That night, according to Guo Meng's rules, no one could leave alone.
Fortunately, Guo Meng was rich and booked a hotel near the Public Security Bureau so that everyone could have a place to stay and rest.
Lying on the bed in the hotel, Bai Mo was madly complaining about the most censorious Lu Yang in his heart. Compared with Guo Meng, Lu Yang's picking and searching look was really despicable.
The fake transaction at night gave the police a big harvest.
After Zeng Hao's investigation, it emerged that Han Lu was not the buyer, but a third party responsible for introducing the sale and taking commissions from it.
There is a general name for this type of people - brokers.
It's a pity that Han Lu's social relations are complicated and he can't identify the buyer he introduced in a short time.
But what made Bai Mo more concerned was another gain. Guo Meng's people followed the fake buyer out of Meidonghao and came to a hotel in Xiacheng District. The fake buyer actually threw his backpack in a trash can.
Bai Mo saw the ink painting as he wished. In the painting was a lady wearing gorgeous ancient clothes.
From the text description on the side, it can be determined that the beauty in ancient costume in the painting is a concubine, and it records her outing in the garden.
Bai Mo could tell at a glance that this painting was a copy, which also made him very excited. Since it was a copy, it naturally needed to refer to the original work, so this painting was the original appearance of the original work.
This is a portrait of a noble concubine in an ancient imperial palace, and it was made by a Tang Dynasty master. It is indeed priceless.
However, in Bai Mo's heart, he always felt that life should be more precious than these dead things.
The next morning, in an antique store in Xiacheng District.
An old man in Chinese tunic suit walked in with a cane. There were no customers in the store. The old man only saw a fat man making tea.
Arriving in front of the fat man, the old man sat down, and the other man placed a cup of hot tea in front of him.
"Li Gui?" the fat man asked.
Li Gui nodded slightly, but his face showed displeasure. The person in front of him was only thirty or forty years old. He was just a junior in the world. Being called by his first name by a junior made Li Gui feel offended.
"Where is your boss?" Li Gui asked in a deep voice, "I will only talk to your boss."
"My name is Zhao Kuang, and I can fully represent my boss." Zhao Kuang took a sip of hot tea and glanced at Li Gui casually, "Besides, doesn't Boss Li want to trade with others?"
Seeing that Li Gui had no intention of speaking, Zhao Kuang sneered, "Let me say it again, I can fully represent my boss, which means I can terminate the transaction between us immediately."
A cold light flashed through Li Gui's eyes. He forced out a smile, picked up the purple clay tea set and took a sip.
"It's just a little test, I want to see if there are any ghosts under my hands." Li Gui said, "Everyone on the road knows that no one believes in me."
Zhao Kuang just smiled faintly, looked at Li Gui and said, "Han Lu said you have something important to ask me?"
Li Gui paused for a moment, and couldn't help but think highly of Zhao Kuang. He had seen countless buyers who either became furious after hearing the test, or asked for the results of the test, but the fat man in front of him didn't seem to care at all.
"The person you are looking for is a policeman." Li Gui stared into Zhao Kuang's eyes and said slowly.
Zhao Kuang chuckled lightly, picked up the tea set and took another sip of tea.
"He is the best painter in Meihai City. I only believe in his vision." Zhao Kuang said.
"But he is a policeman. Maybe the police are already spying on me. Once you contact that person, they will naturally realize the problem." Li Gui's heart was full of confusion. He did not expect that Zhao Kuang knew that the person was a policeman, and Nor was he surprised by Li Gui's discovery.
"Hahaha!" Zhao Kuang motioned to Li Gui to drink tea, "With your personality, if you notice that the police are secretly watching you, you are no longer in Meihai City. Besides, after the big drama last night, you should have ruled it out. The police are probably watching you.”
Li Gui frowned. From Zhao Kuang's words, he could tell that Zhao Kuang knew everything that happened last night, "Were you there last night?"
Zhao Kuang nodded, and the smile on his face became stronger, "It's wonderful!"
The room fell silent.
Looking at the indifferent Zhao Kuang, Li Gui felt like he was being manipulated by the other party, but this also made him feel more at ease.
Last night, Zhao Kuang watched them secretly from the perspective of a bystander. Since even Zhao Kuang didn't notice the problem, their transaction must not have reached the ears of the police.
Picking up the tea set, Li Gui drank the fragrant green tea in one gulp, and then asked: "What if the policeman realizes the problem halfway?"
"He won't realize it." Zhao Kuang replied affirmatively.
A cold smile appeared on the fat man's face, "Besides, his role is only to help me distinguish the authenticity. Just kill him after using it, so he will not have the chance to testify against your people."
madman?
Li Gui's view of Zhao Kuang changed again. Although he had killed many people over the years and also killed undercover agents arranged by the police, he was always passive.
And what about Zhao Kuang? Deliberately asking a policeman to help inspect the goods and then killing him? Why isn't he a lunatic?
However, Li Gui likes to cooperate with this kind of lunatic. With Zhao Kuang around, they were already on the American island by the time the police found them.
"I'm not very satisfied with your trading location either." Without Bai Mo's question, Li Gui directed the topic elsewhere, "We are outsiders and our water quality is average. I feel uneasy about trading on a boat."
Zhao Kuang nodded indifferently, "Then you choose a trading location and I choose the route, okay?"
Li Gui's suspicion relapsed again, and Zhao Kuang gave him an extremely confident feeling. If it were normal, he would definitely cancel the transaction.
But this time, the price offered by Zhao Kuang was too high, and Li Gui couldn't refuse.
"Okay!" Li Gui made a decision in his mind. He wanted to go back and carefully screen the trading locations. "I will give you a reply within three days."
After saying that, Li Gui stood up and walked out the door.
After the store door closed again, Zhao Kuang withdrew his smile and said respectfully, "God, I'm sorry, I didn't expect Li Gui to find out the identity of police officer Bai Mo."
Looking from the side, there is a miniature earphone in Zhao Kuang's ear. This so-called "god" has been communicating with Zhao Kuang through the earphone.
Zhao Kuang was caught off guard when Li Gui mentioned that Bai Mo was a policeman. Fortunately, "God" reminded him in the earphones to stay calm and drink tea, and then guided him to say the words to kill Bai Mo.
"I can't blame you. I just acted as a pusher without much design. This kind of accident is inevitable." A man's voice came from the earphones, "That's fine, just think of it as a trial for Bai Mo." It’s more difficult.”
"But Bai Mo is only good at marksmanship. Li Gui and those two kids are very skilled. I'm worried that he will really die in the end." Zhao Kuang said cautiously.
"God" thought for a moment, and then said: "Then change the way you introduce Bai Mo into the situation, so that Bai Mo knows that what he wants to help you identify is the ancient painting they are tracing."
