It was already the third day when Lu Yao met Wu Xie, and the meeting place was in Fatty's shop.
As soon as they met, the fat man handed a stack of photos to Zhang Qilin.
"Brother, look at this, is this a mark you left? What does this mark mean?"
Zhang Qilin took the photo in his hand and looked at it carefully, and finally shook his head, "I don't know, this mark is meaningless."
Lu Yao asked: "I don't know what it means. Don't tell me whether it has any meaning. Did you leave this mark? Who else knows this kind of mark besides you?"
Zhang Qilin blinked, "This is my mark, but I don't know if I left it. Even a blind person knows it."
Wu Xie picked up the photo doubtfully, "Could it be that this was left by a blind man? Did he leave this mark to pretend to be a little brother?"
The fat man said in disbelief: "It's impossible, that guy doesn't leave his sunglasses, how can he pretend to be a younger brother?"
Wuxie pointed to the rust on the iron cage, "Chen Wenjin from the sanatorium told me this, but Fatty and I speculated that the rust on this cage should be forty or fifty years old, and it doesn't look like it was used by Chen Wenjin. "
The fat man nodded, "Based on the arrangement, it can be inferred that this cage should have been put into this warehouse for the first time. The earliest label that can be found is from 1958."
Wuxie disagreed with Fatty's reasoning, "The institute was established in 1956. At that time, the building had nothing to do with the institute, and the university only moved to Changsha in the past seven years."
Lu Yao was a little surprised. If he remembered correctly, it seemed that the younger brother had been in contact with Zhang Qishan for 56 years. Is this a coincidence?
"Wuxie, have you found out the last name of the leader who established the research institute?"
Wuxie shook his head. The information about this research institute was very secretive. "I can't find it. I just said that he was an old leader who was originally from Changsha. But there is a rumor that he was one of the founders of the country."
The fat man said meaningfully: "There is very little information about this institute. Apart from the time of its establishment, what actions it has organized, and the list of personnel of the institute, nothing can be found."
Lu Yao hesitated, "But it is impossible for Chen Wenjin to have the strength to leave words on the iron cage. He must have been tortured for a long time to write such a desperate sentence. Why did he leave such a sentence? No one else can see it?" Why not erase it?"
"One more thing," Wuxie took out the seal, "I wrote this seal!"
"And I suspect, it's me."
The fat man asked doubtfully, "What are you?"
Wu Xie took a deep breath, "Those files are just my usual habit of putting things, so I just picked up the information we need, because I usually put important information in that location."
"It was so smooth that I thought I put it there myself."
"Now I really doubt whether I really traveled through time and space to that era, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence."
Fatty lay on the table, "Zhenzhen, if you want to say that, Fatty will help you put together your story line."
"In this iron cage, there is a person who knows you. You may not be here when he is locked in the cage, but he puts his hope in you, because he feels that only you can kill him and free him. In In 1976 or that time period, you went to that corner with that pile of information. You found the message left for you on the cage. At this time, the person in the cage may still be inside, or he may not be there anymore. Anyway, You discovered the secret code. Finally, you sealed the archive."
"That's what you want to say, right? Stop thinking about it, it's impossible."
"If you have existed for such a long time, how could you not have any traces at all?"
Lu Yao smiled and said, "Think about the present first. What did you say you found before?"
"Yes, I asked an old friend of my grandfather's, and he said that this pattern may be a drawing of Yizhuang."
Wuxie took out the drawings and showed them to Lu Yao, "Look at these drawings, every window is very high. The consequence of this is that all the houses have no chance to get the sun, and there is no reflected light. The sun is shining brightly outside. When I was there, it was completely dark inside. In a darkroom like this, there is only one possibility: this house is not for living people, but for dead people."
The fat man said with an exaggerated expression, "You think the old Zhang family is too extravagant. Just Yiyizhuang, they even hired Feng Lei to design it."
"It would be a pity to turn such a large area into a charity village."
"You can't think like this. How strong was the Zhang family back then in the Yizhuang designed by Xiang Lei? Will ordinary things be placed in this place? This is the ancestral tomb of the Zhang family!"
The fat man rubbed his hands, with a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face, "Brother, don't blame Fatty for being unloyal. If I accidentally bring something with me, I won't fall out with you. The only one to blame is It’s my fault that you have too many treasures. I’m a tomb robber, and thieves never leave anything empty.”
Zhang Qilin looked at him calmly, "It doesn't matter, as long as you take it with your life, I won't settle the score with you."
The fat man's eyes widened and he said in disbelief, "Are you threatening me?"
Wuxie patted the fat man on the shoulder and said, "Stop playing tricks. You forgot that the old man also introduced us to a buyer."
Lu Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, "Isn't the buyer he introduced to you named Huo? The location is set to be at the Crescent Hotel?"
Wuxie looked at him in surprise, "How do you know? Did the fat man tell you?"
Lu Yao waved his hand, "Of course not, you two came in together, how could he have time to tell me this? I guess you don't think that Chen Wenjin's video tape was only sent to you and your third uncle, right? Huo Ling Their family is what they want, right? Their family is a combination of Jiumen and high-ranking officials."
"So you think this buyer is Fairy Huo from the Jiumen Huo family?"
"It's almost the same. When is your date set?"
"The day after tomorrow, there will be an auction at the Crescent Hotel. Huo Xiangu asked us to meet at the auction."
Lu Yao took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Xie Yuchen, "We need to prepare something, otherwise, we may not even be able to get through the door of the Crescent Hotel."
The fat man nodded repeatedly, "That's right."
The auction at the Crescent Hotel was not something that ordinary people could enter. The three of them now had a lot of money. They got the invitation to enter the Crescent Hotel through Xie Yuchen.
Fatty is a native of Beijing, so he naturally knows the Crescent Hotel. The Crescent Hotel is the place where real Beijing antique connoisseurs stay. Compared with here, Liulichang, Panjiayuan, etc. are just street stalls.
However, not everyone can enter the Crescent Hotel. In the past, this was a place for old eunuchs and foreigners to do business, and formal attire was required for entry and exit. Therefore, even if you are the richest man in the country, you can't get in even if you are wearing shorts.
So, if you want to enter the Crescent Hotel, the first step is to give me a few decent suits.
Now the brothers are also rich. Xie Yuchen recommended a century-old store, and one person got a high-end suit that fit well. Don't think that this is a face-saving project or a wasted effort. The doormen at the Crescent Hotel are all knowledgeable people. Rich people have poisonous eyes. If they are wearing cheap suits, they will definitely not be able to enter easily.
After listening to Fatty's words, Wuxie felt that it made sense, so she chose a more luxurious suit.
On this basis, Lu Yao told Fatty and Wuxie: "In the Crescent Hotel, there are listening slaves and stick slaves. The listening slaves have extraordinary ears. As long as you are within the scope of the Crescent Hotel, no matter how noisy the environment is, you can They can hear everything you say clearly, so in the Crescent Hotel, you have to be careful when speaking."
"Wu Xie, after meeting, the old lady will definitely make things difficult for you. Don't be afraid. We have money now. Even if you destroy the Crescent Hotel, we can afford to pay for it. But there is one thing. After entering, you will I don’t have any money.”
"The old lady is a genius. If you look a little arrogant, she can count all your net worth for you."
"After entering the Crescent Hotel, just forget about what we gained in Tamutuo."
This is not his bad taste. Although the riot at the Crescent Hotel is really interesting, it is true that this old lady is a seductress. If she really shows off, I will light the sky lanterns. I'm afraid it's really I want to put all my wealth in the Crescent Hotel.
