Looking at the curvy appearance of her hair, no matter how much Ms. Zhu didn't want to believe it in her heart, the truth would not change, her pendant, which she regarded as a treasure, was made of worthless thin water.

Ms. Zhu silently put away the pendant and said to Meng Zitao: "Mr. Meng, I don't know if it is inconvenient for you to go to my house?"

"No problem if it's not far. Meng Zitao saw that this was Ms. Zhu wanting to settle accounts with her husband, and then persuaded: "You don't have to be so angry, it is understandable that we ordinary consumers were deceived by thin water materials." ”

The probability of what he said is indeed not low, and if this is indeed the case, he must always remind him, so as not to wronged people.

"My house is not far from here, just two stops away. Ms. Zhu said: "If I was really deceived, I won't blame him, what should I do, anyway, the invoice is still there, you can go to the store to settle the account, if it goes out of business, you can only consider yourself unlucky." ”

Meng Zitao nodded.

After leaving the police station, I took a taxi to her house for a while.

When Ms. Li opened the door, she heard a man's voice coming: "Why did you come back so late today?"

Ms. Li invited Meng Zitao into the house, and Meng Zitao saw the owner of the voice, a rather manly middle-aged man who looked younger than Ms. Li, in fact, he was a full five years older than Ms. Li, it can be seen that he is well maintained, but the disadvantage is that his hair is a little thin.

When the man saw Meng Zitao, he was a little strange and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"He's the expert I brought in. Ms. Li replied.

"What expert?" the man looked even more strange.

Ms. Li said: "Identification experts. ”

"Uh......" The man was stunned, "Do we have anything in the house to identify?"

Ms. Li said: "Of course there is, for example, the jade bracelet you bought me two years ago. ”

The man's brows furrowed slightly: "Okay, why are you appraising that jade bracelet, you don't want to sell it, do you?"

Ms. Li said: "No way, I don't feel at ease if I don't identify it, just like this pendant." ”

With that, she took out the pendant and put it on the coffee table.

The man glanced at the pendant on the coffee table and said, "What the hell does it mean, can you make it clearer?"

Ms. Li told the previous story, looked at the man and said, "Zong Yifeng, can you tell me what is going on?"

Zong Yifeng was also taken aback when he learned that the pendant was made of thin water, and hurriedly used the method used by Meng Zitao just now to identify it, and then said with a little frustration: "How could it be?"

"I'm going to ask you!" Ms. Li said angrily.

Zong Yifeng's tone was also a little bad: "What do you mean by this, it seems that I deliberately bought a fake to give it to you." Besides, the store also told me that if there was a problem with the thing, I could go to him to return it. ”

"You believe whatever he says?"

"Otherwise, if he said so, I would definitely believe him, otherwise what would I do?"

Zong Yifeng turned his head to look at Meng Zitao: "How do you experts deal with it at this time?"

Meng Zitao said: "Like our experienced experts, you can generally see directly, if you are an ordinary consumer, you don't have much experience in this area, consult clearly when you buy, and ask the merchant whether this ring is hollowed out internally." If the merchant himself is not clear, then needless to say, just leave. ”

"If the merchant guarantees that it is not hollowed out, then the buyer can say, find a inlay shop to open before the transaction, if it is not hollowed out, pay if it is not hollowed out! ”

Ms. Li pointed to Zong Yifeng's head: "Look at it, what a good way, why didn't you think of it?"

"I'm not an expert. Zong Yifeng muttered: "Besides, if there is a problem, we can return it." ”

"It's been two years, is that store still open?"

Ms. Li glared at her husband and continued, "I'll go and get the bracelet and see if there's any problem." ”

"How can there be a problem with buying it in a regular mall?"

"If there is a problem, let Mr. Meng know when he sees it. ”

Ms. Li went back to the room to get the bracelet, and Zong Yifeng smiled at Meng Zitao: "Mr. Meng, thank you, today's matter is thanks to you." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and said that it was just a gesture, and thought in his heart that this Yi Feng was probably scolding himself in his stomach for being nosy.

However, if Zong Yifeng really thinks so, then he is very wrong, this thin water material is too fragile after all, there is no problem now, but Ms. Li keeps it well, in case it is bumped into one day, the consequences may be worse than now, at least there is still the possibility of returning it.

Of course, if Zong Yifeng lied, it would be a different result.

After a while, Ms. Li went to get the bracelet and asked Meng Zitao to help identify it.

This is a bracelet made of ice jadeite, ice jadeite generally belongs to the upper middle or mid-range jadeite, as for this pair of bracelets, although the color is good, but the texture is still a little worse, the water head is not very sufficient, it belongs to the ice jadeite in the more general.

On the whole, this bracelet should be in the early 100,000s with its current market value, and if it had been bought two years ago, it would have cost tens of thousands.

"Mr. Meng, is there a problem with this bracelet?"

"The ice species is verdant, the water head is OK, basically good. Of course, Meng Zitao still picked up the good words.

"I said, how can there be a problem. Zong Yifeng said with a smile.

Ms. Li ignored him and asked, "And how much is this bracelet worth now?"

Meng Zitao replied: "It's in the early 100,000s." ”

Ms. Li exclaimed: "Ah! It's only a little over 100,000 yuan? Zong Yifeng, tell me how much money you spent on it in the first place!"

Zong Yifeng also had an incredible look: "I said you're not mistaken, I bought it for 150,000 yuan, and now it's only more than 100,000 yuan?"

Meng Zitao said: "Mr. Zong, I am talking about the market price, if you think what I said is wrong, you can go to other experts for consultation, and this is only the market price, if you choose to sell now, it will definitely be cheaper." ”

Ms. Li said angrily: "Someone else Mr. Meng is an expert, don't you know better than you? I can't figure it out, did you have a problem with your eyes at the beginning, and you would have paid such a high price to buy it, or did you spend your money somewhere else?"

"Don't be cranky, where do I get anywhere else to spend money. Zong Yifeng suddenly said: "Oh, I remember, when I looked at this bracelet, it was obviously much better than now." ”

"In that case, why didn't you find out later?"

"Didn't I give you the bracelet directly, I didn't think much about it when I saw you so happy. ”

Zong Yifeng immediately diverted the words: "Mr. Meng, I obviously thought it was much better than this, why did such a change occur when I bought it, it is impossible to drop the bag." ”

"Was the bracelet placed on top of plastic paper?" Meng Zitao asked.

Zong Yifeng frowned and thought for a while: "It seems to be the case, I don't remember it clearly, could it be that this plastic paper has a great impact?"

Meng Zitao said: "There will definitely be an impact, and if it is accompanied by some other measures, the impact will be great." ”

You will find a phenomenon in many jade shops, many jade bracelets worth tens of thousands of dollars are only used a piece of plastic paper pad underneath, instead of using high-grade brocade, is the merchant does not pay attention to the packaging?

Because the plastic paper has a good reflective effect, it can reflect the light from the light, and the light passing through the bracelet will make the jade more transparent, and the same is true for using acrylic plate as the bottom plate.

In addition, the temperature rises due to the long-term exposure of spotlights in the booth, so you can put a glass of water, and the water vapor in the water cup can effectively maintain the humidity in the booth and make the jade more moist.

In addition, the lights of the jade shop are usually very bright, and the number of lamps is very large, and the light is penetrating, so looking at the jade under the light will make the jade more transparent than the real thing, and will also make the color of the jade itself more gorgeous and rich.

Therefore, when jadeite experts identify jade, they often choose to do it in natural light, which makes it easier to find flaws.

After listening to Meng Zitao's explanation, Zong Yifeng was annoyed: "Hey, it's all my fault, if I didn't know a little about jade, I wouldn't have fallen for it." ”

Ms. Li was very angry: "You person, I don't even know how to say that you are good! Since you don't understand, what kind of jade to buy!"

Zong Yifeng nodded again and again to express repentance: "Yes, yes, it's really not good for me, Mr. Meng, can the price of this bracelet be a little higher?"

Meng Zitao shook his head: "It's difficult, you look at a few colors here. ”

Zong Yifeng leaned over to take a look, and subconsciously said, "This place shouldn't be considered a color, right?"

When Meng Zitao heard him say this, the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

According to research, no matter how huge the amount of information that the human brain can process, for most of us, we can only think finitely at a certain point in time, and the cognitive resources in the same time period are limited, and it is difficult for us to "do two things".

Therefore, if you add additional "thinking" to the ordinary thought process, you will have a cognitive load, which in layman's terms is "brain-draining". For example, when a person is talking on the phone while driving, if most of the attention is on the phone, it is easy to cause accidents.

When it comes to identifying lies, liars tend to think about not only the story but also the wording, and they are very worried about the consistency of the story, so they tend to use the words and phrases that have been thought out repeatedly. In this way, if there are problems or measures that make it difficult for the other party to maintain the logic of the lie, it will be able to see through it.

It's like Meng Zitao just played a little trick, which made Zong Yifeng show his flaws.
