In the cabinet was a statue that was supposed to be made of plaster, tightly bound with strips of black cloth, and when you looked at it like a mummy, a head was exposed. Just looking at my head, I recognized it at a glance, this thing was made according to Yuan Zhen!

What does that mean? The return of the mummy? I asked Qin Yiheng for confirmation, and he nodded at me: "That's right, this is Yuan Zhen, and he has hands." ”

I looked down, and sure enough, I could see a few fingertips in the gap between the black strips of cloth. I wondered even more, we had already seen Yuan Zhen's corpse, and his hands had been cut off. Before, we guessed that Yuan Zhen had some information hidden in his palm, and now he sent a statue as big as a real person, and the co-authoring was to send us clues?

Thinking that I would go to see the palm of the plaster statue, Qin Yiheng persuaded me, saying that it was in vain to see it, the plaster statue had been moved, and both palms had been polished with sandpaper.

I touched it with my hand, and it really, it felt like frosted glass, and there was definitely not a single palm print. Now it's even more strange, this is not here to send clues, why bother to get such a thing?

After discussing it with Qin Yiheng, he also said that he was a little unpredictable, so he could only take out the plaster statue first and look at it before analyzing it. We used scissors to cut off the black cloth strips on the plaster statue one by one, and together we moved the plaster statue out.

The black cloth strip is very oily, and I don't know what I used to soak it in before, and it took a long time to cut it all off, but the plaster statue is very clean, and there is no stain at all. I looked at it twice, and it was quite funny, the plaster looked like naked, vivid.

Qin Yiheng carefully looked at it from head to toe, but didn't find anything, so we turned over the plaster statue and looked at the back.

As soon as I turned it over, I saw that there was a table-like thing on the back of the plaster statue, which was not carved later, but should have been on it when the plaster statue was made. Qin Yiheng stretched out his hand and touched it, probably didn't see anything, and didn't speak for a long time.

The table is not big, about the size of two palms, and the horizontal and vertical lines are not very straight, and it looks crooked. The more I looked at it, the more familiar I felt, and after thinking about it for a while, I suddenly understood, isn't this a chess board! I want to remind Qin Yiheng, I didn't wait to open my mouth and remember again, I found a chess piece at Markham Rong's house before, and now I sent a chessboard to the two of us, is there a connection between this?

I hurriedly told Qin Yiheng about the conclusions I had reached, and he was also a little surprised, so we squatted down and began to study. Although I had seen the chess game at that time, I didn't remember where it was placed at all, and I drew a few times with my hands, and neither of us could see the clue.

Eventually, we all sat back on the couch and smoked. I finished my cigarette and still didn't have a clue. Qin Yiheng said to put it first, and called me to go to the edge of the wardrobe again, pointed to the wardrobe door and said: "There are people on the inside of these two doors who have painted things with ink, and I found the ancestral hall according to the paintings on the wardrobe before." ”

I didn't bother to look at the wardrobe when I opened it just now, and I saw that there was really some mess on the inside of the wardrobe door. The wardrobe was a little far away from the lamp, and I turned to the side to let the light in, and then I saw that it seemed to be a painting.

This painting is really not very good, a bit like a child's stick figure, the brushstrokes are quite clear, the ink is thick, but the content is strange, as if a group of people are dancing in twos and threes. It's too abstract to see what it's doing, but I think it's quite like a square dance by an old lady in the square. In addition, there are no features on the clothing, and I don't know what era the road depicts.

On the other door, too, from composition to brushwork, it is a virtue, but the content is not the same, there is no one in the painting, it means landscape, I estimate that it is a water feature such as a river, and there are a few strokes that clearly outline the flow of water. Other than that, there is nothing.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but turn around and ask Qin Yiheng: "What kind of thing is this?" ”

Qin Yiheng's expression was also unclear, and he said: "If this wardrobe is all changed from a coffin, then these paintings are likely to be the paintings on the inside of the original coffin." The paintings I saw in another closet were completely different from these two, but they were similar in style, probably by the same person, and they depicted a group of people lifting up a spiritual position to send a spirit. It's just strange that in the painting, except for the one who holds the spiritual position, the rest of the people are all carrying weapons, and I don't know what Lu Dao plans to do. ”

"And the most important thing is ......," Qin Yiheng paused, "In the corner of the painting, a similar sequence of numbers was drawn with a lot of sexagenary symbols, which looked quite complicated." I took a picture with my mobile phone at the time, and later I used a compass to calculate it carefully in the hospital, and it turned out to be a more detailed location map. ”

I understood what he said here, and the location map was the address of the ancestral hall. But I still don't understand, although I haven't seen those unearthed ancient coffins with my own eyes, but at least I have seen some on TV or on the Internet, painting in the coffin itself is relatively rare, even if there are paintings, they are all depicting dragons and phoenixes, and this is obviously abstract.

I asked Qin Yiheng, and he couldn't say one, two, three, but said that according to the current point of view, it is very likely that these paintings were painted in an extremely hurry, and the painter had to record some important things, so he had to do this. As to what exactly is to be recorded, we have no way of verifying. The paintings on the doors of these wardrobes should have been a whole, and if we really want to understand them, we must have seen all the wardrobes.

After speaking, Qin Yiheng sat back on the sofa and smoked. I'll pick one up too. Frankly speaking, there was so much information this night that it was really hard to digest for a while. It is estimated that Qin Yiheng was also a little tired, and he didn't open his mouth again for a long time. I closed my eyes and summed it up, and I always felt like I was in the middle of a big mystery, and it was hard to describe, a bit like the feeling you want to roar but you can't open your mouth.

The night passed quickly, after smoking this cigarette, I looked at my watch, it was almost five o'clock in the morning, it was already dark outside, I had been nervous before, I didn't feel anything, and I was a little sleepy at this time. I discussed it with Qin Yiheng and planned to go home and get a good night's sleep. Qin Yiheng also yawned and told me to take a good rest, we have to leave as soon as possible.

Chapter 2 Borrowing

There was no physical work that night, and I still felt too tired to do anything, and when I got home, I fell asleep and woke up in the afternoon. For the next two days, I basically didn't do anything, just slept at home. On the third day, Qin Yiheng called me and said that he had booked a ticket, and I simply packed up and rushed to the airport to meet him.

I guess I've slept a lot these days, and my head has been groggy and I don't have any desire to speak. Qin Yiheng also looked a little solemn, and the two of us basically didn't talk much along the way. I've been a little panicked in my heart, because no matter what house I went to before, I was driven by profit, and there was no sense of mission that I had to go, but this time it was different, so I always felt that I didn't know the bottom of my heart, and I felt a little nervous about going to the exam room without reviewing.

The place we went to was a first-tier city, which I hadn't been to before. There was also news of a few houses here, but at that time, considering that the cost performance was not high, I didn't come over.

After getting off the plane and finding a hotel, Qin Yiheng first took me to find a car rental company and rented a car, and then bought a navigator in the electronic city, and then drove me around the city to follow the navigation.

It took us most of the day to find the right place. It was really said by Qin Yiheng, and it was really a big real estate project. The two of us consulted in the sales office, and the whole property covers a large area, and the price is really not cheap. Judging from the planning map, there are villas and high-rise buildings inside, and the periphery is a circle of commercial belts, which is a comprehensive large-scale real estate, but now the first phase has not been completed, and it can only be seen from the map a rough idea, what is it like to build, I can't say.

The two of us listened to the sales lady's nagging for a long time, and then drove around the area of the first phase that was about to be completed. Qin Yiheng has been frowning, I can't see anything anyway, but I'm happy to be idle.

On the way back to the hotel, I asked Qin Yiheng if he had seen anything, because he heard from the sales lady that the main area of this real estate was originally built, and only a small part of it was demolished by the old house, which did not seem to have anything to do with the murderous house, and we inquired around, and I didn't hear that the real estate dug up any antiques when the foundation was laid.
