When Wallace heard that Chu Qianqian said that he had offended someone, he couldn't help but fell silent.
Even though I agreed with what Chu Xiangqian said, there were some things that it was impossible to tell Chu Xiangqian clearly.
But Chu Xiangqian cursed a few words in his heart, secretly thinking that Wallace was really lucky.
The front of the car was smashed, but it was only injured.
As for whether this matter would doubt him, Chu Xiangqian was not worried at all.
Although Wallace just said that after inspection by the people from the physical evidence department, they determined that someone had tampered with the brake line.
But unless someone sees this, who would suspect a bird?
Not to mention that Wallace has been in the police station for so many years. If anyone really needs to be suspected, there are too many people who can be suspected.
Who knows who sneaked into the police station that night and did the trick.
Maybe it was even someone in the police station who took the other party's money and did it.
It was not that Wallace had ever doubted Chu Xiangqian. After all, he had just entered the police station last night, and something happened to him the next day.
But after carefully questioning the police officers on duty last night, at least five of them said that Chu Xiangqian had never left the police station except for a trip to the bathroom.
Never even went downstairs.
He was immediately ruled out as a suspect.
And Wallace thought for several hours, there must be a motive for this murder.
There is no conflict of interest between him and Chu Xiangqian at all. They didn't know each other before, so there was no possibility of enmity.
Chu Xiangqian had no reason to want his own life.
Thinking about it carefully, Wallace gritted his teeth and decided to return to London in the near future, accompanied by his fiancée's family, to talk to people there.
At least we must first determine who is the enemy and who is the friend.
"Chu, I have to go back to London. Can you come with me?"
Chu Xiangqian was not willing to go anywhere. He even thought that this ghost guy had run away now, so how could he cause trouble for him?
How could he be driven to a dead end little by little and completely surrender to his side?
Even if he won't come over to him, he still has to be used by himself.
Then something clicked in his heart, "I follow you. At most, I can only protect you so that no one can harm you up close. But if the other party tricks you on the plane or snipers you from a distance, it will be useless even if ten of me are by your side."
Wallace's face darkened, he was not sure whether the other party would be so rampant, but he didn't dare to risk his own life.
At the same time, he also understood in his heart that Chu Xiangqian was not willing to risk following him.
Chu Xiangqian continued, "I have business dealings with Norton of the Mountbatten family, and there will be a plane flying from Hampton to Hong Kong tonight or tomorrow morning.
If you want to go back to London and solve your problems, the best way is to get on that plane. "
Wallace's eyes lit up. No one would have time to tamper with this plane, or even know that he would be on that plane.
Besides, the influence of the Mountbatten family is much stronger than that of his fiancee's family.
"What time will we land?"
Chu shook his head forward, “I also know this from Chief Superintendent Charles, and it’s better for you.
We just had to wait for Charles to call me and say the plane had landed.
Immediately drive to the airport, get on the plane and leave. "
Wallace nodded hurriedly and even stood up and walked around excitedly.
Chu Qianqian didn't have time to stay up late with him, so he simply lay on the sofa and closed his eyes to sleep.
When Wallace saw this, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, but in the end he was still grateful to Chu Qianqian.
As for how long this gratitude can last, only God knows.
At around 7 o'clock the next day, Wallace woke Chu Qianqian and said, "Chu, in half an hour, Chief Superintendent Charles will come to work. How about we go have breakfast and wait at his place?"
Chu Qianqian nodded indifferently.
At 8:30 in the morning, Charles the ghost finally appeared outside his office.
As soon as he saw Chu Qianqian, he immediately said, "Chu, I asked people to look for you all morning, but I didn't expect you to be here with me."
Chu Xiangqian and Wallace immediately knew that the plane had arrived at Hong Kong Island.
"Let's go, take your car to the airport."
Wallace's eyes lit up. Charles had just arrived at the police station in a car, which meant that his car must be safe.
After getting into the car, Chu Qianqian sat directly in the passenger seat.
Then he turned around and said to Wallace, "It's up to you and Charles to explain your matter."
Wallace nodded gratefully, and the two of them leaned very close and whispered for a while, and quickly reached a deal.
When we arrived at the airport, we drove directly outside the hangar and saw a medium-sized twin-propeller aircraft parked outside the hangar.
Then Norton's bodyguard stepped off the plane, waved to Chu, and when he got closer, he wanted to give him a hug.
He was directly blocked by Chu and could only shake hands and say hello.
The two got on the plane, and Chu Qianqian saw two boxes at a glance.
Suppressing his excitement, he first told some selective things about Wallace. The bodyguard frowned before nodding and said, "No problem, after all, I have to go back to Hampton after the things are delivered to you.
Also, the old Jazz already knew about the White Tiger and agreed to the price of 300,000 pounds.
Moreover, more Chinese antiques and Picasso oil paintings are already being prepared. If we hurry, they may be shipped within half a month. "
Chu Xiangqian felt a little embarrassed. He could earn 300,000 pounds by selling a white tiger, so it was no problem.
But I haven't decided yet whether to go to the mainland or Southeast Asia to cover up the origin of the white tiger.
After thinking about it, I finally decided to go back to the mainland first.
"How much are the next batch of antiques and paintings worth?"
"Sorry, it should only be about 120,000 pounds." After the bodyguard finished speaking, he was worried that Chu Xiangqian would overthink it and continued to explain, "There are indeed many Chinese antiques in Europe and the United States.
But the old Sir's family did not collect much at that time, and had never even been to East Asia. Moreover, although the value of Picasso's oil paintings is not high, many people collect them.
If it hadn't been for good luck, a couple had money problems after spending US$256,000 to acquire a set of 15 oil paintings the year before last.
We were also unable to raise 10 oil paintings worth US$160,000, or £40,000, in a short period of time. "
Chu Qianqian's heart was moved, and his heart beat rapidly when he suddenly thought of something.
If your guess is correct, in the future a Picasso oil painting will be sold for a record price of 179 million, and it will be one of a set of 15 paintings.
If it was as I guessed, if I kept those ten oil paintings, I would be able to take advantage of European and American people in the future.
Even if you take out one, you can easily exchange it for many high-quality antiques from the Celestial Dynasty.
Just bringing back the antiques is enough to gain recognition from the superiors and the favor of the people.
And 180,000 pounds is equal to 2.88 million Hong Kong dollars.
This money is actually enough to build a movie theater by myself.
The Fu family originally planned to wait and see before deciding to partner up to open a cinema in Nanyang.
On Hong Kong Island, whether it is buying land or buying ready-made floors to build a cinema, it cannot be done in a month or two.
If you invest one or two million in the early stage, you will have enough time to raise the rest.
Looking at the bodyguard, he nodded and said, "Okay, but I hope that the next time we cooperate, antiques and oil paintings will make up the majority."
"No problem. With this cooperation, we will carefully inquire about and collect some Chinese antiques and your favorite oil paintings in the future."
Chu Xiangqian then showed a smile, extended his hand to shake the other person's hand, and said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
The bodyguard hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Happy cooperation, SIR."
Chu Xiangqian thought that the antiques shipped by air this time were only worth 20,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Unexpectedly, when Norton's bodyguard opened the two boxes, one box was indeed full of porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and gold and silver utensils.
There are even two katana swords.
Chu looked forward and looked at bodyguard Ward.
Ward shrugged, "The old Sir thinks you might like these two weapons. I heard that the Old Sir took them from the hands of two general-level commanders when he accepted the surrender of the island nation's army."
Chu Xiangqian was overjoyed and reached for a samurai sword. The sound of +11 gold coupons suddenly came to mind.
After confirming that the knife was real, he held the handle in his backhand and slowly pulled it out.
Suddenly it felt cold and shining, and you could tell at a glance that it was very well maintained.
What surprised Chu Xiangqian the most was that there were chrysanthemum patterns on the blade, which meant that the blade was most likely given by the Japanese king.
It’s just that the second blade is not engraved with a chrysanthemum pattern.
Moreover, the gold coupon actually added 32 points, which means that this knife must be hundreds of years old.
Ward pointed to the second knife and said, "SIR, the old Sir asked someone. This is the diamond pattern family emblem of the Takeda family. It should have been taken from someone else by the surrendering general."
Chu nodded forward. The surname Takeda has declined in the island country, but it is impossible to become a general.
In this way, the value of this knife may be surprisingly high in the future.
And the more expensive it is, the more islanders will want to buy it back.
When the time comes, I will display this knife and make the people of the island uncomfortable watching it.
Putting away the knife, Chu Qianqian said with a smile, "Thank you, Sir, for me. If I have the chance, I will give you a suitable gift in return."
Ward smiled and nodded. Although he was not sure whether Chu Qianqian could really get a gift that would make Mountbatten like it, he was looking forward to it.
After saying thank you, Norton took the initiative to open the second box.
He saw that there were 10 tightly packaged pictures inside. After a quick guess, Chu Xiangqian knew they must be oil paintings.
Suppressing his excitement, he listened to Ward say, "Old Sir, I heard about the white tiger skin, and I hope that I can exchange these 10 oil paintings for the white tiger skin you hold."
Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but frown. He had just ignored that the total value of his transaction with Norton was not 300,000 pounds, but 340,000 pounds.
In other words, after deducting the 120,000 pounds of Chinese antiques and oil paintings, the cash he can get is 220,000 pounds.
Ward frowned forward, guessing that he had come to his senses.
I could only explain apologetically, "SIR, as I just said, time is too tight. It is difficult for us to raise 340,000 pounds of Chinese antiques and oil paintings in such a short period of time."
Chu Xiangqian doesn't believe this nonsense at all now. It is most likely that Mountbatten himself is unwilling to produce high-quality products and treasures.
Or find someone else to buy it, and let people know about the exchange of antiques for white tiger skins and white tigers.
As for oil paintings, just like Chu Xiangqian would not trade antiques from China with foreigners, the English did not want good things from Europe to flow to other countries.
Moreover, in the eyes of Europeans and Americans, oil paintings are collectibles with great appreciation potential.
Only things they don't like now will be traded.
Although Picasso is famous now, he is not from England. Secondly, there are not many people who can accept his style these days.
More importantly, he is still alive and has a huge number of oil paintings and 20,000 prints. It is unknown how many more works he can create in the future.
Chu Qianqian thought for a moment, stopped worrying about the matter, and said to Ward, "Give me a car, and I'll go back and get the white tiger skin."
Ward nodded hurriedly, got off the plane and said hello a few times, and soon a pickup truck appeared in front of Chu Qianqian.
Moreover, the two wooden boxes were also lifted off the plane, placed in a leather truck compartment piled with many straw mats, and carefully fixed with ropes.
Chu Xiangqian was quite satisfied with Ward's attitude, "Let's go back with me and check the white tiger skin face to face."
Ward hurriedly took the initiative to sit in the driver's seat of the pickup truck. Chu greeted Charles and Wallace before getting in the car and left.
When he arrived at the dry goods store, Chu Xiangqian got on the side of the truck and casually tested the weight of the wooden box. Then he jumped out of the car, pulled the wooden box over, put it on his shoulders and walked inside.
Ward's pupils expanded and contracted a few times.
The heaviest of the two boxes was the oil painting box, which weighed at least seventy or eighty kilograms, but in front of Chu Qianqian, it weighed as easily as a dozen kilograms.
It seems that Master Chu is very powerful.
After carrying both boxes into the living room on the second floor, Chu Xiangqian pretended to get the white tiger skin, went up to the third floor, and took out the white tiger skin from the warehouse in Novice Village.
Wharton was overjoyed. He checked it carefully and made sure it was the one he saw last time. Then he felt relieved.
After wrapping the things, Wharton smiled brightly and said, "No problem, SIR."
Chu nodded forward, not having enough time to talk to Ward after seeing him off.
He hurried up to the second floor and started checking the antiques and paintings in the two boxes one by one.
The reminder sound of increasing gold coupons kept coming to my mind.
Chu Xiangqian couldn't understand the 10 oil paintings, but the increase in gold coupons by 900 points made him understand that the increase in gold coupons was not only related to the dynasty and era.
The more important thing should be to look at the future value, that is, how much it is worth.
And it seems that not all of these ten oil paintings are worth one to two hundred million US dollars.
But it makes sense to think about it. The oil painting that will be auctioned for US$179 million in the future is said to be the most complete of the 15 oil paintings in the set.
Otherwise, the couple who bought these 15 oil paintings a few years ago would not sell these ten oil paintings now.
And keep the other 5 pictures.
Since you want to withdraw funds, of course you should sell the ones with the lowest value and keep the best ones for yourself.
As for the antiques from the Celestial Dynasty, there are 21 pieces of porcelain, all from the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
There are actually 5 pieces of blue and white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty, and the gold coupon has increased by 640 points.
Chu Xiangqian secretly thought that this was considered a leak, and it was a big leak.
As I looked at each piece of porcelain, my heart became more and more unbearably excited.
Although these porcelains are not valuable now, in the future each piece will be worth tens of millions or even over 100 million.
Even if it were placed in a commissioned store in Beijing at this time, the price would be two to three hundred.
What was left were 20 calligraphy and paintings. Chu Xiangqian didn't look at them carefully, but stroked them one by one, thinking about the sound of the golden coupon in his mind.
590 points were added before and after, plus 640 points for the porcelain, 900 points for the oil painting, and 43 points for the saber.
This is equivalent to a one-time increase of 2173 points.
After putting all the antiques and oil paintings into the warehouse in Novice Village.
The aperture outside the village suddenly expanded by 21.73 meters.
To the west and north of the village, several 20- to 30-meter-high hills suddenly rose up.
Unfortunately, the aperture stopped after expanding seven or eight meters on the mountain.
Chu ran forward and circled around. On the hills of Ximen, he faintly heard the roar of a bear.
From the looks of it, it won't be long before we can hunt bears.
After thinking about it, I took out two pheasants and two big fish from the warehouse and they were still on the hills.
The smell of blood indeed attracted the roaring bear.
Chu Qianqian, who was hiding twenty meters away, picked up the M1 Garand rifle and shot the blind man who had discovered him.
In an instant, a ball of blood burst out from the black bear's head, and a reminder of +300 experience sounded in his mind.
Chu Xiangqian was overjoyed. The amount of experience he could earn in a day had also increased from 1,350 to 1,650.
Collect the black bear's body and walk down the hills to the north of the village.
The woods over there now look a bit like woods.
After searching carefully, I found a peach tree and a cherry tree again.
After a gathering technique, 10 kilograms of peaches and 10 kilograms of cherries appeared in the storage compartment.
