Chapter 1045 Thirty-Six Manuscripts

Qi Kaiqun climbed up from the opening in the ceiling. The space inside was not as cramped as he had imagined, but a space large enough for an adult to stand upright.

Qi Kaiqun was very familiar with all of this. The reason was very simple. He had tampered with Mo Yu's glasses. Mo Yu did not know that an extremely small camera was installed at the connection between the temples and the frame of his glasses.

As long as he looked at the place, the picture would be transmitted to Qi Kaiqun's mobile phone in real time.

When he came here in the morning, he sent the innkeeper out to buy something for him, and then he entered the space above the bathroom in this way.

This space was reserved by Mo Bingzhong when he designed this inn. From the outside, the top of the inn looked like a spire, but inside the inn, this room was flat-topped, which left a large enough space above.

In the attic, there is a row of antique shelves, on which are placed some antiques collected by Mo Bingzhong over the years. Qi Kaiqun is not very familiar with this aspect, but he always feels that these bottles and jars are not very valuable, because according to his understanding of his father-in-law, if these things are worth hundreds of millions, Mo Bingzhong will never put them on the antique shelves.

His goal is the safe in front.

Qi Kaiqun already knew the password of the safe. When Mo Yu turned the password disk, he saw it clearly.

After a little effort, Qi Kaiqun finally opened the safe.

In the safe, there are several emerald green jade bracelets, all of which are top-grade emeralds with good water head. One of them even reached glass grade.

These bracelets alone are worth tens of millions, maybe even hundreds of millions. Qi Kaiqun certainly wouldn't let them go. He had seen them on his phone when Mo Yu opened the safe, and he had prepared the corresponding boxes to put all the bracelets in.

Then, there was a pile of papers that Qi Kaiqun didn't know what they were about. It was a thick pile, neatly stacked.

When he was monitoring Mo Yu, he had made many guesses about these papers. The final estimate might be some company stocks or foreign real estate deeds.

But when he took out the pile of papers and unfolded the first one, he was stunned.

The paper was very thin, a bit like the kind of paper used to wrap Pu'er tea cakes, with four words written on it, "Ancient Tea Fragrance".

Qi Kaiqun was stunned. He unfolded several pieces of paper in succession, but all he saw were papers with a few words written on them, and he couldn't tell their value at all.

If Shi Lei could see this scene, he would definitely recognize these papers immediately. These were the thirty-six manuscripts in the task issued to him by the black card.

Qi Kaiqun squatted in front of the safe, carefully studying the papers.

The papers were a little yellowed, obviously very old. After checking carefully, he found that on these papers, in addition to the few big characters, there were seals in the lower right corner of the paper.

Qi Kaiqun was a cultured man after all. He quickly recognized that the small seals were all the names or fonts of ancient calligraphers. He thought about it and realized that these thirty-six pieces of paper were all famous calligraphy. However, would calligraphy written on this kind of paper used to wrap tea be valuable?

The cash in the safe had been plundered by Mo Yu. Qi Kaiqun saw Mo Yu put all the cash into his pocket and took it away. The money, perhaps all, or perhaps only most of it, had fallen into the hands of Qi Kaiqun and the boss of the underground bank. It didn't matter whether Mo Yu left a part of it. What mattered was that in the safe, except for the jade bracelets that Qi Kaiqun had gotten, there were only these thirty-six pieces of paper.

After folding the spread papers again, Qi Kaiqun couldn't figure out, didn't Shi Lei and Meng Qi say that Mo Bingzhong exchanged at least half of the money for 500 euros?

Although Qi Kaiqun didn't see the euros when Mo Yu came, he believed that either Mo Bingzhong exchanged the money for something that was easier to store and could be cashed at any time, or he hid the money somewhere else in the attic.

Qi Kaiqun searched the attic very carefully, not missing any wooden board, because there might be a secret compartment under any wooden board.

However, he worked for more than an hour and couldn't find any secret compartment, which made Qi Kaiqun realize that the thirty-six pieces of paper might be priceless, but he had to leave this place first before he could find out what these papers were.

It was meaningless to search any further. Qi Kaiqun had been in the attic for too long. He didn't dare to stay any longer. He put the manuscripts into the bag he brought. After careful observation, he went back to the inn from the ceiling of the master bedroom bathroom.

Carrying his bag, Qi Kaiqun walked down from upstairs and saw the inn's owner sitting in the living room drinking tea. He nodded to him when he passed by him.

The man asked him, "Why are you out so late?"

"Yes, a friend asked me to go to the bar."

"Then remember to come back early. If you come back late, I may be asleep. There is a phone number on the door. Call me and I will open the door for you."

Qi Kaiqun nodded and walked straight out the door. When he passed the front desk, he pretended to look at the map placed on the front desk and restored the surveillance network on the computer.

After he walked out of the door, the innkeeper realized something was wrong. He frowned and said to himself, "Isn't he staying in a room on the first floor? How could he come down from upstairs?"

As he spoke, he stood up and looked around upstairs. The doors of the three rooms upstairs, including his master bedroom, were all closed. There should be no problem.

He went back to the front desk and looked at the surveillance on the computer. There seemed to be no doubt. He muttered to himself and went back to the tea table to drink tea again.

Qi Kaiqun took a taxi back to the nightclub, and then drove his own car back home, pretending that nothing had happened.

His wife Mo Qingyi had no idea that her husband had gone to steal all her father's assets today. Seeing that Qi Kaiqun came back relatively early and was not drunk, she praised him a few words.

Qi Kaiqun went into the study alone and began to search the Internet for the thirty-six pieces of paper.

Nothing was found.

At about the same time, Meng Qi also called Shi Lei. He told Shi Lei that Qi Kaiqun should have succeeded, but his bag was not big, so Meng Qi didn't know what he had taken.

Shi Lei didn't hesitate and called Qi Kaiqun's mobile phone directly.

The phone rang, and Qi Kaiqun, who was concentrating on searching with various keywords on the Internet, was startled.

Seeing that it was Shi Lei's call, Qi Kaiqun hesitated for a moment, made up his mind, and answered the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Shi. It seems that you are still worried about me. Someone has been watching me all the time, right?"

Shi Lei smiled and said, "We met by chance and have never met before, so there is naturally no trust. Have you got Mo Bingzhong's money?"

"The cash has been taken away by Mo Yu, and the rest is jade. Mo Bingzhong exchanged all the money for jade, and some antiques. But the antiques are too big, and I really can't do anything. And the total value of those jades is at most about 100 million. It seems that the information you and your friend have is still wrong."
