Chapter 0058 - Who Stole the Scepter
The next day, Guiguzi actually called me:
"Teacher Pi, I heard that several things bought back by the Shancheng Museum in Hong Kong have been stolen, what's going on?" Guiguzi is really well-informed.
"How did you find out so quickly? I want to ask if your people are the devil?" I asked, half-seriously and half-teasingly.
"Didn't you wronged me, isn't there no silver three hundred taels here, many newspapers have published it, who doesn't know. Guiguzi hurriedly defended.
"Then you keep calling for that play?" I couldn't help but use the word "play".
"You're on time, and you're going to invite Mr. Pi to perform the play. "Guiguzi is welcome. Get straight to the point.
"Where am I the material for acting, you better hire a professional actor. I politely declined.
"How can there be a more professional actor than Mr. Pi, last time, it was all thanks to Mr. Pi's wonderful performance. Guiguzi still didn't give up.
"What kind of treasure did you get this time?" although he made up his mind to refuse, he was a little curious.
"I got a batch of high imitations, more refined than the last time, if the operation is good, the income may be higher than last time, and several Shanxi bosses will trade three days later, hoping that Mr. Pi will participate in a share. Guiguzi continued to play his three-inch tongue.
"Aren't you afraid that others will come to find the back account?"
"Don't say it, Mr. Gao's incident last time gave me a lesson, speaking of which is still a good thing done by Mr. Pi, Gao imitation things should never be sold to people around you, it is best to sell them to those who give gifts, such as the two Hebei bosses last time. "It sounds like Guiguzi didn't hold a grudge against me for my last gaffe, but instead complimented me for some reason, this is Guiguzi's scheming.
"Why?" I don't understand.
"You think, most of these things are bought for officials, there are a few officials who really understand antiques, and it is inconvenient to take them for identification, usually find some people who seem to understand or not to palm, even if there are real experts to identify, it is not good to say it in person, one is afraid of sweeping the face of the leader, and the other is afraid of ruining other people's good things, even if you know that there is a problem, you are dumb to eat coptis, and you can't say it if you have suffering. "Guiguzi said so much in one breath, and the two of them were like the last time, which was nothing more than cheering me up.
"But I really can't come. "I tried to refuse.
"Otherwise, if you succeed this time, you'll get two percent. "Guiguzi has stepped up mobilization.
"I appreciate your kindness, this time is really too busy, and I will soon participate in the International Symposium on Bashu Culture, I want to make a speech at the conference, and I will talk about it later. Although Wanyan rejected Guiguzi, his heart was a little shaken, you must know that I have been doing this for a few years. But my parents' long-term teaching and my experience in the valley reminded me that sometimes people still have to properly control their **, and the so-called walking at night for a long time will break into ghosts.
Guiguzi's phone call also indirectly proved that he had nothing to do with this theft, you think, Guiguzi had been in contact with the recovery of these three cultural relics, and at the stage when the public security organs were closely investigating, he was afraid to avoid them, how could he be stupid enough to call me who knew the situation and remind me to pay attention to him.
Is it Mr. Gao's person? Mr. Gao was very interested in these things, and felt that he was not a simple person, and he seemed to have some underworld background. But if it was Mr. Gao's person who committed the crime, why not steal other precious cultural relics, and only attack these three things, which is unreasonable, and Mr. Gao is still a legitimate businessman on the surface, so he will not do this kind of too dangerous business.
Guiguzi has been expelled and Mr. Gao has been excluded, so who is it? Judging from the results of only attacking these three things, these three things are so important to the thieves that they turn a blind eye to other precious cultural relics in the museum, and it is obvious that what is valued is not the economic value of these three cultural relics, but their other functions, and I am the one who knows and needs them best.
By the way, could it be him? A figure suddenly flashed in my mind, but I was immediately denied by myself.
He is an ancient person, if he escapes from the valley and comes to the modern society, it is difficult to survive, how can he have the heart and ability to steal cultural relics, and quietly succeed smoothly, I have not heard of such a thing as incense and drugs in the valley, is there still secrets and stunts in the valley that I have not learned.
The biggest suspicion is naturally the two beggars wearing masks and the other two people who pay special attention to the scepter, but it is incomprehensible that if those two beggars came for theft and disguised themselves in various ways, why did they wear masks? And when I followed them, they did not go far, and always kept a distance from me, what did it mean? The other two followed me without disguise, and left in a hurry when I noticed them.
After thinking about it for a long time, the feeling of itching and headache will come, so quickly close your eyes and meditate, and resist with exercise, although it cannot be completely controlled, it can be slightly relieved.
Without Tang Wanli by her side, life is back to chaos.
I decided to go to the Shancheng Museum to participate in the international academic symposium as a delegate and listen to the opinions of experts, which should be of some benefit to me, a pure amateur lover of Pakistani history, among which the speeches of Professor Guan of Chongqing Normal University and Professor Li of Western Union University were quite enlightening to me.
Mr. Zou also made a speech at the conference, especially mentioning that his views were inspired by Mr. Pi Zhaoyin of Western Union University.
However, the academic conference was inevitably affected by the theft, and the museum and special exhibition hall were heavily guarded, full of police and security guards, which made the part of the artifact observation shrouded in a tense atmosphere, and the "handover" of the cultural relics was also temporarily canceled. Of course, without these heavy weapons, the delegates' interest in observing the real thing is also very weak.
During the meal, Mr. Zou quietly pulled me aside:
"Have the police looked for you?" Mr. Zou looked a little unnatural.
"I've looked for it, what's wrong?" I wondered about Mr. Zou's expression.
"They came to the museum again and talked to me for a long time. Mr. Zou's expression was still uncomfortable.
"What did you talk about, about me?" I snapped.
"Exactly, I asked you in detail about your living conditions and social relations. Mr. Zou took out two cigarettes and handed one to me. I don't usually see him smoking, and it seems that he is more nervous than me, so I took out a lighter and lit it for him and myself.
"What does this have to do with the theft?" I immediately understood ......what they meant.
"I think so too, I just think these policemen are really ridiculous, how can you be a university teacher...... And you even called me to remind me, don't they understand such a simple truth?"
"Let them go, love what. "I didn't defend myself.
"But I'm still a little weird, how did you think to call me on this call?" I knew he was going to ask that question sooner or later. So I retold what I had described to the police, still hiding the beggar hiding from me and wearing a mask.
"I'm sorry for the trouble. Mr. Zou apologized. He added: "Hey, the police are ...... now Is it any wonder that there are so many unjust, false and wrongful convictions?"
"It's okay, the one who clears himself will clear himself. I comforted him.
