returned.
Ask his neighbors, and none of them know where he went.
It's as if he's evaporated from the world, and even if I ask all my connections to investigate, I can't find any trace of him.
I wondered, how can a person achieve complete evaporation?
For this matter, my whole person has changed, if I don't get the slightest news of the painting all day, I will become very anxious, and even drop things, the dog and Bai Xiaoran have been murdered by me several times, and I don't even bother to feed the dog food.
After a week, asking people to do things to no avail, asking ghosts and gods to ask for directions is not lawful, so I can't eat, can't sleep at night, and don't bother to take care of my beard, I have never been so decadent in my life in the past 23 years!
Finally, on the morning of the 7th day.
A guy rushes into the tattoo parlor in a panic!
"Wu Shen! Who is Wu Shen? As soon as the man came in, he looked around.
I looked up and saw that the person who had come in was a woman, about twenty or thirty years old, well-dressed, who looked like a woman from a wealthy family.
But what do you want a lady to do in an old street shop like mine?
"I'm Wu Shen." I stood up and asked listlessly, "Is there anything you're looking for me?" ”
The lady hurriedly walked over, took my hand, and said, "I am Xu Hongyi's wife, my name is Jia Yanwen, did my husband buy a painting from you a few days ago?" ”
As soon as I heard the words "Xu Hongyi", my face immediately sank: "It's not buying, it's stealing!" ”
Jia Yanwen said anxiously: "My husband is so rich, how can he steal it?" ”
As soon as I heard this, I became even more angry: "To steal is to steal!" Won't rich people steal? Your husband stole my master's paintings from my shop! No matter what happens to him, he deserves it! ”
When Jia Yanwen heard this, she was not angry, but asked in surprise: "What do you mean by this?" Do you know what that painting is all about? You know why my husband is so weird, right? Can you save my husband? Neither my children nor I can live without him! ”
"He deserves it!" I cursed through gritted teeth and shook my hands away.
But after taking three steps out, I felt that something was not right, so I quickly turned back and asked, "Where is that painting now?" ”
It's one thing to hate Xu Hongyi, it's another thing to get the painting back!
I have never sensed the direction of the painting, which means that the seal of the painting has not been unlocked;
However, the evil ghost in the painting has a very high cultivation and a very cunning temperament, and if it falls into the hands of ordinary people, it is possible to cast spells on ordinary people through the seal, tempting ordinary people to unlock the seal for themselves!
Now it seems that before the seal is lifted, I have the whereabouts of Xu Hongyi and the painting first-everything is still in time.
"In, in my old house." Jia Yanwen swallowed her saliva and told me.
By this time I had calmed down.
I saw that Jia Yanwen was dusty and full of uneasiness when she came, so I asked her to sit down, make tea for her and calm her nerves, and patiently waited until she calmed down before listening to her tell me stories.
*
It turned out that a week ago, Jia Yanwen was teaching her one-year-old son to read at home, and Xu Hongyi suddenly returned home.
At that time, Jia Yanwen felt that Xu Hongyi's expression was a little wrong, he panicked, and when he saw his wife and children, his eyes dodged away as if he was a thief. He had a painting in his hand, but he was almost hidden in his arms, and if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to tell that he was still holding a painting.
After dodging the eyes of his wife and children, he hurried into the room.
Jia Yanwen felt that her husband's expression was wrong, so she let the child play by herself first, and walked into the room by herself, and found that her husband had dragged out the suitcase and was packing his luggage.
"Hongyi, what are you doing?" Jia Yanwen asked in surprise.
Xu Hongyi glanced up at her, and at this time Jia Yanwen found that he was sweating, and she couldn't help but feel even more strange.
Xu Hongyi looked at her hesitantly for a moment, as if he was making some major decision.
After a long time, Xu Hongyi asked solemnly: "Wenwen, are you willing to give up everything you have in your family now and go somewhere else with me?" ”
"What's wrong?" With her husband's understanding of her husband for many years, Jia Yanwen knew that something big must have happened if he would say something like this: "You shouldn't have owed someone money outside, right?" ”
"It's not...... I'm ......! Xu Hongyi said hesitantly, "Anyway, I have to leave this place now, and I can never come back!" I just want to ask you, would you like to leave with my children and go to a safer place? Yes, it's possible that you'll lose everything! ”
"What the hell is going on?" Jia Yanwen walked over, gently held her husband's hand, and said softly, "Tell me anything, we are a family, no matter what happens, I will share the weal and woe with you!" ”
The gentle and intimate words immediately broke Xu Hongyi's fragile heart defense, and his whole person immediately relaxed, and suddenly hugged Jia Yanwen and cried "wow".
Jia Yanwen has become very gentle and patient since she became a mother, and she silently comforted the crying Xu Hongyi until he stopped crying.
Tired of crying, Xu Hongyi wiped away her tears, knelt in front of Jia Yanwen, and confessed to her: "Wenwen, I'm sorry for you and the child!" I sinned! ”
"What's wrong?" Jia Yanwen asked patiently.
"No, nothing!" Xu Hongyi immediately changed his words in the next second, he took out the painting from the side, held it in the palm of his hand as if he was holding a treasure, and presented it to Jia Yanwen.
When he got the painting, Xu Hongyi immediately became a different person, he was extremely happy, as if sharing his most precious thing with the person he loved the most, and carefully opened the frame.
"Wenwen, look!" At this time, Xu Hongyi was like a child, happily sharing the painting he got with Jia Yanwen.
Xu Hongyi is a person who loves to collect calligraphy and paintings, and whenever he gets a precious painting, he will share the joy with Jia Yanwen, but Jia Yanwen has never seen her husband as happy as he is now.
When she saw the painting, her heart sank inexplicably!
I don't like this painting at all!
It's even a little hostile!
She didn't know why she felt this way about a painting, but the moment she saw the painting turned around, she felt that she saw that it was another woman her husband was empathizing with and not falling in love with, and her hostility was actually vinegar towards a third party!
However, this is just a painting, how can she be jealous of it?
Moreover, isn't it strange that she didn't even see what the painting was, so she had this feeling first?
After wondering, Jia Yanwen began to observe the painting seriously.
The painting is indeed a woman.
This seems to be an antique ink painting, and the painting is a beautiful woman in the ancient pavilion and green grass.
The ancient woman held an oil-paper umbrella and turned her back to the person outside the painting, and seemed to be slowly walking towards the pavilion.
The woman's back alone is graceful, not to mention a man, even the woman is fascinated by her slender back, and I believe from the bottom of my heart that as long as the woman turns her face, it is definitely a posture of alluring the country and the city!
Looking at this woman, just the back made Jia Yanwen feel uneasy.
But Xu Hongyi didn't feel his wife's uneasiness, and even happily analyzed with his wife what the level of this painting was. And Jia Yanwen always felt uneasy in her heart, so she didn't listen to a word of her husband's explanation.
Suddenly, Xu Hongyi's phone rang.
Xu Hongyi, who was still dancing like a child just now, changed his face in a second, he took the phone tremblingly, there was a string of unfamiliar numbers on the phone, Xu Hongyi immediately hung up the phone, and then turned it off!
He turned back into the outlaw he was before, he stood up and said to Jia Yanwen with a complicated expression: "Wenwen! I love you and I love children! However, I made a big mistake, and if this mistake was revealed, I would be ruined and I would never be able to have the same reputation as before! When the time comes, we will lose everything we have now, and even bear the infamy of the world, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for the children. ”
Jia Yanwen asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xu Hongyi wiped his tears and looked at the painting, when he looked at the painting, his eyes became extremely affectionate, and even the tone of his voice became gentle: "I bought this painting with someone else." Wenwen, you don't know how valuable this painting is, it is definitely the most valuable painting I have collected in my life! ”
Jia Yanwen asked puzzledly: "This is a good thing!" Why not be happy? “
"Because the value of this painting is so high! If other art collectors find out, they'll find a way to snatch it! So we have to hide! Don't let anyone else find out we have this painting! Xu Hongyi excitedly grabbed Jia Yanwen's arm: "Wenwen! If you're still willing to follow me, come with me! ”
"Where?"
"It's good to go anywhere, to a safe place! A place where no one found us! ”
