vs 52 The July Slave Ship
In the morning, Ding Jiaqi and Qu Xiaoqing came to the racecourse.
First of all, there was a deep hug, and Ding Jiaqi apologized again and again, "I'm sorry Brother Zhang, I didn't realize that there was a risk in piling so much silver together." ”
"Not so much, only 9 tons."
"9 tons?"
Ding Jiaqi's expression was stunned, isn't 2+19 21 tons?
"That's right," Zhang Jing said affirmatively, "I'll use the rest." ”
"Anyway, you're fine!" Ding Jiaqi hugged Zhang Jing again.
"I checked on the Internet on the way here, and there are only five police officers in Whitefish Town, including the sheriff and clerk," Qu Xiaoqing reminded with both hands beside him, "Anyway, if you have money, why don't you change to a safe area closer to Seattle to live?" ”
Ding Jiaqi was moved.
Zhang Jing shook his head, he only had one goal now, to make money to upgrade the Mithril Warehouse.
During the chat, Ruth, a veterinarian who was still dressed hotly on a cold day, drove over in a second-hand Chevrolet white two-box car.
She earns credit at school, and only comes to the racecourse on Fridays, Saturdays, and weekends.
"Boss, boss, is anyone hurt?" Ruth asked with concern.
"No," Zhang Jing reminded the veterinarian of the horse farm, "It's cold, wear thicker next time." ”
Ruth subconsciously raised the zipper of her coat.
Ding Jiaqi took Zhang Jing's arm and walked to the inside of the racecourse, chatting as he walked, "Qu Xiaoqing checked the information from the library, the July slave ship was sunk in the Florida Strait by the Navy at that time on June 23, 1855;
The Florida Strait is located between the Florida Peninsula, the island of Cuba and the Bahamas, connecting the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, with a length of 480 kilometers, a width of 80~240 kilometers and a depth of 500~800 meters;
It was proved to be just an ordinary slave ship, with no high-value items on it, no one to look for it, and no one to salvage it. ”
"Sounds a bit of a hassle?"
"Yes, if you want to salvage something, you need to rent a professional salvage boat, with a deep-sea submarine sonar system, a salvage robot, and a professional crew, and the daily rent is 200,000 meters."
Zhang Jing paused in place.
He originally thought that renting a yacht for a few thousand meters a day was already an exaggeration, and even felt that the person who rented the yacht was a fool.
I didn't expect the rent of a professional salvage ship to be as high as 200,000 a day!!
Is it a matter of vision?
Probably yes, in the past, Zhang Jing was even reluctant to live in a hostel that exceeded 50 yuan a day.
"Are there exact coordinates for the shipwreck?"
Zhang Jing's idea is simple, he has coordinates, he rents a boat and drives over directly, salvaged things and leaves.
"No," Ding Jiaqi shook his head and reminded: "For a century, there were many slave ships and sunken ships, and it was most likely difficult to find." ”
The head is big, and there are more difficulties than you think.
"Brother Zhang, what are you looking for?" Ding Jiaqi suggested, "If the value is less than eight million meters, it is not worth it, and there is a high probability that it will lose money." ”
"A statue," Zhang Jing said, "It is said that you can see the body of a girl looming through the light veil, which is very perfect." ”
"Female statues?" Ding Jiaqi stopped and asked thoughtfully: "Does it have wings?" ”
This question made Zhang Jing stunned, why do you have wings? Cupid on the rotten street?
Or is it a pessing boy?
There was no mention of wings in the inclusion prompt, and Zhang Jing shook his head.
Unexpectedly, Ding Jiaqi said, "If that's the case, there is a high probability that it is not worth much, in the middle of the 19th century, there were many European stone statues, which were shipped to Citigroup, which had just been born;
For example, in the 1850s, the famous Italian sculptor Giovanni Strazza used a beautiful veiled statue of Madonna made of marble;
It is white and delicate, not only carving light yarn, but also portraying the gentleness of the wind;
The technology is so good that you can't believe your eyes, but it's not worth eight million meters either. ”
After a pause for a second, Ding Jiaqi said again,
"And Raphael Monti's 1847 marble Sisters of Love," Ding Jiaqi exaggerated:
"Can you imagine, three maidens of the flower season, wearing garlands on their heads, slightly drooping, covered with light veils fluttering in the breeze, they are almost perfect, and they fall in love at a glance."
"Anyway!" Ding Jiaqi concluded, "During that time, carving artists, whether famous or not, liked to carve women in light veils, and there were a large number of similar works. ”
was said by Ding Jiaqi, Zhang Jing became uncertain, after all, it was just a missing treasure hunting clue, and Xu Huang was fascinated by just a glance at that time, and he couldn't look carefully at all.
More likely, it was just a worthless work by some unknown sculptor who sold it to a plantation owner.
This is not valuable, that is not valuable, Zhang Jing was very unconvinced, and asked Ding Jiaqi, "What female statue is valuable?" ”
"Goddess of War," Ding Jiaqi replied affirmatively, "all the style statues I mentioned earlier are imitations of the Goddess of War. ”
Zhang Jing's heart was pounding, "Where is it?" Is it missing? ”
"No, it exists in the Louvre Museum."
Ding Jiaqi's words were like a sharp knife poking into Zhang Jing's heart, wow cool wow cool.
After careful consideration, Zhang Jing decided to give up temporarily, the cost of salvage is too expensive, and the success rate is too low, no matter how you look at it, it is not cost-effective.
....
In the afternoon, the Baiyu Town Police Station held a press conference.
Case 1:
The illegal invasion of private residences, the gangsters have obvious motives, for 21 tons... 9 tons of silver.
The police announced that they would not prosecute regardless of why Zhang Jing was able to predict the ambush and kill the gangsters with what weapon, according to the fortress law, the owner has unlimited self-defense rights against the intruder.
Case 2:
Illegal possession of an automatic rifle is an illegal act, and Zhang Jing will be prosecuted.
The crime of possession of illegal weapons can be big or small, and Zhang Jing and Shen Mingming have already confessed.
The gun was picked up, and he was sincere in admitting his mistake and willing to accept the fine.
If you still have to go to jail like this, then spend a lot of money on bail, anyway, since the founding of the country more than 200 years ago, the probability of the rich going to prison is less than 1 in 1,000 of the poor.
There are fewer death sentences, very few.
It's a plain thing, the law was made by the rich, and many, many laws were made.
There are countless laws, on the surface, each of which seems to be very fair, but in fact, there are other laws that affect it, preconditions and preconditions, and so on, ordinary people can't understand it at all.
Rich people don't understand, but they can pay a good price to help them get away with it.
For example, Zhang Jing is only illegally possessing an automatic rifle, but what about illegally possessing a cannon?
Private individuals can buy guns, provided that they are not too advanced, and the boundaries are a bit blurred.
The distinction is similar to that of ordinary rifles and automatic rifles, the rate of fire and range of castration, and there is a relatively strict registration system.
When the opportunity is right, Zhang Jing decided to buy two squatting antique artillery guns and put them in the winery and the town house in the racecourse, and kill all the ghosts and ghosts.
