mobile video.

In addition to Charles, Chen Ya also found a familiar face among the security personnel at the auction. It was the ace bodyguard of the Blackwater Company.

Uncle Wolf Logan...

However, all the buyers who participated in the auction were rich foreigners.

The auction items are antiques and cultural relics from different periods of the world, most of which are sold at prices of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

At the end of the auction, Charles publicly displayed a Buddha head while saying in English:
"From the 9th century to the 17th century, the Guge Dynasty once ruled the entire ALD area. This is a Tibetan Buddha head found in the ruins of Guge, which is of great artistic and collection value..."

The head of the Buddha in the video is black and purple, and the facial expression is wonderful and pretty, but it looks a little evil.

Chen Ya was stunned. He had seen the exact same Buddha head in the Guge Underground Palace before, and immediately looked at Ye Xiaoman suspiciously.

Xiao Yezi took out a photo from the museum, and the same Buddha head suddenly appeared on the photo.

"Could it be a couple?"

Chen Ya questioned, Ye Xiaoman nodded and said:
"That's right, the head of the Bumo Buddha in the museum today is the one we found at that time, but the other head was stolen by the cultural relic thief 'Charles Danilo' and his illegal gangs outside the country."

At this moment, the foreign buyers in the video began to bid one after another, and soon the price of the Buddha head soared to 500 million US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 3000 million yuan.

Charles, however, was not auctioned off, only displayed.

"For sale."

Chen Ya spit out four words expressionlessly. This kind of display is to whet the appetite, and then sell it when there is a good price.

The first video has finished playing.

Ye Xiaoman said with a serious expression:
"Charles is an American professor of archeology on the surface, but behind the scenes he is a family cultural relic robber. During the archaeological operation two years ago, he used his identity to defraud the trust of Chinese archaeologists, and took the opportunity to join forces with illegal foreign forces... ..."

Needless to say later!

Chen Ya basically knew it, so during Ye Xiaoman's narration, he started to play the second video.

It was a backward West Asian city, all kinds of dirty and messy, but the protagonist in the video was wearing gold and silver, riding in a luxury car all the way, embracing beautiful women left and right, but the hair on the top of the head was sparse and his left arm was missing.

"Ban bald..."

Chen Ya's eyes turned cold. Of course he knew this guy, but he didn't see Wu Daomei in the video, and even Bantu's father, Ban Kun, didn't appear.

Seeing this, Ye Xiaoman introduced:
"After the archaeological team was rescued, the Guge Underground Palace was listed as a restricted area. In the following two years, the Chinese Academy of Sciences successively sent people to re-explore and protect the underground palace..."

It is probably the ancient ruins, which have been thoroughly explored by professional archaeologists in our country.

The issue is…

After sorting out, it was found that hundreds of important cultural relics were lost.

There are many first- and second-level cultural relics among them, and the illegal team that stole these cultural relics is naturally Charles and Ban Kun, the two groups of foreign forces.

Hearing this, a nameless anger surged in Chen Ya's heart.

If I hadn't been poisoned and unconscious, the two groups of tomb robbers...

Never succeed!
Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

"The location of the first video is in the United States. The 'Bumo Buddha Head' displayed in it belongs to our country's first-class cultural relics. Charles obtained it through 'illegal means'. According to relevant international conventions, controversial cultural relics cannot be exhibited..."

simply put.

According to the "Convention on Stolen or Illegally Exported Cultural Objects" adopted by the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law in 1995.

Abbreviated as '95 Convention', there are only 37 countries that have signed the Convention, and the United States is not among them.

Therefore, this convention does not have mandatory legal binding force on the United States, as well as other countries that have not signed it.

That is to say...

People can blatantly auction cultural relics obtained illegally from other countries.

Of course!
Most of these countries have not signed a bilateral agreement with China on the "recovery of cultural relics". Therefore, there is no proper legal procedure to refer to for the recourse of these stolen cultural relics.

It means that through formal channels, it is basically impossible to recover these cultural relics!

and so…

This requires the use of informal channels, provided they are legal.

In short, the international pursuit of overseas cultural relics is very complicated, and taking cultural relics 'home' is a long process.

in private.

Usually, both parties directly contact and lobby the holders through negotiation, and provide 'reasonable economic compensation' to the holders.

Of course, there are also well-meaning people who donate free of charge or return it unconditionally.

But those are very few.

The best way, of course, is to recover the cultural relics thieves back to the country through legal and diplomatic means before they get rid of them.

Also mentioned earlier...

There is basically no way to pursue, let alone capture.

Both Charles and Bantu are not Chinese nationals. In the absence of an extradition treaty, overseas arrests are illegal.

So, here comes the point!

After Ye Xiaoman explained the information, he looked at Chen Ya and said:
"Chen Ya, I know that when you wake up, you definitely plan to go abroad. If you want, you can participate in the work of retrieving the cultural relics. After all, as the parties involved, we have the right to ask them to return the cultural relics..."

It turned out that Ye Xiaoman has been involved in the search for cultural relics for the past two years, and a large amount of evidence has been investigated so far.

When Chen Ya heard this, he almost didn't need to think about it, and immediately nodded and said:

"I am willing. These cultural relics belong to the country, and they should not be left overseas."

Actually...

Archeology is "using history as a mirror", studying ancient art and thought through cultural relics left by ancestors. This is the real value of cultural relics, rather than being used by criminals to gain profits.

Seeing that Chen Ya agreed to come down, Ye Xiaoman showed a happy smile, and then took out a document and a stack of picture booklets from the briefcase.

The material is about Charles and Ben Bald.

Chen Ya opened the information first, and after looking it up a few times, he found that Charles was a typical cultural relic thief, with a huge force behind him and many masters.

As for the bald...

"This kid is cruel enough!"

The corners of Chen Ya's eyes twitched. It turned out that the archaeological team found the body of 'Ban Kun' in the underground palace. It was later confirmed that Ban Tu shot and killed him.

patricide...

I have to say that Ban Tu can really do anything.

Of course, Chen Ya also noticed another point. Wu Daomei did not appear on the death list. This bodyguard next to Ban Kun was probably hunted down by Ban Tu.

If not dead...

Tsk tsk, interesting.

Chen Ya smiled, and then opened the photo album.

All the stolen cultural relics in the Guge ruins are all on the picture booklet, a total of 234 pieces.

Total number of cultural relics: 234

Grades of cultural relics: 1 special cultural relic, 23 first-class cultural relics, 88 second-class cultural relics, and 122 third-class cultural relics.

Charles stole: 179 pieces (1 extra, 21 first class)
Stolen by Bantu: 55 pieces (2 pieces at the first level)
Auctioned cultural relics: 48 pieces (level three)

Recovered cultural relics: 1 piece (level [-])

Cultural relics to be traced: 233 pieces

……

two years.

Only one third-level cultural relic was recovered, so one can imagine how difficult it is to trace the cultural relic.

Coincidentally, there are 233 cultural relics that need to be traced.

It also coincides with 233 countries and regions in the world. Seeing this, Chen Ya couldn't help saying in a deep voice:
"Give these cultural relics to me. No matter which country they are in, even if they travel to all corners of the world, I will find them back one by one."

Having said that, Chen Ya added another sentence:

"Even if I steal...I will steal it back!"

What is "theft has its own way"?

Since the cultural relics have been stolen, then steal them back.

"You really are fit to be a thief."

Ye Xiaoman said with a smile.

"Yeah, I'm still a heart thief."

Chen Ya frowned, and then looked at the super cultural relics on the booklet.

You know, cultural relics in our country are divided into one, two, and three levels.

In addition, it is a super cultural relic.

Also known as...

national treasure!

[PS: Guess what is that national treasure? 】
