Zhou Tong Detective Series

Chapter 83 Zhou Tong Detective Series IV: The Skinner (17)
"To be precise, this is not a rhombus bracelet as you mentioned." Wang Minghan straightened his waist, and at this moment he finally showed a scholar's style, "There is absolutely no such style of bracelet among the people. The shape of the bracelet is rhombus, but the real thing will show different shapes at different angles, and the bracelet can emit magical Sanskrit sounds when shaken under the moonlight. According to the information I have, this bracelet originated from the royal family of ancient Tubo. It is said that this This bracelet is a bracelet that Princess Wencheng collected all the skilled craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty at that time, and personally participated in the design and creation, which has a certain magical power. After the bracelet was finished, Princess Wencheng named the bracelet "Sanskrit Bracelet" and gave it to Songtsan Gampo. Unfortunately, since Songtsen Gampo and Princess Wencheng passed away one after another, this 'Sanskrit Bracelet' has disappeared."

Zhou Tong, Yan Yongjie, and Chang Ning were a little surprised when he said that, because they had never seen the real thing, and they didn't know whether what he said was true or not.

"The information is actually not difficult to find. If you don't believe it, you can go to the classics of the relevant period, and it should be able to prove it." Seeing their doubts, Wang Minghan immediately added.

"No need, we believe what you said. Have you told others about this?" Yan Yongjie and the others didn't have the patience to look through those vast classics.

"I was planning to tell Ning Xi, but last night...you suddenly appeared, so I will only tell you for now." Wang Minghan replied truthfully.

"How much do you know about Ning Xi and Yang Yang?"

"They were my classmates in college, but I went abroad to study as an exchange student in my junior year, so I can only say that I know them, but I don't know them very well." Speaking of this, Wang Minghan suddenly remembered some past events , and continued to add: "However, as far as I know, the two of them were particularly interested in Tibetan culture when they were in college, and they published some research papers, which were well received."

"Can you help us find the papers they wrote?"

"Of course, it's not difficult..." Wang Minghan nodded, and said with emotion: "I never expected that Yang Yang would go to Tibet and find this bracelet. It's unbelievable, unbelievable!"

"No matter what, this is just a bracelet. Is it so important?" Yan Yongjie asked puzzled.

"If this bracelet is real, it will be a major discovery in archaeological and historical research, and its value is no less than that of the Terracotta Warriors!" Wang Minghan became emotional, "And it is said that this bracelet is the key to unlock the 'Seal of the King of Dharma' ..."

"Does Songtsan Gampo's 'Seal of the Dharma King' really exist?" Although Zhou Tong also knew that esoteric religions and skinners were looking for this thing, he had always had a hard time believing that there was such a magical thing in the world, or that it was just A story compiled by later generations for the myth of Songtsan Gampo.

"It's hard to say. I used to think it was just a myth, but now I really found this 'Sanskrit Bracelet', so the 'Dharma King's Seal' may also exist, but it's a pity that I didn't see the real thing. I just rely on the pattern. It's just a guess..." Wang Minghan shook his head regretfully.

Zhou Tong suddenly remembered something, took out the "Six Paths Relic" from his arms, put it in front of Wang Minghan, and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

Wang Minghan stared fixedly at the "Six Dao Relics" in front of him, rubbed his eyes vigorously, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face, he opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Section 15 Sanskrit Bracelet
Chen Siguo didn't know how long he had been in a coma, but a sudden stabbing pain in his head woke him up.

He found himself lying in a small wooden hut, with a dense jungle outside, and gusts of cold wind came in, making him shiver.He tried to get up from the bed, but found that he couldn't use any strength, as if he was anesthetized.

How did I get here?He began to recall, trying to gather bits and pieces of information in his mind about coming here, but in vain.The only thing I remember is that when I was talking with Yan Yongjie, I was suddenly grabbed from behind by someone, and before I could react, I felt a strong electric current, and then I was stunned.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the cabin.

Chen Siguo immediately held his breath and waited and watched.

The door of the cabin was pushed open, and a thin and thin figure walked into the room slowly.

"You finally woke up. I didn't expect the medicine to be so powerful." A gentle voice said sweetly.

Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Chen Siguo never thought that the person who kidnapped him was Ning Xi, who was like the girl next door.

"Ning Xi...do you know that assaulting the police is a felony?" Chen Siguo looked at Ning Xi who was smiling all over his face, and couldn't think of better words to say for a while.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you, but now, I have no choice but to do so." Ning Xi said while closing the window, and then lit the fire in the room, and the room became warm immediately.

"Why do you have Yang Yang's bracelet?" Chen Siguo found a hand-painted map in Ningxi's room. This map depicts Century Park, and there is a prominent mark on the map.He was curious for a while, and came to Century Park according to this map, and unexpectedly dug out Yang Yang's diamond-shaped bracelet on the marked ground.But before he could tell Yan Yongjie about this discovery, he was attacked and passed out.

"It's a long story, I know what you're suspecting, but her disappearance has absolutely nothing to do with me." Ning Xi sighed and sat down on a wooden chair.

"Since this is the case, why do you attack me? Just explain clearly to the police. As long as you tell the truth, I can guarantee that you will never have any trouble." Chen Siguo hoped to convince her.

Ning Xi shook her head resolutely.

"Impossible, I don't trust anyone now."

The more Chen Siguo listened, the more confused he became, and finally couldn't help asking: "What happened?"

Ning Xi picked up the cup on the table, took a sip of water, and said, "This starts with Yang Yang and I when we were in college. Both of us are students of the Department of Social History, and we are both particularly interested in Tibetan culture. , so we often research and discuss together. Once, when we were doing a topic about Tibetan Buddhism together, we accidentally found clues about the whereabouts of the 'Sanskrit Bracelet' in ancient Tibetan Buddhist books."

Having said that, Ning Xi took out a bracelet from his pocket.

"The diamond-shaped bracelet you mentioned is this bracelet. Its real name is 'Sanskrit Bracelet'. It was made by Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty. You can't even imagine its magic." She put the bracelet into the water glass Soak it for a while, then take it out and shake it gently.

A diamond-shaped bracelet that seemed very simple at first seemed to have life, transforming into blossoming patterns and emitting bursts of clear and melodious sounds.

Ning Xi then wiped the bracelet dry with a cloth, then found some sawdust, and rubbed the bracelet gently with these sawdust.After about two or three minutes, she let go and shook the bracelet again.

At this time, a cold light bloomed on the bracelet again, and against the light and shadow, the falling wood chips were like pieces of snowflakes, fluttering and swaying, and the sound made by the bracelet turned out to be deep and distant this time.

Chen Siguo blinked desperately to make sure that what he saw was not his hallucination.

"This 'Sanskrit Bracelet' is in contact with the five different elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and it can emit five sounds of integrity, elegance, clearness, fullness, and all around. If it is not Who can believe such a thing after seeing it with their own eyes and hearing it with their own ears?" Ning Xi's eyes naturally showed excitement.

"To be honest, if you didn't demonstrate it to me, I wouldn't believe it anyway." Although Chen Siguo couldn't move, the expression on his face was extremely astonished.

"At that time, Yang Yang and I were the same as you. We didn't believe that there was such a thing in the world. We just thought that because of admiration, later generations made an ordinary bracelet a myth, but no matter what, we can find this bracelet. That was a great discovery. So Yang Yang and I began to search for this bracelet based on the clues in ancient books. However, because of the age, although there were some clues, it was still difficult to find. We spent a lot of time, energy and Money, but still nothing. After graduating from university, we had to give up this job because of the pressure of life. I always thought that Yang Yang, like me, had forgotten about it, but within a few years, Yang Yang suddenly quit his job , decided to go to Tibet and continue to search for this 'Sanskrit Bracelet'. But no one expected that about half a year ago, she told me that she found the 'Sanskrit Bracelet' and made some new discoveries." Ning Xi said here, Looking back on the past, I have mixed feelings for a while.

"Did she say what the new discovery is?" Chen Siguo asked with concern.

Ning Xi shook his head.

"I didn't ask, and she didn't tell me. In fact, I have a stable job, and I have a beloved boyfriend. Doing research is a very laborious thing. I don't have the kind of enthusiasm I had when I was a student. But I guess, about this article There must be other secrets hidden in the bracelet, which put Yang Yang in deep danger. So I asked a friend, who is an authoritative expert in this field, to help me continue to investigate information about this bracelet."

"In that case, how did this 'Sanskrit Bracelet' get into your hands?"

"About more than a month ago, I suddenly received a package from Yang Yang. The 'Sanskrit Bracelet' was in the package, and there was a letter." Ning Xi walked up to Chen Siguo when he said this.

"The effect of the anesthetic should have passed. I'll help you sit up first."

Ning Xi didn't wait for him to speak, and supported him to sit up against the head of the bed.

Chen Siguo still didn't have much strength, but he could feel his hands and feet and could move slowly.

"I don't know how to convey the content of the letter, you should read it yourself." Ning Xi said as he took out a letter and put it on Chen Siguo's lap.

Chen Siguo slowly supported the letter with both hands, lifted it up slightly, and only then could he see the contents of the letter clearly.

Creek:

The bracelet in the package is the "Sanskrit Bracelet". I will temporarily store this bracelet with you, and you must keep it safe for me.In addition, never mention it to anyone, no matter who asks you about the bracelet, you don't believe it, don't respond.I still have some things to attend to at the moment, and I'll come back to you when I'm done.If I don't return to Shanghai within a month, please help me find a hidden place to bury this bracelet, don't keep it by your side, otherwise it may cause disaster.

I know you must have a lot of questions, but there are many things I can't explain to you now, and the only friend I can ask is you. I hope you can understand.

I don't have much time, so I will write here.

Sincerely,
salute
The letter was short, illegible, and unsigned.Obviously, the person who wrote the letter was in a very urgent situation and finished it in a hurry.

"After I received the letter and bracelet, I called Yang Yang immediately, but there was no way to contact her again." Ning Xi put the letter away again.

"No wonder you didn't say anything when we asked you about the bracelet." Chen Siguo read the letter, not only did not find any useful clues, but felt that there were more and more doubts.

"At first, I thought Yang Yang was exaggerating, so I didn't pay much attention to it, but later..." Ning Xi showed a look of fear on his face, "Since I got this bracelet, there have been some strange people appearing around, and there are also some strange people at home. It was stolen several times. I didn’t dare to keep the bracelet with me, so I found a remote corner in Century Park and buried the bracelet under a tree.”

"I roughly understand what you said, but why did you bring me here?" Chen Siguo didn't fully believe what Ning Xi said, after all, it was just her one-sided story.

"I hope you can help me!" Ning Xi said eagerly and sincerely.

"help you with what?"

"Help me find my missing fiancé." Ning Xi's eyes were already filled with tears.

"Your fiancé? He disappeared?" Chen Siguo was a little confused, "Even so, I can't help much."

"No, no, you can definitely do it. The blueprint for my buried bracelet is hidden in the sketch, and you can easily decipher it. You are definitely not an ordinary policeman." Ning Xi said with certainty, "After my fiancé disappeared, I was His room, found this."

She hurriedly took out a piece of animal bone from a backpack in the corner of the room, and some strange patterns and characters were densely engraved on the bone.

"I've searched for these patterns and characters for a long time, but I don't have any clues, but I've never seen him have this kind of thing before, so I'm sure it must have something to do with his disappearance!"

Seeing that she was telling the truth, Chen Siguo didn't know how to deal with it for a while. First, she hadn't recovered yet. If she didn't agree with her words, she would get anxious and didn't know how to deal with herself; second, the case at hand was enough for him to Headache, how to investigate a disappearance case again?

"Why did your boyfriend disappear suddenly?" He could only ask tentatively.

"Speaking of which, it still has something to do with Yang Yang, I shouldn't let him go to her." Ning Xi showed a look of remorse on his face, "After receiving the bracelet, I couldn't contact Yang Yang for a while, and this bracelet is too precious. I was worried that something might happen to her, so I asked Yanting to go to Tibet to see if I could find her where she lived."

"Then did he find it?"

"No, about a week later, he came back and told me that Yang Yang was not found. Since I couldn't find it, I didn't think about it anymore, but two days later, Yan Ting suddenly disappeared...We had agreed to get married on New Year's Day, and he It's impossible to leave without saying goodbye... I'm afraid..." Ning Xi was worried.

Chen Siguo still felt that there were too many suspicious points, but the most important thing is to gain Ningxi's trust first.

"No problem, I will do my best to help you investigate the case of your fiancé Yanting's disappearance."

"I'm sorry to bring you here in this way. I know this bracelet is very important to you. I also hope that you can find Yang Yang as soon as possible. As long as you can find Yan Ting, I will give you this bracelet immediately."

Chen Siguo also knew that Ning Xi would not trust him so quickly, it seemed that she was planning to use the 'Sanskrit Bracelet' in exchange.Although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to say, "Don't worry, we will help you find Yan Ting's whereabouts."

Ning Xi nodded gratefully, and said, "The anesthetic on your body will wear off soon. I leave the animal bone here, and hope you can decipher the patterns and words on it."

"You...where are you going?" Chen Siguo looked at Ning Xi who was about to leave, and asked.

"I can't just wait like this. I'm planning to go to Lhasa, maybe I can find some clues." Ning Xi looked back at Chen Siguo with a wry smile, and then walked out without hesitation.

Wang Minghan never dreamed that he would see the legendary "Six Dao Relics" in the interrogation room of the police station.He picked up the seemingly transparent bead with almost trembling hands, slowly rubbed it in his palm, then lifted it up carefully, and examined it carefully under the light.

It took almost half an hour before he slowly put down the "Six Paths Relic", and said with a solemn expression: "If I didn't miss it, this should be a sacred object recorded in Tibetan Buddhist scriptures - the 'Six Paths Relic'."

Zhou Tong smiled, took back the 'Six Paths Relic', threw it in his hand as if nothing had happened, and then asked: "How can you be sure that this bead is the 'Six Paths Relic'?"

Seeing him throwing such precious things around, Wang Minghan's heart almost jumped out of his throat. He quickly grabbed Zhou Tong and said, "I'm not boasting. I have studied Tibetan Buddhism for several years. The achievements in this area are universally recognized, otherwise we would not have achieved today's achievements at such a young age..."

"We know this, but other than that, can you tell us something more practical." Zhou Tong interrupted him rudely.

Wang Minghan was a young man, and he always had a strong self-esteem in this regard. Seeing Zhou Tong's suspicious face, he immediately said, "Of course I have a way to prove it to you..."
