Xia Zhuoli disappeared on the third day after Wu Qiu got the copy of the notebook.
This incident did not attract people's attention, and Zhang Xiaolong did not send anyone to look for it. Twenty-four hours later, Xia Zhuoli's family reported the case.
Zhang Xiaolong ordered people to transport the recovered treasure back to City A. He chose a Burmese-style villa in the inner courtyard of Haiyan Villa and built a private museum in it. When the high-end casino in Haiyan Villa opens in the future, it will be considered a good one.
Selling point.
Jia Wei found Zhang Xiaolong angrily and handed over his research results. He believed that the treasure was hidden in the Savage Mountain area, close to the southern area where the water network is relatively dense. In the jungle there, there are relics left by the ancient Burmese kingdoms everywhere.
, these ruins are part of the peripheral town buildings of Angkor Wat.
However, the location determined by Jiawei is fifty kilometers away from the actual location of the treasure. In the dense primitive jungle, a fifty-kilometer deviation is equal to an infinite deviation.
Moved by Jia Wei's professionalism, Zhang Xiaolong wrote him a check for five million. Jia Wei shook his head when he saw the amount: "This, I can't ask for this, it's too much."
Real Mr. Jia.
Zhang Xiaolong smiled and said: "Well! Mr. Jia, please don't be polite. You deserve it at this time. Even if I bring back a few Buddha statues from there, they will at least be worth this amount."
Jia Wei shouted: "No! It is illegal to destroy cultural relics."
Zhang Xiaolong consoled him: "I'm just making an analogy. Even if I want to steal cultural relics from Myanmar, the Myanmar government will not agree to it."
Jia Wei let out a sigh, then he sighed again and said: "Mr. Zhang, you heard about the disappearance of Mr. Xia. It has been two days, there is no news, and no one has called to ask for ransom.
, I am really worried, could you send someone to check, I know that your access is much wider than that of the police."
That's a very euphemistic way of saying it, without directly saying that Zhang Xiaolong is the leader of the underworld.
Zhang Xiaolong smiled and nodded and said, "Okay. I will send someone to check."
After Jia Wei left, Zhang Xiaolong said to Qi Fanghang beside him: "Send some people out to show off. Old Man Xia must have been silenced. Go find him there!"
Qi Fanghang went down to arrange manpower, and Zhang Xiaolong turned on the spy satellite again to check the situation of the treasure location. It had been several days, but there was no movement at all.
Zhang Xiaolong looked at the address given by Jia Wei and changed the coordinates of the spy satellite lens. This time he could clearly see people. In the jungle in this area, there were not only many ancient ruins, but also many white tents.
Many workers are cleaning up the ruins.
Zhang Xiaolong cursed heartily: "Pig, didn't they discover that the real treasure location is fifty kilometers away?" He pointed at the screen, turned to Yinxuan and said, "Do you think these bastards are pigs?"
Yinxuan pursed his lips and smiled. Zhang Xiaolong thought for a while and said, "I have to give them a little hint." He looked at the information sent by Jia Wei and tried to recall every detail in the notebook. Zhang Xiaolong picked up the phone.
Called Jia Wei: "Mr. Jia, the Japanese soldiers in the notes were captured and buried alive by the Chinese Expeditionary Force. There were more than 3,000 of them. Where were they captured? Where did they fight? I always feel that the address
No, can you analyze it for me?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I'll take care of it right away." Jia Wei took five million and was naturally very motivated, so he agreed immediately.
That's enough, let the treasure-hunting bastards throw themselves into a trap.
The people who will be sent to hunt for treasures are all errand boys. If we want to completely crack down on the international cultural relics smuggling group, we must have a certain understanding of this group.
Zhang Xiaolong hung up the phone and began to collect information about the international cultural relics smuggling group.
…………
Meanwhile, in Singapore, inside a luxury apartment with ocean views.
Ten elderly people sat together, nine men and one woman, all of whom were already 10 years old and old enough to begin to lose their scum. These old people sat clockwise in order of age. These wrinkled old men and women were already old.
It's hard to tell their race, because they are all the same withered. And it is these wrinkled old men and women who control 80% of the world's smuggling of cultural relics.
Which industry is the most profitable in the world? Drugs, arms, finance, high-tech electronic equipment, online commerce, and the hugely profitable smuggling of cultural relics. This is an industry that requires only a small payment and can be exchanged for dozens of times.
The profiteering industry of returns, especially in modern times when antique collecting is becoming more and more popular, has become extremely profitable.
Among them, an old man sitting in the front seat was as skinny as a stick, with wrinkles all over his body. Looking at him coldly, he looked like a living mummy.
This person is the current head of the international cultural relics smuggling group named He Yaoren. He is saying categorically: "The address is fake. Send the Ten Holy Knights there, maybe we can find some useful clues."
The only woman sitting opposite He Yaoren, He Ping, coughed and thought about what he was going to say, and said: "It is necessary to send the Ten Holy Riders over. I doubt whether the harvest this time is worth it. You know,
At that time, the plundering of the Japanese was destructive. They would melt the exquisite gold and silver handicrafts into gold and silver bricks for transportation. Even if such things were destroyed, they would not be of much value. I am more optimistic about the exquisite ancient Gao in this area.
Mural carvings from the Cotton Kingdom.”
Many people here agree with He Ping's point of view. The ancient city they found is already very valuable. A large number of cultural relics from the ancient Khmer Kingdom were excavated in the ancient city. Even a small piece of pottery can be sold for a good price.
.
He Yaoren picked up the remote control and turned off the lights in the room. A huge projection appeared behind him, and what was played on it were all the contents of Shi Geyun's notes. He explained: "This batch of cultural relics was discovered by the Japanese army."
Yes, before they handed it over, they and the Chinese Expeditionary Force were completely wiped out. They hid the treasure before their defeat, but most of the insiders were buried alive. I believe the value of this cultural relic is as good as Angkor Wat itself."
Ho Yaoren turned around, pointed at the big screen and said: "The value of this cultural relic will ensure the prosperity of our organization for a hundred years. Don't you think so?"
Everyone present smiled, and He Ping said: "Oh, that's it. Now that the clues have been found, I agree to dispatch the Ten Holy Knights."
"Second." "Second." Everyone present agreed.
After the voting was completed, someone raised another question. At this time, the man sitting in third place under He Yaoren said in a hoarse voice: "This information was lost twenty years ago. In order to get it, we once killed a background
A very profound woman named Shi Geyun, I heard that her son is investigating the cause of his mother's death, and this information leaked from his son's hands, could this be a trap?"
He Yaoren sneered and said: "It doesn't matter. If it is a trap, we will kill all the people ambushing there. Am I supporting Dejiang? Let him send out some troops, and the problem will be solved."
"Are you supporting the warlords in Myanmar? Your appetite is getting bigger and bigger. What are you doing this time?"
"I plan to resell an ancient city from the ancient Khmer Kingdom. Without the acquiescence of the Myanmar military government, how can I move the ancient city out?" He Yaoren chuckled.
He Ping sarcastically said: "You don't want to steal Angkor Wat."
Ho Yaoren shrugged and said: "The essence of Angkor Wat has been dug up by the British a long time ago. I..."
Someone interrupted Ho Yaoren dissatisfiedly: "Hey! Who is the British guy? Don't forget that you took over the seat from the British guy."
"Sorry, sorry, slip of the tongue." He Yaoren apologized hastily.
People in this organization come from all over the world, and they change who is the boss every once in a while. The purpose is to better control the global cultural relics smuggling market.
This ancient organization emerged from the United Kingdom and traveled around the world with the warships of the British Expeditionary Force. Its history of existence is longer than that of the Pinlan Society, and its existence is also more mysterious.
But Zhang Xiaolong has not yet seen clearly how powerful the enemy he faces is.
In the middle of the round table where ten old men sit, there is a silhouette mark of a knight's politeness, which is also the mark of this mysterious organization.
Jazz club.
…………
Just a few days later, Hou Jun recruited a group of private troops in northern Myanmar and suddenly attacked Dejiang's territory. After drawing Dejiang's attention, he secretly sent people to Yangon to rescue Wu Xi and assist him.
Wu Xi controlled the economic zone in southern Myanmar centered on Yangon.
Dejiang, who was originally prosperous, suddenly fell into the dilemma of being attacked from two sides. Local warlords who had previously been leaning towards Dejiang also began to raise their voices, but Dejiang's power was still very strong, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.
The Southern Army Gang has fully mobilized. In the secret military factories in the mountains of Yunnan and Burma, they have begun to work overtime for production, smuggled large quantities of arms into Myanmar, and armed the militias there to the teeth.
Zhang Xiaolong stayed in Chuncheng and visited Hou Dehai every day. Every major issue of the Southern Army Gang would be discussed with Hou Dehai and then implemented.
Hou Dehai, who was originally lying in the hospital bed, was worried about Zhang Xiaolong robbing the family property. After getting along with him for a period of time, he found that his brother-in-law was so reliable and a good person, and he no longer worried about the family property. The two worked together to bring Nan
The military gang's management is in order, and various businesses are booming.
On this day, Zhang Xiaolong and Hou Dehai were discussing the issue of expanding the production capacity of the military factory. Most of the workers employed in the factory came from poor areas in Southeast Asian countries such as Myanmar, Vietnam, and Laos. The wages of these workers were relatively low, and they were under strict management.
I'm obedient, but my technical level is a bit behind.
Zhang Xiaolong suggested: "Should we add some technical personnel to the factory?"
Hou Dehai leaned on the bedside and said: "I also think there should be more technical personnel, but there are too few people who can be reassured. The address of the factory is confidential and cannot be disclosed."
