Volume 01 Mystery Chapter 045 White Jade Gourd
Zhang Yuhe asked me to sit down for a while, and he went into the back room and took out a photo album, rummaged through it himself, and handed it to me.
"It's this white jade gourd! It's not big, it should be used for medicinal purposes, and there is a fragrance of pills in it, and it won't disperse for decades! ”
I looked at the white jade gourd carefully, and I felt that it was something that only Taoism would have, so I hurriedly asked Zhang Yuhe if he had reported the case.
"Nope!" Zhang Yuhe shook his head and handed me another note, "Someone left me this note, I think this person is definitely not a mortal, if I insist on tracking down, I am afraid that it will lead to disaster again, so forget it!" ”
I looked at the note, and it was exactly the same as the note left in the evidence room of the Ling County Police Department.
It is also a seal character, the same glyph is beautiful, and the attainments are extraordinary.
There is only one sentence on the note: This is my Taoist treasure, which was stolen by gangsters before, and now I have taken it back, please don't worry!
The payment is also a "Genting Dao person".
"The reason why I think this jade gourd is probably related to the theft and murder case in my house is because ...... The four characters of 'Reincarnation Spirit Talisman' on the jade pendant that caused the destruction of my family are also seal characters, which are very similar to this font. And ......"
Zhang Yuhe looked around, and suddenly mysteriously lowered his voice.
"I'll tell you the truth with Comrade Gao, this jade gourd was also sold to me by the little Taoist priest who killed a thousand knives! It was a few months before he sold me the jade pendant, I met him for the first time, I originally liked the jade pendant, but the jade pendant he asked for was too high, so I only spent a few hundred yuan to buy his white jade gourd. Unexpectedly, a few months later, this little Taoist priest appeared again, I didn't recognize him at first, but I saw that he was wearing a Taoist uniform, so I inevitably looked at him a few more times. As a result, he took the initiative to talk to me, saying that he was willing to sell me the jade pendant at the price I said. This one who killed a thousand knives, I guess when he decided to sell the jade pendant to me, he had already planned to steal the jade pendant from my house again! I remember that I was only willing to pay 3,000 yuan at that time, but he was begging for nothing, and he insisted on making me add an extra 200 yuan! ”
He gritted his teeth with hatred, but I couldn't help but wonder why he didn't tell the police about the clue at the time.
Zhang Yuhe said: "Didn't I say it, at that time, I was afraid that the police would track down my financial resources, and I didn't even dare to mention the matter of the jade pendant, let alone this irrelevant white jade gourd!" ”
I thought about it, I glanced back at Fan Yaoqiang, who was standing quietly beside me, handed the album to Fan Yaoqiang, pointed to the photo of the white jade gourd, and asked him, "Do you recognize this white jade gourd?" ”
Fan Yaoqiang took a closer look, and suddenly reached out to pick up the album, as if he thought of something.
But eventually he shook his head again and handed me the album back.
"Like...... I have a little impression, but I can't remember it for a while! ”
"What about this note, do you remember this font? And also...... Do you remember the name of this Genting Dao person? ”
Fan Yaoqiang's face changed, he took the note and looked at it, obviously showing a hint of panic, and quickly handed the note back to me, as if the note was very hot.
I knew in my heart that this note, or the name "Genting Daoren", made him think of something.
At least subconsciously, he was afraid of the "Genting Dao Man".
But in front of Zhang Yuhe, I naturally won't expose him.
On the contrary, Zhang Yuhe was very strange and asked me: "Comrade Gao, this kid ...... Who is it? Eleven or twelve at most, right? Can he recognize the seal characters, and this jade gourd? ”
I smiled and didn't answer, just handed the note back to Zhang Yuhe, and said: "You are right not to call the police, as far as I know, this Yunding Daoist is a fairy-like figure, his jade pendant, and this white jade gourd, are treasures in the hands of their Taoist family, but in the hands of us worldly mortals, it is a disaster!" ”
"Comrade Gao, you're so right!" Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but nod again and again, "I thought of what you said, so I decided not to call the police!" And...... Comrade Gao, look at these fonts, I also know a little calligraphy, I know that these words are extraordinary, then they are not written by ordinary people! ”
I nodded, and looked back at Fan Yaoqiang, but saw that Fan Yaoqiang looked confused, as if he was still immersed in the shock brought to him by Fang Cai's note of "Yunding Daoist".
I didn't say more, got up and said goodbye to Zhang Yuhe.
Coming out and getting into the car, while driving, I asked Fan Yaoqiang, who was sitting in the passenger seat: "You actually remember the name of Genting Daoren, right?" ”
Fan Yaoqiang did not answer, but turned his face out of the car window.
I don't force him, since the words "Genting Daoren" can touch him, maybe the next trip can have some other gains.
I parked the car at the head of the village where Zhao Shengyuan was, and then walked into the village with Fan Yaoqiang.
In fact, I have been able to determine that Fan Yaoqiang's previous life is unlikely to be Zhao Shengyuan.
The reason is very simple, Fan Yaoqiang has been a Taoist priest for a few years in his last life, but Zhao Shengyuan has no experience.
The reason why I brought Fan Yaoqiang over was to know what kind of connection existed between Fan Yaoqiang and Zhao Shengyuan.
It's a pity that Fan Yaoqiang has no impression of Zhao Shengyuan's hometown and Zhao Shengyuan's younger brother, and the conversation with Zhao Shengyuan's younger brother didn't make Fan Yaoqiang think of anything.
So I could only drive back to Lingxian and take Fan Yaoqiang around the Lingxian urban area.
However, after decades of rapid development, the urban area of Lingxian County has long lost the shadow of 40 years ago, and there is nothing to be found that afternoon, so I can only return to the hotel to rest when it is dark.
The next day, we began to walk slowly along the periphery of Lingxian County, Fan Yaoqiang did not mean to be impatient at all, and looked around carefully while wandering.
Until you walk into a park where a monument to a hero is erected.
It's a building that many cities have, and it's a landmark that will never change for decades.
Fan Yaoqiang walked around the monument a few times, as if he remembered something.
I didn't dare to disturb, just quietly followed him.
Then he suddenly shouted: "I remember, I remember!" ”
"Remember?" I hurriedly asked.
"I remember this monument, I remember...... I've had my picture taken in front of this monument! ”
As he spoke, he looked around, and suddenly walked towards a distant hill to the left of the monument.
He walked in a hurry, almost walking and running.
Forty years have passed, and it is difficult to leave traces of the past in the housing buildings and major roads and small roads in the entire Ling County. However, the monument will not change, and neither will the hill.
So Fan Yaoqiang kept looking at the hill and walked until he came to a small river, and there was a stone arch bridge on the river.
In forty years, everything that can be changed has changed. But this old stone arch bridge, like the gurgling water under the bridge, has endured for many years, as always.
