Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 2357: Weird Jade Pepper
I gently relieved the jade pepper, unlike what I had imagined, although it was a little cool, but not particularly different. Without waiting for my careful observation, Lady Lei has already told several people in black to sink: “Get rid of the body before it leaves behind! ”
Her tone was a little anxious, as if leaving the body behind would cause even greater disaster.
I saw that she was old, but there was nothing messy about the sudden events, and it was more thunderous to deal with them, and I couldn't help but admire her. Out of the room with Lady Lei, she said with sadness: "Within a month, three lives have been lost. The news is very difficult to seal off. If you continue like this, you have to cause a big mess.” She looked at me and said seriously: "Mr. Zhang, this is up to you. It must be resolved in the shortest possible time. ”
I handed her the jade in my hand: “Have you seen this? ”
Old Lady Ray is rich all her life. What baby have you never seen? Naturally you don't care about what you take off the maid, you just look at it casually, but your eyes change instantly, some incredibly ask: “This… how is it here? ”
The look and appearance obviously recognize the jade.
And I was like, “What's going on? ”
Old Lady Lei seems to have not relieved God: “This is the jade pei that my second daughter-in-law loved before she was born, but it has broken, how can it be...”
Is this the Jade Pei Grandma Ray bought at the auction house?
I took the jade pepper and took a fine look at the moonlight for a while, and found that the jade pepper actually had a few fine marks on it, like it broke and then something stuck it back together.
Lady Ray hasn't relieved God from shock yet: “What the hell is going on? Is it exactly the same two pieces of jade, or...” She seems to be slowly reacting: “So many strange things happened at home, all related to this jade? ”
Obviously, it was hard for her to imagine that so many lives had been lost at home, and that the figurine maker was a piece of jade.
Because all of a sudden, Lady Lei had no idea, I had to comfort her a few words and promise to settle the matter as soon as I could. Lady Lei left with a gloomy face. I took Jade Pei back to my room and found that there were already many unanswered phones on the nightstand.
All the calls came from the first year, it was a little late, and I was hesitating to call him back, and he called again.
I picked it up in a hurry and listened to him coldly: “I've taken care of everything on my side. I bought a ticket for tonight. I can meet you at Xi 'an in the morning. How's your side? ”
I told him the clue I found at Lei's house, which was supposed to be silent for a moment: "Don't worry, we'll deal with it together when I get there. ”
I hung up on the phone after two shouts and I was relieved to say a few words at first.
After this torment, I had no intention of sleeping, so I simply took the jade and studied it under the lamp. The jade is fan-shaped, without any patterned lines, perhaps a long time ago, and is incredibly smooth and polished. The quality of Jade Pei is not very rare, and the lines are clear and severely damaged. When the light shines, the cracks inside are found in a glorious red color.
Is that what's causing all the trouble in Ray's house?
But it's not surprising, it doesn't even fluctuate a bit, and from my years of experience with shady things, it's really ordinary, it can't be normal anymore.
After studying for half an hour, I was really tired and fell asleep in bed. The next day I was woken by a thunderstorm, black pressurized outside the window, lightning, huge rain dots pouring on glass windows like water. I rubbed my eyes, picked up the phone beside me and looked at the time, it was actually 9: 00 a.m., and the first one also texted me that Xi 'an airport was closed for weather reasons, his plane was late, at this moment he was waiting for notice at an airport a thousand miles away.
I threw my phone aside and suddenly felt like something was missing.
I thought about it, and suddenly I was shocked, and the Jade Pei I've been studying last night is gone? I jumped out of bed in a hurry, searched carefully, and never found its shadow.
I opened the door and Mei heard the noise and hurried over: “Mr. Zhang, you are awake. ”
“May, did anyone come to my room last night?” I thought someone went into the room and took the jade while I was asleep.
But Xiao Mei shook her head blindly: “No...”
So Yuppe disappeared?
Xiao Mei looked ugly and asked in panic: "Mr. Zhang, are you okay? ”
I shook my head and tried to make myself look normal: "It's okay. ”
Xiao Mei laughed: “The old lady called the family back and they were all in the living room. She also told me to ask you to come when you wake up. ”
Looks like what happened last night still inspired Lady Lei. She must have called the whole family here with important orders.
I changed my clothes and followed May to the living room. There was no sound in the spacious living room, a few people covered in darkness, the lightning struck suddenly, the white light suddenly reflected on everyone's uneasy face, like a curse had fallen, causing several people to strike a chill at the same time.
When she saw me come in, Lady Lei rose to greet her and introduced her to three people in the room: “This is Mr. Zhang, a friend of the Governor of the Nine Palaces Mountain Ma. ”
And with Lady Lei's introduction, my eyes fell on three different people in the living room.
There was a middle-aged woman sitting on the couch, and she looked very dull, serious and smiling. And sitting opposite her was a young girl, with her eyes wide open, confused, as if she didn't understand what had happened to make the atmosphere so strange? A man in his 20s was standing beside the fireplace, frowning and looking at me with suspicion.
Based on the clues gathered earlier, I have probably guessed the identities of the three without waiting for Mrs. Lei to introduce them.
The middle-aged woman is the eldest daughter-in-law of Lady Lei. After the death of her husband in a car accident, she lived without sorrow to this day. The young man next to the fireplace is her son, who was sent abroad by Lady Lei since childhood. The young girl is the girlfriend of her grandson, because when she first arrived, there was some confusion about the situation.
Lady Lei's introduction quickly corroborated my opinion, and she went on to say: "The family has not been very peaceful lately, Archer, I have ordered a ticket for today, so go back to England now! ”
