Chapter 406: Coincidence

Use the spirit card to confirm that this oil painting is indeed the missing "Naked. After "Body Maha", Li Yi couldn't help but wonder, who is this Kusta's grandfather, why did so many friends give him gifts, and they all gave him some good things?

Although Costa felt a little embarrassed when he mentioned this issue, he finally told the truth,

"When my grandfather was younger, he was a personal bodyguard for a high-ranking officer of the Italian military during World War II. And that high-ranking official happened to be in charge of liaison between several countries in the Axis alliance at that time, so both the Japanese and the Germans were very polite to him......"

Li Yi suddenly, I see!

It turned out that both the porcelain and the oil painting in front of him were all looted by the Nazi invaders at that time! That...... What else is there to be polite?!

"If Mr. Costa wants to sell this painting, I can also pay 20,000 euros!"

When Li Yi quoted this price, he actually felt a little ashamed of his own shamelessness, and his behavior was no different from those invaders at that time. But then he found a reasonable reason for himself, he was doing the right thing for heaven!

Moreover, instead of letting this famous painting pearl be buried here, and at some point it may be thrown away as garbage, it is better to give it to him to do something meaningful, and it can return to where it should go and enjoy its former glory again!

"You say this painting, it's worth 20,000 euros too? Oh Shet, I knew it! Good thing I didn't listen to those guys! ”

Costa waved his arms excitedly. Then he said:

"Just the other day, a friend of mine, he brought an old Japanese man. Come and visit me for something else. They also saw the painting at the time, but did you know Lee, the old Japanese man actually only offered two thousand euros! Two thousand euros! Oh my God, I'm glad I wasn't moved by what they said! ”

Costa looked very happy, and the last trace of shame in Li Yi's heart disappeared with this passage, and sure enough, there was no most shameless. Only more shameless!

It's just that since the Japanese have been here, these pieces of porcelain ......

"Hahahaha. Are they fools when I am? Although my grandfather was only the bodyguard of the big man at that time, I think that the gifts given to him by those people would be more than 2,000 euros, even if they were not worth much. So at the time, I didn't even mention that I had Japanese porcelain. Just dealt with it and sent them away......"

Li Yi let out a long breath of turbid air. Fortunately, it's okay, it's good that this guy is still a little smart, otherwise, his loss is a trivial matter, and he will lose a lot!

"Of course, my twenty years of police officers have not been in vain, and I knew there was something wrong with their expressions at that time! Of course, it's because of their reminders. So when I saw that you were interested in that coffee cup, I immediately found you. Speaking of which, I should thank them! ”

Seeing the excited expression on Kusta's face, Li Yi secretly wiped a cold sweat. Indeed, you should thank them properly, but what you don't know is that although you were lucky enough to escape the first wave of robbers, you personally brought the second robber into your own home, and you actually treated him as a guest!

Ma Ma, this world is too sinister!

Forget it, let's go back and pray in the temple, I hope this guy will never know the truth, otherwise, he will really cry to death like his name!

The fast payment and signing agreement, Li Yi pocketed this heavy treasure that is likely to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars!

After doing all this, he looked at the smiling Costa and said:

"Officer Cousta, now you should believe I'm just an ordinary antique dealer, right? So, can you tell me the number of that boss? I really just wanted to buy him an antique piece of furniture. ”

Hearing Li Yi say this, Kusta didn't even hesitate, and directly picked up the phone and called back to the police station, and soon got the phone number.

"The guy's name is Alfred, and he is said to be very cunning and often tricks customers with some questionable antiques. So, Lee, you must be careful, if you find any problems, you must remember to notify me as soon as possible, you know, although our police department manages that market, but none of us will believe that the things they sell will be real antiques! ”

Li Yi wiped a cold sweat again, fortunately they didn't believe it, otherwise he would have found a guy who had studied Huaxia porcelain to help him take a look at the set of flower god cups, and it was estimated that he would have nothing to do with it for a long time......

After figuring out that this time it was so thrilling, Li Yi decided that he must find something to make up for it, otherwise he would be so sorry for his brain cells that were scared to death.

Others want to make up for it, most of them are to eat a good meal, but Li Yi is different, because the object of his tonic is the lucky guy who took the initiative to bump into the door of Hengshan father and son.

Saying goodbye to Kusta, Li Yi told Lan Zhu Alfred's phone number, and then, he dialed the phone number of Hengshan Jinglu.

"What, Mr. Li actually has a piece of Master Abe's Bihai Kutani Boiling Water Finger there! Wait, I'll tell my father right away! ”

Hanging up the phone, Li Yi knew that he probably underestimated those few pieces of Jiugu roast...... However, since Yokoyama Yasuji revealed this information, then ......

He didn't realize that his thoughts at the moment were exactly the same as those Chinese people who had just known the value of their antiques in his impression!

A moment later, the call from Hengshan Jinglu didn't wait, but Lan Zhu's call came in,

"We were a step late, and that afternoon, not long after you left the market, the guy sold the desk to a Japanese......"

Japanese again? Damn, do you want to be so ghostly?!

Suddenly remembering Hengshan Jinglu, who had just called, Li Yi couldn't help but shudder, damn it, it can't be such a coincidence, right?

"Then did you ask him what that Japanese man looks like?"

"Asked, it's an old man and a middle-aged man, and the old man has gray hair......"

I'll go! I didn't expect it to be the two guys of Yokoyama father and son! Now, I really have to think about it.

Half an hour later, the phone call from Yokoyama Jinglu came,

"Mr. Li, where are you now? If it's convenient, let's meet? ”

Li Yi nodded, if they really couldn't bear not to look for him, he would also find a way to talk to them, because the longer that desk was in their hands, the more likely it was to be recognized. Although this possibility should be very small, he does not dare to gamble, and there is no need to take this risk.

After the two sides made an appointment to meet at the same pizza place last time, Li Yi took Hongchen and took a taxi directly to a bank of Italy in the downtown area.

Intesa Sanpaolo Bank is currently the largest banking group in Italy, and now Li Yi is carrying five heavy treasures worth more than 100 million yuan, including the Ganesha wood carving and topaz pendant, plus he had met a female thief before, which made him dare not be careless.

The staff at the Bank of Intesa São Paulo were very enthusiastic, but when they saw that Li Yi was still carrying a huge oil painting, they couldn't help frowning.

"Sir, at present, the relatively large safes of our branch have been rented out, so I would like to negotiate with you to put these things of yours in another branch, I don't know if you ......"

Li Yi frowned, he actually wanted to put it somewhere else? That's anyway, he's the most familiar with this area, and besides, this thing doesn't have to be put in a designated bank, he remembers that this one seems to be a big bank opposite.

"Oh Sauri, sir, will you please wait a moment? I'll ask the leader right away and see if I can coordinate it for you. ”

When the staff saw that he was leaving, they were a little anxious, and hurriedly opened the door of the reception room and ran out.

Unexpectedly, he just went out and saw the leader who was patrolling,

"Oh, Mr. Bob, it's great that you came here, and now there's such a guest......"

After briefly introducing Bob, the staff led him into the reception room.

Bob is a tall middle-aged man with a handsome face, but if Li Yi had seen the family of the female thief, he would definitely be able to recognize this person, this person is Count Bob, Triss's father!

Because Kusta didn't have anything special for packaging oil paintings at home, the oil paintings that Li Yi brought to the bank were simply covered up with a few newspapers. The woman's head, and then, his brow furrowed.

"You go and tell Chris, just say I said it, and ask him to check the spare safe number three again, and when it's ready to use, please let me know."

The staff agreed to leave in a hurry, but Bob hesitated and said to Li Yi:

"Hello sir, we will use the spare safe to take over your business immediately, but before that, I have a personal reluctant request, may I see this oil painting of yours?"

Hearing this, Li Yi also frowned. But then it occurred to him that the things wouldn't be here for two days anyway, and even if he recognized them, there shouldn't be any problems, so he nodded, got up and uncovered the newspapers that were simply pasted on the glass of the picture frame with transparent glue.

"Shhh

With a simple glance, Bob gasped, and then, he bent down to examine the lower left and right corners of the canvas carefully, then got up and hesitated:

"Sir, the inscription of this painting...... Is it on the back of the canvas? It is not Francisco. Goya's "Nude. The body of Maha"? ”

Li Yi couldn't help but have a headache when he saw that he actually recognized this painting at a glance, and Bob saw his expression and immediately realized that he had made a mistake, and quickly explained:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, because I'm so surprised, I'm so sorry, as an employee of a bank, I shouldn't have done that. But sir, I am so surprised, so can you leave me a contact form? I'd like to invite you to lunch! (To be continued.) )
