We interrogated Zhou Changshou for almost a night, asking him to carefully describe the appearance and characteristics of the various people of the two buyers who came into contact with him and write down their contact information.

Zhou Changshou was very cooperative all the way, and seemed to be more cooperative the more he went to the back, and occasionally showed a grinning expression, and the two colored eyes slipped towards me. I'm not so annoyed, I think that this kind of life and death situation doesn't know that a person who reins in his inferior nature will die an ugly death sooner or later, and he doesn't have to worry too much about him, but I can see that the old lazy person is very angry at him and looks at me, and he endures it very hard, and it is estimated that when he finishes asking and uses it, he will kick his feet and give him two ear scrapers.

Seeing that it was past four o'clock in the morning, I sat and combed through the whole situation again, and made sure that there was nothing to ask, so I asked the lazy lazy to tie up the goods, tie them blindfolded, throw them in the trunk, and throw them out in the trunk and throw them in whichever garbage can they were.

Zhou Changshou probably thought that he was very familiar with us, and he could spray out everything, and immediately called out after listening to my instructions: "Hey, don't be so ruthless, right?" Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge? ”

I gave him a blank look and stared at him coldly, staring until I suppressed my momentum and regained my identity and situation.

During the whole process, the old lazy didn't ask a few questions and didn't say much, which would suddenly be a little energetic, looking at Zhou Changshou with half-squinted eyes, smiling wickedly, throwing a cigarette to him, waiting patiently for him to finish smoking, and then suddenly said something to him that I didn't expect.

He said, "All right, hand over the things." ”

This made me a little surprised, but Zhou Changshou was not surprised, but panicked. His last puff of cigarette was still in his throat, and he choked hard, coughing on the spot, but obviously using the cough to hide his panic, his eyes rolled drippingly, and he quickly thought about countermeasures.

The old lazy man acted like he had endured enough to endure him, how could he have the patience to let him slip, stood up with a bang, picked up the short knife that Xiao Hai handed him before and put it in Zhou Changshou's neck, and shouted fiercely with a hideous expression: "Be honest and hand over the things, you still have the life to go out, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind!" When Lao Tzu came out to mix with society, you didn't know where to eat shit! ”

This is the posture of the underworld, I was stunned when I saw it, and I never thought that the old lazy still had such a side.

Zhou Changshou immediately followed a deflated ball, almost cried, shouting: "I'll pay!" I'll deliver! If you take the knife away, I can't hand it back! ”

The old lazy took the knife away, his eyes were still staring fiercely, his temper was tight, and he could stab him at any time so terrifying, even I was a little panicked, for fear that the white knife would enter and the red knife would come out, and the blood would stain the living room, and it must be very troublesome to get clean, and my brain was still confused at this time.

Zhou Changshou did not immediately disarm and surrender, but talked to Lao Lazy about the conditions. He said that that thing was his last straw, and he could give it to us, but if we wanted to find a way to send him abroad to avoid the limelight for a few years, except Japan, any country could do it, even India, Iran, Pakistan, and leave some money for his family to live, and so on.

The old lazy didn't want to listen to it, so he interrupted him coldly: "I see that you are really impatient, and you are still bargaining on the neck of the knife holder." ”

Zhou Changshou began to shout again: "You took the things away, in case I fall into the hands of those people again, I will still die." ”

After a stalemate, the old lazy turned his face to look at me, meaning that he wanted me to make an idea.

Although I don't know what Zhou Changshou has in his hands, I know that it is really important to look at him, and I can't bear to let him die, I think about it and say that it is too unrealistic to send him abroad, it takes several days to get fake documents and passports, and it is easy to show traces, we have no reason to take such a big risk for him, so it is better to be realistic, solve the problem with money, pay for delivery, and buy and sell in cash, and then we don't care where he falls in love.

After Zhou Changshou struggled for half a minute, he raised his eyes and asked me how much money I could give.

I sneered and asked him how much he thought his hand was worth.

"At the market price, it's worth three million, but if you give it to the Japanese buyer, they'll ask for five million," he said. ”

As soon as I heard this, I immediately knew in my heart, and I was very excited, goosebumps came out, and two fires flashed in my eyes.

It's a painting.

Xia Dongyi's paintings, authentic!

It turned out that the "thing" that Zhou Changshou and the lazy lazy bargained said was Xia Dongyi's painting, and this product was indeed as those buyers expected, and there were Xia Dongyi's authentic works in private possession.

This is really unexpected for us, and it is reasonable to think about it, Zhou Changshou is a money fan with brains, and he is very able to support the boat, otherwise Xia Dongyi would not have picked him to carry out such a huge plan of his own.

If we get an authentic handiwork, we may be able to find out the hidden secrets from it and decipher Xia Dongyi's purpose, and see what kind of tricks he is playing with such a huge and sophisticated bureau. But if I want to give 3 million yuan to the obscene man in front of me, I can't be willing to think about it. Three million, it's not good to do something, buy a broken painting, you can't eat it, you can't wear it, and it's a weird style that doesn't look good anywhere, and it can't be used as a decoration. So after weighing half a minute, he rolled his eyes and said to give him 200,000, no more, love or not.

Zhou Changshou shouted on the spot: "If you don't bring such a trick, you can give 200,000 for a painting worth at least 3 million, and there is no such bargain method to buy a dress in Longxiang Small Commodity Market, right?" You ......"

The old lazy kicked over and scolded coldly: "You are now asking for money or death, not a matter of bargaining with us, think clearly, if you want money, you still want your life!" ”

The old lazy said, paused, kicked it again, and snorted from his nose: "I'm afraid that you won't spend your life if you take the money!" ”

Zhou Changshou lowered his head with a pale face, and looked like a frosted eggplant. It took a long time to speak, but I still bargained: "I escaped, I don't know when I will be able to come back, there are so many mouths at home to eat, I have to make arrangements." You can do well, for the sake of me telling you everything, give more, anyway, no matter how much you give, I won't take any of it, all for my wife and children. I can find a temple and be a monk for a few years, but I can't starve to death. ”

I just eat soft and not hard, it is easy to be caught by emotional dramas, listening to him say that he is sincere, my heart suddenly softened, and when I was about to say to give him a million, the old lazy man came over and stopped me at a glance, and then drank to Zhou Changshou sharply: "Give you 250,000, and if you ask for an extra dime, you will find death." I don't have the temperament to spend with you, if you don't agree, I have another way to find out the painting, it's nothing more than a matter of spending a little more effort. ”

Zhou Changshou still couldn't accept the price, hanging his head and biting his mouth, with stubbornness on his face.

The old lazy wanted to hold the knife again, I leaned over to stop it, and then squatted in front of Zhou Changshou, and discussed with him in a good voice: "I know that this business is really unkind, what about you, it's too much of a loss, but we are really not people who have spare money to buy that kind of luxury, and we want Xia Dongyi's painting, that is, we want to see what is famous in it, how can someone be willing to spend a lot of money to buy it, can you see it, it's best, you can't see it, whatever, anyway, when we finish reading it, we'll sell the painting for you, No matter how much it sells, it will be given to your family, how you want to distribute it in advance, and then it will all be done according to what you say, we will definitely not be greedy for you. ”

When I say this, I really think this way in my heart, and I plan to let go and sell it after figuring out the situation, and see if I can lure out the buyers behind the scenes. To put it bluntly, I don't lack money, I just don't want to spend too much money to buy Xia Dongyi's broken paintings, as for the money from selling paintings at that time, of course, I won't be ignorant, where I came from and where I will go back, it's normal, don't be greedy for him.

But Zhou Changshou didn't think so, mainly because those of us who talked to him with knives and guns didn't have any confidence at all.

It's a pity that I don't have confidence anymore, and this business has to be done. In the old lazy way, it is a matter of money and life, not a question of more money and less money. When the old lazy finally lost all his patience, stood up and picked up the chair he was sitting on just now and was about to smash it on Zhou Changshou, he shrank into a ball and begged for mercy, and promised to give us things in tears.

Unexpectedly, the "things" he said were actually more abundant than we imagined.

In addition to a private collection of Xia Dongyi's original handwriting, there is also a roll of negatives and a stack of photographs.

Before the whole hype plan began to be implemented, Zhou Changshou carefully took pictures of all 36 paintings handed over to him by Xia Dongyi.

At first, he thought very simply, but he only felt that in the future, if he could really fetch a high price for the painting as Xia Dongyi predicted, he might be able to take advantage of the limelight to publish and sell books or something, and make another vote of money. Little did I know that those photographs would later become the main tool for examining Xia Dongyi's works circulating in the market. Often some unreliable people imitate Xia Dongyi's style to draw some other content and sell it, and the auction house asks him for identification, so he secretly compares those photos to see that everything that does not match the content is fake.

Recently, the Japanese buyer's subordinates brought him to see the painting not only had not seen the content, it was not in the photo, and even the size did not meet Xia Dongyi's standards, but they did not believe that it was genuine, and suspected that it was released after he had hidden it.

That incident made him very bored, so he wanted to ask Xia Dongyi if he painted it after he was released from prison, but he didn't find it, and the community security guard said that he hadn't seen anyone else for several days, and no one knew where he went.

In those days, Zhou Changshou received a call saying that the three residences had been robbed, and he was ambushed when he went home, he immediately felt bad, guessing that Xia Dongyi was likely to be taken away, so it was important to flee for his life, and then he was displaced and depressed to the extreme, and he didn't dare to contact his wife and children when he was sick, so he had to find a distant relative Zhou Hong, who should not have been targeted by those buyers, to take care of him.

He never expected that Zhou Hong would lure us out, which was a completely unexpected disaster for him.

He didn't know what kind of people we were, and at first he tried to trick us by words, but then when he found out that we were very ruthless, he didn't dare to trap us, he wasn't curious, he just wanted to live.
