Chapter 104: Crystal Wine Glass
Anyway, they all lived in a hotel, and if this foreign criminal investigation professor was really a system holder with a "spirit", then his meeting with Hao Chen was only a matter of time sooner or later. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's just that it's a little too early, and he doesn't even let Hao Chen finish his breakfast.
But after all, who made him unable to let go of his heart, and held Mangjun to wander around the corridor, why bothered to die.
Hawke opened the door, and the unfamiliar blues music behind the door pierced through the door, which made Hao Chen a little surprised, he smiled as if he was welcoming an old friend who had not seen him for a long time, not at all like he had only seen it half an hour ago, he let Hao Chen in, closed the door like an ordinary guest, took a can of Coke for Hao Chen, let him sit on a chair, took a can of beer himself, and sat down.
Anyway, the rooms in the hotel are all the same style, and Hao Chen has nothing to observe, looking at this foreigner with a smile on his face.
High nose and deep eyes, blue pupils different from Orientals, yellow and white hair, thinking about the age is not small, there are always fifty to sixty years old, he thought of Situ Yang again, he was also about the same age, and he couldn't help but shudder.
Bang, Hao Chen turned on the Coke, the atmosphere was indeed a little awkward, Mang Jun jumped off his shoulder, circled around the house, and found a sunny place to lie down and sleep, completely like a cat.
"I heard that you are a criminal investigation expert...... "You can't drink Coke in someone's house, be in a daze, you have to make do with something."
"Sort of, at most a few cases have been broken, and if I have to buckle my hat, I can only borrow no. "Fluent in Chinese, if it weren't for his appearance, Hao Chenbi would definitely think that he was chatting with the Chinese people.
"Hehe, your Mandarin is standard enough!" This is a good starting point, and maybe you can ask for some clues.
"Oh, yes, because my grandfather is from Yandu, I can't be considered a quarter of my blood!"
Hao Chen didn't expect that such a foreigner, who couldn't see a little Asian gene from head to toe, actually had the genes of the Yandu people, and after calculating the time, he should still go out before the war.
Hao Chen's historical knowledge is basically a blank, but when it comes to the major events of that meeting, he still knows a little, at that time, there are only three ways to go abroad, public study, self-funded and part-time immigration, but looking at Hawke's gestures, it is not like that Hawke's grandfather is either a student studying abroad in the public government, or he is the descendant of a certain gentry official.
"I didn't see it, you still have Yandu blood, that year, your grandfather studied abroad in the government?"
"No, grandpa ......went out for some other reason," said Hawke, taking a sip of beer and cocking Erlang's legs.
"Oh......" He didn't say deeply, and Hao Chen couldn't continue to ask.
"Mr. Hao doesn't want to know, what is my grandfather going to do?" Huo Ke asked Hao Chen as if he had a point, and even turned sideways to deliberately lean in the direction where Hao Chen was sitting.
"Well, if you're happy to say it, I'd love to know. Hao Chen naturally responded to him politely.
"Haha, that's a long story. ”
"Listen up. ”
Hawke cleared his throat, drank the beer in his hand in a few sips, glanced at Hao Chen with interest, stood up, and opened his mouth as if he was going to give a speech.
The story is not far away, in the early twentieth century, when countries around the world were trying to develop industrial civilization, but also outside their own territory, their own colonies, plundering resources and manpower.
At that time, Hawke's grandfather was also a young man in his early twenties, as the only son in the family, his father had just passed away, and he was young, not only had to take charge of the pawn business in the family for more than 100 years, but he was busy every day, from morning to night, and sometimes he had to go far away.
It happened to a certain time, an old customer who was originally only collecting but not selling.
This person was a famous lover of old goods in Yandu back then, others loved antiques, but he liked those things that were contaminated with the breath of life, and were discarded by people in various names, better gold and silver filigree soft, worse copper mirror swords, must be used by people, not the size of the treasure that was offered.
As long as he meets the right eye, he does not spare money, and all move home, he is the famous "Yandu Rag King" at that time, saying that he is tattered is not because he does not have antique toys at home, these valuable things in the eyes of others, but his family's treasures are not antique toys at all.
His most precious thing is a foreign wine glass picked out from Hawke's grandfather's pawnshop, the crystal texture is translucent, half of the glass body is completely transparent, half is carved with a diamond pattern, the cup base is round, carved out of a crouching eagle face, wings, head raised, it has a head on top of the cup, and its claws grasp a scroll-like object and fall on the cup base.
Grandpa said that this cup is the only one, is an old lady who does not recognize that the family is in trouble, and there is nothing left to use as some money to save the emergency, coincidentally, that day this "Yandu Rag King" was also present, looking at the cup interesting and spent dozens of taels of silver, so that the pawnshop made a lot of money, and took it home.
But who would have thought that the matter would be with this cup.
About a month later, one day, the rag king suddenly called a lot of workers to move all kinds of rags on the cart, and tossed all kinds of rags on the cart, and tossed for a whole day, and an alley was a carriage for him to transport goods, which made everyone think that he was going to move and move places, but who would have thought that the next morning, the carriage was blocked at the door of Hawk's grandfather's pawnshop.
Whatever the King of Rags says, he must take all these things away, and he must be them, and if he doesn't give them away, he doesn't sell them, he just be.
At that time, no one could take out so much money, let alone money, even if it was a warehouse, it couldn't hold so many things, Hawke's grandfather naturally wanted to refuse, but who would have thought that this rag Wang Hailai didn't leave on the street, crying and shouting that he didn't care about his image at all, and even didn't want money in the end, just begged Hawke's grandfather to accept the things in the alley.
"Hiding something?" Hao Chen listened to it quite mysteriously, but Huo Ke said it in a matter-of-fact manner, and it didn't seem like he was making it up.
"Pretty much. Hawke smiled and continued.
After three days and three nights, the tattered king was exhausted, and Hawke's grandfather was also annoyed, and in the end, he couldn't help it, and Hawke's grandfather was a face-saving person, so he had to find a compromise method, asking him to rent a warehouse in the suburbs with his own money, which was nominally hung on Hawke's grandfather, but in fact it was still his tattered king's things, which was solved.
"How can you go abroad because of this?" This has been said for a long time, at most it is a story, and it has nothing to do with going abroad.
"It has to come back to the cup. Hawke smiled slightly, signaling Hao Chen not to worry, and then continued to tell his story.
The matter of the tattered king's emptying of his "collection" soon spread all over this Yan capital, and for a while, all kinds of gossip and rumors spread one after another in the streets and alleys.
One of the most like that is the thing, it is related to the crystal cup, saying that the base of the cup actually hosts a red-haired and blue-eyed ghost, he occupies the house of the Broken King, if he does not move these things, he will have to die in his family every day, and use his few wolf green guards to make a trial, three big wolf dogs, silent head lost, but also died outside the house of the Broken King, no one is afraid, so there are the alleys full of trucks and three days and three nights of crying.
"Is the dog really dead?" Hao Chen finally raised a hint of interest.
"Grandpa said he was dead, and he also saw the corpse in the backyard of the tattered Wang family, it was summer, and the corpse didn't rot or smell for so long. Hawke pursed his lips and shook his head.
"Then this rumor is still true?" After talking about it for a long time, it is better to go directly to the topic and say that there are ghosts in that cup.
"Yes, because later, my grandfather went abroad with this cup to find an heir for him, that is, the ghost!"
"Heir?"
"Or to put it another way, you'll understand it better, called, find a boarding partner!"
“......”
"It's about the same as the one in your head. ”
“......”
