Picking up Leaks in live broadcast: There are Treasures Everywhere in my Eyes - Chapter 758
Chapter 760
After a while, Xiao Ran had arrived at the door of the vault of Yamamoto’s antique shop.
In previous investigations, Tokyo police had opened the vault, checked the situation inside, and counted the items stored inside.
However, they did not take a single item from the vault.
Except for the violent opening of the vault door, the situation inside has not changed, and it is still the same as before yesterday.
As soon as he stood here, the representative of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department couldn’t wait to say:
“Mr. Sean, there are a lot of things in this vault, and we took a video of the whole process when we cleaned it, you can check it at any time!”
“According to the relevant agreement documents, everything in this vault now belongs to you
” “However, Japanese national treasure-level antique works that reflect Japanese history and culture are not included!”
Before the words fell, Qian Gu Zhenmei nodded in agreement.
“That’s right, Sean, if you find
a Japanese national treasure antique art in this vault, we have the right to take it back” Xiao Ran turned to look at the two guys, then smiled and nodded and said:
“Gentlemen, I know these conditions, and I hope to find one or two Japanese national treasure-level antique works of art here
” “Let’s go in and take a look, see what treasures are in this vault”
said, He was the first to walk into the vault.
The rest of the people followed and walked in as well.
The size of the vault is small, about 40 square meters, it is remodeled on the basis of the basement, specially reinforced and equipped with a solid vault door!
On the surrounding walls and roof, thick steel plates were plastered, all welded into one, tightly wrapping the wall behind it.
Even the floor under your feet is welded up piece by piece of steel plates, which is quite strong.
Since it is an antique shop vault, a constant temperature and humidity system is arranged here to protect the antique works of art stored here, and the internal environment is quite good.
The vault is stocked with a large number of things, which are sorted and stored everywhere.
These include a large number of porcelain, calligraphy and painting artworks, sculptures, bronzes, clocks, stone carvings, etc., as well as many miscellaneous things.
Some of these things are placed on several museum shelves and shelves, some are placed on the ground, some are hung on walls and display shelves, and so on.
They come from a variety of sources, mainly Chinese and Japanese antiques, but also some antiques from other Asian countries, as well as from European and American countries.
Of course, the authenticity of these antique artworks depends on the wisdom, and they must be identified one by one.
In addition to the so-called antique art, there are also many top watches, such as Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin.
These watches are packed in exquisite watch boxes and fill an entire museum shelf, and the number is quite amazing.
At this time, this vault is full of various items, dazzling, dizzying!
Looking at everything in front of them, everyone was a little shocked.
“As expected, there are indeed a lot of good things in Yamamoto’s antique shop, which is really a surprise,”
Xiao Ran said with a smile.
Hearing this, Qian Gu Zhenmei and they all nodded, everyone’s eyes were full of bitterness, and their eyes were a little red.
At this time, they were even secretly complaining about the emperor’s special envoy.
It was the emperor’s envoy who made the decision to give Yamamoto Antique Shop to Xiao Ran.
Otherwise, these things in front of you will most likely be divided by several top cultural institutions in Japan.
These must include the Tokyo National Museum, the Tokyo Museum of Art, and so on.
It’s a pity that it’s too late to say anything.
After quickly glancing at the situation in the vault, Xiao Ran walked to a museum shelf on the right side of the doorway.
Meanwhile.
He also took out a pair of gloves and put them on his hands.
The next moment, he had come to this museum shelf and glanced at the treasure placed on the museum.
The things on this museum shelf are basically antique works of art from China.
There are porcelain, as well as small bronzes, and Buddha statues.
Several rusty bronzes on the museum shelf instantly attracted Xiao Ran’s attention.
Immediately afterwards, he reached out and took a small bronze artifact from the museum shelf and admired it.
It is a bronze gusset with a diameter of about 15 cm and a height of about 18 cm.
Open neck, symmetrical ears, slightly bulging abdomen, lower lap feet, and a fierce gluttony on the front of each ear, which means eating.
There are also two symmetrical beast heads between the ears, the fierce wind is strong, and on the sides of the beast head are several groups of beasts looking back, with wide mouths and short bodies.
In the middle of the abdomen, there is a diamond-shaped lattice composed of cloud and thunder patterns, dotted with breast nails in between, making this fine geometric pattern also full of wild nature.
Its overall shape is regular, elegant and generous, and its casting skills are exquisite, which is a rare bronze heavy weapon.
What’s more, inside this bronze tuft, there are several inscriptions engraved, covered with a layer of bronze patina, which is not very real for a while!
Due to the recent excavation, this bronze tufts are densely covered with bronze patina, and it seems that you can still smell an earthy smell.
Xiao Ran carefully examined the bronze tufts over and over again, focusing on identifying the inscriptions inside.
He even pulled down his mask and came closer to sniff the bronze guft.
After some observation, he fell into deep thought again.
After a moment, he said with certainty:
“This is a bronze guillo from the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it is a fine work in the guan, in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the bronze gui was an important ceremonial vessel
” “Although I can’t identify several inscriptions inside for the time being, I can be sure that only the prince is qualified to use such a beautifully cast and this specification of the guanxi”
, and from the bronze patina on this bronze guan, and other excavated traces, it can be determined, The time when this treasure was unearthed should not exceed two years
” “In China, bronze is strictly forbidden to buy and sell, let alone transported abroad, and catching it is a felony of reselling national
cultural relics” “That is to say, this is a smuggling of antique cultural relics, there is no doubt that with this bronze guchi, it is enough to determine that the Kobe Yamaguchi Group is secretly smuggling antique cultural relics”
For this analysis result, everyone at the scene had no objection and nodded one after another.
Looking at Qian Gu Zhenmei again, while nodding, they all had a pained expression.
As far as the bronze gun from the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty was concerned, they had coveted it before, and they all wanted to include it in their own museums.
But they also know that this is a genuine smuggled antique artifact, and even if it is received in the museum, it cannot be taken out for exhibition.
Once this thing appears in the exhibition halls of several of their museums, it is bound to cause an uproar and even international disputes.
Knowing that this was a smuggled antique artifact, both the emperor’s envoy and the prime minister’s envoy refused their requests and advocated giving this treasure to Xiao Ran.
Such a result, Qian Gu Zhenmei they can only accept.
At the same time, they were also very curious, what agreement Xiao Ran had reached with the two envoys in the hotel lounge before?
While speaking, Xiao Ran had finished looking at the bronze shelf, and then put it back on the shelf.
The next moment, he picked up a bronze bean next to him and checked it.
Like the bronze guise just now, the inside and outside of this bronze bean are also covered with bronze patina, covering almost everywhere.
Moreover, the specifications of this bronze bean are very high, and it is also a bronze ware that only princes are qualified to use.
On this bronze bean, he found no inscriptions, only some exquisite echo patterns and phoenix bird patterns and so on.
More importantly, this bronze bean also came from the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the same age as that bronze guan.
After determining this, Xiao Ran immediately sneered and said:
“If I’m not mistaken, this bronze bean and the bronze guise next to it came from
the same tomb, and they were stolen and smuggled at the same time” “For the past three thousand years, they have been kept together and quietly buried in a certain Western Zhou
tomb in China” “Until the tomb was discovered by a group of tomb thieves, then stolen and excavated, and then smuggled out of the country and fell into the hands of the Kobe Yamaguchi Group in Japan”
“Fortunately, these two treasures eventually fell into my hands again, and when I leave Japan, I can take them back”
Hearing this, Qiangu Mami’s old faces turned red.
Those bastards of the Kobe Yamaguchi Group are selling and smuggling antique artifacts under their noses, which makes them feel somewhat embarrassed.
The next moment, Qian Gu Zhenmei suddenly thought of something, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Just as he was about to speak, Matthew’s voice suddenly came from the intercom.
“Sean, we scanned in the utility room and found a dark compartment, which can also be said to be a secret room, not a large area
” “There are a lot of metal objects hidden in the dark grid, judging from the general outline of those metal objects, it should be a large number of guns
” “Since there are guns, there must be a lot of bullets, and even other weapons and equipment, you better come and take a look
” “Ah!”
There was an exclamation at the scene, and Qian Gu Zhenmei and they were all startled and exclaimed one after another.
Although private individuals in Japan can own guns, gun control is very strict.
Even Japan’s number one gangster like Yamaguchi-gumi doesn’t have many guns in their hands.
In the eighties and nineties of the last century, in order to get a batch of guns to fight with the opponent’s gangsters, the Yamaguchi group even did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to invite Michael Jackson to give a concert in Tokyo, and took this opportunity to smuggle a batch of guns and ammunition into Japan.
But who would have thought that Yamamoto’s antique store actually hid a large number of guns and ammunition.
If confirmed, this matter is bound to cause an uproar.
Next, the Kobe Yamaguchi group is bound to be hit hard by the Japanese police.
Thinking of this, everyone immediately understood.
Why is someone willing to pay 200 million US dollars to buy Yamamoto Antique Shop just now, it seems that they want to keep this secret!
Without waiting for the exclamation to fall, Xiao Ran had already copied the walkie-talkie and said:
“Received, Matthew, I’ll go over to see the situation, don’t open that secret compartment rashly”
After speaking, he turned and walked towards the outside of the vault.
Immediately after, David and they all followed.
Qian Gu Zhenmei and several of them looked at each other, and then followed.
