Thinking of the end, my head was also numb, so I just fell asleep. It was already afternoon when I woke up, and after eating the food Qin Yiheng had packed, I wanted to sit down and discuss with him how to go next. Unexpectedly, before I could speak, he told me one thing first. He went out to inquire again while I was sleeping, and got a shocking news: the developer of the real estate we went to the night before was also named Yuan Zhen.
I was surprised when I heard that, isn't this a coincidence? He also nodded and said that he was also very surprised at the time, so he inquired carefully again. He didn't expect that this Yuan Zhen not only had the same pronunciation as that Yuan Zhen, but even the words were the same, but there was a big difference in age between the two. The possibility of being alone can be ruled out. As he said that, Qin Yiheng also showed me the photo of Yuan Zhen downloaded from the Internet on his mobile phone, which was probably taken at a banquet or meeting.
This Yuan Zhen looked like an elite, with a neat suit, without the philistinism and corrupt belly of a profiteer, rather like a returnee Confucian businessman.
Qin Yiheng also gave some general information about this person while I was watching. He said that there was very little information about this person, and after inquiring for a long time, he only knew that he was in his fifties and was not a local, and he didn't know anything about the rest. However, this is also a very normal phenomenon. Rich people usually have no sense of security now, and most of them will keep a low profile.
Hearing what he said, I took a few more careful glances, trying to match this person with the one who climbed out of the coffin the night before. But I didn't see it clearly last night. If we only look at the body shape, these two people are of ordinary body shape, and there are no characteristics to compare them with. It is really impossible to start with.
I asked Qin Yiheng: "Could this Yuan Zhen be the same person from last night?" He thought for a while, shook his head and told me: "Looking at it now, this Yuan Zhen may have some connection with that group of people. As for him We have no way to investigate whether we personally participated in it. However, I have already searched for the way in advance, and we will go directly to the headquarters of this real estate company to have a look, maybe we can find some clues."
Without further ado, I simply washed my face, heard Qin Yiheng remind me to keep my eyes still, and put on a pair of sunglasses casually, and we moved.
The headquarters building of this real estate company is in the center of the city, which is regarded as the core business district. A building with more than 30 floors was built on a land where every inch of land was expensive, which shows that the company's financial resources are relatively strong. The exterior of the building is quite beautiful, and the large signboards "Hongda Real Estate" gilded on the roof can be seen several streets away. However, I don't know if it's because of the design or because it was cloudy that day. Looking at it from a distance, I always feel that the building is indescribably oppressive.
This building is called Hongda Building. In fact, Hongda only occupies the 26th to 32nd floors, and the rest of the floors are rented out as offices. After entering the elevator, Qin Yiheng warned me: "Don't talk about it later!" Then he whispered to me that he had already greeted me before, and in order to sneak in, he would tell the front desk of Hongda that we are a state-owned enterprise coming to talk A house group purchaser, he took out a stack of business cards from his pocket and handed them to me.
I took a look, and it actually said that I am the office director of a state-owned enterprise. The most fucking outrageous thing is that the name on it is Jiang Erheng!
I get angry when I look at this business card, but it's been a while, so I can only focus on the overall situation. Hongda Group seemed to take our arrival quite seriously, and specially arranged for a small supervisor to receive us. A few people chatted for a while in the reception room, and I don’t know if Qin Yiheng had recited his lines before. Anyway, he kept the supervisor in a daze for a while, and finally answered us. gone.
Taking advantage of this time, Qin Yiheng and I pretended to be looking for a toilet and walked around their office area. The decoration and layout of the office area is not special, just like an ordinary company. Qin Yiheng looked around for a while, but found nothing by looking at his expression. After all, we have a guilty conscience, and we can't be too blatant, so we can only go back to the reception room to exchange opinions.
After entering the room, the two lit cigarettes, Qin Yiheng said: "This company is indeed a bit strange. When we were out just now, I paid special attention to the feng shui level of this company, and found that there was only an empty fish tank in it. There is no water. This is really unpredictable. Nowadays, the richer the boss is, the more he believes in Feng Shui. Many companies have to hire professional people to take care of the fish in Feng Shui one-on-one. But this company just set up an empty fish tank, if Yuan Zhen doesn’t believe in Feng Shui, there’s no need to put a fish tank, it’s better to put a vase to look comfortable.”
Hearing Qin Yiheng's analysis, I also murmured, so I asked him: "Could this be some kind of game?" He was amused after hearing this: "If this is a game, it can only be called a money-losing game. Although this Fengshui fish and this person's five elements and even Yin and Yang must be reconciled to achieve the greatest effect. Not everyone is suitable, but the five elements are called gold and water. This empty fish tank is placed at such a critical feng shui level to drain the water that gathers gold. , isn't it obvious that you don't want to make money?"
According to Qin Yiheng, the big boss Yuan Zhen wants to bankrupt himself? Think you are too rich? Isn't this full of food? I thought about it for a while, and thought that maybe this Yuan Zhen wanted to spend money to avoid some disaster.
However, I didn't have time to ask him. While we were talking, the supervisor came back and called us, saying that the higher-ups wanted us to go upstairs for a more detailed discussion, so they took us to the 32nd floor.
As soon as the elevator door opened, I was stunned—there was a two-meter-high statue of Guan Gong standing straight at the elevator door. It seemed to be made of copper, and it was very valuable. Guan Gong stands with a knife, very majestic. As the God of Wealth, the statue of Guan Gong can be seen in many places. Not only does it often appear in Hong Kong movies, but even many small restaurants now have a statue, which can be regarded as a town house and a fortune. However, this is the first time I have seen such a big statue of Guan Gong. When passing by, I even compared it with my eyesight, and it was three or four heads taller than me, almost three meters.
Qin Yiheng was taken aback when he saw this statue of Guan Gong, but he didn't say anything, just squinted his eyes and stared at it for a while. It's not easy for me to ask him if there are outsiders present, so I can only hold back my words and follow the supervisor into a small conference room.
The person who received us this time was of a higher standard and was a director of Hongda Company. As usual, Qin Yiheng also talked nonsense with him, and the other party also felt that the business was more reliable, so he almost signed the contract immediately. Fortunately, Qin Yiheng had a sense of proportion, and didn't keep fooling around. He just said that we were the vanguard, and the one who made the decision had to be the top, so he withdrew under excuses.
After coming out, Qin Yiheng deliberately stopped when he passed the statue of Guan Gong, and walked around it, not knowing what he found.
I saw no one around, so I leaned over and looked around. This statue is indeed lifelike, with many details in place. But seeing what Qin Yiheng meant, he definitely didn't come to appreciate it, so I asked him in a low voice what he found.
Qin Yiheng turned his head and told me one word in a low voice: "Knife!"
Hearing what he said, my eyes immediately turned to the knife in Guan Gong's hand. The knife is not integrated with the statue of Guan Gong. It should have been inserted into Guan Gong's hand after the whole statue was completed. Other than that, there's nothing wrong with it.
I asked him again: "What happened to the knife?"
He shook his head, made a silence gesture at me, and said, "I'll tell you when I get out later." He then led me into the elevator.
He was so fucking impatient with his tricks, and when he finally got downstairs, I asked him, what happened to the knife
Then he told me: "The knife in Guan Gong's hand has a lot of meanings. Standing on the tip of Guan Gong's knife, it is usually placed in the main hall town house; and it is also a standing statue, swinging the knife downward Like the statue of Zhong Kui, it is used to drive away ghosts and avoid demons; and Guan Gong, who attracts wealth, usually has the head of the knife on the ground and carries the knife behind his back, because he is afraid that the evil spirit of the knife will rush to the road of wealth; The statue of Guan Gong is sitting and standing, and there is a Zhoucang holding a knife beside him, which is called the statue of praying, implying to enlighten all living beings."
"The statue of Guan Gong in this company is the first one mentioned just now. It is used to guard the house, but the strange thing is that the blade that should be facing sideways or facing the front has been deliberately turned to the back. In this way At first glance, it seems that there is no change, but when you look closely, the blade of the blade is forward, and the back of the blade is forward. Let alone the metaphysics, it completely eliminates the function of the town house. From the appearance alone, at least it looks uncomfortable. Just now I took a closer look at the statue, and judging from the dust, the knife has been placed like this for at least a while, if it wasn’t intentional, it should have been discovered and adjusted long ago, so it wouldn’t be put here.”
When Qin Yiheng said this, I naturally understood a little bit, and an idea suddenly popped into my head. When I saw that fake Liu Zizi at Liu Zizi's house before, the Buddha statue in his house was also facing inward. Mom doesn't have anything to do with that fake Cripple Liu, does she? Could it be that he was sent by Yuan Zhen
Thinking about it, I asked Qin Yiheng. He lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said, "I'm not sure what's related, but the purpose of this statue is obvious. I'm afraid even the Fengshui fish tank downstairs was deliberately arranged by Yuan Zhen." , the purpose may be to break the feng shui of the entire building or something, I am afraid it is the same as the Buddha statue in the ancestral hall before, they want to bring something in."
Frankly speaking, Qin Yiheng's last words made me uneasy for a while. This mystery seems to be getting bigger and bigger, and sooner or later I will become nervous.
Now it seems that if you want to continue the investigation, you can only start with this Hongda Real Estate. But for such a big company, it seems that there are many loopholes that can be exploited. If we want to start, we still can't come up with a good idea for a while. I was very tired, so I discussed with Qin Yiheng whether to stop for a while, let's go back and rest for a few days, at least clear up the current clues before we act, so that we can sharpen our knives and not miss woodcutters.
He did not object to my proposal, and he comforted me by the way: "Now that we have touched a big rock, we will see if we can find a chance to lift the rock and see what is under it. Anyway, after a while The stone won't move, so it's right for us to go back and summarize first."
Seeing that the opinions reached a consensus, I immediately went back to the hotel to pack my luggage and prepare to return the next day.
That night, I slept very restlessly. The next day I got up in a daze, got on the plane, and went home after tossing. I almost fainted.
