Lord Mo has made him obediently favored

Chapter 373 Exploitation (2)

As Ji Yinian guessed, many items have already changed owners, and they don't know how to record them, so they don't know who bought them.

And some won't come out and buy it in person.

As for Ah Jin, he stayed at Locke's house all night and found no suspicious person.

Locke.Bangjie went out to the company normally the next day, but the painting entered Locke's house and never came out again.

"Locke's house is so big, it's entirely possible that there are other entrances and exits." Ji Yinian pursed his lips.

"I've checked Locke's house. They do have several entrances and exits, but I have all monitored them, and I haven't seen any suspicious people coming in and out. Moreover, I detected that the painting is still in Locke's house."

Ji Yinian frowned, "You mean, no one came to pick up the painting?"

"Yes."

Ah Jin showed his wrist, which looked like a watch.

He clicked on it, "Madam, this is the monitoring of the various entrances and exits of the Locke family. This is where the painting is located. This painting was taken back from Locke. Bangjie put it in this position, and it never moved again."

Looking at the small watch dial, Ji Yinian bit her lip, "Could it be that I was thinking wrong?"

"No." Shangguan Mo walked out, "The Locke family has no interest in these calligraphy and paintings at all. And they are not keen on collecting these antiques. For them, nothing is more important than money. Therefore, he will not be inexplicable I went to buy a calligraphy and painting."

Ji Yinian was even more puzzled, "If that's the case, why didn't anyone else come to talk to him?"

"Aren't you and Bess so high-profile at Moxi's house yesterday? If I were that person, I wouldn't show up at this time. However, it's hard to guarantee that they won't use other methods to convey the message of this calligraphy and painting."

"Another way?" Ji Yinian thought seriously.

"What they want is not the calligraphy and painting, but the hidden things in the calligraphy and painting." Shangguan Mo crossed his legs, "I think, since Ji Zhengping is related to the murderer, if he is smart enough, he will hide some of that human evidence."

Ji Yinian's eyes widened, "You mean, those incriminating evidence may be hidden in these auctioned items? But why didn't Ji Zhengping use the evidence to save his life? The things are in the hands of others. , it's useless."

In the room, it was quiet.

"These items will eventually fall into the hands of the rich. If one day they accidentally discover the secrets, things will still be exposed." Ah Jin thought for a while and looked at them.

Ji Yinian still shook his head, "Since they can spend a lot of money to keep things for themselves, they won't destroy them easily. So, this is not true."

"That is, Ji Zhengping was trying to save his life. That person has something in his hands. If he doesn't hand it over, the other party won't be able to find him. Naturally, he won't dare to touch him." Ah Juan mentioned another possibility.

"But Ji Zhengping is still dead."

Ah Jin didn't know what to say.

Shangguan Mo tapped his fingers, "Anyway, this possibility exists completely. As long as you find out who is collecting these items, you can find out the relationship between this person and Ji Zhengping. This person is most likely the traitor thief."

Ji Yinian nodded, "The only clue we can grasp now is for whom Locke is buying the paintings. As long as we find out, it will be a big progress. It seems that we have to stay in country S for a while."

Ah Jin has been paying attention to the painting in Locke's house, and he is always paying attention to the people who come into contact with Locke.

It's just that Locke's work and rest these days are very normal, and the route is relatively simple. The painting is still there and has never been moved.It seems that it is waiting for someone to pick it up.

"Is there a way to find Locke's cell phone address book? When he was taking pictures of the calligraphy and painting at Moxi's house that night, he made a phone call midway, probably to ask for the other party's permission." Ji Yinian stared at the computer screen. The picture, looking at Ah Jin.

Ah Jin said in embarrassment: "Their mobile phones are all specially made, and the records of every call are kept confidential. Unless you get his mobile phone and install a monitoring software in his mobile phone, it can not only monitor his calls, You can also find all his call records."

"Do you want to do this?" Ji Yinian thought about it seriously.

"Yes. It's just that it's hard to get close to someone like him. It's a little difficult to get in touch with his mobile phone."

Ji Yinian pursed his lips, "I'll figure out a way, you get that software ready."

Ah Jin nodded.

Ji Yinian pointed at his chin, thought about it seriously, and had a flash of inspiration.

.

"Why are you so free to come and see me?" Suoya was wearing a long black dress, sitting on a rattan chair, the sun shone on her body, casting a layer of golden light.

Ji Yinian sat across from her, "Now I have no filming, no job, and no friends here, so I'm here."

"It's not like you didn't play on the first day. You haven't been here since Bess took you to Moxie's house last time. If I'm not wrong, you should ask me for help." Sonja was very straightforward.

Ji Yinian was speechless, but had to admit, "I really want to ask you for help."

Suoya smiled, "It's not bad that you can think of me when something happens. It means that in your mind, I am someone who has the strength to help you solve things."

"you do not mind?"

"What's the point of this? I already consider you a friend, so I'm willing to help you." Suoya drank her exclusive drink, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Do you know Locke Bunger well?"

"Locke. Bungie? Familiar. We used to play together when we were children. It's just that everyone has their own things to do, and they have to bear the responsibility of the family, and there will be some competition for interests. relationship, so gradually it became less friendly than before."

Suoya shrugged slightly, "Actually, people like us are quite sad. We could have been good friends, but in the end we became enemies."

"Then maybe this matter is not suitable for you to help."

"Go ahead. Except for work matters, we will still communicate. After all, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies in the mall."

Ji Yinian thought for a while, "I just want to invite you to invite him to your house for dinner."

Suoya narrowed her eyes slightly, "Is that all?"

"Ah."

"No problem." Suoya smiled, "I thought it was something difficult."

"Then trouble you."

"When do you want?"

"The sooner the better."

Suoya took out her mobile phone and made a call, "Bangjie, this is Suoya. Come to my house for dinner tonight, would you do me a favor? Well, I'll wait for you at seven o'clock in the evening. See you tonight."

"It's done." Suoya put down the phone.

Ji Yinian stared at Suoya, "It doesn't look as bad as you said."

"That's right. Now I have the final say at home, and he doesn't have any worries when I invite him." Suoya thought for a while, "The kitchen should be prepared. When there are guests, it is natural to prepare food."

Seven o'clock at night, Locke.Bangjie came as promised.

Suoya smiled when she saw him, "Long time no see, he's getting more and more handsome."

Bangjie looked at her but frowned, "Why are you so thin? It looks like you don't look well."

"Really? I've been losing weight recently, probably a little too much." Suoya stepped forward and opened her arms.

The two hugged, but Bongjie stared at Sonja.

"Hey, why do you keep looking at me like this? You will make me think that you are interested in me." Suoya tilted her head, pretending to be angry.

Bangjie shook his head, "Sonya, your body looks really bad."

"Oh my god, don't say it anymore. You say that, I feel like I'm a terminally ill patient." Suo Ya made a very exaggerated gesture.

Ji Yinian looked at Suo Ya's appearance, but felt a little distressed.

This woman is unusually strong, and she is also very good at disguising.

In front of others, she never showed her fragility.

"By the way, let me introduce you to my friend, Ji Yinian." Suoya pulled Ji Yinian and walked in front of him, "You should have met before. Last time Bess took her to the banquet at Moxi's house." .”

Bang Jie saw Ji Yinian, she was dressed simply today, not as dazzling as that night.

But her facial features are still so delicate, and she is very refreshing.

"Hello, Mr. Bangjie." Ji Yinian stretched out his hand.

Gentleman Bunger shook back, "Hello."

"Okay, now, let's go have dinner together. For you, I specially invited the chef to make roasted whole lamb. You must try it." Suoya took Bangjie's hand and walked inside .

The dinner party was held on the back lawn. The chef in chef uniform was roasting the sheep. Bess was watching and pointing from time to time.

Seeing Bongjie coming, Bess snorted coldly.

After a while, Bess came over, "I said Bangjie, can you understand the imperial calligraphy and paintings bought back for 2000 million yuan? Can you read all the words? If you can't read them all, she can teach you." He looked at Memorial.

Ji Yinian really didn't expect Beth to hate Bang Jie so much.

Sonja stared at Bess from the side, "Shut up." Except that the tone was a little heavy, but there was no real anger in the words.

Bess sat there with his legs crossed, drinking his wine and turning his head.

"Ever since I met Nian, Bess has been very interested in the culture of the empire. He happened to know that there was such a calligraphy and painting in Moxi's house that day, so he ran away. He wanted to buy it, but he didn't expect you to like it so much. So ..." Suoya shrugged embarrassedly, "He is still angry, don't be as knowledgeable as him."

Bang Jie glanced at Beth, and then at Ji Yimian, "Why? If Beth really likes it, I can give it to him."

"That's 2000 million calligraphy and paintings. Although you and I are not short of money, it's still too expensive." Suoya waved his hand, "A gentleman can't take what others like."

Ji Yinian sat aside and did not speak.

Bongjie smiled, "As Bess said, I can't even recognize many words, and I don't understand the meaning. If Bess really likes it, I can really give it to him."

"I still don't want it." Suoya shook her head.

Ji Yinian was a little puzzled, could it be that she was wrong?Bangjie didn't buy the calligraphy and painting because of someone else's entrustment, but because he wanted to buy it with more money?

Otherwise, how could he be so generous to give it away?
Just kidding?

"If you really want to give it away, you won't just talk about it. You should bring it when you come." Beth was still so proud, "So, don't act like that anymore."

"Bess, what's the matter with you? Bangjie grew up with us, two years older than you, why are you so rude?" Sonja frowned and scolded Bess.

Bess turned his head away again and fell silent.

"It's okay." Bangjie took out his mobile phone and made a call, "Send the calligraphy and painting I brought back from Moxi's house to Ona Manor a few days ago, um, yes."

After hanging up the phone, Suoya looked apologetic, "Bang Jie, really don't need it. You don't need to worry about him, he just likes to mess around."

"It's okay. It just so happens that Miss Ji is here, why don't you let her explain the meaning of that painting." Bang Jie took a deep look at Ji Yimian.

Ji Yinian smiled slightly.

She always felt that something was weird.

Bangjie is so generous, is it really not what she thought?

This direction of development made her a little confused.

The roast lamb has been roasted, the chef has cut the meat, and the servants have brought it to the table.

Bang Jie ate the meat and nodded in admiration, "It's really delicious."

"As long as you like it." Suoya looked at Ji Yinian, she didn't know why Ji Yinian asked her to invite Bang Jie.

Now that people are here, she is so quiet.

Ji Yinian ate the mutton with excellent meat quality, thinking seriously about what went wrong.

In the eyes of others, she seemed to be savoring this delicacy carefully.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught the phone on Bongjie's right hand, and she gave Bess a wink.

Bess glared at her.

Ji Yinian raised his eyebrows again.

Bess was very upset, but still stood up, "I forgot just now, I haven't brought out the red wine that I've sobered. Huh, that's my collector's edition." This woman is about to ruin it.

Sonja frowned, "Do you still have a collection of red wine?"

"That's it." Bess stood up and went to the room to get the wine and glasses.

He poured it into the cup, and then handed each cup to each other, "Taste my collector's edition."

"I came here by car." Bang Jie shyly refused, "I'm afraid I won't have the honor to taste your red wine."

Beth's face immediately collapsed, "I said, Bongjie, don't think that you are the executor of the Locke family now, and I'm afraid of you. Why don't you show me face when you come to my house?"

Sonja pulled Rabes, "What are you talking about? Bongjie is my guest."

"But he doesn't look like a guest." Bess was very upset, "He obviously didn't give me face, and didn't take our Ona seriously."

Bongjie picked up his glass, "Bess, this is serious. I'll drink it, and I'll call the driver later."

"Hmph!" Bess sat down after seeing him take a sip.

Ji Yinian also picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

Suoya and Bangjie were talking, but Besley ignored him, while Ji Yimian sat quietly aside, and when she was asked, she would answer.

Slowly, Bangjie's glass of wine has been finished.

"Hey, didn't you ask someone to send the painting? Why hasn't it arrived yet?" Bess asked suddenly.

"It should be on the way." Bangjie said, "I'll call and ask."

"No, I'm just afraid he might get lost."

Because of Bei Si's words, Ji Yinian finally knew where the problem was.

Bangjie asked people to send the painting here, so he took this opportunity to send the painting away!
Ji Yinian frowned and looked at Bang Jie.

He might have been waiting for such a suitable opportunity, but Bess just happened to give him such an opportunity tonight.

Bess wants to paint, and Bangjie asks people to send out the painting on the grounds of giving it to him.

Leaving the surveillance area, it is very likely that the painting will be handed over to the person who asked him to buy it.

Bang Jie suddenly looked at Ji Yinian, with a slight smile on his lips.

This smile made Ji Yimian even more sure that Bang Jie had premeditated all of this.

However, Beth personally handed him this opportunity.

She's not quite lost yet, though.

Ji Yinian drank the red wine calmly again.

The servant stepped forward and poured another glass of wine for Bangjie. After taking two sips, Bangjie suddenly felt a little dizzy.

He rested his head on his hands and shook his head slightly.

"What's wrong with you?" Suoya asked after seeing his actions.

"It's nothing, just a little dizzy." He looked at the wine in the glass, and saw that Ji Yimian and Bei Si were both drinking.

There should be no problem with this wine.

Could it be that he is too tired?
"Dizziness?" Suoya was surprised, "It's all right, why do you feel dizzy? Are you feeling unwell? I'll ask Cook to check it for you."

"No need. It will be fine in a while." Bangjie shook his head and refused.

"Don't force it. Otherwise, go in and have a rest." Suoya called the servant, "Send Mr. Bangjie to have a rest."

"Yes."

Bongjie wanted to refuse, but his head was really dizzy.

He stood up, put the phone in his pocket, and was helped into the room by the servant.

"Hmph, it's useless." Bess snorted coldly.

Suoya stared at him, then looked at Ji Yinian, "Nian, can you tell me what exactly are you going to do?"

"I didn't want to do anything." Ji Yinian smiled, "On the contrary, it was Bess who did a lot of things."

"Hey, how can you do this? You're using me!" Bess said to a furious cat.

Ji Yinian smiled, "However, you were really good before, and you were able to make Bang Jie take the initiative to give you the calligraphy and painting."

"What are you talking about?" Suoya didn't know what the two of them were talking about.

"Sister, you really shouldn't have close friendship with this woman, she is just a cunning fox." Bei Si glared at Ji Yimian.

Sonja's face darkened, very serious, "Bess, I don't allow you to say that about her."

"Sister!" Bess really didn't understand why her sister was so protective of Ji Yimian.

Did she forget that this woman was ruthless at the beginning and wanted to fight to the death.

If it wasn't for her, how could she suddenly get sick.

"Bess, let me say it again, Nian is my good friend. You are not allowed to say that about her again."

Ji Yinian came out to smooth things over, "Calm down your anger, sister and brother, don't let the relationship between you become unhappy because of me. In fact, I asked Beth to help me, otherwise Bang Jie wouldn't faint so quickly."

Sonja was slightly startled, "Did you drug Bangjie?"

"It's not fatal, it's just short-lived." Ji Yinian apologized, "Suoya, I'm sorry, I did use you and Bess."

"No." Suoya shook her head, "Can I ask why?"

Ji Yinian thought for a while, "It's a long story, but don't worry, I won't hurt anyone. I did this just to find out something I want to know. This matter is very important to me .”

"The important thing you want to investigate is related to Bangjie?"

"It's still not clear, and there is no evidence. So, I can only make a bad plan." Ji Yinian also hopes to find that person as soon as possible.

Suoya nodded understandingly, "So you want to get that calligraphy and painting, and it's also related to this matter."

"Yes. However, that painting has been sent out by Bangjie now. So now all the clues can only be found from Bangjie." Ji Yinian also hopes that Ah Jin can find a breakthrough as soon as possible.

"It sounds like it's a big deal." Bess also screwed it up.

Ji Yinian nodded, "I can't tell you about this now, I don't want you to be involved. I will definitely tell you when the matter is over."

"I'm not interested in the truth. I'll help you. I just don't like that kind of pretentious villain." Bess carried the plate and walked to the chef, and ate while cutting the meat.

"Then how do you plan to find a breakthrough from Bangjie? I don't want to know about you, but if I can help, just ask." Suoya looked at her seriously.

Ji Yinian took her hand, "You have already helped me."

Suoya smiled, "It's just a little effort."

One is drinking red wine, one is drinking fruit juice, and the other is squatting next to the roasted whole lamb and eating.

The open grass, a bright fire, and the vast night and starry sky, smelling the smell of mutton, is very pleasant.

Ji Yinian's phone vibrated.

She glanced at it, it was from Ah Jin.

"It's done."

Looking at these two words, Ji Yinian smiled, and then deleted the message.
