Fifty-five

Mei Ruohong was holding a round ball in her hand, the size of an egg. The surface is smooth and delicate, as smooth as fat. This round ball looks like it was made of jade, and there are many hollow carvings on the surface, which are curved and curved, like patterns and symbols, and there are two circular grooves on the surface that are not deep. At first glance, it looks like an antiquity that is very old.

Mei Ruohong Road:

"This is made of Hetian jade, I opened the ebony box, and this thing is tightly embedded in the box!"

As he spoke, he took out two rectangular objects from another coat pocket. Han Da'er took a look, the two pieces of things, black and shiny, two pieces of the same size, each with a circular groove in the middle. The groove is hollowed out around it, and there are many machine expansion gears inside, which bite each other. The outer circle seems to be uneven, but in fact, the outer edges of the two rectangles are concave and convex to complement each other, and the two are combined, which happens to be a square, which seems to be the open ebony square box. The circular groove in the middle is obviously embedded in the ball.

Mei Ruohong held the jade ball road:

"The material of this thing should be Hetian jade ...... from Xinjiang."

As he spoke, he handed the round ball to Han Daring, Han Daring took a closer look and saw that the jade ball had two shallow circular grooves on the surface, but there were two large round holes. Inside the round hole, there is even a layer of jade balls wrapped, and when I dial this layer of jade balls, I found that there are also round holes on this layer of jade balls, and there is also a layer of jade balls inside. Layer by layer, layer by layer, can be moved in at will, and each layer of jade balls is covered with strange patterns of carving.

When Han Da'er saw it, he blurted out without waiting for Mei Ruohong to finish speaking:

"This ...... It's a ghostly ball! ”

Ghost ball is a kind of multi-layer carved handicrafts, generally with the carved material ground into a ball, and then on the surface of a few large holes, and then with an umbrella knife from the large hole to cut and carve, so that the final layer of a layer is a piece of one shape. There are different patterns on each layer, which is very exquisite.

In the Song Dynasty, there was already this process, when it could carve three layers, and in the Qing Dynasty, dozens of layers could be carved out with the development of technology. However, the carving of the ghost ball is made of teeth, bones, horns or wood, and jade is rarely used, because Hetian jade is very hard, the carving is very difficult, and the flexibility is very poor, if the ghost ball is carved, it is very easy to break and damage.

What's more, the Hetian jade ghost ball in front of him has seven layers, and each layer is carved with a lot of curved flowers-like hooked back holes, densely packed, and the craftsmanship is ingenious, which is breathtaking.

In fact, Mei Ruohong also knew that this thing was a ghost ball. Her family is a scholarly disciple, and there are many literati in her ancestors, and her family has a family history. Her father also likes to collect calligraphy, painting, calligraphy, and printed stone and jade, so he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he has also dabbled in it slightly. In the previous case, the walrus ivory-stained horn found in the stomach of the floating corpse was a man-made inlay that only appeared in the late Qing Dynasty, and it was made of bone horns, which was not an antiquity in the real sense at that time, and it was fading by gastric juice, so it is not surprising that it is not recognizable.

Mei Ruohong originally thought that Han Dada'er didn't believe in ghosts and gods since he was a child, and he was very tired of Lao Bagu's things, and he was not interested in these ancient crafts at all.

In fact, Han Da'er's family is rich, and his father also loves to collect antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold, stone and jade. His mother's family used to be in the antique business, and his uncle was also quite familiar with antique jade. The blue half-foot of the antique shop on Yiyi Street was introduced to Han Daring's father by Han Daring's uncle.

Han Dada'er doesn't know anything about antique calligraphy and painting, but he still knows a little about jade and the like, and when he was a child, he had two pieces of Tianhuangshi at home. As the saying goes, one or two Tian Huang two catties, Tian Huang Shi was the favorite of Emperor Qianlong in the former Qing Dynasty, and was known as the "Emperor Stone".

Han Daring was young at that time, and he didn't understand this, he regarded Tian Huangshi as a talc monkey, writing and painting on the ground in the house, and after his father found out, he was distressed, so he took a feather duster and chased Han Daring all over the house, as a result, Han Daring climbed up a multi-treasure pavilion and dragged the entire shelf down, breaking a bottle from the official kiln of the third generation of the Qing Dynasty, and a few pieces of jade carved by Hetian jade. There is also a thirteen-layer ghost ball carved from ivory!

Han Daring's father was so distressed that he almost turned his back on his back, and punished Han Daring to kneel in the courtyard for a night. At that time, Han Da'er was not interested in anything else, but was very curious about the ghost ball that was shattered. Later, he learned that this thing was actually carved in one piece. So as soon as I saw this jade ball layered together, I knew that it was a ghost ball carved in one piece.

Han Daring felt that this ghost ball was hidden in the trap box and was properly stored in the bank safe deposit box by Yin Xiao, which must have a great relationship with the Sanyang Sect. So he picked up the ghost ball, looked at the sunlight, and saw that the ghost ball, through the sunlight, reflected in the shadow on the ground, there were many strange symbols, obviously the strange patterns carved by the ghost ball layer by layer, caused by the sunlight.

And as long as you slightly flick the inner layer of the ghost ball, the light symbol in the shadow on the ground will change, and its shape is very strange.

Han Daring wanted Mei Ruohong to hold the ghost ball and lift it up in the sun, and then took out a pen and a small book from the pocket of his police uniform, trying to trace the patterns and symbols in the shadow.

He just handed the ghost ball to Mei Ruohong, and then he saw that Mei Ruohong's face was a little haggard, obviously in order to untie the ebony box, he spent a lot of time and energy, and he was both sorry and grateful in his heart, and retracted the hand that was handed to Mei Ruohong's ghost ball.

Han Daring paused, and wanted to say two words of thanks, hard work, and the like, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not sincere to say this, but it seemed very perfunctory, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly blurted out a sentence:

"I'm in for a treat!!"

Mei Ruohong didn't expect Han Daring to come up with such a sentence, and looked at him with slightly sideways eyes.

Han Da'er saw that Mei Ruohong's lips were red and his teeth were white, his eyes were slightly tired, although his face was haggard, he had another kind of weakness and daring. I felt in my heart that Mei Ruohong at this time was unspeakably good-looking, and my heart was pounding for a while.

He quickly looked away and looked elsewhere. Mei Ruohong seemed to be puzzled and asked:

"What do you want to treat?"

Han Da'er saw Mei Ruohong's haggard appearance just now, and felt unbearable, and wanted to make some compensation, but he didn't think about it when he said it too quickly, and he didn't know what else to invite. I wanted to say that I would go to a Western restaurant, but I felt that it was not sincere.

He suddenly remembered that he had passed by Quanye Field before, and saw advertising posters posted downstairs, saying that there was a new civilization drama "Robin Hood" staged in Quanye Field, and this civilization play was actually a drama. So he quickly replied:

"I invite you to the play! There is a new civilization drama staged in Quanyechang Tianle Cinema! There is also Tiangong Cinema acting in American movies......"

He thought it wasn't enough, and added:

"There is also the Earth Hall in the Quanye Field, we can try it!" This earth is not the earth we are stepping on, and the earth is talking about bowling at that time.

Tianjin Weiquan Industry Field, opened in the 17th year of the Republic of China, was built at the intersection of Xu Street in the Japanese Concession and Lizhan Street in the French Concession, and was the number one large-scale shopping mall integrating catering, entertainment, leisure and shopping at that time.

The Eight Heavens in the Quanye Field, staged in Tiangong Cinema, are all the latest domestic and foreign movies. The troupe cultivated by Tianle Cinema has also adapted and released many civilized dramas, such as "Robin Hood" and "Journey to the West".

There are also Tianwaitian Amusement Park, Tianlu Tea House, Billiards Hall and Earth Hall, etc., even if you play in it for a day, you don't feel tired! Apart from this, Han Daring couldn't think of anything else, so he promised to buy movie tickets as soon as the case in his hand was over.

Speaking of the case, Han Dada'er suddenly remembered that he was going to transfer a team of people early this morning to raid the Jiudaowan Hutong.

He made an appointment with Mei Ruohong to go to the play, and turned around to enter the gate of the police department, Mei Ruohong saw that he suddenly looked anxious, so he asked what kind of case he was investigating at the moment.

Han Da'er wanted to hurry up and mobilize people, but Mei Ruohong looked concerned, and he couldn't turn around and leave, so he turned around and briefly told Mei Ruohong about the case of the next nine bends.

At this time, Fan Tong was holding two sets of baked cakes and steamed buns, eating them while walking, and was heading towards the door. When Han Daring saw that he was about to enter the door, he stopped him and asked him to go to Mei Jian first, saying that he would transfer a small team of people to check the Nine Bends. Fan Tong held the baked cake bun and hurriedly went to Mei's office.

Mei Ruohong listened to Han Dada'er's brief explanation, Jiudao'er's observations, pondered slightly, and then said:

"I remember when I was studying abroad, I met an architect who was good at drawing in addition to designing buildings. He can use visual errors to draw almost real streets, place them in a distance, and use optical illusions such as light to paint a wall into a far street! ”

Han Dada'er was in a hurry to mobilize manpower, but when she heard Mei Ruohong say this, she suddenly became interested, so she hurriedly asked.

Mei Ruohong continued:

"At that time, the architect painted a street scene on a wall, because there were buildings on both sides of the wall, blocking part of the light, causing a lot of visual errors, some unfamiliar people, only to find that there was no road when they walked to the root of the wall, and some people even hit the wall. Later, the local police were afraid that the painting on the wall would cause danger, so they ordered the architect to cover the original street scene painting with paint. ”

Mei Ruohong instructed Han Dada'er:

"Maybe the nine bends make use of artificial visual errors, maybe it may not be the kind of three-dimensional street scene painting, but it was originally an alley extending in all directions, and there is no reason for it to suddenly become a maze ......"

Han Daring actually thought so in his heart, listening to Mei Ruohong's earnestness, listening to this meaning, it seemed that he wanted to follow Han Daring to check the Nine Bends. But the truth of those nine bends is not known, and it is really inconvenient to take her into danger.

So he hurriedly stopped it politely, so that Mei Ruohong would dispel the idea of going with him. and made an appointment with Mei Ruohong to go to the Quanye Field to watch a play next week.

Mei Ruohong knew that he didn't want to take risks himself, so he instructed:

"When you go, take a closer look at your surroundings and see if there are any visual traps set by you!"

With that, he took his leave and turned to leave.

Han Daring watched her walk far away, and then looked down to see the ghost ball in her hand and the disassembled ebony box. I wanted to call Mei Ruohong out loud and ask him to help him study what is strange about this ghost ball.

Han Dada'er is among the men, although he can be regarded as bold and careful, but compared with Mei Ruohong's calm, meticulous and meticulous, it is far behind. Besides, he Han Dada'er knows nothing about jade antiquities, unlike Mei Ruohong, who has a wide range of family history, if the ghost ball is in her hands, she will definitely be able to find any useful clues.

But she asked Mei Ruohong for help again and again, she never shirked, in order to help herself test, she had already fallen ill before, and these days she helped dismantle the ebony machine box, which took a lot of effort, which was really sad. Seeing her somewhat haggard face, Han Da'er really couldn't bear to ask for help.

At this time, Mei Ruohong, who had already walked away, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Han Da'er. Although she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly from a distance, Han Daring could also guess that Mei Ruohong must have wanted to help her solve the mystery of the ghost ball, so she turned to look at herself.

Han Daring hurriedly waved goodbye to Mei Ruohong, put the ghost ball and the disassembled ebony box into his pocket, turned around and walked quickly to the gate of the police department.

Mei Ruohong stood in the distance, saw Han Dada'er waving goodbye, turned around and entered the police department, she also guessed that Han Da'er was afraid that she would work harder. But I'm afraid it's not distress for my sweetheart, but I just don't want to lose too much money on myself.

Han Da'er is grateful to herself after all, but there is very little love between men and women. I couldn't help but feel a little sour in my heart, tears slipped from the corners of my eyes, and I turned around and left silently.

Han Daring walked into the door, stood in the dark from a distance, turned around and looked at Mei Ruohong's back again, seeing that his shoulders trembled slightly, and his heart was also a little moved, feeling that he was really not good to her.

Then he suddenly remembered the young man with gold-rimmed glasses in the Cadillac car that day. Seeing that young man's family background is superior, Mei Ruohong is also very attentive. I couldn't help but think in my heart, maybe with that young man, it would be better for Mei Ruohong, and I wouldn't let her down.

Han Daring didn't think much about it anymore, and hurriedly went to the Detective Bureau, Mei Benshi's office. When he arrived at the office, he saw Fan Tong standing at the door and didn't go in, and when he asked, he realized that Mei had not come yet.

The two of them waited for half an hour before they saw Mei swaying with small steps and carrying her big back to the door of the office.

Mei Benshi saw Han Dada'er and Fan Tong waiting at the door, and when she asked, she realized that Han Dada'er had encountered it last night, and she couldn't help but ask for warmth with a fake model.

Han Da'er hurriedly told Mei about the matter, and transferred a team of people to investigate the matter of Jiudao'er. originally thought that this case was sent by Mei, and he must have agreed. Who knows what they are capable of, but they say that the case of Jiudao'er is not in a hurry, and it can be put aside first.

Han Daring didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly asked the reason. Mei was originally concerned about him, but in the end, Han Daring was in a hurry, and he resigned and quit if he didn't let people check the nine bends. Mei was able to tell the truth.

It turned out that the case of the disappearance of the people in Jiudaowan was supervised because the family members of the senior officials of the city government were missing, and because they had been to the Jiudaowan area before, they thought they were also missing there. But a few days later, the family of the high-ranking official actually appeared by himself, it turned out that he lost a lot of money in the Huili Arena, and he was afraid of being scolded when he went home, so he hid in the field to relax, and he just came back in the past two days.

Since the family members of high-ranking officials did not disappear in Jiudaobend, then this case is not important, there must not be one hundred and eighty missing people in Tianjin Wei in any year, and it is nothing to lose a few ordinary people, there is no need to rush to investigate, just deal with other cases first.

Saying that, he threw another kidnapping case in front of Han Da'er's eyes, and there was a son of a wealthy businessman in Tianjin, who was kidnapped and extorted 20,000 yuan. Mei had the ability to ask him to investigate the case first, and the case of Jiudao'er could be put aside first.

Han Da'er was on fire at that time, stretched out his hand to tear his clothes and take off his hat, and he was going to pick and choose at that time. Mei was a little panicked when she saw that he was really here. There are few of his subordinates who can really handle cases and arrest murderers, Han Da'er is the number one elite soldier in his hand, if he leaves, I am afraid that the chair under his ass will not be able to sit steadily.

Mei can only speak comfortingly, and promised to transfer a few right-hand men to let Han Da'er take them to confiscate the nine bends. There can't be too many people, and it must be investigated secretly, and as for the kidnapping case of the rich businessman's son, it can't be put down.

Han Da'er reluctantly agreed, after all, the kidnapping case is also a case, and it can't be left alone, but for now, it is necessary to hurry to Jiudao'er and rescue the nose.

In addition to Fan Tong, Mei sent four more policemen to help Han Dada'er go to Jiudao'er to investigate. But unexpectedly, Han Daring took a few people to investigate in the nine bends, but he pounced again. A few people circled around this alley a few times, and then they walked out of the alley, not like last night's race, and fell into the ecstasy array.

The weird clues that Han Daring discovered last night were all gone at this moment......
