Chapter 298: That, Okay...... Doesn't count?
"If I'm not mistaken, this painting seems to be worth a lot, right?" Xu Chen said, narrowing his eyes dangerously, and pressed the lighter in his hand.
With the snapping of the lighter, Ah Fei's heart also reached his throat, and he was about to rush forward while looking at the painting sadly.
Just after a "snap", the fire did not burn as scheduled.
"Oh? What's going on? Let me see...... It turned out that the lighter fell off ......" Xu Chen held the lighter, pretended to check it, and asked himself a few more words in front of Ah Fei, and then gently turned the button on the lighter to adjust the fire, and then pressed it again.
"This should be okay, right?" He raised his eyebrows slightly, dodging Ah Fei's snatch, and moved his gaze to the painting again.
"Okay, I'm scared of you! Whatever you want, just ask! Otherwise, I'm afraid that the next moment, I will regret it again......"
After tossing so much, Xu Chen was waiting for his words, so as soon as his voice fell, he immediately took the first step and pressed his arm, and those cold eyes stared at Ah Fei so closely: "Let me ask you, who picked them up?" β
"It could be Dennisβ"
"Dennis? Who is he? β
"He is Qin Yan's current husband, and I found out that he just came to China yesterday, so it is possible that he picked up Qin Yan's ......"
"Qin Yan's husband? Then it's enough for him to take his wife, is it necessary to take Xiao Jiu with him? β
"I don't know about this, anyway, this person is very dangerous, and he has always disliked playing cards according to common sense, so his thoughts, sorry, I can't guess ......"
Speaking of this, Ah Fei took advantage of Xu Chen's stunned efforts to snatch the painting from his hand at once, and then held it in his arms like a treasure, as if he was holding the most important treasure in the world.
"Look at your money-obsessed look, it's just a fake, do you need to be nervous like this?" Looking at Ah Fei's appearance, Xu Chen couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Fakes? How can it be? This is a specially photographed ...... from the exhibition hall and has been professionally appraised."
"Experts may not be able to identify it, this is a painting of the Tang Dynasty, but this rice paper is only available after the Ming Dynasty, what is it if it is not a fake? It's just that even if it's a fake, it's an imitation of the Qing Dynasty, so strictly speaking, it's an ancient painting, and it's worth millions......"
Xu Chen glanced at the painting again and said lightly.
"What? Only a few million? I spent 50 million to shoot it......" Ah Fei's face was instantly deflated, and the painting in his hand was loosened, and then he threw it on the sofa casually.
"Is that alright? Playing collecting, there is always a time to look away, you are okay, I have seen someone spend a lot of money to buy a very worthless urinal, his loss is complete...... But is it? If you can help me, I wouldn't mind giving you the real thing......"
Xu Chen first glanced at the painting contemptuously, and then changed his words, and said these words to Ah Fei with a light smile.
"The real thing is yours?" Ah Fei suddenly grabbed Xu Chen's sleeve happily.
"Of course." He nodded slightly.
"Well, tell me, what are you going me to do for you?"
"Don't need any help? All you need to do is investigate the hotel where Dennis is staying and his background......"
"Well, I've already found out, he lives in the presidential suite of the largest Royal Hotel in the city center, I don't know which one exactly, but the 13th floor is almost covered by him, so you just need to go to the thirteenth floor, as for his back, it's not a big secret, since you grew up in the United States, you should be very clear about this, right?"
After Ah Fei finished speaking, he patted his head thoughtfully: "Oh, I forgot, you are not Mu Yao, although you have also studied in the United States, but you sons and brothers, you should not have been in contact with these underworlds, about Dennis, I think Xia Rulie is more familiar, because Xia Rulie is in the United States, and he does not dare to provoke him easily......"
"Oh? Is he a man in the American underworld? β
"Sort of, but it's not strictly an underworld, in fact, he is also a serious businessman in essence, but he privately controls one of the largest assassination organizations in the United States, and the killers in it are all top-notch, the top ten killers in the world, 8 of which are under his control, any of them can easily sneak somewhere to assassinate anyone, including the president of the United States, as long as they want to make a move, they are also sure......"
"You've said so much, and he's just mastered an organization that can't be put on the table for a long time......" Xu Chen narrowed his eyes disapprovingly, his expression was very contemptuous.
"Can't get on the table? Yes, so what? Some big gangs in the United States have to respect him? After all, no matter how defensive he is, there will always be times when he misses, as long as he wants to secretly kill anyone, he has almost never succeeded? Including the fact that he once had a killer under his banner, and he was removed from his organization because he did it twice to kill a certain political figure......
"So strict? And who is the one who was removed? β
"Oh, you should know this person, she is Bai Wei, and she has protected Miss Jiang for a long time!"
"Oh? It's her? β
He was most familiar with this person, and he strongly recommended it to Ye Ning at that time, because he had investigated Bai Wei, so he was very relieved of her skills, and now it seems that each of the eight people under his command is stronger than Bai Wei......
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be silent for a long time, at this time, if Ye Ning hadn't had an accident, then he, Ye Ning, Jiang Xiaonan, plus Xia Rulie, might be able to barely probe Dennis's foundation, but now, Xia Rulie no longer has the previous trust in him, and now he is also suspicious of him, plus Xiao Jiu is not there, it is estimated that Xia Rulie will not buy him any account.
"I know someone who might be able to help our ......"
Xu Chen was silent, and suddenly Jiang Xiaonan spoke.
"Who? Jack ......"
"Jack? What about my shredded meat? Lu Ming listened to Jiang Xiaonan's words, and almost couldn't straighten up with laughter, but Ah Fei was rare and serious when he heard this.
"Are you talking about that Jack from America's No. 1 Gang?"
"Yes."
Seeing Jiang Xiaonan nodded, Ah Fei couldn't stand steadily, and he almost fainted: "It turns out that you still know this person, he and Dennis have been fighting openly and secretly all these years, and they should be able to help you, the gold medal killer cultivated by Dennis, this was not the year before last and he poached one, this Jack's strength is also very mysterious, I didn't expect you to recognize this person......"
When Ah Fei said this, his eyes were straight, and he seemed to be very envious of Jiang Xiaonan.
However, Jiang Xiaonan's expression was very ordinary, as if this was such an ordinary little thing: "I just happened to meet Jack's sister when I was studying abroad, so I naturally met him......" Speaking of this, he couldn't help frowning, as if Jack's sister was such a difficult character.
"Oh, so there's really a rose? Haha, isn't she the little girl who once chased China for you, haha...... I remember that you tried to hide from him, but you hid in my detective agency for a week, and then you were still found, haha......" Lu Ming couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Jiang Xiaonan's embarrassment.
"Oh? It turns out that you once had such a fragrant history? It seems that as long as you get out of the horse, you will definitely be able to do it......" Xu Chen suddenly glanced at Jiang Xiaonan with deep meaning.
"What nonsense, Kailin, she has been married a long time ago, and she hasn't contacted me much later, but Jack has been in constant contact with me since then, like when he was competing for help, I also secretly provided some financial support......"
"Huh? That way, things are much easier! Xiao Nan, you still know such a powerful friend, why didn't you introduce me to me in the first place, you, it's too boring! Lu Ming said, and patted Jiang Xiaonan's shoulder dissatisfied.
"What is there to introduce? Your business, no matter how much you toss, can't toss the ...... abroad"
"But there are always many ways to have more friends, right? Besides, how do you know that I can't do it, maybe one day, my branch will open to the United States? Hmph, the detective industry has a very good future, and it is in line with my taste to be in the international market......" Lu Ming patted his chest proudly and said.
Xu Chen just glanced at them lightly, and then went out casually with the phone, but he didn't expect it, but he was stopped by the sharp-eyed Ah Fei: "That, the famous painting that was said to be good, does it count?" β
"Well, of course it counts, but the one in my house is a fake, and you seem to be a ...... Genuine ......" After Xu Chen finished speaking, he squinted his eyes like a fox, and pushed the door out.
"What? Are you kidding me? β
"What's wrong with you? Haha, you're stupid to be tricked......" Lu Ming glanced at Ah Fei gloatingly, and hurriedly walked out behind Jiang Xiaonan.
"Xu Chen, stop! If you go to the hotel so rashly, you will definitely be surprised! β
"Otherwise, wait for you to negotiate with Jack and ask him to send someone to help? Jiang Xiaonan, by that time, I'm afraid that Dennis would have taken them back to the United States a long time ago, if Xiao Jiu had three longs and two shorts, would you be responsible? β
"Xu Chen, of course I know your scruples, but we have to sum it up first, Jack actually has a murderer under him, he came to China a few days ago, I will contact that side first, make a temporary appointment with him, and then go to the hotel tonight to find out the situation, otherwise, you rush over, what if Xiao Jiu and they are not there at all? What are you going to do then? β
