Chapter 40: Hasselblad Camera

"Where did you get this camera?"

In Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, in a private pawnshop called Yuanhe Chang Dangdang, the salesperson of the pawnshop looked at the Hasselblad camera in his hand with some vigilance, and then asked the customers standing outside the counter cautiously.

"This ...... It was given to me by my previous girlfriend, my girlfriend is a foreigner, very rich! She is very generous to me, and often gives me very expensive gifts! This camera is one of the gifts she gave me, it is said that this camera is very expensive, it seems to be able to make a lot of money, right......"

"Oh...... But don't you feel like you've been disappointed by someone else's gift to you?"

The staff casually teased the other party, but her eyes never took off the camera in her hand. As a professional pawnbroker, it is impossible for her not to know how much the camera in her hand is worth. The Hasselblad H6D-100C medium format camera costs a whopping 1.4 million baht, which is enough to buy a house in the suburbs. But the customer in front of him looked as if he was an unemployed person on the street. Not only dressed ordinary. There is nothing to praise even the looks. It's a little strange that such a young man who can be seen everywhere in Thailand actually owns an expensive camera that costs up to one million baht?

"Excuse me, have you already seen it, how much money can you give me?"

"That's about 400,000 baht! This camera is a very old model, and you don't have any lenses or other accessories in your hands. Overall, because of the above reasons, the value of this camera has shrunk considerably!"

"I have the camera too, but I forgot it at home this time and didn't bring it with me. In this case, you can estimate the price for me according to the way you have the camera. I'm thinking about it when I decide to be wrong!"

"You still have the camera in your hand?"

"Of course, and there is more than one, there seem to be three or five! These things were given to me by my girlfriend, I said she loved me very much, she sent me a lot of photographic equipment, but now that we are separated, I want to take these things as a face-to-face and see these things and remember our life when we were together......"

The customer's eyes were a little evasive as they looked at the female clerk at the counter. To be honest, this lame explanation has aroused the suspicion of the clerk even more, although accepting this camera will definitely make Yuan Hechang and himself make a lot of money, but if this thing is stolen, it will also bring a lot of trouble to Yuan Hechang and himself, in the final analysis, although it is very important to make money, but if you get into any trouble, it will be worth the loss. What to do, let's ask the owner of this shop first. Thinking of this, the female employee said to the guest with a smile.

"Sir, could you wait a little bit here! I'd like to ask our boss to take a look at the camera. In any case, it was a transaction of hundreds of thousands of baht, and I was worried about what I would do if I looked away......"

"Why is it so troublesome, really!"

The customer complained impatiently, but finally nodded and agreed to the pawnshop staff's request.

The staff member said sorry, picked up the camera and walked into the room behind the counter, where the staff member stood on his feet and craned his neck to see where the staff member had gone, but was blocked by the high counter.

"Boss, this camera was just sent by a guest, I'm a little unsure of the authenticity of this camera, can you please help me take a look?"

The female employee sitting in front of the cabinet just now put the camera in front of the boss as she spoke.

Hearing that his employees were also unsure of what to eat, Songchai Shundawei, the boss of Yuan Hechang, hurriedly raised his head and wanted to see what it was!

When Somchai took over the Hasselblad camera from the female employee, Somchai realized that the camera might be real.

"Who sent it?"

Somchai asked his staff carefully

"He's just standing outside, looking like he's not dressed like someone who can afford to buy this camera, and although it's a good thing, I don't dare to take it easily, after all, if it's stolen goods, the police will probably punish us......"

The female employee reported to her boss with some concern. From her point of view, giving up this camera will make Yuan Hechang lose a chance to pick up a bargain, and accepting this camera may bring more trouble to Yuan Hechang, so the wisest choice is to hand it over to the boss to deal with.

"Well done, Savica, stabilize him first, I'll call an acquaintance I know at the police station and ask if there's a problem!"

The female employee, who was called Savika, was instructed by her boss to leave the camera early. Somchai took out his mobile phone and dialed the police officer he was familiar with.

"Hey, who's that?"

"Sir Apaiwang, I'm Somchai and the ...... who runs the pawnshop."

"Oh...... It's the boss of Yuanhechang! Why call me at this time, it's my working time!"

"I'm sorry, Sir Apaiwang, I have something to trouble you, I have a camera of unknown origin, I want you to check it for me, to see if this camera has been reported lost, this is a Swedish-made Hasselblad Hasselblad H6D-100C medium format camera, the number on it is XXX......"

"Wait a minute!"

Officer Apaiwang on the other end of the phone heard that it was such a trivial matter, and he was also happy to give Song a favor. So he opened the Thai police's lost and found system on the computer, and casually entered some basic information provided to him by Somchai. This system is specially used by the Thai police to deal with the inquiry system of foreigners lost valuables in Thailand, after all, Bangkok is also a tourist city, if there are too many thieves, tourists will not come here next time, you must know that tourism is the pillar industry of Thailand!

As the waiting icon on the screen suddenly disappeared, several similar messages appeared on the interface soon. There weren't many of them, only three or five in total, but when Apawang saw the one on the top of the list about the Hasselblad camera, he suddenly stretched his neck and almost pressed his face to the screen.

"Wait a minute, Songuess, what's the number you just said?"

"It's XXX, what's wrong, Chief Apaiwang!"

"Sonchai, don't let the person who sent this camera leave, I'll take someone over right away......"
