Chapter 71: The White Jade Tiger Jade
Xiang Yong led them straight to Wang Jianlong's study, and after entering the door, he said: "Professor Wang has been obsessed with collecting antiques in recent years, and I think he should have a special record." Let's go out and look for it. Find a booklet, or a notebook, journal, or something. ”
Li Xiumei's expression moved slightly.
Chen Beixuan raised his hand: "Team...... Brother, what if he doesn't have the habit of taking notes?"
"Let's look for it first, and if you don't find it, think of another way. ”
Everyone rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find it.
After a while, Ye Liuli pulled out a notebook with a sheepskin cover from the bookshelf, and after quickly turning a few pages, she excitedly shouted: "Found it!"
"Show me. ”
Ye Ruri handed over the notebook, her face full of excitement and anticipation.
Xiang Yong turned the first page, which read: "140 silver dollars bought the blue and white porcelain tea cup of the former dynasty on Wanrong Road, it should be genuine." ”
Below is a hand-drawn drawing of a tea cup, and it can be seen that the person who painted has some sketching skills, which is vivid. It should have been hand-painted by Professor Wang Jianlong himself.
I turned the second page again.
"20 silver dollars bought a bronze candlestick at a roadside stall, two feet high, shaped in the style of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and the authenticity is uncertain. There is a note on the back: "Someone has been found to identify it, it is a forgery." ”
Underneath is a candlestick, and even the patterns on the candlestick are meticulously outlined.
Xiang Yong raised his head and gave Ye Liuli a smile: "You did a great job, this is what I'm looking for!"
Yaruri smiled sweetly like a child eating chocolate.
Xiang Yong said loudly: "Now let's find out all the antiques in Professor Wang Jianlong's collection. ”
Chen Beixuan raised his hand again: "Senior brother, I don't know which ones are antiques." ”
"You feel like you've found all the antiques. If you can't make up your mind, bring it too. ”
Everyone went their separate ways.
Li Xiumei bowed slightly: "Do you want to check, has he lost something?"
"Yes. I'm not sure if it's useful, but I think it's where he most likely intersects with the charlatans. ”
"That's a good idea. Maybe we can get something," Li Xiumei's eyes became brighter and brighter, "Why didn't we think of this method before." ”
Xiang Yong smiled, "Jianghu people, naturally there are methods of Jianghu people." ”
After saying that, he also joined his teammates and began to find and carry antiques.
After a busy half of the morning, everyone finally moved all the things in the house that might be antiques to Wang Jianlong's study.
Xiang Yong opened the notebook and began to check it one by one.
"Blue and white porcelain teacup...... Over here. ”
"Bronze candlestick...... Here, found. ”
"The lacquer bowl of the Eastern Tang Dynasty...... Where? Don't you see? Oh, sorry, there's a note in the back, and I took it to exchange it for someone else. Let me take a look, the colored porcelain horses of the Kun Dynasty...... In this. ”
"Who saw the enamel incense burner? Oh, okay. ”
The past is excluded in the same way.
Until a piece of "white jade tiger jade".
"Didn't you find it?" Xiang Yong thought for a moment, "Well, let's take a look at the back first." ”
In the end, there are 74 antiques, except for the white jade tiger jade, all of which can match the number.
Xiang Yong turned his gaze to Li Xiumei again: "Have you checked Professor Wang's diary?"
Of course, I checked it, and his diary generally records things at work, not much in life. We didn't find anything of value. ”
Xiang Yong thoughtfully.
Then he called Li Zhiping and gave a few orders, and Li Zhiping answered and went downstairs by himself.
"Let's wait. "Xiang Yongdao.
After a while, Li Zhiping came outside the house and shouted, "Brother Qiu Tu, are you here?"
Xiang Yong looked out of the window, Qiu Tu soon appeared, yawning, wearing the awkward-looking clothes from last night, his hair was unkempt, and he didn't know where he spent the night.
Qiu Tu talked to Li Zhiping for a few words, showed a surprised expression, glanced upstairs, hesitated for a moment, and followed Li Zhiping into the house.
Their footsteps soon sounded outside the study, and after Qiu Tu came in, he first glanced at Li Xiumei with contemptuous eyes, and then saluted Xiang Yong: "Xiao Daxia." ”
Xiang Yong returned the salute as he looked, and after Qiu Tu straightened up, he couldn't wait to ask, "Do you know the whereabouts of the white jade tiger jade?"
Xiang Yong smiled and shook his head: "I don't know yet." ”
Qiu Tu glanced at Li Zhiping with disgust, and said lazily: "Then what did you call me to do." ”
"I came to you to confirm one thing," Xiang Yong said with a smile, "You Zhengyangmen are planning this treasure, is it possible that there is a leak over there?"
"Impossible," Qiu Tu said categorically, waving his hand impatiently, "since you don't know anything either, don't waste my time, I have to go somewhere else to find out the news." Farewell!"
Saying that, he simply turned around and left. Xiang Yong didn't keep him either.
After Qiu Tu left, Li Xiumei frowned lightly, "What did you mean by your conversation just now? I understand every word, but I can't understand it when it's connected." ”
Xiang Yong patiently gave an explanation, not only to Li Xiumei, but also to his teammates: "I learned that Zhengyangmen has been secretly paying attention to Professor Wang's house, and I have a guess in my heart, why does Zhengyangmen of the Jianghu Sect have something to do with Professor Wang? Why does Zhengyangmen still pay attention to his house when Professor Wang dies? Unless there is something that Zhengyangmen wants falls into the hands of Professor Wang." After Professor Wang's death, they must have searched for it, but they didn't find anything, so they took the method of keeping an eye on Professor Wang's house. ”
"I boldly deduced that what Zhengyangmen wanted would be the only missing white jade tiger jade in Professor Wang's collection? So I asked Li Zhiping to call Qiu Tu out and ask him face to face if he wanted to know the whereabouts of the white jade tiger jade bi. ”
And Qiu Tu's reaction confirmed my suspicions. ”
Night Ruri's blinking eyes were full of adoration.
Chen Beixuan was thoughtful, and Fan Xiaoyue smiled.
Li Zhiping learned to praise: "Now that your guess has been confirmed, what will we do next?"
"Let's go find out the person who killed Professor Wang and took away the White Jade Tiger Jade. Xiang Yong said lightly.
"How to find it?" Li Xiumei couldn't help but ask.
Xiang Yongyang raised the notebook in his hand: "Professor Wang has recorded the origin of each of his antiques. Qiu Tu said just now that there was no leakage on the Zhengyang Gate, so why was the murderer able to lock up Professor Wang?"
"Of course, there are two hypotheses here, one is the assumption that the murderer came to the door for this antique, and he had no intersection with Professor Wang before. The second is to assume that the murderer learned the news from the place where Professor Wang bought the antiques. ”
"Whether these two assumptions are true, let's go to this place and ask. Xiang Yong smiled confidently.
As his words fell, a cold and grand voice sounded in his head: "Main quest progress: 20/100." ”
Xiang Yong smiled and spread out his notebook, and the page read: "210 silver dollars bought the white jade tiger jade from Liu Lame on Zhengde Street." It should be genuine. ”
