Chapter 187: Armand
Not long after Xiao Peng hung up the phone, another police car roared in. A capable-looking policeman rushed over, and as soon as he came over, he put on a smile on his face and walked up to Xiao Peng: "Hello, are you Mr. Xiao? Introduce yourself, I am Sergeant Phil Collins of the Brinston Police Department." He waved his hand at Masson Davis and motioned for him to step back.
Xiao Peng nodded: "It's me." Hello Sheriff Collins. β
Phil Collins sighed: "Is there some misunderstanding between us here? I already know what happened, so it shouldn't have such a serious result." β
Xiao Peng showed a disdainful smile: "Director Collins, you don't know us Chinese, we Chinese value face the most, what am I doing with so much money? Isn't it just to make my life more comfortable? We don't recruit people, but no one should provoke me, I will let you know how bad I am!"
Collins said to himself: Why don't I know? I know too well! I've already received N phone calls in the past 10 minutes, and it's just a lawyer, why is it that the Sydney city government is also calling? The Sydney city government is just calling, why is the NSW state government calling?
Before coming back, Collins was still thinking about what this Xiao Peng should look like, but he didn't expect to see that the dirty one was the appearance of a miner. Where did this Nima come from, and where did the miners have such great abilities? You mine on the moon? Can you make a fuss in an instant with such a small thing?
If Xiao Peng knew what Collins thought, he would definitely feel wronged, he really didn't know about it, he thought he would find a lawyer to solve this problem. Unexpectedly, after Charlie received his call, he directly told Mayor Moore about the matter, and Mayor Moore told them about the matter to several big figures in their party.
The Australia-China Equine Fair is a great opportunity to raise Australia's profile. In particular, there has been more and more vicious news about the Chinese in Australia recently, and they continue to do one thing to improve their image, and finally they have decided to cooperate with Xiao Peng's racecourse.
I don't know how many people are eager to dig up Collins' ancestral grave now, how simple this should be? Someone robs, can't it be just arrested? Some people go out on bail, now it's okay, Lawyer Charlie over there doesn't want to let go of the 'Arrow Gang', even the police station has piggybacked. Don't you know that this Xiao Peng is a master who doesn't think much of a big deal? He dares to kill the Chinese, let alone you Australians? Anyway, what Collins received was: Handle this matter well, so that Xiao Peng is satisfied, if Xiao Peng is not satisfied with the result, then Collins should not be satisfied, how about going to the national park to protect koalas and guide tourists? If you are not satisfied, find some connections, let you go to the Northern Territory to protect crocodiles and pythons!
Not to mention Collins, even Xiao Peng couldn't imagine that there were so many twists and turns behind such a simple thing!
Collins coughed dryly: "Uh, Mr. Xiao, I'm here to apologize for the wrong way my subordinates work like you, Davis!
"I apologize?" Davis pointed to his nose, surprised.
Collins snorted coldly: "I have to apologize to Mr. Xiao for your stupid behavior, and you still don't apologize because of you?" Believe it or not, I let you stay on the island to protect the coral reef?"
Davis was dumbfounded, looking at Collins' expression was not a joke, and he knew that he had made a big mistake. Isn't that a joke? Davis hurriedly said, "Well, sir, I'm sorryγγγγγγ I...... I...... I was wrong. β
Xiao Peng looked at him: "Then what are you wrong?"
"Uh, I shouldn't have said that. Davis' face flushed.
Just admit your mistakes? Xiao Peng doesn't want it to be that simple! Collins saw that Xiao Peng didn't speak, and hurriedly said, "That." Mr. Xiao, shall we deal with this case first? We still have an important question, that is, since it is a robbery, what are they robbing? What is the value?"
Xiao Peng stretched out his hand and took the miner's bag from Buck's hand, which was very carefully wrapped in a small bag, Xiao Peng opened one casually, took out the contents and showed it to Collins: "Authentic Lightning Ridge Black Opal, this is his mining license." After saying that, he handed Collins a copy of the mining license and land certificate from his bag, and he had to have these identification documents to trade here.
"Thisγγγγγγ Collins frowned slightly: "It's not easy to evaluate the price, right?"
The blonde young man who was calling the police on the side listened and walked over: "I think I can help with this." β
Collins was stunned: "Are you?" Davis whispered, "This gentleman called the police." "Now Davis is very cautious and very careful in his speech, for fear of protecting the reef.
The blond young man took the miner's bag from Xiao Peng's hand and took out his tools to observe them carefully. After he had carefully observed the tools, he carefully put the tools back in his pocket, and then carefully put each Opal back into his bag, and after doing all this, the young man smiled and introduced himself: "My name is Armand, I work for Van Cleef & Arpels, and this is my proof of work, the market price of these black Opals is more than two million dollars." I am willing to take responsibility for the results of my appraisal and issue you with legal and valid certificates. The amount involved in this case should be a major case. β
After hearing this, Collins nodded, turned directly to Davis and said: "Officer Davis, go back and inform the federal police of this case, all the suspects refuse to be released on bail! Investigate quickly! You follow the ambulance to the hospital now, all these suspects can't have any problems, if something goes wrong, I will ask you!"
Davis was stunned when he heard this, but immediately stood up and saluted: "Yes!" After finishing speaking, he ran directly to the police car, and the two police cars left the scene with the ambulance, and at the same time called for support!
Davis has been a cop for so many years, and he's not stupid. What problem did the successive federal police explain? The matter has become a big problem! Even if there is a murder case, they have to solve it by themselves, and they are unwilling to contact the federal police, because this has a bearing on the dignity of the police in their town! I didn't expect Collins to take the initiative to ask to contact the federal police! Davis now has only one question------ What is the origin of this Chinese?
Collins laughed and said, "Mr. Xiao, do you think you are satisfied with this?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "I'm quite satisfied, but I want to see what happens to these robbers! I'll call my lawyer and ask him to follow up on this matter." β
"Then Mr. Xiao, look at our police stationγγγγγγ Collins looked at Xiao Peng with a nervous expression, he really didn't want to go to the Northern Territory to protect the crocodiles!
Xiao Peng thought for a while: "In this way, I will reserve the right to sue your police station first, and see the final result of this matter, if it is handled properly, then everything is easy to say." So I want you to take this case seriously. β
"Of course, that's of course. Collins smiled and nodded, but in his heart he was thinking about how to kill Davis, he was a town sheriff, and he apologized to this Chinese young man here, what is this special thing? Didn't hear the Chinese say, they Chinese want face? But I don't want face? What about my face thrown into the smelly gutter? But Collins couldn't show it on his face, but nodded and said, "That." Mr. Xiao, I'm going to deal with this case first. After speaking, he shook hands with Xiao Peng and left. This hellish place, whoever loves it here is here!
Xiao Peng smiled and shook hands with Armand: "That, thank you for your help, Mr. Armand, you are a righteous person." β
Armand shrugged: "Call me Armand, this is my name, not my surname, it feels strange that you call Monsieur Armand." It's as weird as I call you Mr. Peng, right, Mr. Xiao?"
Xiao Peng was stunned: "You know me?"
"Of course, when I was in Dubai, I watched you live. You were almost perfect that day. I still firmly believe that if you participate in the final 'Dubai World Cup', the championship will definitely be you and 'Yin', and if I'm not mistaken, it should be Mr. Yang, right?" Armand smiled.
Xiao Peng said: "You read it right, I thought the crooked nuts were all face blindness, but I didn't expect you to recognize us." You can call me Xiao Peng. Let's not be so polite. β
Armand laughed when he heard this, but said: "You are not wrong, we do have face blindness, no matter how you look at you, you are all the same, so in order to remember your face, I specially found your photo and enlarged it and pasted it in my bedroom! Unfortunately, I asked my mother to tear it off for me." She was terrified, afraid that I would fall in love with a Chinese man. β
Xiao Peng was also happy: "Okay, I have to say, she is a good woman, so how did she solve this problem?"
"She brought a large number of posters of beautiful celebrities to hang on the wall of my house, from Isabelle Adjani, to Catherine Deneuve, Sophie Marceau, Ellie, etc., almost all the hottest and most beautiful photos of French female celebrities in the past 50 years were nailed to the wall of my room. Armand pouted.
Xiao Peng didn't believe that his mother could really do that, but he still smiled and nodded: "Then how did you solve this problem?"
Armand made a mysterious expression: "I threw all those pictures away, who made me like Isabella Huppert more?"
"Poof. Xiao Peng squirted: "You are really heavy enough." β
Armand made a gesture of invitation: "Otherwise, let's go in and say, don't bask in the sun here, just by the way, to give these black Opals an estimate?" Okay, formally introduce myself, my name is Armand-Bourgeis." He is a jewellery buyer of Jacques Van Bao and a jewellery designer of Jacques Van Po. β
"Wow, so young?" Xiao Peng looked surprised. In his imagination, these jewelry designers should be the age of old men and aunts.
Armand smiled wryly: "No way, my family belongs to a family of gemstones, and I have been exposed to these things since I was a child." If I could, I would really like to change my life, and the big reason I came to Australia to buy Opal is that I don't want to carry it around at home anymore! Jewelry design needs inspiration too, right? But I really don't have any inspiration now! God, I'm going crazy. β
