July 31, Holiday Inn Harman, Sukuda Prefecture, Japan.

A Mercedes-Benz taxi stopped at the door of the hotel, the waiter opened the door, a handsome young European man and a tall and beautiful Oriental woman got out of the car, the waiter took out the luggage in the trunk of the car, put it in the luggage cart, and the two entered the hotel lobby. The room was booked in advance, and the waiter led the two to the 22nd floor by elevator, and the two stayed in two door-to-door luxury suites in 2205 and 2206 respectively.

These two people are none other than Andre from France? Morality? Lotlin and Li Qiutong.

Andre said to Li Qiutong: "Miss Li, you take a rest first, I have made an appointment with Mr. Miyahe for lunch at 12 noon." ”

"Yes, Mr. Andrew."

At 12 noon, in the western restaurant on the 10th floor of the hotel, Andre and Li Qiutong leisurely sipped the red wine in the glass.

Andre: "Miss Li, thank you for asking me to do the appraisal this time!" You know, I don't know anything about Oriental antiques, and I wouldn't dare buy anything of value without you. After speaking, he raised his glass and touched Li Qiutong gently.

Li Qiutong took a shallow sip, "You're welcome, I'm actually very young, it's rare for you to believe in me so much." ”

"Yes, you are young and beautiful, but from the last collaboration, I have full confidence in your professionalism. Also, I don't want to deal with the energetic old pedants who are almost antiques themselves, and I'm sure the two of us will have a great time working together! Ha ha! ”

Li Qiutong smiled slightly, "You are my employer, I have the obligation to help you acquire the most valuable collectibles at the most reasonable price, and you are also very well paid, what reason do I have to refuse?" ”

At this time, a young man walked into the restaurant, and Andrei immediately raised his hand when he saw him.

The man grinned and walked up to the two of them and hugged Andre. "My brother, welcome to Japan! Is it still comfortable to live here? ”

Andrei said: "Thank you for your reception! It's a great environment. Let me introduce you to my personal advisor, Miss Lee, who is a first-class appraiser at the Drouot auction house and has a good understanding of oriental artifacts. ”

Andre bowed slightly and then stretched out his hand to shake hands with Li Qiutong, "Fortunately!" Miss Lee. I'm Miyaaibe, I've heard your name for a long time, and I know that last time you helped Andre sell the goods for a good price, so that he made a lot of money, otherwise, I guess the castle left by his ancestors would be lost in his hands! Ha ha! ”

The three of them took their seats, and André smiled and said, "Old friend, don't make fun of me, I admit that I was really short on money before, but not only will I not sell the castle now, but I am ready to completely renovate it." ”

Miyaai Ibe joked: "Brother, I heard that you sold that porcelain vase for 300,000 euros!" I really didn't expect it to be so valuable, but I really regret giving it to you so cheap!"

Adrei smiled and said: "Haha, of course this is the credit of Miss Li, Ibe, you have the goods but it is inconvenient to sell, and I can easily find a buyer in France to do the transaction." I need money, aren't you short of money? Isn't it a joy for us to work together to exchange those useless things for banknotes? If you have any other good things to take, this time I will give you a satisfactory price. ”

"We'll talk about business tomorrow, come, let's dine first." To welcome you to Sukuda, let's have a drink today! Tonight, I'll show you the charm of Sukuda! ”

That night, Andre and Miyaai Ibu went out to the bar for fun, and Li Qiutong naturally wouldn't go out with these two playboys.

In the hotel, Li Qiutong held a cup of coffee and stood on the balcony quietly enjoying the charming night view of Sutian. Under the moonlit night, the city is at night, the lights are bright, the streets are lit with neon flashes, and the traffic on the road flows with lampposts, like notes jumping restlessly in the orchestra pit, playing a disorienting rhapsody.

Li Qiutong looked at his watch, it was ten o'clock.

She turned and entered the room, and took out a dark green satellite phone in her handbag that was slightly thicker than a regular mobile phone, a satellite phone that uses China's Beidou satellite system, which is highly confidential and cannot be spied on, and has precise global positioning capabilities. Li Qiutong pressed his thumb to a small square touchscreen between the phone screen and the keyboard, the phone recognized the fingerprint and unlocked it, and then dialed the number on the keyboard.

Director Song Jingyu's voice came from the phone, "Hello, Li Qiutong, I'm Song Jingyu." ”

"Hello, Director Song, I have arrived in Sutian and stayed at the Harman Holiday Hotel."

"Okay, the satellite system has received your location coordinates, and the liaison office will immediately arrange a pick-up person near you. Remember how to call for help in an emergency? ”

"Remember, press the fingerprint lock and dial button at the same time for more than 3 seconds."

"Have you made contact with Miyai Ibe?"

"I saw it, it seems that the Miyaai Ibu still has goods to sell, and I agreed to bring them to the hotel tomorrow for inspection."

"How's your doing? Is it safe? ”

"My identity is Andrei's personal advisor, and Miyaaibe is very welcoming to us, so there is no problem with security."

"Okay, if you can take a few more photos after seeing the goods tomorrow, learn more information, and find out the source of the goods as much as possible. It's best to find a way to get access to more goods and find out if there's a place like a warehouse. But the most important thing is to keep yourself safe, don't act rashly, and feel free to contact me if there is a new situation. ”

"Okay, I'll be cautious."

"Xiao Li, I have something to tell you. The Miyaai family will be hosting a birthday party on August 4th, and we plan to send an action team to the Miyaai family to help you. They will arrive at Sutian on the 2nd, and the contact person is Wang Lang, who is the operation captain. At ten o'clock that night, they will contact you. ”

"Got it, in what capacity did they appear?"

"Their identity is that they are invited to participate in the Gonghe family's birthday party, and the person who brought them in is Fang Ming, you know."

"Fang Ming? Which Fang Ming? Li Qiutong was a little surprised when he heard Fang Ming's name, and he wasn't sure if Director Song was talking about Fang Ming in his heart.

"It's Fang Ming, the son of Professor Fang Wenyuan in Hong Kong, is he your boyfriend?"

"Well...... yes." Li Qiutong was a little shy, but even more questioning, "How could it be him?" ”

"He had nothing to do with the case we investigated, but he knew Masami Miyai, the daughter of Miyai Ehetoju, the president of Miyai Co., Ltd., so I asked him to help cooperate with our actions."

"What is his relationship with Masami Miyai?" Li Qiutong was a little jealous for a moment.

"Li Qiutong, don't think about it, Fang Ming and Masami Miyai are just teammates in extreme sports, and he agreed to participate in this operation because he cares about your safety, you are in danger now, you must pay attention to keeping a clear head." Song Jingyu knew her daughter's thoughts, and hurriedly reminded Li Qiutong.

Li Qiutong was originally a reasonable woman, of course she understood the meaning of Director Song's words, "Well, I understand, Director Song, please rest assured, this will not interfere with me, I will cooperate with them." ”

"Excellent! I'm reassured of you. From now on, your satellite phone will be kept on standby, I will keep track of your location at all times, and today's call will be like this, you should be careful. Good bye. ”

"Goodbye."

Li Qiutong hung up the phone, leaned on the bedside, watched the TV but was absent-minded, thinking about the word "warehouse" that Director Song said just now. Yes, this time I came not only to see a few goods, but the most important thing is to find the source of the goods, and it would be great if we could find the warehouse. Everything is unknown now, just wait for tomorrow and then improvise.

She then thought of Fang Ming again. I have been with Fang Ming for a few years, from gradually understanding each other to developing into a love affair later, but I haven't talked about marriage yet. Although Li Qiutong was born in a scholarly family, she is not a conservative woman, and when she and Fang Ming were on vacation in France last year, the two also went to ** and had a skin-to-skin relationship. Thinking of the infatuation between the two of them at that time, Li Qiutong's face couldn't help but fly a red glow. She is not obsessed with her boyfriend like an ordinary woman, she has an independent personality and has her own arrangements, not that she doesn't want to get married, but she has been affected by the family environment since she was a child, she is too obsessed with academics and has no time to take care of anything else, she sometimes even worries that once she gets married, she will lose the time and freedom to chase her archaeological dreams, so she immediately devoted herself to her studies without distractions after Fang Ming left. Now knowing that Fang Ming also went deep into the tiger's den for his own safety, his heart was moved and sweet. Immediately, I couldn't help but wonder if Fang Ming would have a relationship with Masami Miyai that was beyond ordinary friends? The current man doesn't have Megumi Yanagishita. A woman's mind is like this, and if she says she doesn't care, there will inevitably be a little bit of bad taste in her heart. After a period of cranky thoughts, he gradually fell asleep.

At the entrance of the Harman Holiday Inn, a Ford van with black glass windows drove by, turned into the alley next to the hotel, and quietly parked on the side of the road opposite the side door of the hotel staff passage. The driver looked up at the brightly lit hotel and turned off the engine, "Brother Hua, it's here." ”

On the wide seat, a middle-aged man said to the driver, "Applejack, you go down and go around, observe the terrain, and come back with some food and hot coffee." The three of us take turns tonight. This person is Liang Hua, the leader of the support team arranged by Director Song in Sutian.

Applejack, the driver, opens the door, gets out of the car, lights a cigarette, looks left and right, and walks along the side of the road.

Another young man in the car was operating a laptop on his desk with a satellite map of his street. The picture advances from the overlook map to a three-dimensional section of the hotel, on which there is a flashing red dot, and the screen advances to the 22nd floor of the hotel where the red dot is located, where Li Qiutong is staying in the room.

Liang Hua said to him: "Xiaofang, cut into the hotel customer service system, I want to know who lives on the 22nd floor, and look at the identity information of the guests." The screen of the hotel lobby is displayed on the No. 1 display screen, and the corridor monitoring screen on the 22nd floor is displayed on the No. 2 display screen, and all personnel entering and exiting the 22nd floor must be recorded. ”

"No problem, from now on, we will be the security room of the hotel."
