Since the carp was on the round plate, it must have been carved or painted on it. It must be an inanimate object. How could it disappear out of thin air?
This is a bit strange.
Lin Xi thought for a moment and asked, "Would it be convenient for me to see a photo of the disc?"
The woman nodded and quickly pulled out her phone, flipping through the photo of the disk.
Lin Xi took the phone and checked it.
The round plate was actually a porcelain plate, about the same size as an ordinary dinner plate. In the middle was a painting of a lotus pond reflecting the moon, but this beautiful scenery was only the background. The most eye-catching thing was a carp, or koi, jumping out of the lotus pond.
That koi carp was not the most common red and white color scheme on the surface, but was golden all over, a golden koi carp.
The golden koi has a good meaning, just like its color and name, it symbolizes wealth and fortune.
Therefore, many people like to raise golden koi at home, or add similar decorations, hoping to attract wealth and treasure.
Just from looking at the picture, Lin Xi thought that the porcelain plate had a nice color and should be an antique that was several hundred years old.
But none of these are as outstanding as the golden koi.
Not only was the golden koi painted with exquisite techniques, but what surprised Lin Xi even more was its agility, as if it almost jumped out of the picture.
It seems that this golden koi is not an ordinary painting.
Afterwards, Lin Xi looked at the picture after the golden koi disappeared from the plate. Without the finishing touch of the golden koi, the porcelain plate did not look so exquisite.
She had a rough guess of what had happened, but in order to confirm the situation, she decided to go and take a look at the porcelain plate in person.
The woman naturally had no objection, and even hoped that Lin Xi could visit her home.
After all, she believed that the porcelain plate had definitely been replaced by something ghostly, and maybe that thing was still in her house. How dangerous that would be!
So soon, the woman drove Lin Xi to her home.
On the way there, she also took the opportunity to tell Lin Xi more about herself and the porcelain plate.
The woman's name is Gu Jia. She is actually 28 years old this year, but because of her well-off family, she has never worked a single day.
Her daily routine is eating, drinking, having fun, and occasionally going home to look after the family.
In fact, she couldn't understand it before. With the wealth accumulated by her father and grandfather, they could have hired several servants at home long ago. Why did they insist on letting her stay at home all the time to take care of the family?
Later, her father explained that there were too many antiques in the house and he was worried about outsiders coming in. Even if surveillance cameras were installed, some people might have bad intentions, so he didn't hire a live-in nanny.
Moreover, there are some antiques that need to be cleaned and wiped frequently, and it is safer to have family members do it themselves.
But after hearing this, Gu Jia still couldn't quite understand her father's insistence.
However, her financial resources all depended on her father, so she finally had to compromise and agree.
Fortunately, she is a lazy person and seldom travels. When she goes out to play, she only stays for a day or two at most and then returns home. So she doesn't feel like she is "trapped" at home.
After her father left her at home, he started his journey to fight in foreign battlefields. It was good enough if he could come back once every ten days or half a month.
Fortunately, Gu Jia has grown up and can live on her own. She can also take care of her father's antiques, and everything is fine.
That porcelain plate was also placed on the antique shelf by her father.
But it is worth mentioning that the collection value of the porcelain plate is not as high as other antiques on the shelf, but the porcelain plate is one of her father's favorite items.
Almost every time he came, he would go to see the porcelain plate first, and sometimes when he made a video call, he would ask Gu Jia to show him the porcelain plate.
She was also curious and asked her father why he valued this porcelain plate so much. Her father said that this porcelain plate was passed down from her grandfather's generation. The old man repeatedly told her to take good care of this porcelain plate, and the prosperity of the family business depended on it.
The carp on the porcelain plate is golden yellow, and the golden color is quite consistent with the symbol of wealth, so Gu Jia and her father both think that this is an antique ornament specially found by the old man to bless the Gu family to make a lot of money.
Sometimes these Feng Shui ornaments do have mysteries that cannot be explained by science, so no one thinks there is anything wrong when they are placed at home.
Anyway, after having this porcelain plate at home, the business has indeed grown bigger and bigger, and the money has become more and more. Although I don’t know if it is really related to the porcelain plate, it is definitely a good idea to keep it well.
Who knew that everything was fine, but the porcelain plate was suddenly stolen!
Gu Jia became more and more anxious as she spoke.
"I still haven't dared to tell my dad about this. I don't know what to do..."
If something else was lost, she believed her father would just say that losing money would ward off disaster, but she knew how much her father valued this porcelain plate, so she didn't know what to do.
Now she could only desperately pray to Lin Xi to help find the thing that stole the porcelain plate and then find the real porcelain plate.
Because she was in a hurry, Gu Jia drove very fast and arrived at her home in no time.
After arriving at the villa, she took Lin Xi directly to the second floor and went to the room where her father collected antiques.
As soon as the door of the room was opened, Lin Xi saw a faint light golden light lingering in the room.
The most intense light gold color is the porcelain plate on the shelf, which is what Gu Jia said was a "fake" porcelain plate that was replaced with something else.
Gu Jia walked over and picked up the porcelain plate casually, saying with a look of resentment on her face.
"Master, look, this porcelain plate is completely different from the one we had before. Why not just steal it and leave a fake one behind? What the hell is the meaning of that thing?"
I don’t know if that thing has a low IQ or simply wants to disgust them.
Anyway, Gu Jia was very angry.
But what she didn't expect was that Lin Xi looked at the "fake" in her hand and said something.
"This porcelain plate should be the one that was placed in your house before."
What? !
Gu Jia was so scared that she almost dropped the porcelain plate in her hand.
Lin Xi supported her hand in time, and then put the porcelain plate back on the shelf.
Gu Jia stared at Lin Xi's actions blankly, and after several seconds she spoke in disbelief.
"No, Master, this porcelain plate is completely different from the one I had at home. Haven't you seen a photo of the real porcelain plate before? There was a golden koi on it!"
It was such an obvious koi, she didn't believe that Lin Xi didn't notice it.
Lin Xi turned around and explained.
"The koi fish is gone."
Go, go?!
She knew both of these words, but why couldn't she understand what Lin Xi meant?
The koi fish was painted on a porcelain plate. How could it possibly walk? It didn’t have legs!
Seeing that she was still confused, Lin Xi reached out and gathered the remaining koi aura in the room together, then surrounded Gu Jia.
"Feel anything?"
Gu Jia was about to ask something when she felt a particularly soft and comfortable sensation.
Although there was nothing in front of her, she seemed to see a golden fish swimming around her, accompanied by the crisp sound of coins colliding.
Lin Xi withdrew his hand, dispelled the aura, and explained to Gu Jia while she was staring at him in amazement.
"What you just felt was the aura left by that koi. It's not an ordinary koi, but a spirited koi demon."
