The back door of the car opened, and Ka Xiu sat on it, folding his hands on his chest. His eyes were looking at Violet's back in the passenger seat intentionally or unintentionally. Of course, it was not because of her graceful figure and outstanding appearance, but because he could feel the murderous aura in her body.
This murderous aura is not directed at him, but is an aura that has formed naturally over the years. Ka Xiu's perception of mutation is very keen, so he can detect this hidden aura.
Obviously, this Violet is not Matthew's mistress or secretary, but a person similar to a bodyguard. According to Cardiff's guess, this woman should be related to the Ace of Spades...
The Dust Organization once assassinated Phil, but that time it failed because Ka Xiu was nearby. They obviously would not let it go, and most of the operations against Kangnan Company were still going on in the dark. This woman whose code name is Violet is probably a gangster.
The Peach A organization was sent to protect Ma Xiu, general manager of Kangnan Company...
The car started and soon drove into the spacious street.
The place they are going to is the Center Street Municipal Museum.
There were no accidents along the way, about ten minutes later.
Ka Xiu got out of the car and raised his hand to block the sun and took a look. It was a gray-white rectangular square. Surrounded by circular flower beds planted with flowers and grass, street lamps stood on the sides. In the center was a circular white stone fountain, with ceramic tiles shining in the sun.
White light flashes below. On the stone platform in the center of the fountain, there is also a five or six meter high bronze statue of the first mayor of Shirakawa City.
On the black bench next to it, from time to time citizens would sit here and chat in the sun, or feed the pigeons with crumbs of bread.
With two bangs, the car door closed.
Matthew and Violet also walked down from above.
One is handsome and elegant, the other is beautiful and delicate, they look like a pair. The card repair next to them looks more like a bodyguard.
"Let's go in and take a look."
As Matthew spoke, he took out a black invitation card from his arms. There was a circle of light gold wrapping around the edge of the invitation card.
As soon as the three of them took a step forward, a security guard in blue clothes walked over. Seeing the invitation in Matthew's hand, he hurriedly came over to greet him. After asking for his identity, he said that he would send his men to stand guard here to prevent Matthew's arrogance.
The car was hit.
Then he watched the three people leave with a respectful expression.
Obviously, this is not an antique exhibition at all, but an exchange meeting for the upper class. Even the museum security guards are flattering. I am afraid that the White Rose Company has benefited from such enthusiasm.
After walking through the white stone road and going around a few times, a square museum appeared in front of everyone. It was very tall and surrounded by large pieces of transparent glass. A blue carpet was laid out from the inside at the entrance.
go outside.
There were about a dozen or twenty security guards in blue uniforms walking around, some of them holding rubber sticks in their hands.
"Matthew?"
"Evel?"
"haven't seen you for a long time!"
"Yeah, long time no see!"
Near the gate, a young man in the same suit and tie came up to him. He also held a black invitation in his hand to attend the antique exhibition, and he seemed to be a friend of Matthew.
"Didn't you go to Donghai County with your father to do business? When did you come back?" Matthew was also a little happy.
"The rubber business is not easy to do over there. My father stayed there to manage the branch and asked me to go back to Beiliu County to handle the affairs of the head office. I have been so busy recently that I have a headache and I have no time to drink tea with you.
I just had time today to attend the White Rose Antiques Exhibition, and I didn't expect to meet you." Aiweier said with a smile.
"That's good, let's go together." Matthew smiled.
Obviously, the relationship between the two is not ordinary. They may not be just ordinary friends, but they are probably the kind of friends they have grown up with since childhood.
"Who are these two?"
Aiweier glanced at Violet and Card Xiu next to him.
"Oh, we are all friends, let's go to the antique exhibition together." Matthew introduced: "This is Violet, and this is Levi."
The four of them chatted at the door for three or four minutes, and then walked toward the city museum gate together. After checking the invitation, they walked into the venue along the passage without encountering any obstruction.
The interior of the museum is very spacious, and White Rose Antique Company has coordinated with the museum. The city museum temporarily lent the west exhibition hall to White Rose Company to hold a themed antique exhibition for a period of time, and White Rose Company had to pay a large sum of money.
But when people are rich, what stands out is their style.
Shirakawa City Museum has the best location, the largest area, and the most complete facilities. The brand White Rose Antiques Exhibition is naturally chosen here. If you choose a small place, you will lose face.
It's too shabby and even the upper class won't come.
"Hey, Mr. Matthew."
"Matthew is here?"
As soon as everyone entered the exhibition hall, some of the people already in the hall looked over. Kangnan Company is a big company in Shirakawa City, and the profits from the wine business are particularly amazing these days.
Naturally, Matthew's status will not be low.
He immediately showed a perfect smile and walked over elegantly. Aiweier and Violet followed suit.
Only a tall and tall Ka Xiu was left standing there.
Matthew had already told him that the White Rose Antique Show was a place for Matthew to make connections. Card Xiu could look around by himself for the time being, and when the antique show ended in the morning, Matthew would ask questions on his behalf.
Just ask the organizer.
After all, in principle, the products that are still on display cannot be sold for the time being, otherwise what will the subsequent upper class people see?
Slowly looking around the exhibition hall, the architectural layout of the city museum is indeed vast. The place where Kaxiu is standing now is a main hall, with marble columns supporting it up and down. On the gray-black floor, there are high-rise pillars at regular intervals.
counter.
Above the counter is a collection covered by a glass cover.
At a glance, there are at least hundreds of items in the main hall.
There are also many passages on the left and right, leading to themed side halls. For example, a living room is full of antiques such as oil paintings and landscape paintings, and it is also full of antiques such as porcelain bottles.
The collection brought by White Rose Antique Company is probably more than that of the Shirakawa City Museum. It is indeed a big company.
Ka Xiu quickly walked aside and walked along the edge of the counter. Ten meters ahead, a beautiful girl wearing a metal nameplate on her chest and a black dress was telling the people around her about the story of the items hidden inside the glass cover.
.
"Miss, is there an ancient currency exhibition hall here?"
"Sorry, sir, there is no special exhibition hall. The currency collection is placed in the same exhibition hall as the statue collection, landscape paintings and products. If you want to take a look, just go forward to the third side hall." The girl's face
with a professional smile.
"Thank you." Kaxiu immediately walked over with a clear purpose.
He quickly entered a side hall. The walls of this hall were hung with landscape paintings. There were also introduction papers under the picture frames, indicating the artist's background and price.
In front of the landscape painting were collections covered by glass covers. Kaxiu's eyes followed his footsteps and looked over. Soon he found what he wanted to see, a rectangular booth next to a marble column. Antiques were evenly arranged in the glass covers.
currency.
When the sun hits the countertop, the raised crown mark on the coin's surface is very conspicuous, and above the crown is a crooked cross.
Next to it is a coin with its reverse side on the counter.
The surface of the coin shows the word fifty.
That's right, the Crown Cross. One hundred and fifty years ago, a bloody revolution broke out in the Principality of Lent in the northern part of the Red Lebanese Federation. Emperor Wally IV was pushed to the guillotine, and the onlookers at that time threw a large number of coins, stained with
of blood.
The introduction next to the counter is similar to what Dad said.
Card Xiu glanced at the counter, then at the people next to him. There were relatively few people in this venue, and the only three or four people there were looking at the landscape paintings on the wall. After he made sure no one was looking at him, he tapped his right hand lightly
The bottom of the glass cover.
Boom, a dull and soft sound.
Card Xiu's fingers were like bullets, opening a gap between the glass cover and the glue connecting the countertop. For a moment, a bitter air flow continuously poured out from the gap. Card Xiu's eyes lit up, and then he silently withdrew it.
Right hand.
Unfortunately, the glass cover is closely connected to the high platform. If you want to open it, you must take off the entire glass cover. Otherwise, he must have absorbed the obsessional energy in the Crown Cross first.
Then consider the subsequent purchase of coin collections.
After looking around and realizing that no one was watching him, Ka Xiu tried his best to get there bit by bit.
His body control is amazing and he can move and retract it freely. His fingers are like electric drills and can easily open a gap in the yellow glue layer without having to touch the entire glass cover.
Coupled with his soft voice and concealed movements, in just five or six minutes, he visited all the high tables in this side hall. Unfortunately, there is no obsession with antiques here.
So, Ka Xiu's target was directed to other wings.
He thought that it would be difficult to detect flaws in this method. There were no cameras here, and people nearby could not notice Card Xiu's small movements. What's more, even if they were discovered, he just touched the corners of the glass cover and did not touch the inside.
The antiques and collections have always been properly placed on the high platform.
In this way, Ka Xiu will be more confident and move faster.
We searched five side rooms in a short period of time, which was very efficient.
But, still no gain.
This can't help but make Kaxiu a little frustrated. In such a large White Rose Antiques Exhibition, he can't find the second obsessive antique besides the Crown Cross Star. Then wouldn't it be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find the obsessive antiques by himself? Then all he can do is rely on it.
luck?
I have no choice but to continue searching.
Finally, in the penultimate wing, Wing No. 9.
In the edge corner, Ka Xiu's body shook slightly.
He clicked his tongue and lowered his head. There was a bronze ring placed inside the glass cover. It was rough in workmanship and quite ugly.
However, this is an obsessive antique!
The bitter taste in Ka Xiu's mouth already told him the answer.
Taking a deep breath, Ka Xiu wrote down the location information of this counter, and then walked towards the last venue.
Five minutes later, he returned to the main hall.
In the spacious hall, upper-class people in suits and leather shoes were walking back and forth, chatting and holding hot tea in their hands. There were also some handsome and beautiful young men and women gathered together to take a look. They were all well-dressed and elegant.
.
There were only a dozen bald middle-aged or old men who really looked like collectors. They were wearing very casual light yellow shirts and a pair of reading glasses, walking around.
I basically don’t chat with anyone and just focus on the collection.
Card Xiu immediately followed suit, and like them, he started from a corner of the counter and explored other places step by step.
He looked hunched over, silent and withdrawn.
Naturally, the people next to him would not ask for trouble. They often stood sideways when Ka Xiu came over and continued chatting with their friends. Ka Xiu, on the other hand, lay on the high platform and poked at the edge with his fingers.
Just click it and you can tell the authenticity in a few seconds.
Since there are many collections in the main hall and the crowds are dense, Ka Xiu is more cautious in his approach. He often pretends to be nonchalant at first, and then suddenly leans down a little bit when the surrounding eyes are gone.
So it took him half an hour to complete the search.
"This entire White Rose Antiques Exhibition is not even as good as the antique transport truck of the Sand Dust Organization..." Card Xiu couldn't help complaining in his heart.
There are only two obsessive antiques in this wave.
One is the Crown Cross coin that has been determined for a long time, and the other is the bronze ring in Exhibition Hall 9. Although there are gains, it is hard to say how much the harvest will be in the end. The main thing is to see the authenticity of the pile of Crown Cross coins.
, there are more than one hundred in total, and I don’t know how many contain obsession energy.
If it's like Ka Xiu's last time, a genuine Crown Cross coin has about 0.2 obsession energy, which is equivalent to the energy contained in half a normal obsession antique. I hope it can be more...
While he was meditating, there was a commotion not far away.
"Damn it, you bitch dare to hit me?! Fuck her!"
A young man with black hair was covering the left side of his face with an angry look on his face.
There was a red palm print right there.
Opposite him was a slim and cold figure, bodyguard Matthew, the one with the tear mole at the corner of his eye.
Although I'm sorry that Ka Xiu only remembered this, the finishing touch of the tear mark is indeed an impressive point.
Dozens of meters away, a bodyguard behind the young man rushed over. Without any thought of mercy, he punched Violet directly in the chest with great speed and force.
"Oh? This man has practiced fighting skills."
Ka Xiu walked over and narrowed his eyes.
On the other side, Violet took a step back. She stepped sideways and quickly dodged the fist. Then her long, round and tight legs flew up and swept diagonally, hitting the bodyguard on the waist.
"This Violet also knows some fighting skills, but it doesn't seem to be very high. He is probably around level 3 of fighting skills." Card Xiu strolled over and said, "The bodyguards sent by the Ace of Spades organization will not have such poor combat effectiveness. Then
She should be better at marksmanship."
In the distance, two more bodyguards rushed over from behind the young man.
There were three big men in total, each of whom seemed to have about two or three levels of fighting skills. At this moment, Violet was surrounded in the middle.
"Damn it, I can't bring the gun in, it's troublesome..."
Violet narrowed her eyes with a heavy heart.
Suddenly, a tall figure next to him pushed through the crowd of onlookers and squeezed in: "What's so lively? Let me see..."
