Lao Jiang parked the car on the side of the road, frowned with a serious expression that he had never seen before, and stared at the poker face tightly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "How long are you going to hide it from me?" Ah Shen? ”

Poker smiled silently, the corners of his mouth outlining a stiff arc. In the end, it was still recognized by Lao Jiang. "I didn't want to hide it from you."

"So, you concluded early on that I was Ah Shen?"

Lao Jiang looked at Ah Shen carefully in pain and said, "Of course not. There is a person who looks exactly like you, of course I am the same as Yu Yue......"

At the mention of Yu Yue, the expression on the poker face changed for a moment, and he seemed to be a little lost.

"Don't worry too much about it, after all, he's too much like you. If it weren't for the fact that I knew you so well, I wouldn't have recognized you. Lao Jiang smiled innocently again, "Of course, it's also because you want me to know." ”

Lao Jiang said the intention of the poker face, and said with a smile, "Ah Shen has his own style and habits of speaking and doing things, and it is too difficult to hide familiar people." You hid it from Yu Yue because you didn't want to implicate her. But you don't need it for me. You know you're going to be able to hide it from me, and more importantly, you need my help. ”

Lao Jiang analyzed the head of the road, listened quietly with a poker face, and added, "Because I have changed too much, I don't have the energy to explain too much to Yu Yue." And you won't ask. ”

"Good boy, just block me with a word." Lao Jiang Gang wanted to ask Ah Shen's experience, and spread his hands, "Forget it, you also know that I am not a talkative person, since you don't want to say it now, I won't ask, fortunately, you are by my side, there will be no difference." ”

"You sent those people?" On the same day, I returned to Hangzhou from Henan, and after getting off the car, I found that I was being followed. It took a long time to get rid of those people.

Lao Jiang smiled apologetically, "Since the accident of your archaeological team, I have sent people to investigate, and I have also found some clues in the past few months. It wasn't until you showed up that I came to the conclusion that there must be a big problem here, and the crux of the problem lies with you. I have sent people to follow you, firstly to protect you, and secondly to investigate secretly. ”

"Hmm." Shen nodded. "Let's drive."

Old Jiang started the car with satisfaction, "Can you show me that jade plate?" ”

"I've seen your merman first. What's going on at sea? Ah Shen asked.

"When I first arrived in Henan, I received a report from my subordinates that two people had gone to sea, and I asked my subordinates to look for them, but in the end they didn't find them."

"Why can't you go to sea?"

"According to the current understanding, there will be a period of time when there will be a very strong magnetic field on the surface of the East China Sea, making it impossible for nearby ships to navigate.

For the safety of the fishermen, my father sent someone to spread the news that the sea would be closed from October 28 onwards. However, in recent years, there have been intermittent people going to sea. ”

"Are the fishermen out to sea?"

"No, one of them is a reporter, and he is still Yu Yue's boss; The other has not yet been identified. Lao Jiang parked his car in an alley, "This is it." ”

"You can't help it?" Poker Face got out of the car and continued to ask.

"Strange to say, that person claimed to be Lao Zheng from the fishing village, but I sent someone to check, Lao Zheng has been ill since his son disappeared at sea, and died not long after. This person is not from the fishing village. Lao Jiang took out a white and yellow key from his pocket, pinched the round key end, and inserted the long key into the lock hole, the lock was also milky white, revealing a little dark yellow, looking very old.

"What kind of lock is this?" Poker Face asked when he saw the strange look of the lock.

"I don't know, it's something my grandmother left behind, she gave this lock as the only dowry to my mother, and my mother gave it to me after giving birth to me. Back then, my house was robbed, and the valuable things were stolen almost the same, and this lock is still kept, and we don't know what it is for, just an ordinary lock. Until now, I use it to lock the door of the old house. ”

The poker face took a closer look, this lock has been a long time, but the whole lock surface is smooth and smooth, and there is no trace of artificial carving, but it seems to be a natural formation. "How much do you think this lock is worth?"

"You're concerned about that." Lao Jiang knew from the day he knew Poker Face that Poker Face has always been a person who only cares about the value of a thing, and does not pay attention to its price. The poker-faced question made Lao Jiang unable to answer for a moment.

"Since it's a dowry, it's definitely a very expensive thing." Poker Face said nonchalantly. "I've never seen this thing." The poker face approached casually, and Lao Jiang grabbed his collar, "Put away your curiosity, you helped me solve the merman's matter, and I will give you this lock if you want it." Lao Jiang dragged his poker face into the old mansion.

This is an old courtyard like a courtyard, the entrance is a huge patio, and the main hall is facing the door, from the outside, the main hall is dimly lit, and the doors of the left and right wings are tightly closed. Because it was almost winter, there was a cold smell of wood in the whole old house.

"You're here for the first time, aren't you?" Lao Jiang asked, two dimples appearing with a smile on his fleshy face.

Poker face sighed, "This house is built in imitation of the Beijing courtyard, the main structure is made of ginkgo wood, and the furniture is mostly mahogany and nanmu. The décor is exquisite and elegant. Just look at the carving of the eaves of the front hall, and you can know that it is carved by a craftsman who is one in a thousand......"

"You're the one who talks the most when you analyze these things."

"But the carving is really peculiar. Look at the man in the middle, what is he holding in his hand? "The poker face was attracted by the carving of the main hall, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.

"Huh? Isn't he holding a stick? Lao Jiang squinted his eyes and looked up at the carving in the backlight. It's so small, it's hard to see at all. "That carving, because of the wind and rain, has long been corroded, let alone such a small carving.

Poker face walked to the main hall, looked up, only to find that the statue on the eaves was faintly recognizable, the statue, clearly engraved with five people, counted from the left, the second is a woman, the others are men. The person in the middle that Poker Face saw just now was facing the second woman with something in his hand.

"Is there a ladder?" Poker Face didn't look away, stared straight at the carving, and asked.

"Yes!" After speaking, Lao Jiang slipped into the backyard, and after a long time, he brought a ladder. "Obediently, although my ancestral house is an ancient house, it is not yet a cultural relic. If Dr. Lao Shen can come to investigate and study in person, when this house is sold in the future, the price will increase a lot. ”

Poker Face slowly climbed the ladder and stopped at the eaves, the carving beside him, and he looked carefully at it in turn. The faces of the other characters have long been eroded by the wind and rain, but the person in the middle, his hideous face can almost be seen on his face, as if he is extremely angry. He held up the thing in his hand...... Wait a minute. Poker Face focuses his gaze on what he has in his hand, which resembles a stick, but is thinner than a stick, with arrows on top. If it's a spear, it feels too slender. "Cell phone." The poker face opens its hand downward.

Lao Jiang took out his pocket and handed him the mobile phone, "I said brother, you really want to study, you are welcome to come to my house at any time." But now, let's take a look at that. ......" Lao Jiang squeezed his eyebrows and handed the phone to Poker Face.

After taking a few photos from different angles, he threw his phone to Lao Jiang, "Send the photos to my mailbox." ”

"Hey, my grandfather, this phone is valuable now. Don't litter. Lao Jiang hurriedly caught the mobile phone, saw that the poker face was coming down from the ladder, and hurriedly held the ladder again. You're thinner than before, how do you feel like a skeleton? Lao Jiang wanted to touch the arm under the wide coat of the poker face, but the poker face avoided Lao Jiang's hand, "Where is it?" Lead the way. ”

Lao Jiang obediently led the way in front, he passed through the main hall and walked into the backyard, only to see that behind the main hall was also a courtyard structure, and there were wings with closed doors in front and on the left and right. "Go from here." Lao Jiang opened the first door on the right-hand side, only to see that there was nothing in the room, except for a black wooden door in the opposite corner. Lao Jiang walked to the wooden door and took out a copper key from his pocket. This lock is just an ordinary lock, nothing special. Poker Face watched Lao Jiang open the door.

"Originally, there was another road leading to the ancestral hall, but in recent years, the government's urban planning has also planned the road. My father sent someone to knock down the back wall of this wing room, seal the gate of the ancestral hall in the Gobi, and open a stone door on the side wall of the ancestral hall. Lao Jiang pushed open the stone door, "Let's go in." ”

Poker's face frowned tightly, and he entered the ancestral hall with a cat's waist. It was pitch black in the ancestral hall, and nothing could be seen. Poker Face only sensed a gust of wind on his cheeks, "Get down!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I could only hear the old Jiang beside me screaming.

"Lao Jiang!" As soon as Poker Face stretched out his hand, he pulled the old Jiang beside him out of the ancestral hall. The stone door slammed shut.

Lao Jiang touched his cheek, which was bleeding. "This ...... Who's in the ancestral hall? Lao Jiang looked at the lock outside the door. Shook his head vigorously, "No, I am the only one who has the key to this lock, and only I can enter this ancient mansion." ”

The poker face walked outside without saying a word.

"Where are you going?" Lao Jiang was frightened, and he was about to leave without a sound on his poker face, but Lao Jiang hurriedly caught up, "Brother, at this time, what's the matter, you want to leave?" ”

Poker looked at Lao Jiang quietly, "You go to the hospital first, and I'll take care of the rest." ”

The poker face had an unusual expression, his lips were closed, and his eyes were full of determination.

Lao Jiang's face suddenly turned pale, and his lips trembled, "No...... No way...... What do you mean, I don't think you mean? The corpse of that mermaid, the corpse has changed? ”
