"What are you looking for this man for?"

I asked the man.

"Have you seen him?"

The man was obviously very anxious, as if he was afraid that this man would disappear from his sight, but I couldn't be sure whether the man I saw on the train disappeared or died.

Maybe, he is not dead yet.

Li Da Kui looked at me, then at the photo, with an anxious face and a little at a loss.

"As long as you find the Pisces Jade Pendant or this man, as for your father's matter, I will find a way." The man said very firmly, staring at us with his eyes slightly narrowed.

I don't know much about the Pisces Jade Pendant, but the historical data show that it is almost equivalent to a magical piece of jade, which is said to come from an ancient desert country.

It can infinitely copy all living things in time, but it can also destroy people's bodies.

But these are just legends after all. In the 1950s and 1960s, this piece was handed over to the state as a cultural relic and preserved by the museum, so the rumors from the outside world gradually disappeared.

But before that, some tomb robbers and foreign explorers had been eyeing it. From this person, we learned that this cultural relic was extremely precious and there were many unknown secrets in it. As for what was involved, he did not mention a word.

He told us that the jade pendant was stolen. It was stolen from the museum not long ago, and now a secret investigator has been sent to search for it.

"So, I need your help. If you can find the jade pendant, contact me."

After the man said the last sentence, he drove away.

Li Da Kui and I were stunned and at a loss.

"Is there any connection between them?" I unconsciously connected the case of Li Da Kui's father with the jade pendant, and there was something strange about the stopped western archaeological plan.

In the evening.

Li Da Kui and I returned to the house where he lived. It was a two-story house. Obviously, this house was also valuable in this place, although it was still a certain distance from the city.

But it was relatively quiet here.

Many young people working in the city rent houses nearby and then take the bus to work in the morning.

Most of his father's house was filled with old books. Uncle doesn't have many other hobbies, but he loves reading. He has many and diverse books, and he has studied almost all categories.

However, not long after we returned to the house.

There was a knock on the door.

It was already past eight o'clock, and it was dark at this time. I thought there should be no one.

Could it be Mo Lan?

"Who is it?"

I walked over to open the door, but after the door opened, I saw two couriers, and then they looked at me and said, "Please sign for it."

The man handed me a note.

Li Da Kui also came out.

"What is this?"

Li Da Kui was a little surprised.

After signing for it, the two couriers drove away. In front of them was a cardboard box, which was wrapped tightly outside, without any gaps at all, and it was a little heavy.

"Who sent it?"

I looked at the address on it, and Da Kui said he didn't know it.

"Open it first."

A few minutes later, the package was opened, and in front of us was a brass box, which was more like an exquisite work of art than a box.

Because the box was surrounded by human-human patterns and reliefs, it was obvious that this thing took a lot of effort. Regardless of when this thing was made, even if it was a modern work, it can be regarded as one of the best works of art.

After our careful identification, this thing should be at least a thousand years old.

It is not difficult to judge from the shape and the text on it.

But who would send this valuable thing here?

Could it be that my uncle really...

If this thing is discovered, it is estimated that the crime cannot be washed away. Li Da Kui and I quickly carried this thing to the study.

"Open it and have a look."

Li Da Kui stared at me.

However, we tossed for most of the night, but in the end we couldn't open the box, because it was not tied with a lock at all, but arranged with dozens of small mechanisms.

It's like a puzzle.

According to the arrangement above, it is estimated that we will never be able to open it in this lifetime.

"Damn it!"

I patted the box, but it seemed to be empty and there seemed to be nothing inside. Is it strange?

We almost tried every possible way, except to cut the box.

In the end, nothing came of it.

"Ding-ling-ling!"

It was almost midnight, and suddenly, the phone in the study rang.

"Who?"

We were both drowsy, but we were awakened by the ringing of the phone and got startled.

Li Da Kui quickly took the phone.

He frowned.

He seemed to be listening to the voice on the phone, and after two minutes, he hung up the phone and stared at me.

"What happened?"

I had a bad feeling and asked quickly.
