Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 2,363: Five Jade Companions
In my old generation, I was told that many foreigners had stolen antiques from China under the banner of opening factories for more than eight years, not only in Xi 'an, but also in other ancient towns.
But that's why so many shady things are flowing abroad, causing a lot of trouble!
Detective Sun picked up the photo in my hand like a baby and continued: “Although the old lady gave me little time, I still managed to contact an old man who was involved in burglary at the time. I heard that neither of the two jades was a good product, and the foreigner couldn't see it and didn't take it away, so it came out and was sold. ”
”" But these two jades are not the same angle or look as the one from the Lei family, "I said.
Detective Sun hastily interrupted my remarks: “What I'm saying now is that these jades are all out of Xi 'an and not in a grave. Mr. Zhang is also an expert in this area. He must know that the burial objects in the tomb are very polite. How could he split up one thing and bury it? ”
I nodded, I couldn't figure it out.
Detective Sun's eyes flashed with pride, smiling and said: “So I deliberately asked the university history professor to teach him. I heard him say that the Qin dynasty people thought that the jade had the effect of suppressing the evil, and divided a jade ring into five parts, obviously it was placed in five graves, suppressing what...”
When I heard him say this, I suddenly had an idea in mind. This approach is relatively cumbersome and obviously necessary, so what exactly are the five jades suppressing?
Detective Sun mysteriously lowered his voice and bought it from Lady Lei. “Lady, I didn't blow it with you. Don't say Xi 'an about what I'm about to say, but look at China as a whole. No one can find out...”
Lady Lei said impatiently: "Just say it, don't worry, I won't hurt you! ”
Detective Sun immediately came to the spirit and praised Lady Lei for a few words, so he said without hesitation: “I wonder if the old lady has heard of an extremely cruel punishment called the Five Horse Split Corpse in ancient times? According to ancient scriptures, this five-jade method is used to suppress the souls of those tragically killed by mutilation. Because the mutilation of the five horses was so cruel, it was only used at that time by those who had committed the most heinous sins and also to deter the people. And the rulers feared that the dead would return for revenge, so the corpses could not be buried together. They should be buried in five separate places, more listening to the way of believers, divide a whole jade into several parts, and place it on five coffins for repression, and the rarer the jade is, the more it is tested, and they do not know whether it is true or false. ”
After investigating so many clues in such a short time, the detective Sun had some skills, and no wonder Lady Lei gave him this task.
Lady Lei couldn't slow down for a moment when she heard such horrible things about the mutilation of the five horses, and she looked up at me with some confusion.
I suddenly remembered that the last time I came to Xi 'an, I also encountered the Yin Spirit of the Merchant who had been mutilated by the Five Horses. It was a travesty.
I asked Detective Sun: “The old tomb thief you found, could he tell you exactly where to dig up Jade Pei? ”
Now that I know a lot of information about Jade Pei, the identity of the tomb owner is still a cloud cover, so if I know where it is, I can go and check it out.
Detective Sun circled around the circle: “You know, people are talking about money now. Shut up. Don't bother to ask questions...”
“Give me a price!” Lady Lei waved at him and succeeded in stopping the constant rhetoric behind him.
Detective Sun hastily said a number and Lady Lei did not repay the price. A cheque was issued on the spot. Detective Sun smiled without his eyes and gave his address without saying anything.
The place is far from Xi 'an, near a small county town in the district.
It was late, it was raining heavily outside, and even though I was in a hurry, I decided to see the weather first thing in the morning before I made my decision.
Perhaps because of a short break before, the night was spiritual. At this point, Lisa regained some wisdom, and May even waited for her to drink some rare porridge.
After hearing about it, Rachel persisted in visiting her despite her daughter-in-law's dissuasion. Lisa, whose emotions gradually subsided, saw him and cried unexpectedly.
Although Lisa's arrival had cast a shadow over the Ray family into the disaster, Lady Ray didn't say much. Instead, her eldest daughter-in-law had changed her attitude towards Lisa. After a little comfort from Ray Cher, she dragged him away and didn't seem to want the two of them to get involved.
Lisa's eyes were a little dim and she fell asleep soon after, and apart from her quiet breathing, there were only two of us in the room. Xiao Mei waited for a day and was also a little tired, sneaking up on her chin, and I stood in front of the window looking at the rain outside.
It's been raining for a day. If it doesn't stop tomorrow, will anything happen to Ray's family?
Time passed slowly, near midnight, but there was a noise outside. Xiao Mei burst into shock and rushed out pale. He turned back later and said: "Mr. Zhang, there's a fire at the Buddha Hall...”
Did something happen to the Chamber of Secrets?
I told May to stay here and take care of Lisa and call me back if anything happens. I quickly walked to Buddha Hall, where a lot of people had gathered to fight the fire. The fire was not huge and soon stopped.
Lady Lei then arrived. After seeing the black smoky Buddha Hall, there was a cloud of sorrow between the eyebrows.
Next, people gathered to talk in low voice, some said that the candles of the Buddha Hall had fallen and caused the fire; others said that they saw a person sneaking into the Buddha Hall, possibly artificial arson; others said that the lightning struck the Buddha Hall on a thunderstorm day before the fire started...
Lady Lei's face was so gloomy that it took a moment to dismiss her, and she went with me to the study to wait for news. Shortly afterwards, the black man came to report the results of the investigation: "The fire was lit from the secret room, and there was already a rubble inside, nothing left. ”
The temperature in the chamber is extremely low, people will feel uncomfortable for a while, if not artificial arson, then the biggest possibility is related to ghost births.
It seems that the failure of the law of formation eventually freed it from bondage. Is its departure lucky or unfortunate for the Lei family?
After hearing the report of the black man, Lady Lei's face remained unchanged, shaded like a rainy night outside the window. She stood up trembling and ordered softly: "So much has happened at home that innocent people can no longer be harmed, let the family members leave. ”
The man in black was obviously shocked, but Lady Lei's will was firm, he dared not say more, and walked out to order.
When he walked away, Lady Lei's body wobbled and fell directly to the ground. My eyes hurried and I hurried to hold her. Lady Lei's pale face poured into my arms and cried desperately: “Is it true that my family is dying? ”
