Chapter 483 Priceless "Golden Rooster Diamond" (13)
"That's really a diamond?!" Lin Haitao said in surprise.
Before, when Mr. Xianli had the huge golden diamond in his hand, he was full of suspicion, and he couldn't believe that there was such a big diamond in the world, and it was golden yellow, which was very different from the common diamonds.
"Of course!" He Qing nodded vigorously and said, "It is indeed a diamond, Mr. Li, they are not lying." β
"What the hell is going on?" Lin Haitao was puzzled, "Brother Qing, how did you know that Mr. Li had a huge diamond in his hand?" β
He felt very strange at the beginning, he didn't know when He Qing knew Mr. Li, as if he knew the other party very well, otherwise how would he know that the other party had a strange diamond in his hand.
"That's just what I've heard." He Qing said indifferently, lest Lin Haitao ask more, he quickly diverted the topic and said: "Haitao, Mr. Li is deeply hidden, he changed his name and surname, he is deliberately hiding his identity. β
"So what is his true identity? Isn't it just a Japanese? Lin Haitao asked rhetorically.
He Qing said: "It goes without saying that he is Japanese, but he is not an ordinary Japanese national, but a descendant of the Japanese army that invaded China, and his father and grandfather were Japanese devils for two generations, and I don't know how many Chinese he killed!" β
As he said this, his breathing gradually intensified, his face turned red, and his expression was obviously a little excited.
"His ancestors are devils?!" Lin Haitao was surprised, "Brother Qing, do you know him so well?" β
He Qing said: "It's not that I know him well, but it's easy to see. β
"How do you see that?" Lin Haitao asked him.
He Qing replied, "You can see it from that diamond. Didn't he make it clear when he showed us the diamond just now? He said it was handed down from his ancestors. It is an heirloom of their family. As I said earlier, the diamond in his hand was once a national treasure of our country and was priceless, but unfortunately, it was plundered by the Japanese during the Anti-Japanese War, and its whereabouts have been unknown since then, and now it is finally alive. β
"What a national treasure?! Are you so sure? Lin Haitao still couldn't believe his ears, if he hadn't heard He Qing talk about it, then he would never have imagined that that the incomparably large golden diamond was actually a great treasure of his country.
"Definitely!" He Qing nodded solemnly. "You probably don't know. The diamond is both golden and resembles the outline of a chicken, so it is called the 'Golden Rooster Diamond'. β
"Indeed!" Lin Haitao nodded hurriedly in agreement, when he was looking at the diamond. He felt that way too. I think the diamond looks like a chicken. But it was the first time he had heard of the "Golden Rooster Diamond", and he didn't know that there was such a huge treasure in the past.
"Brother Qing, how did the 'Golden Rooster Diamond' come about? What's the story behind it? Lin Haitao then asked again.
He Qing said: "It is said that the 'Golden Rooster Diamond' was originally in the autumn of 1937. A poor local farmer named Luo Dianbang, when he was plowing the ground in the vegetable garden, accidentally picked up a diamond, which weighed twice and amounted to 281.25 carats. The diamond is as big as a walnut, yellow and transparent, dazzling, like a chicken that has just come out of the shell, and is produced on the 'Golden Rooster Ridge', so it is called 'Golden Rooster Diamond'.
After Luo Dianbang got the diamond, he thought he had made a windfall, but the news reached the township chief Zhu Xipin. Later, the surnamed Zhu was coerced and lured to deceive the diamond into his hand. Soon after, the matter was known to a local police chief surnamed Zhang. After intimidation, Director Zhang snatched the diamond again. Afterwards, Director Zhang informed Luo Dianbang to go to the police station to pull 800 catties of wheat. Luo Dianbang tried to reason with Director Zhang but failed, and was kicked out of the door. After returning home, Luo Dianbang died of grief. In the spring of 1938, Lin, Tan and other places were occupied by the Japanese invaders, and the diamond was snatched from Director Zhang by Kawamoto Dingxiong, an adviser to the Linyi Puppet Daoyi Office.
"It is rumored that after Kawamoto Toshio got the diamond, he caused an incident of competition for the Golden Rooster Diamond among the upper leaders of the Japanese invasion of China. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the whereabouts of the diamonds are unknown......"
He had seen the story from the book, but he had seen the true origin of the "Golden Rooster Diamond" through his eyes, and he now knew better than anyone else the ins and outs of the huge diamond.
The story recorded in the annals is similar to what he saw, but there is only the present part of the "Golden Rooster Diamond" in the historical materials, and there is no record of its whereabouts later, because the whereabouts of the thing are unknown not long after it appeared.
"Its origin is so tortuous!" Lin Haitao sighed, "So, Mr. Li's ancestor is Kawamoto Dingxiong, his real surname is Kawamoto, right?" β
He Qing nodded lightly and said, "Well, it should be." His grandfather was a Japanese coward. After so many years, I am afraid that many people have forgotten the sad history of that national treasure. I've heard people say that after Mr. Li inherited the diamond, he was very high-profile and went around publicizing that the diamond was the largest 'yellow diamond' in Asia, but he never said the true origin of the thing, he just told a lie to deceive the public, saying that the diamond was mined in a place in Japan. β
Of course, these things were not what he had heard people talk about, but what he saw "with his own eyes" from the video records condensed by the diamond "treasure light", which was much more real than hearsay.
"He's shameless!" Lin Haitao said angrily, "What was snatched from us Chinese brazenly said that it appeared in their own country!" Brother Qing, do you want to report this matter? β
"Escalate?" He Qing smiled bitterly, "To whom do you report it?" Public Security Bureau or Cultural Relics Department? β
Lin Haitao said: "It's okay, we can't watch the lost national treasure in the hands of such an odious Japanese!" β
He Qing said: "I'm afraid it's not that easy." Although the thing was looted by the Japanese during the Anti-Japanese War, the diamond was very special, it was neither owned by the state at that time, nor did it have a clear authoritative record, and if Kawamoto insisted that it was not the one we were looking for, we would not have sufficient evidence to prove it. β
"Then do you just watch that guy get color everywhere with the 'Golden Rooster Diamond'?!" Lin Haitao frowned and said.
"Of course not!" He Qing said in a deep voice, "So we have to find a way." β
"What can you do?" Lin Haitao was in good spirits, he knew that He Qing was a wise star, and the other party must have a way to get Kawamoto to return the diamond to China.
He Qing said: "It's to take that diamond back, to get back what we deserve." Haitao, you know now, why did I deceive Mr. Li so badly? Ancestor Kawamoto killed a lot of people, so the punishment is still very small for his family, and what he has to do now is to take out the diamond, at least so that he can let them go! β
"Well, I have to get it back!" Lin Haitao said, "But the things are in his hands, and they keep them very tightly, how can they come back?" Is it difficult to pay for it? β
He Qing shook his head and said: "It is not feasible to buy, even if he is willing to sell, we may not be able to afford it, it is a priceless treasure, there is no value to measure, he can sit on the ground and start the price, and it is not too much to pay." β
"So how?" Lin Haitao was suddenly in trouble, and he didn't know what else He Qing could do besides reporting and acquiring.
I only heard He Qing reply: "I won't get a penny back." β
"Could it be...... Steal? Rob? Or is it a lie? Lin Haitao lowered his voice and said.
He seemed to understand the meaning of He Qing's words, that thing was taken from Mr. Li for free, so what other tricks could there be besides stealing, robbing, and cheating.
He Qing said: "It's not sure yet, don't worry. Haitao, there must be a way. Now we have to do two things, one is to keep in touch with Mr. Li and them, and the other is to inquire about the situation to see what the purpose of Mr. Li's visit to China this time is, and how he will arrange his next trip. β
"Well, it has to be done." Lin Haitao nodded without hesitation and agreed, "Brother Qing, I will listen to you." β
As soon as he thought that He Qing wanted to find a way to get back the golden rooster diamond that was like a national treasure from Mr. Li's hand, he couldn't help but boil his blood, and he couldn't wait to take action immediately to get the things back, but he knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and the time was far from ripe now, and it depended on He Qing's further arrangements.
"Brother Qingβ"
He Qing and Lin Haitao were whispering on the side to discuss the matter of the "Golden Rooster Diamond", and Suning, who was waiting on the side, suddenly walked up and greeted loudly.
"Hmm. Suning, what's the matter? He Qing reacted and asked.
Suning said: "It's not too early, you won't forget what you promised me, right?" β
"I won't forget jì, since I promised you, I must accompany you to participate." He Qing shook his head in response.
In the morning, Suning indirectly gave him a precious piece of porcelain, she had no other requirements, she just hoped that the other party would accompany her to an ordinary party in the evening.
He Qing agreed at that time, it was nothing to attend the party, and now he decided to stay here in Jingnan for a few more days, so it is idle to be idle, and it doesn't hurt to go.
"That's good." Suning said happily, "Then let's go later, it's past five o'clock, and we have to rush to the party place at seven o'clock." β
"Well, no problem." He Qing agreed without thinking.
After chatting with Lin Haitao for a while, He Qing and the others said goodbye and drove to the place where they were attending the party.
In the car, He Qing's mobile phone rang suddenly, and when he caught a glimpse of the caller ID on the mobile phone screen, at that moment, he felt an inexplicable surprise in his heart.
It was none other than Mr. Li, who had a golden rooster diamond in his hand.
He waited for this call, and when he got close to the other party, he could inquire about the matter and try to seize the priceless diamond. (To be continued......)
