The man's name is Xia Shengsheng, a native of Chengdu, Sichuan.
A week ago, the Chengdu Discovery Museum held an exhibition of ancient jade, and Xia Shengsheng happened to learn that the demand for ancient jade in the market had soared, and he had a plan.
He took out a piece of ancient jade that was heirloom from his family, and thought: The family is also short of money, so he can't break the façade because of money.
So, he decided to take out the ancestral ancient jade and sell it.
Walking into an ancient jade shop, the boss looked at the ancient jade, his expression hesitated for a while, and then he was surprised, and finally said: "This piece of jade is really rare, but the value is not easy to say, can you put a price?" Xia Shengsheng saw the excitement of the boss, so he opened the ** higher, thinking: This time it should be able to solve the problem of bride price.
But just as he came to his friend's house to count the windfall, he heard a conversation, and the friend's son was saying to his friend: "This piece of jade seems to have been stolen before, and ** has been looking for it." Xia Shengsheng was immediately stunned, he didn't expect his Gu Yu to have such a background. He understood the boss's expression because he recognized the stolen ancient jade.
Xia Shengsheng was flustered, he began to recall how Gu Yu got to the house, but found that his ancestral jade slip was actually inherited from his grandfather, and his grandfather had always downplayed it and didn't mention it much.
The next day, Xia Shengsheng came to the ancient jade market again, and Uncle Huang, the owner of the ancient jade stall, had blazing eyes, and he could see at a glance that he was an expert in the ancient jade industry.
Xia Shengsheng walked up to his stall, pretended to glance at it casually, and then showed a smug smile.
Uncle, I have a family heirloom ancient jade that I want to sell here, can you give me an estimate? Xia Shengsheng said as he quietly handed out a piece of ancient jade.
Uncle Huang took Gu Yu and looked at it for a moment, with an unbelievable expression on his face. "It's ......It's a masterpiece and it's worth a lot of money! How can you have such a piece of treasure? His eyes were wide open, as if he had discovered some great secret.
Xia Shengsheng smiled, his eyes flashing with a bit of cunning. "This is my family's ancestral treasure, and it is naturally valuable. I'm short of money for the bride price, so I have no choice but to sell it. ”
Uncle Huang looked at Xia Shengsheng and sighed, "You have to think carefully about selling such a treasure." Yes, I will accept this piece of ancient jade, but the price will have to be negotiated. ”
Xia Shengsheng was overjoyed, but he still pretended to be reluctant. "Okay, then you give me a reasonable **. ”
The two started a fierce bargain, but the final price was not negotiated. Xia Shengsheng turned around and left the ancient jade market with Gu Yu.
However, just after Xia Shengsheng left, a gloomy smile appeared on Uncle Huang's face. He picked up the ** and dialed a number.
A week later, on the way home, Xia Shengsheng unexpectedly met a new neighbor - a girl named Lin Xue'er, hello, Mr. Xia, I am the new neighbor Lin Xue'er. The girl greeted with a smile.
Xia Shengsheng's heart moved, and he couldn't help but be attracted by her fresh temperament: "Are you interested in Gu Yu?" ”
Yes, I have always been interested in ancient jade culture, I heard that you have an ancestral ancient jade in your family, can you let me see it? Lin Xue'er's eyes showed a glint of expectation.
Xia Shengsheng hesitated for a moment, finally nodded, and returned home with Lin Xue'er. When they walked to the living room, Xia Shengsheng took out the heirloom jade. Lin Xue'er gently held it in her hand and watched it for a long time, her eyes flashing with awe and joy. Xia Shengsheng suddenly felt as if a wonderful connection had been formed between them.
Mr. Xia, if you can, can you lend me this ancient jade for a while? Lin Xue'er's eyes revealed a hint of expectation.
Xia Shengsheng hesitated for a moment, and finally readily agreed.
From that day on, Lin Xueer often came to Xia's house to play tea in front of Gu Yu, and the two became more and more in love.
Gradually, Xia Shengsheng found that he had developed special feelings for Lin Xue'er, and Lin Xue'er seemed to have love for him.
Lin Xue'er, I want to tell you that I like you. Xia Shengsheng finally mustered up the courage to confess to Lin Xue'er.
Lin Xue'er listened, her eyes flashed with joy and shyness: "I like you too, Mr. Xia." ”
However, at this moment, Lin Xue'er suddenly said: "I'm sorry Mr. Xia, I have to tell you a fact, I am an expert in ancient jade, and I came here to find the stolen precious ancient jade, and this piece of yours is exactly what I am looking for."
Lin Xue'er smiled and patted Xia Shengsheng's shoulder: "Don't worry, we still have another chance for the baby to play, but next time please keep the matter that I am an expert." ”
Xia Shengsheng smiled bitterly and nodded, only then did she suddenly realize that her understanding of Gu Yu was so profound.
Xia Shengsheng felt that he had been tricked, and couldn't help but sigh"I found out that the real ancient jade master is not me, but you! "Lin Xue'er smiled and said lightly"Actually, I have more secrets about Gu Yu. But let's talk about it next time, and this time I'll go back and prepare my professional tools. "Xia Shengsheng was silently glad in his heart, fortunately his piece of ancient jade was not a fake, otherwise it would be both ugly and misunderstood.
Xia Shengsheng shook his head and expressed his understanding of Lin Xue'er's profession: "Oh, now I understand, it turns out that you are specifically here to find the baby." I really thought I had an ancient jade treasure. However, it really gave me my first taste of being played. ”
Lin Xue'er listened to Xia Shengsheng's words and chuckled: "Actually, I also want to tell you that I am looking for another treasure-the stolen ancient jade talisman, which may be in your house." When Xia Shengsheng heard this, he was taken aback: "Huh? Could it be that I have another stolen ancient jade in my collection? ”
Lin Xue'er was frightened when she saw Xia Shengsheng, and couldn't help laughing: "Just kidding, I'm just joking with you." Actually, you don't have stolen ancient jade amulets in your collection, but if you want, I can introduce you to some of the more precious ancient jade artifacts. Xia Shengsheng listened, exhaled a long breath, secretly rejoiced in his heart, and then laughed, and said to Lin Xue'er: "You joking ancient jade expert, it really makes me overjoyed. ”
Lin Xue'er heard Xia Shengsheng's response, and said with a smile: "That's right, I'm looking for a baby." But don't worry, I'm not here to steal your stuff. Xia Shengsheng was also relieved when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Hey, that's good, if there is really a stolen ancient jade talisman, I will have to move!" ”
In recent days, he has had an inexplicable sense of uneasiness about Lin Xue'er.
Whenever he came home, he could always see her thoughtful look at the window, as if staring at some ulterior secret.
Miss Lin, have you been watching what is going on in my house lately? Xia Shengsheng asked uncontrollably.
Lin Xue'er was slightly stunned, and then smiled faintly, "Mr. Xia, you're thinking too much."
I only looked out the window occasionally, just thinking about something. ”
Xia Shengsheng thought about it, but still felt that something was wrong. There seemed to be indescribable worry in Lin Xue'er's eyes, which made him even more confused.
So, he decided to watch her movements more closely.
A few days later, Xia Shengsheng found that Lin Xue'er's whereabouts had become even more strange.
She always seemed to go out late at night, and whenever she came back, there was always an unspeakable worry on her face.
Xia Shengsheng decided to follow her, he wasn't sure if she had found out, but he felt a strong curiosity pushing him.
Following all the way covertly, Lin Xue'er finally stopped in a remote corner.
Xia Shengsheng was invisible to the side, staring at her intently. At this moment, he saw a shocking scene - Lin Xue'er actually hid a package in a tree hole under the hillside, and then left in a hurry.
What's going on? Xia Shengsheng couldn't help but wonder secretly, he didn't go to check the tree hole immediately, but waited secretly all night.
Early the next morning, Xia Shengsheng went to check as promised, only to see that the package was covered with some blood-covered bandages and medical tools.
Is it ......Is she a first aid volunteer? Xia Shengsheng's mouth opened wide, and the question he couldn't figure out seemed to have found an answer.
However, he didn't realize that the bigger secret was in this neighborhood in Chengdu, waiting for him to discover.
Xia Shengsheng was a little anxious, he felt that he had discovered a big secret, so he began to plan to become a private detective in the community.
Since then, his life has changed dramatically, and he has been snooping every night, as if he has become the head of the "Blue and White Detective Agency" in the Nancun community.
Hey, Mr. Xia, why have you been quietly touching lately? ”
Xia Shengsheng felt a little embarrassed when he heard the voice of his neighbor and friend.
It's nothing, I just think the community has been a little unpeaceful recently, and I'm investigating and solving the case for everyone. ”
Haha, Mr. Xia, you are really a humorous detective, and there are really 'detectives' like you in the Nancun community. The neighbor teased with a smile.
Xia Shengsheng smiled awkwardly, "Hey, I also accidentally found a clue, so I just wanted to investigate." ”
Then you have to be careful not to be taken for a thief or a weirdo, it's a big deal. The neighbor reminded.
Don't worry, I'm not going to mess around. Xia Shengsheng smiled and waved his hand, oh, you are really bold. The neighbor joked, "However, speaking of which, it seems a little strange around the neighborhood lately, and there are always strange noises coming from the night." ”
Xia Shengsheng smiled slightly awkwardly, as if he understood something.
He said to his neighbors, "Well, I noticed it too. Maybe I can help investigate and find out what these voices are.
I'll keep an eye on it. ”
The neighbor nodded in gratitude, then turned to leave.
Xia Shengsheng looked at the back of his neighbor, and secretly made up his mind in his heart, he decided to take advantage of the night to go deep into the community again to find those strange voices.
As night fell, the community became quieter, and Xia Shengsheng quietly slipped into the community.
He searched around carefully, and suddenly a low moan came from his ears, which made him shiver.
