I feel that my explanation is really weak, but I still refuse to say anything about the jade plaque.
He continued to cover it up with his tongue-tied words.
"That jade tablet is really a relic of my grandpa. He left here before the solution. Before his death, he once said that the thing he couldn't let go of the most was the jade tablet. I hope we can find it for him."
When Lou Xiao'e saw that the foreigner was pretending to be stupid and remained tight-lipped, she knew there was no need to continue asking.
He said calmly: "It's really touching that you traveled thousands of miles to come to us for your grandfather's last wish. It's a pity that you didn't tell me what the jade plaque looks like? Our restaurant really can't help you find it. If you say that person comes, then
He did not leave the restaurant, so please rest assured that we will try our best to help you find him and report the case for you. You can just wait for now, the police will come soon."
"What? Report a crime? Oh no, no, no, I don't need to report a crime. I just want to find that person. If he is sent by you, I am willing to pay you nine hundred dollars. If he is not sent by you, as long as you can
Help him and tell him, I'm also willing to buy it from him for nine hundred dollars."
Lou Xiao'e ignored him and stood up directly and said: "Before seeing you, I have already reported the crime for you. You'd better wait here honestly for the police to come. If you insist on leaving, it will be no different from absconding."
"Oh, my God, why are you so unreasonable? I'm just here to buy things and recover my grandpa's belongings. Hey, please don't be like this..."
Lou Xiao'e has already led Lin Dong and Lin Liang back.
Tao Weibing, who was about 1.8 meters tall, was called over by Yu Li and stood guarding the foreigner at the door, asking him to wait here for the police to arrive.
Before Lou Xiao'e led Lin Dong and Lin Liang to the private room to meet George, she had already called Chen Zhiguo.
No matter whether she could trick the foreigner out or not, Lou Xiaoe would eventually send him to the prison.
Now Lou Xiao'e is no longer the silly child she was when she first married Lin Zhen. Instead, she has become a little 'damaged' due to Lin Zhen's subtle influence.
After returning to the office.
Lin Donglin Liang asked: "Mom, this foreigner is too strict with his words. Is it possible that he really doesn't know? Is it possible that he is also doing things for others?"
Lou Xiao'e said: "I can't say whether he is doing things for others, but he definitely knows the secret of the jade plaque, otherwise he wouldn't have given him 900 US dollars directly. This is just a medium-quality Dushan jade, and it is also small.
Just looking at the material, it’s only worth ten yuan.”
Lin Dong said: "It's a pity that he didn't reveal anything about the jade plaque."
Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly.
"He insists that it is his grandfather's relic. The more stubborn he is, the more it proves that he knows the inside story. Since we can't trick him, there is no need to waste time with him."
Lin Liang worried: "Mom, do you think he will suspect that we also know the secret of the jade tablet?"
Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "No, otherwise he wouldn't have paid a high price to buy it. If he really suspected that we knew the secret of the jade plaque, he would definitely use other methods to put pressure on us, and he wouldn't even meet us face to face. He
Now you should think that I sent you, Uncle Xu, to set up a trap to defraud him of his money. Look, he will increase the price soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Li walked over.
She smiled and said: "Xiao'e, that foreigner said that he is willing to pay 1,500 US dollars. If we don't sell the jade token, he will leave immediately."
Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "Tell him that the police are on their way here. Let him wait and don't try to escape. We don't have a jade token. Even if he offers fifteen thousand dollars, we can't get it out."
Yu Li nodded and immediately turned around and left.
Lou Xiao'e said to Lin Dong again: "Go to the kitchen and tell your Uncle Xu that now the foreigner is trapped in the private room by us. Let him go back to the hospital. Be careful when you go out recently, so as not to be targeted again."
After a while.
Chen Zhiguo led two film police officers to Bacui Building.
George wanted to leave several times, but was stopped by Tao guards.
After seeing the police, foreigner George obviously felt a little guilty and apologized repeatedly to Chen Zhiguo.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I really didn't mean to trouble you. Here's the thing. I came here to retrieve my grandpa's belongings. I had already discussed the price with the shop owner and was about to ask someone to buy it for me.
, but he bought something by himself. I chased him all the way here, but he disappeared after entering the restaurant. That thing is too important to me. It is a souvenir left by my grandfather."
After hearing what George said, Chen Zhiguo smiled.
After seeing his ID, I immediately took out a pen and paper and started recording.
"Excuse me, what is grandpa's name? Where did he live before? What is his relic? Who gave it to him for safekeeping? What is the name of the person you asked for help?"
"Uh...this..."
A policeman on the side asked: "Are the relics something he left to you, or did you come to our country to find them on your own?"
"Oh, it was left behind when he left here before solving the problem. I found that thing in Liulichang."
Chen Zhiguo said: "Let me correct you, that is no longer your grandpa's relic, even if it has a special mark left by your grandpa. Okay, now you need to tell me, what is that thing? Describe it.
The more specific the better.”
George didn't want the police to know about the jade plaque, so he immediately made a helpless and disappointed expression.
"Since your law stipulates that it is not my grandpa's relic, then I don't need to trouble you. Oh, my God, my luck is really bad. When I go back, I will regret it to my grandpa."
Chen Zhiguo said: "This is your freedom, but you must follow us back to the institute to conduct a detailed investigation."
"Why?"
"Because you avoided answering our questions, since you came to the restaurant to find someone and you are a foreign guest, we must help you find out."
"Oh, no, God, you are so enthusiastic. I don't need that thing anymore. Since you said it is not my grandpa's relic, what else do I have to fight for? If I give up voluntarily, I can leave now.
Yet?"
"Sorry, I can't!"
It's only the twelfth lunar month of 1978. Although the policy of reopening has been determined, people are still very cautious about foreigners.
Especially this George, he is too slippery and a bit self-righteous and cunning.
Naturally, Chen Zhiguo couldn't just let him go.
George said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll go with you to the place, but don't you check this restaurant? I did see the person who bought my things walk in here!"
Chen Zhiguo said: "He bought it with money, not by stealing it. If something is for sale, it is not your personal property. He is not a criminal. Whether he enters a restaurant or a shopping mall, we have no right to search the restaurant."
Lou Xiao'e said: "It's okay, comrade, you can take this foreign friend to look for him in the restaurant to make him give up."
George shook his head, "Forget it, there's no need. Just treat what I just said as if I didn't say it. Even if that person has been here, he has left after such a long time."
Yu Li said: "I told you a long time ago that the person left through the back door of our restaurant the moment you entered. Alas, you don't believe it yourself!"
In the end, George was brought back to the institute by Chen Zhiguo.
Although there is something suspicious about this man, he has been hesitating and covering up, so he really can't find out anything.
In addition, all the documents were in compliance with the regulations. The police knew that this boy had a problem, but they had no choice but to let him go.
After George came out of the house, he had an expression of disobedience, anger, and contempt for others.
I turned around and went to the phone booth to make a long-distance call abroad.
He chattered a lot of foreign languages.
"Pete, I found the token of that organization, but I don't know if there are any living people left. Unfortunately, the token was snatched away by a speculator. What should I do next?"
"Idiot, how could you let others take it away? Have you followed it?"
"The line got disconnected after we chased me to a restaurant. I thought the restaurant owner was trying to trick me out of my money, but I was wrong. The restaurant treated me as an enemy agent."
"You are almost like an enemy agent when you are riding a horse. Don't explain yourself. You are a loser. You have been exposed. If there are still people alive in that organization, you will be in trouble!"
"then what do I do?"
"Come back, I'll take over, and by the way, find out the details of that restaurant for me!"
"No problem, okay, okay, don't lecture me. I hope you don't get into trouble when you come!"
George was chattering like a machine gun, which attracted curious looks from the callers in the telephone hall.
One of them narrowed his eyes slightly.
Picked up the phone and dialed a number.
He whispered: "Master, there was a foreigner who chased Xu Damao into Mr. Lin's restaurant today, and was later taken away by police officer Chen Zhiguo. Now he is gibbering on horseback and barking at his foreign accomplices. What should we do next?"
"
The person on the other end of the phone was naturally Zhang Mazi, who was helping Lin Zhen monitor the surroundings for abnormalities.
Zhang Mazi said coldly: "Erpizi, why did you let him chase you to the restaurant?"
"Master, it's my fault for not following Xu Damao. I don't know whether this foreigner is an enemy or a friend. You know, usually I only guard the restaurant. But then the police came into the restaurant and I realized that this foreigner is an enemy and not a friend."
"This time it will be recorded as a beating. If you have made a meritorious service, you will not be beaten. First, let your men keep an eye on the foreigner. Mr. Lin is not here. Go and ask Mrs. Lin for instructions. Ask what happened in the restaurant? How did Mrs. Lin arrange for you? You
Just do it.”
"Yes! Master, I'll go right away."
Zhang Mazi and several of his disciples have seen Lin Zhen's strangeness with their own eyes. Recently, Lin Zhen has asked Ye Qi to prescribe some health-preserving medicine for them from time to time. They all look as if they are seven or eight years younger.
Money is important to them, but health and longevity are more important.
Therefore, they have regarded Lin Zhen as their ancestor to serve him.
Making money became their side job, and helping Lin Zhen monitor the surrounding abnormalities became their main job.
Erpizi looked at George walking out of the phone hall, waved his hand gently, and a young man in his twenties followed him out.
"Damn it, I got scolded by Master, I will kill you this time!"
