Chapter 10 Chapter Seven Theft

I was the first to wake up, and touched the back of my head, which was still aching, and my brain gradually got rid of the vague and chaotic state, and became more logical. I seem to have been knocked out by something, what happened before I passed out?I seem to be amazed, but why am I amazed?Alas, I have a headache, I have to think about it. Just as I was lying on the ground thinking hard and in a daze, the second uncle and Yu Xin who were lying beside me also slowly woke up. The second uncle got up and ran frantically towards the stone coffin not far away. Before I could react, I heard him yell, and then he clutched his chest and moaned.

I hurried over to support him, and asked repeatedly: "What's wrong?" "It's gone, Lu Yu is gone." His face was ashen, and his whole body was trembling. I collected myself and looked towards the stone coffin. Sure enough, there was only a layer of emerald green leaves left inside.Lu Yu's body had disappeared. Ye Yuxin also came over, she didn't seem to care about the body of the tea sage, she just stared at the unknown tea leaves in a daze. I looked around carefully, and my eyes focused on the coffin again. Fragments of anti-theft glass were scattered everywhere on the ground.

I picked up a piece casually, suddenly trembled all over, and hurriedly looked into the stone coffin. strangeness!It was so strange. I frowned while watching, and an unbelievable idea couldn't help popping out of my brain. Ye Yuxin, who was beside me, pulled me hard, and said in a low voice, "Brother Xiao Ye, the leaves in the coffin seem to be a little different." I looked at her in surprise: "What's the difference?" "Look for yourself, the color of these tea leaves seems to have changed." Yu Xin said in bewilderment. I took a closer look and found that the color of those unknown tea leaves had dimmed, and they no longer had the green and dripping appearance when I first saw them.

"It's not surprising, maybe it's because of the contact with the air, which produced some kind of chemical reaction that we don't know about." I replied indifferently, my mind was still full of the thought that just came up. If that idea is true, it means... Impossible, absolutely impossible, that's really weird. "Brother Xiaoye!" Seeing that I was absent-minded, Yuxin yelled, then spread her hands flat and put them under my eyes, "Look at the leaves in my hand again, the one on the left is the one I held in the palm of my hand before I fainted, and the one on the right It was the one I just took out of the coffin. If it really had a chemical reaction with the air, how do you explain the current situation?"

I saw that the tea leaves on Ye Yuxin's left palm were still emerald green, showing no signs of dimming and withering. My brain was shocked, and I couldn't say anything immediately. What exactly made the three of us faint just now?And what happened during the period when we fainted?Someone sneaked in and stole Lu Yu's body? No, judging from the situation at the scene, there are really too many doubts! I walked around the sarcophagus for a few steps, and suddenly stepped on a soft object, nearly falling to the ground. Looking down, he was surprised at first, and then smiled evilly.I'm afraid, I have found the clue!

"It seems inhumane to treat a human being like this, especially a handsome middle-aged man." Yu Xin hesitated. I snorted immediately: "You can tell he's a thief just by looking at him. He doesn't care how inhumane he is to a thief. Look how well his second uncle has done a good job. He has eighteen coils of steel wire wrapped around his leg alone. Don't be idle." , Tie your hands tightly to him, don't deliberately create a chance for him to escape just because this middle-aged man is a bit more handsome." Listening to our teasing, the second uncle Ye Xuan continued to tie the unconscious man with a steel wire round and round with a dark face, as if he was dealing with an enemy who killed his whole family.

"However, we should go to the police first." Yu Xin was still a little troubled. I laughed: "Don't be stupid. If it is really handed over to the police, with the speed of their investigation and investigation, during the initial investigation of the scene, Lu Yu's bones will not be transferred to where. As long as it falls into those stolen goods network In the wide black market, you can change hands immediately, and you can find a fart by then." Yu Xin curled her lips: "I don't believe anyone would pay for that kind of shit." "Xiao Ye is right." Ye Xuan raised his head and said in a deep voice, "The Japanese will buy it. When I dug up Lu Yu's body, an anonymous Japanese bid $70 million on the black market the next day. He Claiming that no matter what method the seller uses to get Lu Yu's body, as long as it is placed in front of him, he will pay immediately. The police must not be involved in this matter, otherwise everything will be over."

"Who doesn't love seventy million dollars!" I patted the face of the middle-aged man who was still in a coma with my hand, "Let's wake him up first, and then listen to him tell his own story comfortably. I was suddenly very interested in his story." Yu Xin asked hesitantly, "How can I wake him up?" "It's very simple." I took a large basin of water from the water dispenser, and then slammed it on his head. This rude method was very effective, only to hear the guy groan, and slowly opened his eyes. Yang Junfei woke up. He looked at the three people in front of him in bewilderment, his brain still not quite adapting to the current environment.

He moved vigorously, but found that he couldn't move at all, and then realized that he was tightly bound. As soon as he understood the current situation, Yang Junfei's sharp eyes immediately swept over the three people inadvertently. The seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy in front of him was looking at himself with a weird smile, that kind of smile was very familiar, and he himself would often smile like this, and every time he smiled like this, someone would definitely be unlucky. It seems that this guy is definitely not a simple thing.Danger!Very dangerous. There is a girl next to the boy, she is very beautiful, she looks at her eyes with three points of nervousness and seven points of curiosity.I'm afraid she is a simple and inexperienced young lady.

The man in his fifties on the far right, his appearance is very familiar to me, is Professor Ye Xuan.The titular owner of the target this time. Seeing the way he gritted his teeth and looked at him, he probably regarded himself as a thief who stole Lu Yu's body. Yang Junfei smiled wryly, although he was indeed counted, but he didn't succeed, at most he was an attempted criminal. Strangely, they didn't seem to call the police. Could it be that they didn't want the police to intervene for some reason? After a little thought, Yang Junfei took the lead, and said first: "There is no need to execute me, and don't use any indiscriminate means against me. Let me declare first that Lu Yu's body was gone when I arrived."

"Empty words, who would believe you? You treat us as three-year-olds." I mocked.This guy doesn't look stupid. "Hmph, why are there almost a few sentences repeated over and over again during interrogation, can you be a little creative, young man, you watch too many serials." Yang Junfei said in the second sentence to test the bottom line of the other party's emotions. There was no reaction, I just smiled indifferently, looked at him and said: "You are a smart man, so you don't need to talk too much nonsense. Using aggressive methods to mess with my emotions is such an old-fashioned way, any third-rate serial drama There are, don’t you never watch serial dramas?” funny guy!Yang Junfei suddenly wanted to laugh, he didn't expect that he would meet someone who could confront him in this situation.It really shouldn't be, that kid is smart, but he is still a little tender. Yang Junfei squeezed out a mysterious smile on his face, looked straight into my eyes, and said, "You should be very clear about whether I'm lying or not. You've discovered it too, right? You must have the same relationship with me. Doubtful, the glass near the coffin is really broken and unusual." I looked at him, snorted, and fell silent. Yu Xin, who was aroused by curiosity, immediately grabbed my arm and asked, "Brother Xiao Ye, what are you talking about?" Second Uncle Ye Xuan also looked at me with some interest. I smiled wryly, pointed to the shards of anti-theft glass on the ground, and said, "Actually, I discovered something unusual just now. These broken glass are indeed very problematic." "What's the problem? I can't see anything." Yu Xin looked at the ground carefully, then shook her head in doubt. "The key is inside the stone coffin." I explained: "When I came, I found that the entire coffin was covered by a seven-centimeter thick anti-theft glass cabinet, and inside the glass cabinet, even air could not penetrate. "Leaving aside the matter of how we fainted, if someone really sneaked in and broke the glass to steal Lu Yu's body, then it is impossible for the glass fragments to just fall to the ground. Under the influence of external forces , no matter what happens in the coffin, some should fall into it, but you can see for yourself..." I patted the edge of the stone coffin vigorously, and Yu Xin and the second uncle leaned over to take a look inside, and couldn't help crying out in surprise. "Found it! There is no broken glass in the coffin. That means..." I swallowed hard and said in a dry voice, "It means that the glass was broken from the inside!" Everyone, including Yang Junfei who was tied into rice dumplings, couldn't help shivering, only feeling a chill rising from the soles of their feet. "Impossible, absurd, too absurd." The second uncle Ye Xuan shook his head, and said with a pale face: "I have been an archeology professor for more than 20 years anyway, and I have never seen any corpses in ancient tombs! If According to what you said, an ancient man who had been dead for more than 1,200 years actually came back to life, and broke a 7cm anti-theft glass with his bare hands. Even normal people can't do this...I don't believe it, absolutely don't believe it !" "People who have been dead for more than 1,200 years will certainly not be able to survive." I looked into his eyes and said indifferently: "But what if the person who comes back to life is not a human being?" "It's not human, so what exactly is it?" Yu Xin's eyes showed fear. In this weird situation, even I felt an inexplicable sense of horror, let alone a girl like her who hadn't experienced any big storms. I tried my best to calm down, and said in a deep voice, "Second uncle, don't you think it's strange? From the fact that Lu Yu's body has not rotted for more than a thousand years, and the tea leaves under his body for more than a thousand years, those unknown The tea leaves are not only weird, but also haven't lost any water. Even now, it still looks like it was picked just now. Its existence itself is already unnatural. In fact, when you think about it carefully, almost everything on Lu Yu's body It is beyond the norm, even if he suddenly came back to life, I am afraid there is nothing strange." "It's really nothing strange. It's interesting. After listening to your analysis, I'm more and more interested in this case." A voice came from behind us. I turned around abruptly, and unexpectedly saw the middle-aged man who was tied like a rice dumpling a minute ago, standing outside the door of the research room, plucking sunflower seeds and eating jujubes.And the door of the research room was closed by him at some point. The guy blinked at me, and said triumphantly: "You brat, you are too young to trap me. Goodbye." After finishing speaking, he quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor. I glanced at the steel wire on the ground and sighed. The smart guy actually asked me to talk about the glass on purpose to divert everyone's attention, and then used a special file to break the thin steel wire quietly. Hmph, I obviously searched his whole body just now, I really don't know where his file is hidden. Seeing that the door could not be opened, the second uncle picked up a chair and smashed it hard.I hastily stopped him. "It is true that Lu Yu's bones were not stolen by that man." I said lightly, "He was also knocked unconscious, so he has no time to commit crimes." "But it's impossible to just let him go, maybe he knows something important." The second uncle said anxiously. "With that man's ability, it's impossible for us to catch him. Don't worry, he will definitely come back to me." I smiled wickedly, took out a ring from my pocket, and gently tossed it up and down: "The premise is that if If this thing is very important to him.” For a man, the most important things are often placed on his body.Especially when stealing things, when he would be in danger if he missed his hand, the man still wore this ring finger that would get in the way, so this thing must be very important. Hmph, but that middle-aged man made me interested. There are more doubts. I didn't expect to encounter so many things when I got off the plane. Before I left, my second uncle said that I would make this trip worthwhile. I dare to carry this type of meaning.Ugh.Headache. Where did that body go? Even if it is a fraudulent corpse, there should be traces to be found.Could it be that besides that man, there are also a group of thieves? My eyes suddenly lit up when I caught sight of something. Where the middle-aged man had fallen, there was a flat and square thing wrapped in blue floral cloth.When I opened it, it turned out to be a painting. "Why does this painting look so familiar?" Yu Xin leaned over to look at it. I said lightly: "This is Van Gogh's classic oil painting, 'The Red Vineyard'. Huh, that middle-aged man is really strange, he actually memorized a painting and stole things. Could it be that he stole more than one family today? ?” "Well, that, may I ask." Yu Xin blushed, and suddenly said, "Who is that Van Gogh you're talking about?" My eyes widened immediately, and I stared at her in a daze as if I saw an alien, and I was so surprised that I couldn't say anything. Noticing my gaze, Yu Xin's face turned even redder. She stomped on my instep and said angrily, "Don't you know he's ashamed? He was instilled with grass and trees by his father since he was a child, and some things are wrong. It's completely normal to know." This!This is also called normal?In this modern era of cultural fast food, who does not know the paintings of Van Gogh.Alas, Uncle Crazy deserves to be Uncle Crazy. He not only tortured me when I was a child, but also treated his daughter as a continuation, torturing me till now. My second uncle and I looked at each other, coughed helplessly, and explained: "Van Gogh's full name is Vincent Van Gogh. He was born in a Protestant family in the Netherlands in 1853. When he was young, he lived in London He worked for art dealers in Paris, The Hague, and later as a missionary among Belgian miners. "Around 1881, he started painting. In 1886, he went to Paris to join his younger brother, where he first came into contact with Impressionist works. He was also influenced by the famous painter Rubens, Japanese prints and the famous painter Gauguin. . "In 1888, van Gogh began expressing strong emotions based on color. He had a brief affair with Gauguin before he suffered a nervous breakdown and was sent to a mental hospital. "After many emotional breakdowns, Van Gogh committed suicide in Auvers in 1890. He was a huge influence on Fauvism and German Expressionism. "In short, Van Gogh was sensitive and irritable, extremely intelligent, and he was rarely successful in many things during his lifetime. "His life was unfortunate and difficult, but he was always devoted to others in love, friendship and passion for art. "When he was a missionary in Belgium, he witnessed the difficult life of the poor and decided to help those coal miners with the greatest enthusiasm. He voluntarily sheltered those miners who were seriously injured and dying, hoping to help the weak to fight with words of comfort and self-sacrifice. However, he was fired after only six months because he was too enthusiastic about his work. "In his short life of thirty-seven years, Van Gogh devoted the most important period of his life to art. "His early paintings loved to use the brownish tone of Dutch paintings, but his natural enthusiasm made him abandon the bleakness and silence of Dutch paintings, and quickly moved away from Impressionism. The state of mind full of subject consciousness is far from it. He grasps the object not by lines but by environment; he re-transforms reality to achieve a tangible reality, which contributes to the birth of expressionism. That is to say, in a word, He was a very great man for the art world, and his paintings are the best sellers of all painters." "Then he was very rich at the time, so he would choose to commit suicide, what a weirdo!" Yu Xin said disdainfully. "I'm sorry, Van Gogh was poor all his life." I licked my lips. "When he was alive, the only painting that was sold was in your hands. It is said that the person who bought the painting spent four hundred francs." "Then this painting should be a fake?" Yu Xin looked at the painting in her hand. I nodded immediately, "Absolutely. If it is genuine, then you are holding at least 200 million dollars in your hands now." "wrong." The second uncle Ye Xuan looked at the painting carefully, and suddenly his eyes were white with surprise. He swallowed the saliva secreted from his mouth vigorously, and said in a trembling voice: "Although my research on painting is not professional , however, the painting seems to be real!" "Impossible!" My whole body was shocked, and I couldn't help shouting, "The authenticity of this painting should now be preserved in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow." "Who knows? Maybe that man just stole this painting from the Pushkin Museum, and then came here to steal my Lu Yu's bones." The second uncle was thinking distressedly. "How likely do you think this is?" I smiled wryly. "If it were you, would you steal a painting worth 200 million dollars? That kind of smart guy logic." "Anyway, I'll take this painting to a friend to check it out, and then it will be clear." Ye Xuan sighed. That's all, I looked at this huge laboratory, too many things happened today, so many that I couldn't find a clue. Many things seem disconnected and less logical. Like that eccentric middle-aged man, I seem to be getting more and more interested in him.
