Chapter 209: The Thousand-Faced Doll
This doll is not pretty, nor is it too big. Wrapped in porcelain, it is very resistant to falls, and the doll's face changes over time.
It's not a sudden change like a change of face, but a little subtle change, and by the time I react, the doll has already changed into another face.
According to the news, the doll was owned by a wealthy man of the time decades ago.
Because there is only one, and no one knows the principle contained in it, it is expensive.
When the rich merchant died, the heirs robbed each other of the family property, and the whereabouts of the thousand-faced doll were unknown.
During this period, there will be news that the thousand-faced doll was suddenly discovered, but unfortunately it is all fake.
The most recent time was it announced by an auction house in the city next door.
Certified by experts, this is definitely the only thousand-faced doll in the world produced by that toy factory.
"Sixty million?"
Jiang Bai frowned when he saw the price of the photograph, "Why can a doll be so expensive?" ”
He wondered, even if it was an antique, it was only a few decades, so why could it be speculated at such a price? Or even someone buys?
"The reserve price is five million, and many people want front dolls."
Ruan Lingyu explains, "The price competition is fierce. ”
Under her introduction, Jiang Bai and Yan Xiyue gradually understood why the thousand-faced doll was so valuable.
No one knows the technology of that toy company, and even if you take the doll apart and do research, you may not be able to make a second one.
Coupled with the bizarre collapse of this company and the mysterious death of the rich man at the time, this thousand-faced doll has a lot of mysterious colors.
After coming and going, this doll is very valuable.
"What does this doll have to do with us?"
Yan Xiyue asked, "The thing you lost earlier can't be this doll, right?" ”
"Partially, yes."
Ruan Lingyu explained, "I don't have the money to buy this kind of thing, let alone go to auction. But I have a relative who photographed this. His greatest hobby is collecting antiques. ”
She explained while looking at Jiang Bai's state.
"You mean, your relatives auctioned this, but the thousand-faced doll was lost at the auction house?"
Jiang Bai basically understood what Ruan Lingyu said.
"Well, so he wants to find the doll."
Ruan Lingyu nodded and said, "The criminal police team has investigated for several days but has not found it, and finally hopes that my relatives can accept compensation." ”
"Wouldn't it be nice to accept compensation?"
Yan Xiyue was a little puzzled, "Since the thing was lost in the auction house, why did you have to find this thing?" ”
"I don't understand, since the criminal police team has already given advice."
Jiang Bai nodded and said, "Why don't you accept compensation?" It stands to reason that in addition to the 60 million, there should be additional compensation, right? ”
"I don't understand what rich people think."
Ruan Lingyu explained, "I don't know why my relative, who doesn't accept it, must find the thousand-faced doll." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Bai already had some guesses in his heart, either Ruan Lingyu had something to hide, or Ruan Lingyu's relatives had hidden something from her.
But in any case, he didn't really want to get involved in it.
"Jiang Bai, just let me owe you a favor, can you help my relatives find a thousand-faced doll?"
In silence, Ruan Lingyu asked Jiang Bai as if pleading, "If you ask for money, my relatives can also come up with a lot." He just wanted to get this thousand-faced doll. ”
"Sister Ruan Lingyu, this matter is too difficult."
Yan Xiyue said, "It's hard for us to help you. ”
In addition to being difficult, Jiang Bai also smelled Yan Xiyue, a hint of "vinegar" in his tone.
"Well, I hope you'll change your mind."
Ruan Lingyu sighed, intending to leave Jiang Bai's tent, "Can you keep this matter a secret for me?" ”
Seeing that the two nodded, she left Jiang Bai's tent.
"I feel that something is wrong with Sister Ruan Lingyu."
After Ruan Lingyu left, Yan Xiyue suddenly said, "This kind of thing should break out on the news, why is there no news except for the sixty million thousand-faced dolls?" ”
"I think it's a little weird, too."
Jiang Bai agreed, "Maybe there is something unspeakable. But with that alone, I probably won't help her. ”
He knew that even the criminal police team couldn't find something, and he went to find it like looking for a needle in a haystack. Even if you promise to help, you can't find it.
Yan Xiyue yawned and returned to her tent.
Jiang Bai breathed a sigh of relief and lay on the simple bed.
Ever since the four of them were in the newspaper, he had always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
It may be that people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong.
Closing his eyes, Jiang Bai dreamed that the thousand-faced porcelain doll was in his hand, and looked at him with a strange smile and panicked.
He has seen countless bloody cases in the mysterious space, and has encountered countless difficulties and dangers.
But the panic and fear in front of him were as breathtaking as a blow that broke through Jiang Bai's psychological defense!
When he opened his eyes, Jiang Bai was covered in sweat.
It's already dawn and the staff outside are cleaning up.
Jiang Bai sat in the tent and couldn't react for a long time.
Could it be that the dream that was so real just now was the impact of seeing the thousand-faced doll? Even if it's just a picture.
It didn't take long for Jiang Bai to pack up his things and the tent was dismantled.
On the way back, he kept frowning, thinking about Ruan Lingyu.
He wanted to figure out what was going on, but his heart was trying to prevent him from wading through the troubled waters.
"Jiang Bai, what's wrong with you?"
Yan Xiyue said and looked at the sluggish Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai was silent for the first time, and after a while, he turned his head and replied, "It's okay, I'm thinking about something." ”
He shook his head violently as he spoke.
"I dreamed about that thing yesterday too."
Yan Xiyue whispered in Jiang Bai's ear, "You were holding that doll in your dream." But the doll turned to look at me! I was terrified. ”
Jiang Bai frowned, could it be that this doll really has some extraordinary influence?
This feeling is very similar to the feeling of being in a mysterious space, maybe this thousand-faced doll can let people enter these mysterious spaces?
Thinking about it this way, he didn't want to care about it even more.
The car drove all the way back and dropped Jiang Bai and his party at the school gate.
"This show is so interesting, I will definitely participate in it next time!"
He Dazhuang said with a smile, he and Du Yiheng seemed to enjoy the game very much.
Back in the dormitory, after they put their luggage away, Jiang Bai searched for news about the thousand-faced doll on the bed.
He will be afraid, he wants to investigate this thing, but he does not want to participate.
Maybe it's the next 100-year-old mysterious space? He didn't want to be tortured anymore.
"Jiang Bai? Will you go to dinner later? ”
The time when they came back happened to be noon, and He Dazhuang and Du Yiheng were also grumbling with hunger.
"Go ahead, I'll rest for a while."
Jiang Bai said, turning sideways and pretending to sleep, but his eyes kept searching for information about the thousand-faced doll.
