"Wait a minute. Without waiting for the old lady to finish speaking, Gu Chen instantly interrupted: "Are you sure that these titles are true?" Or are you not sure either?"

"This ......," the old lady was speechless for a moment.

"Is that uncertain?" Gu Chen asked.

"Almost, but not really. The old lady hesitated for a moment, then said, "However, I have seen the various trophies and certificates in his office, and they do say that the director of the Greater China Art Appraisal Center is the director, and he also has many certificates on the bookcase." ”

"Are those so-called ceramic experts, gem experts, and ancient coin experts' certificates?" asked Lu Weiwei.

This time the old lady didn't speak, just nodded silently.

Gu Chen was also a little nerve-wracked and said, "I said old man, I think you must have made a mistake." ”

"Got it wrong?" the old lady was puzzled, and hurriedly asked Gu Chen: "How is this a mistake? I also used my mobile phone to check, and people do have this organization." ”

Gu Chen pressed his hand, asked the old lady to stop first, and patiently explained: "Old man, let me tell you this, but all these so-called institutions, at every turn, it is what is China, and what is the beginning of the global Chinese, you have to pay attention." ”

"Although these organizations exist and have been registered, most of them are not authoritative institutions, but privately registered. ”

"Nowadays, many associations and organizations that start with Greater China, or Global Chinese, are not allowed most of the time. ”

"Of course, what you see on the Internet is not necessarily true, the key to this kind of association organization is to see the authority, but most of them are post, they are all in the industrial chain, and their own people give themselves the awards and certificates, the gold content is very low, and some are even simply selling dog meat on the head of a sheep. ”

"That's right. Lu Weiwei on the side also agreed: "We have investigated and dealt with an association and organization that starts with some global Chinese, which is basically a shell organization, old lady, you have to keep your eyes open." ”

Although I don't know what happened to the old lady, judging from the old lady's account, it seems that it is inseparable from this appraisal agency and the appraisal experts recommended by the appraisal agency.

Nie Xiaoyu also asked impatiently: "What about later? What did the so-called appraisal expert Liu Deming say?"

He said that it is estimated that this thing is from the Yuan Dynasty and should be very valuable. The old lady said.

"Go on. Gu Chen frowned and listened carefully to every detail.

The old lady nodded and said, "Liu Deming helped me identify it, and said it was from the Yuan Dynasty, but I remember that it didn't take long for a market staff to walk in and say that he could help sell it." ”

"Routines, definitely routines. Lu Weiwei was very problematic when she heard this, so she looked at the old lady and asked, "Then what did he tell you later?"

The old lady lowered her head, and her voice was a little weak: "They said that the market determines its value, for example, if you go to the general market, for example, if you go to Baodao and Southeast Asia, it may be sold for more than 2 million yuan." ”

"But if you go to the United States or Dibai, or Canada in North America, it is possible to sell it for 3 million yuan or 5 million yuan. ”

"Oh my God. Gu Chen was a little incredulous, this was just a short period of time, and the old lady's ancient coin could be sold for a high price of five million yuan.

Gu Chen, who didn't know much about this business, couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If this is really worth so much money, then you will really make a lot of money, can they really help you identify the value of ancient coins, and they really don't charge any appraisal fees?"

"No. The old lady shook her head, but soon, she changed her tone and said, "Although the appraisal fee is not charged, they need to charge a service fee. ”

When Gu Chen heard this, he looked at Lu Weiwei and Nie Xiaoyu beside him, feeling that he still had to collect money?

"How much do you want to charge?" Nie Xiaoyu was curious, don't want it.

After eating the noodles, the old lady wrenched her fingers with both hands and said, "They said, for example, the prices in these three markets are not the same as the prices in these three markets, so the service fees are also different." ”

"The auction on the treasure island is 31,600 yuan, the auction in Southeast Asia is 38,000 yuan, and the auction in Dibai, the United States, North America and Canada is about 68,000 yuan a piece. ”

"Wait, didn't you say that there would be no charge?" Nie Xiaoyu became more and more confused the more he listened, and he also retorted and asked: "I said that the old lady, they don't charge appraisal fees, but they do charge service fees?

"Yes, it's still so tall?" Lu Weiwei also felt incredible.

The old lady said lightly: "The staff over there said that they do not charge appraisal fees, but they have to charge service fees for selling things." ”

"Moreover, the more expensive we want to sell, the higher the service fee. ”

"Then what if it can't be sold?" Gu Chen asked.

The old lady was a little weak and said, "This ...... At the beginning, they said they could definitely sell it, but they couldn't sell it, so what did they do with me? What's the point of the company there?"

"I thought at the time, if this ancient coin can really be exchanged for 5 million, when it is sold, we will leave 60,000 8 to others, which will also be earned. ”

"But the other party said that you were wrong, and the 60,000 8 had to be paid now. ”

"So this money has to be paid in advance?" Gu Chen had already guessed that there was something to do, so he couldn't help asking.

"Yes. The old lady nodded silently and said, "This money has to be paid in advance, otherwise, how can they help me sell it?" The company also said that they are not a charity. ”

"As long as you pay a service fee of tens of thousands of yuan, you can directly help me sell it in exchange for more than 5 million cash, how many people can resist such a temptation?"

"I thought at the time, or I would agree, thinking that there were tens of thousands of dollars in savings at home, I would take them out and hand them over, so that the two parties could sign a contract. ”

"Wait a minute. Gu Chen suddenly interrupted her and asked, "Old man, since you signed a contract with someone else, it stands to reason that it should be guaranteed, so did you sell this ancient coin or not?"

"Nope. The old lady was in a terrible mood at the moment, and said, "They first said that they had taken the ancient coins to the United States, and that everything was going well. ”

When I went to the appraisal company again, they told me that my lot had been registered and that the auction house was arranging the auction house according to the process. ”

"But because there are so many auction items to be taken to the United States, my lot needs to be ranked according to the regulations. ”

But when I asked them how long they were going to be in line, they told me that if it was fast, it would be a month or two, and if it was slow, it might not be half a year. ”

"So long?" Nie Xiaoyu heard this, and the whole person was also angry: "Isn't this bluffing?

"yes, that's what I thought at the time. The old lady told the truth, and sighed faintly, and said, "I can't wait for this, I told them so bluntly." ”

Later, the manager in charge of the market told me that it was not impossible to cut the queue, because to arrange the auction house in the United States, you need to register in advance, and then follow the procedures there to queue up for the auction. ”

"Because there are so many items in the auction, some people will go through the back door and give the auction house a certain benefit fee through the commission company, the higher the price, the shorter the queue time. ”

"When I heard it, 68,000 had already been sold anyway, and if I could auction this ancient coin for a high price of 5 million, it would be worth it. ”

"At that time, my brain was hot, and I was a little desperate, thinking that my son was not married yet, and the down payment on the house had not yet been settled, and as a mother, I always had to fight for my son. ”

"So, so I took the old house in Wujia Alley to the mortgage company to repay the cash. ”

Hearing this, Gu Chen also said in disbelief: "I said old man, you really took the house as a mortgage, don't you know that there is a lot of risk in this?"

"I know. The old lady said in a weak tone, "But what can I do?

"I thought that if I used the money to pay for the auction house in the United States, maybe I could get a quicker arrangement. ”

"As long as the auction cycle is short and the cash returns quickly, my old house can be redeemed quickly, but now it ......"

Looking at her current situation, the old lady was sad, and directly covered her face and cried.

"Old lady, old lady, are you okay?" Lu Weiwei also quickly patted her on the back.

In fact, everyone can already see that the appraisal company is deceiving people.

But the old lady believes that a large part of the reason is also the desperate desire to buy a suite for her son.

And when he was powerless, suddenly one day, a surprise fell on his head.

The ancient coins at home were worth 5 million overnight.

This has to be replaced by other people, and it may not be so easy to deceive, but the old lady wants money, and she will inevitably fall into the trap.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen also asked her directly: "Old man, tell me the truth, how much money did you put into it?"

"I'm ......" The old lady glanced at Gu Chen, and then said frankly: "I'll tell you the truth, comrade police, in addition to the service fee invested before, that is, the 68,000 yuan, I have invested 200,000 yuan successively, and these are all the money I got from mortgaging the old house." ”

"Now the auction over there has not been arranged, and my house here can't be recovered, and I am anxious to see the interest doubling day by day. ”

"Then where do you live these days when you don't have a house?" Lu Weiwei was also very curious about this.

The old lady shook her head and said, "I still have some balance in my hand before, and I can live in a nearby hotel. ”

"But in the end, I didn't even have the little balance I had left, and I didn't dare tell my son. ”

"So, these days, I've been picking up garbage for a living and eating some leftovers. ”

Looking at Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Nie Xiaoyu's immature cheeks, the old lady said again: "After all, I also suffered, the natural disasters back then, when I was hungry, it was much better than now." ”

"So you don't have a place to stay these days?" Gu Chen asked.

The old lady shook her head: "No, there is a utility room near the old house, I know that the owner over there has long moved out, and the windows of the old house are also broken, so I will live there for many days." ”

"As long as my ancient coins can be sold quickly, I can buy a big house, I can redeem the old house, and everything will come. ”

Seeing the old lady looking up at the sky and looking forward to the future, Gu Chen really didn't want to hit her.

Because at this moment, everyone realizes that the old lady's thinking is a little delirious in the devastation of these days.

Although I can tell everyone about the process of auctioning ancient coins, in terms of thinking, I was brainwashed by this appraisal company at the time, and I still believe that my ancient coin is at the American auction house on the other side of the ocean at this moment.

"What's the name of that company?" Gu Chen didn't think much about it anymore, and asked the old lady directly.

"Profit...... Limin Appraisal Company. The old lady said.

Gu Chenxin said that the harm to the people was almost the same, and after looking left and right, he said: "In this way, old lady, there are still a few spare rooms in the police dormitory of our Furong Branch, you live there first, as for the auction you said, we will help you implement it, what do you think?"

The old lady was also shocked by Gu Chen's words, and the whole person couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Gu Chen in disbelief, as if there were doubts in her mind.

"Old lady, trust us, we police. Lu Weiwei was afraid that the old lady would hesitate too much, and she was reminded of the identities of the two again.

"Oh well. The old lady sighed and nodded in agreement: "Then thank you comrade police." ”

In the dead end near the intersection of Wujia Alley, everyone helped the old lady clean up briefly, and then drove her back to the Furong Branch.

I also said hello to the police officers who managed the dormitory, and everyone put the spare bedding and some daily necessities into the room.

After a brief cleaning, the old lady fell asleep quietly.

And Nie Xiaoyu also promised that these days, the old lady can go to eat for free in the canteen of the Furong Branch.

Gu Chen asked her if she wanted the paper contract.

I have to say that although the old lady is covered with dirt all over her body, only this contract is kept clean.

......

......

Following.

Furong Branch, Office of Criminal Investigation Group 3.

Looking at Officer Wang, who came to work with a spring face, Lu Weiwei couldn't help asking: "Lao Wang, how did you do your finishing homework last night?"

"It's okay. Officer Wang picked up the thermos cup on the table, went to the door to fill it with hot water, and then walked back leisurely: "Lao Ding, they did a good job." ”

"All the important documents of this Feitian media company have been intercepted by us, and together with the main backbone members of this company, they have also been brought back for investigation. ”

"Now we not only have sufficient evidence, but even the personnel are also in a pot, which is called a cool, but it is a pity that Lao Ding is cheaper. ”

"It's like I've heard someone saying bad things about me again. It was also when Officer Wang's voice just finished that Officer Ding also walked in from outside the door and said, "Old Wang, is it you?"

"Huh. Officer Wang laughed dryly twice and said, "How dare I say that you are Lao Ding?

"I thought it would take a long time, but I didn't expect that when Yuan Shasha and I rushed to the scene, Lao Ding was preparing to return. ”

"Yes, Senior Brother Ding is really efficient. Just as everyone was talking, Yuan Shasha also followed several probationary police officers and walked into the office from the doorman.

She glanced at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, and asked weakly, "Senior Brother Gu and Senior Sister Lu, how were you doing last night?"

"Yes. Lu Weiwei looked weak.

Yuan Shasha, who put down the bag, was puzzled with the water glass: "How is it? The situation is very bad, right?"

"It's not just bad. Gu Chen shook his head and said, "This old lady was deceived and ruined, but until now she still believes that she will soon be able to get 5 million." ”

"Poof!"

Hearing this, Officer Wang couldn't help but sip tea, and said in disbelief: "This old lady is crazy, isn't it? 5 million?

Gu Chen pouted, Wei Wei nodded, and also pointed to her head: "The old lady does have a problem here, she wants to get rich and want to go crazy." ”

"But the most problematic thing is this agency called 'Limin Appraisal Company', I think this company is suspected of fraud and illegal activities, and I want to investigate. ”

"Okay. Yuan Shasha, who was sitting behind Gu Chen, immediately raised her hand in favor and said, "Such a company should be severely punished, can the action be counted as one of me?"

Gu Chen shook his head: "I don't think we should startle the snake, I still want to investigate it, I don't need too many people." ”

also looked at Yuan Shasha's disappointed look, Lu Weiwei said with a smile: "Xiao Yuan, I won't take you this time, I discussed with Senior Brother Gu last night, we want to go to this company as a customer to find out." ”

"That's fine. Drinking the wolfberry tea in the thermos cup, Officer Wang nodded silently: "Then what are you going to take to identify?

"It's okay. Gu Chen looked at Lu Weiwei in the front row, and also said with a smile: "I have already discussed with Senior Sister Lu last night, I will go to the antique market later, buy some small objects casually, and take them there for identification." ”

"That's right, there are a lot of simulated antiques over there, which can be used as a touchstone, so that this appraisal company can open its eyes and see what kind of goods these so-called experts are. Lu Weiwei couldn't wait.

Officer Wang was stunned, and suddenly laughed: "Anyway, you still have brains, so it's okay, then you can do it according to your plan today, and the place where the evidence should be collected must not be left behind." ”

"Do you still need to say Lao Wang, you have to. Lu Weiwei dragged out the drawer, ready to go.

She and Gu Chen wore civilian clothes today, just to facilitate their movements.

It was also after briefly discussing the details with everyone that Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei drove away and went to the antique market in Furong District, Jiangnan City.

"What's the best touchstone?" Lu Weiwei in the car couldn't help but turn her head and ask Gu Chen, who was driving.

Gu Chen smiled: "Don't think about it, just use the kind of object that the old lady took for identification." ”

"Ice cream?" Lu Weiwei said suddenly.

Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, and asked her with a smile: "I said Senior Sister Lu, are you mistaken? It's an ancient coin, not ice cream." ”

"I'm not mistaken? I'm talking about this ice cream parlor next door to the antique shop. Lu Weiwei pointed to an antique ice cream shop outside and couldn't help but sip her saliva.
