Chapter 20: The Story Through the Eyes of Mi Zhen

As a result, after listening to me, Mi Zhen pretended to be angry and hit me: "What's the difference between you doing this and betraying me?" ”

"Be a thief. I sneered and debunked Mi Zhen, "You know in your heart that you are not at all like what you said, it was because someone wanted to buy the White Snake at a high price that Su Baichang found out that the White Snake was stolen."www.biquge.info In fact, Su Baichang has always regarded the White Snake as the treasure of the town store, and he has no intention of selling it at all. Moreover, the existence of the original 'White Snake' as the golden snake necklace in the store has not been released to the public, but only the clerks around Su Baichang know about it. I think this kind of knowing was also after the necklace was stolen and Su Baichang was furious, so that the clerk knew about its existence. And today, I went to look for clues to the White Snake, which can be regarded as a disguised way to find out the truth that outsiders know about her internal situation, do you think he will think who revealed it? I went to give him a range of suspicions. But in the end, he and I just told him that the White Snake was okay when I found the necklace. I don't quite understand the purpose of what he told me to say this. ”

"You really don't know him." Mi Zhen glanced at me and continued to eat the snack, "Actually, he had already guessed that I took the White Snake necklace, but he had been waiting for me to throw himself into the net." It's just that he doesn't know that the necklace isn't with me yet. No=And the last sentence he said to you, is to find out who the client behind you is from your mouth, but you are stupid and didn't understand the meaning of the words, maybe you have to understand, you have already fallen into the way of others. Then the two of us are really finished, and now we are only finished, and there is still a chance to remedy. But that's fine, he should think I'm going to sell the White Snake by now, so he's putting it up at auction right now. I guess he wanted to expose me at the auction, but this time his wishful thinking was going to be overturned. The corners of Mizhen's mouth grinned upward, as if she had succeeded in her trick.

"What the hell do you do?" I watched Mizhen's reaction, and I wondered about her identity. I know that Mizhen is not just an ordinary assistant with a habit of stealing, as she herself says. I have a hunch that she approached Su Baichang at the beginning for the precious white snake necklace.

Mizhen turned her head to me, her mouth still chewing, I could hear her teeth crumbling nuts, and her bulging cheeks made her look like a pure pine, she squinted and laughed, but because there was something in her mouth, she could only make a 'whirring' sound. After a while, she swallowed the food, took a big sip of black tea and said, "Zhizhi should have guessed it, right?" ”

I stared at her and didn't answer.

Mi Zhen muttered with some dissatisfaction: "I know from the look in your eyes that you don't think I'm a bad boy with a story at all, but it's actually a prejudice." I'm always unprofessional and I look very unreliable, but I'm a good person. The kind of good guy who can always get a good guy card. ”

"Then I can't deny the fact that you've done something bad." I calmly retorted, "Taking someone else's stuff without their permission is stealing." No matter how you look at it, it's not a good thing, I remember the first time the two of us met, you told me that you had stolen Su Baichang's things before to go out to earn extra money, I don't think this is a kind act that someone who recycles a good person card will do. ”

After listening to me, Mi Zhen looked even more dissatisfied, and the grievances in her eyes were about to overflow: "That's not how the good guy card is used." Besides, Su Baichang's things are not easy to come. ”

Mi Zhen's words suddenly exploded in my ears with a muffled thunderbolt, and in an instant, I remembered the words that I remembered that could not be reconciled with Su Baichang's story. In a trance, I suddenly came to Mi Zhen's eyes and wanted to confirm with her again. Mi Zhen was obviously taken aback by me, and she spoke a little unpleasantly: "You, what do you want to do?" ”

I hurriedly adjusted back to my previous state, and deliberately coughed to hide the gaffe just now: "I'm sorry, I'm just a little excited to hear these words." You say that Su Baichang's things are not good? ”

Mizhen began to continue eating: "I didn't say all, I meant a part of it. Seeing me staring at her intently, Mi Zhen was a little embarrassed, she straightened her hair behind her ears, and tilted her head as if she was thinking before saying;" About one-third of the treasures were obtained by him by improper means. But Su Baichang never sold these things to the outside world, and rarely even let others know that these jewels existed. Having said that, don't you think that the sculptures and jewelry in his store have never seen the same style in other jewelry stores? ”

I thought about it, nodded in agreement, and indeed when I visited Su Baichang today, I just glanced at it, and I could see that the goods in Su Baichang's store were really unique and ingenious, and I almost never talked about similar styles outside. Although I rarely visit jewelry stores, among the few shopping experiences about jewelry and furnishings that I can remember, it is true that I rarely see such chic ornaments in Su Baichang's store, and even the ring that I accidentally glanced at today makes people feel unique.

"What are you thinking?" Mizhen's words interrupted my memories.

I shook my head: "It's nothing, but I really agree with you, although Su Baichang doesn't look like an artist or a connoisseur, but the taste of the works and merchandise he puts in the store is really good." ”

Mi Zhen sneered when she heard this: "Huh? His taste? It can only be said that he was lucky. The food in those shops is a solid replica of some dynasties of self-improvement, which is not his own creativity, nor his taste, but can only be said to be the result of his theft. ”

I opened my mouth wide in surprise and looked at Mi Zhen in disbelief. Mi Zhen completely ate the contents of her mouth before holding the teacup and saying to me: "Little girl, do you really think Su Baichang is a good person?" In front of him, my despised skills are nothing more than small tricks that you can't see, and he's a connoisseur at them. ”

I was completely speechless, I didn't expect that my vague memories would involve so many things that shocked me.

Mi Zhen sneered at the corner of her mouth: "Didn't you see it today?" The works of art that will take your breath away are his reproductions of ill-gotten artifacts. ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but let out an 'ah' in surprise. Seeing Mi Zhen's disappreciative look, I asked again with some disbelief: "You're not lying to me, are you?" ”

Mi Zhen was obviously annoyed by my suspicious attitude, and she turned to me and said word by word: "Swear to God, Tong Su is not a deceit." Including the white snake necklace I asked you to find, Su Baichang obtained it by disgraceful means. Just like other illegally acquired collectibles, many versions of the White Snake have been copied. The white golden snake in his shop is the best proof of this. The Golden Snake he killed before was just a preparation for the White Snake. ”

"Why?" I began to wonder, if you want to sell the white snake, just sell it directly, why bother to make a replica to sell it first?

Mi Zhen continued to sneer: "Because the white snake is not as famous as other unearthed cultural relics, even if it is sold directly, it will not be sold for too much price. Coupled with the fact that there is a big problem with his means of purchasing, it is almost impossible to sell it directly and openly. Most of his collections are like this, because they are not famous, they come from the wrong way, and if they want to make money, they have to find another way. Most of his collection consists of artifacts that have not been recovered, or some previously stolen palace treasures. These provisions are little known, and it is very difficult for the average person to identify whether they are genuine, but if they find a professional department, they will question his origins, so he can only use the idea of replicas2, so that these collections can attract the attention of professionals who are well versed in the history of cultural relics. After all, his collection is the beloved things of the previous emperors and sons, so the shape is unique and very creative, which will naturally attract a large number of people to come to buy, which invisibly advertises him, so that connoisseurs who always pay attention to antiques can see some clues, and even be able to expose that he is stealing the wisdom of his predecessors. In this way, his goal has been achieved, and after attracting attention, the value of those real antique civil and military affairs, or in his words, the price will also rise, and this is really the best time to sell. Before being investigated and asked about the origin, the cultural relics were sold at a high price. You wait a little bit for me. ”

As soon as she was halfway through the sentence, Mi Zhen hurriedly ran to another room, and after a sound of rummaging through the cabinets, Mi Zhen walked back with a thick folder.

She put the folder in front of me: "This is the record of Su Baichang's participation in the auction, but Ziah, in these auctions, he never uses his real name as the trader's information. But you can see that the things sold are almost exactly the same as the products in his store, except for the material and color. I was able to find out, but also because I happened to participate in an auction with Mu Zixuan, Zixuan once studied a cultural relic, and felt that the products auctioned that day were almost exactly the same as the treasures stolen from a collector he had heard before, and wanted to find out, but found that the identity information disclosed by the previous owner of this auction item was forged. But in some private auctions, the true identities of Yin Can's trading parties are not a strange phenomenon. So when we thought we didn't have a chance to learn about it, something else happened. One of my college classmates ticketed a bracelet that she had just bought on social media, and it was almost exactly the same as what our chamber of commerce saw at auction except for the material, and then I asked her about the origin of the bracelet, and she told me that she bought it at a jewelry store in the old shopping street. After that, Zixuan and I went to that store, and this visit was really eye-opening for us. ”
