Chapter 23 The disappearance of dolls is not the truth
I quickly climbed up the banyan tree and rushed towards the white mist.
The white mist dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally disappeared without a trace. Fang Xing also disappeared with the white mist, leaving not even a shadow.
I stood where she had just stood. The tree was just a tree, and the branches and leaves were just branches and leaves. I could even feel the fragrance of her body still lingering in the air, but she magically disappeared.
"Has Fang Xing become an immortal?" I couldn't answer my own question.
This time, he watched her disappear. He was the only witness at the scene, but he could not explain to others how Fang Xing disappeared.
"Hey, Ye Kai, come down, come down..." Jian Jian shouted under the tree.
I looked around. Everything was normal in the entire banyan tree forest. The scene that just happened was like a nightmare, nothing was left.
I waved my hands desperately, but I suddenly felt that although I was an investigator, I did not have any power to solve the fog incident. That was an "inhuman" power that ordinary people would never be able to explain clearly.
I came down from the tree and landed with a thud.
"Fang Xing disappeared. Where did he go? What did she mean by the last words she told you? Are the Yin-Yang dolls really monsters? Ye Kai, do you want to inform the police, do you want to mobilize more people, and thoroughly Search this place..."
There are many simple words, but my mind is dizzy, like a frozen potato, and I have lost the ability to think.
"Call the local meteorological department to find out the cause of this mysterious white fog. Based on previous examples, if we continue to investigate, will it disappear like Fang Xing..." Back in the car, my mood was stable After a while, he ordered simple things to be done.
"Ye Kai, the dolls are all gone, and the combination between us is not interesting, so let's just break up!" Simple's face looked bad, and his mood became impatient.
I didn't force it, I just looked at her gently.
I simply sighed and called the weather department.
The other party's answer was beyond my expectation: "There has never been white fog, and there is no similar record in the Banyan Forest. We have high-altitude aerial footage that can be publicly displayed to you. Make an appointment by phone before coming, and it's available on weekdays."
I was sure I saw Fang Xing disappear, but the white mist came and went quickly, and I couldn't connect them with any strange cases.
Jian Jian smiled wryly and hung up the phone: "Bai Wu came so strangely, it seems to have been specially designed for Fang Xing. If Bai Wu captures Fang Xing, the others won't matter."
After such a strange incident happened, everyone was in danger, and the atmosphere inside the museum became extremely strange.
The simple appearance deepens this feeling.
Kasha first called to make an appointment, and then came to visit her in the room.
Her face was very haggard, and her eyes were covered with dense blood stains.
"Mr. Ye, we are also sorry that something like this happened. Miss Fang disappeared and your investigation bureau blamed it, which we cannot afford. Now, can you please contact your superiors and let this matter end here? Just treat it as a yin and yang The doll has never appeared, so just pretend that... nothing happened at the museum, lest the news continue to spread and affect the reputation of the museum?"
I understand Kasha's feelings. Qin Chengpei's disappearance will cause huge changes in the future operation of the museum. If Qin Chengpei's little girlfriend becomes the heir, then Kasha will most likely be fired and his career will suffer a setback.
In order to protect herself, she must make some decisions, including hiding information and blocking news, so that the museum can survive the immediate crisis.
"Kasha, don't be so heavy-handed. Mr. Qin may not have encountered an accident. Many worries are unnecessary. Now, the disappearance of the doll proves that there are still many unsolved mysteries waiting for us to explore. It is extremely unwise to terminate the operation blindly.
——”
Kasha suddenly became emotional: "No, it's not unwise. You are an outsider and don't understand the dilemma I am facing at all. What Mr. Qin's little girlfriend hates the most is his encounter with immortals in the snowy mountains, and now there is a doll...
...Before Mr. Qin disappeared, Vivian had said many times that she would chop the doll into pieces and scatter the ashes into the rivers. Now that Mr. Qin is missing, what should I do if Vivian asks me for the doll?
How to do it? You are outsiders, you are all outsiders, only I have assisted Mr. Qin for many years... Do you understand what I have lost? Do you understand? "
From her angry expression, I suddenly realized that the relationship between Kasha and Qin Chengpei was not just that of general manager and chairman, but a deeper connection.
When men start their own business, they like career-oriented strong women like Kasha. But after their careers become stable and they gain fame and wealth, they like young and beautiful girls.
Kasha grew up to be Qin Chengpei's right-hand man, but could not keep his heart.
Whether it's a doll or a snow-capped mountain fairy, they are the thorn in Kasha's heart that she can never pull out.
"Kasha, I will try to find Mr. Qin, at least until his death is confirmed. You are the general manager of the Giant Wood Museum and have supreme power. Making good use of this power is what you need to do now, right?"
I tried to calm Kasha's emotions and prevent the situation from getting out of hand.
At the moment, because of Fang Xing's mysterious disappearance, I feel extremely uneasy and can't find a breakthrough to solve the mystery. Therefore, I need a powerful ally instead of creating another strong enemy for myself.
"You——" Kasha was speechless.
I got up to make coffee and give Kasha some time to calm down.
It was quiet outside, and the work in the museum seemed to have come to a standstill. No one was coming or going, and there was no shouting or shouting.
In the distance, there are big green trees and lush grass under the trees. There are more than a dozen colorful birds jumping and flying back and forth on the treetops and on the grass.
"Xanadu... It turns out that Xanadu is not stable either. In this world, the most unchangeable thing is constant change... Qin Chengpei, Fang Xing disappeared, the snow mountain avalanched, the doll..."
I suddenly realized that Fang Xing was missing, but the doll did not appear at the explosion site.
No matter how violent the explosion is, there will always be some debris left behind.
We cannot conclude that the Yin-Yang doll has disappeared just based on Fang Xing's words.
What's more, it is not an easy process for Fang Xing to take away the doll. Only someone inside can coordinate with her before she can succeed.
I turned around and looked at Kasha from a distance.
She covered her face and sobbed, and the strong woman's armor had been completely removed. I didn't want my guess to come true, because Kasha had already given enough to Qin Chengpei, and I didn't want to add insult to injury and reveal her secret.
"Kasha, it's okay. I believe that Mr. Qin, with his good fortune and good fortune, will come back safely." I told her loudly.
Kasha shook her head, took out a tissue, and wiped her eyes hard.
I walked over with the coffee and pretended to sigh intentionally or unintentionally: "It's a pity that the Yin-Yang doll is missing. Mr. Qin will definitely be furious when he comes back. If this incident is caused by Fang Xing, there will be a conflict between our Antique Investigation Bureau and the Giant Wood Museum.
It may cause disputes. If possible, I still hope to expand the search scope and find some evidence that the Yin Yang doll disappeared in the vehicle explosion. What do you think?"
Kasha's face was blank and she didn't respond.
I guess that Fang Xing stole the doll with the help of Kasha. The reason why Kasha did this was to extinguish Qin Chengpei's evil thoughts, so that Qin Chengpei would be relieved and finally give up those young and beautiful girls and follow her
Together, they live in seclusion in the Giant Wood Museum for the rest of their lives.
An excellent investigator must first be a psychologist with a keen eye. In my eyes, all of Kasha's psychological activities and external actions are almost transparent. I can understand all the connotations of her subconscious actions.
"I don't know. Mr. Qin came back from meeting an immortal in the snowy mountains. He was searching in the forest like crazy, as if he was possessed by a demon. I could only listen to him and mobilized many people, including people who are familiar with the 'Son of Heaven' Saw' -"
Kasha suddenly stopped talking because she said the words "Emperor God Saw", which must have been a slip of the tongue.
I remained calm and just drank coffee with my head down, making the other party think that they didn't understand what she said at all.
"I helped him find a big tree, and finally found the Yin-Yang doll. In my life, I just want to make him happy. As long as he wants to do something, I will try my best to help him complete it. This time, it is the same, but when
The first time he saw the doll, I realized that I was wrong. He fell in love with the doll. That kind of love came from the heart, as if he had loved the doll for three lifetimes and would continue to love it. I used to be so
I longed to be able to have Mr. Qin look at me like that, even if it was only for one night or one second... I knew that I was wrong. I should not look for the doll in the ancient Bodhi tree at all. That would only make Mr. Qin's
My heart is getting further and further away from me, I hate it, I hate it..."
My guess is absolutely correct, but I am not happy because this matter is extremely unfair to Kasha.
She fell in love with a man she shouldn't have loved, spent half her life and gained nothing. On the contrary, Qin Chengpei let his behavior go, hurting Kasha again and again.
"Okay, I understand, but you shouldn't help Fang Xing steal the Yin-Yang doll. Now, can you send the doll back and end this matter?"
I didn't give Kasha a chance to breathe and directly revealed her trump card.
Kasha was stunned, raised her head suddenly, and stared into my eyes.
Her eyes were filled with blazing anger, but I remained unmoved. I just smiled calmly and greeted her glare.
"Kasha, this is not a trivial matter. The appearance of the doll is a warning from nature. Do not involve your personal emotions in the war of the century. Send the doll back and I will take it to the Antique Investigation Bureau to end this as soon as possible.
Only by doing this, Mr. Qin can be saved, right?"
I can understand Kasha's thoughts and lead her back to the right path step by step.
Outside, someone walked quickly and knocked gently on the door.
I opened the door and standing outside was Kasha's female secretary.
The female secretary smiled politely at me, and then whispered to Kasha: "Boss, I have a guest who wants to see me, and we made an appointment before. Is it convenient for you to meet me now?"
I don't want the conversation with Kasha to end here, because she hasn't given me a definite answer yet. The best outcome would be if we can pursue the victory and settle this matter.
"Guest, please wait a moment. Mr. Ye and I have a few words to say," Kasha responded.
The female secretary left, and Kasha stood up and spoke with extreme hesitation: "Mr. Ye, if...if the doll comes back and you take it back to the investigation bureau, will it stop causing trouble? Mr. Qin comes back and there is no doll.
I will definitely be furious, but I wonder if...if I blame the loss of the doll on someone else, such as you, would that be feasible?"
She was very smart and could agree to my request, but at the same time she put forward the condition of "passing the blame".
"Of course, you can blame it on me. I will explain to Mr. Qin, and it will never affect your status in his heart. Fang Xing and I went to the Giant Wood Museum to resolve conflicts. What you did is very appropriate.
