After a while, Aida Zhenrang took Anthony and the others back to the antique store.
After meeting, Anthony immediately reported the situation.
"Sean, the Buddha head you bought has been stored in the vault."
"Through the positioning device installed on the Buddha's head, we can determine the location of the Buddha's head at any time."
"Unless the positioning device is removed, we may lose the position of the Buddha's head."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"Well done, please pay attention to the positioning signal later. I believe the Buddha head is safe here."
"Okay, Sean, I'll keep an eye out."
Anthony nodded in response.
After saying that, he stepped aside.
Looking at Aida Majo again, his face looked a little dark, not to mention how depressed he was.
However, he could only hold it in fear and did not dare to complain at all.
The more you talk, the more likely you are to be wrong, but he still understands this.
However, Xiao Ran didn't intend to let him go just like that.
The next moment, he suddenly said:
"Boss Aida, there should be a lot of good things in your vault, right? If possible, can you let us take a look?"
"Of course, if you don't want to, we can't force you."
Aida Majo's expression suddenly changed and quickly returned to normal.
The next moment, he quickly bowed and responded:
"Mr. Sean, most of the antiques, cultural relics and works of art in the store have been displayed. They are on these museum shelves for everyone to see."
"There are not many things in the vault, only a few items, and most of them have been ordered and have not been picked up yet, so it is inconvenient to display them."
"As for the Buddha head you bought, we will protect it with all our heart. When you leave Japan, pick up the treasure and we will deliver it to your door."
Xiao Ran looked at this guy and then nodded.
"In that case, forget it, let me take a look at the treasures displayed in the store."
"Mr. Hasegawa is right, there are indeed some very good treasures in your antique store."
"For example, this azure glaze brush wash is very exquisite. It makes people's eyes light up when they look at it, and they can't put it down."
As he said this, he picked up an azure glaze brush washer from the museum shelf and began to admire it.
While admiring it, he was also discussing the porcelain with Shinjo Aida and asking for a price.
Hasegawa and others standing aside, the doubts in their eyes are getting heavier and heavier.
Through Xiao Ran's series of actions and the conversation with Aida Majo, they seemed to see something was wrong, but they couldn't tell where the suspicion was.
They looked Aida Majo up and down, looking at everything in the antique store.
In their eyes, the current Aida Antique Shop and Aida Zhenjo suddenly had a layer of fog, and they were completely different from before.
Facing their suspicious looks, Aida Shinjo suddenly felt like a thorn in his back.
But he could only bite the bullet and introduce the origin of the azure glaze brush washer to Xiao Ran, pretending to be nonchalant.
at the same time.
Hundreds of kilometers away in Osaka, in a traditional Japanese-style villa.
Two senior leaders of the Kobe Yamaguchi Group were frowning and looking at the surveillance screen on their tablet computers.
What appeared on the tablet was the real-time surveillance screen of the Aida antique store in Tokyo.
In the surveillance screen, Xiao Ran was checking the bottom of the azure glaze brush wash.
His voice also came out simultaneously and reached the ears of the two Yamaguchi-gumi bosses.
"Hey! The base of this azure glaze brush washer is actually made in the Yongzheng year of the Qing Dynasty. Could it be that Yongzheng imitated the Ru kiln brush washer of the Northern Song Dynasty? It looks interesting."
As he spoke, he took out the magnifying glass from his coat pocket and observed it carefully.
Looking at him on the surveillance screen, the two Yamaguchi-gumi bosses far away in Kobe were filled with hatred, but they were helpless.
At this time, they were all a little frightened and their eyes were full of worry.
After a while, one of the big guys suddenly said:
"Sean, this bastard is so cunning, and he always does things unexpectedly, making people confused."
"Could this bastard have discovered Aida's identity? That's why so many things have happened. If so, it will be a big trouble!"
"Should we react immediately and move the things hidden in Aida's antique shop? To avoid being discovered by this bastard"
Hearing this, the other Yamaguchi-gumi boss fell silent.
After thinking for a long time, the guy shook his head and said:
"It's better to be still than to move! In this situation, we'd better not make any moves, as that will make us more exposed!"
"Because of those idiots Yamamoto Katsuyoshi and Morita, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and even the National Police Agency have focused on the club and launched a special investigation."
"To avoid being exposed, it's best for us to do nothing and stay quiet for a while. When this bastard Sean leaves Japan, the news will be over."
"As for Aida Majo and his men, they should not be exposed. They came from Osaka and have been in Tokyo for more than 20 years. They have been hiding well."
"Besides you and me, there are no more than three people in the club who know Aida's true identity. Even that idiot Morita doesn't know about Aida's existence."
"Those bastards Sean have just arrived in Japan a few days ago. It's impossible for them to know Aida's identity, and it's not easy for them to find out the truth."
After hearing this explanation, the other boss couldn't help but nodded.
Just as he was about to say something, the cell phone next to him suddenly rang.
The guy immediately picked up his cell phone and answered the call.
The call came from one of his bosses.
After just two sentences, the expression of the Yamaguchi-gumi boss changed and he started to curse.
"Baga! The task force from China, together with those bastards from the Osaka Metropolitan Police Department, just raided one of our antique stores."
"In that antique shop, they found several smuggled antiques from China. Now we are in trouble!"
Before he finished speaking, the other Yamaguchi-gumi boss suddenly stood up.
"What's going on? Why did those bastards from the Chinese task force and the Metropolitan Police launch a raid?"
"Aren't those bastards from the Metropolitan Police Department always working in secret? Why did they suddenly become so active?"
As soon as he said this, the Yamaguchi-gumi boss was suddenly stunned.
The boss who was answering the phone had the same expression.
The next moment, they suddenly said in unison:
"It must be an order from the Japanese Police Agency, and it must be related to that hateful bastard Sean!"
As he said that, the two gangsters turned their heads and looked at Xiao Ran on the surveillance screen.
At this time, Xiao Ran had put down the azure glaze brush washer.
Then he picked up a cowpea and red jade pot and spring vase and was admiring it.
Seeing his complacent look, the two Yamaguchi-gumi bosses in Osaka almost became so angry that they passed away on the spot.
The next moment, one of the big guys cursed angrily:
"This damn bastard, I'm going to kill him!"
In the blink of an eye, nearly twenty minutes passed.
In Aida antique store.
Xiao Ran picked up a calligraphy album from the museum shelf in front of him and looked at it.
On the cover of this calligraphy album, there is this line of regular script written clearly.
"Returning Words", Ming Dynasty, Wen Zhengming.
The moment he saw this Dharma script, Xiao Ran couldn't help but pause, and then said in surprise:
"Hey! Aren't I dazzled by Wen Zhengming's "Letter of Return"?"
"Isn't this treasure stored in the Forbidden City? Why does it appear here?"
Before he finished speaking, Aangda Zhenrang, who was standing aside, couldn't help but blush a little.
Immediately afterwards, this guy quickly explained:
"Mr. Sean, this calligraphy album is probably not authentic, but it has some age."
"This calligraphy album is said to have come from a Taiwanese businessman. It took several twists and turns before it came into my hands."
"After I got this calligraphy album, I asked someone to authenticate it and compared it with Wen Zhengming's "Returning Letters" collected by the Forbidden City in China."
"After identification, it is basically certain that this is an imitation by someone from the Ming Dynasty. It is less interesting than Wen Zhengming's original work."
"I see, I thought I was dazzled."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
As he spoke, he opened the calligraphy album and began to appreciate it with interest.
What then appeared in front of him was a small regular calligraphy work.
The calligraphy on the post is gentle, elegant, rigorous and vivid.
Although it is not broad and majestic, it has the elegance of Jin and Tang calligraphy, and it exudes a gentle and elegant atmosphere.
Compared with Wen Zhengming's "Returning Letters" collected by the National Palace Museum, although the calligraphy of the two is highly similar, there are indeed some differences.
To be more precise, the original works in the Forbidden City are more stable, but this calligraphy album shows a bit of vigor.
On this calligraphy album, there is not only Wen Zhengming’s seal, but also the inscriptions and seals of some literati.
The only pity is that none of these literati are too famous.
Looking at this calligraphy album, Xiao Ran couldn't help but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Then, a disdainful smile flashed in his eyes.
"If you really agree, then the wild boar can't eat fine chaff!"
"This is obviously a work written by Wen Zhengming when he was in his prime, but it has been identified as a fake by you idiots."
"The painting "Returning Speech" collected by the Forbidden City was written by Wen Zhengming when he was 82 years old. It is his masterpiece."
"Compared with that work, this "Message on Returning" is less interesting, but it is undoubtedly a top-notch work of art! It is worth a lot of money."
Although Xiao Ran identified the authenticity of this calligraphy album, he remained silent.
After flipping through the pages of the album, he placed it back on the museum shelf.
Then, he looked at another painting and calligraphy work next to him.
After about fifteen minutes, he finally finished looking at the many antique artworks on display.
Immediately afterwards, he looked at Aida Majo and said with a smile:
"Boss Aida, the things in your antique store are really good. I have taken a liking to some of them and am ready to buy them."
"Next, I will pick out these things and shoot them. You give me a total price. If the price is right, then it can be traded."
Following his words, all the Japanese present were stunned.
"Ah! If you want to shoot this guy, how can we identify it? Which treasure do you have your eye on?"
Hasegawa and the others secretly complained a few words in annoyance, but there was nothing they could do.
Aida Zhenrang quickly recalled what Xiao Ran had seen just now.
It's a pity that he didn't find anything suspicious!
"Damn, what kind of treasure does this bastard have his eye on? So damn cunning!"
Aida really complained to himself in annoyance.
Then, he nodded helplessly.
"No problem, Mr. Sean, you can choose the baby you like, and then we will discuss the deal."
"Okay, then I'm welcome."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, and then began to sweep.
Wen Zhengming's "Come Back and Come Back"
