I simply continued to think about it, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was the possibility of the previous one, that is, Xia Dongyi and the Yin family were in a gang long before the cipher fell into my hands.

Now I finally understand why two big buyers went crazy and went around buying Xia Dongyi's authentic works at all costs, trying to crack the secrets of his paintings, but didn't go to him himself.

It's not that they don't want to find it, it's that they can't.

Because Xia Dongyi is under the protection of the Yin family, no one can get close, this is the only explanation!

I couldn't understand why Xia Dongyi tried his best to put such an important cipher cylinder in my hands, but now I know that he just colluded with the Yin family to use me as bait.

That's thoughtful!

I thought about it, remembering the earlier appearance of the cipher cylinder in the whole thing, and then thinking about it by putting the pieces together.

In the past, Su Mosen, Uncle Xiu and Uncle Chen conducted a "parasitic" experiment in the underground tomb of Chenjiawu, and the most important procedure in that experiment was to transplant the soul of the "Leixia Man" who had been hypnotized by them into someone else's body, that is, the puzzling process in the "Hand of God" case at that time, that is, the most critical part was in the cipher cylinder.

At that time, there were opposing voices in their team, feeling that the situation might get out of control if it continued to develop, and they objected to it later, so they simply stole the code cylinder and handed it to Xia Dongyi to hide, Xia Dongyi hid incognito in Huaqiao Town, and then Uncle Xiu looked for it, but because he didn't know Xia Dongyi's face, he stayed there for many years, and while getting married and having children, he definitely didn't give up looking for it.

Then one year there was a plague in the village, and he couldn't stand it, so he tried to inform the woman who looked like me and suspected my mother, and she pretended to be a Miao person and mixed in with a Miao team that sold medicine to help treat the plague in Huaqiao Town.

Judging from the point in time, it is likely that the woman who is suspected to be my mother accidentally saw Xia Dongyi, recognized him, and told Uncle Xiu.

They all escaped from the Hall of Eternal Life, it is absolutely possible.

Then that night, Uncle Xiu went to find Xia Dongyi, the two had a violent dispute, which evolved into a fight, Xia Dongyi killed Uncle Xiu by mistake, moved the body and buried it, and not long after, he left Huaqiao Town with his daughter and went to Qianzhou City.

Some of this, Xia Xiaoyu told me very clearly on the phone before, Uncle Xiu's loyalty to Su Mosen and his obsession with the experiment led to the tragedy.

We went to Huaqiao Town that time, and specially asked Xia Dongyi's wife Zhou Hong if Xia Dongyi's memory was a problem, and replied that there was no problem.

Therefore, I can almost conclude that Xia Dongyi's memory is really fine, and the reason why some people later said that he had a bad memory was that he pretended.

In order to make people believe, it was because he had a bad memory, so he had to use the way of painting to record some things that happened in the past, and he must have hidden some important secrets related to the content of the painting into the painting.

This is just a small part of his long plan.

He pretended that he had a bad memory and pretended to be really in place, not only did it last for a long time, but he also paid great attention to the details, after Bai Yafeng found his house, he left and disappeared, we wanted to sneak into his house to search, and found a jar of sun-dried cold tongue grass, which has a memory effect, and this alone makes us even more convinced that his memory is not good.

Who would have thought that it was all him laying out.

In other words, the part of the plan to use paintings to fish was designed and carried out after Xia Dongyi left Huaqiao Town, and it is likely that Uncle Xiu said something when he went to see him that day, which made him feel that the situation was serious, and he had to make this series of huge, crazy, time-consuming, and expensive plans that did not hesitate to risk other people's lives as bait.

And before that, he should have other plans, and he manipulated the life trajectory of Li Xu's mother and daughter in that part of the plan. But during that time, others were in Huaqiao Town, so he was not alone, he had a team, and that team should be Jiangnan Yin's family.

I can't think of anyone else who can think of anything else but them.

I asked Li Xu if he remembered the story of Xia Dongyi's paintings when they were first hyped, saying that after Xia Dongyi was imprisoned, Zhou Changshou took over his belongings, and felt that those paintings were worthless, so he gave them away casually, and two of them were sent to a high-ranking official in the city at that time.

Li Xu nodded: "I've heard about this, but aren't they all rumors in the market?" Zhou Changshou said that all his actions were planned by Xia Dongyi in prison. ”

I sneered and said, "Yes, it was Xia Dongyi who planned it." When Zhou Changshou told us about the whole hype process at the time, he mentioned that there were other people helping inside, but he didn't know who it was, he only said that it was Xia Dongyi's friend, and there were many steps that were done by those people, and it had nothing to do with him. He basically did not participate in anything other than finding well-known art connoisseurs to evaluate paintings and buying pages on newspapers and networks for publicity, and at this time, Xia Dongyi's paintings were already a little famous, and what he did was just icing on the cake. ”

Li Xu was thoughtful, but didn't want to go in.

I sneered again and said, "Look ahead, the real starting point for Xia Dongyi to become famous should be the rumor just now that investors bribed Xia Dongyi by buying paintings, which made Xia Dongyi famous." Among those of us, the first person to discover the problem with Xia Dongyi's painting was Bai Yafeng, who did a lot of research starting from the "Hand of God" case of the lost painting of Lu Yaolin's house, and there are several pages of information about the sale of a piece of land in the extension of Dengbei Road, which is now the land of Sakura Jiayuan. Later, I found some text in the information I checked on behalf of Furong that Sakura Garden is a development project of a subsidiary of Xiangbei Group. ”

Li Xu squinted his eyes and lit a cigarette, waiting for me to continue.

That is to say, Xia Dongyi arranged for the person to send the two paintings to the high-ranking official who was in charge of the land Piwen, and then, the Yin family came forward to bribe the two paintings on the grounds of buying the land, and the official asked his brother to come forward to communicate with the buyer in order to avoid being investigated, and the two sides found a special agency to evaluate the painting and solemnly signed the transfer contract on the occasion of many experts, this behavior was a win-win situation at the time, and for the seller, his money was indeed obtained from selling the painting, and it had nothing to do with bribery, so many pairs of eyes watched. For the buyers, their most fundamental purpose is just to let the world discover Xia Dongyi's paintings and let more and more people know that taking the land for development is just a matter of incident.

After that, Zhou Changshou's actions followed, and in those days, the relevant newspapers and websites were all about Xia Dongyi's paintings and his legendary life, and then the price became higher and higher, and finally the two big snakes were successfully lured out.

One snake is the "top" that has been said for a long time, and the other is the Japanese Fujiwara family. Now, we are facing the core of the problem, and in the course of the previous investigation, we have also slightly come into contact with these two powerful opponents, the Fujiwara family should not be the biggest problem we need to face, our real enemy is "above".

As for Zhou Changshou, he is a chess piece that Xia Dongyi used very well, first of all, he did a good job in the later hype, and secondly, once someone goes back to trace the reason why Xia Dongyi's works are so high, he is the initiator, unless we dig deep in many ways, it is really difficult for ordinary people to connect the Yin family and Xia Dongyi together.

I just connected them.

That's basically how it should be.

Li Xu listened quietly, spit out the smoke ring, shook his head slowly, and said: "No, as far as I know, including the previous Dai Furong also said that the Yin family is divided into two parts, and the bright side represented by Yin Xiangbei will never be involved in the tomb robbery, but according to you, they not only participated in the hype of Xia Dongyi's works, but also participated in today's affairs, unlike the Yin family's style." ”

Truly.

But I don't think my analysis is wrong, I just don't know the reason why the Yin family did this. Today's incident is very easy to explain, the participants are from the tomb robbing faction, and it has nothing to do with Yin Xiangbei, they hate Su Mosen, and it is normal to set up a big situation to find him out. The key is why Yin Xiangbei wants to cooperate with Xia Dongyi in this regard, and it has been since more than ten years ago. In any case, the company that paid bribes in the name of buying paintings at that time and obtained land to build commercial housing was indeed owned by Yin Xiangbei Group, that is to say, no matter what the share was, Yin Xiangbei must have participated in some of the plans.

It was a difficult question, and I couldn't think of an answer for a while, so I fell silent.

As soon as Li Xu threw away a cigarette, he immediately lit another one.

I was stunned and said, "Didn't you come to save me?" How can you bring so many cigarettes? Aren't you afraid that there will be some chemical agent in there that will be blown up by you? ”

She said: "Damn, just because I thought about it, I didn't dare to smoke, I brought a pack of cigarettes, and I still have more than half a pack left after smoking, I haven't been so aggrieved for many years, and you still say me?" Do you have the face to say me? ”

I made a gesture of surrender: "You have it, I owe it to you, go back and buy some good clothes for you to wear." ”

She said, "Phew, add another LV bag." ”

I said, "Yo, I can't see that you're a loser too." ”

The atmosphere eased up, and I didn't bother thinking about all the mess anymore, I had to take care of my life first.

As I spoke, I stood up and looked around, the uneasiness in my heart grew bigger and bigger, too much time had passed, and they hadn't come out yet, and I had to think about whether something had happened inside, and then whether I should take some action.
