In the end, this result was something that Lin Yi and the others could never have imagined.

The truth of this matter has been buried for more than half a century!

This unjustly imprisoned Ah Bo, when he was imprisoned, was still a shrewd and capable young man, and when he came out, he was almost an old man.

"It wasn't until after my return that my case was reopened because there was not enough evidence at that time and I was released. I didn't know who I was going to turn to, and I didn't know who I was supposed to trust.

So, I can only hold the notebook left by Mr. Xu, and use the compensation money to open such a shop on Moro Street, for more than 20 years, whenever there is a guest from the mainland, I will intentionally or unintentionally mention the 'secret purchase group' of the year, but no one knows or remembers it at all."

Speaking of this, Abo's already cloudy eyes were filled with tears.

"You're the first!"

Lin Yi already knew the rest of the matter.

In the archives of the National Museum, they found materials that recorded the situation at that time.

The night before he died, Mr. Hui attended a drinking party hosted by an English jeweller, and the next morning he got into his car and just drove out of the Peninsula Hotel when he collided head-on with a taxi.

His driver and himself were tragically killed.

After that, the local police station immediately raided Mr. Xu's room at the Peninsula Hotel and brought all the people who had close contact with him back to the police station for interrogation.

According to these people's later recollections, during their detention, they were all tortured, and the content of the torture was only one sentence: Have you been in contact with Xu Baijiao recently, and has he ever given you anything?

However, after several hours of detention, they were all released.

At that time, when other members of the "secret purchase team" in Beijing heard about the incident, they immediately reported it, and the authorities immediately sent people to Xiangjiang to negotiate with the local Zhan Police Station, and the Yingzhi Police Station turned the direction of its investigation to the cause of Xu Baijiao's death.

And this uncle, because he often met with Mr. Xu, was charged with a crime and arrested.

Now, everything is understood.

At the beginning, the group of English devils in Xiangjiang were in collusion with the "Purple Marquis", a nest of snakes and rats, and did some unseemly deeds, and after they killed Mr. Xu, they saw that the mainland was menacing and wanted to find them to "ask for their lives", so they fled from Xiangjiang in a hurry.

Abel became a speck of dust forgotten in the corner of that era.

"At that time, why did Mr. Xu take you to take pictures?"

"He told me that if I want to engage in the antique industry in the future and find the manager of the Xiangjiang antique store, this photo is my recommendation letter for entering the industry."

Hearing this, the two were embarrassed.

If it weren't for this accident, Abel would have been a well-known literary and entertainment master in the Xiangjiang region.

And this uncle, who only had a verbal promise with Mr. Xu back then, was unjustly imprisoned for more than half a century for a promise, and this kind of "death for a confidant" feeling is rare.

"Mr. Xu's death was by no means as simple as an accident, and when he handed me this notebook, I already felt that he was ready.

It's just that I didn't expect it to come so quickly.

It's been so long since I've been able to let go of it, and I'm so happy to see you all back for this today! If you can."

Abel suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Lin Yi and Bai Lu.

"I can't do it, I can't help it!"

The two were frightened by his sudden move, and quickly got up to return the salute and helped Abel up.

"I hope that you can still find the murderer who killed Mr. Xu, then even if I die, I will be blind."

Lin Yi helped Abel sit down and replied:

"Don't worry, we're here for this purpose."

Abel held Lin Yi's hand tightly and nodded excitedly.

"Good! Good! Good! I finally didn't look away, okay. ”

"Abo, can I make a remake of this photo?"

Abel nodded and pushed the frame to Bai Lu's hand.

Bai Lu adjusted the camera, cut open the aluminum clip behind the photo frame, took it to the back cover, and dropped two small pieces of paper from the mezzanine of the photo frame, one of which seemed to be cigarette box paper.

Lin Yi hurriedly picked it up and put it on the tea table.

Ah Bo picked up the cigarette box paper with trembling hands.

"It's Nanyang Double Happiness, Mr. Xu's favorite cigarette brand!"

Flipping through the piece of paper, a few lines of scribbled but strong pen words appeared behind it.

Lin Yi recognized at a glance that this font was the same as the font on the title page of the notebook.

"Ah Si Xiaoyou, I'm really sorry, I still don't know your name and surname, so I can only call you by this name.

If you have handed over my work notes to my companions, please be sure to hand over this picture to Mr. Ma Hengchu, the following line of numbers can go to my Xu's firm, take some hard money, thank you very much! ”

The signature below is "Xu Baijiao".

On the back of the cigarette pack, a piece of paper the size of a sticky note paper is almost glued to the other half of the cigarette pack.

Judging from the outline, this piece of paper seems to be a corner torn from somewhere, and the content of those symbols on it shocked Lin Yi.

Because it's the same code symbols in your notebook.

It's also more neat and beautiful.

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Xu actually left me a note in this photo frame, but I have never opened this photo frame for so many years, which delayed Mr.'s business."

"Don't blame yourself, leave this matter to us, we will definitely give you and Mr. Xu an explanation."

Bai Lu comforted a few words, took out the camera, recorded all the contents on it, and after retaking the photo, he buckled the frame and returned it to Abel again.

The two originally wanted to chat with Abel again to make him feel relieved, but they didn't expect that Abel was bent on driving them away, so that they could find out the ins and outs of this matter as soon as possible, and not waste time with him.

The two had no choice but to leave, and when they left, Lin Yi quietly left an envelope on Abo's windowsill.

Walking out of Morro Street, both of them let out a long breath.

Thinking about the situation of Mr. Xu and Uncle Ah Si back then, it is really depressing.

At this time, Lin Yi's phone rang suddenly, and it was Qian Sheng calling.

When I picked it up, it turned out that Curator Ma had already given the relevant coordinates, and the two of them had now arrived at the Longmen Grottoes and found the marked point.

"The two of us specially found the most professional local tour guide and explained it, but the coordinates given by Curator Ma didn't have anything, because the things in that place had been stolen and dug up. What's new on your side? ”

"We also have a lot of new clues here, by the way, what was the piece that was stolen and dug up before, can the tour guide explain it clearly?"

"Let's make it clear, we are also familiar with that thing, two relief stone carvings, the Northern Wei Dynasty, "The Emperor and the Empress Rite Buddha"!"
