Chapter 73 [The situation has changed]
··
Because it took too long to identify the painting, when Luo Jin left the 3D auction company, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening. Although the company's boss repeatedly invited Luo Jin to have supper, Luo Jin still chose to refuse.
After getting into his car, Luo Jin immediately called Han Ruzhong.
"Fatty, what's going on over Cheng Fei?"
"Boss, don't worry, I've been staring at him. He didn't go home after get off work, so he opened a room at the Kaiyuan International Hotel next to the company. It seems that his creditor is pushing him very tightly."
"Where are you?" Luo Jin had already started the car, but now he turned off the engine. He pulled out the key and got out of the car directly. Han Ruzhong told him that he was also in Kaiyuan International Hotel and lived next to Cheng Fei.
When he walked out of the parking lot, Luo Jin saw the Kaiyuan International Hotel with a floor height of more than 40 floors at a glance. This is a five-star hotel. Hiding here, at least his personal safety should be guaranteed.
According to the room number that Han Ruzhong mentioned, Luo Jin took the elevator to the 23rd floor. When he entered the room, Han Ruzhong seemed a little nervous. As soon as Luo Jingang came in, he hurriedly closed the door.
Luo Jin took a look and knew why Han Ruzhong was nervous. This room was a simple business standard room. Han Ruzhong hung a huge black object on the wall, which looked like a pot. Luo Jin knew that this was a high-power radio. Although the effective distance was not long, it was enough to receive all the sounds in Cheng Fei's room next door through the wall. Even if Cheng Fei went to the toilet to pee, Han Ruzhong could hear it.
Moreover, there is a bracket at the foot of the bed, and there is something on the bracket that looks like a combination of a telescope and a SLR camera. This is a thermal infrared sensor. Through this, the situation in Cheng Fei's room can be roughly detected, and at least it can clearly simulate Cheng Fei's body shape so as to avoid changing people in the middle.
Luo Jin leaned over and took a look. In the lens of the thermal infrared sensor, there was a man about 1.75 meters tall. He was sitting at this time, and there was a continuous heat-sensing image in front of his face slowly moving upwards.
"He's having a meal?" Luo Jin said casually.
Han Ruzhong handed Luo Jin a pair of headphones: "You finally came, I'm really a little too busy to do it alone."
Luo Jin put on his headphones, but he felt a little strange about Han Ruzhong's words. He was just monitoring Cheng Fei. What could he be too busy with?
But soon, Luo Jin noticed that on the computer screen on the desk, it seemed that he was monitoring the living room of a certain apartment, and there was also a pair of headphones next to it. It seemed that while Han Ruzhong was monitoring Cheng Fei, he was also monitoring other people.
"What's that?" Luo Jin asked.
"I originally thought Cheng Fei would go home after get off work, so while you were busy in the 3D company in the afternoon, I ran to his living room and installed a camera to facilitate surveillance? Who would have thought that this guy didn't go home, but opened a room here. I guess the creditor was too tight and would come to him. Haven't we found the information about the creditor? There is almost no information about the creditor on the Internet, so I wanted to see what the creditor looked like.
After a moment, Cheng Fei's wife opened the door, then stood in the living room and exchanged a few words, then went out together. He probably went to have dinner first after hearing the conversation. But something was wrong. We always regarded Cheng Fei as the victim, thinking that his creditor would be unfavorable to him. But now it seems that his creditor is really an honest person, and he doesn't look fierce when he comes to the door. Instead, he chatted with Cheng Fei's wife for a while and said he would invite his wife to dinner."
Luo Jin was stunned when he heard this, and information about Cheng Fei began to appear in his mind.
Cheng Fei, now 36 years old, is not a local, and does not study here in college. He is also a scholarly family. His parents are both old intellectuals, but he suffered a lot in the turmoil of the past ten years, so Cheng Fei did not pursue further studies too much in his studies. However, the old scholarly family has some understanding of antiques, calligraphy and painting art and other things. Cheng Fei also knows a little bit after being influenced by his own experience.
After graduation, Cheng Fei came to Shenpu alone. With his good eloquence and understanding of art, he entered the 3D auction company. He was just an ordinary employee at the beginning, but later he became an auctioneer. Now he is a prestigious auctioneer in this city. The situation is actually pretty good in all aspects.
In this industry, he will naturally be involved in artworks. Although his income is good, his hands are often millions or tens of millions. His annual salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars that year did not seem so generous. So he also began to learn to trade artworks from others. Some time ago, he became interested in a bronze ware for sacrifices, which was very valuable. Although his income is good, his annual salary is only hundreds of thousands. His wife resigned two years ago and prepared to have a child at home. The child was not born, but the expenses were much higher. Apart from that house, the real ones that could be obtained were only one hundred million. He mortgaged the house and borrowed more than one million from the bank, but he was still missing more than two million, so he started to borrow money.
I thought I had found a leak, but the other party's bronze ware was unknown. Cheng Fei thought that he worked in a 3D auction company and had enough ways to auction the bronze ware. The profit was at least doubled between the in and out. Who would have thought that after paying the money, it would be a hypothetical that it was a friend who used it to identify it, so Mo Changqing helped him take a look.
This thing is really good. Even Mo Changqing had not doubted that the quality of this thing was too intact, and the testing from those technological means alone would be a standard Shang Dynasty bronze ware, age testing, etc., which was not wrong at all. However, Mo Changqing always felt that the inscription on the bronze ware was too intact, and the things that had been more than three thousand years ago had been handed over several times, and the probability of preserving such a good quality was almost zero. It was precisely because of this suspicion that Mo Changqing was careful and checked it more and more carefully, and then found that in a very inconspicuous small corner of the inner wall of this bronze ware, there were some bulges like characters.
This is not a problem for professional inspection. Mo Changqing quickly copied the character-like bulges on the inner wall. When he saw that it was actually several Arabic numerals plus two capital letters. With these Arabic numerals and English letters, this bronze ware was undoubtedly considered a fake.
Cheng Fei was not giving up and argued that the bulge here might be added later, indicating distrust of Mo Changqing. This was undoubtedly an insult to Mo Changqing. The result was that Mo Changqing was angry and said he wanted to break the thing. If he found that the character was added later, he would compensate him according to the price.
As a result of the break, Cheng Fei suddenly discovered that the fetal heart of the thing was actually cemented, and he didn't know how the counterfeiter used cement to compare the proportion of bronze ware. At this moment, Cheng Fei felt like he was lost.
I don’t care about my own more than one million yuan and the money I owe to the bank. I think I pay the tuition fee in total, but the more than two million he borrowed became his biggest concern.
Early in the morning, Han Ruzhong received Cheng Fei's ID number. After a brief investigation, he found out about the matter. He quickly found out that the person who lent him money was a local contractor, and the money was a project payment that the contractor had just received, and most of it was the wages of his migrant workers.
The impression of the contractor is always a bit dark, otherwise it is really called "not pleased" at both ends, so Luo Jin and Han Ruzhong almost felt that Cheng Fei should be the victim after seeing these information.
"What does that creditor look like?" Luo Jin asked.
"I am in my thirties, and I am about Cheng Fei's age. I look a little weak. I don't look like a contractor, but I look like a weak and sickly rural teacher. I wear a pair of glasses and speak to Cheng Fei's wife very politely, without any aggressiveness. I keep sighing, as if he is not a creditor but a debtor."
"Click the video out and I'll see..." Luo Jin was very surprised. After Han Ruzhong recalled the video out, he just glanced at it and was sure that Han Ruzhong was not wrong at all.
"Have you found out about this person's identity?"
Han Ruzhong shook his head: "The image quality is too poor, and he is very ordinary, and he has no accent when speaking. Except for learning from Cheng Fei's information that the man should be a contractor, he really didn't find it at all. But it will definitely be found tonight."
Luo Jin nodded, and there was also a movement in the next room. A piece of antique music started, and then Cheng Fei also stood up, took a few steps and bent down. The music disappeared, and instead was Cheng Fei's voice.
"Didn't you tell you not to call me at this time?" Cheng Fei's voice deliberately lowered, but it still couldn't hide his anxiety.
The other party didn't know what he said, but Cheng Fei's breathing obviously became heavier with the other party's words.
"No more selling? What are you kidding? I found the customer for you. They took the risk to accept your stuff, and now they rushed over with cash in accordance with your request. You tell me now that you won't sell it?"
It can be heard that Cheng Fei was already very angry, but this anger seemed to be mixed with more helplessness.
The other party said something again, but Cheng Fei obviously didn't let the other party finish his sentence, and interrupted directly: "Don't look for any messy reasons with me. Has someone given you a higher price? Where are you now, let's talk about it!"
The situation has changed!
