Live Appreciation, Congratulations to Brother

Chapter 162 No danger, but something was stolen
After calling the embassy, ​​Chen Yanguang felt that it was not safe enough.

He called Lawyer Fang again:

"Uncle Fang, haven't you studied in Neon? Do you know anyone from the Yamaguchi-gumi?"

"I'm in Kyoto now, and I'm in a little trouble..."

On the other end of the phone, lawyer Fang Tangjing couldn't laugh or cry.

He told Chen Yanguang: "If it is really like what you said, the antique store is involved in the smuggling of cultural relics, then the embassy will not be able to help you."

"For this kind of thing, the domestic cultural relics bureau must issue official documents to their embassy in China, and go through layer by layer of approval before it is possible for the cultural relics to be returned to the country."

"Don't worry about it, what should you do, what should you do?"

In the room, Tokugawa Daisuke's statement was exactly the same as Lawyer Fang's.

He told Zhang Yang very politely:

"I bought this bronze ware from other collectors with money, and the money and the goods are clear."

"I understand Zhang Sangyi's enthusiasm for the protection of cultural relics, but you have no evidence to prove that there is a problem with the source of this item in my store."

Zhang Yang shook his head: "There is evidence."

He pulled out a picture from his phone and showed it to everyone.

It was from Zeng Gong from China, the original cover of the bronze you just now.

The previous tomb robbers were so rough that they dug up the cover.

That's why this incomplete you was sold abroad.

"The things are in the museum in Guangdong Province. If you don't believe me, you can take them to a third-party organization for appraisal to see if they are a set."

"Do you now believe that this thing is the stolen property of a tomb robber?" Zhang Yang said very confidently.

Without any solid evidence, how could he make a move!

"I can't believe it." Daisuke Tokugawa smiled awkwardly.

"This thing is now in my private collection."

"But seeing that you are very sincere, I can give up a little profit."

He stretched out a palm, expressing his willingness to sell the bronze you to Zhang Yang at 50% of the price.

"Damn, doesn't his inexplicable discount mean that he believed it?"

Chen Yanguang, who had already returned to the room, whispered in Zhang Yang's ear.

"Yeah, but this guy somehow wants to make some money."

"Then shall we agree? 50% of the profit is also good."

Chen Yanguang recalled what Lawyer Fang said, that the official channels probably had no hope.

What's more, people are willing to take care of it or not.

"Not bad, this is stolen goods. We have to hand it over when we buy it back."

Zhang Yang's thinking is very clear, white tickets are okay, he will not do things that are pure losses.

But you can't refuse directly, then there is nothing to talk about.

After confirming that Chen Yanguang had called the embassy, ​​Zhang Yang nodded.

He asked Boss Gong to translate his words:

"It's great to cut the price by half. Mr. Tokugawa has a great conscience, and I agree to buy it."

"But other loot from the same source as this bronze cannon, can you sell them to me at a [-]% discount?"

"I want to bring them all back home."

After listening to Boss Gong's translation, Daisuke Tokugawa still didn't believe it at first.

There was no other way, Zhang Yang could only let Chen Yanguang show off his banknote ability.

Seeing the balance on the Overseas Account of the Hedong Group, Nihong people were very happy.

That expression is like saying:
Brother, you have so much money, why didn't you say it earlier!

Tokugawa Daisuke didn't hesitate much and immediately said: He still has many such good things on hand.

What he said was just confirmed by Zhang Yang's thoughts.

It is impossible to sell one mutilated you at a time for such a dangerous thing as transporting stolen and sold cultural relics out of the country.

This Tokugawa Daisuke, buy a lot!
……

"Zhang Sang, you are the most patriotic Chinese person I have seen since I opened the shop for so long."

While complimenting Zhang Yang, Daisuke Tokugawa took out an album from the bookshelf behind him.

The size is about the same as the collection manual of the auction at that time.

Zhang Yang took it and roughly flipped through a few pages, feeling a little numb.

The cultural relics on it include not only bronzes, but also ancient jades, pottery, bone products, etc. The number is astonishing.

If it is all calculated according to the market price, even if it is discounted in half, the tens of millions of dollars in the account of the Hedong Group will probably be spent.

Even if you make money by robbing tombs, it's not how you make money.

Whose tomb is stuffed with so many things?

Zhang Yang flipped back to look at the bronze, wanting to confirm the identity of the owner of the tomb.

This time, he discovered something was wrong.

The decorations and shapes of many bronze wares in the atlas do not reach the Western Zhou Dynasty at all, and some of them even have obvious Han Dynasty styles.

Count the number of tripods again, fourteen.

Could it be that in ancient times, there were two princes and kings who were worth seven tripods in Nantong, and they were buried together after death?Buried in Brokeback Mountain?

Or the things in this album are just cultural relics that were exported from the same batch, rather than from the same tomb?
Or, in fact, there are fakes in the catalog?

Zhang Yang leans towards the latter two possibilities.

He closed the album: "There is no problem with the things, but we still have to look at the real thing to be sure."

Daisuke Tokugawa nodded with a smile: "Understood, after all, it is a big business of more than one billion (yen)."

"But these things are not in the store, they are all in my private warehouse."

"Are you far away?"

"Not far, about 10 minutes by car."

Zhang Yang searched for the place name translated by Boss Gong. It was a logistics park not far from Hongfa Temple.

Then go check it out.

Everyone came out from the back door of the antique shop, and just turned around to the street in front of the shop when several police cars suddenly drove up on the road.

A police car with flashing warning lights stopped right in front of the antique store.

Behind the police car, there was a black car with a red flag fluttering in the wind on the front of the car.

"This is the car of the embassy." Boss Gong was the first to react.

"Really? You came so fast!" Chen Yanguang said with a beaming smile.

……

10 minute later.

"Mr. Chen, we will report the cultural relics, but there is really nothing we can do at the moment." The staff of the embassy patiently explained to Chen Yanguang.

At first, the young staff felt that the rich second generation had delusions of persecution.

Didn't they get kidnapped?Where did the criminals come from?

But after Zhang Yang explained, the staff also realized the seriousness of the problem.

There are so many stolen cultural relics suspected of being smuggled out of the country. For normal people, I am afraid that I have only seen them on the British and French coalition forces in textbooks. It is not too much to mistake them for transnational criminal groups.

I really ran into it abroad, "You will feel numb if you stomp it".

But also because it is abroad, and it is in Neon, the kidnapping case can call the police to ask the local police for assistance, who cares about the cultural relics smuggling case!

"Then forget it? Damn, didn't I just perform for nothing?" Chen Yanguang was quite dissatisfied.

Zhang Yang felt the same way, if he missed it today, maybe tomorrow, these cultural relics would not be in Kyoto.

At this time, the police came over to confirm that if there was no kidnapping case, they would call it a day.

Zhang Yang hurriedly said: "Bridge bean sack (wait)!"

Others: "Huh?"

Zhang Yang pulled Boss Gong over.

"Quick, help tell them that a batch of my goods has been stolen, and I know where the other party stores the stolen goods!"

"Theft?" The staff of the embassy was puzzled at first, and then their eyes lit up: "Then we can provide you with legal aid."

"That's great. I followed the thief from Linhai all the way to Nihong, and finally saw the dawn of solving the case."

Zhang Yang's eyes and tone were full of emotion.

Chen Yanguang came up and patted him on the shoulder: "Zhang Sang..."

"Get rolling." Zhang Yang slapped Chen Yanguang's hand off, and showed off his identity as the deputy curator of the museum in a clichéd manner.

The story of [the cultural relics in the collection were stolen, and the director of the museum chased the murderer thousands of miles] was displayed in front of everyone.

The only one who questioned the authenticity of the story was Daisuke Tokugawa.

"If that's the case, why didn't you say so sooner?"

"Because I want to follow the vine and find the people who stole cultural relics in China." Zhang Yang replied with a sneer.

Tokugawa Daisuke's complexion changed. In the eyes of everyone asking, he said that he didn't know anything.

"I just bought a batch of antiques from a cultural relic dealer. I don't know the specific source of the cultural relics."

"I want that person's contact information." Zhang Yang chased after the victory.

"No problem, that person, we call him Niu Warrior." Tokugawa Daisuke replied very cooperatively.

"What the hell?" Zhang Yang looked at Gong Yonghao: "Brother, is your translation accurate?"

Gong Yonghao nodded firmly and added:

"It's just a man named Niu who wears a mask every time he trades."
