Chapter 1141: Normal and Abnormal

After the antique market opened, the number of Tibetan friends who came was about hundreds.

There are also some retail investors, as well as some antique lovers from all over the country, plus the staff of the market, adding up to the number of people gathered in the entire market.

The management model here basically follows the rules and regulations that Xu Ran had previously customized.

The booths in the exhibition area will be open to some merchants and retail investors who apply for booths and the antiques to be displayed need to be remarked and verified in the market first, so as to avoid the situation of replacing the real with the fake.

In fact, there is an invisible monitoring installed at each booth, so you can keep an eye on some developments in those exhibition areas at any time.

After the opening of the market, there are more people who come to hang out in the exhibition area, and even some members also like to walk around the exhibition area before the auction starts, which causes a relatively large flow of people.

However, in the crowd, a middle-aged man who looked very ordinary and inconspicuous in his dress and appearance, he wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, a hat that was also a very common dome hood, and a very common tweed trench coat, and the overall temperament looked like the popular attire of intellectuals in the thirties of the last century.

This look, in fact, can be said to be very old-fashioned in modern times, but this place in Xiacheng is not a metropolis with fashion trends, and some of the wearing styles of ordinary people are also more retro, and generally older people from the countryside will wear them like this, but there will be nothing special.

However, at this time.

Xu Ran sat in the office, and the monitor on the large screen in front of him called the monitoring in the market, and more than a dozen pictures in the monitoring were all taken from different angles to show the middle-aged man.

Xu Ran sat at the desk, half a cup of tea in the teacup next to him, and his eyes were still sliding on the mobile phone screen when his eyes were fixed on this middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man shown in the surveillance is Zheng Wenze, a person who has died three times, but has three different identities.

This is still due to Xu Ran's powerful artificial intelligence to analyze the genetic characteristics of this person, and only then did he get such a result.

And this person's triple identity has never been noticed by anyone.

There are millions of people in the country who call Zheng Wenze the name, and this person has been using this name, and after he died once, he changed places, and then died again.

Every time he appears, he is in a different place, with a different identity, and naturally it will not arouse the suspicion of others.

However, it is also a suspicious point, that is, every identity of this person is no spouse, no relatives and children, and no family, and he has always been a single dog, but the industries he is engaged in are all similar, all related to the antique industry.

And his three deaths were relatively normal, two were seriously ill, and one was overboard.

Xu Ran checked the treatment after his death, and his body was cremated and buried in the cemetery.

But herein lies the suspicions.

He died, and his body had been burned, and then he appeared in the next place to change his identity and 'resurrect', and his appearance was still very similar.

What's even more bizarre is that in the local household registration files, it is really possible to find the relevant information of this person.

When Xu Ran saw these materials, he was also very surprised.

Then he looked up the name Zheng Wenze out of curiosity, and he unexpectedly found that there were twelve Zheng Wenze, all from different places in Tiannan and Haibei, but they all had the same characteristics on the household registration information, that is, they were of the same age, single and unmarried, either their parents died early, or they were orphans and did business in other places.

After such an investigation, Xu Ran suspected that the names and household registration information of these twelve Zheng Wenze may all point to one person, and he can keep switching between these twelve identities, and the way of switching is also very strange, that is, after he dies, he will change to the next identity.

In this case, if you put it in the eyes of those intelligence agencies, or maybe it could be a long-term sleeper spy or something.

But Xu Ran didn't think so.

Because the price of switching identities through death is definitely not something that people can afford, normal people die once and are completely gone, so what's the use of having so many identities?

Unless he is not a person, but a group, this group can use this identity.

But how can it be that even DNA is exactly the same between people, even if it is cloned, it may not be exactly the same, which is not in line with scientific common sense at all.

Unless he's not human, it's possible that he's some unknown, mysterious species that doesn't come from Earth.

Even Xu Ran wondered if this was a merman lurking in again.

But soon he overturned this speculation, Xu Ran already knew a shark deep enough, if this Zheng Wenze was a shark disguise, it would still be easy to distinguish.

It was only after Xu Ran found out about these strange things that he felt that this was really too strange, and he wanted to observe it for himself to see what was different about this person.

At this time, judging from the monitoring, this Zheng Wenze is indeed no different from ordinary people, and there will be some habitual small movements such as pushing glasses.

When he wandered around the booth, he didn't seem to be particularly interested in any collection, but he usually communicated with the stall owner and commented on the other party's collection, which made people feel that the antique expertise was very rich and profound.

About fifteen minutes passed.

The auction was about to start, and then the members who were wandering around the exhibition area entered the auction hall one after another.

But this Zheng Wenze did not enter the auction hall and still wandered around the exhibition area.

According to the information obtained by Xu Ran, the agreement signed by Zheng Wenze and the company is a carte carte blanche auction, and he does not need to be on the spot, but only needs to end the auction at the end, and after the settlement of the fee and commission is completed, he will hand over the money at a suitable time.

So he's free, he doesn't have to come, and he doesn't have to inform the company to know.

But since Xu Ran received the news, he felt that this Zheng Wenze would definitely come to the antique market.

Sure enough, he quickly searched for the dead man with multiple identities in the surveillance.

Since he has died three times, this should be the fourth identity he uses that ordinary people can't find suspicious, or Zheng Wenze, who is still an antique dealer.

Xu Ran watched the surveillance for a while, and saw that this Zheng Wenze was really acting too normal, and he couldn't detect anything else suspicious, so he was ready to switch to the auction site to take a look.

However, just as Xu Ran was about to switch, suddenly a small anomaly appeared in another part of the exhibition area that attracted Xu Ran's attention.

The booths in that area are a bit out of the way, and most of the people who rent booths here often don't choose there.

Only newcomers, or newcomers who have never done anything to know each other, will choose that place, because the booth fee in that place will be cheaper.

However, at this time, an old man squatting next to the booth at booth No. 3 in the exhibition area was surrounded by three guests visiting the booth, and the two sides had a verbal dispute, seemingly for an inconspicuous collection in the booth.

At this time, Zheng Wenze seemed to hear what words were mentioned in the quarrel, but he stopped wandering around, and walked directly towards the booth quickly.

Seeing this situation, Xu Ran pressed a button and said to Lehua, who was in charge of patrolling security: "Huazi, go to booth No. 3 in Area D to take a look and maintain order, find out what they have a quarrel with, and report to me at any time......"

After explaining, Xu Ran looked at the booth in the surveillance again, because Huazi brought people to maintain order, and several people didn't quarrel.

Huazi turned on the voice, and Xu Ran could also hear their voices.

It turned out that the old man originally planned to sell a statue, but after seeing that no one cared, he privately took out a collection from his bag that had not been verified and registered by the market, and was favored by a person who visited the booth.

The man was about to inquire about the price, but two more people took a fancy to it and asked, and the three of them quarreled over the first-come, first-served question, and even made bids to buy it.

After Hua Zi brought someone over, he stopped the quarrel between the three of them, and at the same time told the old man that he had taken out the item without permission, did not register the information in the market, and violated the rules of the market, and asked him to register and verify it, so that the guests would not be blinded and buy fakes or fakes.

The old man stubbornly said that it was his treasure, it could not be fake, and he could not afford to pay the appraisal fee for verifying the registration, so he was unwilling to register.

Huazi was almost laughed at by the old man at that time, and couldn't help but rush a little in tone: "It's a special registration fee of 100 yuan, and you actually said that you can't afford it, so you rent this booth for 500 yuan a day, why are you so generous?"

At this time, Zheng Wenze walked over, and after he carefully looked at the old man's collection, he actually took the initiative to say: "I'll help him pay for this registration, and I can also help him guarantee that the collection he took out privately is indeed true, if something goes wrong, I will be fully responsible, what do you think of this brother?"

Hua Zi couldn't help but be suspicious when he saw that someone came over and took the initiative to take care of this matter, but at this time, Xu Ran's voice came back to his ears: "Go according to the rules, let the old man register, and bring this person who is willing to vouch for it!"

After Huazi heard this, he said: "Okay, you go to the registration office with me, what do you think, old man, people will help you pay the fee and guarantee you, will you go?"

"Go, I'll ......"

The old man was really greedy for this little bargain, so he packed up his things and wanted to go with him.

Seeing this, the other three people who were competing for the collection also shouted that they could also guarantee that it was true, and they were willing to pay a registration fee, but they were also ready to buy it.

Hua Zi's ears came with instructions again: "Bring them all, I want to see who will end up with this old man's things!"

"I, I'm not selling!"

The old man suddenly changed his mind at this time and said such a thing.

As a result, the people were left speechless for a while.
