Chapter 66 The Lost 1964 (3)
Guo Hong nodded and sent Tang Feng and Han Jiang out. Tang Feng stepped out of Guo Hong's office, and suddenly turned around and asked Guo Hong, "Mr. Guo, is this the highest floor of the building?"

"Yes!" Guo Hong was puzzled.

"Then Qi Ning jumped off the building above?" Tang Feng was thoughtful.

"Well, the roof platform above, Qi Ning jumped from the roof platform." Guo Hong said.

"Is there a passage to go up?" Tang Feng asked.

"There is a stairwell, but since the police investigated the suicide case of Qining, the property has sealed that door, and now no one can go up."

"Oh! Can you tell the property owner to open that door for me?" Tang Feng suddenly made this strange request.

Guo Honglue thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I'll call the property right away."

Han Jiang didn't understand what Tang Feng meant, but he thought that Tang Feng must have his reasons, so Han Jiang followed Tang Feng into the dark stairwell.

Tang Feng's feet landed heavily on the first step, making dull footsteps in the empty stairwell.This voice made Tang Feng feel extremely depressed. In front of his eyes, Qi Ning kept walking up the steps like this at the last moment of his life...

[Second section back to the origin]

1
The passage gate leading to the roof platform was not only locked with a big lock, but was also completely sealed by pieces of wood. Tang Feng and Han Jiang waited here for a while, and two guys from the property company rushed to the gate with tools.It took a long time for the two strong guys to finally remove all the wooden boards on the gate. One of the guys handed Tang Feng a bunch of keys and said, "This is the key to the two locks on the gate. Open it yourself." , People have died here, we won’t accompany you up there, after you’re done using it, just lock the door and give the key to the person on duty at the door!”

After finishing speaking, the two boys disappeared into the stairwell in a flash. In the stairwell, the original calm was restored. Tang Feng first used a key to unlock a chain lock, and then used another key to unlock the original lock of the gate. , This is a rusty iron door. With a sound of "squeak-long!", Tang Feng slowly pushed open the iron door, and a ray of strong winter light shot straight into the dark stairwell.

The iron gate was fully opened, and Tang Feng stepped on the insulation layer of the roof. It didn't snow today, but the roof was cold and windy. Five minutes later, Tang Feng found the location where Qi Ning jumped off the building by virtue of his memory. Tang Feng stuck close to the side of the building, poked his head out carefully, and glanced downstairs, "Qining jumped from here", thinking of this , Tang Feng felt dizzy for a while.

Tang Feng retracted his head and began to carefully observe the place where Qi Ning jumped off the building. The ground here is a bit messy, and several stone slabs used for heat insulation have been broken. Suddenly, Tang Feng found something strange under a broken stone slab. Stretched under the stone slab, there was a letter hidden in the gravel under the slab. Tang Feng took out the letter and looked at Han Jiang in surprise. Han Jiang was also surprised, "After Qining committed suicide, Have the police checked this place?"

"It must have been negligent at the time!" Tang Feng couldn't wait to open the letter. Some parts of the letter were blurred due to the rain, but it didn't prevent Tang Feng from seeing the general content of the letter clearly...

Tang Feng finished reading the letter with a serious face, and handed the letter to Han Jiang. After reading the letter, Han Jiang immediately called Zhao Yong: "Come to the roof of Yunzhong Building immediately!"

"What? The roof! Who jumped off the building again!" Zhao Yong was astonished.

"Don't talk nonsense! No one jumped off the building!" After Han Jiang finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

When Zhao Yong arrived, Tang Feng wanted to analyze the content of the letter to Han Jiang, but Han Jiang interrupted him, "I'll talk about it when Zhao Yong arrives. Now I'm a little confused. I want to explain the whole thing from beginning to end." Wisp by strand."

So, Tang Feng and Han Jiang sat beside the building, both lost in thought. By the time Zhao Yong arrived at the top of the building, they had already sat in the cold wind for more than half an hour. Many things, from the auction to Wang Kai's death, one by one, one by one, at this moment, in the minds of Tang Feng and Han Jiang, pieces of jigsaw puzzles that were once blurred are gradually being connected together.

"What are you two doing? Could it be that you can't think about it!" Zhao Yong joked.

"Humph! Humph! Don't curse me, I have never thought about it in my life." After Han Jiang finished speaking, he put the letter in his hand into his arms.

"Hehe, then what are you two doing sitting here together? It's scary to watch!" Zhao Yong asked.

"Think about it!" Tang Feng said.

"It seems that you have made a new discovery." Zhao Yong heard the implication sensitively.

"Unfortunately, we are one step too late!" Tang Feng smiled helplessly.

At this time, Han Jiang jumped up from the ground and explained to Zhao Yong: "I called you here today, just to talk to you and Tang Feng about this matter from beginning to end. Here is Qi The place where Ning committed suicide by jumping off the building, let us go back to the origin, the origin of the whole thing, and the grand auction."

back to the start?Back to that grand auction?The scene of the auction that day suddenly appeared in front of Tang Feng's eyes, and that was also the beginning of all his nightmares!He said to Han Jiang slowly: "Yes! We should analyze the whole thing from the origin. That grand auction? Huh! That was a terrible auction! The people who appeared in that auction, I know that at least three of them have died, Qi Ning, Liang Yunjie, Wang Kai, I escaped death, and there is a blond woman who is the one who hunted us down, what... all this is going on?"

"Isn't it because of that jade screen? Blood Curse! Hmph! I believe it a little bit now." Zhao Yongdao.

Han Jiang ignored Zhao Yong and asked Tang Feng instead: "Have you met Wang Kai before?"

"I've seen it! He was present at the preview before the auction, and at the auction. At the auction, he sat on the rostrum, probably responsible for recording! However, I don't have any special impression of him. There can't be any relationship." Tang Feng replied.

"Oh! At the auction...?" Han Jiang tried his best to recall everything at the auction, but he didn't have any impression of Wang Kai in his mind.

"Tang Feng, is this a bit strange?" Zhao Yong suddenly thought of something, "I remember you once said that in the auction of the jade screen, the blonde woman and Liang Yunjie finally bid. After Liang Yunjie reached a high price of 1000 million , the blond woman was hesitant, but she still raised her card at the last moment, but at that time, Qining seemed to have seen something at the small gate on the sidelines? He panicked and dropped the hammer early! Is that so?"

"Yes! The scene was quite chaotic at the time. Many people may not have noticed this detail, but I would never have misread it. Qi Ning hurriedly dropped the hammer and glanced at the small door next to him. His eyes were filled with fear. I immediately turned back to look there, but saw nothing, only saw the door shake twice, I thought that Qining must have seen someone, a person who frightened him..."

"And this person wants him to take a picture of the jade screen for Liang Yunjie." Han Jiang interrupted suddenly.

"I thought so too, who could this be?" Tang Feng asked.

"This is strange. Since we have determined that Wang Kai represents the mysterious organization that has been chasing us, and he manipulated the auction of the jade screen, then Wang Kai was on the rostrum at that time, and the person who appeared at the side door of the auction hall The person Qi Ning fears so much is not Wang Kai, who else could it be?" Zhao Yong expressed the doubt in his heart.

"Yeah! Is there another group of people?... No! No! If Wang Kai represents that mysterious organization, then who does the blonde woman who bid with me at the auction represent? She and Stephen have been hunting us down People, she also represents that organization? This...what the hell is going on?" Tang Feng's mind fell into chaos.

"This is really strange, Wang Kai? A blonde woman? A mysterious figure who suddenly appeared? And Liang Yunjie who was stabbed to death?" Han Jiang also couldn't figure it out. He took out the letter in his arms and handed it to Zhao Yongdao : "You should read this letter first!"

Zhao Yong took it, and after reading it, he was shocked and said, "Where did you find this letter?"

"Just now, here, where Qining jumped off the building, in a hidden place under the heat shield, we didn't find this letter." Han Jiang was a little annoyed.

"Both of us have been here after the case happened, but we just looked around casually. We didn't expect this matter to be so complicated at the time. At that time, it was just an ordinary case and it was handed over to the police." Zhao Yongdao.

When Han Jiang and Zhao Yong were talking, Tang Feng opened the letter again tremblingly. Rather than saying it was a letter, it was better to say that it was a death sentence for Qi Ning.

This is an ordinary A4 paper with a few words printed in ordinary black ink——

Mr. Qi, what you did at the auction made us extremely disappointed. We regret to inform you that your life has come to an end, and your wife and children will leave this world with you. Think about it , your beautiful wife, your lovely son, they will all end such a beautiful life because of you.

You should think about it carefully and don't try to call the police, otherwise, we cannot guarantee the safety of your family.

There was nothing on the envelope, no stamp, no zip code, no sender, no recipient, "What's going on? Why is there nothing on the envelope of this letter?" Zhao Yong asked.

"It goes without saying that Wang Kai must have done it. He printed the letter directly, and then put the letter in Qi Ning's desk, or other places where Qi Ning can see it. Qi Ning may be the auctioneer. The next day, or maybe that night, I saw this letter, so I chose to jump from here the next morning." Tang Feng explained.

"It was this letter that killed Qi Ning!" Zhao Yong sighed.

Han Jiang said: "It's not that this letter killed Qi Ning, this letter was just the last bullet shot at Qi Ning. I also agree with Tang Feng's judgment that this letter was written by Wang Kai, so the question From the content of the letter, combined with the situation we have already grasped, it is Wang Kai who directed the auction of the jade screen on behalf of that mysterious organization. What is their purpose? For money? Obviously not, obviously, this organization The purpose is not for money, but to get all the jade screens, and then uncover the secrets of the jade screens, and get the treasures of the Xixia Dynasty."

"That's right, but this can't explain why they went to great lengths to plan this auction? It can't explain the blonde woman either?" Tang Feng said.

"It's really strange. If their purpose is to uncover the secret of the jade screen, and go directly to decipher the text on the jade screen, and find several other jade screens, why go to such lengths to organize this auction? They What is the purpose..." Han Jiang fell into deep thought again.

"No matter what their purpose is, judging from the later situation, this auction exceeded the plan of the mysterious organization, and the jade screen was finally bought by Liang Yunjie. This is what they don't want to see." Zhao Yongdao.

"Well! This is also certain. The auction result was beyond the expectations of Wang Kai and the mysterious organization! That's why Qi Ning was forced to commit suicide, Liang Yunjie was stabbed to death, the battle in Hong Kong, and a series of subsequent events. matter." Tang Feng said.

Han Jiang waved his hand and said, "Not necessarily. My intuition tells me that what happened later was not necessarily due to the auction result that exceeded the expectations of the mysterious organization. Some things were destined to happen. Of course, in the end, Liang Yunjie bought it." It was indeed beyond the expectations of Wang Kai and that mysterious organization, so they quickly took a series of remedial measures. On the one hand, they forced Qi Ning to commit suicide. Therefore, the purpose of forcing Qi Ning to commit suicide was not to make the police suspicious, so they did not take revenge on Qi Ning's family; So that group of people never succeeded, and when they attacked in Hong Kong, we arrived in time to prevent them from succeeding."

"The captain is right, but I still don't understand. How to explain the blonde woman at the auction?" Tang Feng thought of the blonde woman again.

"That blonde woman, I really can't explain it now... Maybe she is just a pawn pressed by the mysterious organization at the auction. As I said before, although we don't know the purpose of Wang Kai and the mysterious organization planning and directing this auction Where is it, but one thing is for sure, they don't want the jade insert screen to fall into the hands of certain people, such as Liang Yunjie, so they may also place some people at the auction, and spend a lot of money to buy back the jade insert if necessary Screen." Han Jiang speculated.

After Tang Feng listened, he shook his head and said, "This explanation doesn't make sense. Since he deliberately arranged for that woman to bid for the jade screen to prevent it from falling into his hands, why did she hesitate in the end? This is illogical, and that The financial resources of the mysterious organization should be much richer than Liang Yunjie, and the jade screen is so important, if you want to win it, 1000 million should not be a big amount for that mysterious organization."

"Yes! That doesn't make sense." Han Jiang also admitted Tang Feng's point of view.

"Also, you just said 'they don't want Yuchaping to fall into the hands of certain people', who is your so-called 'specific person'? Liang Yunjie is! What about me? If I bought it, then, did it exceed the expectations of Wang Kai and that mysterious organization? They will also come after me?" Tang Feng asked back.

"If you bought the jade screen, I think they will make trouble for you in order to get back the jade screen." Han Jiang said.

"But if they take the jade screen to be auctioned at the auction, they will risk being bought by others, unless they arrange for someone to bid in the audience, surpassing all bidders, and the blonde woman obviously failed to do this. .” Tang Feng really couldn’t figure it out.

"I can't figure it out either. I've said a lot, but the problem has come back. Wang Kai and that mysterious organization have tried their best and risked a lot to plan the auction of the jade screen. What is it for?" Han Jiang Rubbing his swollen temples, he asked helplessly.

Tang Feng thought for a while and expressed his opinion: "Perhaps there is another possibility that the blonde woman was not arranged by this mysterious organization, at least not at the time."

"Oh, Tang Feng, why do you say that?" Han Jiang frowned.

Tang Feng shook his head, "I don't know, it's just my feeling. That woman is obviously in the same group as Stephen. They hunted us down on behalf of the mysterious organization behind them, but we haven't seen the true face of this mysterious organization so far. I think Stephen It’s not really the man behind the scenes, there should be someone else behind the scenes.”

Han Jiang listened to Tang Feng's deduction and nodded, expressing his agreement, "Go on."

"We assume that the blonde woman who appeared at the auction was not arranged by the mysterious organization, so can it be said that the mysterious organization doesn't care much about who bought the jade screen in the end?" Tang Feng said.

"What about Liang Yunjie?" Zhao Yong asked.

"Liang Yunjie is obviously an exception!" Tang Feng said affirmatively.

"You mean, those people just don't want Yu Chaping to be bought by Liang Yunjie, but they don't really care about being bought by other people? Liang Yunjie is what you call 'certain people'?" Zhao Yong said in surprise .

Tang Feng nodded, "Well, it's entirely possible, I have this feeling - if I or someone else buys the jade screen, in the eyes of those people, it doesn't seem to be the worst ending, maybe , there would be no subsequent suicide by Qi Ning. Only in this way can we explain why Qi Ning’s frightened expression before he finally dropped the hammer! Of course, this is just my intuition, and there is no conclusive evidence.”
