Su Baichang put down the teacup and laughed, I was a little confused by Su Baichang's emotions and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Although Su Baichang stopped laughing, the corners of his mouth were still grinning: "You kid is really interesting." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

I looked at Su Baichang quietly, and I didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in this man's gourd. Seeing that I was still nervous, I finally spoke: "Little friend, if one day I run to your house with a photo of your family heirloom that you just lost, and ask if you know what is on the photo, what will you think of me?" ”

I didn't answer, just watched his performance quietly as I did just now, and seeing my somewhat helpless expression, Su Baichang sat back on the sofa opposite: "Okay, I admit that when you asked us about the 'White Snake' at the beginning, I did think that you had something to do with the theft, after all, we just lost the 'White Snake', and someone approached us to ask about it, and it is not a normal phenomenon for a necklace that is not famous, but it is not a normal phenomenon that it is noticed after being stolen." First of all, thieves and peers will not come over to do more, if the necklace is valuable, put it away by yourself, and it is more comfortable to sell it on the black market to make a big profit; The baby is not good, and he will not give it to his peers, which is small if he is recognized, and it is not worth it to smash his own golden signboard. Then there is only one kind of person who will come to us stupidly and ask us about the life experience of the treasure in his hand, that is, I don't know if the white snake wants to see if he is a customer who has been tricked. I began to really think that the White Snake was in the hands of Miss Mo, so I made up a stock to talk about Miss Mo's bottom. But Miss Mo was not only surprised or informative when she heard my story, but even spoke coldly to the tiger, which made the old man have another idea, could it be that Miss Mo has heard some letter recently and wants to find out some news from me? Although it was a question, the tone at the end of the sentence did not speak in a non-negotiable tone that expressed the affirmation in Su Baichang's heart, and the doubts in his eyes showed his doubts about my identity.

I didn't want to sell it anymore, so I said bluntly: "I was entrusted to help recover this necklace, and according to what the client said, this is the last place where this necklace appeared." But she told me very clearly that you can't buy a necklace here, but she didn't tell me why. To help her find the necklace, I decided to find the answer from you. I didn't give Su Baichang any chance to reply, and continued, "But it seems that I have got the answer I wanted, this necklace was stolen in your shop." I pretended to be the first time I knew about it, got up and prepared to leave. But I knew that Su Baichang would definitely stop me in order to figure out the client behind me, so I was just putting on a show.

Sure enough, Su Baichang stopped me: "Miss Mo, don't you want to leave in a hurry." I think there are other things that you should be more interested in. ”

I sat back on the sofa and looked at Su Baichang and laughed. Although he is no longer as arrogant as he was just now, his eyes are still as cunning as if he had passed through an old fox: "Does your client think that this necklace is very valuable?" ”

I smiled and shook my head, "Not really." Instead, she said that the necklace wasn't worth investing in right now. ”

"Oh?" Su Baichang didn't show a surprised or other exaggerated expression, but just issued a question word, motioning for me to continue.

I half-closed my eyes, in order not to let Su Baichang see my eyes, because I subconsciously turned to the right when I made up a lie: "No, although the client didn't make up a legendary story for me like you, she told me another thing that you haven't mentioned." ”

Su Baichang's gaze became a little vigilant: "What's the matter?" ”

I shrugged my shoulders: "She didn't make it clear to me either, she just said that although this necklace is only worth the price of an ordinary antique at most, even if it is put up at auction, it will not be much higher than the price of the actual material." I didn't repeat Mi Zhen's words that the necklace used to belong to the big guys, but made up a false lie to cover it up, "Although I wonder why someone would reward me with a lot of money to find a necklace that is not very valuable, but the temptation of receiving the honorarium, I still took the commission, which is why you see me here today." Most coincidentally, I had just received the request and saw a similar product in your store in a TV interview. I smiled and stopped talking, thinking in my heart what kind of reason Su Baichang would use to refute me in a while, or make up another story for me.

When Su Baichang heard this, his originally stiff face couldn't help but relax, and he pulled out a smile: "I really underestimated you." But after listening to you, I'm very curious about your current career. ”

I still laughed and didn't say anything.

Su Baichang saw that I didn't speak, so he didn't ask any more questions, but with Su Baichang's suspicion of me, I think he would definitely investigate me after I left. But I can't care so much now, and the most critical issue now is that I want Su Baichang to tell the truth. After thinking about it, I said, "I'm very sorry, but my job is not to accept commissions. But I guess the story of this necklace has nothing to do with my work, right? ”

Su Baichang laughed as he read it: "I want to know what kind of person would entrust you to investigate the treasure of my town store." ”

I smiled helplessly: "Whether it's the treasure of the town store, I don't know." All I know is that this necklace has only recently been targeted. ”

Su Baichang raised his eyebrows: "Little girl, it seems that your client shouldn't know the story of this necklace either." Indeed, as your client said, this necklace is now just an ordinary Qing Dynasty antique necklace, with the title of 'royal thing' at most. But you always have to look at things in the long term, maybe this necklace will have a different meaning that day, but I can't say more about it now, just believe that this necklace is really valuable. ”

Hearing Su Baichang say this, I had a somewhat sarcastic smile on my face: "Boss Su is really a person with 'foresight'." ”

Su Baichang heard the meaning of my words, but he didn't care about the sarcasm in my words, he touched the back of his head and laughed: "Thanks to Miss Mo's praise, I hope I can really be far-sighted." Okay, let's get out of the way, let's get down to business and tell the true story of the necklace after it was cleared of the palace. It is true that this necklace is a royal item, and it is not false that it was purchased from Thailand. But one thing I lied to you about it, the necklace was not taken abroad in the first place. ”

"But you showed me the list of the treasury, and it does have this necklace on it." I brought up the document I had just read.

Su Baichang nodded: "It's not wrong that the necklace was stolen at the beginning, but they didn't take this necklace away, and this necklace was stolen before it was taken out of the country by the robbers." At that time, after the Eight-Nation Coalition plundered some relatively large gold carvings and jade carvings in the Old Summer Palace, they couldn't bring them back, so they thought of a way to melt those treasures that could not be brought back into gold in the gold shop and make them into gold bricks and take them out of China. These necklaces have escaped because of the small objects that can be carried with the sound. In addition to these foreign robbers, there were also a group of people who wanted to make a fortune at that time, and when they saw the Eight-Nation Alliance burning and plundering, not only did they not sigh and fight back, but they also went to the residences of some palace maids and eunuchs and robbed a lot of treasures. And those who didn't loot anything started the idea of foreigners. They noticed the foreign robbers, and observed that they had secretly hidden some of the treasures that had not been handed in by the guns in their duties, and after a few observations, they kept their eyes on a few drunken British soldiers, and secretly watched them behind them for several days. Several of them are habitual thieves, and they are used to speculating on puppets, so they are not particularly nervous or afraid. In order not to attract the attention of others, these thieves changed shifts and kept watching, they stared at different streets and alleys every day, paying attention to the usual movements of these drunkards, and finally decided to start near the liquor store on the first night when the drunkards left the capital, and on the day of their move, they hid in the ruined temple next to the liquor store, evaded the curfew, and waited until the end of the day, when several foreign officers came out of the liquor store drunk. They dressed as closed groomsmen, first pretending to accidentally bump into some British soldiers, and then pretending to cower and apologize, and in this back and forth, they touched some of the treasures on these people, and then ran away to the staggering sound of these people's beatings. They knew that these treasures were privately hidden by these big men, and they didn't dare to make a public announcement if they lost them. When the people left Beijing, they dared to take out these treasures and secretly sell the stolen goods. In fact, it stands to reason that they should be able to sell at a good price, but unfortunately, at that time, the imperial court was very tight, and it had to arrest those who made a fortune in the country, and sent official documents to gold shops and jewelry stores, so that they could declare customs when they saw someone holding the same things as those on the official documents. Originally, a year later, they were thinking that they would deal with the things in their hands after the situation calmed down, and when they really wanted to get rid of it, they happened to meet an official who had been in contact with the list in the jewelry store and was also doing business, he was originally here to collect taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of these sneaky thieves, and after a period of interrogation, they found the necklace that appeared on the official document, and immediately arrested these thieves. It stands to reason that this official should take the confiscated jewels and wait for the knighthood. But it was in the late Qing Dynasty, when the war was in chaos, the wind and rain were shaky, where could he still take care of his career, plus this official had been ill-intentioned for a long time, and there was no more benevolence, righteousness and morality in his heart, so he only handed over a few treasures, and the rest were all included in his private pockets, as for those habitual thieves, they were hastily beheaded and their mouths were sealed. ”

"It's really greedy and cruel." After listening to Su Baichang's words, I couldn't help but sigh.
