Chapter 243: Another $2.5 Billion in My Kitchen Refrigerator (2-in-1)

James has taken in a total of three sons in the past ten years, one of whom died several years ago, and the remaining two are named Alex and Birmingham.

Alex is 28 years old this year, 8 years ago worshiped James as a godfather, black, born in a war country in Africa, worked as a mercenary, and now helps James take charge of one of the seven large and small casinos in his hands, the casino has been thriving over the years, the small casino he is in charge of, the profit is basically more than 10 million US dollars per month, and his casino in recent years basically everyone dares to make trouble and find trouble.

The main reason why he runs the casino is that he is so iron-blooded that he can be called brutal.

Alex's ruthlessness is quite famous in the whole of Las Vegas, and even James's other righteous sons dare not provoke easily.

Birmingham worshipped James as an old man a year after Alex, and his style was the same as his skin color, and the opposite of Alex's safety.

He started his work tepidly, and from the photos he looked like a Sven teacher, and he didn't have the temperament of a casino boss at all.

Birmingham is warm, righteous and sleek, with many friends, and his strategy of running a casino is also to take the route of having more friends.

But in any case, the casino managed by Birmingham can basically make a profit of about $10 million a month, which is comparable to Alex.

Both Alex and Birmingham are very attractive men, and the two are of the same age, and they chased Bonnie the most before they got married.

Judging from the data, neither of them is the orphan of the last hidden trevally under Jerry Wu's hands.

But Tang Yi's intuition told him that the seventh orphan was one of them.

Peony drove in front, Tang Yi sat in the back seat and seemed to close his eyes to recuperate, but in fact, he secretly made a wish: "System, I want the details of Alex and Birmingham." ”

The wish came true, and after deducting millions of wishing money, the system sent the information of the two people through anonymous email.

Although Tang Yi only read the two materials once in James's study at that time, in the state of doubling the time, both his understanding and memory will also be doubled, and reading it once is enough to memorize every character on the two materials.

After opening the email, he first checked the profile of Alex, a black man who had been a mercenary.

In terms of feasibility, Alex is clearly more of a seventh orphan than Birmingham.

Because being a mercenary is not registered, there is no document, and maybe his former teammates and companions have long since died.

The identity of a mercenary is indeed a good profession to hide time.

However, after reading Alex's information obtained through wishing, Tang Yi was disappointed.

The information he had just obtained was almost identical to the one he had seen in James's study.

Although there is a slight deviation in some subtleties, the overall timing is exactly the same as the major events that occurred.

"Now that's all that's left for Birmingham. ”

Tang Yi was a little nervous for no reason, if Birmingham was not the last orphan hidden by Jerry Wu's men, then their trip today would be in vain.

After taking a secret breath, Tang Yi clicked on the second anonymous email and began to carefully browse it word by word.

A third of the way through the story, he realized something was wrong!

Tang Yi was overjoyed, and even his heartbeat unconsciously sped up.

"I've finally found you!"

Continuing to read this information in Birmingham, Tang Yi exhaled lightly, and said with a gleam in his eyes: "Peony, go to the XX address, after such a big circle, it's time to visit that old friend who has been with God for a long time." ”

"Brother Jiu, have you found that dog thing?!"

Peony grinned excitedly, and also looked very excited.

But it's good that he doesn't smile, and this smile pulls at the wound on his face, and he grins in pain.

"Brother Jiu, next time I encounter this kind of bitter meat that sings double reeds, can we not slap my face, I can eat with my face. ”

Peony held the steering wheel in his right hand, took out a cigar from James in his pocket with his left hand, lit it, and took a puff.

"Okay, next time I promise not to slap my face. By the way, give me the cigar you have in your pocket, and I'd like to try it too. ”

Tang Yi smiled, sniffing the aroma of cigars wafting in the car in the wind, and for no reason an urge to give it a try.

"How do I know I have a big cigar in my pocket? Okay, okay, here you go, the eyes are too poisonous, but don't say it, James's old ghost cigar is really good, it's the best!"

Peony reluctantly took out the cigar in his coat pocket and handed it to Tang Yi with a lighter.

The latter took the cigar and put it under his nose and sniffed it gently, feeling really good, much more comfortable than the smell of those cigarettes sold in China.

I lit a cigar like a peony and took a puff gently, which was a little spicy and a little dizzy.

Tang Yi knew that this was a sign of not smoking, so he didn't pay much attention to it, just looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window with his right index finger and middle finger, and took a puff from time to time, which seemed very comfortable.

As soon as the cigar in his hand was smoked, Tang Yi and Peony came to a luxurious and high-end community not far from the Las Vegas Strip.

"At this point, will that guy not be at home?"

Standing at the door of room 909, Peony hesitated and said.

Tang Yi shrugged disappreciatively: "Go ring the doorbell, maybe we are lucky, he just happened to be there." ”

Are they lucky?

It turned out that luck was really good, because as early as on the way here, Tang Yi had confirmed Birmingham's location through a wish.

After about half a minute, the door finally opened, and a rather handsome white man with gold-rimmed glasses appeared in the doorway.

As soon as Birmingham appeared, Peony directly took out a pistol equipped with a silencer and slammed two shots into his legs according to one of the plans discussed with Tang Yi on the way here, without giving him any chance to react at all.

After two shots overturned Birmingham in succession, Peony and Tang Yi quickly staggered into the door, closed the security door and locked it.

"I'm sorry to greet you in such a rude way when we met for the first time, mainly because I'm really not in the mood to talk nonsense and go around in circles with you anymore. Now that I will ask you questions, I will answer you one of your limbs, cut off your limbs twice, and cut off your five limbs three times if you answer incorrectly. You only need to answer incorrectly three times, and the fourth time you answer incorrectly, a bullet will shoot through your temple to your head. ”

Tang Yi took off his coat and hung it on the hanger behind the door as if he was returning to his home, and then slowly took off his lambskin gloves and said lightly while visiting his mansion.

"First question, when was the last time you contacted Jerry Wu, and by what means?"

After taking a turn in the living room, Tang Yi pulled over a chair and sat down, habitually crossed Erlang's legs and asked.

"3 hours ago, by email. ”

Birmingham had beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead, clenching his teeth and enduring the sharp pain in his legs, but his eyes were much calmer than Tang Yi imagined.

It can be seen that this is a smart man, a smart man who is smarter than many smart people.

"Peony. ”

"Gotcha!"

"Bang!"

"Hmm!"

An inaudible gunshot rang out, and after Birmingham snorted, his upper body, which was barely supported by his hands, fell to the floor at once.

But despite this, he still didn't cry out in pain, let alone ask Tang Yi hoarsely, why he still had to cut off his limb after telling the truth.

Tang Yi looked at Peony speechlessly, rolled his eyes and scolded: "Big brother, I want you to help him stop the bleeding, I didn't let you shoot." ”

"Huh? ”

Peony was slightly stunned, but she just shrugged her shoulders indifferently, as if nothing had happened to her.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Birmingham, but my friend is used to being very smug on weekdays, don't you mind. Given that you're bleeding faster and heavier, let's get straight to the point, lest you get to the point. ”

Tang Yi smiled apologetically at Birmingham, who was half-lying on the ground, looked up at Peony again and said, "Call an ambulance, hand over the phone to Mr. Birmingham after the phone is dialed, and let him explain his condition and house number to the doctor himself." ”

Peony didn't bother to talk nonsense, so she took out her mobile phone and dialed the emergency number, and then handed the phone to Birmingham.

Patiently waiting for him to finish the emergency call, Tang Yi continued to ask, "Where is Jerry Wu's other $2.5 billion?"

"In the fridge in my kitchen. ”

In the kitchen fridge?!

Tang Yi and Peony glanced at each other, both wondering if they were having auditory hallucinations.

That's $2.5 billion, not $25, can you put that much money in the refrigerator?

Did they exchange the money for a check or put it in the bank?

It shouldn't be.

This time, without Tang Yi opening his mouth, Peony went to the kitchen with a gun with a puzzled face.

Two or three minutes later, Peony came out with four things wrapped in layers of plastic wrap.

"Brother Jiu, apart from vegetables, fruits, and beef, there are only four things found in the refrigerator. ”

Peony put all these four things on the dining table next to Tang Yi.

"Sure enough, it's a real thing!"

Tang Yi had already boldly guessed that Jerry Wu divided the 5 billion huge amount into two parts and kept it by two people, half of it was cash in the form of digital currency, and the other half was very likely to be physical.

He thought that the other 2.5 billion might be gold bars or diamonds, but Tang Yi never thought that the 2.5 billion dollars were actually in these four plastic wraps.

"Hehe, that's kind of interesting. ”

Tang Yi smiled, and in Peony's curious gaze, he tore open the plastic wrap wrapped on the first item, revealing a document bag inside.

"It's actually a document, and I'm curious about what the contents of this document are. ”

After opening the file bag and taking out the documents inside, after a quick glance, Rao couldn't help but admire Jerry Wu and the Birmingham in front of him with Tang Yi's temperament.

This is a special purchase and sale document for a yacht, a yacht at a sky-high price, a yacht that was once famous all over the world.

The yacht, called the Eclipse, is the second most expensive yacht known in the world, valued at $1.5 billion, and was previously owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich.

The yacht is 536 feet long and requires a crew of 70 to operate and maintain. This extravagant yacht boasts 24 cabins, two helipads, a missile defense system, bulletproof windows, armor plating and a laser system that will destroy the candid camera equipment of paparazzi or other snoopers. It also features a variety of hot tubs, two swimming pools, a disco hall and many other luxurious amenities.

It is a veritable royal palace on the sea.

Tang Yi never expected that Jerry Wu would spend $1.5 billion to buy this yacht, and he also signed a special tripartite document.

The document states that the yacht has been paid in full, and after one year the original document holder of the original document carries out the relevant transfer and transaction procedures with Roman Abramovich, and a notarial deed is attached to the contract.

This kind of contract where only the seller does not specify the buyer, Tang Yi has seen it for the first time, and he has never even heard of it before.

Is such a contract really legally enforceable?

"He's a fucking talent. ”

After pulling the corners of his mouth speechlessly, Tang Yi tore open the plastic wrap of the second object.

Fortunately, the second plastic wrap was not wrapped in a contract, but an oil painting, an oil painting that anyone who knew a little bit about oil painting knew.

Leonardo da Vinci's Salvator Mundi sold for $450 million at Christie in New York, and it more than doubled the 2015 auction record of $179 million for Picasso's Les Les Les MΓ©tiers de Algiers, becoming the world's most expensive painting.

The image of Jesus the Savior, titled the Savior, sold for just $10,000 at auction 12 years ago. At the time, experts believed that the painting was made by a follower of Leonardo da Vinci.

To this day, many people still doubt the original authorship of this work, but most people believe that it is the original work of Leonardo da Vinci.

However, doubts did not silence the sale, and in just 19 minutes, the painting jumped from a starting price of $100 million to $450 million.

Salvator Mundi is the only surviving work of Leonardo da Vinci in a private collection, and it is also one of his only surviving paintings of less than 20 paintings, which was exhibited at the National Gallery in London in 2011, the first time that da Vinci's work has been discovered since 1909, so it is also known as the "Lost Da Vinci".

Tang Yi never dreamed that he would see the authentic work of this painting here.

Rao is in his form, and when he sees da Vinci's "Savior Mundi", he can only use a sentence to express his mood at this moment.

It is really hard for Tang Yi to imagine what kind of means and methods Jerry Wu used to buy this painting.

With a yacht purchase contract worth $1.5 billion and an oil painting worth at least $500 million, Tang Yi couldn't help but become more and more curious about the contents of the other two plastic wraps.
