Chapter 80: Old Things

Song Yuewen smuggled to Hong Kong City, and there was no legal entry information on the surface, so it was troublesome to come back.

Chen Linzhi learned that even with the help of the San Francisco police, it would take ten days and half a month to come back at the earliest, during which she communicated with Song Yuewen several times, and she seemed to be relieved to learn that Old Man Wang was arrested again.

There is a right and wrong thing, and there is a big and small right and wrong.

That old man was too unruly, even if it was her grandfather, Song Yuewen also felt that it was too unbelievable to kill seven people at once, and it had a violent conflict with her three views.

What's more, this was only discovered, and the police found out that one of the old man's subordinates who was killed had a lot of murders on the gun through the comparison of ballistic traces.

Chen Linzhi came into contact with the bald head who followed Old Man Wang, one of the most famous scavengers in Northern California, who was locked up in the same prison with Old Man Wang more than ten years ago, and then started to deal with some people in the prison to settle troubles for profit, and Old Man Wang played the role of middleman.

In this way, the old man can not only sell some cigarettes and alcohol in prison, but also settle witnesses, enemies, etc., there are many felons in it, and there is never a shortage of orders. No wonder the old man can mix like a fish in water in prison, and he is quite old and can eat well, and he really has some means.

The more the police investigated, the more problems they discovered, and they did not dare to put Mr. Wang back in the San Francisco County Jail, and according to the newspapers, he had been transferred to another place and held in solitary confinement, and many cases had to be turned over and retried.

At this point, it was basically a matter of fact, and when he found that Song Yuewen had no intention of blaming, Chen Linzhi breathed a sigh of relief......

Zhao Bailu has just finished the SAT test recently, and the results will not be available for a while.

In order to get her graduation certificate, she will still go to the middle school that has just started school to continue her studies, but the pressure is not as great as before, and the teachers also take special care of her.

On Friday, after school, she took a bus from the school gate and changed to a taxi to the San Francisco Chinatown boundary.

Hearing Chen Linzhi mention the Fire Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Hall, Zhao Bailu came over and waited at the door, holding Freud's book "The Interpretation of Dreams", letting people come and go in front of her, she watched it with relish and was engrossed.

If you hadn't known each other since childhood, with Zhao Bailu's character, it would be difficult to have much intersection with Chen Linzhi.

More than two hours passed in a blink of an eye, and she waited for the rabbit with patience.

Wait until it gets dark.

Chen Linzhi came home from work, carrying a newly bought briefcase in his hand, and happened to see Zhao Bailu sitting at the top of the stairs, walked in and asked, "How did you find me here, and when did you come here?"

"For a while, last week I heard my parents mention that you had something to do with the cemetery case, and I wanted to come and see you, but then my dad drove me to school himself, and I didn't find a chance to slip away, so I put it off until this holiday.

In a boarding school, it is not easy to come up with it during school, not to mention that I still need a letter of recommendation from a teacher, so it is better not to climb over the wall for the time being, so as not to be punished. ”

Zhao Bailu's voice is very good, always so unhurried and unhurried, which is a bit similar to her personality.

There were already apprentices in the martial arts hall who were eyeing her, and when they found out that Zhao Bailu knew Chen Linzhi again, and obediently accompanied Chen Linzhi upstairs, they were sad and indignant, scolding Chen Linzhi for being too brute, she already had a Song girl, and she didn't even let go of such a good-looking high school student, and dared to bring it to Song Yuewen's house!

Looking at this battle, maybe when there will be an appointment and revenge, there will be a second competition.

Chen Linzhi doesn't have superpowers, how can the apprentices of the martial arts hall slander themselves impassionedly, and tell Zhao Bailu while going upstairs: "I'm fine, that case has nothing to do with me, I have long washed my hands, I just want to do business seriously and make more money." ”

"I know. ”

Zhao Bailu entered the old house full of feminine atmosphere, and was quite curious about it.

Earlier, I heard Chen Linzhi say that he was under the fence, and when he saw Song Yuewen's photo at this moment, he finally understood why he didn't move out.

She is a smart girl, and she has reached the age when she should be sensible, and she has always been very open to the things of men and women.

Sitting on the sofa and retracting his gaze, Zhao Bailu smiled and said to Chen Linzhi: "I received a reply from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington this week, and Professor Stephen Hamilton can not only confirm that the ring is real, but also help you ask about the origin of the ring. ”

"Oh, how could he know an antique from hundreds of years ago?"

Chen Linzhi held a meeting with the salesmen today, tired to the point of exhaustion, the stage of opening the market was more difficult than he expected, people were not familiar with the goods on the other side of the ocean, worried about the quality of the problem, just like hearing that the goods were going to be imported from the Soviet Union, subjectively with resistance at first.

"Made in China" is not popular, people do not know whether it is really good quality and cheap, the samples sent by Gao Erudite from Pengcheng have not arrived, the large orders have not been held, the small orders have added a few pieces, and the profits are unsatisfactory.

From another point of view, it is precisely because the goods on the other side of the strait are not yet selling well and there are quite few people engaged in cross-border trade that he has the opportunity to continue to be busy seizing the opportunity and cannot rush to success.

Zhao Bailu continued to say to him:

"Professor Stephen Hamilton wrote to me that the ring belonged to an old family of earls, that some people in the Society recognized it, that the owner of the ring in the forties, Fred Merlon, was a fighter pilot, and that he had been awarded by Roosevelt, and then it was heard that he had gone to China, and then there was no news, and that he probably had died in the war years, leaving only a daughter, who had also died more than ten years ago.

The Smithsonian Institution has a long history, and it took Professor Hamilton a long time to find out its whereabouts, so let me ask you how you got this ring. ”

Chen Linzhi saw Zhao Bailu take out the information, the white man on a copy of the photo, the ring finger was wearing a ring inlaid with emerald gemstones, which was exactly the same as the shape of his ring.

Hearing this, Chen Linzhi had a guess, and said with a speechless face: "The Fred Meilong you are talking about, shouldn't you have gone to Huaxia to collect antiques back then?"

"Yes, you've heard of that?"

Zhao Bailu looked surprised.

She is a gentleman who likes to be sophisticated, and loves to touch these stories the most, unlike the little girls who like romantic movies, she loves to watch "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and prefers the imaginative "Star Wars".

Chen Linzhi pinched his eyebrows and said:

"At the end of last year, I helped the old man in the cemetery case, surnamed Wang, to find the hostess of the apartment, and he told me an address, and hid some gold coins that he had buried in his early years as a reward for me, and the ring and the gold coins were mixed together.

What makes me feel even more terrible is still to come, Old Man Wang also went to the other side of the river to serve as a soldier in his early years, and I heard rumors that he had followed an American archaeological businessman back, killing people and looting treasures on the way, I thought it was just a rumor, and now you have found out the bitter master, that is to say, ......"

Zhao Bailu instantly thought about the key clearly, and opened his eyes wide: "Do you think that's Fred Merlon?"

"Perhaps, if this is the case, and there is another old case, won't my ring be the evidence of a conviction? ”

Chen Linzhi said casually, if it was really as he guessed, even if he gave him the ring, he felt that it would be too unfortunate to stay at home.

After that, I thought that it didn't mean that Old Man Wang really swallowed a batch of treasures and antiques, but last time he and Yin Yu broke into the empty house at night and didn't find the real location.
