Return to 1983 and be a detective

Agui was also very discerning. When he saw Xu Shan staring at the bricks carefully, he asked, "Why, you also understand these bricks?"

Xu Shan's eyes fell on a brick with a plum blossom pattern and seal characters on it.

"How much do you plan to sell this brick for?"

Xu Shan kicked the brick with his foot as he spoke.

Agui was quite loyal, so he brought the bricks over and said, "I have as many bricks as I want. I'm sure they have several hundred kilograms. I'll give you this one."

"That's so funny."

"We are from the same village, and we played together as brothers when we were young. Why are you so polite? But I have to ask, since you know your stuff, tell me what is the use of these bricks?"

Seeing him sincerely asking for advice, Xu Shan took the bricks and planned to give Agui a clear guide: "These bricks are not sold by the pound or by the piece. You have to choose some with beautiful patterns on them, and also There are these words that can be clearly seen."

"Then what? How much can a brick be sold for? Can it be sold for one dollar?"

"One dollar? You only have ten bricks here at most. Do you really want to go to such great lengths to sell them brick by brick for one dollar? You can sell a brick for five yuan, or ten yuan. As long as you meet someone who knows the business, I am willing to pay this price.”

Agui's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he seemed to regret it again: "Um...Shanzi, I have no choice. I am anxious for money, so I brought these bricks to sell. Since you know what you are doing, otherwise you Just take all these bricks from me. I won’t charge you more, I’ll charge you ten yuan in total. What do you think?”

Xu Shan also knew that Agui must be in trouble, but it was really useless for him to ask for these bricks.

If it were the Xu Shan of later generations, he would have refused directly.

But the current Xu Shan, during his contact with Xiang Jinsong and others, also felt their way of dealing with others, so he chuckled: "Then I will take advantage of this."

As he said this, he took out ten yuan and took away all the remaining bricks from Agui.

Agui received the money, thanked Xu Shan profusely, and left with the money in his pocket.

After Agui left, Xu Shan threw all the bricks into the pool next to the willow tree.

Except for the plum-patterned blue brick, the other blue bricks are all tomb bricks and have no value.

He took the green brick to a nearby blacksmith's club, bought a chisel, and started carving bricks and inkstones when he returned to his dormitory.

There are many styles of brick inkstones in his mind. These styles of brick inkstones are all made by famous people discovered in later generations, the kind with photos. In addition, when Xu Shan was an otaku, he learned sculpture. He is also very good at carving bricks.

Soon a semicircular double-mirror brick inkstone was carved out. Combined with the simple shape of the brick inkstone and the seal characters on the side, it looked really pleasing to the eye.Xu Shan then wrapped the brick and inkstone in rags and placed it in the shade under the pool in the dormitory. This can be regarded as a simple way of making it old.

In the next few days, Xu Shan cooperated with the Public Security Bureau in investigating the murderer of Xing Ergou. However, there were no surveillance videos these days, so the investigation relied entirely on visits. The four of them had been running all day long, and their legs were thin and the soles of their feet were The calluses came out and there was no progress.

But Xu Shan himself gained something.

He has always known that among our country's criminal investigation methods, thorough investigation has always been the most effective method. Even in later generations, in the era of advanced technology, this method will be of great help in solving cases.

What he is good at is reasoning, but reasoning can solve the case, but it can only be realized in an extremely ideal state.In reality, solving crimes requires a lot of visits, collecting evidence, finding prisoners, etc. This is the daily life of our country's criminal police.

And Xiang Jinsong was not idle either. After these days of hard work, he finally got the loan, which was a total of 8 yuan. This was really a big deal in the era when a household with [-] yuan had to be commended by the county. A huge sum of money.

The day after the loan was put down was Mr. Xiang’s birthday.

Xu Shan took out the brick inkstone from the bottom of the pool and saw that the brick inkstone was covered with a layer of moss, which seemed to add a touch of life to the brick inkstone and make it look more primitive.

Xu Shan specially went to buy a piece of red paper for writing couplets during the New Year, wrapped the brick and inkstone, then sat on Xiang Jinsong's [-]th pole, and returned to Xiang's home together.

In Xu Shan's impression, if the old man in the family is having a birthday, why not decorate the house with lanterns and colorful decorations, and be full of guests?

After all, this is what was written in later novels about the Dragon King’s son-in-law.

But when he arrived at the Xiang family, he found that the birthday banquet was actually quite deserted. The only people who came were members of the Xiang family.

Xu Shan figured it out as soon as he thought about it.

People in high positions these days are actually upright people, and it is impossible for them to create a big show.

It is even less likely that the house will be filled with friends and a big birthday gift.

Thinking of this, he started to mutter again. Since he was celebrating his birthday to his family, why did he invite himself over?

In doubt, Xiang Jinsong parked the car and came over to tell Xu Shan: "Don't be restrained for a while. Just answer whatever the old man asks. Treat this place as your own home."

Xu Shan felt particularly awkward with this tone.

But he also knew that people now were different from those in later generations who were used to reading all kinds of cp articles. Xiang Jinsong simply wanted to calm himself down.

At this time, a Crown car stopped in front of the door, and a man and a woman got out of the car. The man looked very similar to Xiang Jinsong, but the clothes he wore were much more fashionable than Xiang Jinsong.The woman was wearing a style that was quite rare in the small county town. She had a light yellow dress and fluffy hair, and she was firmly on the fashion trend of this era.

Seeing Xiang Jinsong, the man said hello with a disdainful tone: "Hey, isn't this my good big brother? Good big brother, you are here to congratulate grandpa on his birthday. It's really rare."

Hearing this harsh tone, Xu Shan became excited.

I originally thought that the plot of the crooked-mouthed Dragon King slapping him in the face would not appear at this birthday banquet. I would just eat a meal quietly in this era, answer a few questions from the old man, and then go back to the dormitory.

As a result, a person like this appeared right now. He wrote the word "villain" on his face as soon as he came up and mocked Xiang Jinsong.

Although Xu Shan didn't know what the relationship between Xiang Jinsong and this man was and what grudges he had, a sentence still came to his mind: I've seen this episode.
