Chapter 357: Taken from the Castle
Chapter 357: Taken from the Castle
"What did you say? You made another three million?" Xia Shanglu, who was flipping through a criminal investigation book and working hard on a criminal investigation novel, was stunned. "Selling songs again?"
Xia Qingdai said calmly: "This time I'm not selling songs, I'm selling a miniature sculpture."
"Where did you get such a valuable miniature sculpture?" Xia Shanglu didn't understand. "Don't tell me you made it yourself again."
"Hey, I'm not that omnipotent." Xia Qingdai spread her hands, "I said I picked it up, do you believe it?"
Xia Qingdai wanted to say that she did it, but she didn't have the ability to reveal it.
Xia Shanglu chuckled twice: "Sister, let me tell you the law. If you find any good things, you must hand them over to the police uncle, otherwise it will be illegal possession, understand? If you really found a treasure that can be sold for 300 million like you said, and then resold it, it would be a serious crime."
"Brother, I've read a lot, don't try to scare me. Picking up something that has an owner is considered embezzlement, but unowned property doesn't constitute embezzlement, and at most you can just hand it over to the state!"
"So where did you get this thing? This question is very important." Xia Shanglu put down the keyboard and stared at Xia Qingdai.
Xia Qingdai had already thought of her excuse and decided to adopt a strategy of nine truths and one lie. She pulled Xia Shanglu's arm and walked into the room: "Brother, come with me."
"What for?" Xia Shanglu was pulled into the room by her.
Xia Qingdai pointed at the castle model and said confidently, "I took it out from this castle. There are many small furniture and decorations inside! Last time I took out a mini gun from it and gave it to Yan Shixian. Who would have thought that his rich and idle uncle liked these miniature items? So I just picked a good-looking one to sell."
"Is this true?" Xia Shanglu stared at Xia Qingdai with his sharp eyes.
As a local police officer, he had heard all kinds of lies and had developed a keen eye, but he did not see the slightest trace of guilt on Xia Qingdai's face.
"Of course it's real!" Xia Qingdai said as she climbed onto the bed and lay beside the glass jar on the bay window. In front of Xia Shanglu, she took out the Leonardo da Vinci sculpture from the window of her room in the castle.
"Look! It's something like this." Xia Qingdai said, "But if there are too many, they won't be worth much, so I only sold one."
Xia Shanglu took the Da Vinci sculpture from Xia Qingdai, held it between his fingers and raised it towards the light to study it. Xia Qingdai watched nervously, fearing that he might break the sculpture.
Even though she said it calmly, she was very nervous. This is a real art treasure, and it is worth being the first one to be taken to Noah's Ark when the world ends!
Fortunately, Xia Shanglu quickly returned the sculpture to Xia Qingdai: "So this castle is quite valuable. Tsk, should we return it to Uncle Lin?"
Xia Qingdai was unhappy when she heard this, and pushed her brother out the door: "Since the things have been given to me, they are mine. Brother, neither you nor Uncle Lin have the right to revoke it now. Come on, go, go, go, go and type your words!"
If it was just an ancient castle, it would be fine, but this is clearly a small country with Owen, who she supports! She will not hand him over to anyone!
Besides, there were several treasures in there that Xia Qingdai exchanged for money, whether it was the Lolita skirt, Mozart's songs, or the Udon sculpture, all of which were obtained by her own ability and were not originally owned by the castle, so she had no guilt in holding them.
Not everyone has the opportunity to see the Lilliput Kingdom. For example, her brother Xia Shanglu would not cherish the model of the castle in front of him. The little people were right under his nose, but he could not see them.
The naked eyes of other humans are not even as good as cameras. Now satellite-level cameras can already capture the scenes of Lilliput, but Xia Shanglu still can't see it.
After Xia Shanglu was pushed out of the door, he looked at the closed door, smiled and shook his head.
The old man Lin who played antiques downstairs cut off all his contacts in China when he went abroad, and even sold his old house. Even if he wanted to return it, he couldn't find the original owner. Xia Shanglu laughed, thinking that he really couldn't underestimate any antique player. He just helped old man Lin out for many years, but he didn't expect to get such a big reward.
Disturbed by the news of the three million, Xia Shanglu could no longer calm down to type, so he simply opened the website to look up information about micro-carving.
As a result, after much investigation, I found out that intangible cultural heritage items like walnut carving only sell for tens of thousands of dollars at auctions.
As for the value of the core itself, tens of thousands of yuan is already a waste to treasure. But compared with the three million micro-carvings sold by Xia Qingdai, the gap is still very large.
He also searched for auction information about other miniature carvings, and found only one type of jade carving that had been sold at a similarly high price.
"Yan Shixian." Xia Shang stroked his chin and muttered, "Isn't it because of this guy that you sold it at a high price?"
The world of rich people is sometimes separated from that of ordinary people.
After Xia Qingdai told her brother that he had made a lot of money, she put the matter aside no matter how excited he was.
She rushed home late at night, her main purpose was to celebrate Christmas in advance with Owen in the 18th century, not to confess the secret to her brother.
Xia Qingdai changed into a winter Empire dress, lay on the glass tank, and carefully placed Leonardo da Vinci's sculpture back into her window.
Owen stood behind the glass window of the music room and watched Xia Qingdai's actions throughout. He was a little curious and didn't know what the goddess was doing.
Except for Owen, no one else noticed that a sculpture flew into the sky from the window of their castle and then flew back.
Everyone is busy preparing for the upcoming Christmas Eve, and the entire castle is decorated with lights and colors.
After putting the sculpture away, Xia Qingdai thought about it and traveled to the ancient castle.
Owen was stunned for a moment when he saw Xia Qingdai suddenly appear beside him, and then he found that she was now invisible and translucent.
He bowed politely and looked at her gently with deep eyes. He didn't say a word, but it seemed as if he said thousands of words.
Xia Qingdai sat on the sofa in front of the fireplace, stretched out her hands to warm the fire, and sighed, "It's still the most comfortable here. Owen, how are you going to spend Christmas Eve?"
She had already sent the things that needed to be sent to Lilliput over the weekend, and now it was up to Owen to make his own arrangements.
"Old Mr. Brown and his family are going to hold an all-night Christmas party and have sent invitations to all the neighbors. Do you have time to attend?"
Xia Qingdai shook her head regretfully: "No, I will leave as soon as it gets dark."
"Oh." Although Owen was mentally prepared, he still felt a little disappointed deep down.
However, he quickly calmed down, took a few steps forward, and sat down next to Xia Qingdai calmly.
