Bind to the collection system, I became a national treasure

Chapter 240 Catching the Mole

When the Niu brothers realized that what they had stolen was actually a national treasure, they were extremely excited and had no intention of handing it over to the country. They immediately used their previous channels to sell stolen goods and smuggled this national treasure, a tripod-shaped bronze artifact, to Manzhouli.

Over the years, the Niu brothers have always had their own stable customer base. Most of these people are wealthy overseas people. They don’t care where these things come from, they only care about the quality of these things. Moreover, these people are usually very rich and are very happy to trade.

However, today is different from the past. The price of the national treasure-level tripod-shaped bronze ware is completely incomparable to the things they sold before. Therefore, after arriving in Manzhouli, the two brothers never acted rashly. They quietly used their previous stolen goods sales channels to find target customers who were capable of purchasing the tripod-shaped bronze ware.

It's just that this process is a little difficult.

In the minds of the Niu brothers, this tripod-shaped bronze ware is worth at least 80 million US dollars, and the target group who can easily spend 80 million US dollars to buy antiques is obviously not within the reach of the two tomb robbers.

The two were unwilling to sell at a low price.

Selling high, the two of them didn’t know each other.

Because of this, the Niu brothers have been in Manzhouli for almost a month, but there has been no progress. They live in fear every day guarding their precious treasures. Now the patience of the two brothers is almost exhausted.

Niu Jianxiong stood in front of the tripod-shaped bronze vessel. After looking at it silently for a few minutes, he picked up the dust-proof cloth again, rewrapped it, and finally re-stacked the surrounding debris around the tripod-shaped bronze vessel. To disguise and cover up.

"Arong, the last five days."

"If we can't find a suitable buyer again, we will contact Fei Ge and give him 20% of the profit and ask him to help us find a buyer."

"I've been feeling a little uneasy lately. The less I earn, the less I earn. Even if we split out 20% of the profits, the remaining 80% will be enough for us to spend the rest of our lives happily."

Niu Jianxiong sighed, turned around and looked at Niu Jianrong and said this.

"Ok."

"Now it seems that this is the only way."

Niu Jianrong nodded slightly. Although he looked a little unwilling, he did not refute Niu Jianxiong's proposal. Apparently, he had had enough of such a fearful life.

"Lock the door and go to sleep."

"It's been uneasy outside for the past two days, so let's stay at home."

Niu Jianxiong patted his younger brother on the shoulder, gave a few brief instructions, and then walked out of the storage room first, heading towards the bedroom upstairs...

......

December 12th, in the evening.

Manzhouli, in the most luxurious Shangri-La presidential suite.

Bai Xi and Xiao Rui sat around a round table with a steaming Imperial Capital copper pot in front of them and five or six plates of top-quality lamb beside them.

"Tsk tsk..."

“It always feels weird to eat hot pot in a hotel like this.”

"Isn't this the normal way to open it with steak and red wine?"

Bai Xi said with some emotion as he put the mutton into the Dijing copper pot without mercy.

"You've been brainwashed by those unscrupulous TV dramas, forming a stereotype." Xiao Rui fished a beef ball out of the copper pot and shook his head. "Who says that in a high-end hotel, you have to have steak and red wine? You're asking for trouble if you're restricted by your own money."

"Besides, Manchuria is most famous for its beef and mutton. What else can we eat if not these?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xi stopped eating and thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Buzz~"

Just when Bai Xi and the other person were busy eating, Xiao Rui's cell phone suddenly rang. Xiao Rui answered the call, and after a brief conversation, a look of obvious joy appeared on his face.

"what happened?"

Bai Xi raised his head and asked Xiao Rui.

"Miss, we found the person!"

Xiao Rui hung up the phone without hiding anything. Instead, he raised his eyebrows at Bai Xi and told her the answer she wanted to hear most.

"really?"

When Bai Xi heard this, a look of joy appeared on his face.

"real!"

Xiao Rui nodded heavily.

"Then let's go now!"

Bai Xi put down his chopsticks and was about to get up and walk out.

"Miss, please finish your meal first. My colleague will send the information to you later. You will have enough time to check it out before leaving."

"Don't worry, they are all watching you, you can't get away!"

Xiao Rui did not move. Instead, he reached out to stop Bai Xi and spoke.

"All right....."

.......

Two hours later.

The sky became completely dark.

Bai Xi was sitting in the study of the suite, holding a thick document in his hand, and Xiao Rui was sitting beside him.

"Miss, the person in the photo you provided is named Niu Jianxiong, 46 years old, and originally from Kaifeng, Nanhe Province. He was imprisoned for trafficking cultural relics a few years ago. After serving four years, he opened an antique shop in his hometown."

"The man you see now is Niu Jianrong. He's a brother of Niu Jianxiong, 40 years old. He was unemployed a few years ago, but now he's a travel blogger with tens of thousands of followers on Weibo. Our investigation shows he was once dealt with by Canadian police for getting into a fight while drunk."

"Right now, the Niu brothers are hiding in Villa No. 76 in Block S. Our people have already set up surveillance around that area, and we used a drone's thermal imaging camera to conduct an aerial survey and discovered that the Niu brothers are hiding inside."

While Bai Xi was looking at the information, Xiao Rui was reporting to Bai Xi.

"S Block?"

"Is this the most chaotic neighborhood in Manchuria that you told me about?"

When Bai Xi heard this, she raised her brows slightly and asked Xiao Rui.

"Yes."

"After dark, that side is like a real-life Vice City. Even patrol officers from Manchuria wouldn't go there unless there was something special going on."

Xiao Rui nodded, confirming her guess.

Bai Xi raised her hand to check the time. It was nine o'clock in the evening. She narrowed her eyes slightly, looking thoughtful. Finally, she said, "Tell them to get ready. We'll go catch the mole in three hours."

"Miss, are you going there in person?"

Xiao Rui showed some hesitation.

"I have to handle this matter personally."

"Don't worry, we are officials, and this is our territory."

"The Niu brothers are not Sun Monkeys, how can we let them turn the world upside down in our hands?"

Bai Xi knew that Xiao Rui was worried about her safety, so she smiled and comforted him.

"All right……"

"Miss, when we get to the scene, I hope you won't be impulsive. You must wait until we are sure the scene is safe before you get out of the car."

Seeing Bai Xi's firm attitude, Xiao Rui had no choice but to compromise.

"No problem~ You have the final say~"

Bai Xi responded with a smile.
