It was late at night, but Koganei Taro was still full of energy. Facing the light, he carefully fiddled with a piece of bronze in his hand. He did not know how long he was tinkering with it. Finally, Koganei Taro took a deep breath and showed a happy smile.
Okay, it's old again... ah no, it's a precious cultural relic that has been restored!
Looking at the bronze vessel in his hand that exuded a strong historical atmosphere, Koganei Taro was convinced that although it was a replica mass-produced last week, even if it was said to be from the Western Zhou Dynasty, many people would believe it!
Of course it is impossible to deceive experts with this kind of thing, but for those nouveau riche who have made some money and want to spend money to buy antiques to decorate their appearance, it is not too easy!
Koganei Taro seemed to have seen a middle-aged man in a suit holding a box full of "Fukuzawa Yukichi" begging him to sell the bronze to him.
"Hahaha!"
After laughing for a while, Koganei Taro coughed and restrained himself from feeling proud.
As an outstanding antique collector (I think he does) and a famous appraiser (I still think he does), he is low-key and introverted, which is the temperament Taro Koganei has always pursued (although he doesn't have it at all).
"Dong-dong-dong! Dang-dong-dong!"
Suddenly, there was a rapid and heavy knock on the door of "Amida House". Koganei Taro was startled, and his fat body subconsciously hid under the table - he thought it was another buyer who had been deceived by him. He settled the score.
But Koganei Taro soon remembered that his "Amitaya" hadn't been opened for a long time. Who would suddenly come to settle accounts with him?
So he crawled out from under the table again, and used the surveillance camera at the door to check who was knocking on the door - as a female businessman who often sells fake goods (really), this is the basic quality of Taro Koganei.
This is...isn't this Representative Ishida's nephew? .
Seeing that the person knocking on the door was Ishida Yoshito, Koganei Taro felt relieved because he had never tricked Representative Ishida.
As a seasoned businesswoman, Taro Koganei knows very well who can be cheated and who cannot be cheated. Naturally, he will cheat those rich and wealthy upstarts without any psychological burden. However, facing a person with status and wealth like Representative Ishida, he His status is such that he can kill his boss effortlessly. He has always tried his best to curry favor with him. Although he cannot say that he will make a profit at a loss, he will definitely not sell fake goods to those big shots.
Representative Ishida is an old customer of "Amitaya". What was sold to him was all sold to him by Koganei Taro, who was tricked and abducted from other people... Oh no, it was a genuine product purchased at a high price, even a treasure. In the face of other people, Koganei Taro He may still feel guilty, but facing Representative Ishida's nephew, Koganei Taro is not guilty.
So Koganei Taro quickly trotted to the door at a speed that was incompatible with his fat figure, with a smile on his face. He made sure that Ishida Kihito could see his smiling face at the first time, well, although his smiling face was not pretty.
"Amitaya" didn't open for a long time, which made the impatient Ishida Kihito unhappy. But when the door opened, he saw Koganei Taro's ugly face with a disgusting smile, which made Ishida Kihiro even more unhappy. .
As soon as Koganei Taro opened the door, he saw Ishida Kihito's expression of confusion. Of course, he didn't think it was a problem with his appearance. He only thought that Ishida Kihito was in a very low mood because his uncle had passed away. He couldn't see anyone smiling so happily in front of him, so he immediately He put on a sad expression: "Ishida-san, you must cheer up about Representative Ishida's matter! God, why did you take away Representative Ishida... Other politicians are all idiots who talk empty words. Only Representative Ishida is a good person who truly cares about our people. He is simply the "Light of Japan"! Ishida-san, you are the successor of Representative Ishida. I believe that if it were you, you would be able to complete what Representative Ishida has not yet done. The future of Japan depends on your support! "
Taro Koganei spoke with great emotion and emotion, as if he really regarded Representative Ishida and Kito Ishida as the hope of Japan.
If it were normal times, Ishida Kishito might have cooperated with him in a performance, but now, he was no longer in the mood, so Ishida Kishito walked directly into the "Amida Room" and even almost bumped into Koganei Taro.
Koganei Tai
Lang was a little surprised by Ishida's behavior, because he and Ishida had known each other for a long time. Ishida was usually gentle and courteous, and always had a kind attitude towards himself. Why did he become like this today?
Is the pressure of campaigning too much?
He could only think this way.
After Ishida Kito entered the door, Koganei Taro wanted to close the door, but two big men in black stopped him from closing the door and walked into the "Amita House" together.
Just when Koganei Taro was confused, Ishida's pleasant voice came over: "They are my bodyguards."
After hearing Ishida's pleasant words, Koganei Taro immediately put on a smile and made a gesture of invitation to the two bodyguards. Although people like him have a little money, have appeared in several treasure appraisal programs organized by TV stations, and are celebrities and wealthy people in the eyes of ordinary people, compared with heirs of political families like Ishida Kito, they are still ordinary people. One, not to mention he is also aware of the power of the Ishida family. Although Ishida Kihito is only a candidate, other candidates have withdrawn one after another, leaving only a guy who has no qualifications, no qualifications, no connections, and no connections, so Ishida Kihito is basically determined He will succeed his uncle as the new councillor, so even if he is Ishida's bodyguard, he does not dare to offend him and must be careful to flatter him. ..
Moreover, based on Koganei Taro's perspective, which he has cultivated by spending many years in places with three religions and nine schools, these two bodyguards are not simple, and they are murderous. There may be someone who is actually alive, so it is better not to offend them.
After Ishida Kihito and his bodyguards all came in, Koganei Taro wanted to prepare tea for Ishida Kihito, but Ishida Kihito stopped him: "No, I just came here to ask one thing. A few years ago, didn't you sell out?" A set of jade dolls for my uncle? My uncle likes them very much, so I plan to give them to my uncle for burial, but I heard someone say that there are not only twelve jade dolls in that set, but thirteen, so I want to ask you, when you sold the jade dolls to my uncle, did you miss one that you didn’t sell to him?”
"Emerald doll?"
Koganei Taro recalled it carefully and vaguely remembered that he did seem to have sold a set of jade dolls to Representative Ishida, but he was not sure about the details and had to check the accounts.
"Ishida-san, please allow me to check the ledger. It's been a long time and I can't remember clearly."
Taro Koganei said happily to Ishida.
"Okay, check carefully."
Ishida replied cheerfully.
"Okay, I'll come as soon as I go."
Koganei Taro bowed and ran towards the inner room in small steps.
Ishida Kito did not sit down, nor did the two accompanying bodyguards. The three of them just stood in the "Amitabha Room", trying to avoid contact between their bodies and anything in the "Amitabha Room".
Not long after, Koganei Taro came back with the account book. While flipping through the account book, he said with certainty: "I remembered that there were indeed only twelve jade dolls sold to Senator Ishida at that time. That's right. I received the goods. There were only twelve at that time, not a thirteenth jade doll."
At the same time, Koganei Taro felt slightly regretful.
If Ishida Kihito didn't come directly to the door like this, but called him and asked him to deliver something to his door, then he could make a fake one to fool Ishida Kihito. Anyway, Ishida Kihito said it was for his uncle's burial, so it should be No secrets will be revealed.
Huh? Wait, can I change my story now and say that there is a thirteenth jade doll, but I won't be able to find it for a while. If I ask Ishida Kito to wait for me for a few days, won't I have time to forge it?
Koganei Taro felt that he was too smart, but when he came into contact with the two bodyguards next to Ishida Yoshito, his heart felt as if someone was tightly grabbing him, and all his little thoughts were swept away in an instant.
Forget it, forget it, if you have money, you won’t be able to spend it even if you make it, so forget it!
At the last moment, Koganei Taro remembered the principle that he had always lived by, not to defraud the rich and powerful people, and his little thoughts were extinguished.
Ishida was disappointed, but he did not lose heart. Instead, he asked, "What about the person who sold you the jade doll? Can you still find it?"
Since Koganei Taro is not here, where is the person who sells his jade doll?
"Let me see……"
Koganei Taro continued to search the account book, and then quickly said: "Oh, I found it, I collected it from Yamaguchi."
"Yamaguchi? Who is Yamaguchi?"
Ishida asked happily.
Koganei Taro explained: "Yamaguchi is an old man living in Edogawa District. He has nothing to do every day and is a pauper. However, his father was once an officer of the Kwantung Army, so his family has many antiques from the Central Plains. Not only jade dolls, but also our I also received other good things from him. The old guy only regarded those things as junk and had no idea of the value of those things. Only people like Senator Ishida and Ishida-san can appreciate them."
While explaining Yamaguchi, Koganei Taro also did not forget to flatter Ishida.
However, Ishida Kishito had no intention of enjoying Taro Koganei's flattery, but was suddenly attracted by the information mentioned by Taro Koganei.
Kwantung Army? No wonder!
What the Kwantung Army had done in the Central Plains back then, how could he, as the heir of a Japanese political family, not know so much about it? In this way, the probability that the thirteenth jade doll would be left in Yamaguchi's hands became very high.
Ishida nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Koganei Taro: "Then please tell me Yamaguchi's address and contact information."
Koganei Taro said with a sultry expression: "Ishida-san, how can a low-class person like Yamaguchi be qualified to deal with a person like you? Leave it to me and let me ask Yamaguchi."
Koganei Taro did not have the guts to sell Ishida Kiki's fake things, but in conjunction with Yamaguchi, he sold the possible thirteenth jade doll for a good price. Koganei Taro not only had the guts, but also had great courage.
Not only that, he also had other reasons for not letting Ishida Ki and Yamaguchi meet.
Under the brainwashing of his clever mouth, Yamaguchi has become convinced that the pile of antiques in his house are scrap metal and a pile of rubbish. He, Taro Kanei, is kind-hearted and does not want to see a lonely old man like Yamaguchi suffer, so he loses money. When it comes to purchasing those junk, if Kito Ishida comes to the door, as soon as the words come out, Yamaguchi knows that all his treasures have been sold at a low price, so it is better to go to Koganei Taro to fight for it. What if Yamaguchi refuses to sell his antiques in the future? You know, the Yamaguchi family still has many treasures.
This is not to say that Koganei Taro was lenient and didn't squeeze all the value out of that guy Yamaguchi. It was because the Yamaguchi family had too many good things, and he didn't know how to clean them up. All kinds of precious antiques were scattered everywhere, and even he himself He couldn't find them all, and Koganei Taro was afraid that Yamaguchi would notice the problem if he acted too eagerly, so he could only passively wait for Yamaguchi to run out of money and bring some antiques to his door to exchange money. Although the time was extended, Koganei Taro could guarantee that he would get the lowest price. Getting those precious Central Plains antiques is the most important thing for the stingy Koganei Taro.
"No, tell me the address and I'll go there now."
Ishida Kishito doesn't know Koganei Taro's little thoughts, and he doesn't bother to know. He is now racing against every second.
That woman Ryoko Yakushiji will not give up so easily. She is not taking action now. I am afraid she is also checking whether the legend of the Jade Doll is true. When she confirms the legend of the Jade Doll, she will definitely find a way to snatch the thirteenth Jade Doll by any means necessary. , so that you have the qualifications to negotiate with yourself and ask yourself to share the jade doll's martial arts skills.
Ishida Kito guessed that Yakushiji Ryoko would grab the thirteenth jade doll, which was correct, but he thought wrong when he said that she would blackmail Ishida Kito to share the martial arts on the jade doll.
Based on the character of Yakushiji Ryoko, share? What to share? She has always wanted to have it all to herself. If she really wanted to get the thirteenth jade doll first, the first thing she would do is clean up Ishida's house and take back all the jade dolls that belong to her. She would not be happy with Ishida at all. The idea of win-win cooperation.
Koganei Taro wanted to continue to shirk, but the bodyguard behind Ishida Kihito glanced at him, and he immediately gave up. He obediently told Ishida Kihito Yamaguchi's home address and mobile phone number.
After getting Yamaguchi's home address and mobile phone number, Ishida Kihito approached him.
The two bodyguards at the back nodded. After the two bodyguards received Ishida Kishito's instructions, one of them passed Ishida Kishito and walked to Koganei Taro. With Koganei Taro's confused expression, he put his hand through Koganei Taro's chest.
Koganei Taro's eyes were split open. The severe pain and panic made him want to shout, but Ishida Kihiro's bodyguard held his mouth firmly, preventing him from making any sound.
At this time, another bodyguard also moved, taking down the expensive-looking antiques displayed in the "Amitabha House" one by one, and threw them casually into a big bag, not caring if they bumped into each other. Anyway, what he wants is not these imitations that look expensive but are actually cheap.
"By the way, search this antique store again to see if the Jade Doll is really not here."
Ishida Kishito ordered.
Although Koganei Taro said that he did not have the thirteenth jade doll, and Ishida Kiki felt that he was not lying, Koganei Taro's reputation in the industry is not good. Who knows if he is planning to secretly hide the thirteenth jade doll? Then find someone else to come to his door another day to act and deceive him.
No matter how true and reasonable the words of this female businessman are, Ishida Kishito will not believe them all. Moreover, in Ishida Kishito's plan, Koganei Taro is going to die, and he will not let Koganei Taro have the opportunity to reveal it to others. Clues to the Emerald Doll.
After rummaging through the boxes and cabinets in the "Amitabha House", Ishida, who failed to get the thirteenth jade doll, left the "Amitabha House" with joy and disappointment. Then, a tongue of fire burst out of the "Amitabha House", and the all-wooden "Amitabha House" instantly Drowned in the sea of fire.
It's not enough for Taro Koganei to be killed by pretending to be a burglary. Just in case, it would be safer to burn down the entire "Amida House". In this way, even if Kito Ishida leaves anything that can be used as evidence, it will be destroyed. The fire was extinguished. Read the book
After the fire ignited, a figure walked out of the hiding place, looked at the raging fire and murmured: Burn it, burn it, remember to continue this cruelty, otherwise I will be very disappointed...
