"Good! I want you not to leave this room for three days, nor to tell the three sisters of the Ye family about it, and concentrate on looking for this mask. "
"I promise you."
Two people's hands together, Tang Qi also did not expect to cooperate with red aunt.
Tang Qi goes downstairs to say goodbye to Ye Yao. He sees a middle-aged man on the sofa, wiping his sweat with a handkerchief. It must be Lin Ping. As expected, he was put back by Honggu, but fan Hu was no longer here.
Brother Liang ran to him and said in a low voice: "master, fan hugang has just been killed. We were killed with one knife. We were dragged out by them before we could stop us. "
"As expected, he is of little use to both of us." Tang Qidao.
Lin Ping didn't get much hurt, but his hair was a bit disordered and his face was haggard. Seeing Tang Qi coming down, he quickly held on: "I heard you saw my daughter? It doesn't matter how she is, does it? "
"Don't worry, uncle. She's OK. Ye Yao, you and brother Liang send him back to meet Lin Yunshan. "
"And you?" Ye Yao asked in a hurry.
"I'm going to stay here and deal with something." Tang Qi said with a smile.
Ye Yao's face changed greatly. She looked upstairs and said, "is someone forcing you to do this?"
"Who can push me? I really have something to do. Don't worry, I won't have an accident. I'll be back in three days. " Tang Qi sent them out: "just tell Mickey that something happened to me and I'll go back soon."
Ye Yao said in a low voice, "I'll ask someone to help you..."
Tang Qi laughed and patted her on the shoulder: "I'm not kidnapped by them. Why do you want to save me? Go
After seeing them off, the door of the villa is directly closed, and Tang Qi turns back.
Ye Yao was very worried. After reporting to the above, they photographed people and cars guarding around, but they didn't dare to go in and act rashly. When Tang Qi returns to the villa, red aunt has put on her sports clothes and comes down. She clears all her subordinates out and only stays with him in the room. Honggu is holding a wooden box in her hand, which is full of professional detection equipment: "although I used it many times, I still got nothing, but maybe you have clues after using it."
"Don't worry. I'll see what's inside first." Tang Qi went to the front of the masks and touched them with his hands.
When his mind was neutral, he had a hint: Gangsi Ganyu, 1800 years ago, worth 4 million.
Tang Qi blurted out: "what is gangsiganyu?" Although Tang Qi has read a lot, he is not very comprehensive about the foreign jades.
Red aunt looked at him in surprise: "you are so discerning, even South American jade you know? It is a kind of jade growing at the bottom of the South American desert. It is very hard and not afraid of fire. Even if it is still under the desert, there will be no cracks. "
"Is it, the jade is valuable?" "It's OK. It's just that people in South America don't like jade very much. They prefer such magnificent things as agate and gold, so there are not many people interested in them. It's just that in recent years, collectors have begun to buy these things. As for the origin of these masks, I don't know. They were here when I bought this
house. "
"I'm worried that the relative will take away the things in the room without permission," Tang said
"No, the relative of this man is a straw bag. He thinks these are all plastic products and doesn't care at all. What's more, he didn't go back to China in person. He just entrusted an intermediary to go through the formalities. But where do ordinary people think of what's here? " Tang Qi nodded, took up all the masks with his hands, and then piled them up one by one. The masks were all the same size, so they soon closed together. Moreover, because the jade is basically colorless, the ten masks are the same as one, and can't be seen at all.
"What are you doing?" Red Gu doubts of ask a way.
Tang Qi said with a smile: "nothing. I think it's very interesting. You see, ten of them are only a few centimeters thick. The skills of the ancient people are really superb. "
Red Gu snorted: "as I said, there are only three days left now. If I don't find it quickly, I've lost so much money. Do you still want to play? Can you find it quickly?"
Tang Qi said with a smile, "don't be so utilitarian. It's a pity to miss all the beautiful scenery around you just for the sake of that valuable thing. "
Aunt Hong glanced at him and said, "I've seen all these beautiful scenes for ten years. I've seen enough of them for a long time. Can you seriously find something for me? But she really didn't want to push all the time and make herself like a greedy landlady.
Tang Qi took up the mask and aimed it at the position of the chandelier. To his surprise, the jade mask aimed at the white light and reflected a red color, which made him dare not look directly at it. He quickly removed his eyes.
What's the matter? Is there something wrong with the jade or the light?
He asked aunt Hong, "I want to know which of the things here are original and which you added later?"Red aunt pointed to the wall and said, "only one of the lights on it is broken. I've installed it again. I haven't moved anything else. What, did you find anything? " Tang Qi thought about it, then pointed the mask at the lamp, and found that the color was still blood red. It didn't seem to be the problem of the lamp, but the quality of the jade itself reflected the red color, and the man chose too many red parts. It makes people feel very depressed and uncomfortable.
Honggu's phone rings at this time. Seeing the caller ID, she walks out with the phone and greets Tang Qi.
"I have something to deal with. You can look for it here. Call me if you need anything. My men are out there. Don't use any tricks. "
Tang Qi said with a smile: "don't worry, even if I'm smart, I can't hide the 30 kg mask in my clothes."
"Yes. And it's impossible that you'll find the mask after I've been away for a few hours. " She said and went out.
Tang Qi stood alone in the empty hall, holding the masks in his hand, and began to frown and ponder.
Is there any connection between these masks and the one you're looking for? But now I don't know anything about the history of that South American country. It's really boring!
He would like to ask Mr. Qian, but now he has no mobile phone. Besides, he doesn't know.
"Yes! This man is a geographer. Can't he leave a book or a journal or something? " Tang Qi went upstairs in a hurry. And his every move is monitored by the camera in the room.
Honggu's subordinates are responsible for telling Tang Qi everything, in case Tang Qi finds something and doesn't tell her. Tang Qi walked up the steps and went into the room on the second floor. He stopped in front of a bookcase on the east side. The bookcase is more than two meters high. The whole wall is full of bookcases, and the books inside are as vast as a sea. There are so many books on geography and history. Don swept his eyes. These
books have actually been read by Honggu people. So there's no dust on it. According to the classification, Tang Qi found books in South America. Tang Qi took out all the books and threw them on the sofa. One by one, he began to read them. The content is very boring. It's all about history and culture. Tang Qi was not interested in these when he was in school, and yawned when he looked at them.
"If only Mickey were here. She's the best at taking notes, and she'll tell me anything she doesn't know."
Tang Qi fell there, looking at it vaguely.
The man who watched him yawned, and one of them said, "this guy looks like this all night? I can't stand it. "
"I'll sleep for a while. If he moves, you can tell me."
Tang Qi flipped through these books and became more and more sleepy. Just as he fell asleep, a picture suddenly attracted his attention. It was the masks! Tang Qi carefully looked at the following introduction, the original ten thin as paper mask is a kind of sacrifice. When the king was buried, the high priest took out hundreds of such masks in advance and burned them with fire. Then he threw them into the blood and soaked them for forty-nine days. He chose the ones with the same color to stay with the king. So that he can draw blood and live forever.
Tang Qi's heart moved. No wonder I used a mask to shine on the light. What I showed was red. It turned out that it was the blood that penetrated into it.
He continued to look down, and finally found the clue of the golden mask, which had been read many times. Many words had been marked with markers. I don't know whether it was Honggu or the previous traveler.
"The gold mask is made of 33 kilograms of pure gold. It covers the king's body. The inner layer needs to be soaked in venom of snakes and scorpions for 49 days to prevent the body from rotting. Shit! So disgusting. It's bad luck for the king, too. "
Next, the history of these people's funerals is described. Later, it is said that these gold masks are extremely easy to deform, so they should be handled with great care. Others are some other traditional customs. I never mentioned this mask again.
Tang Qi laughed: "more than 30 kilograms of gold will break easily? That's interesting. How is that possible? "
Suddenly he sat up. What if these gold masks, like those jade ones, look like one on the surface, but are actually made of many layers of paper masks?
In this way, the mask is likely to be easily hidden here. So where do these masks hide? Tang Qi throws the book to the side and looks at the picture in front of him. The name of this painting is heaven's punishment. It tells the story of a knight who pretends to betray for his own country and then defeats another country. But because he wants to express his heart, he kills a lot of companions, so he feels sorry for his native land and the king and kills himself.
At first, Tang Qi felt that the composition of the painting was gloomy, but at this time, he felt that the color of the blood in the painting was a little too real. He got off the sofa and walked to the painting.People on the other side of the monitor all watched him warily: "what does this guy want?"
"Who knows, do you want to tell Aunt Hong?"
They saw Tang Qi take out a lighter to light it, then burn it on the painting, and then quickly turn off the lighter. Then Tang Qi turned around and waved to the camera.
"Hard work, I just think it's fun."
They are very nervous, so he has found us! Then, seeing Tang Qi, he went back to the sofa and began to sleep, completely ignoring them.
