When Wallace heard Chu Xiangqian say that he had offended someone, he couldn't help but be silent.

Even if he agrees with what Chu Xiangqian said, there are some things that it is impossible to say to Chu Xiangqian.

But Chu Xiangqian cursed a few words in his heart, secretly saying that Wallace's luck was really good.

The front of the car was smashed, but it was only injured.

As for whether this matter will be suspected on his head, Chu Xiangqian is not worried at all.

Although Wallace just said that after the physical evidence department examined it, it was determined that someone had tampered with the brake line.

But unless this is seen, who will suspect a bird?

Not to mention that Wallace has been in the police station for so many years, and if you really want to suspect anyone, there are too many people who can be suspected.

The devil knows who sneaked into the police station that night and did it.

Maybe maybe someone in the police station took the other party's money and did it.

Wallace didn't suspect Chu Xiangqian, after all, he just entered the police station last night, and he had an accident the next day.

But after carefully questioning the police officers on duty last night, at least five people said that Chu Xiangqian had never been out of the police station except for going to the bathroom.

I haven't even gone downstairs.

His suspicion was ruled out at once.

And Wallace thought for hours, there must be a motive for this killing.

There is no conflict of interest between himself and Chu Xiangqian, and they haven't known each other before, so there is no possibility of making a feud.

Chu Xiangqian had no reason to want his own life.

Thinking about it carefully, Wallace gritted his teeth and simply went back to London in the near future, accompanied by his fiancée's family, to talk to the people in London.

At the very least, it is necessary to determine who is the enemy and who is the friend.

"Chu, I'm going back to London, can you come with me?"

Where is Chu Xiangqian willing to go, and even thinks that this ghost guy will run away now, so how can he trouble him?

How did you push him to a dead end little by little, and completely take refuge in his own side?

Even if he won't take refuge, he will have to be used for himself.

Then his heart moved, "I follow you, at most I can only protect no one and can hurt you closely." But if the other party does tricks on the plane, or snipes at you from a distance, even ten of me are useless by your side. ”

Wallace's face sank, unsure whether the other party would be so rampant, but he didn't dare to gamble with his own life.

At the same time, he also understood in his heart that Chu Xiangqian was unwilling to take risks to follow him.

Chu Xiangqian continued, "I have business dealings with Norton of the Mountbatten family, and there is a plane flying from Hampton to Hong Kong Island tonight or tomorrow morning.

If you want to go back to London to solve your problems, the best thing to do is to get on that plane. ”

Wallace's eyes lit up, no one would have time to do anything with this plane, and it was impossible to even know that he would be on that plane.

Besides, the influence of the Mountbatten family is much stronger than that of his fiancée's family.

"When will it land?"

Chu Xiangqian shook his head, "I also know about this from Chief Superintendent Charles, and it's better for you."

We just had to wait for Charles to call me and say the plane had landed.

Drive to the airport immediately, get on the plane and go. ”

Wallace nodded hurriedly, and even stood up and walked around excitedly.

Chu Xiangqian didn't have the time to stay up late with him, so he simply lay on the sofa and slept with his eyes closed.

Seeing this, Wallace couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, but he was still grateful to Chu Qianqian in his heart.

As for how long this gratitude lasts, only God knows.

At 7 o'clock the next day, Wallace woke up Chu Xiangqian, "Chu, there is still half an hour, Chief Superintendent Charles will come to work, let's go to breakfast, and then go to his side and wait?" ”

Chu Xiangqian nodded indifferently.

At half past eight in the morning, Charles's ghost finally appeared outside his office.

As soon as he saw Chu Xiangqian, he immediately said, "Chu, I asked people to look for you in the morning, but I didn't expect you to be on my side." ”

Chu Xiangqian and Wallace immediately knew that the plane had arrived on Hong Kong Island.

"Let's go, take your car to the airport."

Wallace's eyes lit up, Charles had just arrived at the police station in a car, which meant that his car was definitely safe.

After waiting for the car, Chu Xiangqian sat directly in the passenger seat.

He turned around and said to Wallace, "It's up to you to explain it to Charles." ”

Wallace nodded gratefully, and the two of them got close together and muttered quietly for a while, and a deal was quickly struck.

When I arrived at the airport, the car drove directly into a hangar, and I saw a twin-propeller medium-sized plane parked outside the hangar.

Then Norton's bodyguard stepped down from the plane, beckoned to Chu Qianqian, and when he got closer, he wanted to hug him.

was directly blocked by Chu Xiangqian, and could only shake hands and say hello.

The two got on the plane, and Chu Xiangqian saw two boxes at a glance.

Holding back his excitement, he first said something about Wallace selectively, and the bodyguard frowned before nodding and said, "No problem, anyway, after the things are delivered to you, I will also go back to the Hamptons."

Also, the old sir already knew about the white tiger, and agreed to the price of 300,000 pounds.

Moreover, more antiques of the Celestial Empire and Picasso's oil paintings are already in preparation, and if they are fast, they may be shipped in half a month. ”

Chu Xiangqian was a little embarrassed, he could earn 300,000 pounds by selling a white tiger, so naturally there was no problem.

But he hasn't decided whether to go to the mainland or Southeast Asia to cover up the origin of the white tiger.

After thinking about it, I finally decided to go back to the mainland first.

"How much is the last batch of antiques and paintings worth?"

"I'm sorry, it should only be 120,000 pounds", the bodyguard finished speaking, worried that Chu Xiangqian would think too much, and continued to explain, "There are indeed a lot of antiques in Europe and the United States.

But Sir Elder's family didn't collect much back then, and they didn't even come to East Asia. And although the value of Picasso's oil paintings is not high, there are many collectors.

If it weren't for luck, a couple spent $256,000 to acquire a set of 15 oil paintings the year before last, and there was a problem with funds.

We couldn't raise 10 paintings worth $160,000, or £40,000, in a short period of time. ”

Chu Xiangqian's heart moved, and his heart beat rapidly when he suddenly thought of something.

If you guessed correctly, there will be an oil painting of Picasso in the future, which will fetch a record price of 179 million, which is one of a set of 15 paintings.

If you keep those ten oil paintings as you guessed, you will be able to gather the wool of Europeans and Americans in the future.

Even take out one, and you can casually exchange it for many fine antiques of the Celestial Empire.

Just bringing back the antiques is enough to get the affirmation of the superiors and the favor of the people.

And £180,000 equals HK$2.88 million.

This money is actually enough to build a movie theater for itself.

The Fu family originally planned to wait and see first, and then decided to open a cinema in Nanyang in partnership.

Whether it is buying land or buying ready-made floors to build a cinema on Hong Kong Island, it is not something that can be done in a month or two.

Invest one or two million in the early stage, and have enough time to raise the rest.

Looking at the bodyguard nodded, "Okay, but I hope that next time we cooperate, antiques and oil paintings will occupy the majority." ”

"No problem, with this cooperation, we will carefully inquire and collect some Celestial Dynasty antiques and oil paintings you like in the future."

Chu Xiangqian smiled at this time, stretched out and shook the other party, "Happy cooperation." ”

The bodyguard hurriedly stretched out his hand, "Happy cooperation, SIR." ”

Chu Xiangqian thought that the antiques that were airlifted this time were only worth 20,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Unexpectedly, when Norton's bodyguard opened the two boxes, one box was indeed full of porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, and gold and silver utensils.

There are even two katanas.

Chu looked forward at the bodyguard Ward.

Ward shrugged, "Old Sir thinks you'll like these two weapons, I heard that Old Sir took them from two general-level commanders when he accepted the surrender of the island army. ”

Chu Xiangqian was overjoyed, reached out and took a katana, and suddenly remembered the sound of +11 gold coupons in his mind.

After making sure that the knife was the real thing, he held the handle of the knife with his backhand and slowly pulled it out.

Suddenly I felt the cold light flashing, and I knew that the maintenance was very good at a glance.

What surprised Chu Xiangqian the most was that there was a chrysanthemum pattern on the body of the knife, that is, this knife was most likely given by the king of the Japanese slaves.

It's just that the second knife is not engraved with a chrysanthemum pattern.

And the gold coupon actually increased by 32 points, which means that this knife must be hundreds of years old.

WARD POINTED TO THE SECOND KNIFE AND SAID, "SIR, OLD SIR, I ASKED SOMEONE, THIS IS THE DIAMOND-PATTERNED FAMILY CREST OF THE TAKEDA FAMILY. It should have been the general who surrendered, taken from someone else. ”

Chu Qianqian nodded, the surname Takeda has declined in the island country, but it is impossible to become a general.

In this way, the value of this knife in the future may be surprisingly high.

And the more expensive it is, the more people on the island will want to buy it back.

When the time comes, I will display this knife myself, and it will be uncomfortable for the people of the island to look at it.

Putting away the knife, Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "Thank you for me, old sir, if you have the opportunity, I will give you a suitable gift in return." ”

Ward smiled and nodded, although he wasn't sure if Chu Xiangqian could really get a gift that Mountbatten would like, but he was looking forward to it in his heart.

After saying thank you, Norton took the initiative to open the second case.

Seeing that there were actually 10 tightly packaged picture frames inside, Chu Xiangqian knew that it must be oil paintings.

Holding back his excitement, he listened to Ward's words, "The old sir has heard about the white tiger skin, and I hope to exchange these 10 oil paintings for the white tiger skin in your hand." ”

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help frowning, he just ignored the total value of his deal with Norton, not 300,000 pounds, but 340,000 pounds.

In other words, minus 120,000 pounds of Celestial Empire antiques and oil paintings, you can get 220,000 in cash.

Ward frowned forward, guessing that he had come back to his senses.

I can only explain apologetically, "SIR, JUST LIKE I JUST SAID, THE TIME IS TOO TIGHT, AND IT IS DIFFICULT FOR US TO RAISE 340,000 POUNDS OF CELESTIAL ANTIQUES AND OIL PAINTINGS IN SUCH A SHORT TIME. ”

Chu Xiangqian doesn't believe this nonsense at all now, and there is a high probability that Mountbatten himself is unwilling to come up with fine products and treasures.

Or find someone else to buy it, and let people know about the antique exchange for white tiger skins and white tigers.

As for oil paintings, just as Chu Xiangqian would not trade antiques from the Celestial Empire with foreigners, the English did not want the good things of Europe to flow to other countries.

Moreover, in the eyes of Europeans and Americans, oil paintings are collectibles with great potential for appreciation.

Only what they don't value now, will be taken out and traded.

Although Picasso is famous now, he is not English, and secondly, there are not many people who can accept his style this year.

What's more, he is still alive, and the number of oil paintings is huge, and the number of prints has reached 20,000, and it is unknown how many more works he will create in the future.

Chu Xiangqian thought about it, no longer dwelled on this matter, and said to Ward, "Give me the car, and I'll go back and get the white tiger skin." ”

Ward nodded hurriedly, got off the plane and said hello a few times, and soon a pickup truck appeared in front of Chu Xiangqian.

Moreover, the two wooden boxes were also carried off the plane, placed in a leather body stacked with many straw mats, and then carefully secured with ropes.

Chu Xiangqian was quite satisfied with Ward's attitude, "Let's go, go back with me, and check the white tiger skin in person." ”

Ward hurriedly took the initiative to sit in the driver's seat of the pickup truck, and Chu Xiangqian said hello to Charles and Wallace, got in the car and left.

When he arrived at the dry goods store, Chu Qianqian got into the car and tried the weight of the wooden box casually, then jumped out of the car, pulled the wooden box over, carried it on his shoulder and walked inside.

Ward's pupils retracted a few times.

The heaviest of the two boxes was the oil painting box, which weighed at least seventy or eighty kilograms, but in front of Chu Xiangqian, it was as easy as a dozen catties.

It seems that this Master Chu's strength is very great.

The two boxes were all carried into the living room on the second floor, and Chu Xiangqian pretended to go to get the white tiger skin, went up to the third floor, and took out the white tiger skin from the warehouse in the novice village.

Wharton was overjoyed, and carefully checked it to make sure that it was the one he saw last time, so he was relieved.

PACKING IT UP, WHARTON SMILED AND SAID, "NO PROBLEM, SIR." ”

Chu nodded forward, how could he have the kung fu to say to Ward, after sending him away.

Hurriedly ran up to the second floor and began to inspect the antiques and oil paintings in the two boxes one after another.

I kept thinking of the sound of the increase in the gold coupon.

Chu Xiangqian couldn't understand the 10 oil paintings, but the addition of 900 gold coupons before and after made him understand that the increase in gold coupons was not only related to dynasties and eras.

The main thing should be to look at the future value, that is, how much it is worth.

And it seems that not all of these ten oil paintings are worth one or two hundred million dollars.

But it's right to think about it, the oil painting that sold for $179 million at auction in the future is said to be the most complete of these 15 oil paintings.

Otherwise, the husband and wife who bought these 15 oil paintings a few years ago would not have sold these 10 oil paintings now.

And keep the other 5.

Since you want to return the funds, of course, you should sell the lowest value and keep the best for yourself.

As for the antiques of the Celestial Empire, there are 21 pieces of porcelain, all of which are from the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

Among them, 5 pieces are blue and white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty, and the gold coupon has increased by 640 points.

Chu Xiangqian secretly said that this can be regarded as a leak, and it is a big leak.

Looking at the porcelain one by one, the more I looked at it, the more I couldn't bear the excitement in my heart.

Don't look at these porcelains are not worth much now, but in the future, they will be tens of millions, or even more than 100 million.

Even if it is placed in the capital commission store at this time, it is still two or three hundred.

The rest is 20 calligraphy and paintings, Chu Xiangqian didn't look carefully, he stroked them one by one, and kept thinking about the prompt sound of the golden coupon in his mind.

590 points were added before and after, 640 points for porcelain, 900 points for oil painting, and 43 points for saber.

This is equivalent to a one-time increase of 2173 points.

After putting all the antiques and oil paintings in the warehouse of the novice village.

The aperture outside the village suddenly expanded by 21.73 meters.

I saw that to the west and north of the village, there was a rumbling rise of several hills of 2 or 30 meters high.

It's a pity that after the aperture expanded seven or eight meters on the mountain, it stopped.

Chu ran forward and went around in a circle, and on the hills of the West Gate, he faintly heard the roar of a bear.

Looking at this, it won't be long before you can hunt bears.

After thinking about it, he took out two pheasants and two big fish from the warehouse and still on the hills.

The smell of blood really attracted the roaring bear.

Chu Qianqian, who was hiding twenty meters away, picked up the M1 Garand rifle and shot it at the blind bear who had already found himself.

In an instant, a cloud of blood burst out on the black bear's head, and a prompt of experience +300 sounded in his head.

Chu Xiangqian was overjoyed, and the experience he could now brush in a day had also increased from 1350 to 1650.

Collect the carcass of the black bear and walk down the hill to the north of the village.

The woods over there look a bit like woods at this time.

After a careful search, I found a peach tree and a cherry tree again.

After a collection technique, he carried 10 catties of peaches and 10 catties of cherries in the storage compartment.
