Subtitle of this chapter: Rock-paper-scissors

"Lot 250 of the special auction of Master Yuan Yanqi of Southby Auction House is also the finale of this auction......

"Yes, it's the famous photos "00" and "25" in a group of these two, also known as "rock-paper-scissors". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The photographer is Emma Pulitzer, the world's leading female photographer and journalist, and the first female editor-in-chief of an American newspaper. ”

"00, like Lot 249, was shot in the early morning of November 3, 1920, after Master Yuan's famous 'NYU Gambling Night'. He was indignant when he was arrested. In order to express his anger, Mr. Yuan raised his fists vigorously, and thus there was "00", a masterpiece that has been quoted countless times. ”

The photo "25" was taken by Mr. Yuan on November 18, 1920, the day he was discharged from the hospital. At that time, he had just recovered from a serious illness and was warmly welcomed by the citizens of New York, and he was very excited and happy to make this gesture. ”

"This auction item is an original gift from Ms. Emma Pulitzer to Mr. Yuan Yanqian. What's even more precious is that there is also Mr. Yuan's handwritten inscription on the back of the photo. Each one has two words on it, and the combination is a famous quote by Mr. Yuan Yanqi. Please take a look at ......"

“YOU ARE ALL 250！”

"'You're all two hundred and five!'. Someone once asked Mr. Yuan what he meant by this sentence, and he said that it means that as long as you work hard, everyone can become two hundred and five. ”

"Starting bid, $250,000 ......"

"Humph!"

Captain Aiden...... Well, it should be Mr. Wilton Aiden, a former federal agent.

He sat in the driver's seat of a car on the side of the street and watched coldly at the lively scene in front of him. Now the former federal agent who has resigned only feels that his scalp is itchy and his heart is swollen, and only alcohol can make him comfortable.

He took out a flat metal bottle from the inside pocket of his suit and drank a large sip of spicy moonshine whiskey, which suppressed the resentment in his heart.

This Chinese was warmly embraced by the ignorant masses, and he not only lost his promising career, but also left New York alone and left the BOI......

Wait, even if you leave BOI, it doesn't mean that you have to leave New York, and it doesn't mean that you have to give up the investigation of this Chinese and the people in the dessert shop.

General ZOD had originally made up his mind to go back to Texas to rest for a while, but when he saw this damn Yuan Yanqian so fooling the world and blinding public opinion, the sense of justice in his heart made him change his mind.

Didn't someone invite me to join Pinkerton's New York office? Alright then, I'll stay here.

YANSHU-YUAN, YOU WILL NEVER ESCAPE THE PUNISHMENT OF JUSTICE!

He started the car in hatred and slowly drove onto the road. Unfortunately, the man who was going to become a private investigator didn't notice the carriage parked on the other side.

And inside that carriage sat the real mastermind of the Wall Street bombing, as well as a female criminal who looked out for the wind.

Mr. Professor, who was biting his pipe, said kindly, "What a young man who listens to the blows." Ann, don't you say? ”

Miss Ainuka blushed, bit her lip and nodded.

Mr. Professor looked at her shy appearance and laughed "hehehe", which made the little dragon girl even more embarrassed, so she had to bow her head shyly. So she didn't see an ominous glint in the gracious old man's eyes.

"Alright, I'll get off here." Mr. Professor sorted out the clothes on his body and said, "You better go to the hospital and take care of Wanhezhuang with your mother, and you will have the opportunity to meet this Chinese in the future." ”

"Yes, Mr. Professor."

He nodded to the girl and got out of the car, and walked calmly towards Yuan Yanqian and the group. And the carriage slowly left the side of the road.

Our Master Yuan listened to the chatter and laughter of his friends around him, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw a decent old gentleman approaching him.

As if they had a heart, the two smiled at each other at the same time and nodded their heads as greetings......

"Neo, let's get in the car."

"Hmm!"

Yuan Yanqian, who had shifted his attention for a moment, turned his head to look for the old man again, but found that he had already walked into the noisy crowd and couldn't even see his back.

He had no choice but to frown and get into the car. The two cars left the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital one after the other.

"I said, Louie, you're going the wrong way. Didn't you say you would send me home? ”

In fact, Master Yuan was already able to speak, and there was no big problem except that he was a little hoarse and low. However, he felt that he was a bit shocked that he had become better so quickly, so he had to pretend that he had not regained his ability to speak.

Mr. Louis Baker, who was driving, looked at the other three people in the car and said with a smile: "That's right, it's to take you home." ”

That's right, three people. The other one was Miss Emma Pulitzer, who also squeezed in with her own acquainty.

Yuan Yanqian said strangely: "But my home is in Brooklyn, and that's to cross the Hudson River." Where are you going? ”

"Tired, you'll find out later." Miss Brown pursed her lips and smiled sweetly.

Well, now that I've made a promise, I'd better keep friends with this "Helen of Manhattan." Don't really start any "Trojan War".

He just smiled at Miss Brown and turned his head to look inquiringly at Mr. John McCall.

And the latter showed a sincere smile and said, "Neo, I am grateful for everything you have done for me. So I'm going to surprise you. ”

Our Master Yuan somewhat understood what he meant, but he still said politely: "John, John, I also want to thank you for being my lawyer for free, why are you here to give me a gift now?" ”

"No, no, no." The little fat man shook his head vigorously and said, "Even without me, you can get away with your own articles and novels, as well as the help of those Chinese." You really made me famous by pulling me in. ”

He paused and continued: "Several barristers have invited me to be a junior partner now, so I want to thank you!" ”

In fact, he was right, Yuan Yanqian only needs to delay for a while to detonate public opinion. However, if he hadn't been burned in the tongue, it would have been hard to say whether he would have escaped Captain Aiden's torture.

"What's more, you didn't and didn't ask for that $5,000 bet, and ......"

Mr. McCall glanced at Miss Brown, winked at Master Yuan, and did not continue.

Heck, I deserve to say that.

Yuan Yanqian, who was not thin-skinned, immediately felt at ease when she heard this.
