Chapter 5823
New York, Queens.
Queens is a large area. Although it is not as prosperous as Manhattan,
Its central location can be regarded as a smaller version of Manhattan.
Moreover, Queens has a dense population and a lot of immigrants of all ethnic groups,
So it is relatively lively.
The famous Flushing is a neighborhood where Chinese and Chinese traders gather.
Peter Zhou’s antique shop is located in the center of Queens.
Although the store is not large, the location is really not a choice.
When Charlie and Hogan parked opposite the antique store,
They found that the antique store was not open.
At first, Hogan didn’t notice anything wrong.
After all, it was still morning, and a few antique shops opened early in the morning.
But Charlie, who was obviously more powerful, discovered something unusual.
He saw the mottled rust on the iron door and handle of the antique store,
As if no one had taken care of it for a while.
He originally planned to have a cup of coffee opposite,
So he drove the car to the opposite side of the road and stopped.
When he walked closer to check, he discovered that the antique shop had indeed not been open for a long time,
And there were even spider webs hanging above the folding iron door.
Looking inside through the window, the displays inside were all dirty and seemed to have not been maintained for a long time.
Hogan on the side couldn’t help frowning:
“It feels like this place has been closed for at least a few months.”
“Yes.” Charlie nodded: “Didn’t it mean that the Zhou family has run many antique shops in Europe and the United States?”
“Maybe this place has been abandoned?”
Hogan took a look at the second-hand store next door,
And found that although the store still had a closed sign,
There were already people inside, so he walked up, knocked on the door, and chatted with people.
After chatting, he turned around and came out and said to Charlie:
“Master, let’s go back to the car and talk.”
Charlie realized that Hogan might have found some sensitive clues,
So he returned to the car with him.
After getting in the car, Hogan said:
“Master, I just asked the owner next door.”
“The owner said that Peter Zhou was arrested in this store four months ago,”
“And the store was closed accord

“Caught?” Charlie curiously asked: “Why was he arrested?”
Hogan said: “It is said that it was because of fraud, but the shop owner next door said that his situation was very special and different from ordinary fraud.”
“When he was arrested, it was the FBI. The people who came to arrest were very involved.”
“FBI…”
Charlie muttered and asked him: “Uncle Zhong, shouldn’t the police be responsible for cases like fraud?”
Hogan said: “No. Certainly, if the circumstances are serious,”
“Endanger national security, or involve important people and items,”
“The FBI may be responsible. Since Peter Zhou is suspected of fraud,”
“And if arrested by the FBI, it proves that the situation should be quite serious.”
Charlie asked: “Does the shop owner just now know about Peter Zhou’s current situation?”
Hogan shook his head and said: “That person doesn’t know very well.”
“He only knows that the Zhou family’s antique shops in the United States seem to have been closed.”
“As for his current situation, that person has not received any information.”
As he spoke, Hogan sighed helplessly and said, “In these years in New York,”
“I have basically been bored in Chinatown and rarely come out.”
“I don’t know anyone. I can’t find a suitable person to ask for news.”
Charlie pursed his lips and said, “It’s okay. Regarding matters in New York,”
“It’s probably reliable to ask Miss Fei.”
“Her connections and information channels are definitely much better than the two of us.”
After saying that, he took out his mobile phone and called Stella.
The phone rang seven or eight times before it was finally picked up.
Stella asked as soon as she opened her mouth: “Mr. Bai, how is the situation in Atlanta?”
Charlie realized that Stella might not be able to speak easily,
And she had completely made up a title,
Probably because she was with his wife at the moment.
So Charlie asked, “If it’s inconvenient for Miss Fei, we can talk later.”
Stella said, “I’m working on a project in New York right now.”
“Give me a moment. I’ll get back to you in five minutes.”
“Okay,” Charlie responded and hung up the phone.
Five minutes later, Stella’s phone call came on time.
As soon as the call came through, she said respectfully:
“Mr. Wade, I was discussing plans with your missess.”
“I was afraid that she would misunderstand,”
“So I didn’t dare to talk to you directly. Could you please forgive me?”
Charlie smiled and said: “It’s okay,”
“You are more thoughtful than me. How is she doing with you recently?”
Stella said: “She has been busy with the project these days.”
“Because I wasn’t sure how long you needed me to hold off,”
“So I pretended to be real and entrusted her with full responsibility for the project here.”
“It may be a little tiring, but she is still very involved.”
Charlie smiled. He said: “My wife is still very enterprising, much better than me.”
Stella smiled slightly and said: “Mr. Wade must be very enterprising,”
“Otherwise he wouldn’t have let me invite his wife to New York.”
After saying that, Stella quickly asked:
“By the way, Mr. Wade, do you have anything to do with me?”
Charlie hummed and said, “I want you to help me find out about a person.”
Stella said without thinking: “Tell me the situation and I will start immediately.”
Charlie said: “There is an antique dealer named Zhou Peter.”
“It is said that the Zhou family is quite famous for antiques in Europe and the United States.”
“I don’t know if you have heard of them?”
Stella said with a smile: “Peter Zhou, his family is indeed quite famous in the Chinese antique circle.”
“They have been mainly engaged in Chinese antiques overseas for so many years.”
“From the beginning of the Opium War to the end of the Anti-Japanese War,”
“There are a large number of European and American antiques they dealt in.”
“Peter Zhou’s family’s main business is to take these Chinese antiques from overseas and then sell them.”
“Some precious cultural relics were often donated to China for free.”
“My grandfather often bought some from them in the past.”
“It’s just that he has gotten older and played less in the past few years.”
