In the early morning, the warm sunlight slowly moved and shone on the messy bed. Cao Gui slowly opened his eyes with a feeling in his heart.
"Hmm... Why is this woman sleeping in such a wild posture..." Cao Gui had a black line on his head and gently took off the leg that was around his waist.
Beside her, Beth was lying on the bed, resting on Cao Gui's arm. Beth was kicked to the other side by her.
"I'm still sleeping on my stomach..." Cao Gui rolled his eyes. His breasts were originally small, what if they were not pressed anymore?
Cao Gui gently turned her around, but as soon as he did so, Bess quickly woke up.
"Cao, what's wrong?" Beth rubbed her eyes and asked in confusion.
"never mind."
"Oh...ah~~" Beth yawned and asked doubtfully: "Are you going back now?"
"There's no rush." Cao Gui shrugged: "Gwen is going to study lizard-man cells, there's no rush."
"No wonder you have time to spend time with me." Bess rolled his eyes and complained. Then, he suddenly straightened up his body, his eyes widened, as if he had thought of something, and he immediately stood up and started to get dressed.
"What's wrong?"
"Honey, I found something good yesterday." Beth smiled, then got out of bed and rummaged around.
"What?" Cao Gui asked in confusion. Could it be a new style of stockings?
"Na na na, this is it." Beth took out a jade urn from a gift box... The jade jar is slightly yellow in color, warm and soft, a bit like Hetian jade. It seems that the jade is of good quality.
Cao Gui had no research and could only make a rough idea, but... this thing was clearly from ancient Egypt.
The cover of this jade urn is a jade statue with the head of a wolf and the body of a wolf.
"What is this?" Cao Gui looked left and right. The jar was one piece and could not be opened. There was no gap and it could not be opened.
"Jade products." Beth smiled and said:
"I heard that people in the Celestial Dynasty like jade very much. In the history of your five thousand years of civilization, the culture of jade has penetrated everything. From ancient times to the present, jade has been the highest-end luxury product and decoration."
"Uh... you are right." Cao Gui took the jade urn from her hand and looked at it again to confirm its origin:
"But isn't this thing from ancient Egypt?"
"They are all jade." Bess looked at Cao Gui and was confused. Are the same things in these two places different?
Cao Gui: "???"
It's jade, yes, but this jade comes from ancient Egypt.
"..."
"..."
The two of them stared at each other and didn't speak for a long time, and the air felt inexplicably awkward.
"Ahem, it's okay." Cao Gui tipped the jade urn in his hand: "Although it's ancient Egypt, it's quite beautiful."
"Uh... dear, you don't like it?" Beth frowned slightly, feeling that she had been cheated, not by Cao Gui, but by the person who sold her things.
"That's not true." Cao Gui shook his head, held her in his arms, and said seriously:
"Jade is too complicated. Most people can't tell the difference between good and bad. China really likes jade, but usually, many of them are fake jade, so we rarely buy jade actively. We usually buy jade from
Jade passed down from the elders."
"So...that's it." Beth seemed to understand.
"Where did this thing come from?" Cao Gui put his chin on her shoulder and kept holding the jade urn in his hand. Although Cao Gui was a scumbag, this jade felt really good and was worth collecting.
"Bought it from an explorer." Beth rubbed Cao Gui's face and said softly.
"Explorer?" Cao Gui frowned. This so-called explorer can generally be translated as cultural relic dealers, tomb robbers, and robbers.
Too many things in Dunhuang were stolen by these so-called explorers, and they have not yet been able to find them home.
"Yeah, an explorer dressed as a western cowboy." Beth pointed her chin with her index finger, recalling a little:
"He was dirty, covered in yellow sand, and he had several revolvers on him. I was visiting Chinatown with Whitney and bumped into him. I saw something good, so I bought it."
"Clothed in yellow sand? Western cowboy? And carrying a revolver?" Cao Gui frowned slightly, feeling uneasy for no reason.
"Yeah, but he seemed to be arrested by the NYPD later." Beth nodded and said:
"He brought four revolvers alone and was disarmed by the patrol. Fortunately, he was white..."
After hearing this, Cao Gui picked up the phone and called Harry:
"Harry, help me check the NYPD yesterday..."
"Around eleven o'clock in the morning." Bess bit Cao Gui's ear and whispered.
"A white man with a gun was arrested in Chinatown at 11 o'clock in the morning. Yes...he carried four pistols alone...good."
"Cao, is there something wrong with that person?" Beth asked doubtfully, feeling that there was something wrong with Cao Gui's reaction.
"That's not true. I'm just a little curious about where I found this thing."
Cao Gui responded. He didn't know what to say. He couldn't say that the gift Bess bought him made him feel uneasy, right?
Not long after, there was a ding on the phone, and Harry quickly sent the message back.
Seeing this, Beth quickly moved her head over. She was also very curious, but soon, her expression suddenly changed wildly, as if she had seen something incredible.
Cao Gui also had a solemn expression on his face. The man was indeed arrested by the NYPD, but Beth spent 100,000 dollars to buy this jade urn. After paying the money, the NYPD quickly released him, and by the way, he was also allowed to possess a gun.
certificate.
After this person came out of the NYPD, he only had 60,000 dollars left of his 100,000 dollars. He didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't care about it. He happily took the money and entered a luxury hotel.
According to the consumption records sent by Harry, this man ordered all the delicious and fun things in the hotel, and even ordered three Korean semi-permanent dishes.
But these are not the point. The point is: he is dead!
Not only was he dead, but the three Korean-style semi-permanent men were also dead. Their death was extremely miserable, with their whole bodies dried up and resembling a skeleton. Not only that, their skin was skinned off alive.
All that was left of the corpse was white, dry and hard protein fibers. No one believed it was meat.
The three Korean semi-permanent ones were similar to him, with all the water draining from their bodies. The difference was that the skin of the three of them was still there and had not been peeled off like that person.
The NYPD has launched an investigation. This is the most central and prosperous building in New York. Such a serious matter cannot be taken lightly.
According to police investigation records, they found six bullets of .45 ACP bullets in the room, which were fired from the man's revolver, indicating that he had resisted.
But the problem is that there are no traces of human tissue on the bullet, and no one is seen entering his room on the surveillance video.
Seeing this, Cao Gui and Bess looked solemn. It was obvious that the jade urn in their hands was not a good thing.
"Cao, what should we do now?" Beth asked worriedly.
Cao Gui flipped through his phone and put a photo of an old man wearing a doctor's suit and hat in front of her: "Let's go find him!"
"The dead man was a veteran who was hired by this doctor to go abroad. They returned to New York together two days ago."
"Okay... Huh? How do you know about this?"
"In the information sent by Harry, it seems that he not only searched the NYPD database, but also the Customs database."
