Su Baichang couldn't help but be stunned: "What did you say?" ”

Su Baichang's voice was a little loud, and even a slight echo could be heard in the small office. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but Su Baichang's expression was the same as just now, and he couldn't even detect surprise in his eyes.

I stopped clapping: "The story is well told, but it lacks logic. First of all, you said that a Frenchman sold a necklace to the Nanyang merchant you mentioned, but as far as I know, the situation in the early twentieth century was very different from today, when many Westerners were a little shy away from doing this kind of business with Orientals. In their opinion, the Orientals of the early twentieth century did not have much oil and water to squeeze in them, so they preferred to maneuver around the upper circles of all white people, and I think it is self-evident that there was discrimination against yellow-skinned people like us in those days. Doing business with people of color was not a common thing at a time when racial discrimination was very serious, and although at that time, in fact, there were some Oriental faces in the upper class of Europe who had immigrated from China, but the discrimination against people of color was still serious, and they would not easily sell these valuable treasures to Orientals who lived in their prejudices. But the French man in your story did the opposite, not only did he not sell the diamond necklace to the wealthy Bayern wealthy class, but also took the priceless diamond necklace all over the street, and the most important thing is that he found an Oriental, if I lived in that era, I would only have two thoughts about this Frenchman, one is a liar, and the other is that a madman will never touch what he sells to me, a liar will use fakes to cheat me out of my money, but a madman will go to me, which is a harm to me. But the Nanyang merchant in your story didn't turn down a deal that would seem obvious to ordinary people as a hoax. This is obviously a scam, and I don't think it is easy for a businessman from the last period to fall into this obvious trap, right? And if a man really wants to buy it and make money, why not put the diamond necklace and it directly in the jewelry store or the black market, wouldn't it be more expensive to raise the price? If you have to find a passer-by who doesn't know if you have money, it doesn't seem reasonable to look at it, right? The fact that neither of them is reasonable means that such a thing can never happen unless it is arranged in advance. So if it really happens, it means that this transaction can be arranged, and there will be another clue behind this necklace. You wouldn't have noticed this and easily believed the Nanyang merchant's words, right? I'm sure you wouldn't make such a mistake, so it means that you are hiding some plot from the story you told me, and as to why, I can only let you answer me. What motivates a French man to give up a lucrative business and 'sell' a priceless diamond necklace to a small trader who is not wealthy in those years of discrimination? Besides, as you mentioned at the beginning, this Nanyang merchant went to pick up his parents and go to Nanyang, and even if he finally got bad news and had to return to Nanyang alone, I don't think he had enough money to pay for such a high diamond necklace. Even if a French man sells at a very low price, but for a small businessman, it is a completely unnecessary luxury? Why would he go out of his way to buy it? When I think about it, I feel like you're just telling me an imaginary story. ”

"It's likely that this Nanyang merchant bought it out of patriotism. I don't want our country's things to be ruined by foreigners. Su Baichang pursed his lips. But he quickly stopped, for he realized by this time that his words could no longer fool me.

I sneered: "Patriotic? Don't forget, you later told me that he later sold it to an antique shop at a clear price. Isn't he afraid that the cultural relics of our country will run into the pockets of foreigners this time? In other words, wouldn't it be better for him to find a wealthy Chinese businessman to buy his collection. If it's as bizarre as your story is, I'm sure someone will buy it if they can find evidence, rather than just leaving it in an antique shop. ”

The expression on Su Baichang's face no longer wanted to be like just now, he listened to me with interest, he saw that I was no longer talking and asked me, "Do you have any other questions?" ”

I hesitated for a moment, looked at Su Baichang and asked, hesitating: "Can Boss Su tell me when you bought the necklace?" ”

"1991." Su Baichang thought for a moment before answering.

Hearing Su Baichang's answer, my heart sank, in 1991, I was just 2 years old, and it was the right time for Thailand.

But I didn't show the surprise in my heart, but continued to debunk the illogical parts of Su Baichang's story: "Didn't Boss Su also mention the age of the Nanyang businessman, which is what I suspected at the beginning. According to historical records, World War II lasted from September 1, 1939 to September 2, 1945. If my memory is correct, Britain and France were forced to declare war on Germany on September 3, 1939, but before that, Germany had already launched a series of horrific persecutions of Jews in the former Soviet Union, Poland, and even Germany itself. In your story, the purpose of the Nanyang merchant being sent out of France by his parents was to save him from being captured by the Gestapo, so the child would never have left France after the declaration of war, but should have left France during the Vichy government in France, so that the Nanyang merchant should have left between 1933 and 1939. He then fled back to China. Participated in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and was unfortunately captured by the Japanese invaders. In fact, the time of the Sino-Japanese War on the Chinese side began on July 7, 1937 with the Lugou Bridge Incident, and on December 13, 1937, the Japanese massacre in Nanjing lasted for six months, and according to incomplete statistics, the number of victims was as high as 350,000. The time of the Nanyang merchant's captivity should be between 1937 and 1942, and after that, counting the time of capture and the escape to the port after being rescued by well-wishers, it should have been after 1943. However, after fleeing to the South Seas, it must have been a long time before establishing a foothold. Until he can get his parents together and take them to Nanyang, it will last for a long time. A Nanyang businessman once told you that his parents died in a concentration camp, so from the earliest concentration camp liberated on January 27, 1945 was Auschwitz, to April 1945, when Dachau and other seven German Nazi concentration camps were liberated one after another, it can be roughly inferred that he was already in Nanyang in 1945. Because if he had remained in China at that time, he should have been able to receive telegrams about his parents' deaths, but no one knew that he was in Nanyang at that time, so there was a later incident when he returned to France to look for his parents. By the time he had saved up enough to get a ticket to France, and the cost of transporting his parents to Nanyang, he would have gone to France five years after the liberation of the concentration camps, and he should have found the relics of his parents in the ruins. Extrapolating from this way, if a man had left France in his teens, and in 1991, 54 years had passed since you bought the necklace he had consigned in Thailand, and it was common sense that if he was a man of old age, he would have sold his property by his children rather than himself. Especially for small objects like this, it should definitely be that the children are afraid that their fathers will find out, and secretly take them out and sell them on consignment. But according to what you said before, it doesn't look like a person who is in urgent need of money when he puts it in the store and doesn't care about it. ”

"If he has no children and no daughters, it's not unusual for him to sell something of value himself, and besides, diamonds must sell for a good price, right?" Su Baichang replied disapprenantly.

I sneered again: "Then it shouldn't be sold in the wrong place." ”

"How?" Su Baichang asked me with a frown.

I don't think Su Baichang doesn't know what I mean, but I still explained: "The jewelry store will get the money faster, even the owner of the antique store knows things, and I believe that this old man should not be unaware." Moreover, you said that he bought the necklace from the French in the first place to protect the national treasure, but his act of consignment was a bit of a slap in the face. I don't believe that an old man who was once so hearted would betray the principles he has always adhered to when he is not short of money. So I don't think he's trying to sell it, I think he must have done something else to do this seemingly crazy move. But that's exactly what you're hiding from me, aren't you? I looked at Su Baichang in confusion. To be honest, when I first heard the story, I didn't think there was anything wrong with the story, and I was fascinated by the beginning of this legendary story, but gradually, as there were more and more loopholes, more and more doubts arose in my heart. I believe this is not the real story that Su Baichang heard.

During the time I was talking, Su Baichang kept looking at me with a cup, and it wasn't until I finished speaking that Su Baichang put down the teacup in his hand, and this time he clapped his hands: "Wonderful!" Wonderful! Miss Mo's rebuttal was wonderful. I thought that by making up a similar story, I would be able to deceive Miss Mo into knowing something about the White Snake. But now it seems that if the old man really underestimated Miss Mo, he still made Miss Mo discover the flaws in the story. However, I did this because Miss Mo really didn't tell me the truth, did she? Su Baichang looked into my eyes and asked.

I raised my head to meet his gaze, the corners of my mouth curled slightly, and I gently blew the waste water in the teacup in front of me and whispered: "Boss Su's words this time, I can't understand it even more." ”
