"What about the white petals you're talking about?" Longya walked up the steps and looked down carefully. Those watermarks that looked like footprints had obviously been removed by Li Zhengchang. He was probably really scared, so he wiped them clean without a trace. stay. However, he could indeed feel a little breath here on the stairs.
It's just that the breath is too weak for a human weapon like him, and it's not at the same level.
Li Zhengchang listened to his words and said a little embarrassedly: "It's really scary to keep those things in the house, so I threw them away after cleaning."
"Where did you throw it?" Qi Chen asked, "The trash can downstairs?"
Li Zhengchang nodded: "Well... I woke up in the morning and threw it away after cleaning, but the downstairs trash can is collected at 8 o'clock every night. It should be still there now, you—"
Long Ya's face darkened as soon as he heard it, and it was absolutely impossible to ask him to do things like scavenging garbage. Whoever opens this mouth will lose his head, and he doesn't do it like this.
"Uh...you wait here, I'll go, I'll go!" Li Zhengchang was very aware of current affairs, and when he saw Longya's face, he immediately took the matter to his head, then took off the coat from the hanger, put it on and went out downstairs.
To be honest, Qi Chen glanced at Longya, then at the door that had just been closed, and was very suspicious - even if Li Zhengchang took those petals back from the trash can, this ancestor would be willing to approach? ! Arabian Nights!
"Those petals are very important?" Qi Chen couldn't help asking.
Long Ya glanced at him, then leaned against the window to look downstairs, and said coolly, "It doesn't matter if there are petals or not."
Qi Chen: "..." I know!
"However—" Longya looked at Li Zhengchang's figure downstairs and hurriedly walked to several sorting trash cans, looked at one of them with his head, then rolled up his sleeves, reached out and hooked it twice, and a black trash bag was hooked out. .
The bag looked shriveled, and there was not much in it at first glance.
Li Zhengchang opened his eyes and looked up at his floor-to-ceiling window. Sure enough, he met the sight of Longya leaning against the window. He raised his hand at Longya, indicating that he had found it, then took the bag, turned his head and walked away again. Back in the building.
"Since he is willing to dig it out, I have no problem." Long Ya shrugged, walked back to Qi Chen and said, "This person is much more positive than the previous few. With two more petals, I have a good idea in my heart."
After a while, the hidden door was pulled open.
Li Zhengchang came in with the almost empty black garbage bag and closed the door behind his back. People's fear is not so heavy during the day, not to mention that there are Long Ya and Qi Chen in the room, so although Li Zhengchang was frightened by the things in his hand early in the morning, he still has no legs when he is carrying it. .
He walked to the side of the living room, took out a newspaper on the shelf, spread it out on the coffee table, then put the black garbage bag on the newspaper and rolled it up to reveal the contents.
Apparently, Li Zhengchang's garbage bag was replaced at night before he had time to put anything in it. In the morning, he threw a few petals in and threw it away, so the whole bag was clean, with only the five white petals.
The shape of the petals is no different from most petals. For those who don't know it, it is difficult to tell what kind of flower it is at a glance, and there is no particularly obvious smell. As Li Zhengchang said, every time the petals appeared, there were footprints with water marks next to them, so these petals were soaked with some water vapor, and they were half dry but not wet.
Although there is no other garbage in this bag except the petals, and these petals are not stained with the filth in the trash can downstairs because they are wrapped in garbage bags, Longya is sitting on the sofa with his arms in his arms, and he does not want to reach out and twist a piece. Come see what it means.
Li Zhengchang looked at the petals, and then looked at Longya. For a while, he didn't know what the uncle meant, and seemed a little embarrassed.
Qi Chen is not as particular as Longya, he glanced at the petals and stretched out his hand, just as his thin and thin fingers touched the petals, Longya raised his hand and patted it away, saying: "Okay, take it away. Your paws! You dare to touch these petals without knowing the origin, your nerves are still as thick as ever!"
"I just want to see what kind of flower this is." Qi Chen retracted his hand embarrassedly, and did not stubbornly continue to get it.
"No need to study." Long Ya glanced at the broken white petals and said, "This is a locust flower."
Qi Chen subconsciously wanted to ask, "How do you know?" But thinking about Longya and the others, they only need to rely on the skills of breath to judge the authenticity of antiques and cultural relics, and they still didn't ask.
Whether it's Huijia, Longya, or Shan Xiao... These abnormal people probably all have noses that are smarter than dogs.
But even if he didn't ask, Long Ya knew what he was thinking, and saw him raise his hand and click on the petals of the locust flower, and said to Qi Chen, "The wood ghost is the locust tree, and the locust tree is the tree with the most ghostly energy. One, the flowers that come out also have strands - how hard are you two sniffing your nose! It's like I said you can smell it! I said that your surname is Li and your face is almost in the garbage bag, and the smell is Put the petals in your nostrils and you can't smell them, please restrain yourself a little, don't look so stupid If you have a mentally retarded face, you will be easily irritable. Don't you cooperate with me in this minefield? If you don't retract your neck, you will put that garbage bag over your head and throw it down with you!"
Li Zhengchang shrank back his stretched neck and sat upright, looking as if he wished he didn't have a neck, seeing Long Ya wipe his face, suppressing the anger that was surging in his heart: "I said this is Sophora japonica , your focus should be to sit there and think carefully about anything related to Sophora japonica in your house, throw it away and burn it if you should, instead of going over and checking if there is Sophora japonica Huawei! When I came here a few days ago, I saw that the things in your head were quite stable, why are you stupid now?"
Being ridiculed by him like this, Li Zhengchang laughed dryly and said: "Probably the last few days has been caused by these ghosts and ghosts to make the spirit weaken, and the brain is not good, let the experts see the joke. Speaking of Huaihua— "
After Long Ya reminded him, he nestled in the sofa and recalled it carefully, while thinking about it, he muttered in a low voice: "My lover has had nothing to do for a while, learned embroidery, and embroidered a few pictures of flowers, and there seems to be a locust flower in it. , but she gave it away... By the way, I received a set of porcelain in the first half of the year, and the picture painted on it is a locust flower!"
"Oh?" When he heard the porcelain, Long Ya thought it was right. Maybe he could recruit another employee for Guanghe. He asked Li Zhengchang, "Where's that set of porcelain? Upstairs? Take us to see it."
Li Zhengchang didn't say a word, got up and led Long Ya and Qi Chen upstairs, but he snorted regretfully as he walked: "Do you really want to throw it away?"
There are two bedrooms and a study room upstairs. The collections collected by Li Zhengchang are placed in the study room, some are stored in the cabinets, and some are placed on the shelves. He invited the two of them to come in and explained: "I didn't put them all out. That set of porcelain was put away by me. The city is humid this season, and calligraphy and painting are easy to get wet. The colored porcelain is also damp and bright, so it is easy to be damaged... Here, I put it in this half cabinet in."
The sky was overcast, and it was almost evening, and there was not enough light, but Li Zhengchang did not turn on the headlights on the top of the study, but walked to a wooden cabinet and opened the door, which was wrapped with a custom-made glass. The cabinet, Li Zhengchang fumbled for the button next to him, and turned on the small yellow light in the glass cabinet. Suddenly, there were three porcelain plates of different sizes on the wooden shelf. The patterns painted on the plates were vivid and bright. , very refined.
only…
"..." Qi Chen silently swept the three porcelain plates from beginning to end, then twitched the corners of his mouth and said to Li Zhengchang, "It's not bad, but this flower is yellow."
Li Zhengchang: "… "
Long Ya straightened up, raised his chin at Li Zhengchang with his arms in his arms: "Not only stupid, but also colorblind, there is no help, go downstairs."
As he said that, he took Qi Chen and headed downstairs, leaving Li Zhengchang alone to look at the exquisite porcelain plate with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Then—" Li Zhengchang looked at Longya apologetically: "What should I do?" The only clue he remembered was wrong.
"Wait." Qi Chen looked at Longya, then turned to Li Zhengchang and said, "Didn't you say that everyone in this room will be sleepy at a certain time at night? Let's wait until night to see what's going on. It's gotten a little dark."
This time, Long Ya obviously wanted to catch the pusher behind him. It was impossible to simply go back to Jiang City after the solution was finished. If he stayed here for a while, he might be able to find out more about the purpose and trace of the pusher behind him. Qi Chen just saw what Long Ya was thinking, so he said that.
And Longya obviously agreed, he nodded, and then swept around the furnishings in Li Zhengchang's house: "Okay, before it gets dark, let's adjust your appalling design for you, don't wait until then. Send one away and come again, your day will be lively!"
He said this with no sympathy at all, but full of schadenfreude and ridicule. Li Zhengchang was frightened when he heard it, and he said almost immediately: "Then hurry up, expert, I can't stand the excitement at my age."
Long Ya is such a lazy person, naturally he will not reach out to carry things in person. He puts his hands in his pockets and only gives orders, and does not let Qi Chen be a free coolie for others. Always say one thing, Li Zhengchang will move one. For things, only furniture that is too large or too heavy for Li Zhengchang to handle alone will Long Ya condescend to move his fingers and let the furniture move to the place where it should stay.
Seeing Li Zhengchang stunned, he didn't dare to disobey him.
Originally, everything went in an orderly manner, but when he was moving a drum-shaped wooden flower cabinet in the corner, Longya suddenly raised his hand to block Li Zhengchang's movements. The underground floor, and then he raised his hand to wipe it without being too dirty, and rubbed his fingertips in front of his eyes.
I don't know if he smelled something or something else, but his brows furrowed sharply.
