Ten o'clock in the evening, Capital Airport.
Stars filled the dark night sky, twinkling and bright.
In front of the terminal, Dong Xuebin leaned on the glass outside the hall, smoking cigarettes one by one, waiting without saying a word with cold eyes. There are very few people boarding the plane at this time. Most of them are outbound planes. Passengers carrying suitcases pass by in front of them. Some are from tour groups returning to Beijing, some are on business trips, and some are visiting relatives in Beijing. Yes, you can read some of the bustling flavor of first-tier cities from here.
At this time, a black Elantra used for ordinary home photography stopped in front of the terminal.
Dong Xuebin looked up, threw away the cigarette butt and stamped it out, walked over quickly, opened the car door and got in the passenger seat.
"Director Dong, long time no see." The visitor turned out to be Elder Qian, deputy director of the Sixth Division of the National Security Bureau in the west of the city. Dong Xuebin had a good relationship with him when he was still in the general office. When he mistakenly arrested a relative of Director Jiang of the municipal bureau, he was Lao Qian came to the rescue, but he still owed Dong Xuebin a favor.
Seeing his old colleague, Dong Xuebin forced out a smile and said, "Old Qian, why do you go there in person?"
"Why don't I care about your Director Dong's affairs?" Lao Qian knew that he was in a hurry, so he didn't say anything more. He took out a bag from the side and took out his passport and other items. "This is what Director Xu asked me to give you." You didn't go through the special procedures for stamping with other departments. Mainly because you were in a hurry and didn't have time, so you just went through the special procedures for leaving the country for national security personnel. Well, it's the same as an ordinary passport. Just take it."
Dong Xuebin took it and nodded slightly.
"Also, here are 100,000 yen and the air ticket. Director Xu paid for it for you personally out of his own pocket. Haha, you still have a lot of face." Old Qian looked at his watch and said hurriedly: "By the way, your flight is about to take off. Yes, it's a late flight. It was supposed to leave at nine o'clock, but the flight came back a little late and it has been delayed until now. Your ticket is a temporary one, and there is a vacancy in the economy class. I have already said hello to you. What's your best choice? It’s best to go as soon as possible. If you’re late, you won’t be able to catch up. As for the return ticket, you can contact me then and I’ll arrange it for you.”
Upon hearing this, Dong Xuebin immediately put the things away, "Old Qian, I won't say more, thank you."
Lao Qian chuckled, "We are old friends, why should we be so polite?"
"If everything goes well, I'll probably come back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and thank Director Xu for me. I'll pay her back later."
"Well, Director Xu asked you to pay attention to the impact. No matter what you do, don't get into trouble. After all, it's not domestic."
Dong Xuebin gave a noncommittal hum and said nothing. He went to Tokyo this time to prepare for an earth-shattering incident. It was impossible not to cause trouble.
After getting off the car, Dong Xuebin went straight to the lobby to go through the formalities and pass the customs security check.
After taking and verifying the photo, the customs released it, and Dong Xuebin strode to the boarding gate to go through the second procedure.
Dong Xuebin was the last one to get on the plane. If Deputy Director Qian hadn't said hello in advance, Dong Xuebin wouldn't have been able to get through the boarding gate because it had been closed some time before takeoff. After getting on the plane, Dong Xuebin looked at his boarding pass, walked back more than 20 meters, and found his seat. The old lady sitting next to her asked him to come in, and the passengers around him looked at Dong Xuebin frequently, as if they didn't understand how he could come up so late.
This time it was a big plane, with two rows of aisles and two more rows of seats.
Dong Xuebin didn’t have any luggage, so he squeezed in and sat down directly.
Ring ring ring, ring ring ring, suddenly the phone rang, and it was Xie Hao's number.
The plane hadn't taken off yet, so Dong Xuebin didn't bother to turn off his phone. He quickly pressed the answer button, "Hey, Xiaohao, it's me."
Xie Hao asked strangely: "Brother Dong, didn't you contact the hospital?"
"No, I have something to do when I go out. Let's go first."
"Hey, we thought you were waiting down there, and we searched for a long time. By the way, my eldest sister's phone is out of battery. Let me tell you that my eldest sister will stay with my aunt in the hospital tonight and won't go back. I and I My second sister has just come out of the hospital, and my aunt’s birthday tomorrow is probably not going to be celebrated. It may have to be postponed by a day to Monday, or it may not be celebrated. I don’t know yet. The main thing is that once the Bodhisattva statue is lost, my aunt and the rest of the family are not thinking about it. ”
The flight attendant had frowned at Dong Xuebin again, as if reminding him to turn off his phone.
Dong Xuebin said yes, "I understand, Xiaohao, I have something urgent here. Let's do this for now. I may not be able to go back tomorrow. Then you can tell your eldest sister that if you want to find me, call my mobile phone." He is GSM numbers can also be used in Japan.
"Oh, that's okay, you are busy with your business." Xie Hao hung up the phone.
Dong Xuebin was not prepared to tell them, mainly because he was afraid that Huilan and Mrs. Han would worry about him.
After a while, the flight attendant began to announce that everyone should fasten their seat belts and the plane was about to take off. A big plane is much more stable than a small one, and it doesn't feel too bumpy. It's quite comfortable. After the plane was in the sky, Dong Xuebin closed his eyes and clenched his fists while thinking about the matter.
One hour…
Two hours…
three hours…
The time it takes to fly from Beijing to a southern city is about the same as flying to Japan. The only difference is that there is some time difference.
It was already late at night when we got off the plane and arrived in Tokyo.
Dong Xuebin was unfamiliar with the place and the language, so he had to leave the lobby to take a taxi. Fortunately, the driver here could still understand some simple English. Dong Xuebin had specially reviewed the vocabulary a while ago, and he had learned the vocabulary in college. My English level had recovered to 70-80%, so I told the driver to go to the hotel. As soon as the car drove, it took about ten minutes to arrive at the entrance of a hotel. The hotel's big sign was written in English. Well, it was not English. It seemed to be Japanese phonetic notation. Anyway, Dong Xuebin couldn't understand it. After paying, he got off the car and entered. At the hotel, I continued to communicate with the front desk in English with difficulty, and successfully opened a room, received the room card and went upstairs.
One standard room on the sixth floor.
After taking a bath, Dong Xuebin, who was exhausted, fell asleep.
The next morning, Dong Xuebin packed up his belongings, took a taxi and went straight to the National Museum.
Today is Sunday, but after walking around outside Ueno Park, I didn’t see many people entering the museum inside. There were more people from the Republic, and the antiques trend was hot after all, so cultural heritage was also on display there. , so places such as the Forbidden City are crowded with people, but the National Museum is different. Although there are people in twos and threes, they are not as crowded as the Forbidden City.
Adult admission to the permanent exhibition is 600 yen.
After buying a ticket in English, Dong Xuebin strode inside.
The museum here is still very different from those in China. The low courtyard walls around it don’t have any special protection. It seems that pickpockets can get in. Compared with the Palace Museum, this place doesn’t feel like a museum. , instead it looks like a university.
After walking a few dozen meters, the museum gate is right in front of you.
The brown-white staircase and the three-story building look quite impressive.
However, Dong Xuebin's mind was obviously not here. He walked around the compound like an ordinary tourist, without going in directly. Sometimes he looked at the wall, sometimes at the surveillance cameras in various hidden corners, and sometimes Calculating the distance and location silently, he looked at the door again. Before joining the bureau from Guoan, Dong Xuebin attended the Guoan "Party School" for training for a period of time, so his experience in this area is far better than ordinary people.
About forty minutes later, Dong Xuebin entered the main hall.
There was a security check at the door, with equipment. After passing by, Dong Xuebin paid attention to several security personnel and the cameras in the hall. He walked inside and entered the area of the National Treasure Room. Dong Xuebin didn't know much about Japanese antiques. , there are some paintings, Buddha statues and the like, as well as samurai swords. The only thing Dong Xuebin can name is "Sesshu Splash-ink Landscape Painting". This is very famous in Japan and is a national treasure. It is quite antique. Liu Sheng's golden jade clothes in the Republic of China have a very important status and value in various countries.
After looking around like a tourist, Dong Xuebin returned the same way.
The National Museum is the first museum in Japan. It has the main hall that displays Japanese art, which is where Dong Xuebin is now. Behind it is the Okeikan, Horyuji Treasures Hall, Heisei Hall and Oriental Hall, as well as foreign Asian art. Most of them are concentrated in the Oriental Museum.
After the observation, Dong Xuebin went straight to his destination—the Oriental Pavilion.
Still walking and walking, still looking left and right, he found all the surveillance cameras. Fortunately, they were all equipment on the surface. There was nothing hidden and they were easier to recognize. Even Dong Xuebin also visually inspected the cameras. He even went to the bathroom of the Oriental Pavilion to explore the blind spots. This was a very labor-intensive thing, and it took Dong Xuebin two or three hours.
It was almost noon, and Dong Xuebin probably had some confidence in his heart, so he secretly squinted his eyes.
At this moment, he was able to focus on the exhibits.
You wouldn't know it if you didn't look at it. This sight also aroused Dong Xuebin's anger. The cultural relics on display in the Oriental Museum are basically from the Republic. They are all things that were snatched from the Republic in those years. There are more than a few hundred pieces. In addition, There are at least thousands of items in the safe in the management warehouse. There are porcelain, calligraphy and painting, lacquerware, the Four Treasures of the Study, etc., and the weight is very heavy. There are even national treasures of the Republic and countless first-class and second-class cultural relics. , extremely precious, some of which Dong Xuebin has never seen in the Republic, which shows their value.
One piece…
Ten pieces…
Hundreds of items…
Finally, Dong Xuebin saw a Bodhisattva statue in a display rack in a corner.
The Bodhisattva in the glass wall is dignified and peaceful, with one leg crossed and the other along, showing a very natural and profound beauty. At first glance, you may not think of it as anything, but if you take a closer look, you will see that kind of beauty. The charm comes from the "bones" of the Bodhisattva statue!
Dong Xuebin's pupils shrank, and his heart became colder and colder.
You can’t go wrong!
This is the sandstone seated Bodhisattva statue of Tianlongshan Grottoes in the Tang Dynasty! Xie family heirloom!
Baby! Brother, I finally found you! RO
