Mr. Ju had classes at school in the morning. Ma Xiaoguang sat in the living room for a while and she just came back.
When he saw Ma Xiaoguang, Mr. Ju quickly greeted him and asked Ma Xiaoguang to go to the study to talk.
Everything in the study is still the same, but there are some newly purchased books and antiques.
"Sir, what do you think of classmate Zhou Zihan's case?" Ma Xiaoguang asked.
"Mr. Zhou must have been wrongly accused. I don't believe he would kill anyone." Mr. Ju said.
"Oh? I hope sir can give me some advice." Ma Xiaoguang looked at him sincerely.
"Mr. Zhou is a sentimental person who is obsessed with literature. He would not do such a violent thing." Mr. Ju gave his own judgment.
"The police station is all about evidence, not character." Ma Xiaoguang said with a smile.
"He is a good student and does not deserve this disaster. Mr. Tachibana muttered."
Seeing that his husband was so sad, Ma Xiaoguang couldn't say bad things about Zhou Zihan anymore. Besides, he had no enmity with Zhou Zihan and was pretending to be a classmate. It was hard to pour cold water on him, otherwise his husband would have opinions about him.
"I'm here this time because of classmate Zhou's affairs. I don't believe that a weak scholar like him can do such a thing. It's useless for us to just add to our sorrow now. The top priority is to find evidence." Ma Xiaoguang said solemnly. Mr. Orange said.
"Ah, Mr. Ma is such an upright man." Mr. Orange sighed.
"Thank you, sir. Although classmate Zhou and I only know each other once, it is the duty of classmates to care for each other..."
Ma Xiaoguang looked around the study while talking to Mr. Ju.
As he was looking at it, a small box caught his attention. Seeing that Ma Xiaoguang was a little interested in the box, Mr. Ju also wanted to change the topic. It was a bit bad to always discuss murder cases.
"This is from the Han Dynasty..." Mr. Ju opened the box and nodded to Ma Xiaoguang to signal him to come and take care of it.
Ma Xiaoguang picked it up and took a look. It was indeed a typical Han jade. It was carved with the typical "Han Badao" technique. It was simple and elegant. Mr. Ju didn't look at it this time. It was real, but...
Thinking of this "but", Ma Xiaoguang had an idea.
"Sir, this thing is correct. The jade pig grip of the Han Dynasty was something that only nobles had the right to own in the past, but..."
"But what? This thing belongs to Mr. Matsumura. I have seen it with many people. It cannot be fake." Mr. Tachibana said with certainty.
Hearing this, Ma Xiaoguang became more convinced and said with a mysterious smile: "This jade pig grip is undoubtedly authentic. The problem is that there should be another one..."
"What? Is there another Jade Pig Holder?" Mr. Orange asked with his beautiful eyes wide open.
"This Western Han Dynasty jade pig handle is a kind of Han handle. It is mainly used for burials. The owner of the tomb has one in each hand, usually a pair. It is a symbol of wealth." Ma Xiaoguang said seriously.
"How to find the other one?" Mr. Ju asked quickly after listening to Ma Xiaoguang's explanation.
"Well, I'll do my best and try to help you find it," Ma Xiaoguang said thoughtfully.
When Mr. Orange heard this, he asked me for help again and again.
After chatting with Mr. Ju for a while, Ma Xiaoguang hurriedly left Mr. Ju's house.
This jade pig grip is from Matsumura - I think this box looks familiar, it is in the photo, and the box looks even more familiar, it belongs to Boyaxuan.
Ma Xiaoguang was thinking as he hurried on, and soon arrived at Boyaxuan.
Asking Agui to look at the store, he quickly took shopkeeper Luo and went to the back room to find Brother Guishou who was working.
"Do you know there is a Jade Pig Holder in Songcun?" Ma Xiaoguang asked directly without any foreshadowing.
"..."
"I just know it."
Commander Ma looked at the two brothers who stared at each other silently and asked.
Shopkeeper Luo swallowed his saliva and said aloud: "There is another jade pig grip, but I didn't want to take advantage of Songcun..."
"The item in question is not in Hangzhou now. I have to pick it up. It will take ten months to get back and forth." Brother Guishou muttered again.
"This is easy to handle. Brother Guishou, take action and do something." Chief Ma said nonchalantly.
When Shopkeeper Luo and Brother Guishou heard this, they stared at each other again. Why would they want to do something like this? Not pancakes.
"This is an order!" Commander Ma said seriously.
Three days later, Chief Ma and Brother Guishou appeared on Shihan Road.
Brother Guishou anxiously held a wooden box. Commander Ma ordered that if there are difficulties, they must do it. If there are no difficulties, they must do it even if there are difficulties. If they can't do it, let them go to the Leifeng Pagoda to talk about life with the White Snake.
So Brother Guishou tried his best to get this other jade pig and hold it out.
Matsumura came back from Shanghai yesterday, and he also came back with Shibahara, but Shibahara did not show up at the consulate. Shibahara came to take over as the head of intelligence in Hangzhou, not the consul, while Matsumura held two positions.
"Ah, Ma Sang, it's been a long time. I'm sorry about what happened last time!" Matsumura was still so polite.
"It doesn't matter, my brother has asked someone to carry the message... The two brothers have broken bones and connected tendons." Classmate Ma also said solemnly.
"Hangcheng is really a good place. I like it here very much." Matsumura said with emotion.
"Mr. Matsumura, Ma Jun found another Jade Pig Holder..." Mr. Tachibana specifically explained.
"Oh, that's great... Masang, Sun Sang, Mr. Tachibana, please." Matsumura quickly invited the three guests in.
In the study, Matsumura Kurao asked his servants to make tea for the three guests.
After everything was arranged, he quickly put on his white gloves, took out a magnifying glass, took out the jade pig grip Brother Guishou brought and placed it on the coffee table to look at it carefully...
After looking at it for a long time, he took down another box from the bookcase, took out the two jade pig holders, put them together solemnly, and started looking again.
After a long time, Matsumura gently put down the magnifying glass and took off his gloves.
"Sun Sang, these jade pigs are indeed a pair. I wonder if you would like to transfer them?" Matsumura asked, but there was not much pleading in his tone, but more of a command.
"Of course we are willing to send this thing over, but what about the price?" Brother Guishou said weakly.
"Oh, the price is easy to talk about, three thousand yuan." Matsumura said, his tone unquestionable.
"Your Excellency Matsumura, these things are worth a lot of money as a pair..." Brother Guishou said.
"Sun Sang, if you take this thing apart, it won't be worth a thousand yuan." Matsumura sneered.
"This... okay, I want the ocean. By the way, this thing is too heavy to handle. Japanese yen is fine, but French currency is not required." Brother Guishou finally gritted his teeth and said.
"Okay, please tell me, Sun Sang, I won't convert it according to the exchange rate, it's only 3,000 yen." Matsumura said.
Although Matsumura said this, his butt seemed to be glued to the sofa and did not move at all.
"Your Excellency Songcun got what he wanted, and Mr. Sun concluded the deal. It's all a happy event. We've got the job done, so we won't bother you anymore." Ma Xiaoguang stood up and said when he saw the deal was concluded.
"Ma Sang, what do you mean by this? We Japanese are the most particular about etiquette, and you are all my respected guests." Matsumura said quickly.
"Oh, in this case, Mr. Matsumura is busy with business in the study first... How about we go to the reception room and wait?" Ma Xiaoguang said to Brother Guishou and Mr. Orange.
"Oh, yes, why did I forget this, please forgive me." Brother Guishou quickly stood up and apologized.
"I'm sorry!" Matsumura Zangxiong heard this and stood up and bowed.
Ma Xiaoguang and Mr. Ju also stood up and returned the salute. When bowing, Ma Xiaoguang kept complaining in his heart that it was a good habit for Japanese people to pay attention to etiquette, but it was a waste of money.
Ma Xiaoguang and Mr. Ju were polite to Matsumura again, and then took Brother Guishou to the reception room.
After a while, Matsumura brought 3,000 yen. Brother Guishou was not like Boss Ma. He was still very rigorous. He counted the bills carefully and put them away carefully.
"Congratulations to your Excellency for getting another good thing." Ma Xiaoguang stood up and bowed again.
Matsumura was obviously very happy and thanked the three guests again.
"By the way, Mr. Matsumura, I have a heartfelt request." Ma Xiaoguang said with some embarrassment.
"Mr. Ma is my lucky star, but there's no harm in talking about it."
"Mr. Matsumura also knows about the ancient painting incident last time. My brother is quite dissatisfied with me. Although we have reconciled recently, there is still a grudge. I have an unkind request. Can Mr. Matsumura give me some Japanese artwork... I can pay for it!" Student Ma said with a blushing face.
"Oh? Brother Zun is interested in the culture of the Japanese Empire?" Matsumura asked curiously.
"Oh, my sister-in-law likes her. She is the head of the family." Classmate Ma's face turned redder, like a little daughter-in-law.
Both Mr. Tachibana and Matsumura gave Mr. Ma a meaningful look.
"Haha, okay, Masang, our friendship is not about money, just wait a moment." Matsumura Zangxiong said proudly.
After saying that, Matsumura Kurao turned around and went to the study again.
…………
The three guests waited in the reception room for a while, but Matsumura Kurao was nowhere to be seen.
It was approaching noon, and the consulate had no intention of leaving any food.
"Sir, if Mr. Matsumura is in trouble, Brother Sun and I will take our leave..." Classmate Ma said to Mr. Orange.
Brother Guishou was also a little impatient with waiting. He felt restless as if there were thorns on his butt.
Mr. Orange, who was usually calm, couldn't bear his temper anymore. He stood up and prepared to go out to ask people at the consulate.
"Sir, don't bother. Your Excellency Matsumura must have something important to do. Let's leave first. The artwork can be found elsewhere." Classmate Ma advised.
After that, the three of them got up and left the reception room, only to see Saburo Noma, the secretary of the consulate. Noma had a strange look on his face. When he saw the three guests leaving, he bowed and apologized repeatedly.
Classmate Ma didn't get the gift from Consul Matsumura, so he asked Brother Guishou for help to find another way.
As a noble of the Neon Kingdom, Mr. Orange had many such items in her home, but she, who was always enthusiastic, remained silent for some reason.
The three of them parted at the entrance of the consulate.
Since Mr. Orange had a car, he quickly left the consulate. The two men couldn't rush while looking for something, so they hailed two rickshaws and walked leisurely in the other direction.
Not long after the three people left the consulate, a group of people came to the door of the Japanese consulate.
“Oppose North China’s autonomy!”
"Down with Japanese imperialism!"
"Stop the civil war!"
…
This group of people, mainly students, gathered in front of the consulate, chanting slogans and holding various banners.
The originally quiet and elegant entrance of the consulate became extremely noisy. After a while, the crowd became angry and loud, and things flew into the consulate courtyard from time to time.
Recently, the issue of "North China Autonomy" has been making a lot of noise. The students were originally enthusiastic, but when they heard this, they exploded...
As the students shouted, more and more people gathered, and the big iron door of the consulate was banged loudly. The originally heavy iron door seemed to have become weak.
Looking at this formation, Saburo Noma was sweating profusely and as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Why did Consul Matsumura disappear at this critical moment?
In fact, it cannot be said that it is gone, but that it cannot come out, or that it cannot come out for the time being...
