Chapter 143, Escape from Death!
Henan South Road. Chen Kee Yellow Croaker Noodle Restaurant.
This is a well-known time-honored noodle restaurant in Bihai, and it is also a holy place for countless foreign tourists to check in when they come to Bihai to travel.
Lin Yu was taken away by the police, Lin Chuyi was controlled by the police, and the entire Shangmei high-level was restricted in personal freedom. A large number of police officers were stationed in Shangmei Group, and relevant documents and video equipment were sealed and taken away by the police.
The curtain seems to have come down on this drama for the time being, but everyone knows that an even more exciting climactic drama is brewing.
The guests dispersed, but the reporters' articles sparked an overwhelming heated discussion on the Internet.
"Chaumet Group sells fakes, and the client calls the police for help......."
"A large number of police seized the Shangmei auction, suspected to be related to Lin Yu's smuggling of antique cultural relics......."
"The blue and white vase of "Plum Wife and Crane" has a bad fate, and it encounters a counterfeiting crisis again......"
------
Jiang Lai and Shi Daochen did not go back immediately, but walked out of the building of Shangmei Group, wrapped their coats tightly, stepped on the solid and cold ice and snow, and bypassed a narrow alley, only then stopped at the door of Chen Ji Yellow Croaker Noodle Restaurant.
Perhaps because it was too late, there were no customers at the noodle restaurant, which usually has a long queue. Extremely rare.
"Eat a bowl of noodles?" Shi Dao asked aloud.
"Eat a bowl of noodles. Jiang Lai replied.
Shi Daochen walked to the front of the counter and said, "Miss, two bowls of yellow croaker noodles." One part with vinegar and one without vinegar. ”
He is jealous, Jiang Lai is not jealous. He remembered their habits very well.
"Two hundred and fifty dollars in total. "The cashier lady had an instant feeling of amazement when she saw Jiang Lai, this man is so good-looking. But her eyes quickly shifted to Shi Daochen's face, she preferred this mature and stable uncle with great manly charm.
When Shi Daochen was about to scan the code on his mobile phone to pay the bill, Jiang Lai suddenly said loudly: "I'll invite you this time." ”
As he spoke, he handed over his bank card from behind. His mobile phone does not have the mobile payment function enabled.
Shi Daochen was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Okay, please." ”
He put away his phone and sat down near the glass window.
Sitting in that position, you can just see the streets and people shrouded in snow and mist, and the tall buildings that used to rise into the sky not far away. He really saw that one of the buildings in the shape of a copper coin was the headquarters building of the Shangmei Group.
Jiang Lai sat down on the chair in front of Shi Daochen, looked at Shi Daochen who was sitting opposite, and asked aloud: "Which people are your people, and what are the things you do?"
Shi Daochen looked at Jiang Lai with deep eyes, and said, "I thought you wouldn't ask, you wouldn't ask before, why did you just ask today? Is it because of Lin Chuyi?"
"I just want to know the truth. Jiang Lai said loudly.
"It's not. Shi Daochen shook his head and said, "It's because of Lin Chuyi." ”
"Okay. Jiang Lai didn't want to deny it, and said: "It's because of Lin Chuyi, so I want to know the truth." ”
"If you don't have Lin Chuyi and don't have feelings for her, you can not care about the truth. Isn't it?"
After a moment of silence, Jiang Lai said loudly: "The wicked should have evil retribution, otherwise it will be unfair to those good people who abide by the law." ”
Shi Daochen nodded and said, "If you want to know, I'll tell you." I didn't want to hide anything from you, but your temperament is lazy, and you may not be happy to hear these bad things...... Wu Yuren is my person, and Sun Dayan is also my person. ”
Shi Daochen paid close attention to Jiang Lai's expression, and found that his face was silent, knowing that he must have guessed these things. He knew that although his little junior brother usually didn't talk much, he had a clear ear and a sharp mind, and it was difficult for him to hide anything.
What does that mean: Meowing cats don't bite?
"Wu Yuren is the "nursery" I found, and it is also the "medicine primer" that I have cultivated for many years. He was originally a "trader" in an art auction company, a "hook" for the gang to do the game. Their method of deception is to first publish a large amount of false propaganda information on the Internet to attract the attention of collectors, and then salesmen like Wu Yuren repeatedly send WeChat messages or phone calls to collectors to inform collectors that the collections are very valuable, and lure collectors to sell them through their company auctions or private transactions, and even tell collectors that their company can conduct overseas auctions. ”
"When collectors are deceived into the company, their so-called experts boast that the collection is a treasure and a priceless treasure. Then tell the collector that there is already a high-end buyer who wants to buy the collection, but before the transaction, you need to go to the designated appraisal center to issue a certificate. Of course, those appraisal centers were run by Wu Yuren himself. After charging tens of millions of appraisal fees, he told the collector that due to the age and other issues, the state does not allow private buying and selling, and if you want to sell, you need to go to auction. Helplessly, Tibetan friends can only pay the upfront fee of the auction again, and then it will be unsuccessful again and again, and disappointed again and again. In the hottest era of art trading, just by virtue of such a mediocre trick, you can make money every day, and you can make a lot of money one by one. ”
Shi Daochen took the yellow croaker noodles sent by the service staff, smiled and thanked him, took out his chopsticks and began to mix the noodles, and said: "Eat it while it's hot, it's not delicious when it's cold." ”
Jiang Lai also drew a pair of chopsticks, poured a spoonful of chili oil into the bowl, and began to snort.
Shi Daochen said vaguely while eating hot yellow croaker noodles: "Wu Yuren, that idiot, accidentally bumped into my hand, and I don't know where to find my phone number, so he took the initiative to call me......."
"He's so pathetic. Jiang Lai said loudly.
"No, I saved his life. Shi Daochen was obviously unwilling to accept such an evaluation, which involved humiliation of his ability, and said loudly: "If I didn't take action, he would only continue to be a "hook" and a liar for the rest of his life. A few years ago, when the state cracked down on the art trading market, perhaps he would have been thrown into prison for ten or eight years. ”
"But I pulled him out of that whirlpool, I let him follow me in collecting and selling art, I sent the priceless art to him, and then I went through it and then transferred it out. I helped him accumulate fame and honor, and helped everyone in the industry to know that he existed, and that he had a "collection" that no one else had. ”
"When did this start to happen?" Jiang Lai asked without raising his head as he was busy munching on noodles.
"Ten years ago. ”
“......”
"Remember ten years ago? On your seventeenth birthday, I asked you what you wanted to do the most, and you told me that you wanted to come back and avenge the old man. ”
"You said you would help me fulfill my wish. Jiang Lai said loudly: "I remember. ”
"Yes. I said I'd help you get what you wanted, but it will take time. That's when I started planning what I was looking for. I have had people investigate Lin Yu, and even deliberately created a few "chance encounters" in business situations, this person is greedy as a wolf, but cunning as a fox. He won't trust anyone, not even those closest to him. ”
"If we want to come back and avenge the old man, we naturally have to find evidence of his smuggling and trafficking of antiquities. That would be the only way to ruin his reputation and send him to prison so that he could get the punishment he deserved. But how could we get close to a wise and vigilant man, and how could we so easily find evidence of his counterfeiting and smuggling?"
"So, I came up with this trick called "bait fishing". Didn't you go fishing with me? If you want to catch the big fish in the water, you have to throw a bait into the water. The bigger the bait, the bigger the fish you may catch. ”
"So, you found the blue vase of the Blue and White Crane?" Jiang Lai asked.
"Yes. I asked the middleman to introduce Wu Yuren in front of Lin Yu, and I also let Wu Yuren inadvertently leak the fact that he had such a character in his hand. Sure enough, Lin Yu was hooked. He didn't go to Wu Yuren to negotiate in person, but pushed the matter to your little lover Lin Chuyi. He asked Lin Chuyi to be responsible for communicating with Wu Yuren about this matter. ”
"Lin Chuyi is not my little lover. Jiang Lai defended.
"Okay. Shi Daochen nodded and said: "Your little lover is indeed outstanding, after testing several times in a row to make sure that Wu Yuren does have this bottle on hand, he began to work hard to conquer Wu Yuren, and invited him to entrust this priceless "Plum Wife and Crane" blue and white vase to Shangmei Auction for auction. The big whale didn't catch it, but a small fish took the bait. ”
"She's not a little fish. Jiang Lai said dissatisfiedly.
Shi Daochen took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, glanced at Jiang Lai, and then said: "It's also a shame to say, I originally used the blue and white vase of "Plum Wife and Crane" as an introduction, because I let people see it, although this bottle looks like it is genuine, and the instrument test is also genuine, but it is actually a fake and has fatal flaws. This is the "best bait" that I finally found, and I want to use it to kill Naomi and Hayashi. ”
"The gunpowder is there, and the primer is there, so Sun Dayan is the match that ignites the primer?" Jiang Lai asked aloud.
"Not bad. Shi Daochen admitted it unabashedly and said: "The reason why Sun Dayan is called Sun Dayan is because he was born in an antique family, but he has a room full of fakes....... Hence the origin of this title. Aside from rote memorization of those key points, he had no talent for identification. However, fakes are ever-changing, updated day by day, can they be successfully identified just by memorizing those knowledge points?"
"So, it was you who helped him wash away his shame and achieve the current glory of "Sun beats his eyes but doesn't hit his eyes"?" Jiang Lai asked out loud.
"Yes, Sun Dayan is easier to wash. He only needs to let him do a few shows in public, and then find a few big collectors to tout a few words for him, and his reputation will come out...... Later, he only appraised the antiques that I asked him to appraisal, and refused all other people's invitations. This not only kept him in a cool style, but also preserved his undefeated legend. ”
"It's just that I didn't expect to meet you at the Chaumet auction last time. Originally, I just wanted you to go and see the excitement, let you witness the fall of the Shangmei Empire, and let you see the tragic return of Lin Yu...... After some argument from you, the blue vase of "Plum Wife and Crane" is not only genuine, but even the painting painted by Lin Kui and his confidante, which is more valuable than the figure jar we estimated. Shangmei's crisis was lifted, and Lin Yu also escaped death. You say, did you give me a big surprise?"
