Chapter 438: Hundreds of Millions of Dollars in Treasures (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Passes)
Night, in the hotel.
Tonight is full of stars, and the dragon-like galaxy stretches across the entire magnificent night sky.
Ji Sheng, who was sitting in front of the computer searching for information, glanced out, and had a premonition that tomorrow would be a good day.
He retracted his gaze to the computer screen and carefully looked at the information about the "Founder's Eye".
It's a pity that the "Eye of the Creator" circulating on the Internet is not much different from what Ji Sheng knows, and the only information he has gained is that after the auction in New York in 1990, the name of the owner of this world-famous black diamond is Peidi. Mesas.
Well, it's certainly not all for nothing.
At least Ji Sheng figured out which auction had auctioned it in 1990, and learned that it had been auctioned more than once, and that it had been auctioned again in 1995.
"In 1990, Sotheby's New York sold for $990,000." Ji Sheng squinted his eyes at the information, "In 1995, it was another Sotheby's auction in New York, but this time the price was raised to $1.5 million. ”
In just four or five years, the price has increased by half a million dollars?
Ji Sheng, who is engaged in the collectibles industry, naturally knows that the average annual price per carat of diamonds has increased by 14 percent since 1960, and according to the statistics of relevant professional departments, the larger the diamond, the greater the increase.
In particular, the rise of high-quality colored diamonds is even more rapid, and it can rise by 200% in ten years.
If this trend is followed, without the historical value of the Creator's Eye, then a black diamond that sold for $1.5 million in 1995 should be worth tens of millions of dollars today.
This is still discussed from the value of the black diamond itself, and if it is calculated from the historical value of the Creator's Eye, it may be even higher.
Of course, it could be lower.
Because this thing is too damning.
Ji Sheng felt that if he took it to auction, there was a chance that it would be seventy or eighty million.
"Value depends on demand." Ji Sheng's eyes flickered, "If that sixty-seven-point five-carat black diamond is put up for auction again, it may be tens of millions of dollars, but if I can put together a set of transactions with Sharma, maybe hundreds of millions of dollars." ”
Yes, tens of millions of dollars were killed by a single person, and it can be inferred from this that all three pieces are all together, and it seems that they are worth about 30 million.
But don't forget, if the three pieces of black Orloff are together, it is the real Eye of the Creator, and the overall value is definitely not comparable to the three pieces combined.
In addition, Ji Sheng saw that Sharma said to himself that "10 billion will not be sold" in order to be able to find one of the fragments, and he has reason to believe that if he can get together three pieces and trade with Sharma, it will be easy to ask for hundreds of millions of dollars.
A single gem is hundreds of millions of dollars!
Converted into more than 700 million soft sister banknotes!
It is comparable to the turnover of an autumn auction held by Xiling Seal Society!
Ji Sheng felt that this deal could be done, once he could really use the Eye of the Creator to get hundreds of millions of dollars from Sharma, then wouldn't all the expenses for coming to the beautiful country to buy planes, villas, and even buy a good pawn shop company be solved?
In the modern world, he does not have the same financial resources as in the 80s, and hundreds of millions of dollars can make his worth soar.
Thinking of this, Ji Shengan couldn't bear his eagerness, quietly left the hotel, and then called a taxi to travel through time and space near his villa.
……
Travel back in time to the 80s.
Ji Sheng casually glanced at the growth of the maximum energy value, the previous maximum energy of the system was five thousand seven hundred and seventy-five points, when he came back, he used a full load of normal crossing, the maximum value increased to seven thousand two hundred and eighteen points, and now he used a full load of normal crossing, and the maximum energy value has come to nine thousand and twenty-two points.
"The maximum value of the system can increase by a quarter every time the normal crossing of full load, and if the normal crossing of full load is carried out again, the maximum energy value of the next time should reach more than 11,200 points."
Ji Sheng can increase his energy value by hundreds of thousands of points every ten minutes in the current space-time, if he doesn't have anything to do to brush his energy a few times a day, won't his maximum energy value reach hundreds of thousands or even millions soon?
Thinking that he had wasted so much energy value before, Ji Sheng felt distressed, it was really a waste, he had to find a safe place to cross normally as soon as possible, well, it was to buy the villa over there in modern society.
Looked at the time.
It was about 12:30 p.m.
Ji Sheng immediately walked into the mansion, and then directly called Tom and Derek and other bodyguards.
"Tom, did you find anything unusual last time you searched this room?" Ji Sheng sat on the sofa and asked.
Tom looked puzzled and said, "Didn't you show you everything you searched?" ”
Derek also wondered: "Except for those monitoring equipment and recording equipment, it seems that nothing else has been found, and don't you give those video and audio recordings to the police station?" ”
Ji Sheng didn't dare to tell everyone about the black diamond, after all, the value of this thing was too high for ordinary people, who knew Derek, Tom or Michael. Will Baker and the other servants secretly take it for themselves when they find out?
"Oh, it's okay, I'll ask."
Ji Sheng didn't say anything more, and then walked around the house alone.
He didn't rest for an entire afternoon and a night, and kept turning inside and out of the house, and as a result, whether he was knocking on the walls or the floor to see if there were any hidden grids, or pretending to have nothing to do, he didn't get anything.
It's weird.
It shouldn't be.
Judging from the timeline of modern society, if the Eye of the Creator is indeed cursed, then there should be at least one fragment in the villa.
But Ji Sheng turned over and found no trace inside or outside the whole house, and he was a little skeptical that this thing was really in the villa.
"If it weren't for my house, Sharma wouldn't be in such a hurry to buy a house in modern society, would he?"
Am I overlooking something?
Ji Sheng felt that there might be some information he had missed, so he decided to go back to modern society and search for relevant information again.
……
Return to the time and space of modern society.
Ji Sheng took a taxi back to the hotel, and then sat in front of the computer in the room and searched for relevant information.
However, there is only so much information about the Creator's Eye, and nothing new has been discovered.
"I can't find a search team in the eighties, can I? If it becomes known to everyone, it will be targeted by the Indian Brahmins, and then this thing will not be able to be used. ”
Ji Sheng felt a little headache.
"Wait!"
"I can't search for more information about the Eye of the Creator, can't I search for a series of information about the murder in this mansion?"
Ji Sheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly re-entered the letters on the computer.
Searching, information jumped out.
"New York's Rich Man Often Flaunts His Wealth, Was Beheaded and Dismembered by a Professional Killer with a Chainsaw in a Mansion."
"A wealthy man in New York was assassinated and died, and the real culprit behind the scenes was actually the youngest son".
"The Chinese boss in New York was tragically shot and killed on the street, and the mastermind behind the scenes was arrested in a mansion of 2.4 million".
Not to mention, there is a lot of news about the murder of a wealthy New Yorker.
Ji Sheng kept scrolling through the news, trying to find relevant information.
one.
Five-of-a-kind.
Thirty articles.
Finally, after reading a lot of homicide news, Ji Sheng found a piece of useful information.
This is a piece of news from one year and a year.
Ji Sheng stared at the news titled "Garage Murder".
The above introduces a homicide case, probably in the early morning of December 01, a rush of alarm calls rang, in which a man shouted in a panic "His wife was hiding in the garage to surprise his birthday, but he was unaware of his unaware driving into the garage and hit him without knowing whether he was alive or dead", and he frantically asked for rescue.
Ji Sheng carefully looked at the pictures of the murder in the news, and found that it was almost exactly the same as his mansion in the eighties, and he didn't care too much about the content of the news, but just glanced at it and probably understood what was going on.
It almost means that after the man called the police, the police rushed over and thought it was an accident, but it soon turned into a "homicide" scene, and the man who called the police was arrested by the police as the first suspect, because the real cause of death of the dead woman was not caused by a car hit, and there were many blunt force wounds on her body, plus after the search, all kinds of evidence proved that the man was lying, and the police were about to prosecute at that time.
But unfortunately, after the famous detective in New York was invited to the murder scene, he made a surprising discovery, that is, the man was not the murderer!
It's a pity that the police didn't believe the words of this Chinese detective, and found new evidence, because six years ago, the man had killed his ex-wife in this villa, and he also said that it was an accident at the time, but the way of death was almost 90% similar to his current wife.
The case was supposed to end here, but after serving five years in prison, new evidence was found that no blood had been found on the man's body or even all the traces.
So far, the man has been released, but the case has become an unsolved case, and no breakthrough has been found so far.
In fact, this news has nothing to do with Ji Sheng here, except that the murder scene in the picture is a bit like his villa.
But the news-related information shows two amazing homicides, one is that the male owner of the house in 1989 who Ji Sheng is familiar with was hit and killed when he went out at night, and the other is that the hostess of a Chinese couple staying in was skinned!
Pictures of the murderers are also prominently listed.
This man's Ji Sheng knows!
That's right, it's Zhu Licheng's uncle!
"! How is he? ”
Ji Sheng's eyes widened.
He suddenly remembered what his father had said to him, that is, when Zhu Licheng had an accident in 92 and fled to the beautiful country, and then returned to China after a year or two.
Ji Sheng also remembered that Zhu Licheng abused his private power as a loan officer.
He probably understood something.
It is very likely that Zhu Licheng's uncle also abused his private rights, and then he was found out about the East Window Incident, and fled to the beautiful country together, and then Zhu Licheng's uncle bought the mansion he lived in, but he didn't know what happened and killed Zhu Licheng's aunt.
Ji Sheng remembers that there has only been one death penalty lawsuit in New York in half a century, in 2004, and it was rejected at that time, which means that Zhu Licheng's uncle should not have been executed at that time, and if this guy was hard enough, he should still be in prison now.
"In other words, as long as you can find Zhu Licheng's uncle to meet, you will have the opportunity to know if the Eye of the Creator is in the villa."
Ji Sheng felt a little embarrassed.
If it was in the eighties, based on his status, he would just call Zhu Licheng and Zhu Licheng's uncle over to ask, but the problem is that he doesn't have such a high status in this time and space, and he doesn't know Zhu Licheng and his uncle, so it seems that it is difficult to have the opportunity to obtain the right to visit the prison.
"It's not like there's no chance."
Ji Sheng's eyes fell to the next room, didn't his father have a good relationship with Qin Xiaohui? At this time and space, Qin Xiaohui is Zhu Licheng's wife, if he asks his father to take him to visit Qin Xiaohui, and then have a relationship with Zhu Licheng, it seems a bit of a possibility.
After all, this is a very important thing related to hundreds of millions of dollars and the maximum amount of energy he brushes, and Ji Sheng really pulled his face to set it closely.
It's just that now it's night, and he's so tired after a busy day that it's impossible to disturb his father's rest, so he lies down in bed and goes to bed early.
……
The next day, early morning came.
While everyone was going to the restaurant for breakfast, Ji Sheng quietly grabbed his father, and the two chatted in the corridor outside the restaurant.
"Dad, do you want to ...... I'll accompany you to meet Qin Xiaohui later? Ji Sheng said with a wink.
Lao Ji didn't even think about refusing, "Don't go, that's so unfair to your mother." ”
Ji Sheng said: "It's been decades since you've been deceased, don't you want to see each other?" ”
"Well, I thought about it, after all, I have never met her through letters, and I want to know what she looks like." Lao Ji sighed, "But I just said, it's not fair to your mother to do this, I have been married to your mother for more than twenty years and almost thirty years, how can I go behind her back to see other women?" ”
Ji Sheng saw that his father's attitude was so resolute, and he knew that it was useless to continue to talk about it in a good voice, so he deliberately framed his father and said, "If you don't go, I'll go by myself." ”
Lao Ji looked at him speechlessly, "What are you going to do?" Do you know anyone? ”
Of course I do!
Not only did I know each other, but Qin Xiaohui was also one of my girlfriends in the eighties!
Well, well, the current plane really doesn't recognize.
Ji Sheng thought about it and continued to frame his father, and said: "Hey, I just want to see what your white moonlight looks like, it can make you miss it for so long, yes, I'll take a picture of you later, if she looks ugly, I guess you can die, don't tell you, I'll go to the address written in your letter to find her." ”
"You stepped on a horse and read my letter!" Lao Ji's eyes widened, and then he grabbed Ji Sheng, hesitated for a long time and said, "Why don't you ...... I'll go along. ”
Ji Sheng teased him: "Don't you want to go?" I feel sorry for my mom. ”
"It's been decades, and I haven't even seen anyone's parents, which is really a pity." Lao Ji sighed again and said: "Besides, she once said that if I have the opportunity to come to the beautiful country, I must go to see her, and I should say goodbye to the past." ”
Ji Sheng was overjoyed, if he didn't have his father to accompany him, it would really be difficult to have a relationship.
The two hurriedly told everyone that they had something to go out for, and then left the team.
Found a pay phone nearby.
Lao Ji dialed the phone number left by Qin Xiaohui according to his memory.
Ji Sheng stood aside and waited nervously, after all, more than 20 years have passed, who knows if this phone can still be dialed.
Luckily, the phone rang and it didn't take long for it to connect.
"Hello, I...... I'm looking for Qin Xiaohui. "Father's tone was a little weak," ...... Yes? It's been more than ten years since she died...... So who are you...... I was her friend Ji Aiguo many years ago...... Worship her...... Well, I'll come over now. ”
What.
Qin Xiaohui in this time and space has been dead for more than ten years?
Ji Sheng listened with mixed feelings, and he couldn't have imagined that Qin Xiaohui, a beautiful girl, would have such a short life.
Lao Ji also looked sad, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Son, come with me, I'm going to worship Qin Xiaohui." ”
"Okay." Ji Sheng agreed.
The two called a taxi, and Ji Sheng asked his father for the address and told the taxi driver.
What left him speechless was that the address his father said turned out to be the apartment building at 740 Park Avenue, which was the luxury apartment he talked about yesterday.
Wipe.
No wonder my father never came to the beautiful country to know about this place.
Ji Sheng finally understood what was going on.
……
Come downstairs to the apartment.
As soon as he got out of the car, Ji Sheng saw a pair of very familiar men standing there waiting, one of them was very similar to Zhu Licheng when he was young, and the other was an elderly version of Zhu Licheng.
My father was still looking around.
Ji Sheng pulled his father over, "Hello, is it Mr. Zhu Licheng?" ”
The older middle-aged man looked at him hesitantly, "You are Mr. Ji Aiguo?" ”
He seems to be a little mentally unright.
The young man hurriedly said, "Dad, how can Mom's friend from decades ago be so young?" This old gentleman may be Mr. Ji Aiguo. ”
Lao Ji took the opportunity to say: "Yes, I am Ji Aiguo, and he is my son Ji Sheng." ”
The older middle-aged man smiled, "I'm sorry Mr. Ji, since my wife died, I haven't been in a good mental state, and I'm really sorry to admit my mistake." ”
As he spoke, he reached out and shook hands with Lao Ji.
Ji Sheng also shook hands with Zhu Licheng's son, and learned that the other party's name was Zhu Siguo, and he didn't know if the name was to commemorate Ji Aiguo or miss his hometown.
"Come up with me." Zhu Licheng babbled and said: "Xiaohui was not in good health after giving birth to a child, and died in the same year as my mother, leaving only me and my son to depend on each other, in fact, I have long heard about Mr. Ji and Xiaohui, she said that she felt sorry for you, but you didn't confess to her at the time, so we were together later......
Although Zhu Licheng's mental state is not very good, he is quite generous.
When an ordinary man hears that his wife was ambiguous when he was young, he is afraid that he will be furious a long time ago, who would be so polite?
Ji Sheng secretly glanced at his father's expression and found that his eyes were wet, I have to say that Bai Yueguang still occupies a very important position in his father's mind.
Open the door and go in.
This is a very luxurious apartment, Ji Sheng glanced at it roughly, it is estimated that there are more than 1,000 square meters, more than a dozen rooms, according to Ji Sheng's understanding of Zhu Licheng and Qin Xiaohui's economic conditions, he should not be able to afford such a good house, but now he lives here, and it is very likely that he has made a windfall.
Could it be that he sold the Eye of the Creator?
Ji Sheng is pondering.
Lao Ji's crying voice suddenly came from the side, "Xiaohui, why are you so short-lived?" Blame me for not coming to see you sooner. ”
As he spoke, Lao Ji cried and rushed to the middle of the living room, where the two statues were placed, and the young one knelt down in front of the spirit card.
Ji Sheng saw clearly, the young one was not Qin Xiaohui at all, but the photo of the thirty or forty-year-old woman could vaguely see that it was Qin Xiaohui.
Sure enough, Zhu Licheng was stunned for a while and said to Lao Ji: "Why are you crying my mother?" ”
Zhu Siguo was also speechless and said: "Mr. Ji, this is my grandmother, and the one next to me is my mother." ”
Lao Ji: "......"
