The Longquan Ge Kiln flower-mouth plate, the Ru porcelain fragments and the large luminous badge that Yang Jing first bought had always been kept in his backpack, so the two police officers did not see those things, thus avoiding a lot of trouble.
However, just when Yang Jing thought that the matter was over, Officer Ma's words made Yang Jing a little anxious and angry.
"Mr. Yang, according to our investigation, the things you bought are indeed not worth much and do not constitute the crime of reselling cultural relics." As soon as Officer Ma opened his mouth, Yang Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, according to the regulations, you still need to go to the police station with us and make a formal record."
As soon as these words came out, Yang Jing suddenly felt furious.
It’s not that Yang Jing is unwilling to cooperate with the two police officers, it’s just that time is not enough.
It took more than half an hour for the two police officers to do this. If I go to the police station with them to take a statement, it will take at least two hours to go back and forth. If I really go with them, I won't be able to take these things away.
If we don’t take away these things full of cultural treasures, this journey through time and space will be in vain.
Yang Jing didn't want his journey through time and space, which he had worked so hard to prepare for, to be in vain.
So Yang Jing refused without hesitation and said, "Officer Ma, Officer Li, I'm sorry, I can't go to the police station with you to take a statement. You already know the whole story, and Officer Ma, you just said that the things I bought are not illegal, so you just need to produce a document or something and I'll just sign it. Officers, it's not that I don't want to go to the police station with you, but I really don't have the time to go with you. My flight to Shanghai is at 7:30 in the evening, and my partner is waiting for me to go back for dinner. So, I need to take these things to my temporary residence in Yanjing, and then take the plane after dinner. If I go with you, I will even miss the evening flight. So I'm sorry, I can't go to the police station with you to take a statement."
The two policemen were not expecting Yang Jing's refusal, and Officer Ma immediately showed an embarrassment on his face.
"Mr. Yang, this is a necessary step in our work. If you don't follow us to take the statement, we won't be able to close the case."
"I'm sorry, Officer Ma, I really can't go with you to take the statement. My parents' plane will arrive in Shanghai tonight, and I have to go to the airport to pick them up. I hope you can understand. And this time my parents and I return to China to invest in development in Yanjing. The initial budget is more than 10 million pounds. If this incident affects my and my parents' impression of Yanjing, then we do not rule out the possibility of investing this money in Shanghai or Pengcheng. Officer Ma, this is my first time back to China, and I hope to have a good journey in my motherland."
Yang Jing had no choice. Taking a statement was a necessary procedure, but his schedule conflicted with this procedure. Although he was also disgusted with doing so, he had no choice but to resort to this method of using the tiger's skin to raise a banner.
Sure enough, these words stunned the two police officers. In this day and age, 10 million pounds is equivalent to more than 130 million. If such a large investment is really wasted, the two of them really can't afford such a responsibility.
When Yang Jing saw that the two men hesitated, he immediately added fuel to the fire.
He took out the bank card he opened at HSBC when he was studying in the UK from his wallet and placed it directly in front of the two police officers. The obvious abbreviation of HSBC made Officer Li's eyes twitch a few times.
At that time, not many people in China held bank cards. The earliest Bank of China Great Wall Card and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Peony Card had only been launched for a few years. However, this card was obviously different from domestic bank cards, especially in that it was all English letters without a single Chinese character, which further highlighted the high-end nature of this card.
Yang Jing said calmly: "There are more than 10 million pounds in this card. If you don't believe it, you can check it at the ATM..." Just kidding, in this era, there are not many ATMs even in Yanjing, and the ATMs at that time are not like the later generations that can use all UnionPay cards. In 1994, Huaxia UnionPay was not established yet. Therefore, even if the two police officers found the ATM, they could not check the information on this HSBC bank card.
This bank card became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
After hesitating for a while, the two police officers whispered to each other. Finally, Officer Ma smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, I'm sorry to have caused you some unnecessary trouble today, but you also know that we can't do anything..."
Yang Jing waved his hand to interrupt Officer Ma, "Officer Ma, I know it's not easy for you police officers, but I really have no choice today. I can't delay my trip, so please forgive me and Officer Li."
Once both sides gave in to each other, the problem immediately became easier to resolve.
Officer Ma quickly wrote a document in the room, and after Yang Jing checked it and confirmed it was correct, he signed it. The case was thus resolved.
Special cases deserve special treatment! The police serve the people, so they cannot delay the itinerary of patriotic overseas Chinese...
Only after seeing the two police officers turn around and walk out of the gate, riding away on their police motorcycles, did Yang Jing breathe a sigh of relief.
Old Xue patted his chest with lingering fear and said to Yang Jing: "Brother Yang, the car has been found and it will be here soon."
