468 - The Night Watch
Seeing that he had already realized that something was wrong, I smiled and asked, "Second Master, since you have seen that our purpose is not pure, why did you let us in?" ”
"If I don't let you in, will you leave?"
Second Master Jia smiled slightly, and threw Bai Zefan to me again with a flick of his hand. lit a cigarette and replied with a smile: "It's not easy for someone to use Bai Ze's fan, even if I turn you away, I'm afraid that if you fan down, my whole store will fly, where can I stop it?" Let's talk bluntly, who are you? ”
"Haha, I'm just a hurtful person in Kaiwen Play Store, otherwise who else could it be?" Jia Erye said while smoking a cigarette.
I smiled, pursed my lips and replied, "Second master, aren't we going to open the skylight and say something bright?" It's hard to say that if you hide it......"
As soon as I finished speaking, Bai Long was already beside him, staring at Jia Erye and smiling: "Jia Sicong, number 85722." Codenamed 'Dog King', you're the leading night watchman of the 80s......"
Although Bai Long's words were relaxed, as soon as these words came out, Jia Erye instantly changed color. He slammed the table and stood up......
"You ...... Who the hell are you......"
Jia Erye's reaction after listening to Bai Long's words is inevitable, this is related to a high-level secret in China that I have never even heard of, if it weren't for listening to Chen Guosheng tonight, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known this secret for the rest of my life.
This matter, even if Jian Duanjie said. I'm afraid it has to start from the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it is related to the business that this Second Master Jia is engaged in - cultural relics.
In 1949, in view of the rampant loss and theft of cultural relics in old China, the Cultural Relics Bureau was established at the end of the year and became one of the 'one hall and six bureaus' under the Ministry of Culture.
At the beginning of its establishment. The Cultural Relics Bureau has issued a large number of decrees to protect cultural relics, but unfortunately in that turbulent era, almost no big effect, before Chen Guosheng said this, he specially accentuated the tone, saying that especially in the sixties and seventies, when the Wen (harmonious) revolution was turbulent, all parts of the country set off a wave of 'breaking the four olds' grave-digging frenzy, many Red Wei soldiers openly dug tombs and robbed tombs to make a windfall, Dingling was looted, Confucius's tomb was bombed, Yue Fei's tomb was planed, the main hall of Yandi Mausoleum was burned, and Cangjie Cemetery was also razed to the ground, resulting in the loss and damage of countless precious antiquities, it is still known as the most unbearable dark period in the history of Chinese culture.
At that time, the Cultural Relics Bureau was in the midst of the torrent, in fact, it almost existed in name only, and to put it bluntly, it could not play any due role at all. In the decade after the end of the Wen Revolution, the imagination of excavating ancient tombs and reselling cultural relics continued to be banned, and it was not until 1983 that the situation was gradually brought under control.
In July 1983, the Investigation Department, the Security Bureau, the United Front Work Department, and some departments of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission were formally merged, and the Ministry of National Security was established.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Ministry of State Security, the first major move was to carry out comprehensive cooperation with the then Cultural Relics Bureau, set up an inspection team (the predecessor of the Supervision Department of the Cultural Relics Bureau), and began to recruit elites in the cultural relics industry across the country to officially declare war on the endless stream of tomb robbers......
And in late 1985, the Department of State Security and the antiquities community suddenly made a startling move when they collaborated on a secret project, the Night Watch.
The so-called 'night watchman', to put it bluntly, is a project plan, which is to combine the training methods of the Ministry of State Security to train domestic agents with the special nature of the Cultural Relics Bureau, so as to form a team of special agents with strong combat effectiveness, and a huge amount of information, as well as professional skills in the cultural relics industry.
They specialize in special tasks related to the protection of ancient tomb cultural relics, the recovery of missing cultural relics, and the arrest of tomb robbers, in short, they are a top team of agents in the cultural relics industry, whether it is status, the nature of the work, confidentiality, etc., they are equivalent to the 749 bureaus in the exorcism world, but the orientation is different, the former specializes in cultural relics, tomb robbery; The latter is dedicated to paranormal and non-scientific events, but the status is almost equal......
According to the information provided to us by 749, this 'Wonderful Hand Jia Second Master' Jia Sicong was the top agent in the entire organization in the early days of the establishment of the 'Night Watch'.
Who would have imagined that after retiring, such a master would return to his hometown in seclusion and open a cultural toy store.
Seeing that we had already noticed his identity, Jia Erye smiled slightly, and suddenly asked, "Could it be that you are from 749 or 507?" Except for the high-level of the Ministry of State Security, there are not many departments that have the right to transfer the original member information at will, but people from the Ministry of State Security will not come to me for no reason to chat with an outdated old guy, and you don't look like a night watchman, so you might as well tell the truth......
"Second Master Jia, you are indeed a smart person, then I will get straight to the point......"
After smiling at him, I got straight to the point: "About five years ago, a coal mine in the Chen family suddenly collapsed, killing more than a dozen people......
"Don't say it, I understand......" with a macro number.
Second Master Jia sighed, nodded without waiting for me to finish, and said categorically: "At that time, I was also one of the entourages, because I was old friends with Chen Tianqi and his wife, and they were also one of the few people who knew my true identity...... You guys...... I guess it's for the well, right? ”
"That's right, Second Master, so we came to you, I hope you can tell us the original information you found at that time, we don't have much time......"
As I spoke, I took out Xiaoyu from my pocket and threw it to Second Master Jia.
Jia Erye took the jade plate with one hand, only glanced at it, and immediately frowned.
"It turns out that you are from Tianzhu Mansion, no wonder you know so many ......"
"The second master is really well-informed......"
"You don't have to flatter me, I've been a night watchman for so many years, although the cultural relics world and the exorcism world belong to two different fields, but they still have a lot of overlap with each other, before I retreat, the 749 Bureau will come to me for help analyze any tricky supernatural events related to antiquities, how could I not know about the existence of Tianzhu Mansion?"
"Would you like to do us a favor?"
As soon as I finished asking, Second Master Jia shook his head firmly.
"I don't want to, there are some things that can't be said, and if you say it, you'll die."
"Listening to what you say, obviously you already knew about Chen Tianqi's conspiracy, right?" I smiled coldly, and then swept towards Jia Erye's face, his face was already even more ugly......
"That's right, I know, I know all the plots of Chen Tianqi, but I still can't tell you anything, that bastard has a connection with the Witch Ghost Sect, if I say more, my family may be in danger......"
"It turns out that you are taking this into account, but even if you don't say it, that crazy Chen Tianqi won't kill you? He even killed his careful daughter-in-law tonight, who else he didn't dare to kill? ”
"What did you say?"
As soon as I spoke, Second Master Jia suddenly gasped and exclaimed, "How is this possible? ”
At this time, I heard Li Yi snort coldly next to him and said: "Of course it is possible, he not only killed his wife, but also blamed us, and now the police in the whole city may be looking for us outside......
"No, that's impossible, Chen Tianqi promised me that as long as I help him find the weakness of that monster and the secret behind it, he, he won't hurt Shuqing...... That's impossible...... It couldn't be ......."
"Do you know Chen Tianqi's wife?" I asked.
Second Master Jia's pale face was already trembling with excitement, he bowed his head slightly, and replied: "Of course I recognize, she is my niece, and I am also in this world...... The only loved one ......."
"So, you are unwilling to betray Chen Tianqi for your niece, and the reason why Chen Tianqi didn't kill you is because you are still useful to him?"
Without waiting for Jia Erye to answer, there was a sudden gentle knock on the door in the direction of the door, and then I heard a woman's voice coming from outside-
"Excuse me, is Second Master Jia here?"
