The first piece of information that Li Yi searched for was a scandal that came to light in the 90s of the last century, the "Nazi gold case" of a Swiss bank. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Swiss banks are known as the "safe deposit boxes of the world" because of the Bank Secrecy Act, the first banking law in the West, which was enacted in 1934.

Bank secrecy means that all people working in a bank, whether senior or rank-and-file employees, are not allowed to divulge any business-related information, even as simple as whether a person is a customer of the bank.

Swiss banks even allow customers to deposit under a code or code code due to secrecy laws.

The Bank Secrecy Act makes wealth stored in Swiss banks as safe deposit boxes. But another problem arises: if a person deposits a large sum of money anonymously in a Swiss bank, and he dies suddenly, without giving the bank a will and not having the opportunity to tell his family the password to withdraw the money at his deathbed, his deposit will remain in the Swiss bank forever and cannot be withdrawn.

This is the premise of the "Nazi Gold Case".

The "Nazi Gold Case" consists of two parts, namely the deposits of the Jews and the stolen money of the Nazis.

Before the outbreak of World War II, many Jews had large deposits in Swiss banks, but for well-known reasons, most of them were murdered in German concentration camps, and the account numbers and passwords of the money were reduced to ashes.

After the end of the Second World War, Swiss banks made only partial symbolic reparations, but hid most of their deposits. In 1989, the secret was revealed, but it has not been properly resolved.

Except for the deposits of the Jews, it was the stolen money of the Nazis.

During World War II, the Nazis went on a frenzy to plunder wealth for themselves. According to a report by the British authorities in 1945, the total amount of Nazi booty was estimated to be between $545 million and $550 million, almost equivalent to $4.6 billion today.

But in fact, this figure only includes the gold stolen by the Nazis from the vaults of the central banks of the occupied countries, while the exact figure of the personal property looted by the Nazis will remain a mystery forever. It has been documented that a small Nazi concentration camp alone was able to concentrate 10 kilograms of gold teeth every week.

In order to hide the presence, the Nazis hid the plundered gold in part in various parts of Germany and in the Reichsbank, and in other banks of neutral countries. Swiss banks were the ideal safe deposit boxes for large sums of Nazi gold.

Moreover, during World War II, Switzerland also used its status as a neutral country and its well-developed banking system to indirectly help Nazi Germany. This did not only include corporate transactions, but many high-ranking Nazi officials and even ordinary people transferred their stolen money to Swiss banks.

According to the analysis of this information, the list obtained by Li Yi may be the deposits of Jews in Swiss banks, or it may be the private deposits of the Nazis.

The capital letters on the front of the paper may be abbreviations of names, or they may be code names.

If it is a Jewish deposit, although it is nothing, it is a bit of a loss after all. But if it's Nazi stolen money, then there's no burden to pick it up.

But how can you tell which side these accounts belong to?

Li Yi scratched his scalp, and it was easy to think of a way to see when the account was opened.

If the account was opened earlier, then it should basically be a Jewish account, but if the account was opened late, especially after the Jews were massacred, then 8 out of 10. Nine will be the accounts of those Nazis.

Li Yi decided to send someone over to take a look first, after all, after so many years, he didn't know if these accounts had been claimed. Or, even if it is not claimed, it may have been dealt with under international pressure.

"Wegelin ......"

Looking at the three accounts opened in Wegreen Bank on the paper, Li Yi shook his head slightly. It's been a while since the bank collapsed, and even if he is the real owner of these three accounts, he can't recover the contents of the accounts, not to mention, he is essentially planning to be a robber or a thief......

Copied two of the 8 messages in front of him, and Li Yi called Gu Feng over. He planned to let Gu Feng go over to find out the situation first, and then deal with it according to the information fed back.

After telling Gu Feng in detail about the situation he judged, and repeatedly explaining Gu Feng's carefulness, Li Yi took out the jade bracelet he had just bought.

This bracelet, the identification result given by the spirit plate is that of Queen Victoria of England, if the evidence can be found, it will be a priceless treasure, otherwise, it is just a slightly special collection.

Although it is possible that the British royal family will keep a record of this jade bracelet, it is not easy to obtain this record, and he has no valid reason. Therefore, Li Yi wanted to take a closer look to see if he could find some clues from this bracelet.

At the moment, the most suspicious place on this bracelet is the black spot the size of a sesame seed.

According to common sense, whether this bracelet was given by the Qing Dynasty in foreign affairs activities at that time, or the British themselves in the Far East at that time, it is absolutely impossible to give such a defective thing to the queen, but ......

Li Yi took out a 40x magnifying glass from the toolbox, and the one he usually carries with him for treasure appraisal is a 10x one, he has used the magnifying glass to roughly see it before, and he has not found any secrets, and now he can only try this 40x one again.

The 40x magnifying glass is really unusual, just approaching the black spot, Li Yi found the clue, this black spot is really problematic!

"What does that mean?"

Under the powerful effect of the 40x magnifying glass, Li Yi saw that not only this black spot, but even an area about the size of a soybean near this black spot, the texture of the jade was a little wrong, and there was a reticulated mark that seemed to be flowing through water!

Almost everyone who plays jadeite knows that jadeite is divided into A, B and C. Among them, B goods, also known as bleached goods, are soaked in strong acid, corroded, and dissolved impurities and stains in the jadeite, and then injected with transparent resin by vacuum negative pressure method, and filled with jadeite with a loose jade structure after corrosion.

The refractive index of this resin is close to that of jadeite, and when polished, it is almost indistinguishable from high-grade jadeite.

However, there is no difference between this so-called, but the scene seen when the naked eye is observed or the magnifying glass is not enough, if you change it to a 40x or even 20x magnifying glass, you can find that there is still an essential difference between the two.

Due to the uneven hardness of the mineral particles that make up the jadeite, the polished jadeite particles are relatively large, and the jadeite surface can be observed by the naked eye under the reflected light, and the appearance of the jadeite surface can be seen to be slightly uniform and uneven, commonly known as micro-ripples.

If you look closely at this microwave under a magnifying glass, you will find that the transition between the undulations of the depression is smooth and uninterrupted. Moreover, even if the texture of a jadeite is a little worse, its primary particles have not been destroyed, but there are a little more secondary minerals.

However, B goods are different, because the jadeite is cleaned with acid and alkali to remove impurities, so it will leave a mark on the surface as if water flows, which is what we often call reticulation.

Is this small area pickled? What does that mean? Could it be that they are trying to hide something?

This time, Li Yi became interested, he thought about it for a while, then got up and took out a carving knife from the toolbox, carefully scraped the surface of this black spot twice, and then stared at the scraped thing and studied it.

The scraped thing is supposed to be a gelatin, but this gelatin is black and doesn't look like it was intentionally dyed, that's the color of the glue itself.

Pickled first, then filled......

However, others pickle and fill in to remove impurities and make the jadeite more beautiful, but you are deliberately creating defects, what is this for?

After pondering for a while, Li Yi decided to take a risk, he was going to use a carving knife to scrape off the surface of the gum, and if necessary, he was also going to scrape off all the pieces that had been pickled, even if the bracelet became worthless because of this, he would try to unlock the secret.

"Huh?"

Unexpectedly, just after a few scratches, there was a magical change in the bracelet, and the dark spots actually faded!

After taking the magnifying glass and staring carefully at the dark spots that had faded a lot for a while, Li Yi picked up the carving knife again.

Ten minutes later, the mystery was finally revealed, the place had not been pickled, but someone had dotted a small piece of black gum on the surface of the sesame seeds, and his purpose was to cover up the string of micro-carved letters under the black spots!

“a.victoria!”

A should be Alexandrina, which is the abbreviation of Alexandra, and Victoria, is Victoria! Alexandra. Victoria, this is indeed Queen Victoria's bracelet!

Li Yi waved his fist excitedly, but was immediately drowned out by a series of questions.

First of all, who carved this English name? Was it the jade carver who carved the bracelet, or was it added later? Also, who added this black gum? Why did he add these gums? If it's to cover up the name, it shouldn't be black, right?

Scratching his scalp, Li Yi picked up a magnifying glass and stared at the letters and studied them carefully. After a while, he determined that this should be the handiwork of the jade carver who carved the bracelet, because the treatment of some of the strokes was very similar to that of the two phoenixes on the surface of the bracelet!

"It seems that this jade carver is still a jade carver who understands English...... It's just that I know English, I can carve miniature carving, and the level of jade carving is also very good, whose work is this? ”

A few names flashed in his mind, Li Yi shook his head, the micro carving is okay to say, as for whether people can speak English, this thing can't be verified at all!

If you can't recognize the jade carver, you don't know the origin of this jade bracelet, which is a pity.

Because Li Yi hoped that this was carved by a master in the palace, in this way, this jade bracelet is likely to be a gift from Cixi Lafayette to Queen Victoria.

Of course, this gift is likely to be forced, but no matter what, this is also a treasure involving the two queens, and once it is determined, its value will rise and turn up. When Li Yi is ready to return it to the British royal family in the future, he will be able to offer higher conditions!

"It should have been forced by Cixi to sue for peace, right? Otherwise, who would have nothing to do and make such a complicated carved jade bracelet? You can't wear this thing at all! ”

Li Yi pondered for a while and felt that there was really this possibility, because this kind of being forced by power, not daring to resist on the surface, but wilting and wilting behind the scenes, there are not a few in ordinary life!

However, this reason is just to think about it, if you want to prove the origin of this jade bracelet, you still have to find other information.

With this problem solved, all that remains is the problem of dark spots. However, I am afraid that this problem is more complicated and unsolvable than whether this jade bracelet was given by Cixi or not. Li Yi pondered for a long time, but didn't find any clue, so he had to put away the jade bracelet.

"It's hard to ...... life"

He let out a long sigh and took the bronze sword that belonged to Ramses II aside.

Most of the information written on the paper taken out of the bag was some anonymous Swiss bank account. Although there are still many questions about the jade bracelet, it at least proves that it belongs to the former queen, so can this bronze sword also show something?

Holding the sword body in front of him, Li Yi picked up the magnifying glass with a magnification of 40 times, started from the handle, and looked at it little by little.

It's just that this time it's not as good luck as just now, this bronze sword, except for some rust and scratches, there is not a single molded line, where does this prove it?

"If you can't prove it, you can't prove it, anyway, there's nothing to exchange on the Egyptian side, just keep it in your hands and play slowly!"

Li Yi picked up the bronze sword and waved it a few times at will, feeling quite comfortable, he couldn't help but be interested, and jumped up from the side of the bed in one jump.

"Huo Ruyi shoots nine sunsets, like a group of emperors and dragons. Come like thunder to collect anger, like the river and the sea...... Damn, it won't be so unlucky, right? ”

Li Yi waved the bronze sword indiscriminately, while reciting the poems in Du Fu's poem "Guangongsun Auntie's Disciples Dance Sword Weapons", happy like a child, but he didn't expect to be so happy and sad that a sword slashed on the door frame of the hotel suite!

Originally, it was nothing to cut on the door frame, it was just a big deal to lose some money, but I don't know what was going on, this bronze sword that could cut copper coins in half with one sword, was broken at the moment when it hit the door frame!

That's right, this bronze sword was broken in two!

"My sister! This Nima is buying counterfeit and shoddy products! ”

Looking at the bronze sword less than half a foot long in his hand, Li Yi drove away Hongchen and Gu Feng, who rushed over when he heard the movement, and took off the other half that was stuck on the door frame.

However, just as he brought the two short swords to his eyes and wanted to see what was going on with the broken swords, suddenly, as if a lightning bolt fell from the sky and hit his head, and it seemed that countless divine beasts trampled through his heart, he suddenly "uh", and then coughed violently, almost coughing out his heart, liver and lungs!
