Judging by the rags covering the bones, the knife stabbed him in the heart.

The corners of Ye Chen's mouth twitched slightly, and he moved the white bones out, and looted the valuable things on his body, such as pocket watches, jade plates, and some coins, as well as an old-fashioned foreign gun. Then he went out and got the tools, dug a pit, and buried the bones.

There was not much space, and it didn't take long for Ye Chen to find the 'Immortal Monument' mentioned in his diary.

The immortal monument, in fact, is a rectangular monument, there are six, two meters high, about one meter wide, and ten centimeters thick.

The rectangular monument is made of unknown metal, black, and cold to the touch.

The text engraved on it looks like a mechanically carved symbol, not a traditional character, nor does it look like a small seal, perhaps an oracle bone inscription.

Ye Chen wasn't sure, he just felt like it.

The text on the rectangular monument is very beautiful and charming, and it is pleasing to the eye just by looking at it. It can be said that it is a very beautiful work of art.

The obeli of unknown material is neatly cut and does not grow moss......

Oracle, the literal consciousness is obscure. Feng Xian, the former owner of the space, said that this was an exercise for cultivating immortals and practicing qi, but it seemed that that guy had not practiced anything famous, otherwise he would not have stabbed people to death.

The obeli is still secondary, the main thing is this space, the absolute treasure. I didn't expect to be overseas, if I picked it up for foreigners, that guy in Fengxian is estimated to be a sinner for the ages......

The origin of the space is not verifiable.

Ye Chen is not a person who seeks the roots, and there are some things that are blindly pursued, which is not good for himself. Go back to the house and continue to tap the relics left by Fengxian......

Bonghyun, the former owner of the space, traveled around the world and took a lot of photos, in a drawer of the bedside cabinet. The photo has long been blurred due to preservation problems. I also found a fountain pen in a drawer, some gold and silver coins.

That's all there is to it?

There is not a single teacup.

Head to the farm the next day.

Marin County is a well-known rich residential area in the San Francisco Bay Area, Ye Chen lives further north, the location is remote, the rent is less than 600 US dollars a month, and it is close to the place where he works, and it takes about ten minutes to drive.

I have been working here for 10 years, and I used to think about buying a house and settling here, but my parents did not want to come to the United States. Chinese will always have the word 'filial piety' in their hearts, and Ye Chen originally planned to resign at the end of the year and then return to his hometown to start a small business. It's time to quit early......

There is a lot of work on the farm, and the corresponding pay is good.

"Hey, Ye Chen, come here so early. Connor, the farmer, was a nice proprietor and was eating breakfast: "Have you had breakfast? I have some at home." ”

"No need. Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "I'm here to resign, because of family matters, I have to return to China." ”

"God, I'm almost busy, are you going to embarrass me by quitting now?" Connor said with an unhappy expression.

"I'm sorry, I have to resign and leave the U.S. today. Ye Chen said and handed over the letter of resignation.

Connor looked at Ye Chen: "It's urgent, I can give you a vacation, and I'll come back when you're done dealing with things." ”

"I went back to China to inherit the family business. Ye Chen spread his hands.

"Is it a tea plantation?" Connor smiled and said, "Okay, we'll still keep in touch often after you return home, don't forget to send me some tea." ”

"No problem. Ye Chen said with a smile. Connor is a very good boss, and Ye Chen is lucky to work here. When he first came to the United States, he had a regular work visa, and his salary was higher than that of his peers, and then he applied for a green card for Ye Chen. Moreover, Ye Chen and Connor have a very good relationship......

"You're gone, what about the vineyards on the farm? Elke, Jason, Robster, who of them would be more suitable to take your place. ”

"Jason, he's a serious worker. Ye Chen is a team leader on the farm, responsible for more than a dozen acres of grapes on the farm.

After coming out of the farm, Ye Chen went to the town to eat something, then contacted the landlord to return the house, packed his luggage and went straight to San Francisco.

PCGS。

The full name is 'Professional Coin Grading Service', a professional coin grading service company.

A well-known company in the United States that specializes in identifying, grading, and scoring coins. Coins authenticated by the company are placed in a small, sealed box and marked with a score and number. Its members are able to search for relevant information by number through the web system.

Get the Space Bead and find a dozen gold coins and two dozen silver coins. There are British and American, and the numismatic preservation is excellent......

Ye Chen is now staying in the hotel, and he went online to find the same kind of coins that are being sold, and the most expensive gold coin is 80,000 US dollars. Cheaper for a few thousand dollars...... The most expensive silver coin costs $13,200, and the cheapest costs only a few hundred dollars.

PCGS has a branch office in San Francisco, and Ye Chen made an appointment to call.

In the afternoon, Ye Chen took the coins to the San Francisco Professional Coin Grading Service Company, reported his name, and was immediately warmly received by a staff member: "Mr. Ye, the expert appraisal team you have made an appointment with is on the second floor. ”

"There's no hurry. Ye Chen waved his hand and looked at the coins sold at the counter. The coins here are authenticated, graded, and graded, and are housed in a clear, sealed box with a mark, score, and number. There are commemorative coins issued in modern times, as well as coins issued more than 100 years ago......

Same year, same face value, because the score of the rating is different...... In the same year, the price of gold coins of the same face value varies by several times or even more than ten times.

I went up to the second floor, went through the relevant procedures first, paid the money, took pictures of the gold coins, and so on. I went into the appraisal room......

There were three people in the identification team, two white old men and one black middle-aged. Ye Chen handed over the gold coin......

The gold coins are first verified by special instruments and then by three experts.

The first person to observe the gold coin is the first old man on the right.

"1915 Gold Indian Head Eagle Flyer...... Face value $10. It is a 'circulating item' with slight abrasion marks on the raised part of the surface of the coin, which is barely visible...... Selected near uncirculated ...... Assessment AU-55. The old white man said and handed it to the middle-aged black man.

The middle-aged black man picked up a magnifying glass and observed it for a moment, nodded his head, and handed it to the third person. He looked at it again, wrote down the relevant information on the form, took a photo, and gave it to his assistant...... The assistant archives on the computer and generates a number...... Finally, it is placed in a sealed box.

It takes more than 20 minutes to set up a process, but it is much faster to identify them one by one.

The second coin is the EF-40, which is extremely beautiful, and the face is worn, but the image is still clear, and there is still a small amount of original metallic luster.

At this time, a man in a suit appeared, handed Ye Chen a business card, and said, "Hello, I am the manager of the marketing operations department of the San Francisco Coin Grading Company, Carrey. Thank you very much for choosing our company. ”

"Hello. Ye Chen caught his outstretched hand and shook it with him.

"Mr. Ye is a member of the association?"

The association that Carey is talking about should be the Coin Enthusiast Collector Association, or it may be the Numismatist Exchange Association formed by their company.

Ye Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "I am a lover of gold and silver coins, amateur, look at the coins sold privately on the website, and buy them if you think they are good......"

"Coin collecting is best done by a professional ......"

Ye Chen interrupted him: "I like to take risks. ”

Kerry smiled and nodded. It is true that gold coins that have not been professionally appraised will be much cheaper in price, but there are also many fakes: "We provide consignment services, and we also buy gold coins directly, if Mr. Ye wants to sell gold coins, we will be your best choice." ”

“OK。 I will contact you to give you an estimate when the appraisal results come out. ”

Carey said goodbye and left.

Ye Chen continued to wait, and at half past three in the afternoon, the gold and silver coins were identified.

It's all 'circulation'.

According to the quality of preservation, the most expensive one, the expert estimate is $85,000. Thirteen gold coins with a total price of 129,000. Twenty-six silver coins for a total of 52,000.

Then he contacted Kerry, and after some bargaining, Ye Chen got a cash check for $180,000.
