Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

"Uh, besides the gold mask, you probably have other treasures in your hands, right? Don't worry, I really want to buy it, and the price is negotiable."

Yang Haoxuan tentatively said.

Hamed waved his hand impatiently: "Boss Yang, to tell you the truth, the pharaoh's tomb was discovered in March last year, most of the cultural relics were sold, and now only this mummy remains."

"Hey, isn't the mummy easy to shoot?"

Yang Haoxuan was puzzled.

Hamed nodded without hiding anything: "You Orientals are very unimpressed with mummies. If you can't sell them, we can only go to the Europas."

"I'm a little curious. There are many rich people in Europa. Why didn't you go to the Europa people from the beginning?"

"The reason is simple. The Europas indirectly killed countless of our compatriots. In the entire African continent, no one does not hate them. Unless it is absolutely necessary, we don't want to deal with them at all."

Hamed was angry.

Yang Haoxuan nodded quickly, expressing his understanding.

But in my heart, I felt that the scene in front of me was a little too ridiculous. A tomb robber would actually have trouble with money, and his mouth full of national righteousness was simply unimaginable.

Maybe because he wanted to get rid of the mummy earlier, Hamed quoted a preferential price on the spot:
"Sixty-five million, this is our reserve price."

"Can it be cheaper?"

Yang Haoxuan pretended to be bargaining.

"NO, it's really impossible, we can only sell it to the Europa people, maybe we can sell it for [-] million."

Hamed shook his head.

"How about 6000 million?"

Yang Haoxuan casually returned the price.

Hamed shook his head again, but did not speak.

Yang Haoxuan pretended to sigh: "Okay, 500 million, I can accept it."

"Boss Yang, happy cooperation!"

Hamed smiled and held out his right hand.

Yang Haoxuan stretched out his hand to hold the other party: "I can pay you a deposit of 10 yuan first, and then pay an advance payment of 1000 million yuan after the identification is correct, how about it?"

"no problem."

"You won't run away as soon as you get the deposit, will you?"

Yang Haoxuan was a little worried.

"Boss Yang, you can go around and ask around. We are regular customers here for more than ten years, and we have never broken our promise."

Hamed said confidently.

"Really? Then I will trust you once."

After Yang Haoxuan finished speaking, he immediately completed the transfer through the mobile phone. Only after paying the money can the other party be stabilized.

Seeing the receipt notice, Hamed nodded with satisfaction: "Boss Yang, the money has been received. We will keep this mummy for you for half a month. If it is finally determined to be fake, we will refund all the deposit."

The other party has an oriental face, and they don't want to make extra troubles because of the deposit.

"Okay, I will bring someone over for identification as soon as possible."

Yang Haoxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

At the time of parting, in order to express his sincerity, Hamed suddenly took out a clay pot with a dog’s head lid from the coffin: “Boss Yang, this is the Kanob altar, also called the burial altar, which was unearthed together with the mummy. It contains the pharaoh's own stomach, you can bring it back and have someone identify it first."

Yang Haoxuan took the clay pot bravely, and said "thank you", this thing is too unlucky.

Coming out of the store, Yang Haoxuan did not leave the black market immediately, but asked someone nearby to inquire about Hamed's store in order to collect more information.

"Hamed? Is it Hamed who sells antiques?"

Yang Haoxuan nodded: "That's right, it's him."

"Hamed is an old man here. He has opened a store here since the first day the market opened, and everyone is familiar with him."

"What about his reputation? Is it reliable to do business with him?" Yang Haoxuan asked in a low voice.

"..."

The stall owner kept silent.

Seeing this, Yang Haoxuan immediately handed over two hundred-yuan bills: "It's my first time to do business in Cairo, and I don't know much about your side, so please do me a favor."

The stall owner quickly put away the banknotes and said with a smile on his face: "You are asking the right person. I tell you that Hamed likes to bully the locals, but for a big boss like you, the most he can do is cheat a little money. Absolutely." Don't dare to mess around, you can rest assured to do business with him."

"Really? Where did he get those antiques? Do you know?" Yang Haoxuan followed up and asked.

"I heard people say that Hamed has a good relationship with Minister El Gabri of the Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Relics, but I don't know anything else." The stall owner didn't dare to speak indiscriminately.

"Is the thing in his hand authentic?"

Yang Haoxuan gave the other party another 200 yuan.

The stall owner nodded again and again: "Most of them are real. Now there are a lot of cultural relics on the market, and the price is not expensive, so there is no need to fake it."

"Hamed's background, do you know?"

"Not sure, Hamed likes to be alone, unlike us people who often sit together to exchange business, but he is not easy to mess with, he is very familiar with the police station, so try not to mess with him if you have nothing to do."

There was a trace of fear on the stall owner's face.

"Thank you for the reminder." Yang Haoxuan didn't continue to ask, but changed the subject and asked the last question: "Is Hamed a member of a gang? Or does he have a gang background?"

The stall owner didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly, keeping everything in silence.

Yang Haoxuan showed an unexpected expression. In a port city like Cairo, where people come and go, the most indispensable thing is all kinds of gangs.

……

At 08:30 in the evening, as soon as Zhang Hao returned to the hotel, he was blocked by his brother-in-law at the gate.

"Brother-in-law, you are finally back."

"What happened? In such a hurry?"

Zhang Hao frowned.

He doesn't really want to talk to his brother-in-law now, he just wants to live a two-person world with his wife quickly.

"Brother-in-law, come with me, and I will show you a big treasure."

After Yang Haoxuan finished speaking, he took the other party's arm and entered his room. As for his wife and daughter, they were chatting with his sister right now.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Hao asked impatiently.

Yang Haoxuan pointed to the clay pot on the table: "Brother-in-law, look quickly, what is this?"

"This is……"

Zhang Hao had seen this thing in a museum before, but he couldn't remember its name for a while.

"This is called the funeral man, and it contains the stomach of an Egyptian pharaoh." Yang Haoxuan hurriedly introduced.

"Where did you get it? Too bad luck."

Zhang Hao said with disgust on his face.

Yang Haoxuan immediately took out his mobile phone: "Brother-in-law, take a look at these photos again."

Zhang Hao took the phone, flipped through a few photos casually, and immediately paid attention to it:

"What's going on? Tell me about it."

Yang Haoxuan didn't show off, and told the story of the mummy in detail.

"Are you sure? The mummy, including this golden mask, are real?"

"Ninety-nine are not far from ten." Yang Haoxuan nodded, and then explained: "I sent these photos to Guoji, and asked him to find experts and professors in their school's history and archeology. They all agreed that it must be the Valley of the Kings. A new pharaoh's tomb has been discovered."

"How is it possible? Hasn't the Valley of the Kings been searched long ago, how could there be omissions?"

Zhang Hao expressed doubts.

As we all know, long before the establishment of the Federation, there was a consensus in the archaeological community at that time that all the tombs in the Valley of the Kings had been discovered, and there would be no new discoveries.

The following century has proved this conclusion.

Yang Haoxuan quickly reminded: "Brother-in-law, don't forget that the Valley of the Kings is currently undergoing relocation, maybe it was discovered during the relocation process."

The cultural relics relocation plan has been going on for several years, and Egypt is a key area for relocating cultural relics. Apart from the pyramids and the Sphinx, many cultural relics are included in the relocation. The task is heavy and the time is tight.

"If you say that, it's not impossible, but the Egyptians shouldn't be so courageous, right? They dare to lie and sell cultural relics privately?"

Zhang Hao felt that the possibility was unlikely.

After all, there are so many staff members at the relocation site, it's not easy to hide it if you want to.

Yang Haoxuan sighed and said, "Brother-in-law, it's not like you don't know that in a place like Egypt, black and white are colluding, and it's a mess. It's not surprising that anything happens."

"I know it in my heart. In the next few days, you all don't go out. Let me handle this matter."

Zhang Hao ordered solemnly.

Yang Haoxuan couldn't help being a little curious: "Brother-in-law, what do you plan to do? Do you need my cooperation?"

"Don't act rashly, I will arrange a special person to take charge of this matter. After we leave, the criminals will relax, and then they will catch them all." Zhang Hao replied.

"What? Wait a few more days? The case is so clear, what are you waiting for? Just take people there and arrest them. If you wait any longer, they might have already left." Yang Haoxuan looked anxious.

Zhang Hao said unhappily, "Can you grow some brains, kid? If what we guessed is true, it means that the whole of Egypt is rotten. You're called scaring the snake, and you're not afraid of people dying?"

"They dare?" Yang Haoxuan asked in disbelief.

"Why not? Reselling cultural relics is a felony, especially for these first-class cultural relics, 100% of them will be shot. If it were you, would you be willing to catch them without a fight?"

"Don't we have Marines?"

"Hmph, you think things too simply. There are more than 100 million people in Cairo, and it's really going to be chaotic. What can people like the Marine Corps do?"

Besides, although there is a military base in Suez Port, who knows if it has been bought?As long as these soldiers are deliberately late for a few hours, the day lily will be cold by then.

Yang Haoxuan was stunned when he heard the words: "Isn't it? Just because of this little thing?"

"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, have you heard? Your sister and Nana are here, we can't take risks."

Zhang Hao said earnestly.

"Alas..." Yang Haoxuan sighed helplessly.

Zhang Hao stretched out his hand and patted the other party's shoulder: "Okay, they are local snakes, maybe they already know your identity by now, they have already run away."

"No way? I wore a mask the whole time."

"What's the use of wearing a mask? I guess that Hamed should send someone to follow you. Once you step into the hotel, your identity will be exposed?"

The hotel they stayed in was specially prepared for him as the Consul, except for the entourage, no one else was qualified to live in it.

Yang Haoxuan slapped his thigh hard: "Oops, why did I forget this? I should have walked outside a few more times, or went directly to you, brother-in-law."

"Okay, you don't need to intervene in this matter, just pretend nothing happened."

Yang Haoxuan nodded, then patted his head: "Brother-in-law, shall we still visit the pyramid?"

"Where are you going? We can only cancel it."

The pyramid is in the western suburbs, far away from the urban area, so you must not take risks at this time.

"My sister..."

"I'll explain to your sister." Zhang Hao waved his hand, and complained casually: "You boy, just make me mess up, don't go out and wander around if you have nothing to do in the future."

"Brother-in-law, where did I make trouble? I am called chivalrous and courageous, fighting against injustices. The Federation should award me a medal for my bravery."

Yang Haoxuan couldn't help retorting.

"Okay, I won't listen to your nonsense." Zhang Hao waved his hand and urged again: "Don't forget, try not to go out these few days, stay in the hotel for me, and I will speed up the progress here. Try to leave early."

"Understood." Yang Haoxuan was a little disheartened.

……

In the next two days, Zhang Hao and Yang Huaqing split up, completed all the tasks in less than two days, and officially left Egypt.

December 12st, the third day after the delegation left.

With the cooperation of the Marine Corps and the local garrison, the Egyptian officials suddenly launched an attack and destroyed the black market where Hamed was located.

At the same time, thousands of official employees were also arrested, mainly from the Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Relics.

The next day, Zhang Hao, who was on the "Navy One", received the preliminary investigation results of this operation.

Yang Haoxuan couldn't wait to ask: "Brother-in-law, what's the matter? Has Hamed been caught?"

"It's a catch!"

"What is considered?"

"Tsk tsk, Hamed was shot dead by the police on the spot. It's a good way to kill someone." Zhang Hao gritted his teeth.

"What about the mummy?"

Zhang Hao threw the investigation report to his brother-in-law, nodded and said: "The mummy has been recovered, but other cultural relics, I'm afraid we will have to find a needle in a haystack."

"So that's the end of this matter?"

Yang Haoxuan was dissatisfied.

"Of course more than that,
In addition, two deputy mayors were dismissed because of negligence of duty and ineffective supervision. By the way, the black market for reselling cultural relics was also completely shut down, that's about it! "

"Hasn't the mayor been dismissed? Surely this has something to do with him?"

Yang Haoxuan said angrily.

Zhang Hao shook his head helplessly: "Cairo is a golden road, so it can't be messed up. The mayor's family is the largest in the area. The best way is to let the other party finish this term and then retire voluntarily."

"It's really cheap for him."

"Oh, there's no way to do that."

Zhang Hao couldn't help sighing.
