Chapter 397

After half a ring, Nangong Zhenhua said to holkes, "if my family doesn't want to come to Europe, I will buy all your Chinese collections with my own property within one year."

"Well, that's easy to say. If you can really make 7 billion Chinese dollars in a year without any help, I will promise you With a cold smile, he immediately called John, his personal consultant, and signed an agreement with Nangong Zhenhua.

The agreement has no legal effect, but it is full of "bloody kidnapping."

After the signing of the agreement, John whispered in halks' ear while he was smoking a cigar: "Sir, Nangong Zhenhua has a very high network in China. If there is a giant businessman willing to help him, it is not impossible to get 70 Huaxia coins a year?"

"Ha ha, that's too difficult, even if it's a powerful family in China. He's just a cultural celebrity."

"Even if he does, I'm not saying a premise that no one can help him. Even if he is lucky enough to get 7 billion without help, we can "find out" the evidence that someone has offered him help. Or, let's have a more hateful one, directly design and swallow up his money. "

"You are right. I am worried." John said something, and then asked, "since we have already let Nangong Zhenhua into the trap, is the humiliation plan going on as usual?"

"Of course, it has to be carried out. Since Nangong Zhenhua is the most powerful expert in Cultural Relics Identification in China, he has to be trampled under his feet to show the dignity of great France." 'said Holmes, grimly.

"I see." John nodded.

"Well, go down and make arrangements."

Hawkes waved John away. Then he stood up and went to Nangong Zhenhua and said with a smile:

"Mr. Nangong Zhenhua, I really didn't think that you would really like to sacrifice your relatives for the sake of national justice. I have more and more respect for you. I have a rare collection of China on my hand, which is a precious sword. I've looked for numerous experts in the study of Chinese culture, but no one knows what kind of knife it is. If it's convenient for you, I hope you can help me identify. "

Qin long listened to everything in his ears and quietly reminded Nangong Zhenhua, "Hua Lao, that holkes is so arrogant, I'm afraid there is fraud in this."

"It's OK. At least he doesn't dare to kill me." Nangong Zhenhua's face was a little grim. After answering Qin long in a low voice, he turned to holkes and said, "if the content of our transaction includes this rare treasure, I can naturally go and have a look."

"Ha ha, the agreement is not clear. The content of the transaction includes all my Chinese collections. Naturally, the sword is also included." Hawkes chuckled.

"Mr. holkes, please show me the way." Nanshen said.

With a faint smile on his face, Holmes led the party out into the room.

"Brother Tan, everything in this high-end exhibition today is private?" On the way, Qin long asked Tan pan.

"Most of them are the private collections of some famous European collectors, but there are also a few things in Swiss museums, only very few. Of course, all the things in this small exhibition hall should be owned by that holkes. In order to hold this exhibition, he has contracted out the whole hall 5 Tan pan explained, could not help but have a cold look at the front of holkes.

"Well." Qin long nodded and said nothing more. After passing through a door, he went to the innermost room of more than ten square meters.

I saw a large display cabinet in the room. In the middle of the display cabinet, there was a short knife in the shape of a crescent moon, half shorter than an ordinary knife, but longer than a large dagger. The blade and handle are perfectly curved. It's a good knife at first sight. However, the blade is covered with rust, showing a dark brown yellow color, and it looks a little ordinary. In most cognitive abilities, it's very difficult for a perfect knife to rust, even if it rusts.

However, Nangong Zhenhua was very interested in the knife. He looked around the display cabinet for a week and said to holkes, "can you take it out and have a look?"

"Of course." Holkes immediately took out the key to open the display cabinet, then took out the sword, and then handed it to Nangong Zhenhua.

Nangong Zhenhua carefully took the sword. First he looked at the handle carefully, then at the blade. His face was extremely serious. Finally, he looked between the handle and the blade.

Take a look at the sword side, but there are three fuzzy handwriting on it.

He wiped it lightly with a strip of cloth, and though he did not wipe away any rust, he wiped out the ashes from the three handwriting. Although the three rusty handwriting is still not very clear, it can be seen completely. There was a flash of deep surprise in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

While Nangong Zhenhua was identifying the sword, John returned to the side of holkes, lowered his voice and said to him, "Sir, I have arranged it."Holkes nodded and sighed deliberately. Then he asked Nangong Zhenhua, "even Nangong Zhenhua can't see what kind of knife it is. It seems that no one can identify it."

"Well, Mr. Holmes, I can see what a knife it is." Nangong Zhenhua gave a faint smile and raised baihuahua's head to look at the eyes of holkes.

"Oh?" "What kind of knife is this?" he asked

"This is a unique sword! It's rare in the world. It's priceless! " Nangong Zhenhua raised his voice and said, "this Dao is one of the dragon scale daggers."

"Baipi dagger? Dragon scale sword? What kind of knife is it? I haven't heard of it With a hint of teasing in his eyes, Holmes asked, "where and how?"

"Cao Pi, the emperor of Wei Wen in the Three Kingdoms period of China, once asked people to make three precious swords, which are recorded in Dian Lun. The texture of one Dao is similar to that of hard ice, called Qinggang; the second one is like Chaoyang, which is called Yangwen; the third one is similar to the pattern on the dragon, so it is called dragon scale."

With that, Nangong Zhenhua took a look at the sword and continued, "this dagger has a beautiful arc, which perfectly matches the lines on the Chinese dragon. In addition, the three characters on the side of the handle are exactly the three characters of dragon scale sword. But because it is an ancient bird and insect book, very few people recognize it. "

"What's the value of this knife?" Asked Holmes with a faint smile.

Nangong Zhenhua continued: "Cao Pi is very fond of swords and swords. He has made numerous people of Ping Life. Actually, there are more than three hundred PI swords. Of course, Qinggang, Yangwen and Longling are the most expensive. The value of a knife was immeasurable before it was unearthed. However, in recent years, several hundred daggers have appeared, because they have been snowed by several famous collectors, so there are few rumors in the Chinese antique industry. "

"Do you mean that because some people have other Baipi daggers in their collection, the value of this dragon scale is deducted?" Asked holkes, still.

"It's true that some of the value has been reduced, but even so, because it has been owned by the emperor for nearly 2000 years, it can also sell 10 million Chinese coins at auction." Nangong Zhenhua thought and said.

"Hehe, this Dao is really valuable. It can be worth 10 million Chinese dollars! However, if converted into euro, it will be more than 1 million euro. " "However, this has surprised me. After all, only a few Chinese swords in history have ever made such a high price. After all, Napoleon's Sabre was only worth a few million euros. "

As soon as his voice dropped, old Tony's eyebrows shook and he asked, "in that case, why did Mr. Holmes put this knife here again?" Originally, old Tony had great respect for holkes, but he didn't like his behavior before.

"Ha ha, I have a habit of keeping things I don't know, even if I think they are not worth money." "Since this knife is very valuable for your Chinese coins, if I give you three questions, and if you can answer two of the last question correctly, I will give you this knife."

"Is that serious?" Nangong Zhenhua asked quietly.

"Seriously, of course. There's no old Tony here to testify." Said Holmes with a smile.

"I will testify." Said old Tony.

Tan pan listened to it and reached Nangong Zhenhua's ear. He lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Hua, even if this knife is worthless, this Hawks will never give it to you so kindly!"

"Even if this Dao is worthless, it is also Chinese. If you have a chance to take it back, why not take it back?" Nangong Zhenhua said solemnly.

"All right." Tan Pan had to compromise.

"Mr. Hua, do you really decide?" At this time, Qin long stepped forward and asked Nangong Zhenhua.

"Of course." Nangong Zhenhua said affirmatively, then turned to Mr. halks and said, "please ask Mr. Holmes to work out the topic."

"Let me do it." Hawkes chuckled, handed the knife into John's hand, led the party out of the exhibition hall, and walked to another door.

"Sir, do you think this knife is really dragon scale?" On the way, John whispered to Holmes, "suppose Nangong Zhenhua gets away with it, do you really give him this knife?"

"Ha ha, how can it be? Even if he can pass the first two tests, the last one will surely fail." "To say the least, even if he has passed three questions, even if it is not dragon scale, the value of this knife, even if it is not dragon scale, can not exceed Napoleon's sword. It's only a few million euros, and it's nothing to give him."
