Four Vases (Daughters‪)‬

A fellow in a sport coat from England is looking for four ancient vases. He is the only person aware of what they might mean. He brings one of the four with him from England. He has leads on where the others may be.
The sport coat sneaks into several places, checking out vases looking for the next one.

His search leads to the world’s vase collector of all collectors. He may have one of the remaking three.
The sport coat brought with him two Chinese vases and all their documentations over thousands of years. He does not want to trade, but he will.
The old collector has one of the remaining vases but does not want to part with it for anything. Not because it is special, but he collects vases.
A deeper review shows the old collector may have two of the three vase he wishes. How can ever get both?

Meanwhile a couple is hired to find some vases for the old collector. They use less than legal means in their quest to save a buck. The sport coat and couple start to cross paths in their search but neither knows it.
A fourth party show up and begins a different search for the same vases. One vase maybe in a tavern and two people see that it might be a missing one. The fourth person takes up dancing at the tavern to better check out the vase.
Meanwhile two people are at the museum, where another vase maybe. The sport coat becomes aware of the couple looking for vases. Both are surprised when the vase in the museum is gone.
Another location for a vase maybe in the police impound. It will be auctioned off, soon.
Can the vase in the tavern is replaced with no one the wiser?

The dancer somehow ends up with all four vases and asks for some information at the university. They provide nothing but wish to see what see has. They know nothing about the vases but there is an inscription she has.

The dancer must call all the interested parties searching for the vases to a meeting. There it is decided that everyone will go on a dig in Africa to discover if the vase’s message is real or fake. All seven people leave for Africa.
Will they find the treasure promised by the vases?
