Tang Dynasty detective

In Yangzhou's second village purchase case, what was lost was a precious pearl.

Di Jinghong moaned and groaned for a long time, reluctantly, and finally agreed to take the case.Their family, Ziyu, is willing to pick it up, what can he do?What's more, there are two "second-hand goods" threatening, helping, and instigating, and he has no choice but to accept it.As soon as Zhang Yuqing heard that there was another case, his eyes lit up with joy, Zhang Yuqing's eyes lit up, and that idiot Liu Boen followed him.

Bloodlines are really amazing. For example, Zhang Yuqing, all his ancestors were generals, and his peers were all galloping on the battlefield. Although he was the only exception, he couldn't stop wanting to toss about every day. As for Bading Guanlanshi, he really likes to solve cases. It is really uncomfortable if there is no case for one day, it is difficult to sleep and eat if there is no case for two days, and it collapses and messes without a case for three days.

Di Jinghong was convinced.The one in their family is similar to Zhang Yuqing, the only difference is that when receiving the case, Yen Ziyu is low-key joyful, while Zhang Yuqing is high-key madness.

In the final analysis, the big difference is not bad. In Di Jinghong's view, it's all because of brain problems.

Rest comfortably for two days, isn't it good?

The owner of this case is an old woman in her 50s, Mrs. Yang.

Mrs. Yang asked four judges to meet, the house where they met was hidden in the alley, the house was not big, it should be a side house, and asked them to meet in a side house, this was to keep a low profile.

Although Mrs. Yang is a bit older, but seeing her beautiful features and eyes, she must have been a beautiful woman in the early years.Mrs. Yang wore a brocade jacket with wide sleeves and a wide body, embroidered with Lingyun patterns. The patterns were woven with gold threads.The delicate and soft jewelry she wears is also extremely expensive. Zhen Ziyu can estimate the price with his eyes. It can be seen that the jewelry is of the highest quality. A pair of jadeite bracelets in one hand can buy an ordinary piece of jewelry. House.

Who is such a noble person?

Yang said, "The lost bead is very valuable, and I have troubled the four judges."

Zhang Yuqing said: "The judge next to me is named Liu Boen, nicknamed Xuanming Painter, copying can be fake, please describe the shape of the orb, Madam, and let Brother Boen draw it."

Yang looked at Liu Boen, his eyes were full of admiration, this kind of affirmation from the elders made Liu Boen quite proud.She didn't think about it, she looked at it for a while, but finally shook her head and said, "Just ask this... Xuan Ming painter to draw the box."

What's the point of losing the bead and drawing the box?

Zhen Ziyu got up, bowed his hands and said: "Madam, if this treasure is stolen by someone, the thief will definitely abandon the case and guard the pearl. After all, orbs are easier to hide and carry, so we may only find that jewel in the end. Please return it to Madam." Excuse me, please describe the orb."

Yang spoke slowly, with a gentle accent unique to Jiangnan women, and said with a smile: "This judge is so handsome."

ha?

Yen Ziyu stood in the hall with a dazed expression, talking about investigating the case, why did he catch sight of his face?Di Jinghong put down his teacup, and his voice was a little loud. When Zhen Ziyu heard this, the idiot was about to get angry again.

Zhen Ziyu was afraid that Di Jinghong's angry speech would contradict Yang's, so he quickly changed the subject, "Ma'am, this is a good idea, please ask Bo En to draw the box while drawing the orb." He is also an employer, and he is kind and easy to handle.

Yang seems to be gentler to Yen Ziyu than to Liu Boen, not like an employer or a judge, but more like a mother to her child, and a very patient mother.Seeing what Zhen Ziyu said, Yang said unhurriedly: "If you want to find the pearl, you must also find the box." She gently reminded Zhen Ziyu, "It is clearly stated in the purchase document."

Zhen Ziyu understood, he remembered that there seemed to be a sentence written in the document for buying the case, but they all focused on the orb, no one thought that this Yang family was serious and wanted the box.Yen Ziyu had no choice but to respond first, and said, "Madam, we will do our best." There is no way out, what thief would run around the world with a big box?It would be nice to get the beads back.

Only then did Yang nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Then I will thank you..."

Yang looked at Liu Boen, Liu Boen quickly replied, "Liu Boen."

Yang described the shape of the lost object in detail, and Liu Boen carefully drew it.Only after the painting was finished did the four of them understand that it was no wonder that she wanted to retrieve the box containing the orbs. According to her description, after the completion of the drawing, it was a double-layered jewelry box of wood carving and white jade. It was exquisitely crafted and decorated with white jade and gold carvings. A piece of treasure, and the shape of the orb in that box is even rarer.

Yen Ziyu understood why Yang had to meet so low-key.

According to Yang's description, the shape of the orb is like a luminous pearl, a rare natural gemstone that can be seen clearly by the human eye in the dark and can emit light by itself.

Yen Ziyu knows that Ye Mingzhu was also called "Suizhu" and "Moon Pearl" in ancient times, and it is said to be a treasure with mysterious power.However, Jin Jiuqi explained to him that the luminous pearls are just some stones in the earth, which have formed luminous substances after tens of millions of years. After processing these luminous stones, they have formed priceless luminous pearls. , orange red and other colors, put the beads under the light at night and take a photo, it will emit beautiful fluorescence.

Ye Mingzhu is very rare and precious. Most importantly, this kind of pearl is the most mysterious treasure in ancient times. It is exclusive to the imperial power and cannot be kept privately by ordinary people.Judging by Yang's attire, although she is very noble, she is not a relative of the emperor, and should only be a wealthy businessman.

No wonder they traveled all the way to Guanlan and spent 100 taels of reward to invite Guanlan judge to come out of the mountain.For her, this bead is not only a rare treasure, but also related to the safety of her home.

Yen Ziyu seemingly casually said, "Ma'am, may this orb you lost emit light?"

There was a sudden silence in the room, breathing was clearly audible.

Zhang Yuqing lightly kicked the toe of Zhen Ziyu's shoe to remind him not to talk nonsense.

Yen Ziyu glanced at him, and did not intend to apologize to Yang tactfully.

In the period of the Republic of China, treasure hunting was their unique skill of "Nine Wonders Detective". What Jin Jiuqi taught him was that since he wanted to find the lost property, he must first know all the details about the lost property. If the owner did not cooperate, "Nine Wonders Detective" Don't answer them at all. In Jin Jiuqi's words, "You, go to whoever you want. Go slowly, don't send me off." It's so domineering.

No one in the room spoke any more.

Yang did not answer Yen Ziyu.After a while, she said as if nothing had happened: "Four judges, do you understand what the lost things look like?"

When Mrs. Yang said this, the four of them knew what they were talking about, they didn't deny it, they just admitted it.

The thing she threw was Ye Mingzhu, that's right.

Zhen Ziyu said: "Understood. We still want to know where the item was originally placed, when it was lost, who may have come into contact with it, and the personal situation of these people. Then, we still need to go to the scene where the item was lost to see one look."

Yang called a servant she brought with her, and said, "Xiao Dezi, please explain carefully to the four judges." Xiao Dezi responded, and Yang got up to say goodbye to the four, and left first.

After Mrs. Yang left, it was Yen Ziyu who asked questions.This little Dezi, who looked to be in his twenties, must be clever and scheming to become Yang's confidant, Yen Ziyu was also cautious when questioning him.

According to Xiao Dezi, Yang's orb was lost five or six days ago. No one can tell the exact time, because the orb has been kept in Yang's residence and locked in a special cabinet for storing treasures. lost.There are at least 30 to [-] maid servants who serve Yang Shi on weekdays. It is reasonable to say that they are all Yang Shi's confidantes, but it is really uncertain who is suspected.

Yen Ziyu asked him, "Who has the key?"

Xiao Dezi said: "Only Madam has the key."

Yen Ziyu asked, "Does the lock show any signs of damage?"

Xiao Dezi said: "No."

Zhen Ziyu said, "When can we go and see the cabinet where the orb is locked?"

Xiao Dezi said: "I can take you there later, but... you can't go like this."

According to Xiao Dezi's request, in order to keep a low profile to conceal others, the four of them changed into the clothes of servants and followed him into Yang's residence through the side door of the mansion.

The mansion is even more imposing than Lu Lin's garden. Even a small side door is magnificent, comparable to the mansion of a general. The four of them walked for half an hour before arriving at Yang's residence, where "Yongfu Garden" was written on the screen wall.The name is a bit vulgar, but the house in Yongfuyuan is also very luxurious.

In this garden, there are two words everywhere - rich.

Di Jinghong couldn't help but asked again, "What's your master's name?" Di Jinghong and others asked more than ten times, but Xiao Dezi just didn't say for sure, and he wasn't really a relative of the emperor. What are you hiding?Even if they are really relatives of the emperor, it's not like people in Guanlan haven't seen them before.

Xiao Dezi said: "Four, this is it." After that, he asked the girl at the door to lead everyone in.

The more Dezi didn't talk about Di Jinghong, the more he wanted to know.Ask you or not say it?There are not many such big gardens in Yangzhou City, so you will know when the young master goes out to inquire about it?

Liu Boen painted the scene, Yen Ziyu opened the locker, and the four of them called the girl who was on duty that day to ask for some details, and they really didn't find anyone suspicious for a while.This kind of wealthy family, housekeepers and women are all good people. If these girls are suspicious, they may have been discovered long ago, and they will not find Guanlan. It seems that the case is not simple.

The four of them were about to leave when a voice came from outside the house, "I came to see my mother, why can't I come in? You have been a little lenient lately, little Dezi?"

Xiao Dezi quickly apologized, "Fifth Lord, don't get angry, it's really Madam who ordered you not to enter, please come back another day."

The man asked nervously, "Mother is sick?"

Xiao Dezi said: "Madam is not in any serious health condition, I just want... to be quiet for a while."

The man didn't ask any more questions, but only said, "It's nice to serve you."

Xiao Dezi responded.

The man's voice was loud, and the four of them could hear it clearly. Di Jinghong raised his foot and was about to rush out.

It's Ouyang Jianguang's bastard.
