Chapter 268: Please Make a Price!
It wasn't until noon, when the sun was high, that the thick fog that had enveloped the whole of London and paralyzed things had lifted.
Without the obstruction of the fog and wind, thunder and fire, the special jǐng of Scotland Yard were finally able to enter the British Museum smoothly and began to work on the maintenance of the site and the investigation and evidence collection. And the Miracle Sent by the Anglican Church is only late at this moment. Because he didn't want to provoke the strong monk who could swallow half of the aura of the British Isles in one go, and he didn't want to be too stiff with the Queen of England and the British zhèngfǔ in this matter, so the Anglican Church had been making excuses to say that it couldn't get close to the British Museum, until it was confirmed that the strong monk had left at this moment, and at the same time he breathed a long sigh of relief, he sent several strangers who were good at tracking traces to assist in the investigation and evidence collection of Scotland Yard.
In addition, reporters from various newspapers also received the news as soon as possible and rushed to Russell Square. However, under the unsympathetic deterrence of the Scotland Yard jǐng cha, these shouted "The right to press and gather." Journalists simply could not cross the jǐng cordon and enter the British Museum to cover the news.
The person responsible for the theft of the British Museum was the "Hounds" in Scotland Yard. Nicknamed the Jǐng director of Alasta, who has solved countless big and important cases. But this outstanding director of jǐng, at this time, his brows are tightly locked, and his face is at a loss.
Because this case is so strange, so far, there are no other clues except for the knowledge that the stolen artifacts are all rì copies.
Alaska couldn't help but look at the Anglican monks in monks' robes on the side. In this situation, he could only hope that these Anglican monks would be able to find some clues. Help them solve the case. As a senior officer of Scotland Yard. He was also one of those who had access to the Anomalous documents, so he knew that these monks had terrifying powers unimaginable to ordinary people.
Alaska turned around and strode up to the monks, trying to squeeze a smile on his face, and asked, "How are you?" Do you have any present?"
"Yes!" the monks replied to Alaska's surprise.
A monk picked up a plastic bag, which contained the remaining scraps of rune paper that Zhang Wenzhong burned after killing Jīng Gwynaville in the painting, and before Alaska could ask, the monk explained: "This is where Jīng Gwynaville was killed in the painting, and we can infer it from the information we have." This rune paper is supposed to be a rune paper used to summon a god. The user, most likely, is the yīn yang master of rì本. ”
Another monk took out a digital tape recorder and said, "We have just restored the scene of the fight, but unfortunately due to energy interference, we were unable to obtain the image pattern, but we have obtained such a recording."
After listening to this recording, Alaska customarily twisted his beard with his right hand and said, "This person speaks English, which is obviously not standard. Hmm" is the same as many rì himself. Could it be that the theft of the British Museum was really done by Rì himself?" After frowning and thinking for a few minutes, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the top person in charge of Scotland Yard.
Three days later, rì Ben Tokyo, Tokyo National Museum.
In the elegantly decorated VIP room, four elderly people in kimonos sat cross-legged with their eyes closed. All of them are the top and most authoritative cultural relics appraisal masters in China, and are known as the four heavenly kings of the cultural relics appraisal industry. At ordinary times, you can invite one of them. It's already a very difficult thing to do, like now, when four people get together. It is really rare, and if it is spread, it will definitely cause a sensation in the cultural relics world.
However, judging from the demeanor of these four people, they should be waiting for someone here, and they have been waiting for a long time. Who the hell is it. Can the four of them be arrogant old fellows waiting here willingly?
A sound of footsteps rang out, from far and near. Breaking the silence in the VIP room
"It's coming. The four of them opened their eyes in unison and looked at the entrance of the VIP room. There was anticipation in his eyes.
The door of the VIP room was pushed open with a squeak, and the first to walk in was the director of the Tokyo National Museum, who stood behind the door, nodded and made an invitation gesture, bowed with a face that could not be concealed, laughed with him, and said in a loud voice: "Please come in, please come in, Mr. James, Ms. Rig, please come in." ”
A golden-eyed, crisp suit foreigner strode into the VIP room. Seeing that he had nothing on his empty hands, the four old men who were well-known in the world of rì cultural relics couldn't help but be stunned until they saw the man following behind this foreign man. When the two-meter-long alloy lockbox that Jin Foreign Woman was carrying in her hand, Fang Cai breathed a sigh of relief, and invariably straightened up, staring at four pairs of eyes
This man and woman are two. The foreigners are Zhang Wenzhong and Su Xiaomei after the disguise, and the purpose of their coming here is to blackmail Rì himself.
After respectfully inviting Zhang Wenzhong and Su Xiaomei into the VIP room, the director of the Tokyo National Museum began to alternate between rì and English. Introduced for both sides: "Watanabe Master, Sasaki Master, Yamanaka Master, and Imasaki" Master. This is Mr. James and his assistant Ms. Rigger, who came all the way from England. Mr. James, Ms. Rigger, these four are some of the best experts in our heritage industry. ”
After some pretended greetings, Watanabe, whose face was full of wrinkles and old age spots, could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, and said in a slightly trembling voice in English with turtle feet: "Mr. James, please take out the cultural relics for us to identify." ”
Zhang Wenzhong smiled sarcastically and said, "You are Master Watanabe? It's really not easy to understand, so let's still speak rì. ”
Watanabe, who has always lived in the sound of compliments. Hearing this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, he originally wanted to be angry on the spot, but just when he was about to be angry, his eyes fell on the two-meter-long alloy lockbox that Su Xiaomei was carrying. In the end, not only did he hold back the anger in his heart, but he also squeezed out a sneer and said, "Mr. James is really joking, let's get down to business." ”
Zhang Wenzhong didn't bother to say more to him, raised his right hand and beckoned, Su Xiaomei immediately put the two-meter-long alloy lockbox she was carrying in front of the four rì cultural relics appraisal masters, and after opening it, she took out a picture scroll about a length of feathers and centimeters, as well as a pair of high-pitched and centimeter-length paintings. The width is about centimeters of wind, and the thickness is in. About centimeters, a screen inlaid with a golden flute came, and then retreated behind Zhang Wenzhong, standing quietly.
As soon as they saw these two things, both the director of the Tokyo National Museum and the four masters of the world of cultural relics who were well-known in the world of rì cultural relics all widened their eyes and held their breath, for fear that if the breath they exhaled was a little heavier, they would hurt these two precious cultural relics, which can be called the treasures of the country.
Compared with their caution, Zhang Wenzhong seemed indifferent, he picked up the scroll casually, tossed it twice in his hand, and said with a smile: "What I brought to you for identification this time is Gu Wenhuang's cloud dragon picture and Lin Pai's flower and bird round screen.
Whether it's true or not, I believe it is only based on one of my mouths. You won't believe it. So you can identify for yourself and see if they're real or fake. ”
Seeing that Zhang Wenzhong actually treated these two cultural relics that could be called national treasures with such a casual attitude, whether it was the director of the Tokyo National Museum or the four well-known appraisal masters in the cultural relics industry, all of them did not dare to be angry or speak, for fear that they would annoy Zhang Wenzhong. It will make these five people sinners of the Yamato nation. After some frightened persuasion, they finally let Zhang Wenzhong put down the cloud dragon picture.
The four Master Appraisers immediately split into two factions. Watanabe and Sasaki began to identify the cloud dragon picture, and Yamanaka Kazujin "began to circle around the round screen of flowers and birds. Compared with Zhang Wenzhong, who was full of confidence, Su Xiaomei, who was standing behind him, was much more nervous, for fear that these four old men who looked extremely obscene would see that these two cultural relics were quality, but she covered them up very well. And the attention of the five rì themselves was on these two relics, so they didn't notice the strange expressions she occasionally revealed.
Four well-known appraisers in the world of rì cultural relics tossed around these two cultural relics for more than two hours, and then they got together and whispered, and finally Sasaki came forward and asked cautiously: "I don't know, how much does Mr. James want to transfer these two cultural relics to us?"
Su Xiaomei secretly exclaimed in surprise: "They really take these two products seriously?!"
Zhang Wenzhong said: "Are you sure that these two cultural relics are genuine? Do you want to find a few more people to identify them? What if they are fake?"
Imagawa laughed and said, "Mr. James is really joking, although the four of us don't have much ability, we still have a little eyesight. These two pieces are the authentic Gu Wenyan's cloud dragon picture and the Lin School's flower and bird round screen, both of which have historical value and artistic value. They can all be called the treasures of our Yamato nation and the national treasures of our country! Mr. James, we don't care where you got these two cultural relics, please be sure to transfer these two cultural relics to us, and you will get the precious friendship of our Yamato nation!
The five rì themselves in the VIP room knelt in front of Zhang Wenzhong in unison, and their heads slammed on the floor.
Su Xiaomei, who was standing behind Zhang Wenzhong, was really dumbfounded at this moment. What kind of world is this? There are still people who kowtow and beg to buy a quality that can only be stored for 49 days?!
