Ninety-Eight Martin's Past
Han Daring said:
"I've visited Xinghe Trading's registered address a few times, an office in the Xiannong Building! Although nothing came of it in the end, he met a few people who had seen Heji in the building! This Heji always comes to the company at night, and he is accompanied by a foreigner! The strangest thing is that the people who have seen Heji, because the light is too dim, I can't see his appearance clearly, but the Heji I have seen several times, although the basic appearance is very similar, but there are always some obvious differences, at that time I was thinking, the same person has different characteristics and the same clothes, then there is only one possibility, that is, Heji is not a person! ”
"Combined with the fictional George Brown, I get it! George Brown, the Chinese servant pretending to be a rich man, is not willing to give up the fictional identity of George Brown and turn back into a servant because he is used to living a rich life. In order to prevent this from happening, Martin will change someone to play Hedge every time he meets for work! That person only needs to do things according to the instructions of the Yang Rao around him! It is very likely that they were all killed afterwards. ”
"When the shareholders of Xinghe Trade are all dead and only Heji is left, as long as a Chinese falsifies a British Concession household registration as Heji, this is not a problem for Officer Martin, who works in the Ministry of Industry Bureau. After taking over the entire company, and then getting rid of this fake Heji afterwards, there will be no more trouble! At that time, the goods stored in the warehouse of the Xinghe Trading Company will all be in the hands of Officer Martin! That's the last batch of Tanglin national treasures that failed to make a move! ”
Han Daring said to Martin:
"The foreigner who appeared with Heji should be Officer Lenny who was killed! The two witnesses in the Xiannong Company building who had seen Heji and Yangrao could ask them to confirm Lenny's body at any time as proof! ”
Han Daring took a few steps and said to Martin:
"I wonder if Officer Martin has anything else to ask for?"
At this point, Martin suddenly smiled with relief. I felt his frowning brow gradually relax.
He lit a cigarette, sat down in a soft sofa chair, picked up a bottle of foreign wine, put it on the tea table, poured a glass of wine, drank it all, and then smoked silently. There was silence in the room, except for the sound of him picking up his glass and drinking, except for the light of cigarettes and the soft sound of puffing up smoke.
After a long time, Martin suddenly stretched out his hand, turned over his palm and showed Han Da'er, the faint blue in his palm, and then said in a very standard Chinese dialect:
"I didn't think much more, everything was as you expected! You even expected the blue spots with Greek fire! Looks like I shouldn't have chosen you to be an eyewitness in the first place! ”
Bai Chongwei asked:
"You deliberately chose us to be witnesses?"
Martin nodded:
Han Daring replied:
"Of course, I chose to talk on purpose, but at that time he didn't know my identity, he just thought I was interested in George Brown and Xinghe Trade!"
Martin smiled slightly:
"You seem to have become my confidant, as if you know me better than I do! In the past, I only had a passion and love for antiquities, but I didn't expect that George Brown's reputation and later police experience would change me! ”
Han Daring said:
"I think the trigger for all this change is the smuggling case that you tracked down in London ten years ago, and it ended up being solved! According to the information collected by Mr. Zhao, you caught the real murderer at that time, but because the case involved a high-ranking official, you had to stop it in the end! I'm sure you must have been furious! ”
Martin said silently:
"Originally, it was just a simple smuggling case, but because the mastermind wanted to escape responsibility, in order to kill the mouth, nine lives were implicated, including two children! But in the end, because of the identity of the mastermind and the face of the government, the case was closed! ”
Although Han Daring investigated the smuggling case, he did not expect that so many lives were involved, and it seems that the authorities revised the case file to cover up the truth of the incident.
Martin was silent at first, just kept smoking. Mills and Jay coughed a few cops who saw that their boss was now the culprit, and they didn't know what to do for a while. It was Zhao Jingsheng who reminded them that they should notify the Ministry of Industry.
When Mills heard this, he hurriedly went to the Ministry of Industry Bureau to call the Antelope and explain what had happened. Someone from the Ministry of Industry will arrive later. Before coming, let Mills and the others take care of Martin, and don't let him slip away! Wait for Superintendent Henry of the Ministry of Industry Bureau to understand the specific situation before making a decision.
At this time, although everyone present almost figured out the truth of the Red Fort case, some people still felt a little confused, so they asked Han Da'er about some causes and effects of the incident. Han Dada'er can only sort out the reasoning based on clues and information, and then tell everyone completely.
Martin just sat on the couch, surrounded by a few cops waiting around Mills. Martin understood that it was the Ministry of Industry that told them to take care of themselves. Although he was armed with a gun, he did not resist, but just smoked non-stop!
In the dawn of dawn, Han Daring gave everyone present and told the cause and effect of the incident!
Martin's father, Wilson George, was obsessed with Chinese culture and longed for the ancient country of the East at sunrise for a long time. When Martin was twelve years old, his father took him to China by boat. Martin has a high aptitude for Chinese, and in less than a year, he can communicate fluently in Chinese.
After coming to Tianjin, his father took Martin to travel around, and once in Guodian Street, in an antique shop, Martin unexpectedly met the curtain's antique restoration master "Wen Yanru". Wen Yanru was originally from a family of tomb robbers, so there was never any difference between families and families in his heart, let alone any Chinese race.
Wen Yanru and this foreign child who can speak Chinese hit it off at first sight. Seeing that the child was clever and dexterous, he taught him some tricks to identify antiquities, but who knew that this child was very qualified in this area, and he was able to distinguish the authenticity of antiquities in a gentle and instructive way.
This made Wen Zhiru ecstatic, because his first apprentice Yan Zhiyi, although he was smart and studious, but due to limited resources, he couldn't learn all of Wen Yanru's skills. Wen Yanru made a bold decision at the time. He was determined to take this foreign child as an apprentice and teach himself the art of antiquities identification and restoration.
Martin's original name was Martin George, and at that time he and Wen Yanru only had their last name "George", but Wen Yanru thought it was Martin's name.
A few years later, Martin learned most of his master's skills, but at this time, his father was seriously ill and had to return to China early. At this time, Martin had not fully learned all the skills in the "Thirteen Chapters of Supplements", so he secretly took away the handscroll of his master's "Thirteen Chapters of Supplements" before leaving. In fact, the master also taught him and asked him to pass on this skill in the future, so Martin thought that he was absolutely qualified to take this handscroll with him.
On the way back to China, Martin's father Wilson rescued a Chinese worker who was sold to Jinshan in Nanyang, the Chinese worker had a number on his arm, and when he took a boat to the United States, he fell ill on the ship, and no one treated him, so he was thrown directly into the sea, but fortunately he was rescued by Wilson, and he got a life. After that, the Chinese laborer followed Wilson as a servant.
Wilson contracted malaria while the ship was stopped in Nanyang and died shortly after returning to London. After the death of their father, Martin and his mother's lives plummeted. Because his mother was Italian, his father Wilson's family had always opposed the marriage, so after his father's death, Martin and his mother also lost their supporters.
Martin was only 16 years old at the time, and in order to support the family, he used his mother's surname, called himself Martin G Fox, and then falsely declared his age to apply for the police officer, and then successfully joined the police force. After his life stabilized a little, he began to think about the restoration of antiquities that he loved. He has been in and out of several auctions and underground antiques markets, but because he is too young, he has always been despised and distrusted.
On a whim, he formed the name "George Brown" with his father's and mother's surnames. And let the Chinese servant who has been following him make up this George Brown. He hides behind his back, appraisals antiques, and helps wealthy merchants repair damaged antiquities.
In this way, this fictional George Brown gradually became famous, and in this fictional character's influence and Martin's eye for antiquities, they also collected many priceless antiques, and their lives were greatly improved and improved
Martin then paid George Brown to compile a lot of background and past experiences, but rarely allowed Chinese servants to appear, which only added to the mystery of George Brown's fictional character.
Ten years ago, Martin was in his thirties, and although he was a police officer in white, he was George Brown, an antiquities restoration expert at night, but this life allowed him to live a fulfilling life.
But a smuggling case in London changed Martin's life completely. The case involved a batch of gold and silver utensils and famous paintings, but the culprit behind it was a high-ranking government official. Martin insisted on continuing the investigation despite the objections of his superiors, which angered the high-ranking official. Directly canceled Martin's promotion opportunity and sent him to India.
Martin's mother also died of illness in this accident. After that, Martin's personality suddenly changed, and he saw through the so-called laws of the British Empire, which were nothing more than an umbrella for the rich and powerful. He couldn't change the status quo, so he turned to the status quo.
He himself relied on the antique circle accumulated by George Brown, and began to secretly engage in smuggling transactions and black market sales. Later, he found that the handscroll of "Supplement to the Thirteen Chapters" contained information on the location of many ancient Chinese tombs, and for the sake of countless antiquities and treasures, Martin automatically asked for a transfer and came to the British Concession in Tianjin, China, to work as an inspector in the Ministry of Industry Bureau.
In fact, the reason why he did not resign and retained his position as a police officer was to facilitate his underground business, and it would be easier to get out of danger with the protection of the identity of the British police.
Before he came to China, he announced that George Brown would also move to the Jinying Concession in China. Later, he secretly arranged people to find a suitable place to buy land and build the Red Fort.
Martin continued to live a dual life in the Red Fort and the Ministry of Industry, while the Chinese servants occasionally disguised themselves as George Brown. And he used the opportunity of repairing antiquities to get some news of antiquities, and by the way, according to the records of the "Thirteen Chapters of Supplements", he searched for several large tombs around Jinwei.
Two years later, when he was on a mission, he had an accident and injured his right hand, so he could not repair the antiquities after that. He could only make up the news that George Brown had been burned, and he would never help anyone restore antiquities in the future, but he was still secretly engaged in the black market antique trade and smuggling business. Every time his partner saw him, he was a Chinese servant wearing makeup, and no one knew Martin's true identity.
Just a few years ago, Martin met a person under the introduction of several partners, and this person was the Netherworld Messenger of the Three Yang Sect - Yin Xiao!
