Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 918 Planning
"You have an advantage in jewelry, that is, you are not only a designer but also an academic, so naturally there are good reasons to say no to people who come to you to order jewelry now."

Regarding the surge in orders after this exhibition, Elizabeth did not plan to take all of them while the iron was hot, but instead suggested that Liang En suspend his actions recently.

"The things we buy are jewelry, not daily necessities, so engaging in de facto hunger marketing is more conducive to reflecting the value of those things."

"Besides, it will take some time for a series of information about Ni's jewelry design to spread, especially for people like you who are not low in level, it will take time to brew."

"What you said makes sense, but this suspension of supply must have a reasonable explanation." Liang En nodded to express his approval of Elizabeth's point of view.

"Even if we really want to reduce the waiting time for shipments before selling, we must not give customers the feeling of waiting for the price to rise, so there must be a very reasonable reason."

"The reason is not simple. Didn't you see something wrong in the antique store from Banksy's photo before, so now you can investigate something as a reason to go to the United States and get this matter done by the way .”

As soon as Liang En finished her analysis on this aspect, Joan of Arc immediately thought of a solution to the whole incident. Anyway, in her opinion, if she had to go out to avoid it, then it is better to seek refuge with a goal than to scurry around without a goal. Some.

"The investigation results from the United States have come out. Judging from the investigation results, this item was sold to this antique shop by his heir, that is, his nephew, after the death of an old farmer." Elizabeth reported the investigation results.

"Our people found an opportunity to contact each other and asked briefly, and then got the following information. First of all, his uncle used to be a US military officer stationed in southern North Korea from the late 40s to the late 50s. .”

"Secondly, the major inexplicably acquired a fortune after returning to China, so that he was able to buy a large farm near Seattle, and all the legal income of the other party could not add up to do this."

"The most important point is that we investigated the life of this soldier, and found that no one who was close to the other side's colleagues and direct subordinates survived when he left South Korea."

"No one survived!" Hearing this, Liang En became completely nervous.Because no matter how this thing sounds, it has a strong taste of conspiracy, but he really doesn't want to get himself into a lot of trouble.

"Yes, no one survived, but this major should not have done it." Elizabeth continued to report on the clues she had found and the conclusions drawn from the analysis of these clues.

"Because his direct subordinate was a purely black army, he was used as cannon fodder by the old Americans in the peninsula war. As for his colleagues, they encountered an air crash on the way back to Japan for vacation, and they disappeared. .”

"According to the information I found, the reason why the major chose to retire after returning from the Korean Peninsula is also related to these things, because he feels that his luck is really bad."

"It seems that the current situation is indeed a bit complicated, and on-the-spot investigation is necessary." Liang En said while tapping the table lightly with his hands.

At least from the current situation, this level of information is already the limit, and if you want to get further content, you must further in-depth front-line investigation.

"Then where are we going? Seattle, USA." After hearing Liang En's judgment, Joan asked curiously, "Or South Korea or Japan."

"Seattle, because the other side has been doing international trade between Asia and America for the next few decades, so the other side does have the ability to bring those things back home. The most important thing is that this Buddha statue was discovered in Seattle."

Looking at the map unfolded on the table, Liang En thought for a few minutes and then clicked on the location of Go to Seattle on the west coast of the United States and said.

"And it's easiest for us to start the search in Seattle. If we really can't find what we want here, we should be able to find clues from it to determine whether those things are probably hidden in Japan or South Korea."

"Your analysis makes sense." After hearing Liang En's judgment, Elizabeth nodded approvingly, and then said, "The person I entrusted has almost bought the Buddha statue, but it will take a few more days. "

"Is that Buddha statue still there?" Joan asked curiously. "If I remember correctly, it was a year or two ago when Banksy visited that antique shop. Is it still there after all this time?"

"Yes, that's true." Elizabeth nodded and said. "After all, this Buddha statue is not cheap. It is considered to be a bronze Buddha cast in the Qing Dynasty, and it is one of the top products, so the price is 26 US dollars, so it is normal that no one buys it."

"In order to avoid suspicion, our people are negotiating the price with them, and now it has reached 243000 US dollars. If there is no accident, we should be able to guarantee to get this Buddha statue in two days."

"It's fine if that's the case." Liang En nodded and acknowledged that he knew that if he wanted to pay in one lump sum in this situation, it might attract unnecessary attention, which would obviously not be conducive to the next action.

In the next two days, besides waiting for the United States to buy the Buddha statue, Liang En will mainly spend his time analyzing the data of the former US military major.

Judging from what Liang En found, the major lived a very good life after the war. Whether it was a farm or a trading company, the business was flourishing, and he was definitely a successful person.

Moreover, judging from the existing clues, he mainly relied on the contacts he had accumulated when he was a military officer in Japan and South Korea to obtain benefits, and this is obviously also conducive to the secret transportation of some materials that are not convenient to be disclosed.

More importantly, judging from the clues found now, this major still has some kind of special connection with the US military after he retired, such as the operation of a sea route from Japan to Vietnam in the 60s and 70s.

Unlike ordinary business operations, much of the major's business information is kept secret or cannot be checked at all, which obviously shows that there is some information behind it that is not suitable for public disclosure.

"This is not a bad thing, because from the pure clues, if the other party really finds the things behind this Buddha statue during his service career, he does have the ability to transport those things back to Seattle on the west coast of the United States."

Joan of Arc, who was also preparing for Liang En after checking the information that day, said.Unlike Liang En, who mainly made academic preparations, Joan's preparations were mainly in daily aspects, such as basic necessities of life after going to Seattle.

"This sounds like good news. To be honest, I think it's enough to solve the problem once. If you have to go to a few more places, it would be too bad." Joan was carrying a piece of clothing into a suitcase. Start talking.

"Come to think of it, if we can't find it in Seattle, we need to go across the Pacific to Japan and Korea. I don't want to eat kimchi three meals a day."
