Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 605 Believe! One day it will be opened!

"That jade ring is priceless at first glance. The texture is very good. It is so dazzling under the sunlight."

"So much so that I could see shadows."

"At that time, I actually saw that he had six fingers."

"But how is that possible? How can a person have six fingers?" Qian Wu shook his head.

Qian Wu said it very casually.

But Qin Wenyuan's eyes suddenly widened.

There was a flash of brilliance in his eyes.

He looked directly at Qian Wu and asked, "You said, he has six fingers?"

Qian Wu said, "I was wrong."

"The texture of his jade ring is so fine that the light it reflects is really dazzling. I thought I was mistaken. After all, how can a person have six fingers?"

Qin Wenyuan said seriously: "Who said that a person doesn't have six fingers?"

"Qian Wu, think about it carefully. Are you really dazzled, or does he really have six fingers? This is very important and directly related to the identity of your superior!"

When Qian Wu heard Qin Wenyuan's question in such a serious and solemn tone, his expression also became serious.

He thought about it carefully, and then said: "It's been too long, and I can't remember it. If it weren't for his jade ring, I might not have noticed his hand."

"At that time, I took a quick look and seemed to see that he really had six fingers."

"It's just that I don't think people can have six fingers, so I always thought I was seeing things."

"Does he really have six fingers?"

Qin Wenyuan's eyes darkened as he listened to Qian Wu's words.

Up to now, Qin Wenyuan only knows that there is one person who has six fingers!
And this person is Beichen, the real controller of Beidou Society who had a drinking contest with Qin Wenyuan!
Beichen has six fingers!
This is the characteristic that Qin Wenyuan knows best about Beichen!
It can now be confirmed that Qian Wu is on the line that belongs to Beichen.

And the mission being carried out may very well be a mission that other people in Beidou Society are not aware of.

In other words, Qian Wu, perhaps, really very likely, is directly responsible to Beichen!

Beichen found Qian Wu, who had nothing to do with the Beidou Society, in order to prevent someone from finding Qian Wu because of the Beidou Society and knowing his other purposes in Chang'an!

wrong!

Qian Wu had just clearly said that his superior had inadvertently revealed the word Beichen.

How could someone as cautious as Beichen reveal the name Beichen?

Could it be... that I guessed wrong?

But characteristics like Six Fingers are hard to ignore.

Qin Wenyuan gradually had a guess in his mind.

Perhaps, the people who came into contact with Qian Wu were actually two people.

One of them is most likely the mysterious person who was in Zhao’s house with Qian Wu.

That person is Beichen's confidant.

The purpose is to monitor and deal with Qian Wu.

The other is Beichen himself.

As the main person in charge of Beidou Society, Beichen will not stay in one place all the time, so he may not appear in Chang'an in time.

Then we need another substitute to meet Qian Wu from time to time to prevent Qian Wu from having other thoughts.

Therefore, when Beichen was in Chang'an, what Qian Wu saw was the real Beichen.

When Beichen was not around, Qian Wu saw his replacement.

If that's the case, then it would explain everything!

Thinking of this, Qin Wenyuan let out a long sigh.

It seems that my luck is really good.

Beichen’s conspiracy almost succeeded.

However, now that the Eight-Sided Lock was in his hands, he felt that if Beichen knew about it, he would probably be so depressed that he would vomit blood, right?
After all, he had been planning for three years, but just like that, he failed.

Qian Wu’s matter is temporarily over.

Qin Wenyuan has done everything he could.

Next, he would study carefully the things his mother left for him.

Qin Wenyuan took out the Eight-sided Lock that Zhao Xun gave him.

He put the Eight-sided Lock on the table.

Han Min saw this strange thing at a glance, and he asked curiously: "Master Qin, what is this?"

Qin Wenyuan said: "Eight-sided exquisite lock."

"Eight-sided lock?"

Han Min walked around the table, looked at it for a long time, and asked uncertainly: "Is this a lock?"

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "Why, you don't believe it?"

Han Min shook his head: "I don't see any keyhole either."

"And this shape really doesn't look like a lock."

Qin Wenyuan looked at the Eight-Sided Lock and said, "Not all locks have keyholes. Lock is just a general term. No one says that a lock must be what we imagine it to be."

Han Min sighed: "It's really weird. Even if it is a lock, what is it locking? How can it be opened?"

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "This is also what I am curious about."

Qin Wenyuan looked at the eight-sided lock carefully.

I saw that this exquisite lock was an octahedron.

Each side is in the shape of an equilateral triangle.

It is divided in the middle, and is completely symmetrical from top to bottom, both being equilateral triangles.

The octahedron is not small, but it is not particularly large either.

The height between the highest point and the lowest point is about seven inches.

Seven inches is about twenty centimeters.

The eight faces of the octahedron all have their own different patterns.

Some of them are painted with flying birds spreading their wings and soaring.

Some of the paintings are of fish swimming freely in the water.

Some paintings show a tiger roaring in the mountains.

Some of the paintings show a horse with its head held high, as if it is about to travel across all the mountains and rivers.

Different faces have different patterns.

The painting skills of these paintings are very lifelike.

Just one look at them tells you that whoever drew these pictures definitely has a pair of skillful hands.

Qin Wenyuan is good at solving cases, but he is not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Therefore, he still needs to consult professionals.

“In many details, such as the finishing touches, they are the same.”

"So, we can infer that these paintings and the person who painted them are the same person."

Qin Wenyuan's eyes flashed.

When he was watching it just now, he felt that there was some similarity.

But he wasn't sure.

After all, he is not a professional, and sometimes he may not feel reliable.

But now, with someone's confirmation, Qin Wenyuan was finally sure.

These paintings were indeed drawn by my mother.

So, are there any connections between these paintings drawn by my mother and opening this lock?

Qin Wenyuan picked up the Eight-sided Lock and felt its weight...

Still has some weight.

About two kilograms.

The eight surfaces of this eight-sided lock are all made of steel. When you knock on it with your hand, you can hear a very crisp sound.

The eight sides of the eight-sided lock are completely stuck together.

Qin Wenyuan didn't see any keyhole, let alone a keyhole, he didn't even see a hole as big as a pinhole.

How do you open this lock? What is the special meaning of the patterns on the eight sides?

For the first time, Qin Wenyuan felt embarrassed.

He discovered that his mother seemed to particularly like playing this kind of game that tested intelligence and eyesight.

Just like the two paintings before, if Qin Wenyuan’s brain wasn’t very powerful, he would never have realized that the two paintings put together would form a map.

So, do these eight pictures contain similar secrets?

Qin Wenyuan chuckled and nodded.

He picked up the paper and looked closely at the picture drawn for him.

The eight pictures are divided into two parts, upper and lower.

The upper part shows flying birds with wings spread, freely swimming fish, roaring tigers in the mountains, and galloping horses across mountains and rivers.

The painting with words below is different from the one above.

The paintings above are all lively animals.

The painting below is completely different.

The first painting shows a small grass that has just broken free from the soil, revealing its pointed buds.

The second painting is a picture of hundreds of flowers, with various different kinds of paintings competing with each other in beauty and fully displaying their grace and elegance.

The third painting is a golden wheat field. Under the setting sun, the warm yellow light falls on the wheat field, making people feel particularly warm.

The fourth painting is a frozen lake in the snow-capped mountains. The color of the lake changes from blue to green from near to far, reflected by the blue sky.

The whole world is frozen!
The four paintings above are of flying birds, swimming fish, tigers and horses.

The following four paintings show grass, flowers, wheat fields, and ice and snow.

Eight paintings, each different.

“What do these eight paintings represent?”

Han Min also stood aside, looking at the eight paintings curiously.

But with his ability, he looked at it for a long time but still couldn't understand the meaning.

Han Min heard this and looked over quickly.

After Qin Wenyuan explained it, he finally understood.

He said, "Isn't it? The grass that breaks through the soil represents spring, the flowers blooming represent summer, the golden wheat fields represent the fruitful autumn, and the ice and snow represent winter."

"If you hadn't said that, I would have never expected that you are really amazing."

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "The meanings contained in these eight paintings are actually very broad."

"kindness?"

Both of them looked at Qin Wenyuan curiously.

Then Qin Wenyuan said, "The following four paintings represent the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. This is correct. You are right."

“And the four pictures above actually have metaphors.”

"The flying birds represent the sky."

"The swimming fish represents the ocean."

"The tiger represents the mountains and forests."

"The horse represents the grassland."

"So, these eight pictures, when put together, represent the sky, the ocean, the mountains, the grasslands, spring, summer, autumn, and winter."

Han Min's eyes lit up as she listened to Qin Wenyuan's explanation.

Sure enough, if we follow Qin Wenyuan’s explanation, it makes sense.

Otherwise, it would be too inconsistent if four pictures represented spring, summer, autumn and winter, while the other four pictures only represented four animals.

But...what's the point of this?

Han Min couldn't help but ask, "What do the sky, the ocean, and so on mean?"

But Qin Wenyuan could understand.

He looked at the eight sides of the eight-sided lock.

No matter which side you turn, you can see a beautiful picture.

And these eight pictures, connected together, are the wishes that his mother left for him.

"I wish you had a pair of wings and could fly in the sky."

“May you, like a fish, swim freely in the ocean.”

"May you be fearless in the mountains and forests, and be able to roam freely even if you are confined to the mountains and wilderness."

"May there be no place in the world that you cannot go, and may the heavens and the earth be so vast that nothing can stop you."

"May your spring be warm, may your winter be warm, may you enjoy the beauty of flowers in summer, and may you have a harvest in autumn."

This is a beautiful blessing that a mother leaves for her child.

Qin Wenyuan looked at the eight pictures with tenderness in his eyes.

Although he never saw his mother.

But he knew that his mother loved him so much.

His mother left him very precious things in different places.

Whether this exquisite lock can be opened or what is inside after it is opened is actually not important.

For Qin Wenyuan, the most important things are the eight pictures above.

It is the most gentle and beautiful blessing that the Goddess of Beidou left for him as a mother.

That’s enough.

As for whether and when it can be opened, Qin Wenyuan is no longer in a hurry.

When he saw these eight pictures, he knew that his mother was not so eager for him to open them.

In fact, the most valuable thing about the Eight-sided Lock is just these eight pictures.

Qin Wenyuan looked at the eight pictures, the flying birds, swimming fish, tigers, horses, spring grass, summer flowers, autumn wheat and winter snow, and it was as if he saw a beautiful figure, gently painting these eight pictures with a clever smile under the soft candlelight.

He seemed to see his son having a headache because of these eight pictures in the future.

She was very happy, as if she was playing a joke spanning decades on her own children.

The eight-sided lock has eight sides because only eight sides can carry all her blessings.

Qin Wenyuan also smiled.

He picked up the Eight-Sided Lock and said, "It's not that easy to open the Eight-Sided Lock. It's getting late now, so don't worry about it."

“When it’s time to open, it will open.”

Han Min was a little dazed when she saw the gentle smile on Qin Wenyuan's face.

They didn't know what Qin Wenyuan had discovered.

But there is no doubt that Qin Wenyuan is in a very good mood at this moment.

Han Min also chuckled: "I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I dare not be lazy without your permission. Now I can finally be lazy."

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "Master Han, we won't bother you anymore."

"Just keep an eye on Qian Wu. Don't be too harsh on him. Don't make a conclusion about his crime for now. I will have someone investigate him thoroughly. It won't be too late to convict him after we have investigated all his affairs."

Han Min nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. I understand."

"Qian Wu has been quite honest just now. I won't be too harsh on him."

After leaving Jingzhao Yin, Qin Wenyuan looked up and saw that the sun had set.

The entire Chang'an city was shrouded in the warm yellow sunset.

He looked at Changle and said, "Whatever you want to do next, I will accompany you."

"what?"

"You've been with me all day. Now that I've done my work, it's time for me to return to you."

Qin Wenyuan said with a smile.

Time flies, and three days have passed in a flash.

Three days have passed since Qin Wenyuan obtained the Eight-sided Lock.

But apart from understanding the meaning of the eight paintings, Qin Wenyuan still didn't know how to open this mysterious lock.

But Qin Wenyuan was not in a hurry.

Since it was left to him by his mother, he believed that one day he would be able to open it.
