Goldfinger is a bit strange
Chapter 845 This strategy was very successful (1/2)
"Are you Mr. Liu Qingshan from China? We have something that we need your help to investigate."
The leading police officer came to Liu Qingshan, saluted, and introduced himself seriously: "I am Section Chief Du Qiu of the Accounting Division of the Metropolitan Police Department."
Liu Qingshan was eating. He was not very satisfied with the Japanese breakfast. There was no soy milk, fried dough sticks, or any porridge, buns, etc.
He looked up at the police chief with a lawsuit-like face: "Mr. Du Qiu, are you filming the movie "The Chase?"
In the 1970s and 1980s, there was a famous movie in the island country, "The Chase" starring Ken Takakura, and the protagonist's name was Du Qiu.
"Mr. Liu, we are serious, please cooperate with our work." Section Chief Du Qiu was still serious.
Liu Qingshan nodded: "I can cooperate, but we have to finish breakfast."
So, Liu Qingshan and his group had an unforgettable breakfast surrounded by a group of policemen. .
After finishing the meal, Liu Qingshan and all of them were asked to return to their respective rooms and were not allowed to enter or leave.
"Mr. Du Qiu, what happened?" Liu Qingshan pretended to be confused.
Section Chief Du Qiu did not hide it: "We received a report this morning that the ancient painting of red and white hibiscus in the Tokyo National Museum was stolen yesterday."
When telling this story, Section Chief Du Qiu stared at Liu Qingshan, not letting go of any expression or reaction of the other party.
Liu Qingshan said, "I know that painting is very precious, but I don't understand, what does it have to do with me?"
After years of standing and nourishing qi, Liu Qingshan is absolutely strong in terms of psychological quality, at least his mental strength is far stronger than that of Section Chief Du Qiu in front of him.
So the other party's little tricks are useless to Liu Qingshan.
"Mr. Liu, please understand our feelings. Such a national treasure-level cultural relic was stolen, and we must do our best to recover it."
Du Qiu did not dare to go too far. After all, the other party was a billionaire and quite well-known. Such a rich and famous person is not someone that everyone can offend.
Liu Qingshan smiled slightly: "As far as I know, this painting was collected in the Old Summer Palace. After it was lost, who can understand the mood of our people?"
This is actually quite choking, and Du Qiu couldn't answer it, so he could only reveal it: "That is due to historical reasons, and we are all powerless."
Then he continued to return to the topic: "Mr. Liu, because you and your team have recently purchased Chinese antiques in some banks, we are worried that thieves will find you, which may cause trouble for you, so we have the responsibility to protect our distinguished guests."
"Do you suspect that I bought stolen goods?" Liu Qingshan smiled slightly, then waved his hand gently:
"Mr. Du Qiu, you can search the room where I live with my classmates at will."
Liu Qingshan knew that even if he didn't say so, people would definitely search it in detail, so it would be better to take the initiative.
"Then I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Liu." Du Qiu was not polite, and quickly ordered his men to start checking.
The hotel room is, of course, the easiest to clean. You searched it all in less than half an hour, and found nothing except a blue and white plate.
However, when Liu Qingshan bought the blue and white plate, he was also careful and wrote a transaction contract with the seller, so it naturally had nothing to do with the theft.
At this point, of course, it can only be regarded as a preliminary investigation, and it is far from over.
Then Section Chief Du Qiu began to ask about Liu Qingshan's whereabouts yesterday. Needless to say, the bank was mainly about visiting Tanimura Shinji, which attracted Du Qiu's attention.
He first asked about the time in detail, and it seemed that there was no problem, but Du Qiu still keenly noticed something.
After reviewing the matter from beginning to end in his mind, Du Qiu felt that there must be something fishy.
In his opinion, even if Liu Qingshan bought the painting, it would be impossible to hide it in the hotel, so it must be moved to another place, and Tanimura was the focus of suspicion.
After thinking about it, Section Chief Du Qiu decided to take people to Tanimura's house to investigate.
Although the other party is also a very prestigious person, it should be okay for him to cooperate with the investigation.
So the troops were divided into two groups, and Section Chief Du Qiu led people to Tanimura's house.
After making a polite phone call outside, Tanimura was a little unhappy, but he still received Du Qiu and his party.
As a routine, they naturally had to search Tanimura's house.
Tanimura was frank and didn't say anything. After searching for a long time, he finally found a suitcase in the corner of the living room.
"This is a gift my friend brought when he visited last night." Tanimura didn't doubt it and told the truth.
Du Qiu couldn't help but be happy: "Tanimura, can you open it and take a look?"
Tanimura nodded: "I didn't have time to check it either."
I chatted with Liu Qingshan until very late yesterday, and just got up this morning, so I really didn't check it.
Du Qiu had high hopes for this suitcase, but after opening it, he found a bunch of local specialties inside, all of which were dried mushrooms and wild vegetables.
Tanimura was so happy that he nodded: "It's really a precious thing."
But Du Qiu was disappointed. He asked again, but found nothing new, so he could only leave in disappointment.
So far, they have no reason to investigate further, and the police officers at the hotel have all withdrawn.
Liu Qingshan and his group went to the bank to work again, and they will set off on their return journey tomorrow.
This last day was also very busy, because representatives from the bank kept coming to Liu Qingshan to sell him those paintings.
Liu Qingshan finally reluctantly accepted a few paintings.
He waited until this time to make a move, on the one hand because it was the last choice, and on the other hand, Liu Qingshan also wanted to whet the other party's appetite and lower the price.
Facts have proved that this strategy is very successful.
Just like Van Gogh's "Vase with 15 Sunflowers", Liu Qingshan bought it for 9 million US dollars.
The price that the Japanese bought it back was 39.7 million US dollars, and Liu Qingshan spent a fraction of it.
At the critical moment, Liu Qingshan was not polite at all. Anyway, if you are willing to sell, I will buy it. If your price is too high, I'm sorry, we will sell it.
And the "Portrait of Dr. Gachet" was also collected by Liu Qingshan. This painting cost Liu Qingshan 35 million US dollars.
However, compared with the price of 82.5 million US dollars, it is still more than half discounted.
Uncle Lu and his friends were all very upset because this was the most expensive piece of art on their trip.
The more Lao Maoer looked at the people in the painting, the more he disliked them: "What are these people in the painting? They look uglier than me!"
Liu Qingshan smiled but said nothing. The doctor in the painting, Dr. Gachet, was a doctor who helped Van Gogh treat his mental illness and took good care of him.
To express his gratitude, Van Gogh painted a portrait of Dr. Gachet, and his name was left behind.
There are two paintings in total, which are somewhat similar to the red and white hibiscus painting.
One of them is collected in the Musee d'Orsay in Paris.
The other one is the one Liu Qingshan bought. The composition is similar to the first one, but there are two more books on the table.
But this portrait has a tragic fate. After being auctioned at a high price to an island country, its owner kept it in a bank and threatened that after his death, he would cremate it with the painting.
A few years later, the man died of a stroke, and the painting disappeared with him, never to be seen again. It was unknown whether it was burned or collected by someone else.
No matter what the final outcome was, Liu Qingshan felt that he had the responsibility to preserve the painting. After all, it would be a pity if it was destroyed.
His plan was to take it to France in the future to see if he could negotiate with the Musee d'Orsay to exchange the painting for some Chinese national treasures.
If these two paintings of "Portrait of Dr. Gachet" could be reunited, it would be a good story.
I believe that the ordinary but kind Dr. Gachet would also smile in heaven.
Another big deal of Liu Qingshan was to buy Renoir's "Ball at the Moulin Rouge", which was also sold for 35 million US dollars.
In terms of purchasing oil paintings, Liu Qingshan spent more than 100 million US dollars.
Although he still had a few favorites, he did not make the deal in the end because the price he offered was too low.
It's not that the bankers in the island countries haven't thought about re-auctioning these paintings.
But they can figure it out with their butts. The art dealers in Europe and America have already sharpened their knives, and they are definitely more ruthless than Liu Qingshan.
In fact, the price Liu Qingshan bought at this stage can only be said to be not too high, which basically reflects the true value of these paintings.
Liu Qingshan bought oil paintings, of course, not for collection, just like Van Gogh's "Starry Night" at the beginning, all of which were prepared for private exchanges with foreign art galleries.
In the end, the prepared 350 million US dollars was just spent less than 150 million, which is barely acceptable.
It's not that Liu Qingshan is reluctant to spend money, but mainly because the works sold to him by the banks are all third-rate paintings of impressionism or abstractionism, which have no room for appreciation.
Even if you put them for a hundred years, not only will they not appreciate, but they may even depreciate.
These things can fool nouveau riche outsiders, but they are not effective against Liu Qingshan at all.
After making an appointment with several banks, these antiques and artworks will be escorted to the airport by armored vehicles tomorrow, and Liu Qingshan took people back to the hotel.
It was really tiring after a day, and just when he was about to eat and go to bed, the manager of the hotel front desk greeted him at the door early: "Mr. Liu, there are guests visiting."
Liu Qingshan was also exhausted, and asked who it was. If it was irrelevant, he would just not meet him. He really didn't want to cause trouble.
"The man said that he wanted to recommend antique porcelain to you." The manager hurriedly explained to Liu Qingshan.
Thinking of the Yuan blue and white porcelain plate that he had picked up two days ago, Liu Qingshan was immediately refreshed:
"Okay, where is the person, I'll go over and see!"
Since they were all in the hotel, Liu Qingshan asked others to go to dinner first, and he only took Master Lu and Wu Tong with him.
When they came to a reception room in the hotel, they saw a man in his thirties sitting on the sofa, wearing a wrinkled suit, and looking a little cramped.
Seeing the manager leading Liu Qingshan and others in, the man stood up suddenly. He looked about 1.6 meters tall.
He bowed respectfully: "Mr. Liu, sorry to bother you."
Liu Qingshan waved his hand and then turned his attention to the big cardboard box on the table.
The man was quite tactful and quickly opened the cardboard box and took out a big blue and white jar.
This behavior actually scared Liu Qingshan and Uncle Lu: Aren't you afraid of bumping into things?
"This is a large blue and white jar passed down from my ancestors. I heard it is very precious. I have encountered some financial difficulties recently, so I can only sell it. I really feel sorry for my ancestors."
The man was mumbling, these words sounded familiar to Liu Qingshan, they were basically the same.
As the man spoke, he put his hand into the mouth of the jar and took out something from the inside. They were all sponges and the like. It seemed that they had taken some precautions.
"This jar looks like a thief."
Uncle Lu glanced at it, muttered, and then walked forward, preparing to conduct a closer inspection.
The so-called glare in the industry refers to the dazzling reflection on the surface of new porcelain, which is basically fake at first glance. However, just to be on the safe side, Uncle Lu decided to take a closer look.
And Liu Qingshan suddenly felt a warning sign. When the man took something out of the jar, he always felt an uneasy feeling of danger.
This is a special sense formed by long-term martial arts practice. Liu Qingshan himself can't explain it, but he really feels that some kind of danger is approaching.
"Sir, let me identify your..." Liu Qingshan said as he quickly approached the man.
Obviously, the danger could not come from Wu Tong and Uncle Lu, the two people he trusted the most.
Then it can only be the stranger in front of me!
Before Liu Qingshan finished speaking, he suddenly felt the hairs on his body stand up. He immediately shrank down, rolled forward, and continued to approach the opponent.
At the same time, the man pulled out his hand from the big jar, holding a pistol with a black muzzle, and fired at Liu Qingshan.
The huge and dull gunfire echoed in the reception room, accompanied by a man's scream. It was obvious that someone had been shot.
Liu Qingshan felt the bullet grazing his scalp. If this moment were shot into bullet time, it would definitely be very exciting.
Thanks to Liu Qingshan's warrior instinct, he was saved.
As for the front desk manager behind him, he was unlucky and fell into a pool of blood.
In the midst of the lightning and flint, Liu Qingshan had already rolled in front of the man. He couldn't attack him across the table, so he could only push forward with his body.
The solid wood table moved suddenly and hit the man's abdomen.
The man was in pain and subconsciously bowed forward, leaning his upper body on the table.
Then he let out a scream, and Liu Qingshan struck the opponent's wrist with a palm. With a crisp sound, the man's wrist bone shattered and the pistol fell to the table.
A figure flashed past, and it was Wu Tong who came over, holding the gun with one hand. However, the weight of the pistol was relatively heavy, and Wu Tong couldn't hold it with one hand. He quickly put his other hand on it, and then took the pistol away. .
This girl was far braver than she looked. She didn't hold her head and scream, but bravely rushed forward and fought side by side with her sweetheart.

The earth was hazy, and there was a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim red rain of blood.
The city is in ruins and everything is withered. Collapsed houses can be seen everywhere, as well as blue-black corpses and pieces of meat, like broken autumn leaves, silently withering.
The streets that used to be bustling with people are now desolate.
The sandy dirt road that used to be bustling with people is no longer noisy now.
Only blood and mud mixed with minced meat, dust, and paper were left, indistinguishable from each other, which was shocking.
Not far away, a broken carriage was stuck deep in the mud, full of sadness. Only an abandoned rabbit doll hung on the shaft, swaying in the wind.
The white fluff has long been soaked into wet red, full of eerieness.
The turbid eyes seemed to have some residual resentment, looking lonely at the mottled rocks in front of them.
There, a figure was lying down.
This was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, his clothes were torn and covered with dirt, and he had a broken leather bag tied around his waist.
The young man squinted his eyes and remained motionless. The biting cold penetrated his worn coat from all directions and spread throughout his body, gradually taking away his body temperature.
