Chapter 42 Handed down jade seal, clues

The old nine was very pleased: "That's right, Heshibi became a jade seal handed down in the Qin Dynasty, and became the object of competition for several generations of emperors. During the Three Kingdoms period, all parties competed, and finally fell to the Sima family, and finally passed to the Sui Dynasty. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, she was taken away by Empress Xiao and hid in Mobei. In the fourth year of Tang Zhenguan, Empress Xiao suddenly returned to the Central Plains from Mobei and dedicated her jade seal to Li Shimin. As for why she did this, historians Everyone thinks it is for their own future plans. At the end of Tang Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the handed down jade seals were leaked again. Zhu Quanzhong abolished Emperor Ai of Tang Dynasty, seized the jade seal, and built Houliang. Later, Li Cun destroyed Houliang and built Later Tang. .”

I nodded: "In the end, this jade seal was in the hands of Li Congke, the last emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty. Before Shi Jingtang of the Later Jin Dynasty captured Luoyang, Li Congke and his concubine set themselves on fire in the palace, and all their belongings were thrown into the fire. Since then, the jade seal has disappeared without a trace. , I really can't imagine, where is the clue that Master found?"

I carefully sorted out the spread of the handed down jade seals, and I had no idea at all. Suddenly, Meng Luo said: "So, He Shibi was originally a piece of jade, which was later made into a jade seal and passed down to the hands of the late Tang emperor. Disappeared, it may have disappeared into the fire, really, isn't this a dead end?"

I glared at him: "We also want to, but..."

"What did you think of?" Lao Jiu asked.

"He's Bi is jade. What kind of jade is it? Most people think it must be Hetian jade." I said, "However, I have heard a saying that He's Bi is actually this thing."

I patted the Jin Xiangyu beside me: "It's actually the best Jin Xiangyu."

Lao Jiu said, "It's the first time I've heard of this remark."

"I also heard from people in the circle, anyway, it's just hearsay." I suddenly smiled, looked at Lao Jiu and said, "That's why you chose us."

Meng Luo looked at us half-understood, Lao Jiuyi grinned, showing his teeth: "Yes, I will help you find some treasures of Xiang Yu, and you can help me find He's Bi and clear the charges. Anyway, everyone is now People in a boat."

I stretched out my arms, my eyes fell on the window, and I immediately hit zero, stood up from the ground, and walked there: "Nimma, a thief has entered."

"What's wrong?" Lao Jiu asked.

"Just in case, I made some small precautions at home." I pointed to the plug on the window and said, "Before I left, I picked up a long hair and wrapped it around it. If someone jumps in through the window , the hair will definitely break off, and there is also on the handle of the door, but, you see..."

The hair fell to the ground and broke in two. It was terrible. There was no sign of moving anything in the room!

Lao Jiu reminded: "Could it be?"

"Radio!" I rushed into the room immediately, and sure enough, the radio station in the bedside table was gone!
"It's gone, it seems that the accomplices from the expedition team have already come." I said with a wry smile, "Such a neat technique is like a professional."

"Call the police," Munro said.

Lao Jiu and I stared at him at the same time, is this kid really stupid or fake?Munro still didn't think there was any problem: "Don't you want to call the police if you lose something?"

"Go and cool off." I yelled impatiently: "How did your brain grow? We don't know who we are now. Call the police? Be careful to trap yourself in."

Munro's face was pale, he touched his nose unnaturally, and muttered, "You didn't say it earlier."

"Well-trained." Lao Jiu said: "I feel like I'm being besieged now. Qinghu will appear, and this group of unknown people will also come to the imperial capital. Haha, interesting, really interesting."

As soon as he finished speaking, the doorbell rang suddenly, and the three of us looked at each other in dismay. With this hesitation, the doorbell downstairs stopped, followed by my cell phone ringing, and it was Tao Ran's voice who answered the call: " Are you there?"

It’s really about Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, just as Meng Luo was talking about calling the police, this woman appeared strangely. I patted Meng Luo and said, “Stinky boy, don’t talk too much for a while.”

I went downstairs and opened the door of the antique shop, Tao Ran looked suspiciously in his eyes: "Why don't you open the door at home?"

"Officer Tao, we are upstairs. It will take some time to come down. You are so impatient. You just rang the doorbell and you called. What's the matter?"

Seeing me standing at the door, Tao Ran said, "Let's go in and talk."

I moved away reluctantly: "Hua Ji is gone, I don't seem to have anyone you are interested in here."

Tao Ran sneered, "I didn't come here to look for you. What I'm looking for is that boy named Meng Luo."

"You looking for Monro?" I was a little surprised: "What are you looking for?"

"There is a case that I hope he can help." Tao Ran's tone suddenly softened, and even the spider on his shoulder became kinder: "Please contact him for me."

I stared into his eyes: "How can he help?"

Tao Ran suddenly took a step forward, staring closely at my eyes: "What have you been up to lately?"

My heart skipped a beat, where did the flaws appear?Tao Ran proudly said: "I've hit the mark, did you go to another place recently? You're not in the imperial capital anyway?"

"How do you know?" As soon as I asked, I regretted so much that I wanted to bite off my tongue.

Tao Ran laughed out loud, and even her eyes turned into round moons. Realizing that she was too complacent, she stopped immediately and was about to speak when the spider on her shoulder suddenly crawled towards her ear, looking very disturbed , Tao Ran looked at me, and suddenly took out a small box, which contained silver bundles!
Seeing this, my heart sank. In ancient times, there was a precedent for using silver needles to test poison. In fact, when it comes to testing poison, the most effective thing is silver beams. Silver beams are originally a traditional thing of the Mongols. Thanks to the hard work, it can test whether the food is poisonous in the fastest time.

I broke out in a cold sweat suddenly, and there was a layer of sweat floating on my arms. Tao Ran wiped the silver bundles on my arms, and the silver bundles immediately turned black as soon as the sweat got on them!
"Sure enough, he was poisoned." Tao Ran said with certainty, "Where have you been?"

Her voice was full of questioning, and I felt guilty immediately: "I didn't go anywhere, I went to the village in the south of the Yangtze River, and I went there to sweep the goods, and I just came back."

Tao Ran swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "There is no doubt that he was poisoned by the Gu poison, otherwise the little thing would not be so sensitive, there are toxins in the sweat, the poison is so severe, have you been drinking water since you came back?"

As if enlightened, I did drink water on the way back, because I usually love to drink water, I didn’t take this kind of thing to heart, and when I was poisoned, I suddenly remembered that I felt a little bit of pain when I opened the coffin. Butt tingling, could it be that time?

While talking, Lao Jiu and Meng Luo came downstairs. When he saw Meng Luo, Tao Ran's eyes lit up immediately: "It's good that you are here, I have something to see you, but let's deal with Lin Tianyi's poison first. .”

Tao Ran dropped a newspaper: "I need a little time, I'll be right back, you can read the news."

She poked her finger on one of the tofu cubes, turned and left, and after making sure she had gone too far, I said, "I was really careless, it seems that the gloomy wooden coffin was poisoned."

"It's strange, why are you the only one who has been poisoned by the Gu poison?" Lao Jiu said, "We have all touched it the same way."

This is indeed puzzling, but the result is already like this, and there is no need to go back to confirm it. Lao Jiu picked up the newspaper: "Mysterious elevator serial murders. I was away from the imperial capital for a few days. Such a big case happened. Tao Ran did it for this." It seems unusual for Munro to be involved in the case."

I leaned over to take a look: "Four people have died. They are all white-collar workers in the building. The information disclosed in the newspaper is limited. The reporter said that the elevator malfunctioned to death, but it's just a personal guess."

The photo of the building attached to the newspaper, Meng Luo looked very engrossed, his eyes wished to penetrate the newspaper, Lao Jiu also felt it: "What's wrong with this place?"

"You have to see it on the ground to know." Munro said: "It feels a little hazy. The four people who died were all men."

Suddenly, I understood why Tao Ran said that I was no longer in the imperial capital, because this case was so bizarre, I am afraid that the imperial capital would have been widely circulated, but I did not know at all, Tao Ran judged from this, and had to admit that this woman had Everything you need to be a police officer!
Now there is only such a small piece of report, and the details can only be discussed when Tao Ran comes back. Before she came back, Lao Jiu quickly went upstairs and hid our harvest this time. Tao Ran revealed his secrets.

When Tao Ran came back again, he looked confident and took out a small bottle: "Drink it."

It was filled with liquid. Seeing my hesitation, Tao Ran said, "In a few hours, you won't be able to eat anything. You'll drink water until your stomach bursts. Believe it or not."

I put down the bottle: "Then wait and see, if I really can't stop drinking water."

Tao Ran turned around angrily: "I don't know good people!"

Seeing the newspaper on the table, Tao Ran turned around: "The elevator accident reported in the newspaper is fake, because it is an unresolved case, and I just said this in order to stabilize people's hearts. In fact, we found some weird things. The situation cannot be announced to the public, Monroe, I hope you can help."

Munro was about to speak, but I stopped him: "Why?"

Tao Ran didn't expect that I would embarrass her so much, her face was flushed, and the corners of her eyes were moist: "Just because I made things difficult for that woman, are you going to treat me like this?"

"This is two different things. I just want to remind you that favors are not so easy to owe. You have to pay them back after you owe them." I looked at Mengluo: "I can't decide whether to help or not. It's up to you."

Meng Luo actually understood, "I'll help, you tell me what's going on first."

This is exactly what I think. Tao Ran has a special identity and a straightforward personality. He believes that black is black and white is white. Such a person cannot be a friend or an enemy. This favor must be helped.
