Weekend, Santa Monica.
Xiao Ran, who had been resting for two days, appeared at the auction again.
What he participated in today was an auction of confiscated items from the customs.
The owner of this auction is Los Angeles Airport Customs.
The items that appeared at the auction were various items confiscated by airport customs. They were a dazzling array of items in a wide range of categories.
When Xiao Ran took Elaine and drove the red Lafa to the auction venue, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Many professional treasure hunters and passers-by who gathered outside the auction venue, waiting for the auction to begin, turned to look at the roaring red chariot.
Seeing Xiao Ran getting out of the car, all the professional treasure hunters on the scene felt their eyelids twitch.
Some of the guys who had secretly plotted against him were even a little frightened.
"Fake! Why is this guy Sean here? This is not a good thing."
"Have you heard that Leon and the others were killed? This guy might have done it."
"Leon and the others tried to kidnap Sean during the day and killed them all at night. He is the most suspect!"
A professional treasure hunter whispered, his eyes flickering.
He was also filled with jealousy and secretly had an idea for Xiao Ran, but he just didn't take action.
Leon and his group were killed, which scared this guy to death.
As soon as he received the news, he gave up all his thoughts, fearing that he would be killed.
As soon as he finished speaking, a colleague in his early thirties next to him picked up the conversation.
"Didn't the police say that the series of murders were committed by professional killers? There is no evidence and nothing has been found so far."
"And I heard that the police investigated Sean the next day and ruled him out as a suspect. He is just an international student and has no ability!"
Hearing this, a professional treasure hunter in his forties shook his head disdainfully.
"Use your brain! If a billionaire wants to kill people, do they still need to do it themselves? Just give them some money and there will be killers to help you."
"Everyone knows that Sean will retaliate. Since Lyon and the others want to kidnap him, how can this guy let those idiots go?"
Many professional treasure hunters were talking about the murders that shocked the entire industry.
While talking in low voices, they were also secretly terrified.
Although there was no evidence pointing to Xiao Ran, the police also ruled him out as a suspect.
But combined with his behavior in the auction house, many professional treasure hunters are convinced.
The murder of those idiots like Leon and White was absolutely inseparable from Sean. It was probably the killers he hired to do it.
In addition to the professional treasure hunters, the passers-by at the scene also looked at Xiao Ran curiously.
As treasure hunting enthusiasts, they have also heard of Xiao Ran's name.
His miraculous sudden wealth has made him a legendary figure, and all kinds of gossip spread all over the world.
Some of the news is exaggerated and even miraculous.
His photos have already spread all over the Internet and appeared in some media, and many people know him.
The moment they saw him, a discussion broke out among the treasure hunting enthusiasts.
"Wow! This is the legendary Chinese guy. He looks younger than in the photo. The French beauty next to him is also more sexy and charming than in the photo."
"This guy's vision is said to be very sharp. We must keep an eye on this guy during the auction. Maybe we can pick up a few treasures."
While he was talking, Xiao Ran had already brought Elaine to the door of the auction venue.
Anthony and the others who were following the protection stood a little further away and did not follow.
The homicide detective who had been following him these days was nowhere to be seen.
After several days of tracking, those guys found nothing, so they had no choice but to go back home to avoid wasting time.
When Xiao Ran came closer, he raised his hand and said hello to several professional treasure hunters he knew.
Due to the special circumstances, he did not step forward to bump fists or shake hands with these guys, which would involve taking a certain risk.
He doesn't have to worry about this problem himself, but Elaine must pay attention to protection.
Everyone is accustomed to this situation and no one thinks there is anything wrong.
After greeting each other, a professional treasure hunter immediately asked pretending to be curious:
"Sean, I heard people say that those guys in Lyon tried to kidnap you before. Is this true?"
"As a result, those idiots were killed at night. Some guys said it seemed to be related to you."
Xiao Ran shrugged helplessly.
"I have explained this matter to the police and to others more than once."
"It's true that those guys in Lyon tried to kidnap me, but I discovered it in time and prevented those guys from succeeding."
"As for their murder that night, it was a complete coincidence and had nothing to do with me. The results of the police investigation are enough to explain the problem."
"Leon and the others must have done things like kidnapping and extortion. It's normal for someone to come looking for revenge!"
"They all deserved to die. I very much welcome their killing. This is good for everyone."
Many professional treasure hunters present nodded in agreement.
The presence of such murderous scumbags among colleagues is a huge threat to everyone.
What if those scum target me one day? Do I have the luck and ability to escape? I’m afraid it’s enough!
Now that all those scum have been killed by the mysterious killer, it is of course a good thing, as it reduces the threat everyone faces.
While thinking about this, many people still think.
The killing of Leon and others was absolutely inseparable from Xiao Ran.
While they were talking, several more professional treasure hunters rushed to the scene, preparing to participate in the auction.
Including that guy Jeremy, and a few other guys I knew.
After everyone met, they all just raised their hands to say hello, and did not come up to shake hands or hug.
The situation is getting more and more serious now. Many Americans who did not wear masks before have now put on masks.
People's social distance is getting wider and wider, and everyone is on tenterhooks.
Like the previous professional treasure hunters, these guys were also very curious about whether Xiao Ran was related to the deaths of Leon and White.
Several guys who had a good relationship with Xiao Ran also asked about the situation in low voices, their eyes full of curiosity and questions.
In addition, they were also curious about Xiao Ran's surprising discovery at Davis Antique Shop a few days ago.
"Sean, I heard that you discovered an abstract expressionist painting by Willem de Kooning in Davis's store and it sold for one or two hundred million dollars?"
"In addition to Willem de Kooning's paintings, it is said that there is also a "Portrait of Mademoiselle Bogani" in the antique store. Someone offered it 40 to 50 million US dollars, but you didn't sell it?"
A professional treasure hunter I knew asked, his eyes full of envy.
Not only him, but everyone else at the scene was filled with envy, jealousy and hatred.
Xiao Ran looked at the guy and then nodded.
"Yes, I was lucky enough to find several treasures in Davis's antique store, including Willem de Kooning's paintings and "Portrait of Mademoiselle Bogany."
Next, he gave a brief introduction to what he had discovered that day, without hiding anything from these guys.
These guys are all colleagues, and each of them has a pair of ears. They are very well-informed and cannot hide it from them at all.
Following Xiao Ran's introduction, there was an exclamation of exclamation immediately.
At the same time, many treasure hunters’ eyes were filled with envy and jealousy.
After introducing the discovery that day, Xiao Ran suddenly changed the subject.
"Guys, Davis's antique store has been taken over by me. It will reopen in a while. It's called Feilong Zaitian."
"From now on, if you have any good things, only antiques, cultural relics or works of art, you can send them to my antique shop."
"I will evaluate the value of those treasures and then purchase them at a fair price. In this way, both of us can benefit."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of many professional treasure hunters suddenly lit up.
This is one more sales channel! Undoubtedly a good thing!
After chatting for a few more words, Xiao Ran brought the topic to the auction.
"Jeremy, do you have any news about today's customs auction of confiscated items? Let me introduce the situation!"
"Okay, Sean."
Jeremy nodded in response and immediately began to introduce the situation.
"The items in today's auction are all items confiscated by customs at the Los Angeles Airport."
"And after saving for more than half a year, there must be a lot of good stuff in it."
"In previous auctions of customs confiscated items, there were even Picasso paintings..."
Hearing this, the live broadcast room immediately started to boil.
"I'll go! It's incredible that a Picasso painting will appear at this kind of auction!"
"It seems like another good opportunity to catch something missing. I hope Xiao Ran can find something!"
