The person concerned, Zeng Xiaogu, did not open his mouth to defend himself, but his face became ugly, as if he wanted to ask, but finally gave up. Ding Yuqin asked several whys in a row, obviously not believing my reasoning.

"It's a bit of a long story, so you need to be quiet and listen to me explain it from the beginning. In fact, it was while we were investigating this case that we happened to find records from a website that looked official on the surface, but was actually an illegal website, on which a lot of shady transactions were conducted. I said slowly, trying to calm my emotions, "It was on that site that we heard about a very famous man called 'Devil', who once created a legend of hyping jadeite there, bought jade for a few months, and sold it for a good price, and because of this, he became a legend on that site. It is said that he also sold a bracelet that year. That's when we started to turn our attention to the internet, but also to other sales channels, such as jade shops, and a few shopping sites that are commonly used online. Contacting Lingshuang's Weibo and the income on her bank account, we soon got a very shocking news: after Lingshuang's photo of wearing a bracelet was released, nearly 50,000 yuan was credited to her account in less than a month. Isn't that a lot of money? And we also took a special look, there are nearly 40,000 yuan, all of which are cash in her own existence. ”

"That doesn't seem to say much." Li Dian interjected coldly on the side: "Lingshuang often has some economic dealings with others, it's not strange at all, right?" Are you trying to say? What other shady dealings are she doing behind her back? No, absolutely not. ”

"How do you know she won't?" Zong Hua, who had been silent, interrupted Li Dian's words on the side, and said with a frown: "If it wasn't for her own 'doing', how could she have given her life?" ”

"As we mentioned before, we don't comment on Lingshuang's character, but one thing we can be sure of is that her business acumen is very admirable." I shook my head a little helplessly, Li Dian looked very angry, obviously dissatisfied with Zong Hua's evaluation of Ling Shuang. Ding Yuqin's worries were not unreasonable, if it weren't for Ling Shuang's sudden accident. He might elope with Lingshuang. I continued. "She won't let go of any opportunity to make a fortune. Let's talk about the bracelet, we went out of our way to consult the experts in the museum, and from him, we learned something. First of all, let's talk about this bracelet that has been rumored to be mysterious. ”

I held up the photo that Leng Ao had specially washed out in front of everyone. "This was once said to be a treasure that flowed from the palace. But in fact. The experts have not seen the real thing with their own eyes. However, he denied the statement that it was the concubine bracelet, and also pointed out another possibility, that is, to use the current definition of jade identification in China. Intentionally or unintentionally deceived those who did not understand jade. In the perception of ordinary people, jadeite refers to jadeite, and the identification given by the bracelet that Ling Shuang once owned is also only jadeite, without accurately indicating the age of production...... Of course, the average person looks at jadeite, may pay more attention to its color and texture, but in fact, the origin of jadeite is different, and the price will be very different, such as the new pit jade and old pit jade that are often mentioned, and some special treatment methods, such as pickling, glue filling and other means, can make the original poor texture of jadeite look high-end, which is also a means for some profit-seeking merchants to deceive ordinary consumers. In addition to these, of course, there are other means, such as using Dushan jade, Xiuyu, etc. to pass off jadeite, which can also be passed off for those who don't really know much about jadeite. ”

"How...... Is there such a means? Leng Ao was obviously taken aback, and couldn't help but interject and ask, "Is what you said true?" So many impersonation methods, do you mean to say that in fact, the bracelet on Ling Shuang's hand is actually not worth much? ”

"Of course not, I'm talking about a marketing ploy. Something that looks good, plus a fascinating story, that's probably what marketing is commonly called, right? I think that the bracelet owned by Lingshuang at the beginning was indeed jadeite, but it did not have such a bizarre origin as the legend, and the purpose of passing on this photo was to cooperate with marketing. Linzi, don't you have a set of data there? Why don't you talk about it? I explained seriously.

Lin Zi didn't suddenly realize until this moment, she shook the paper in her hand towards everyone, and said very seriously: "I said I wanted me to check this number for what, it turned out to be for this." You have to listen to it, this is the number left on a certain online store, just a month before Lingshuang was killed, this store sold about 500 bracelets, at that time the name of this bracelet was called 'lifelong love', at that time the price of sales did not seem to be expensive, each bracelet was 1000, but taken together, it is a large number. ”

I nodded and continued, "Of course, the average person doesn't buy too expensive items from websites, and 500 is already a lot of money. However, at that time, the texture of the bracelet was not marked on it. However, as long as you look at the price, it should not be a particularly good texture jadeite, and it may even be the same as we guessed before, it may just use similar colors and different textures to pretend to be jadeite. Anyway, compared to the sky-high price of tens of thousands of jadeite, this price should be reasonable...... It's very close to the people, right? All of them will have such good sales. In other words, this is a case of successful marketing using Lingshuang's fame. Fortunately, as China's management of e-commerce becomes more and more strict, it is natural for us to find out the information of the person who opened the store. ”

"So...... The person who opened this store is Zeng Xiaogu? Ding Yuqin finally couldn't help but give her own conclusions.

Zeng Xiaogu sighed heavily and said continuously: "Yes." It was indeed the shop I opened, and the bracelet was indeed given to Ling Shuang by me, just like you said, to sell all the jade artifacts that had accumulated in my hands. But what I didn't expect was that Lingshuang would have an accident. It stands to reason that we have a good cooperation, and in addition to the items sold online, there are other jade items that are almost out of stock. (To be continued.) )
