A few people entered the store.

Maybe it's because the windows don't get good lighting, so the lights are on even in broad daylight, and the lights are dim yellow, but for some reason they don't need brighter white lights.

Maybe the yellow light can add an ancient atmosphere to the antique.

It's like when you go to the supermarket to buy pork, the lights can make the meat very fresh, but when you turn off the lights, it will be beaten back to its original shape.

The layout of the store is so dense that it doesn't look crowded or empty.

There are all kinds of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the left and right walls, more antique ornaments, and on the mahogany table in the distance, there are also ceramic displays that look very valuable.

How to say, the atmosphere in the whole store is very quiet, with a hint of solemnity in the quiet.

At this time, there were already two guests wandering around, occasionally commenting on what was in front of them, but soon they lost interest and walked out of the door.

In the corner, an old man was sitting there, drinking tea and looking at the book in his hand.

The book binding is a bit old, it may be that the book is really old, or it may be intentional in modern workmanship.

"Old man Wu."

After the two guests left, Chen Yi came straight here and said with a smile.

The other party is quite Buddhist.,There are guests who don't entertain them.,It doesn't seem to be very active in making money.,Is it for a hobby to open a store? Or is it the character?

Wu Muyang subconsciously raised his head.

Like most old people, he is in a bit of a twilight state, not as energetic as some old people who exercise regularly and have a good mentality.

It must have something to do with the experience of going to prison.

"Who are you who know me?"

Wu Muyang was a little strange.

After being released from prison many years ago, I have become very low-key, no longer doing the work of "going to the ground", nor making new friends.

It's just a matter of knowing yourself when you're old, it's really rare to know yourself at such a young age.

Chen Yi chuckled: "Hello Old Man Wu, we are criminal policemen." ”

Hearing this, Wu Muyang was stunned for a moment, then closed the book in front of him, and looked calm: "Young man, is there anything to find me?" ”

It is true that he himself could not have been suspected of a criminal offense, so it was impossible to be afraid.

Chen Yi: "There are some questions I want to ask Old Man Wu for advice, don't you know if it's convenient?" ”

Wu Muyang: "It's inconvenient. ”

Chen Yi: "Uh......"

The refusal was crisp.

Zhao Qiming on the side said: "Mr. Wu, cooperate with the police investigation, it's ......"

Before he finished speaking, Wu Muyang smiled and continued: "It is the obligation of every citizen, but I can not fulfill it." ”

Zhao Qiming frowned.

Chen Yi was thinking about what to say, when Wu Muyang's voice suddenly changed: "But...... If you're willing to pay, I'll talk to you. ”

"How about a thousand dollars in half an hour?"

This made Chen Yi frown slightly: "Yes." ”

As long as it can be solved with money, it is not a problem for him.

When the words fell, he made a gesture, Qin Fei understood, immediately turned around and came to the door, hung up the sign of [Resting], and closed the door.

Immediately, he stood back.

Zhao Qiming wanted to speak and stopped, but since Chen Yi agreed, he was not ready to say more.

Should...... Is it reimbursable?

Maybe.

If not, it won't cost much to share it evenly, as long as the old guy doesn't deliberately delay time.

Seeing Chen Yi's promise, Wu Muyang's eyes lit up, and he stood up with a smile: "Come on, come on, sit here." ”

It seems that Wu Muyang is not not interested in making money, he has been the boss for a long time, and he has experience, knowing when he needs to receive and when he can ignore it.

Maybe there are 100 guests in and out of the usual, and one or two transactions can be considered successful.

A mahogany table, a few people seated.

The position was not enough, so Zhuo Yun and Qin Fei chose to stand behind Chen Yi.

"What do you call it, young man?" Wu Muyang glanced at Chen Yi and fiddled with the tea set in front of him.

Chen Yi: "My name is Chen Yi. ”

Wu Muyang snorted: "Good name, I don't know what you want to talk to me about?" Now the clock begins. ”

While speaking, he also memorized the time of the moment.

Chen Yi didn't care, and said, "Can't Old Man Wu guess?" ”

Hearing this, Wu Muyang's action of making tea paused for a second, and then said with a smile: "The work of the inverted bucket, I have long stopped doing it, in fact, it is useless for you to ask me, I don't know the soil rat in Jiangcheng now, why don't we talk about something else?" ”

Chen Yi: "No, let's talk about tomb robbing, which is what you call an inverted bucket." ”

"But there is a premise, Old Man Wu must tell the truth, and as long as he knows, he must tell me, whether it is the name of a person or a place."

Hearing this, Wu Muyang's face changed slightly, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "Then I won't take this job, you just give me a hundred yuan." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Chen Yi.

Chen Yi's eyes narrowed: "Old man Wu, you have to earn this money." ”

The sharp eyes and the faint compelling momentum made Wu Muyang's heart furious, this young man has something to do, and he has definitely experienced a big scene.

He sneered: "This...... Xiao Chen, you don't know, there are rules in this industry. ”

"If I betray some people and things, I will be buried alive."

Chen Yi smiled lightly: "It's okay, I'm asking about twenty-five years ago or even earlier, and the person concerned is very likely to be dead." ”

Wu Muyang shook his head: "That's not okay." ”

Chen Yi stared at Wu Muyang and said, "Old man Wu, I came here to investigate the case, I guess you know it." ”

"I will say two points, first, I am the leader of the task force sent by the provincial department."

"Second, the case involves six lives."

Wu Muyang's face changed, and he looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief.

The head of the task force sent by the provincial department? So young?!

Also, there were six deaths, such a big case!

He was a little stunned,

Chen Yi's tone slowed down: "Old man Wu, this case has a long time span and many victims, and the murderer is likely to continue to kill, please do me a favor." ”

"I'll double the price, two thousand, or you can make an offer."

He didn't want to be too tough, because what Wu Muyang said next was true or false, and only Wu Muyang himself knew.

deliberately deceived him, and it was difficult for him to tell the difference, not to mention that it was possible to hide it.

This person obviously has a good position in this industry, so he must ensure that the information is as complete and authentic as possible.

After Wu Muyang was silent for a long time, he sighed: "Okay, but you have to promise that you can't say my name, let alone mention my name in the file." ”

"The price...... This is what you said yourself, it has nothing to do with me, double the two thousand. ”

Chen Yi nodded: "Okay." ”

Wu Muyang continued to make tea, put it in front of several people one by one, and said, "Then you ask." ”

Chen Yi took a sip of the teacup and said, "Don't worry, Old Man Wu can earn more, let's talk about tomb robbing first." ”

"Just from ...... Start with a boil. ”

Wu Muyang wondered: "Do you still need to ask?" It's not that the Internet is very developed now, you can search for it yourself. ”

Chen Yi smiled: "It's okay, it's just idle chat." ”

Wu Muyang nodded and said, "The branch pot is the backbone of the inverted bucket team, and they are generally experienced old rats, who are responsible for gathering the rest of the team, which is easy to understand." ”

Chen Yi: "If an inexperienced person gets a tomb position, do you think he can hold up the pot?" ”

Wu Muyang: "It's okay, but you still need experienced people to lead." ”

Chen Yi: "What about after the pot?" ”

Wu Muyang: "After the pot, there are palms and legs, palms and eyes need accurate judgment and cultural relics identification ability, legs are for work, digging graves and removing obstacles, etc." ”

Chen Yi nodded slightly, and after making sure that what the other party said was the same as Tao Shangli, he asked, "Old man Wu, let me give you an example, you listen." ”

"Let's say I get the location of a tomb, but I don't have much experience, and I need a team to go down to the tomb together."

"Then, first find an experienced person who is proficient in acupuncture, and he helped me find a palm eye and five legs, and then we went to the grave together."

"After the results come out, the goods in our hands are not worth anything after identification, and there are fakes, only the real ones are in the palm of our hands, what is the situation?"

Wu Muyang said as a matter of course: "Do you still need to ask?" The palm of your hand has pitted you. ”

Chen Yi: "What if there are still people who die unnatural deaths?" ”

"Huh?" Wu Muyang's eyes condensed slightly, "Have you planted a life?" ”

Chen Yi: "What do you mean?" ”

Wu Muyang: "Oh, the living seed is to kill each other and kill the accomplices. ”

Chen Yi thought for a while and said, "The palm of the eye deceived us, making us think that what we had in our hands was the real thing, and then there was a cannibalistic thing in the process, right?" ”

Wu Muyang nodded: "According to what you said, it should be like this." ”

Chen Yi: "If we don't know each other, but only one person dies, how can we explain this situation?" ”

Wu Muyang picked up the teacup and said: "Then there are many possibilities, maybe in the process of pouring down, several people reached a consensus and dealt with someone together." ”

"It depends on who you are talking about."

Chen Yi: "The core of the team, the organizer, the experienced acupuncture pointer, the real pot supporter." ”

Hearing this, Wu Muyang smiled: "Then I understand, it's simple." ”

"The pot is tilted, there is a tilt of interests, and this matter needs to be made clear before leaving."

"For example, it is more common for the distribution to occupy a little more proportion."

"If it were me, I would choose the first choice, which means that I have the right to choose the first choice by putting together the water heads I get."

"Since I choose first, then I will naturally take the most valuable, and the corresponding danger will be greater, so I usually do not go to the grave with strangers...... Uh, work. ”

"There are tens of millions or even tens of millions of things at every turn, and wealth is moving."

Chen Yi was slightly silent and continued to ask: "Does the branch pot understand the identification of cultural relics?" ”

Wu Muyang: "I understand, but it's better to palm your eyes, otherwise what else do you want to do with your palms." ”

Chen Yi: "So in my team, the pot may have been pitted, he died of his guilt, the irony is that what he wants to protect is actually not worth anything at all." ”

Wu Muyang nodded: "Well, there is such a possibility." ”

"But in the case you said, the age of the tomb needs to be closer, and the closer it is, the more fakes there are."

Chen Yi: "What about the tomb?" ”

Wu Muyang: "Clear the tomb? The Qing tomb is almost the same, the most valuable is the official kiln and jade, and the others are basically included in the museum, and if you are lucky, you may be able to have something from the Ming and Tang dynasties or even earlier. ”

Chen Yi: "Is it possible that there is a mirror with relatively high value?" ”

Wu Muyang continued to serve tea to Chen Yi and said, "Bronze mirror? The bronze mirrors of the Tang, Ming and Song dynasties are quite rare. ”

Chen Yi: "For example? ”

Wu Muyang: "For example, the Tang Dynasty Sea Beast Grape Mirror is now worth millions or even more than 10 million. ”

Chen Yi: "Can this thing be faked in the Qing Dynasty?" ”

Wu Muyang nodded: "Yes, not only in the Qing Dynasty, but after the Song Dynasty, but the way used is more primitive, but it can also be fake." ”

"For example, just turn the mold."

"In the past, the method of casting mirrors was to turn the mold, clay mold, wax mold, scrape on the mold, carve patterns and inscriptions, and finally cast."

"The imitations after the Song Dynasty are generally directly turned into molds with bronze mirrors from the Han and Tang dynasties, and the poor workmanship of the ornamentation is blurred and the lines are not smooth, and the good workmanship is more exquisite."

"Of course, many imitation manufacturers like to do the opposite, deliberately blurring the ornamentation, because the real mirror will appear after a long time, which is one of the bases for identification, which is more of a test of eyesight."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Chen Yi, and after hesitating, he couldn't help it: "You...... Why do you ask this, could it be that the six people you just said died are ......?"

Chen Yi interrupted: "Old man Wu, to be honest, we don't know, if we knew, we wouldn't have bothered to ask you." ”

Wu Muyang didn't ask any more, anyway, it had nothing to do with him, he just didn't know if he knew the dead person.

The ones who have a good relationship are still alive, and I haven't heard of anything big happening in the recent past, so I don't think it's a well-known figure in the circle.

Just when he had just come up with this thought, Chen Yi suddenly handed over a list.

"Old man Wu, do you know these people?"

Out of curiosity, Wu Muyang hurriedly took it, glanced at it, and pointed to one of the names and said, "I seem to have a little impression of this one named Cao Maojun, and the others are very unfamiliar." ”

Chen Yi put away the list and said: "He is a university history professor and has certain attainments in the identification of cultural relics. ”

Hearing this, Wu Muyang's face showed a sudden expression: "I remember, there is indeed such a person, and his eyesight is still okay, it was a long, long time ago, and it has to ...... More than twenty years, right?

Chen Yi snorted: "Almost." ”

Wu Muyang sighed: "Time flies, everyone is old in a blink of an eye." ”

At this time, Chen Yi picked up the teapot in front of Wu Muyang, poured some tea for the other party, and said: "Old man Wu, we Jiangcheng or the entire Dongzhou area, you know how many famous branch pots, twenty-five years ago, whether you were arrested or not. ”

This question made Wu Muyang suddenly vigilant: "What do you mean?!" I do not know. ”

Chen Yi: "You know for sure. ”

Wu Muyang: "I really don't know, I said everything that should have been said when I was arrested, you go and turn over the file." ”

Chen Yi smiled: "Didn't we just say it, you know everything, you can't talk and don't count." ”

Wu Muyang frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "Then you can't ask such a sensitive question, I'm just polite, are you still here?" ”

"I don't know anyway."
