Chapter 005 Shen Donglei
Liu Tieyi turned around and looked at me, signaled us to follow him, and then turned around and entered the secret door.
At this time, Qian Shan and I had already looked straight. I didn't expect that there was such a secret door hidden in the public security bureau building. I don't know what Liu Tieyi had done just now, but the appearance of this secret door was obviously not like what we saw on TV before, touching a certain switch or a simple revolving door.
If I had to describe it, I would rather compare it to magic. Looking at Liu Tieyi's disappearing figure, Qian Shan and I hurried into the secret door, and the wall behind us slowly closed after we entered.
Walking into the secret door, a screen blocked us, unable to see the scene behind the screen, but it seemed like an office inside. Liu Tieyi signaled us to tidy up our clothes a little, then walked inside, and after standing at attention, he said aloud: "Director Shen, I am Tieyi!"
A low voice came from inside: "Come in!"
Liu Tieyi turned sideways slightly, signaling us to walk around the screen, and then followed us.
Once I passed the screen, an office with an area of 60 or 70 square meters was presented to me. The whole office was decorated in an extremely simple manner. The walls were surrounded by bookcases and bookshelfs, and were filled with all kinds of things, including books, cultural relics, animal specimens, and even human skulls. The style of the entire office was completely different from the police station I knew, and even felt inappropriate.
In front of the bookshelf on the side of the screen was a wide office desk. A middle-aged man in his fifties dressed in Zhongshan suit was sitting upright in front of a table, holding a magnifying glass and looking at something. The long table was filled with all kinds of strange things. Even if we came in, we never looked up at us, and were still focusing on the things in our hands.
"Uncle!"
Qian Shan took the lead in breaking the calm, and then walked to the front of the table with a steadily.
When Chen Donglei saw Qian Shan, he was not surprised at all. He seemed to have expected that he would come. He just put the magnifying glass in his hand on the table and said slowly: "Well! San'er, you are here!"
Qian Shan was slightly stunned: "Uncle, do you know I'm coming?"
Chen Donglei smiled faintly: "Don't think that you eavesdropped on my phone outside that day. I definitely know exactly what you are raising your butt and pulling!"
When Qian Shan heard Chen Donglei's words, he laughed awkwardly, while stroking Shen Donglei's table, saying, "I heard that you took office early, so let's take a look at you together!"
Chen Donglei glanced at Wei Shan and said, "Look at me? Can you have such kindness? Are you in trouble again?"
Qian Shanze said helplessly: "Look, I won't go see you, you said I don't have you in my heart, you are ungrateful; now I'll come to see you, you said that my purpose is not simple, alas, it's not easy to be a nephew. When your daughter gives birth to a nephew for me in the future, I will also enjoy the feeling of being an uncle!"
Chen Donglei was immediately angry and laughed out loud: "You guy is poor-mouthed, tell me, what's going on?"
Qian Shan smiled and said, "It's really okay, I just come to see you together, by the way, uncle, you are obviously here,
Why didn’t the people in the mailroom know you when we came up?”
Hearing Qian Shan's words, a very intriguing expression suddenly appeared on Chen Donglei's face. He looked up at Liu Tieyi standing beside him, and Liu Tieyi spread his hands to Chen Donglei, obviously telling Chen Donglei that he did not reveal any news to us.
Chen Donglei nodded and signaled Qian Shan and I to sit down. He did not answer Qian Shan’s question, but said to me with a smile: “You are Chen Qiyuan. I remember that I saw you once when you were young. You should be less than five years old at that time. I didn’t expect that you and San'er both graduated from college in this moment. I can’t accept my old age!”
I nodded at Chen Donglei: "I will call you uncle with my third brother. Don't call me Daming anymore. It sounds strange and weird. Just call me Xiaoqi. My grandfather usually calls me that way. I was still young at that time and I had no impression of it, but I saw you once later."
"Oh? Another time?" Chen Donglei looked at me curiously.
"Well, if I remember correctly, it was when Grandpa Qian was having funeral. You were wearing military uniforms and went with several other people. After worshiping in front of Grandpa Qian's mourning hall, I hurriedly left. Because you came to ride a military car that time, I had a deep impression on me, but I don't know who you are. Later, when I talked to my third brother, he told me that it was you! Compared with that time, you didn't seem to have much change!"
The grandfather Qian I mentioned is Qianshan's grandfather. He died when Qianshan and I were ten years old. When Mr. Qian left, many people came here that I had never known, and Chen Donglei and the others went there late at night. Their group did not feel that they were late, but that they seemed to have gone there at that time. At that time, my grandfather called Qianshan and I away, so I had a very deep impression.
Unexpectedly, after hearing my words, Chen Donglei's expression first appeared, and his eyes looked into the distance, as if his whole thoughts were pulled into that memory. After a moment, he let out a long breath and said, "Yes, it happened almost twelve or thirteen years ago. It was when he was driving away. I didn't expect that your memory was so good. The first time I met you, you didn't know. The second time I met me, I didn't know. Then why would you consider this as the first time we met! However, since it was the first time we met, how could we not have a meeting gift!"
After saying that, Chen Donglei opened the drawer and took out something from it, and handed it to me.
I took the thing and saw that it turned out to be a bracelet. The bracelet is made of bronze, about the thickness of a small arc. There are several things on both sides that can be rotated like a nut. Each side is carved with obscure inscriptions in Yang text. The entire structure is extremely exquisite. As the nut rotates, these inscriptions seem to have different shapes and meanings. At the top of the bracelet, there is a rectangular structure about two or three centimeters wide, and there is also an object similar to a compass embedded in the middle column.
I have never seen anything like this from other places, and I don’t know what the inscription that can be rotated at will have, but I know the thing like a compass: "Feng Shui Compass!"
Chen Donglei nodded: "That's right, I heard that you are learning architecture and have some research on ancient buildings. With this compass, you can calculate the architectural structure and orientation of related buildings based on some knowledge of ancient buildings you have learned! Generally, compass is more troublesome to use, this
Things are much more convenient!”
"Uncle, what do these runes mean?" I hurriedly asked Chen Donglei.
Hearing my words, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Chen Donglei's face: "I also got this thing by accident. The legend from the beginning of the year should be something before the Shang and Zhou dynasties. In addition to the Feng Shui compass I have found someone to identify, and it is extremely accurate, I don't know much about the use of these rotating runes. I have also consulted many people with these inscriptions, but no one knows what they represent. It's useless to stay here anyway. If you can solve this puzzle, it will be considered a matter of my mind."
Although Chen Donglei said it very easily and simply, I know that this thing must be valuable. You must know that the most precious thing on bronze ware in the Shang and Zhou dynasties is the inscriptions. If calculated according to the quantity, the inscriptions carved on this bracelet are definitely more than any cultural relics from the Shang and Zhou dynasties that have been unearthed on the market.
Moreover, even if the value of these inscriptions is not considered, the only hexagonal bronze nuts that can be rotated are definitely not supported by the craftsmanship level of that era.
"Since it's a meeting gift, I won't refuse, thank you uncle!"
From Chen Donglei's words, I could have heard that this thing was definitely not a hasty preparation. It was an excuse to say that it was a meeting gift. Although I don't know why Chen Donglei gave me such a thing, since he had already taken it out, it was hard for me to refuse anymore. It would be better to be casual and accept it directly.
Seeing that I took the thing without hesitation, a look of praise appeared on Chen Donglei's face. Just as he was about to say something, Qian Shan on the side said: "Hey, uncle, you can't be biased. If you give Xiao Qier such a good thing, you have to give me one similar one!"
Chen Donglei shook his head helplessly: "You boy, you really cut off your flesh from me whenever you have the chance!"
Qian Shan and I immediately looked at each other and laughed: "Uncle, I can't do this thing for nothing. In this way, I'll pour you a cup of tea!"
As I said that, I stood up, took the thermos bottle that was placed beside me, and prepared to add some water to Chen Donglei's cup. At this moment, a heat flow suddenly surged from my left arm and reached the back of my head. In a trance, I saw the earth dog that had been dark all over suddenly jumping to the table from the side, with his nose almost touching my nose, and a pair of green glasses staring at me tightly.
In shock, his body pushed back like a conditioned reflex, and the thermos in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Qian Shan, who was standing beside me, was startled and stood up: "Damn, Lao Qi, what are you doing?"
"Uncle, why do you still have a dog here? I was shocked!"
While calming down my heart, I said to Chen Donglei.
However, Qian Shan's words made me confused again: "What kind of dog? There are no dogs? I said Lao Qi, you are not possessed by evil spirits, right?"
I looked at the black earth dog that was already lying on Shen Donglei's table at this time, and then looked at Chen Donglei, but for a moment I didn't know what to say. Could it be that I had some hallucinations like last night?
But unexpectedly, Chen Donglei suddenly said nothing, stared at me with a light flashing in his eyes.
