Chapter 21 Insiders
When I came out of the room, Yun Duruo and I both looked at each other blankly, and we still don't understand why Xiao Lianshan and Gu Anqi were so excited and sad when they mentioned that person, and even Gu Liancheng was speechless.
I know that person is not simple, Han Yu also said that person is extraordinary, but after all, he is only in his twenties, I really can't think of anything special about that person.
The deepest impression he left on me was not actually the majesty that people dare not look up to, but the loneliness and loneliness that was completely incommensurate with his age, and the vicissitudes of that person seemed to have been tempered for a long time, and all that could be seen in his eyes was an almost helpless wait, which was unpredictable.
I'm glad that he's not my friend, but at least he's not my enemy, and I don't think anyone wants to be in trouble with such an enemy.
"Go back first and tell Nangong Yi what you have learned." Yun Duruo adjusted his mood and said to me.
"No, let's go to the Archaeological Research Institute first."
"What are you doing at the Institute of Archaeology?" Yun Duruo asked in surprise.
Xiao Lianshan and Gu Anqi clearly have something to deliberately hide from me, no one can ask what they don't want to say, Xiao Lianshan would rather be suspected of murder and not say a word, but Gu Liancheng knows everything in front of us, since Xiao Lianshan and they don't want me to know, why Gu Liancheng will tell everything.
"You mean...... What your grandfather said may not be credible? Yun Duruo asked in surprise.
"It's not that it's not untrustworthy, I think grandpa didn't say everything, he only said superficial things, and he didn't tell us what was really useful." I replied with a faint smile and a deep breath. "Grandpa came back suddenly, that only shows that my parents have an eyebrow to explore the treasure, it can be seen that my grandfather is very clear about this treasure, it should be my dad, he knows my character too well, I am as stubborn as he is, I can't get an answer and will keep pursuing, so ......"
"So I deliberately asked your grandfather to tell me something unimportant." Yun Duruo suddenly realized.
I nodded, they did this to dispel my concerns and doubts, and at the same time, they also wanted to continue to hide it from me, so they must know more about the origin of the dragon buckle, Yun Duruo agreed with me, we went to the archaeological research institute together, and Yun Duruo showed his certificate to receive us is the director.
He took the lock dragon buckle over and looked at it with a magnifying glass for a long time, his face slowly showed an excited look, he told us that the process of the lock dragon buckle has been lost, this is the first time he has seen such a complete lock dragon buckle, Gu Liancheng is right, the lock dragon buckle is divided into yin and yang two buckles, and it must be combined into one to be a key.
"There are many kinds of lock dragon buckles, but it is the first time I have seen them related to Taoism, this lock dragon buckle should be the craftsmanship of the Central Plains from the style point of view, but the lines on it are in the early Yuan Dynasty or even earlier." The director exchanged the lock dragon buckle for us. "The leading expert in this field is called Ge Xiaobai, who is now retired at home, and Ge Lao is an authority in this area, if you want to know about the situation of this dragon buckle, you can visit him."
According to the address provided to us by the director, Yun Duruo and I went to Ge Xiaobai's house, and as soon as we walked to the door, we saw an old man knocking on the door, shouting Ge Xiaobai's name while knocking.
"Why don't you see anyone come out for a few days......"
It seems that we have come at a different time, Ge Xiaobai should have something to go out, the director told us that Ge Xiaobai has lived alone since the death of his wife, and he is usually invited to participate in archaeological seminars, and I think it will be a few days before he returns.
When I went downstairs, Yun Duruo and I saw the old man who had just knocked on the door, he was sitting on the stone bench downstairs, with a chessboard in front of him, and he was doing nothing to move the chess pieces on it.
I think the one sitting opposite should be Ge Xiaobaicai, these two should be chess friends, no wonder the old man is upset, it turns out that there is no one to play with him.
"Hello, do you know Ge Lao?" I walked over and asked politely.
"It's really weird." The old man looked up at me and said in surprise. "Why have so many people come to Lao Ge recently?"
Listening to the old man's tone, he and Ge Xiaobai have a very good relationship, I sat opposite him and took out a cigarette and sent it over, the old man nodded politely and took it, and after chatting a few words, I knew that the old man and Ge Xiaobai were colleagues of the Institute of Archaeology, and now they are retired at home, and the two will come here to play chess every day.
"Has Ge Lao been out for some meetings these days?" I helped the old man light a cigarette and asked politely.
"Meeting? No, I should have been notified of the meeting. The old man shook his head and said.
Yun Duruo and I glanced at each other, since Ge Xiaobai lived alone, and I heard the old man say that he hadn't seen him for many days, and he hadn't gone to the meeting, so where would he go.
"You just said that a lot of people have come to look for Ge Lao these days?" Yun Duruo sat down beside the old man and asked carefully.
"Before and after adding that you are the third to find him, it is a stomach, from the first person to find him a week ago, Lao Ge is like an evil spirit, every day he locks himself in the house, and he doesn't care about me when he asks him to play chess." The old man took a puff of his cigarette and said a little unhappily.
"Do you remember what the first person who looked for him looked like?" I also lit a cigarette and asked.
The old man told us little by little, he remembered that one afternoon a week ago, he and Ge Xiaobai were sitting here playing chess, and suddenly a tall man came, who was very sloppy and rude, and did not look like he was engaged in archaeological research, and the man came to Ge Xiaobai and said that there was something.
"At that time, Ge Xiaobai was playing chess with me, and asked that person to wait until the game was over, and that person was sitting in this place." The old man pointed to where Yun Duruo was sitting. "The man seemed to be very anxious and irritable, and before we finished playing, he impatiently pulled Lao Ge and said that there was something urgent, and the chess pieces were all messed up by the man."
"What's the urgency of that person looking for Ge Lao?" Yun Duruo asked curiously.
"Lao Ge was in a hurry with the man and drove him away, but the man carefully took out something for Lao Ge to see, who knew that Lao Ge was stunned when he looked at it, and asked the man where the thing came from."
"What is it?" I asked.
"I have been doing archaeology with Lao Ge all my life, I have never seen any rare treasures, and I have not seen Lao Ge so excited, what the man took out in his hand was a piece of soil with a mark on it, but I didn't see what was printed." The old man said this, with a dissatisfied expression on his face. "Lao Ge seemed to be afraid of being seen by me at that time, and he was not a treasure who looked at him rarely, so he didn't argue with the man and pulled him back to the room."
Why does a piece of dirt make Ge Xiaobai so excited? Yun Duruo and I glanced at each other, and the old man said that Ge Xiaobai had never come to play chess since that day, and that person had never come again, and he didn't know what Ge Xiaobai was tossing.
"What does that guy look like?" Yun Duruo's professional personality asked seriously.
"It's a very ordinary look, nothing special, it's just the kind of look that you won't remember at a glance, where can I remember it after so long, even if I'm tall and long, I'm quite strong."
"Did the man say his name was?"
"No, after the man took out the things, Lao Ge hurriedly pulled him back."
I rubbed my eyes, I don't know if it's because of the sun, and it started to get blurry again, and I couldn't see clearly with the old man on the other side, so I continued to ask while rubbing.
"Do you remember any of the man's characteristics?"
"What's wrong with you?" Yun Duruo asked with concern when he saw that I kept rubbing my eyes.
I shook my hand to signal that I was fine, but there seemed to be a real problem with my eyes, it was just blurry before, and it started to hurt a little recently, Yun Duruo saw that my eyes were rubbed red by me, and stood up and said goodbye to the old man worriedly, and pulled me to say that my eyes were a big deal and could not be delayed any longer, and she accompanied me to the hospital for examination first.
Looking at the old man's appearance, it is estimated that he doesn t remember anything, since Ge Xiaobai is not here, he will come back in a few days, seeing that Yun Duruo is so nervous, in order to make her feel relieved, I promised to go to the hospital.
We had just walked a few steps when we were stopped by the old man behind us, who said to us thoughtfully.
"I really can't remember any characteristics of that person, but the man looked very dirty in his clothes, and his clothes were full of oil stains and bone chips, oh yes, he accidentally knocked into the chessboard, and after Lao Ge took the man away, I cleaned up the chess pieces and found that there was meat foam on them."
"......," I was stunned and immediately walked over and asked anxiously. What else is there besides these? ”
"It's nothing, it's just that the man accidentally knocked the chess pieces and fell to the ground, and the chess pieces he picked up were full of greasy things, as if his hands were full of oil."
"Think about it, there's a mole on the man's left eyebrow." I asked anxiously.
The old man thought for a long time, patted his thigh, and nodded in the affirmative.
"That's right! I remembered that the man had a mole on his eyebrow. ”
I took a deep breath and looked at Yun Duruo, when we examined Jin Chengyi's body, we all saw that there was an obvious mole on his eyebrows, the old man's description was very similar to Jin Chengyi, he was a butcher, of course, his body would be covered with oil.
Jin Chengyi is now killed, and he actually came to look for Ge Xiaobai before, and the old man said that he hadn't seen Ge Xiaobai play chess for many days......
Yun Duruo and I almost thought of something, and rushed back to Ge Xiaobai's door quickly, Yun Duruo had already pulled out his pistol, I took a step back and kicked the door open suddenly, and there was a chilling cold air inside.
The air conditioner in the room was turned on to the coldest level, Yun Duruo and I walked into the room cautiously, and then stayed in place dumbfounded, we couldn't tell if the person sitting on the chair was Ge Xiaobai, even if Yun Duruo was holding a gun in her hand, I still saw her hand shake inadvertently, even if she had seen more murder scenes, I believe that she was somewhat uncomfortable with this shocking scene in front of her.
