Chapter 157: Back to North America
Wuwei sent Yang Yan back to the farm, and he immediately began to discuss the next plan of action with Zhou Gong.
The Nine Dragons Flying Tea Set consists of a pot and nine tea cups, and now Zhou Gong has found two tea cups, and the most important Nine Dragons Flying Tea Set has been obtained by the Desert Eagle. The Shuangjiao sisters went to track down the whereabouts of the Nine Dragons Flying Pot, and they haven't come back yet.
Wuwei asked Zhou Gong, "Master, how did Shuangjiao go to Switzerland to track the Desert Eagle and come back?
"Tianjiao called a few times, they found that the Desert Eagle took the Nine Dragons Flying Tiger to an ancient castle by Lake Constance, Tianjiao suspected that this might be the headquarters of the Flying Eagle Organization, so they are conducting a secret investigation of the ancient castle, it is estimated that it will not be long before they return. ”
"The headquarters of the Flying Eagles?" said Wuwei, repeating in surprise, "Could it be that the world's largest antiquities smuggling syndicate is hiding in the beautiful Alps." ”
"It is very likely that Europe has always been the most active region for the trade in antiquities, and most of the world's precious cultural relics have been plundered to Europe, and the location of this ancient castle at the junction of three countries, with well-developed water, land and air transportation, is very suitable for this place as the headquarters of antiquities smuggling syndicates. Zhou Gong said as he opened a huge map of Europe on his desk, looking for the location of the ancient castle.
"When Shuangjiao comes back, I think everything will be clear. Zhou Gong said thoughtfully.
"I've heard from the seventh member of the Hualong Gang that the Desert Eagle seems to have returned to North America, and I guess they captured Olina to get clues from her for other teacups. Master, should we look for other teacups from Olina first?" Wu Wei said his plan.
Zhou Gong thought about it for a while, looked at Wuwei and said, "I think it's okay, we will still divide into two ways next, one is to investigate the situation of the Flying Eagle Headquarters by Shuangjiao, and the other is looking for other remaining teacups." Precious cultural relics are also spiritual, since the Nine Dragons Flying Pot has appeared, then other tea cups will also appear randomly. ”
"I didn't expect to be taken away by the Desert Eagle and the Nine Dragons Flying Pot, I must take it back. Wuwei said unconvinced.
"Judging from the fact that the Flying Eagle Organization is so interested in the Nine Dragons Flying Pot, they must also know the secret behind the Nine Dragons Flying Pot, and with their strength in the world cultural relics market, I guess the Flying Eagle Organization is very likely to have obtained a few tea cups ......."
"Master, in this case, we must speed up our actions, and we must get the few remaining teacups before them. ”
Zhou Gong sat behind the desk and looked at Wuwei calmly, "Yes, Wuwei will talk to Olina and Old Feller as soon as possible to see if you can find valuable clues from them." I've looked up information that Olena's great-grandfather was an army officer who had traveled to China and fought in the Opium War, and that the Kowloon Flying Kettle had deep ties to their family. “
"Okay, I'll find the right time to find out about the situation with Olina as soon as possible. ”
Wu Wei left the master's study and came to the west courtyard where he lived, Ah Yu happened to accompany Olena and Old Feller back, and Ah Yu took their father and daughter around the farm.
Seeing Wuwei, Old Feller said with an exaggerated expression: "It's so beautiful, I like it here, Wuwei, thank you for bringing me to this place where the gods live, I decided not to leave." ”
"Haha...... Uncle Ferrer, you can stay as long as you like, we also have a sailboat by the sea, if you feel bored, you can sail out to sea for a few days. Wuwei was also infected by the excitement of Old Feller.
"Yes, that's wonderful, I'm worried that I can't go to sea, and I'll get sick if I don't sail at sea in a few days, haha......" Several of them laughed out loud at Old Feller's humorous words.
Wuwei said to Ah Yu: "Ah Yu, you accompany Uncle Feiler to the living room to have a cup of coffee and rest, and I want to talk about something with Olina." ”
When Olena heard this, she happily grabbed Wuwei's arm and said with a smile: "Great, where are we going to talk?"
"You can go anywhere, whatever you want. Wuwei looked at Olina with a sweet smile on her face and said.
Seeing this, Ah Yan leaned in and whispered in his ear: "Big brother, don't take advantage of Yanyan's absence to pretend to be public and private." ”
", the dog's mouth can't spit out ivory. Wuwei scolded Ah Yu with a smile.
Olena looked at the two of them curiously, couldn't figure out what they were talking about, and asked Wuwei in confusion, "What do you mean by off your balls?"
Ah Yu made a grimace and said, "My eldest brother means to let me go quickly, for fear that I will affect the two of you to speak." ”
Wuwei pulled Olina and said as she walked, "Let's go, ignore him." Olina, how about we go for a walk in the farmland outside the farm?"
"Great, I've lived in cities and islands since I was a child, and I really didn't expect the countryside to be so beautiful, and the endless farmland is so spectacular......" Olena was happy like a little girl, holding Wuwei's arm and jumping and jumping.
The two of them walked along the path by the wheat field, looking up at the green in their eyes, the peculiar aroma of the earth came to their noses, and the breeze blew through the rolling waves of wheat, much like the waves surging on the sea.
"Wuwei, what do you want to ask me?" Olina, taking the initiative to ask Wuwei.
"Olina, can you tell us about the Nine Dragons Flying Pot in your house?"
"What Nine Dragons Flying Pot?" asked Olina curiously.
"Oh, it's the multicolored porcelain pot in your room, this kind of pot is called the Nine Dragons Flying Pot in our China, and I also heard from the master later. ”
"I heard from Ferrer that those bad guys kidnapped me for this pot, and he said that this pot hides the treasure of an ancient emperor of your China?"
Wuwei nodded and said very seriously: "Yes, I told Uncle Feller that I hadn't rescued you at that time, and I didn't want to hide these things from Uncle Feller." ”
"Wuwei, do you think we will be very rich if we find this treasure?" Olina suddenly asked a question that surprised Wuwei.
Looking at Olina's innocent expression, Wuwei didn't want to deceive her about anything, so he said to her very seriously: "Olina, this treasure belongs to our country, the reason why my master and I went all out to find it is because we are afraid that the treasure will fall into the hands of bad people, if we really find this treasure, we will dedicate it all to our motherland, and the laws of our country also stipulate this, can you understand?"
"Are you saying that we spend a lot of effort finding the treasure and we don't get anything ourselves?" asked Olena in surprise.
Wuwei nodded affirmatively, "Maybe the country will reward us, but I won't want anything, because in my heart, the motherland is like my mother who gave birth to me and raised me." Olena, do you think you can ask for something in return for doing things for your mother?"
Olena thought for a while, then looked at Wuwei and said, "Although I can't understand your behavior, I believe that you are right, and I will do my best to help you." I don't know why, but from the moment I saw you, I had an intuition that you are a good person, so I believe you ......"
"Thank you Olena, thank you for trusting me so much. Wu Wei said with some excitement that in his heart, Olena was one of the people he was most grateful for, because if Olina herself would definitely be gone.
Olena fell silent, her eyes looking into the distance, as if thinking about something. Wuwei also walked quietly side by side with her, enjoying the unique tranquility and harmony of the countryside.
After walking for a while, Olena whispered: "I remember my father said that our family used to have a lot of things brought from China, but by the end of their generation, there was not much left, and the rest was divided between my father and two uncles. All my dad left me was the multicolored porcelain pot and a few other things, and I didn't know what the two uncles would have. ”
"According to the master, this set of Kowloon Flying Tea has a pot and nine tea cups, and we speculate that the tea cups may also be in the hands of your uncle or other relatives and friends. ”
"If you want to look for it, you can only go to my uncle and ask them for clues. Olena said after a moment of contemplation.
"Are your two uncles in England now?" asked Wuwei next.
"Only one is still in London and one has gone to New York. ”
"Can you still find them now?"
Olena nodded slightly, "It should be okay, I also received Christmas cards and gifts from two uncles last Christmas. ”
"Great, can you take me to find them?" asked Wuwei in surprise.
"Of course, I haven't seen them in a long time, and although I don't like them, it's my uncle after all, when are we leaving?" said Olena cheerfully.
"I'll discuss it with the master, and we'll hit the road as soon as possible. ”
......
The next day, Wu Wei flew to North America again with Ah Yu and Olina. Because Wu Wei felt that he should go to New York to find Olina's uncle first, Wu Wei had an intuition, Desert Eagle was currently in North America, and he was probably also concerned about this matter, and the Nine Dragons Flying Pot let him take the lead, so he couldn't let him succeed this time.
When the three of them arrived in New York, they found the address provided by Olena where her uncle Jack lived, which turned out to be a self-occupied senior living apartment, which was set up for seniors who could live on their own. The condominium does not provide services related to Nissan life, medical care, etc., but only provides comfortable living.
They approached the apartment manager and asked Jack about the room where Jack lived, and the manager told Olena that her uncle hadn't come back since he went out yesterday.
Olena strangely asks Uncle Administrator where he has gone, and the Administrator laughs and says, "There's only one place Jack can go, and that's Atlantic City." ”
Olena understood that her uncle had gone to gamble, and she said helplessly to Wuwei: "Jack can't get rid of the habit of gambling in his life, and he is still gambling after losing all his family property." ”
Wuwei asked the administrator, "When will Jack come back in general?"
"It's hard to say, maybe on the day, maybe two or three days. The administrator said, shaking his head.
"Then where is he staying if he doesn't come back?" asked Olena again.
"If you don't come back, of course, you're running the fortune bus. The administrator said with a smile.
Wuwei understood in his heart, he smiled bitterly, it turned out that not only Chinese "sports cars", foreigners also have "sports cars", he said thank you to the administrator, and then pulled Olina out.
Olena asked Wu Wei puzzled, "What did he mean by what he just said?
Wuwei knew that Olina had never been to the casino, so he didn't know anything about it, so he simply said to her: "The guests who often go to the casino go to the casino by taking the bus provided by the casino, and after arriving there, the casino not only provides a free independent meal, but also gives a certain amount of mud code, so some idle old people come out to specialize in "sports cars", that is, to follow the casino's fortune bus back and forth to earn some pocket money. ”
"I see, then where do we go to find my uncle, can't we chase after me from bus to bus?" asked Olena Wuwei.
The three of them came to the outside of the old man's apartment, Wuwei thought about it for a while and said to the two: "I don't think we need to run around, just go to the nearest bus stop to the old man's apartment and wait for Jack, whether he is coming back or the 'sports car' can always meet him at the stop." ”
"You're going to use this trick again, just like you're waiting for a master in Atlantic City. Ah Yu said with a smile.
"Sometimes the stupidest way is often the most effective way, let's hurry up, if old Jack happens to follow the bus back, we'll have to wait for nothing. Wuwei beckoned the two of them to the bus stop not far away.
Wuwei and Ah Yu didn't know Jack, the two sat on the side and waited, as long as there was a fortune bus coming to Olina would run up and inspect them one by one. The effort paid off, and it was close to noon when Olena saw her uncle Jack through the window glass of a bus.
The bus was just about to leave, when Olena slapped the trunk hard and shouted, "Uncle Jack, Uncle Jack...... Get out of the car, I'm Olena, get down ......."
The driver opened the door and asked Jack to get down, and Jack looked Olena up and down with wide eyes, and asked suspiciously, "Are you little Olena?" I remember you're only that tall...... Jack said as he gestured with his hand.
"Haha...... Uncle Jack, you were talking about ten years ago, when I was not even ten years old, but your appearance has not changed at all, except that you have more white beard. Olena said as she grabbed Uncle Jack's arm, "Thank you for the gift you send me every Christmas." ”
At this time, Wuwei and Ah Yu came over, and Olina introduced the three of them to each other, and Wuwei said to Jack and Olena, "Let's find a place to sit down and have a drink, and then we can talk." ”
"Okay, there's a bar nearby, let's go there. Old Jack led the three young men to a bar on the side of the street.
Jack asked for a glass of refreshing Canadian whiskey, and each of them asked for a glass of ice water. Jack took a sip of whiskey and asked Olena, "What are you doing here in Vancouver?"
"Hey...... Of course there is. Olena said with a smile tilting her head.
"What can you do with a little kid, what is it to tell your uncle?" Jack looked at Olena with loving eyes, and could see that he was fond of a niece.
"Uncle Jack, does our family have a set of tea sets made of multicolored porcelain from China? The pattern on it is a very beautiful flying dragon, which is said to be used by the emperor of China. ”
"Yes, isn't that porcelain pot with your father? How did you remember to ask about this?" asked Jack curiously.
"I'm here for a friend, do you know whose hands are the teacups with the teapot?" asked Olina's whereabouts.
Old Jack thought for a moment, and then said, "I know how many, but now I can't be sure, it turns out that there are two ....... in my hands."
"What? there are two in your hand, great......" Hearing Jack's two teacups in his hand, Olena immediately rejoiced.
Old Jack waved his hand gently at Olina, "Don't be happy yet, I said it was in my hands, but now it's gone." ”
Wu Wei hurriedly asked beside him, "Uncle Jack, can you tell us where the two tea cups in your hand went?"
"There's a ...... I sold last year," Jack had just said this, and Wuwei interjected and asked, "Was it sold at Sotheby's auction house in Atlantic City?"
Jack looked at Wuwei curiously, nodded and said, "Yes, how do you know so clearly?"
Wuwei didn't bother to answer, and quickly asked, "What about the other one?"
"I also sent another one to the auction house a month ago, and it's useless for me to keep this item, so I might as well sell it for money and come back. ”
"Ah, it's also sent to the auction house!" Wuwei was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Where did the buyer buy it?"
"Haha, it shouldn't have been bought yet, I just received a notice from the auction house, saying that the hammer will be opened this afternoon, to be honest, I was just trying to go to see it in advance, and I happened to be seen by Olina. ”
"And can we still make it to the auction?" said Olena anxiously.
Jack looked at his watch, shook his head and said, "It's been less than three hours since the auction started, and you need to pay a certain amount of deposit in advance to participate in the auction and get the auction number plate, even if you arrive late now." ”
"Big brother, what should I do?" Ah Yan also looked at Wuwei anxiously and asked.
Wuwei immediately stood up and said firmly: "Rush over immediately, and find a way when you get to the auction site." ”
The four immediately took a taxi to the auction site in Atlantic City......
