18 Relics(1/2)
Chen Xiaofei's mother and Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang chatted in the office. Chen Xiaofei was wandering outside like an ant on a hot pan, while the others were surrounding Bai Chi to see the "theft case" he found.
The newspaper that Zhan Zhao asked Bai Chi to read was old information. Xiao Bai Chi borrowed the newspaper from the library. He was bitten by bookworms while reading. Those who scratched their ears and heads still couldn't find the clues that Zhan Zhao wanted.
Originally, Xiaobaichi thought he was looking for a needle in a haystack, but who knew that after a massive browsing, he really found it!
Bai Chi found a small piece of report about a theft case in a newspaper. Although it was only a small piece of dried tofu, the basic description was consistent with what Zhan Zhao asked him to investigate. The key was that he also attached a picture!
"Hey!" Zhao Hu looked at the picture with the newspaper.
Gongsun found information about the case ten years ago and compared it with that picture...
What is the comparison? It's a knot!
"This is the knot that appeared in the unsolved case of the botanical garden ten years ago." Gongsun said, "The time I saw the god of death."
When Chen Xiaofei heard the "God of Death", he came over to take a look.
"This theft case was fifty years ago." Bai Chi said, "At that time, an old museum in S City was stolen. The police did not find any clues. The next day, the museum director committed suicide and hung his beam, but died suspiciously! Because the beam of the museum was very high, the director hung it in the air, his clothes were not messy, and there was no support for him to climb up. The newspaper photo provided a photo of a knot, probably because the investigators also thought the knot was very special, and when a reward order was issued, the reward clue provider."
"It's almost the same as the case in the Botanical Garden ten years ago!" Gongsun was surprised.
"Does the number six mean?" Bai Chi asked Zhao Hu.
Zhao Hu shook his head, "It's Jiu in the newspaper!"
"Is there any difference?" Luo Tian felt that it was almost the same.
"It's just a reversal." Zhao Hu said, "It looks like the same, but the knotting method is different."
Gongsun asked Chen Xiaofei, "Have you seen your father use this kind of knot? Or is there something left for you?"
Chen Xiaofei shook his head, "No, my dad is the stupidest, it would be strange if he can tie such knots!"
“Ha~”
While everyone was discussing this old case, Zhao Jue, who was napping on the sofa, suddenly turned over, yawned, sat up, and seemed to have woken up.
Everyone slapped and turned to look at him.
Zhao Jue blinked, feeling that the movements of the group of people were like some kind of crowded animals, so he asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhao Hu suddenly became interested and leaned over and asked, "Sir, you know everything?"
Zhao Jue's lips moved and he looked at Zhao Hu with a smile. The audience nodded again - definitely the look of looking at the Husky.
Zhao Jue showed it to Zhao Jue with the knot in the photo and asked, "Have you seen this? Do you know what it means?"
Zhao Jue glanced at the photo and didn't move. He seemed to be in a daze, or hadn't woken up.
Zhao Hu smiled and looked quite ungrateful. That's what he meant - there was something Zhao Jue didn't know, but he knew.
Just when Zhao Hu was proud, Zhao Jue suddenly clapped his hands, "Oh!"
Zhao Hu was shocked by his first reaction: Is this some new hypnosis method?
Zhao Jue looked at Chen Xiaofei again, "No wonder he felt a little familiar!"
Everyone was unsolved, "Familiar?"
Zhao Jue hooked his finger at Zhao Hu and said, "Where are the photos you took in that haunted house? Take that photo from his grandfather!"
Gongsun pulled out the portrait of Grandpa Chen Xiaofei from a bunch of photos.
Zhao Jue picked it up and looked at it, and smiled, "Do you think this person looks familiar?"
Everyone looked at each other - whom did they look familiar?
Gongsun looked at Chen Xiaofei, then looked at the photo, touched his chin, "Yeah..."
Qin Ou glanced at it and said, "I feel a little like Chen Mi."
"The eyes are indeed like..." Ma Xin covered the nose of the photo with her hands, leaving her eyes and forehead, "Does she look like Grandpa Chen?"
"Yes!" Zhao Hu nodded, "Like Chen Yu's grandfather!"
Chen Xiaofei looked at everyone in confusion, "What are you talking about?"
"Chen Mi and Chen Yu's father Chen Xinglong are thieves in the century." Gongsun asked, "But the era seems to be incompatible with the theft of a museum!"
"Some abilities, especially earth-shaking skills, are inherited. If the next generation does not inherit, it is very likely that the next generation will also inherit them." Zhao Jue smiled slightly, "This child is a few years younger than Chen Yu. If his grandfather is still alive, he should be about the same age as Mr. Chen. You all know that Old Chen's son is the King of Thieves, do you know that his father is also the King of Thieves? He is also a legendary King of Thieves who has never been caught in his life."
Everyone gasped... No!
"They are all surnamed Chen, are they relatives?" Gongsun was surprised.
Bai Chi held up the newspaper and asked, "Is this museum theft case done by Grandpa Chen's father?"
Chen Xiaofei tilted his head and had a slight understanding after hearing it, "It means...my great-grandfather?"
At this moment, a woman's voice came, "Yes, it's your great-grandfather."
Everyone turned around and saw the door of Bai Yutang’s office open. Chen Xiaofei’s mother walked out. She was the one who answered everyone just now.
It seems that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang have obtained a lot of clues from Chen’s mother. Zhan Zhao is holding some information in his hand, which is probably also provided by Chen’s mother.
Chen Xiaofei opened his mouth wide and was shocked.
"I heard his father mentioned before that his father-in-law has a brother who has been separated since childhood and has never seen him again." Mother Chen came helplessly and patted her son's head, saying, "Your great-grandfather is indeed a thief, an elegant thief, who specializes in stealing artworks. This mask..."
As he said that, Mom Chen reached out to pick up the mask and said, "After stealing this mask, your great-grandfather disappeared. Before he left, he sent his two children to his friends for foster care, leaving one of them with something so that they could recognize each other in the future. The mask that your grandfather left was by his side. Unfortunately, your grandfather passed away too early and there were no brothers reunited in the end."
Chen's mother thanked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, asked Chen Xiaofei to stay and cooperate with the investigation, and left.
Chen Xiaofei was surprised, "My mother didn't tell me the glorious history of my family..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Hu patted his head, "You have a broad heart, are your ancestors still have a glorious history?"
Chen Xiaofei narrowed his eyes, "Robin Hood is also a thief! My grandfather's father must have robbed the rich and helped the poor..."
Before they could finish their words, everyone showed him the mask of death. What does that mean - stealing such a terrifying thing, and robbing the rich and helping the poor?
"And it also involves two murders!" Gongsun reminded him, "Two knots appeared, two suicides in disguise, one had your great master on the scene, and one was suspected of your father on the scene!"
Zhan Zhao read the newspaper report found by Bai Chi, nodded, and asked Jiang Ping to check what exhibition was for that museum that year.
Bai Yutang walked to the sofa beside him and sat down.
Zhao Jue took the mask and handed it to Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang was originally obsessed with cleanliness. After knowing that the mask was a whole face, he didn't want to touch it. He frowned and looked at Zhao Jue - Why?
Zhao Jue smiled, "Try put it on."
The rest of the people looked at the sky - it would be strange if they were willing to wear it!
Sure enough, Bai Yutang looked disgusted.
"Feel it, maybe you will transform like a disguised monster!" Zhao Jue said a heartless joke.
Zhao Hu had no taboos and tried it on it.
Everyone couldn't help frowning - for some reason, this side had a gloomy and terrifying feeling, Zhao Hu had a bright and sunny personality, and after wearing this mask, he immediately gave people a very terrifying feeling.
Chen Xiaofei also touched his chin and studied, "I have worn it myself. The first time I saw someone wearing it, it turned out that it was so scary!"
Zhao Hu took down his mask and shook his head, "I don't feel anything."
Zhao Jue glanced at Bai Yutang again, "Try put it on?"
Bai Yutang wondered why he had to wear it himself?
At this time, Bai Ye walked in outside the door and sat down on the sofa beside Bai Yutang.
Chen Xiaofei glanced at Bai Ye curiously, then went to Bai Yutang, thinking, are these two brothers? What a magical genetic gene!
Bai Ye took the mask and said to Bai Yutang, "Try put it on."
The movement here also attracted Zhan Zhao's attention, and he looked back.
When Bai Yutang saw that Bai Ye also called him Dai, it was probably not a prank by Zhao Jue, so he reached out to take it.
After receiving the mask, Bai Yutang frowned.
Zhao Jue asked, "What do you think!"
"This mask is really annoying!" Bai Yutang muttered, unwilling to put the mask on, but just when the mask was about to touch his face, Bai Yutang suddenly took it away and frowned and stared at the mask.
"What's wrong?" Zhan Zhao was curious.
"Is it an illusion..." Bai Yutang said to himself, then put the mask close to his face. This time he didn't feel anything strange.
After wearing it a little, Bai Yutang took it down and returned it to Zhao Jue, saying, "I don't feel anything."
Zhao Jue smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and took the mask.
Captain Bai quickly stood up and went to the bathroom to wash his face.
Turn on the faucet, Bai Yutang, who was standing in front of the mirror, stared at the faucet that was flushing, raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror. I didn’t know if it was really an illusion, but the moment I first came into contact with the mask, a chill rose from the soles of my feet, and a strange sound could be heard in my ears, like the devilish aura in a horror movie. Bai Yutang never believed in these, but the feeling of being there was something uneasy. How could he think too much?
In the SCI office, Zhan Zhao came over, picked up the mask and looked at it. He also tried it on it. He didn't find anything wrong, so he asked Zhao Jue, "What's wrong with Yutang?"
Zhao Jue shrugged, "Your little tiger is more sensitive, um."
Zhan Zhao looked at him suspiciously.
