"Mr. Xie, what do you think of these three Chinese?"

In the Japanese tent, Saburo Sei asked the thin old man who was following him with a gloomy face.

The thin old man's name is Xie Hongming, a Japanese-Chinese, who accompanied Saburo Sei to country A this time, and his identity is Saburo Sei's health doctor. He saw the conversation between Saburo Sei and Cai Meilin just now, as well as the expressions of Dong Bolin and Li Yu in the process. Hearing Saburo Sei's inquiry, he pondered for a while and said:

"Mr. Sei, I feel that this Boss Cai should have thoughts about the Golden Buddha, and it is even possible that he is here for this Golden Buddha."

"I can see it too." Saburo Sei said, "If they want the Golden Buddha too, then we will be in trouble, and the price of buying the Golden Buddha back may be far greater than we expected." ”

Xie Hongming nodded and said, "Yes, according to my observation, the bodyguard next to Boss Cai has a very deep kung fu and is by no means an ordinary person. People who can afford to hire this kind of bodyguard must have a lot of background. ”

"What do you see, Kuga-kun?" Saburo Sei asked his bodyguard Shira Kuga again.

Kuga Shira didn't understand Chinese, so he didn't understand a word of the conversation between Saburo Sei and Cai Meilin just now, and he could only observe the expressions of several people on the other side by feeling. Hearing Saburo Sei ask himself, he said: "I agree with Mr. Xie's judgment, that bodyguard does have some level, and I don't know what chance I can have of winning against him." ”

"How so?" Saburo Sei was a little surprised, "Kuga-kun, you are the elite of the Intelligence Headquarters of the Defense Agency, can't you even be the personal bodyguard of a Chinese businessman?" ”

Kuga Shira shook his head and said, "I feel a sense of oppression in him, and out of the intuition of a martial artist, I think he is a master who is on par with me. I very much suspect that he once served in the Chinese ** side, and even ...... He is still on active duty in the military. ”

Saburo Sei was stunned: "An active duty person in the military? You mean, this Boss Cai is hiding his identity? ”

"Not necessarily." Xie Hongming interjected next to him, "I look at his watch, like a very typical businessman. About him. We can go to Katsuuragawa to verify it later, and the people who can participate in this auction should be people with some foundation. ”

"What do you think of Boss Cai's follower?" Saburo Sei asked again.

"That's just a normal fellow." Xie Hongming said, "I don't think he is more than 20 years old. People of this age are not good at disguising themselves. The feeling of crampedness that he just expressed shows that he has no experience, and it is likely that he is Boss Cai's nephew, and this time he came out with Boss Cai to open his eyes. ”

Saburo Sei smiled, "I think this person may be of some use to us, what do you think?" ”

Xie Hongming comprehended. Hurriedly nodded and said, "I understand, I'll find time to talk to him." ”

After discussion, Xie Hongming stepped out of his tent and walked towards a green tent set up on the edge of the camp. At the door of the green tent, there was a local man with a short knife in his waist, and he saw Hongming coming, and the local drank a word, meaning that Xie Hongming must not continue to step forward.

"I'm looking for Mr. Sheng, my surname is Jie, and I'm his old friend." Xie Hongming stood still. and said to the natives in the dialect of country a.

The local didn't expect Xie Hongming to speak the local dialect, so he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then turned around and entered the tent. After a while, he walked out of the tent and said respectfully to Xie Hongming: "Mr. Xie, the boss invites you in." ”

Xie Hongming opened the curtain and walked into the tent. In the tent, a large-screen computer is placed against one wall, playing a martial arts movie made by some country. It's very lively. On the opposite side of the computer, on a marching bed, sat a big man, holding a beer in one hand and a roast chicken leg in the other. I eat with relish. Seeing Xie Hongming coming in, the big man pointed to the side with the chicken leg in his hand and said:

"Mr. Xie, sit down, do you want to eat something?"

"No need, thank you, Mr. Katsu." Xie Hongming sat down on the stool next to him. glanced at the content on the screen, and said with a smile: "Mr. Sheng, so Yaxing." ”

That big man is none other than Katsuurakawa, the leader of the Zhongdu gang. More than ten years ago, Katsu Puchuan was chased and killed by the enemy, was seriously injured, fled into the dense forest, and almost died of injuries, but luckily met Xie Hongming, who was collecting medicine in the dense forest. Xie Hongming used an exclusive secret medicine to revive Katsu Pu Chuan, thus getting into a relationship. Later, Katsuuragawa reorganized his forces, killed the enemy, and became the leader of this area.

The Zhongdu gang in Shengpuchuan is engaged in smuggling and stealing cultural relics, and it has little to do with Xie Hongming's profession. However, Xie Hongming is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and often needs to collect special Chinese herbs from this area. With Katsuuragawa's help, he didn't have to fly over by himself every time. According to Xie Hongming's explanation, Katsuuragawa arranged for the locals to help collect medicine, and after processing, it was sent to Japan. Xie Hongming is also generous, and he will pay a considerable amount of money every time, so the cooperation between the two sides has always been very pleasant.

This time, it was Xie Hongming who heard the news that the Zhongdu gang was going to auction the Golden Buddha, and then he told the news to his Japanese patron Takesaku Sei, an old man who had held a high-ranking position in the Japanese government. When Takesaku Sei, who was nearly 100 years old, heard the news, he was very excited, and immediately asked Xie Hongming to take his youngest son Saburo Sei to country A, claiming that he would buy back this golden Buddha at any cost.

Regarding the relationship between the Golden Buddha and Sei Takesaku, Xie Hongming did not inquire. However, after hearing that this golden Buddha was originally a Chinese cultural relic, Xie Hongming also guessed a few of the mysteries. You must know that Takesaku Sei was a lower-level officer of the Japanese army that invaded China, and maybe this golden Buddha was snatched back to Japan from China by himself.

Xie Hongming came to Japan with his parents when he was a child, and has been growing up in Japan since then, and is now in his 60s. He was able to speak fluent Chinese, but in his heart, he did not think of himself as a Chinese at all, but as a Japanese through and through. Sei Takesaku asked him to assist Sei Saburo to buy the Golden Buddha back to Japan, and Xie Hongming naturally agreed, which led to their trip to country A this time.

According to Sei Saburo's thoughts, since Xie Hongming had a life-saving grace for Katsuuragawa, he simply found Katsuuragawa and asked to buy the Golden Buddha at a suitable price, which also saved the trouble of auction. However, Xie Hongming did not agree to this request, he knew that although he and Katsu Puchuan had such a friendship, in the face of money, this friendship was very fragile. If it is a difference of 35,000 US dollars, maybe Katsuuragawa will give Xie Hongming a face, but he will not auction it, but only trade this golden Buddha at an appraisal, and Katsuurachuan will not agree.

Takesaku Sei is sure to get this golden Buddha, and he released words at any cost. He had a lot of money and it wasn't a big deal to come up with a few million dollars to complete the deal. Regarding the price of the Golden Buddha, Takesaku Sei also asked someone to do an assessment, and the conclusion was similar to what **** Qing knew, that is, about 5 million US dollars. Saburo Sei came this time to prepare a quota of $6 million for the purchase of this golden Buddha, and if there are no special competitors, this price should be enough.

Whatever is terrible, as soon as he saw Cai Meilin and his party in that big tent today, Xie Hongming felt that something was wrong. Although Cai Meilin covered it up, he still showed a lot of clues, showing that he had special thoughts about the golden Buddha. In this way, the shape of the Golden Buddha in the auction has changed, and if you don't get it right, let alone 6 million, it is 10 million US dollars, and you may not be able to win it.

If it ends up spending more than $10 million, Saburo Sei will probably go berserk, and Takesaku Sei will also distrust Xie Hongming, and even suspect that he colluded with Katsuuragawa to team up with Takesaku Sei's money. Xie Hongming's status in Japan was given by Takesaku Sei, and if he offended this big backer, his life would be sad in the future. Thinking of this, he also changed his original mind and decided to come to Katsuuragawa to talk.

Shengpu Chuan saw that Hong Ming wanted to speak and stopped, so he grabbed a wireless mouse, clicked a few times, turned off the video that was playing on the computer, and then sat up straight and said to Xie Hongming: "Mr. Xie, didn't you come with the Japanese this time, what, something to find me?" ”

Xie Hongming nodded and said, "I want to ask you about someone." ”

"Who?"

"Among the merchants who came this time, there is a man named Cai Meilin, who is from Chinese mainland, do you have his details here?" Xie Hongming asked.

Katsu Puchuan frowned and said, "Mr. Xie, if you ask like this, it will make me break the rules." I can't provide the information of these merchants to others, this is the rule of the trade. ”

Xie Hongming said: "I don't want to break your rules, I just want to ask, is this person a real businessman, or an official Chinese person?" ”

Katsuuragawa said: "I can sue you for this, he is a businessman, and he must have nothing to do with the official." I've checked, and he also participated in our Zhongdu auction more than ten years ago. This time, he was introduced to one of our old customers, and his credit is very good. He was able to introduce this Boss Cai, so he naturally knew Boss Cai's origins. ”

"Oh, then I'm relieved." Xie Hongming said. The circle of cultural relics is not too big, and if Cai Meilin is a pretending businessman, he will definitely be able to be recognized. Since he has a recommender, and he also participated in Zhongdu's auction more than ten years ago, there must be no problem.

"Do you know anything about his assets?" Xie Hongming asked again.

"I don't understand." Katsuuragawa replied, and then asked sensitively, "What, are you going to compete for the same thing?" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
