Chapter 505 The Secret of the Heirloom
"Ms. Nie, you know, there are some things you can't say casually!" Li Yaofeng warned her coldly.
"I'm not just making this up..."
Seeing that he refused to believe her, Nie Yao whispered, "Please wait a moment. I'll go get my notebook!"
After she said this, she immediately turned around and went upstairs, straight to Li Jinxing's bedroom, hurriedly took the notebook from her schoolbag, and ran back to the living room.
“This is a picture of your family heirloom, and this is my hand-drawn picture!”
Nie Yao brought the photo and hand-drawn picture to Li Yaofeng, pointed at the patterns on it and said, "This thing looks like a dressing box, and it's engraved with ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. Then I deciphered it. It turns out those hieroglyphics are the password to open it!"
She paused, then picked up a piece of paper and pen and scribbled a sketch in her notebook: "Inside this heirloom is a map, a topographical map that matches the temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the ancient Egyptian pharaoh!"
"What do you mean?" Li Yaofeng frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"The Queen's Temple was built against the cliff, and some areas inside have not yet been excavated. However, this map undoubtedly tells future generations that there are important things hidden inside..."
Nie Yao took a deep breath and quickly drew a picture of the heirloom's gears popping out. Pointing at her sketch, she said to Li Yaofeng, "And this dressing box, after cracking the code, is a key to unlocking the mechanism!"
"Are you trying to say that this heirloom might contain a huge treasure, and it itself is the key to unlocking the treasure?" Li Yaofeng frowned slightly and asked thoughtfully.
"This is just my guess. The truth can only be known by investigating!"
Nie Yao shrugged, put away the notebook, and said to Li Yaofeng seriously, "But Mr. Li, think about it, if this heirloom didn't have such great significance, why would someone keep targeting your family? First, your parents, then Li Jinxing almost got into trouble, and even I was almost eavesdropped on..."
Li Yaofeng looked at Nie Yao in surprise, thinking he had misheard: "Eavesdropping? Miss Nie, you mean..."
"It's just as you heard!" Nie Yao nodded happily, picked up the pen again, and quickly drew a necklace pendant on the notebook. She smiled and asked, "Does this necklace look familiar to you?"
Li Yaofeng lowered his head and when he saw the necklace she was drawing, his pupils suddenly shrank and he said in surprise and doubt: "This... this is not the necklace my parents originally had..."
Nie Yao nodded and explained in a low voice, "Yes, this necklace pendant is called the Ankh, also known as the Key of Life. It appeared in your parents' pockets when they were in trouble. Later, when I was being followed, I also picked up this necklace!"
Seeing Li Yaofeng's eyes widen in disbelief, Nie Yao continued, "Li Jinxing thought the necklace was a curse, but it wasn't. He broke it and discovered there was a micro-camera bug inside!"
"What did you say?" Li Yaofeng's body suddenly shook, and he thought he had misheard: "You mean this necklace..."
"Since my necklace has been bugged, it's hard not to wonder if the same necklace worn by you and Li Jinxing's parents was also bugged!"
