Chapter 507: Auction
Sixteen documents sit on the table.
Next to it is an ashtray full of cigarette butts.
He had a stubble on his chin and hadn't been home for three days, but Paul didn't feel tired at all.
As if to solve some puzzle, as if the truth is right in front of you, just one step, one small step, you can know the correct solution of the puzzle.
How can you give up?!
The forensic doctor called up the autopsy reports of the 16 girls at the same time, and used the national eye of heaven to recollect the timeline. Finally, a very inconspicuous common denominator was discovered.
"Caves?" Eric looked at the information on Qinglong's computer screen with some confusion.
Obviously, the deaths are all hideous, but they have not become resentful spirits. This incident itself is quite exceptional, at first glance there is no connection at all, but I never thought that these girls had ever passed by a cave.
"The mountain is a favorite among rock climbers and hikers because of its steep terrain and its eighteen bends. The children who study love to do outdoor sports. Qinglong scratched his short hair, which was a little messy.
After monitoring the police station for a few days, I finally saw something useful. I really don't know how these Mi police usually solve cases, but they never make good use of more convenient conditions.
"Isn't this what you ...... before" Eric still has an impression of this cave, and has been there with Gu Chengren before.
Could it be that there is a magnetic field in this cave? Can you wear life into a dream?
Qinglong took off his glasses and threw them on the table: "Anyway, it's finally connected." As for what methods these people used. It will soon be possible to surface. ”
Eric looked at the 16 corpses on the computer screen in amazement, it was a pity that he had died at such a good age.
But why didn't they tell Gu Chengren when they saw the murderer with their own eyes?
Eric's eyes lit up, put down the file and took out his mobile phone to call Gu Chengren.
The "bang" door was kicked open, and the white tiger took a newspaper and ran in excitedly.
"Outside the name, big news." The white tiger was panting, obviously rushing all the way back.
Qinglong was washing in the bathroom, his mouth was stuffed with a toothbrush, and his eyebrows were tightly twisted, and his head poked out: "Do you want to die?" Dare to kick Lao Tzu's door! ”
Bai Hu unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and poured half a bottle around his neck, before he breathed a sigh and said, "Big news." ”
Eric took the crumpled newspaper in White Tiger's hand and looked at the news on it in confusion.
"The Smiths have declared bankruptcy?!" Eric almost shouted.
Qinglong just spat out a mouthful of water. Surprised at the door of the bathroom: "Who?" Smith?! ”
I'll wipe it. His family is so rich that he can declare bankruptcy? The end of the world has arrived, right?
"What a joke!" Qinglong threw away the towel, walked over and snatched the newspaper from Eric's hand, and asked Baihu to call home while looking down.
The white tiger didn't care about the jet lag at all, and directly made a call to Xuanwu's mobile phone.
Xuanwu's phone is turned off. The white tiger snorted. I had to hit Suzaku hard. I dropped a mobile phone when I called Zuo Jichuan before. When he said that he was dead, he didn't dare to ignore the jet lag and bother Zuo Jichuan again.
But it turns out that even if you take 10,000 steps back and call Suzaku, the white tiger is in a catastrophe.
"Little kitten~You'd better have~ something important......" The voice on the other side of the phone was as eerie as if he had just climbed up from a well.
It's a big sun outside. But the white tiger shuddered: "Today's news on our side says that the Smith family has declared bankruptcy. ”
There was silence for a while on the ...... side, and a colder voice came: "So what? ”
Bai Hu's throat tightened: "A lot of things in their family have been put up for auction, you ask the young master to see if there is anything important, we will directly auction it and send it home." ”
“………………………… Wait. "Click, the phone hung up.
The white tiger touched the cold sweat on his forehead, what kind of parents did Nima raise a son like Suzaku?
In the dark, Suzaku lay on the soft pillow and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Ten minutes later, Suzaku sat up with his head propped up. Swipe your phone to see international news. At the top of the list was the news that the Smith family announced the auction of the bankruptcy estate.
After a moment of silence, Suzaku tore off the quilt and walked into the bathroom.
In fact, Zuo Jichuan hadn't slept at this time. took a cup of hot milk and leaned on the sofa in the monitoring room to watch the battle of the Central Plains on Chonghua's side.
Although Duan Yu is young and vigorous, the children who come out early are very good at using their brains, and they are definitely much better at how to fight than the children who come out of school.
A letter of flying pigeons was sent to the front line, and His Majesty the newly appointed emperor of Tantao almost did not personally roll up his arms and sleeves to tell the officers and soldiers on the front line how to fight.
But in this era of communication blockage, every minute and second is changing rapidly.
Just when Duan Yu's overall deployment was about to arrive at the battlefield in its entirety, Liu Zhen and Su Mi's army also arrived at the front line.
The three boys looked at each other for half an hour, and Lai Xiaochun accepted these two stinky boys who seemed to have obvious brains.
"Our emperor has specially ordered us to cooperate with the coming general." Although Liu Zhen's official tone is not very serious, he also holds a little shelf.
Lai Xiaochun waved his hand absently: "It's okay, I can guess what my sister-in-law says." The three of us just guard the door and don't let people in. There are no other rules. ”
Liu Zhen was stunned: "Sister-in-law? ”
Lai Xiaochun nodded: "Yes, the emperor of your country is my senior brother's daughter-in-law, isn't it my sister-in-law." ”
When I first heard the news, Koharu's three views collapsed. It's like standing at the gate of a new world, and I don't know if it's open or not.
Who would have thought that the woman who was shivering by Luo Chen's side before could become the king of a country, is there anything more mysterious?
Liu Zhen and Su Mi didn't know about Chonghua's past achievements, but they could detect from Xiao Haru's words that the little general in front of them was an acquaintance of their own emperor.
Unconsciously respectful of the attitude towards Lai Xiaochun.
Lai Xiaochun didn't see outside, and took them to the big tent to see the recent deployment. Let them get used to it as quickly as possible.
On the third day of Yoo Jin and Su Mi's arrival, Tantao's army once again pressed the border.
This time it's bigger and more extensive.
Duan Yu's idea is not bad, no matter how powerful he is in Xiaochun, he is not three-headed and six-armed, and there are always one or two who can squeeze in such a wide border. Once a gap is opened, a large-scale attack will not be a problem.
It's a pity that it's a step too late.
"So, how important the news is, it's really a bloody case." Zuo Jichuan sighed, put down the cup, and when he looked up, he saw Suzaku standing cleanly at the door.
"Didn't you go to sleep? I haven't had a good rest in days. Zuo Jichuan looked at Suzaku in some surprise.
Suzaku handed the international news of the bankruptcy of the Smith family to Zuo and Chuan.
Zuo Jichuan took the tablet. Looking down in confusion. When he saw the word bankruptcy, Zuo Jichuan was also stunned for a moment.
"Bankrupt? What kind of is this? Zuo Jichuan raised his head and looked at Suzaku.
Suzaku cut her hair. Nestled into the sofa: "I've checked, their house was set up, and it stopped in an instant." This incident caused an uproar on Wall Street, and many people in the securities industry were going crazy. ”
Zuo Jichuan squinted at the report: "I don't care how I lost. What do you want me to know about this news? ”
Suzaku looked at him: "White Tiger said that the Smith family's property is publicly auctioned. Ask what you're interested in and buy it back. ”
Zuo Jichuan is about to put down the tablet. Hearing Suzaku's words, he picked it up again: "What about the list of items to be auctioned?" ”
The things of the big family are not simply a symbol of luxury, you must know that the rich like to do things at home. There may be some secret hidden somewhere.
Suzaku covered his mouth and was silent for a while: "Do you think you can still leave something useful?" ”
Zuo Jichuan looked at the auction list passed by the white tiger seriously: "Hundred-year-old Wang clan." There are some things that the ancestors have hidden, and the descendants may not be able to find them. It's up to who's lucky. ”
With that, he tapped his finger at one of the pictures.
"This."
Suzaku leaned over to see an antique desk on the table.
"Something wrong with the table?" Suzaku was a little surprised. The table looked pretty thin, and it only had one drawer. It doesn't look like a good place to hide things.
The corners of Zuo Jichuan's mouth curled: "I have seen the pattern of this table in Qinghui Garden." ”
Suzaku was stunned, because they didn't follow Chonghua's dream from the beginning, and they took time to make up for the common things in the dream.
Among them, the architectural style is the most important. In order to make it easier to remember how many escape routes there were in the dream, they studied the various courtyard pavilions and pavilions.
The pattern on the left is a pattern inlaid in the cloister. At first glance, it is an ordinary flowing water pattern, but if you look closely, there are many scattered small petals floating in the water. It looks very fresh and elegant.
Such intricate patterns have gradually passed away in the long river of history, and in modern times, there is no such handicraft.
But no matter how you look at the old table at Smith's house, it is all handmade.
"I'll go and inform the white tiger to buy it." Suzaku picked up his tablet and turned around and went out.
Zuo Jichuan squinted at the battlefield full of flames and blood on the screen, holding the stubble that had just grown on his chin, and his fingers couldn't help but move gently.
It's not fun, just looking at it, it's really not fun.
The white tiger and the green dragon over there have already changed into suits, and the tickets were obtained by Eric through unknown channels, and the evening is the auction.
"Don't tell me vampires are everywhere." White Tiger straightened his bow tie and said to Eric a little depressed.
Eric leaned against the fireplace and smiled at the straight white tiger and the green dragon. Although Qinglong usually wears suits, most of them are casual, with a turtleneck sweater inside, and the smell of a university professor comes to his face.
Today, I wore a white shirt and a black suit, and I looked a bit of a killer.
"That's not it, I have this privilege, and anyone who auctions the property of a famous family in China will leave a ticket for me." Eric explained with a smile.
He is also an invisible aristocrat in the United States, and the really rich people can't see it when they walk on the street.
The mobile phone rang, and Bai Hu looked down at the text message: "Suzaku said that the young master wants the No. 203 product." ”
Qinglong knew in his heart that it shouldn't be a problem to mix in a table with the things he bought.
The auction took place in the afternoon. In recent years, due to the economic downturn, the government has set up a chamber of commerce to auction off private property.
Those who are interested can buy tickets to watch.
When Qinglong and White Tiger arrived at the venue, they actually met Alexander, who had not appeared for a long time.
Although Alexander was a little surprised, he also felt that it was reasonable, and smiled and greeted the green dragon and the white tiger.
"Shopping?" The White Tiger looked at Alexander with some wariness.
Alexander smiled and shook his head: "Find someone." ”
Qinglong frowned, Alexander would not find an ordinary person. Could it be that there is a problem with this venue?
The auction itself is weird, and it's possible to have something.
The seats did not close together, so they moved separately. I watched Alexander walk backstage. Qinglong's brows furrowed even tighter.
"Always be ready." Whispering to the white tiger, Qinglong pressed his waist.
Baihu looked at Qinglong speechlessly: "Boss, what the young master wants is a desk." I just need to be prepared in case something happens, and I can't run away with the table on my shoulder, right? ”
It's okay to grab things, and run with the table...... I can't even get out of the door.
Qinglong couldn't help but not roll his eyes: "If necessary, clear the field." ”
The white tiger's eyes lit up, yo, it's been a long time since there has been such a large-scale operation. Nodding enthusiastically.
He doesn't necessarily kill, but it's okay to bring everyone down.
The auction was held at three o'clock sharp. Everyone sat in the audience with their own hearts on their minds.
One commodity after another was pushed up, and the people below were not only scrutinizing, but also with contempt for the Smith family. Once dominant, the Smith family is not a good old man that everyone praises. Who's not doing anything dirty behind their backs. Some of the people who came to participate in the auction this time did not even come to buy things, but to laugh at the former Emperor Tu.
Not long after the start, Qinglong photographed several ancient porcelain items with overwhelming momentum. These are all national treasures that have been left behind, and you can change your villa in the capital if you take one of them out.
At first, there were still people choking with Qinglong, but after a few rounds, no one was willing to compete with Qinglong.
Qinglong itself has a face full of oriental flavor, and its noble and cold eyes make people's hearts beat just by looking at it. If you look at it with cold eyes, few people can bear it.
Commodity No. 203 was finally pushed up. Qinglong was not in a hurry to shoot. Instead, he watched with a scrutinizing posture.
There were successive outcryes, but the price was never raised too high.
The table looks so inconspicuous that it's hard to imagine what kind of country it is.
Suddenly, Qinglong held up a sign.
"One hundred thousand, Mr. No. 3 is asking for one hundred thousand, is there anyone else who has a higher price?" The auctioneer shouted, and at the same time, raised the small hammer.
"One hundred thousand once, one hundred thousand twice, one hundred thousand ......"
"Two hundred thousand!" Alexander smiled and held up the sign. (To be continued......)
