At dawn, Ding Jiaqi and Qu Xiaoqing came to the racecourse.
First there was a deep hug, and Ding Jiaqi apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, Brother Zhang, I didn't realize there were risks in stacking so much silver together."
"Not that much, only 9 tons."
"Nine tons?"
Ding Jiaqi looked stunned. Isn’t 2+19 21 tons?
"That's right," Zhang Jing said with certainty, "I've used the rest."
"No matter what, just be okay!" Ding Jiaqi hugged Zhang Jing again.
"I checked on the Internet on the way here. There are only five police officers in Whitefish Town, including the chief and clerk," Qu Xiaoqing reminded with his arms folded beside him, "You have money anyway, why not change to a safe zone closer to Seattle?" live?"
Ding Jiaqi's heart moved.
Zhang Jing shook his head. He only had one goal now, which was to make money to upgrade the Mithril warehouse.
During the chat, Ruth, a veterinarian who was still dressed hotly in the cold weather, drove over in a second-hand Chevrolet white two-box sedan.
She was earning credits at school and could only come to the racecourse on Friday, Saturday, and weekends. The racecourse experienced an incident last night, so she hurried here.
"BOSS, boss lady, is anyone injured?" Ruth asked with concern.
"No," Zhang Jing reminded the horse farm veterinarian, "It's cold, so wear thicker clothes next time."
Ruth subconsciously raised the zipper of her coat.
Ding Jiaqi took Zhang Jing's arm and walked inside the racecourse, chatting as she walked, "Qu Xiaoqing checked the information from the library. The July slave ship was sunk by the navy in the Florida Strait on June 23, 1855;
The Strait of Florida is located between the Florida Peninsula, Cuba Island, and the Bahamas Islands, connecting the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. It is 480 kilometers long, 80 to 240 kilometers wide, and 500 to 800 meters deep;
Data proves that it was just an ordinary slave ship, with no high-value items on board, no one looking for it, and no one salvaging it. "
"Sounds a bit troublesome?"
"Yes, if you want to salvage something, you need to rent a professional salvage ship with a deep-sea sonar system, salvage robots, and professional crew. The daily rent is 200,000 meters."
Zhang Jingyuan paused.
He originally thought that renting a yacht for several thousand dollars a day was an exaggeration, and he even thought that people who rent yachts are fools.
Unexpectedly, the daily rent of a professional salvage boat can be as high as 200,000! !
Is this a matter of vision?
Probably yes, Zhang Jing used to be reluctant to stay in a youth hostel that cost more than 50 yuan per day.
"Do you have the exact coordinates of the sunken ship?"
Zhang Jing's idea was simple. He had the coordinates, rented a boat and drove directly there, salvaged the things and left.
"No," Ding Jiaqi shook his head and reminded: "For a century, there were many slave ships coming and going there, and there were also many sunken ships. It is most likely difficult to find them."
My head is big and there are more difficulties than I thought.
"Brother Zhang, what are you looking for?" Ding Jiaqi suggested, "If the value is less than 8 million yuan, it is not worth it and there is a high probability that you will lose money."
"A statue," Zhang Jing introduced: "It is said that you can vaguely see a girl's body through the gauze. It is very perfect."
"Female statue?" Ding Jiaqi stopped and asked thoughtfully, "Does it have wings?"
This question confused Zhang Jing. Why do we need wings? Bad Street Cupid?
Or is it a Manneken Pis?
The collection prompt did not mention wings, so Zhang Jing shook his head.
Unexpectedly, Ding Jiaqi said, "If that's the case, it's most likely worthless. In the mid-19th century, many European stone statues were shipped to the newly born Citizen State;
For example: in the 1850s, the famous Italian sculptor Giovanni Strazza used marble to create an exquisite statue of the Veiled Virgin;
It is white and delicate, not only carving out the gauze, but also portraying the gentleness of the wind;
The technology is so exquisite that you can't believe your eyes, but it's not worth 8 million yuan. "
After a second's pause, Ding Jiaqi said again,
"There are also the benevolent sisters carved in marble by Raphael Monti in 1847," Ding Jiaqi exaggeratedly described:
"Can you imagine, three young girls in bloom, wearing garlands on their heads, hanging slightly, and covered with light gauze fluttering in the breeze. They are almost perfect, and you will fall in love with them at a glance."
"In short!" Ding Jiaqi concluded, "During that time, sculpting artists, whether famous or not, liked to sculpt women wearing gauze, and there were a large number of similar works."
When Ding Jiaqi said this, Zhang Jing became unsure. After all, it was just a incomplete treasure hunt clue. Moreover, Xu Huang was fascinated by it just at a glance and didn't take it seriously at all.
It is more likely that it is just a worthless work by an unknown sculptor, sold to plantation owners for show.
This is not valuable, and that is not valuable either. Zhang Jing was very unconvinced and asked Ding Jiaqi, "What female statue is valuable?"
"The Goddess of War," Ding Jiaqi replied affirmatively, "all the statues in the style I mentioned before are imitations of the Goddess of War."
Zhang Jing's heart was pounding, "Where is it? Is it missing?"
"No, it exists in the Louvre Museum."
Ding Jiaqi's words were like a sharp knife piercing Zhang Jing's heart, which was so cold.
After careful consideration, Zhang Jing decided to give up temporarily. The salvage cost was too expensive and the success rate was too low. It was not cost-effective in any way.
....
The Whitefish Township Police Department held a press conference in the afternoon.
Case one:
The gangster's motive for illegally invading a private residence was obvious: 21 tons...9 tons of silver.
Regardless of why Zhang Jing could predict the ambush or what weapon was used to kill the gangster, the police announced that they would not prosecute. According to the fortress law, the owner has unlimited rights of self-defense against intruders.
Case two:
Illegal possession of an automatic rifle is illegal and Zhang Jing will be prosecuted.
The charge of possessing illegal weapons can be serious or minor, and Zhang Jing and Shen Mingming have made good confessions.
The gun was found, he admitted his mistake sincerely, and he was willing to accept the fine.
If you still have to go to jail, then spend a lot of money on bail. Anyway, since the founding of the country more than 200 years ago, the probability of a rich person going to jail is less than one thousandth of that of a poor person.
The death penalty is even less, very rare.
It is obvious that the law is made by the rich, who make many, many, many laws.
There are countless laws, and each one seems fair on the surface. In fact, there are other laws that affect it. There are preconditions and preconditions, etc., etc., which ordinary people cannot understand at all.
Rich people don’t understand either, but they can hire excellent lawyers at high prices to help them escape guilt.
For example, Zhang Jing only illegally possesses an automatic rifle, so why not illegally possess a cannon?
Private individuals can buy cannons, provided they are not too advanced and the lines are a bit blurry.
The difference between ordinary rifles and automatic rifles is similar to that of castration rate and range, as well as a relatively strict registration system.
When the opportunity was right, Zhang Jing decided to buy two antique cannons and put them in the winery and racecourse to suppress all ghosts and monsters.
