N-A-A Chapter 759
Chapter 759
The situation in Yamamoto's antique shop is still the same, and not much has changed.
The goods that were originally displayed in antique shops, whether they were antique works of art or not, and what their value was, were basically placed in the original place.
The many seals affixed to various museum shelves and display cases, as well as in various other places, were removed by the police.
The Tokyo police did not do anything here, not that they did not want to, but did not dare!
The police officers in charge of handling this case in the Metropolitan Police Department knew that Xiao Ran knew very well the situation in this antique shop and knew what was here.
Not only that, but he also shot high-definition video throughout the process, including footage of Katsuyoshi Yamamoto.
In the high-definition videos provided to the police as evidence, most of the goods displayed in the antique shop can be clearly seen.
In this case, even if those guys in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department are bold and greedy, they dare not play any tricks!
After all, no one knows if Xiao Ran has more and more comprehensive video materials in his hands.
In fact, he did have the video footage that Turner and his family captured through the surveillance system.
More importantly, he knew what was in the antique shop.
Ordinary things are just that, if the few treasures he focuses on disappear, then the Tokyo police will be unlucky!
In addition to removing all the seals, the Tokyo police also removed all surveillance probes inside and outside the antique store, removed the computers in the store, and brought them back for investigation.
Even so, the first time he entered the antique store, Xiao Ran secretly opened the perspective and quickly looked through this antique store!
In perspective, he did not find hidden pinhole cameras, other surveillance monitoring devices, etc.
It's relatively clean, so you can start your next step with confidence!
In the following time, Xiao Ran walked around the first floor of the antique store and checked the goods displayed here.
But he did not rush to point out which goods were placed on the shelves, on the floor and in the display cases, which were real antique works of art, which were high imitations and fakes, etc.
As for the modern crafts and tourist souvenirs, etc., he is even more inconspicuous.
After checking the situation on the first floor, he was ready to go to the basement to check the situation in the basement.
Of course, the main target is the stuff that's in the vault.
At this moment, Anthony's voice suddenly came from the invisible earphones.
"Sean, I just received a message from that Turner guy, Aida really let there be action!"
"That guy is very cunning, he used a disposable mobile phone to call the boss hidden behind
" "After seeing this scene through the surveillance screen, Turner immediately expanded the monitoring range and monitored all the calls made from that area
" "Through some technical means, they finally screened out Aida Mato's mobile phone number, and eavesdropped on the second half of the call"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran's expression suddenly changed, It became a little dignified.
It seems that in the future, when I talk to the outside world, I have to be more careful.
Even if all your phones have undergone special encryption modifications, be careful of being eavesdropped!
These agents of the CIA really don't eat dry food!
He didn't make a sound, he continued to listen.
"Through the second half of Aida Mato's phone call, Turner they quickly locked up the gangster boss hiding behind him!"
"This behind-the-scenes gangster boss is the head of the Osaka branch of the Kobe Yamaguchi Group, and has been entrenched in Osaka, Japan for more than thirty years!"
"Aida Shinrang was sent to Tokyo by that guy, and he has been in Tokyo for more than twenty years, and he is extremely hidden, and almost no one knows his true identity!"
"As for the Aida antique shop, it is one of the highest stolen and money laundering dens of the Kobe Yamaguchi Group, and even the dead Morita does not know the existence of Aida Majō
" "In addition to these, Turner also listened to some things about the smuggled antique artifacts, and he will go to the hotel to report to you in person later!"
Anthony gave a quick introduction to the situation, down to the smallest detail.
After listening to the report, Xiao Ran immediately walked to the side, opened the distance between them and Qian Gu Zhenmei, and then turned on the microphone of the walkie-talkie and whispered:
"Received, Anthony, this discovery is very important, similar to my conjecture!"
"Tell Turner those guys, give me an eye on Malet Aida and the head of the Osaka branch of the Kobe Yamaguchi Group, and don't relax for a moment!"
"When the Yamamoto antique shop is cleaned up, let's go back to the hotel, and then I'll listen to Turner's report
" "Received, Sean, I'll tell Turner!"
Anthony answered and ended the call.
Xiao Ran turned around and walked back, and said to Qian Gu Zhenmei:
"Gentlemen, let's go to the basement and see what we can find"
After speaking, he looked at Matthew and them.
"Guys, split up an exploration team and follow me down with a metal detector and a ground penetrating radar
" "Understood, Sean"
Matthew and the others answered in unison, and immediately took action.
Then, Xiao Ran took Qian Gu Zhenmei and them and walked along the stairs to the basement.
At this time, Qian Gu was really beautiful, and they were all secretly remorseful.
What made them regret was that they handed over Yamamoto Antique Shop to Xiao Ran too early.
Due to the lack of time, and everyone's attention was on the Juyi Wenzong, he wanted to exchange that national treasure as soon as possible, so as not to dream too much at night.
Neither the Japanese Ministry of Education, nor the National Police Agency and Tokyo Police, nor Mami Chantani had time to explore Yamamoto's antique shop carefully, and they didn't even expect it.
They just checked what was on the surface, and hurriedly gave the antique shop to Xiao Ran in exchange for his favor and reached a deal with Juyi Wen Zong.
Judging from Xiao Ran's current actions, Yamamoto's antique store may hide some unknown secrets, and even hide some unknown and priceless top antique artworks.
Thinking of this, Qian Gu was really beautiful, and they all pinched their thighs with regret, but they didn't dare to show it.
While speaking, Xiao Ran and they had already gone down to the basement of Yamamoto's antique shop.
This basement is about the same size as the first floor, but a third of the area has been converted into a garage.
The remaining two-thirds of the area is divided into separate rooms.
Directly opposite the staircase is a warehouse with several shelves and shelves, as well as some boxes of various sizes.
Those few museum shelves and shelves are filled with all kinds of goods, quite a few quantities.
The situation in those boxes, it is estimated that it is similar, should contain various goods.
As for the authenticity and value of those goods, it is unknown, and it depends on the eyes of each person.
Next to this warehouse, there is a utility room, full of all kinds of sundries.
Then a lounge, followed by a vault.
As in the case upstairs, many of the seals that were originally affixed here have been removed.
The monitoring probes installed in the basement have also been removed.
After entering the basement, Xiao Ran quickly scanned the situation here, and then walked straight into the warehouse facing the stairs.
The rest of the people followed in one after another, looking at the situation here.
The next moment, Xiao Ran suddenly reached out and lifted the wooden box on the floor and took a look at the situation inside.
Inside the wooden box is a stone carved Buddha statue, and it is an eight-faced Buddha, which should be from Thailand and Myanmar.
This Buddha statue is also an antique cultural relic with a history of four to five hundred years, but the market is average.
Buddha statues like this from Southeast Asia are common in Japanese antique markets, and most of them are smuggled antique artifacts.
Because Southeast Asian countries do not attach much importance to the protection of cultural relics, they rarely carry out international recourse for stolen cultural relics.
When the Japanese police see such antique cultural relics, they basically turn a blind eye and are unwilling to deal with it.
Due to the large number and average cultural value, the price of this Southeast Asian Buddha statue is not high.
Compared with the Buddha statues from China, these Southeast Asian Buddha statues can be said to be the price of cabbage.
Xiao Ran glanced at the eight-faced Buddha in the box, and then said with a sneer:
"This is obviously a smuggled antique cultural relics, my guess is correct, Yamamoto antique shop is operating smuggled antique cultural relics" "The Kobe Yamaguchi group that controls Yamamoto antique shop behind it is obviously suspected of smuggling antique cultural relics, and the police should investigate it well"
Hearing this, Qian Gu Zhenmei's old faces were red, somewhat embarrassed.
Yamamoto's antique shop has existed under their noses for so long, and they don't know that this is an antique shop controlled by gangsters to sell stolen goods and launder money, can it not be embarrassing?
Or maybe they have already discovered some clues, or even know the details of this antique store, but just pretend not to know!
Whether they knew it before or not, it doesn't matter now!
While speaking, Xiao Ran opened a wooden box again.
Inside this wooden box are several small bronze sculptures, but they are all fakes and of little value.
Xiao Ran glanced at the contents of the box, and then covered the box again.
Immediately afterwards, he came to the museum shelf next to him and picked up a piece of porcelain from the museum shelf to admire it.
This is a blue-and-white lotus-patterned garlic bottle, but it is porcelain from the Qing Guangxu period, and the level and value of production are relatively average.
Of course, this is for him.
For ordinary collectors, this piece of porcelain is still worth collecting.
Just as he put down the blue and white garlic bottle, Matthew and they took the exploration tools and also went down to the basement.
Xiao Ran looked at them and immediately gave instructions.
"Guys, scan all the places in this basement, including the garage, and see what you find
" "If you find something, notify me as soon as possible, I'll go over and check the situation
" The voice fell, Matthew and they immediately responded in unison:
"Okay, Sean"
With that, the guys took action.
