When Zhou Xiaolong's eyes swept over the table, his expression suddenly shocked, the boss took out a very old and worn-out compass that was indeed missing a corner, but that compass was still a compass handwritten in ink.

Zhou Xiaolong's heart was very excited, his eyes flashed with excitement, and he immediately returned to normal.

Buying a compass is also very particular, the compass embodies the way of Tai Chi, the circle of all things, this missing a corner of the compass, ordinary people will not like it, let alone spend money to buy.

As soon as the compass was in his hands, Zhou Xiaolong felt heavy, he had a feeling that this compass was not ordinary, and the material of the compass was black and shiny, and it was very well-made, it should be from the hands of an ancient master.

"Boss, although this compass is broken, I'm afraid it can't be used, but I like it a lot, I don't know how much it costs to sell it?" Zhou Xiaolong asked the boss.

"I also think this compass is very good, I kept it for myself...... said with a reluctant expression on the boss's face.

However, Zhou Xiaolong is not stupid, he understands that this is just the boss deliberately performing in front of him in order to raise the price of this compass.

Why do you say that, even a fool can see that the surface of the compass is covered with dust, which looks like a favorite object that is often played?

Zhou Xiaolong then smiled bitterly and said: "Since it is your beloved thing, boss, then I won't take away people's favor, anyway, it's all a compass, I'm just to study it." ”

After speaking, Zhou Xiaolong turned around and was about to leave, he believed that the boss would definitely stop him.

"Ahem, little brother, you wait!"

As expected, just as Zhou Xiaolong was about to step out of the store, the boss's voice came from behind him.

Zhou Xiaolong looked back, and the boss's face still showed a look of reluctance and love, "Since the little brother plans to study the ancient feng shui culture, it is naturally best to use this ancient thing, this compass is also an old object, I haven't read any books, but the most admired thing is you readers, so let's sell this compass to you, little brother!" ”

"Oh, boss, what you said is also reasonable, so how much are you going to sell it for, boss?!" Zhou Xiaolong stood at the door, didn't walk back, and asked directly.

Zhou Xiaolong wanted to give this boss an illusion, he didn't have much interest in this compass, and it didn't matter if he bought it or not.

"Hmm...... Even if you're eight thousand! ”

The boss blinked his little eyes, put on a very painful look, and stroked the compass with his hand, as if a mother was caressing her daughter who was about to marry away.

"It's too expensive, boss, you better keep it for yourself!" Zhou Xiaolong smiled, turned around and ignored the boss, and left directly.

"Little brother, don't worry, this thing is naturally negotiable, so you can make a price, as long as it's not too outrageous, I'll sell it to you!"

"Three thousand, this is the highest price I can offer."

"Oh, little brother, there is no bargain like you, this is indeed a good thing, so let's make a step, five thousand!"

"To tell you the truth, I have three thousand in my pocket, and I just bought it and studied it." Zhou Xiaolong didn't lie, he had so much money in his pocket, and he had withdrawn it from the ATM at the corner of the street just now.

"Alas, three thousand is three thousand, okay, okay, today is an opening." The boss felt that three thousand was not a loss, so he sold the compass to Zhou Xiaolong.

After paying, Zhou Xiaolong directly put the compass into his arms, without showing any expression on his face, and walked towards the street in the warm farewell of the boss.

After leaving the shop, Zhou Xiaolong happily took out the compass from his arms.

The light outside is bright, so look at it, the compass is clear, the pulp is intact, although there are some defects, but go back to repair it, it is not worse than Mr. Chen Xueping's triple plate, maybe it is even better.

Because he found a good thing, Zhou Xiaolong was very happy in his heart, and he didn't have the heart to continue wandering around the antique street, so he was ready to go back.

But at this moment, a shout came from my ear: "Don't run! Hold it!!! ”

Zhou Xiaolong looked back with the voice, and he saw a middle-aged man in a security uniform running towards this side in a panic, and strangely, there were three people in the same security uniform chasing him behind him.

Three security guards are chasing a security guard, what's going on?!

Listening to the words of the security guards behind him, Zhou Xiaolong's eyes fell on the face of the middle-aged man, who was ashen and had a panicked look on his face.

"Stop, don't run!" The security guard in the back shouted.

"I didn't steal anything, I didn't steal those jewelry!" The escapee turned around and explained as he ran.

"Lao Yang, if you don't steal something, what are you going to run?!" A security guard snorted coldly.

"Come back with us and explain the matter, and if we hand over the jewelry, we'll be ...... lightly," said another security guard.

Faced with the security guard's questioning, the middle-aged man was speechless, because he knew about it, and he couldn't clear the suspicion at all, so he could only escape.

Soon, the middle-aged man who fled tripped over a rock on the ground, and was soon caught by two security guards who ran over.

The three security guards pressed one of the security guards and were about to leave, just passing by Zhou Xiaolong's side.

Zhou Xiaolong's eyes looked at these security guards, and he asked, "Lao Jia, I'm curious to ask, what did he do?!" ”

"The guards stole their own gold ornaments from the store." A security guard said angrily.

"Stealing gold ornaments?" Zhou Xiaolong muttered.

Zhou Xiaolong's gaze fell on the person who was arrested again, it seems that the uniform worn by this person is also a security uniform, and these security guards should be peers.

Since they are all security guards and peers, why should they steal things from their own stores in broad daylight? Isn't that stupid?!

"Hey, you said he stole jewelry, do you have any proof?" Zhou Xiaolong looked at the man's expression with an innocent face, and he didn't look like a thief, so Zhou Xiaolong asked a security guard again.

"He's the only person in charge of guarding this batch of jewelry, who else but him, if the boss doesn't believe him, how can he steal it?"

The security guard, who is not a professional policeman, is not strict in his mouth, and tells outsiders everything.

Soon, from the mouth of a security guard, Zhou Xiaolong also knew the general situation of the matter.

It turned out that the man who was arrested just now was named Yang Li, and he was the security captain of Wang Dafu's jewelry store.

Moreover, Yang Li has been working in Wang Dafu's jewelry store for more than ten years, and it can be said that he is the oldest employee of Wang Dafu besides the boss.

Because he has been working for more than ten years, Wang Dafu's boss has always believed in Yang Li and has been the captain of the security team, but why should such a trustworthy old employee be guarded and steal? !
