What a joke!
It’s just five million US dollars. Do you think I’m someone who would be tempted by five million US dollars?
yes!
Tang Songyuan struggled for three seconds before deciding to participate in the second season of the treasure hunt competition that Li Qingying mentioned.
He signed up for the first session a few months ago, but in the end he did not participate due to some reasons.
But this time, the prize money for winning is higher, and whatever valuable thing is found will also belong to him. There is no reason for him not to participate in the good thing of killing two birds with one stone.
He looked at Li Qingying, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "If you tell me the news now, aren't you afraid that I will defeat you again?"
Li Qingying glanced at Ni Sisi, smiled at him in turn, and said, "Whatever, it all depends on your ability."
"Besides, just because you can beat me once, doesn't mean you can keep winning."
Tang Songyuan knew that Li Qingying had the ability to perceive objects, including the consciousness of living things, within fifty meters.
But from the perspective of treasure hunting alone, her perception should not be as powerful as Tang Songyuan's clairvoyance, and her efficiency would also be worse.
Maybe there were some other abilities that Tang Song and Yuan didn't know about.
He chuckled and said, "Okay, since you said so, let's see the real results in the treasure hunting contest."
Li Qingying smiled and stared at Tang Songyuan sharply: "I look forward to competing with you. I will prove to you that my strength will never lose to you!"
"Or if you think it's not enough, let's put more money in and take a gamble?"
Tang Songyuan raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "What are you betting on?"
Li Qingying said: "If I win, you can explain to me clearly what you didn't finish last time."
"Tell me everything you know..."
"Then what if you lose?" Tang Songyuan asked.
Li Qingying said without hesitation: "If I lose, I'll let you do whatever you want!"
Tang Songyuan looked at the mysterious ball on her chest and sneered: "If I want to deal with you, the last time in Mandalay was the best opportunity."
The implication is that if I hadn't been merciful at that time, you would be a dead person now.
Li Qingying tilted her head and looked at him and said, "What else do you think we should do?"
Ni Sisi on the side bit her straw and interjected: "According to the principle of reciprocity, you have to come up with conditions that make my junior brother's heart flutter."
Li Qingying thought for a moment and said: "Well, I still have an uncut piece of imperial green jade material there, weighing five kilograms. If you win, it will be yours."
Hiss~!
Tang Songyuan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Is this girl so willing to spend money?
If it were really made from imperial green jadeite, it would definitely be worth over 100 million.
Could it be that she is particularly confident about this suitcase treasure hunt competition?
"Okay, then it's decided!" After thinking about it for a while, Tang Songyuan finally agreed.
He looked at Ni Sisi and said, "Sister, do you want to continue shopping? How about we go to the airport to sign up?"
Ni Sisi chuckled lightly, her eyes swept between Tang Songyuan and Li Qingying, and said: "Listening to your conversation just now, it seems that there is some unknown secret between the two of you."
Naturally, Tang Songyuan would not tell Ni Sisi the secrets related to extraordinary abilities.
He changed the subject and said: "She and I are innocent, what kind of secret can we have?"
"Sister, don't think too much..."
Ni Sisi stood up, held his arm and said, "I'm not thinking wildly, but if you don't want to say it, forget it. I won't ask again."
After arriving all the way to Los Angeles International Airport, Tang Songyuan once again found the place where he signed up last time.
With Ni Sisi's translation support, he successfully registered again.
"Is there a suitcase auction going on there?" Ni Sisi asked, pointing to the suitcase auction site not far from the registration office.
Still at the same place as last time, Tang Songyuan also saw the familiar fat black brothers, as well as Old Bill, Mark and others.
However, he took a look with his perspective and found that there were no items of great value in the suitcases being auctioned today, so he did not plan to participate.
"right!"
Tang Songyuan smiled and said, "Sister, are you also interested in these?"
Ni Sisi shook her head and said: "No! I just wonder why there are not so many abandoned suitcases in our country, but there are so many in the West that we need to hold various auctions to digest them."
Tang Songyuan slumped his shoulders and said, "Who knows? I heard that in places like Los Angeles International Airport, there are hundreds or even thousands of lost suitcases every day."
"But within thirty days, 80 to 90 percent will end up being mailed to the original owner."
"However, there are still many suitcases that end up being left at the airport due to reasons such as missing labels. Over time, this situation has formed."
Just as he was talking, Franco Li called Tang Songyuan and told him that there were new developments in the Christie's auction house theft case and asked him to come over.
The two hurried to Franco Lee's antique store.
Franco took the two of them to a room that looked a bit like an office. After pouring them a cup of coffee, Franco said:
"I just received confidential information from the police. Christie's auction house conducted a comprehensive investigation of internal employees and ruled out the possibility of an insider committing the crime."
"At the same time, according to reliable sources, this theft case is not the first mysterious disappearance case in Los Angeles. It is the fifth case with similar modus operandi."
With that said, Franco handed Tang Songyuan a brochure, which was the auction item brochure for this Christie's summer auction. The places marked with red pen on it were the stolen auction items.
Two Picasso paintings sent for auction in the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties are also among them.
Tang Songyuan flipped through the book and carefully examined the dozen or so stolen auction items.
As expected, these items are very easy to carry.
Whether it's a Buddha statue, jade or a diamond crown, you only need a backpack to take it with you.
And that piece of porcelain is nothing more than a box used by the French royal family in the eighteenth century to hold candy. Although it is made of inlaid enamel painting.
Tang Songyuan asked: "Franco, when did these theft cases with similar committing methods first occur?"
In his opinion, although the case is a bit strange, it has not reached the level of outrageousness.
Just like the plots in some movies, some carefully planned high-tech techniques can also achieve such effects.
However, judging from the number of stolen items, it is basically certain that a single person committed the crime.
Only take small amounts and the most valuable ones.
And Tang Songyuan himself was an extraordinary person. If this matter involved extraordinary means, the possibility would be even greater.
Franco thought for a moment and said, "The earliest thing was a month ago, and the person who stole it was Mr. Goulding Dodge, a famous collector in Los Angeles."
"Two precious paintings and approximately US$100,000 in cash were stolen from his mansion in Beverly Hills."
