Chapter Fifty-Six: Dr. TC
"That's right, Brother Chen. www.biquge.info"Before leaving, Li Lei called Ye Chen and handed Ye Chen a photo. "This is a photo we took in Master Li's shop, and it happens to have Master Li on it, I hope it can be useful to you."
"Great, leave it to me." Ye Chen rushed to Ye Cong's house with the photo, ready to discuss the materials he had sorted out with his eldest brother.
When he arrived at the eldest brother's house, Ye Cong had just come back from outside.
Since Ye Cong knew that this case involved domestic cultural relics, he did not dare to delay time, and immediately contacted friends in the embassy to discuss the situation of this case, and had just returned home at this time.
"Looks like this guy has to be checked out." Ye Cong took the photo, compared the information compiled by Ye Chen, and intuitively thought that this Li Kun must have some connection with the cultural relics case.
"Xiaochen, you have really helped a lot, I will contact a friend immediately now, and check this person immediately." After speaking, Ye Cong took the photo and left the house.
Looking at the eldest brother who was in a hurry, Ye Chen couldn't stop him. Because this case involves domestic cultural relics, if Ye Cong can help the embassy solve the case, it will be very beneficial to his own development, so from this aspect, Ye Cong will put all his energy on it.
Ye Chen also knew that this was a very important opportunity for his eldest brother's work, and being able to strengthen the cooperation with the embassy would be of great help to his affairs.
Ye Chen also wants to help his eldest brother in his own way. In Ye Chen's memory, there is a kind of magic that can detect every move in the area within a certain range. Card magic can not only allow Ye Chen to use various magic cards, but more importantly, the control of external energy, through the communication of magic control within the range of energy, in order to grasp the environment of the detection range.
Now that Ye Chen already knows the appearance of this person named Li Kun, he just needs to cast magic and look for him throughout the city. Li Kun only arrived in Liverpool yesterday, and it stands to reason that he should still be in the city.
As soon as he thought of it, Ye Chen returned to the car and closed the window. Closing his eyes, Ye Chen radiated his spiritual power, attaching it to the surrounding energy, and Ye Chen looked south in one direction.
Ye Chen is currently only at the second-order magic power level, and for this large-scale magic, he can only hold on for 60 seconds, basically exhausting his magic power, and if he wants to recover, he has to rest for two hours.
As if he had opened the eyes of heaven, starting from Ye Chen and heading south, different scenes came to his mind. However, it is a pity that after screening for a long time, until the time ran out, Ye Chen did not find Li Kun.
Pressing his head, which was a little dizzy, Ye Chen leaned on the saddle to take a nap. At present, the use of this magic is still very expensive for Ye Chen, and only when the magic power is promoted to the third level can he use this magic freely.
"Let's check the other direction later, I hope I'll have better luck next time." In fact, Ye Chen's search still depends on luck, after all, he can only reconnoiter in one direction, but the other party will definitely not stay in one place, once the location where Li Kun appears and the area that Ye Chen explored are exactly apart, it can only be said that Ye Chen is unlucky.
However, Ye Chen's efforts were not in vain, and finally when he explored the western coast for the third time, he found Li Kun on a steamer at the dock. At this time, it was already twelve o'clock in the night, Ye Chen didn't dare to delay, quickly got dressed, and teleported to the boat.
Long before coming over, Ye Chen carefully observed the surrounding environment and guards, avoiding the people patrolling on the boat, Ye Chen slowly approached the room where Li Kun was, put his hands on the wall, and threw his spiritual power into the room.
"Dr. TC, please wait here for a day, and I'll take you to London tomorrow night, and then you can return to Hong Kong." In front of Li Kun sat a middle-aged white man, who looked like he was very rich, wearing an amber ring, gold wire glasses, and a black dress.
"Thanks to you for shifting the police's attention to the Chinese Association, our transaction went very smoothly." The man happily told the truth about Ye Chen's case.
"Sure enough, they did it." Ye Chen pondered in his heart.
"They're not going to find you, are they?"
Li Kun, who is the "Dr. TC" in the mouth of the man with glasses, smiled and said: "It is estimated that in their eyes, I am a worthless ceramic master, how can they associate the case with me." ”
After some praise, the two began to study the auction of cultural relics, and a bunch of professional terms made Ye Chen's head big. Leaving rune marks on the two of them, Ye Chen turned around and began to inspect the ship.
The boat on which the two main suspects in the case were located must have had its place. The ship was supposed to be a vessel for transporting goods, and Ye Chen found many square wooden boxes on the ship. Ye Chen attached his magic power to the wooden box, slowly infiltrated it, and found that the ceramics stored in it were all modern handicrafts.
"Why did you transport a batch of handicrafts here, and the number is not much." Ye Chen counted the number of boxes, if they were all handicrafts, the number would be too small, and it was not worth transporting at all.
"Is there something wrong with the ceramics?" Ye Chen suddenly thought of a question, and continued to talk about the penetration of magic inward, and sure enough, there was another item in each pottery, including jade, ancient money, porcelain, etc., and it was indeed a smuggled cultural relic.
It seems that these people put the cultural relics in the ceramics in order to deceive the customs, and transported them to Liverpool under the guise of artworks, which are naturally difficult to be discovered. If it weren't for Ye Chen's ability to use magical energy, he wouldn't have been able to find these cultural relics even if he saw the cargo box.
Not daring to delay time, Ye Chen ran to a safe place and connected Ye Cong's phone.
"Big brother, wake up. I have a new clue about the smuggling case. Ye Chen lowered his voice.
"What?" Ye Cong, who was still drowsy, suddenly woke up and hurriedly asked, "Is what you said true?" ”
"Well, I found Li Kun at the docks, he was hiding on the cargo ship of Suchel's auction house." Ye Chen carefully paid attention to his surroundings to avoid being discovered. "I hid in the shadows and overheard their conversation, and they said that the artifacts were hidden in ceramics and placed on a cargo ship." Ye Chen didn't fully explain, and thought of an excuse to tell the eldest brother about it.
"Well, Xiaochen, you hide carefully. I'll bring someone there now. Ye Cong hurriedly got up, and after repeatedly telling Ye Chen, he went out.
For about an hour, Ye Chen finally waited for Ye Cong and them to come over, and he was accompanied by several staff members of the Chinese Embassy, as well as the police from Liverpool, among whom Inspector John took the lead.
A large number of policemen surrounded the cargo ship, and after meeting with Ye Chen, the group rushed to the cargo ship and arrested everyone on it. But unfortunately, the man who talked to Li Kun was not there, and when Ye Chen was waiting for the police, he found that he had left the cargo ship, so in order not to startle the snake, Ye Chen let the man leave.
Under the leadership of Ye Chen, the embassy people opened the cargo box, and after carefully knocking the ceramics, they revealed the cultural relics inside. Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, and when they found this batch of cultural relics, the case was basically half solved.
