Chapter 174 Katsuura River's savior

"Mr. Xie, what do you think of these three Chinese people?"

In the Japanese tent, Saburo Sei asked the thin old man who followed him with a gloomy face.

The thin old man named Jie Hongming, who is a Japanese Chinese. This time he accompanied Saburo Sei to Country A, and is a health care doctor at Saburo Sei. He saw the conversation between Saburo Sei and Cai Meilin just now, as well as the performance of Dong Berlin and Li Yu during the process. He heard Saburo Sei's questioning for a while, and said:

"Mr. Sei, I feel that this boss Cai should have an idea about the Golden Buddha, and it is even possible that he came for this Golden Buddha."

"I can see it too." Saburo Sei said, "If they want this golden Buddha, then we will be in trouble. The price of buying back the golden Buddha may be far beyond our expectations."

Jie Hongming nodded and said, "Yes, according to my observation, the bodyguard next to Boss Cai is very skilled and is definitely not an ordinary person. People who can afford such bodyguards must have a great background."

"What do you think, Kuga Jun?" Saburo Sei asked his bodyguard Kuga Shiraki again.

Shira Kuga didn't understand Chinese, so he didn't understand a word about the conversation between Saburo Sei and Cai Meilin just now, so he could only observe the performance of several people on his own. Hearing Saburo Sei asks him, he said: "I agree with Mr. Jie's judgment. That bodyguard does have some level. I don't know how likely I can fight him."

"How could it be?" Saburo Sei felt a little surprised. "Haoga, you are an elite of the Intelligence Department of the Defense Department. Can you not even beat a Chinese businessman's personal bodyguard?"

Shiraki Kuga shook his head and said, "I felt a sense of oppression in him. Out of the intuition of a warrior, I think he is a master who is comparable to me. I highly suspect that he had served in the Chinese military, and even... he is still an active military official."

Saburo Sei was stunned: "An active military personnel? Are you saying that this boss Cai concealed his identity?"

"Not necessarily." Xie Hongming interrupted, "I see his performance as a very typical businessman. Regarding his situation, we can go to Katsuurakawa to verify it later. Those who can participate in this auction should be people with some basic background."

"What do you think of Boss Cai's follower?" Saburo Sei asked again.

"That's just an ordinary guy." Jie Hongming said, "I think he is only over 20 years old. People of this age are not good at hiding themselves. The cramping feeling he just showed shows that he has no experience. It is likely that he is Boss Cai's son and nephew. This time he came out with Boss Cai to open his eyes."

Saburo Sei smiled and said, "I think this person may be of some use to us, what do you think?"

Jie Hongming understood it and nodded quickly and said, "I understand, I will find time to talk to him."

After discussing it, Jie Hongming came out of his tent and walked towards a green tent that was stuck at the edge of the camp. At the door of the green tent, a local man with a short knife in his waist stood. When Jie Hongming came, the local man whispered, meaning that Jie Hongming would not continue to move forward.

"I'm looking for Mr. Sheng. My surname is Jie, and I'm his old friend." Jie Hongming stood up and said to the locals in the dialect of Country A.

The local man didn't expect Jie Hongming to speak local language. He was stunned for a moment, then turned around and entered the tent. After a while, he walked out of the tent and said respectfully to Jie Hongming: "Mr. Jie, the boss invites you in."

Jie Hongming opened the curtain and walked into the tent. In the tent, a large screen computer was placed against one wall. Some martial arts movies were playing, which were very lively. Opposite the computer, a burly man sat on a marching bed, holding a beer in one hand and a roast chicken leg in the other. He was eating with relish. Seeing Jie Hongming come in, the man pointed to the side with the chicken leg in his hand and said:

"Mr. Xie, sit down, do you want to eat something?"

"No need, thank you Mr. Sheng." Xie Hongming sat down on the stool next to him. He glanced at the contents on the screen and said with a smile: "Mr. Sheng is so elegant."

The big man was Katsuurakawa, the leader of the Zhongdu gang. More than ten years ago, Katsuurakawa was chased by his enemies and was seriously injured. He fled into the dense forest and almost died. As a result, he was lucky to meet Jie Hongming, who was collecting herbs in the dense forest. Jie Hongming used his exclusive secret medicine to save Katsuurakawa, and thus became a relationship. Later, Katsuurakawa reorganized his power, killed the enemy, and became the leader of this area. He had been obsessed with Jie Hongming's life-saving grace.

The Toshido gang of Katsuurakawa is engaged in smuggling and stealing cultural relics, which is not much related to Jie Hongming's profession. However, Jie Hongming is a Chinese medicine doctor and often needs to collect special Chinese herbal medicines produced in this area. With Katsuurakawa's help, he didn't need to fly over by himself every time. According to Jie Hongming's instructions, Katsuurakawa arranged for local people to help collect herbs, and sent it to Japan after processing. Jie Hongming was generous and paid a considerable fee every time, so the cooperation between the two parties has always been very pleasant.

This time, it was Xie Hongming who heard that the Toshito gang was going to auction the Golden Buddha. Then he told his backer Sei Takesaku in Japan, an old man who had held a senior position in the Japanese government. Nearly a hundred years old Takesaku Sei was extremely excited to learn about the news and immediately asked Xie Hongming to take his youngest son Saburo Sei to Country A, claiming that he would buy the Golden Buddha back at any cost.

Xie Hongming did not inquire about the relationship between the Golden Buddha and Takesaku Sei. However, after hearing that the Golden Buddha was originally a Chinese cultural relic, Xie Hongming guessed some of the mystery. You must know that Takesaku Sei was a lower-level officer of the Japanese invaders back to Japan by the time. Maybe this Golden Buddha was snatched back to Japan from China by himself.

Jie Hongming went to Japan with his parents when he was young, and has been growing up in Japan since then. He is now in his 60s. He can speak fluent Chinese, but in his heart, he does not regard himself as a Chinese at all, but thinks he is a complete Japanese. Takesaku Sei asked him to help Saburo Sei buy the Golden Buddha back to Japan, so Jie Hongming naturally agreed, which led to their trip to A Country this time.

According to Saburo Sei's thoughts, since Jie Hongming had saved Katsuurakawa's life, he simply found Katsuurakawa and asked to buy the Golden Buddha at an appropriate price, which also saved the trouble of auction. However, Jie Hongming did not agree to this request. He knew that although he had such a friendship with Katsuurakawa, this friendship was very fragile in front of money. If it was a difference of 350,000 US dollars, maybe Katsuurakawa would give Jie Hongming a face, but he would not conduct an auction and trade the Golden Buddha at an estimated price. Katsuurakawa would not agree.

Takesaku Sei is determined to win this golden Buddha and gives up at all costs. His family is very wealthy, and it is nothing to spend millions of dollars to complete the transaction. Takesaku Sei has also asked someone to evaluate the price of the golden Buddha, and the conclusion he got is similar to what **** Aoi learned, which is about 5 million US dollars. Saburo Sei came this time and prepared a quota of 6 million US dollars to buy this golden Buddha. If there were no special competitors, the price should be enough.

Whatever is scary comes. Today, when Xie Hongming saw Cai Meilin and his party in that big tent, he felt something was wrong. Although Cai Meilin covered up, he still showed many clues, indicating that he had a special idea of ​​the Golden Buddha. In this way, the situation of bidding for the Golden Buddha changed. If it was not done well, let alone 6 million, even 10 million US dollars might not be able to be won.

If the final cost exceeds 10 million US dollars, Saburo Sei may be crazy. Takesaku Sei will also distrust Xie Hongming, and may even suspect that he colluded with Katsuurakawa and joined forces to trap Takesaku Sei. Jie Hongming's status in Japan was given by Takesaku Sei. If he offended this backer, his life would be sad in the future. Thinking of this, he changed his original intention and decided to come to Katsuurakawa for a talk.

Seeing Hong Ming's desire to speak but stop, Katsuurakawa grabbed a wireless mouse, clicked a few times, turned off the video that was playing on the computer, then sat upright, and said to Xie Hongming: "Mr. Jie, aren't you here with the Japanese this time? Why do you have something to come to me?"

Xie Hongming nodded and said, "I want to ask you for someone."

"Who?"

"Among the merchants who came this time, there was a man named Cai Meilin who was from mainland China. Do you have any detailed information about him here?" Xie Hongming asked.

Katsuurakawa frowned and said, "Mr. Xie, if you ask this, I will break the rules. I cannot provide these information to others. This is the industry rule."

Xie Hongming said: "I don't want to break your rules. I just want to ask if this person is a real businessman or an official Chinese person?"

Katsuurakawa said: "I can tell you this. He is a businessman and must have nothing to do with the official. I have checked it. He also participated in our Zhongdu auction more than ten years ago. This time he introduced him to an old customer and has a very good credit. He was able to introduce this boss Cai, so he naturally knew the origin of Boss Cai."

"Oh, then I'll be relieved." Jie Hongming said. The circle of cultural relics is not too big. If Cai Meilin was a pretend businessman, she would definitely be able to be identified. Since he has a recommendation person and had participated in Zhongdu's auction more than ten years ago, there must be no problem.

"Does Mr. Sheng know about his assets?" Xie Hongming asked again.
