Chapter 546
After we let him in.

Fatty Xiao pointed at the bag in Feitianzhu's hand and said, "Don't tell us that it contains the ashes of Qidao!"

Feitian's face was full of embarrassment and he showed a flattering smile: "Fat Master is really good at joking."

Since then.

He placed the bag on the table and began to take out money one by one.

A full 20 million in cash.

I asked, "Where did it come from?"

Feitianzhu's smiling face suddenly turned into tears: "High... loan sharking."

Wherever the gambling industry is relatively developed, whether it is stone gambling, string gambling, wood gambling, or money gambling, loan sharking is generally relatively developed. Many loan sharks even wander around the market or casinos, lending money immediately as long as there is demand.

This guy is borrowing money from usury, so he just needs a lesson, and he doesn't deserve sympathy at all.

I asked: "Has the person been found?"

Hearing this, Feitianzhu sniffed and looked very frightened, praying: "Sir, there is too little information about the person you are looking for, and he is very old. I have used all my contacts in Ruili, but I can't find him. Later, I found him. I really had no choice but to use a piece of jade inherited from my family to issue a reward within the industry..."

I immediately stopped him and said, "Get to the point!"

Feitianzhu trembled with fright: "The point is, please give me two more days. I only need two days because Jinning's colleagues have found some clues, but they are not too sure yet."

I saw that his face was full of sincerity, and it didn't look like he was telling lies. I turned to Xiaozhu and said, "Give him some antidote and keep him alive for three more days!"

Hearing this, Xiaozhu stuffed another handful of cigarette ashes into his mouth.

Feitian Zhu left shivering.

Two days are not up yet.

Feitianzhu is here again.

This time he came in a very hurry, as if he had stepped on a hot wheel, his body was trembling with fat, and his forehead was dripping with sweat. As soon as he entered the door, he immediately said breathlessly: "Grandpa... there is news!"

I was overjoyed and asked him to speak slowly and clearly.

Xiaozhu threw him a bottle of mineral water.

Feitianzhu picked it up, drank all the water, wiped his mouth, and kicked to regain his breath.

"The news this time is more accurate! My colleagues in Jinning told me that in their place, before the public-private partnership, there was a jade shop owner named Qidao. This man's original name was Cong Ji, and Qidao was indeed his nickname, but it was not because of The nickname Kai Jade got because of his good swordsmanship is because he has seven centipede-like scars on his face, and the origins of these seven scars are also unusual!"

"It is said that in the early 60s, when he went to Jinning Shizhai Mountain for archaeology with an archaeological team, he was bitten by seven poisonous insects on his face. No matter how hard he pulled the poisonous insects, he couldn't pull them off. In desperation, he cut his face with a knife. He only escaped death after being scratched on the face and killed by insects. Later, after the archaeological team withdrew, he temporarily stayed in Jinning because of poisoning in his body and difficulty moving."

"While he was recuperating, he fell in love with a nurse and stayed in Jinning forever. Later he opened a jade shop, but his jade shop was different from other stores. Others sold jade for money, but he sold jade exclusively. Come to exchange for bronzes, he was quite famous in the industry at that time.”

"In special times, after the jade industry was shut down, people in Jinning still saw him wandering the streets. But 30 years ago, this man disappeared together with his wife, and there has been no news since."

Fatty Xiao looked extremely speechless: "There is no news, just say hell! You might as well bring a bag of ashes to see us!"

Feitian Zhu swallowed his saliva: "Master, please listen to me first. There is no news about Qidao, but we have information about his son."

I asked urgently: "What information?"

Feitian Zhu replied: "The leader of the auction house in Dian Province, Cong Shanshan, is the son of Qidao! I heard that his wealth is considered to be the richest man in Dian Province, but he is known as the most mysterious businessman in Dian Province and almost never shows up. , it is difficult to see him." "We just found out that during this period his main business was concentrated in Teng City, and most of his people stayed in Teng City. There is no other information. You go to Teng City to find him now. , as long as we can find him, we will definitely know the situation of Qida!"

These statements are very informative.

I digested it for a while and then asked: "The old incident of Qida happened 40 to [-] years ago. Why were you able to investigate it so clearly?"

He lied to me once before.

Although I think if I give Feitian a hundred courages now, he won't dare to lie to me, but I still have to cross-examine him clearly.

Feitianzhu said: "Master, to be honest, in order to save my life this time, I almost turned over the pigeon nests in the entire Dian Province. Although this investigative force is very terrifying, because it took too long, no one could find out . Only one colleague in Jinning heard the name Qidao and thought it was very familiar, and thought he would be able to find clues."

"But for a while, he couldn't remember who it was. I was going crazy with anxiety at the time, which is why I asked you to give me two more days. It was no coincidence that when this colleague was watching TV at night, When I saw the news about a bronze auction, I suddenly thought of the name Cong Shanshan. This person was his classmate in elementary school!"

"He vaguely remembered that when he was a child, everyone laughed at Cong Shanshan and called him 'Scar Boy'. Cong Shanshan's father seemed to be called Qida. But because Cong Shanshan had an eccentric personality and had no contact with any of his classmates, No one has his contact information, and it’s even more mysterious now.”

"To this end, the colleague spent two days to find several classmates who were still in contact, and visited the neighbors of the jade shop back then. Everyone's memory information was pieced together, and finally they found out these old things. It was not easy. !”

It's really not easy.

The entire Yunnan Province pigeonhole is stirred.

In the end, I got this information only by chance.

I asked Xiao Zhu to give him the antidote.

Xiaozhu brought him a glass of boiled water and asked him to drink it.

Feitianzhu drank the boiled water and left with a lot of gratitude.

Fatty Xiao asked: "Su Zi, are you sure this Qida is the person we are looking for?"

I replied: "Sure!"

Fatty Xiao asked: "Why are you so sure?"

I explained: "There are four reasons."

"First, the background fits. Jinning is the land of the ancient Dian Kingdom. The ancient Dian Kingdom's 'Golden Seal of the King of Dian' was unearthed in Shizhai Mountain, and a group of tombs were discovered. There was indeed a lot of archaeological activity in Shizhai Mountain in the 60s and [-]s, but they were all public. Qidao's ability to join the archaeological team proves that he has an official background. Xu Zhongmao, the leader of the Sijun family, happens to be a university professor, and Qidao is the Xu family's treasure protector. If Xu had joined the archaeological team that year, Qidao would naturally be able to join the archaeological team. Participate in archeology.”

"Second, the identity is consistent. During the archaeological period, Qida dared to scratch his own face with a knife and cut off the poisonous insect bites on his face. This is definitely not something that ordinary archaeological team intellectuals can do. But the treasure-protecting red flowers are all skilled in martial arts and extremely tough, so they can definitely do it."

"Third, the purpose is consistent. After the archaeology, he stayed in Jinning and exchanged jade for bronze ware, which proved that he did not open the jade shop to make money, but for bronze ware. The mysterious disappearance of the ancient Dian bronze civilization has always been something that experts and scholars are obsessed with, Xu Zhong Mao must also be obsessed with it. I guess Xu asked Qidao to stay here and open a jade shop in order to collect bronzes and study the culture of the ancient Dian Kingdom."

"Fourth, the time matches. Thirty years ago, Qida suddenly disappeared in Jinning. This time period is exactly the same as when Xiuzhong came to find him. It is completely consistent with the practice of the two treasure-protecting Honghuas hiding together."

"Feitianzhu doesn't know any of Qidao's identity and background at all. He can tell so much information that is completely consistent, which proves that it cannot be made up. This time it must be true!"

Sanheizi scratched his head: "Boss, your brain is really...it seems we still have to learn!"

Fatty Xiao rolled his eyes: "Flattery!"

I said: "Without further ado, let's make the city more prosperous!"
