Zhong Zhili smiled and said, "Of course it's too dangerous to investigate Chu Chen now, but his friend should be fine, besides, if it's too easy, isn't the money too easy to make?" Besides, don't worry, if you really investigate useful clues, and the final result can satisfy me, the previous conditions will remain the same, and I will give you a few more antiques, which are guaranteed to be genuine tributes from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the value will not be less than 10 million. ”

"This ...... I don't know anything about antiques! ”

"It's simple, you can also choose the money directly."

"But antiques will still appreciate in value, if I choose money, won't it be a loss?"

"Lin Laosan, I have to say that you are very shameless, when the matter is done, I will rise by ten percent."

Lin Laosan smiled and said: "Boss Zhong, since you say so, then please let me be a little more shameless and float by 50%, otherwise the benefits and efforts are not proportional at all." ”

Zhong Zhili heard Lin Laosan say this, and was silent for a moment before he said lightly: "According to my previous temper, your kid is dead." ”

Lin Laosan smiled: "You just say it's okay, right?" ”

Zhong Zhili sneered: "Hehe, of course it's okay, it depends on how well you complete the matter, besides, you have to remember that you are not Chu Chen, and the people who lied to me will not end well!" ”

Lin Laosan snorted, and after the two chatted a few more words, they hung up the phone.

"Chu Shao, you should have heard what he said, right? If he really wants to find out that I am doing things for you, based on his character, my family will really not be able to eat and walk away. Lin Laosan said with a worried face.

"Well deserved! If you weren't greedy for money, how could you get to where you are now! ”

Chu Chen secretly sneered. said with a smile: "In this regard, I think Captain Liang will arrange it properly." ”

Captain Liang nodded. Let Lin Laosan rest assured, it's not just him. His wife and children abroad will also be protected by special personnel.

With Captain Liang's assurance, Lin Laosan was finally relieved, and then he asked, "Then what should I do next?" ”

Captain Liang looked at Chu Chen and asked him what he thought.

Chu Chen thought for a while and said, "Please wait for me to call......

After speaking, Chu Chen walked to the side and dialed the mobile phone number of Lao Wu.

"Fifth brother, where are you now?"

"I'm selling the market now, I guess I'll be back tomorrow morning, is there anything I need to deal with?"

"Oh. I have a case here, and I'd like to ask you for a favor. ”

"Case?" Lao Wu was a little confused when he heard this: "But I won't solve the case." ”

"This has nothing to do with solving the case, I want you to 'spit out some truths after drinking', as for the specifics, let's talk about it in detail after you come back."

"Row ......"

After hanging up the phone, Chu Chen walked back and told everyone his idea. However, he just asked Lin Laosan to send someone to contact Lao Wu, and his later plans were not immediately said, on the one hand, he still had to think about it. How can the heart not make Zhong Zhili suspicious, on the other hand, because of the matter related to the treasure, he must be cautious.

Next. Chu Chen told Captain Liang some of his thoughts alone, and then said goodbye and went back.

…………

Early the next morning, Chu Chen went to the antique shop. When it was nearly ten o'clock, the fifth child also came.

Just as Chu Chen was about to take Lao Wu to his office. Xia Zhicheng (Chapter 1001) came in excitedly, wanting Chu Chen to help him see the newly collected things.

For Xia Zhicheng, this person. Chu Chen didn't like it much, and last time because of what he was eye-catching, he also released a word in the market, so that the hammer must be fake and lose five, otherwise he would not let the hammer gain a foothold in Panjiayuan.

Let's not talk about the rights and wrongs in the middle, first of all, Xia Zhicheng's attitude still makes Chu Chen feel quite unhappy, and he can be sure that if it weren't for his identity, it is estimated that Xia Zhicheng would have to make him lose money, so Xia Zhicheng came to him for identification, and he didn't want to deal with it.

And the things in Xia Zhicheng's hand, he didn't feel like a good thing when he saw it, in case after the identification, Xia Zhicheng's watch was like the last time, he wasn't bored.

However, just as Chu Chen was about to politely refuse, he suddenly thought of something, once, when he was eating in a restaurant, he happened to see Xia Zhicheng and his elders eating, and they were talking a little loudly, he happened to hear these people talking about Lin Laosan, and the tone seemed to be good.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen had a change of mind in his heart, so he smiled and asked Xia Zhicheng to wait in the reception room first, and he explained a few words to the fifth child.

Chu Chen and Lao Wu walked into the reception room together, the two sides exchanged a few more words, and Xia Zhicheng put the things in front of Chu Chen.

Xia Zhicheng took the thing, in fact, it is a bird cage, rough looks really good, the cage body is made of bamboo as the main material, the center of the cage top carved tower-shaped shaft, worn in the "C" shaped hook, the cage is equipped with two pairs of complete sets of water and food jars and a small bottle, under the boxwood carved inverted conical foot.

Just as Chu Chen was observing there, Xia Zhicheng said triumphantly: "Teacher Chu, I won't tell you, I really got this thing with some luck. ”

"Oh, how do you say?" Chu Chen cooperated and was curious.

"That's it......"

It turned out that half a month ago, when Xia Zhicheng was wandering around the antique market, he met a Mr. Qian who claimed to be a hobby collector, and this Mr. Qian was also a self-acquaintance, and the two sides chatted for a while, so they took out a photo to show Xia Zhicheng and asked him: "Do you have such a birdcage?" If there is, I'll pay yours at a high price. ”

This person also left contact information for Xia Zhicheng, so that Xia Zhicheng could contact him when he saw this thing.

For this qiē, Xia Zhicheng was very disdainful in his heart, because he was deceived by the hammer last time, he studied a lot of antique market scams, like Mr. Qian, he thought that he was a liar at all, so he directly threw away the other party's contact information.

In this way, Xia Zhicheng left this matter behind, but what he didn't expect was that when he followed a broker to the countryside to Taobao the day before yesterday, he actually saw an identical birdcage, which is the one that Chu Chen is seeing now.

When he saw the birdcage, Xia Zhicheng was very surprised, he originally thought that it was a scam or not, but the owner swore that this birdcage was his family's ancestral, and in addition to him, there were people who took a fancy to this birdcage. In the end, he thought that this should not be such a coincidence, and thought that the birdcage was indeed good, so he bought it for 50,000 yuan.

After the birdcage was bought home, Xia Zhicheng liked it more and more, and felt that he must have picked up a leak this time, but it made him feel a little regretful that he had lost the contact information given by the person at the beginning, otherwise he could call and ask how much the thing was worth. So, he brought the birdcage over and asked Chu Chen to help identify it.

After listening to what happened, Chu Chen and Lao Wu were a little speechless, this is obviously another pit, let's not talk about anything else, since the birdcage is the ancestral heirloom of that family, where did the photo come from? There may be an identical birdcage, but how likely is it?

Because of Chu Chen's confession earlier, the fifth child immediately muttered: "This is strange, Mr. Xia, if things are really as you said, where did that person's photo come from?" ”

After listening to what Lao Wu said, Xia Zhicheng seemed to be like someone pouring a basin of cold water on himself from head to foot in winter, which was really frozen, and after a while, he said dryly: "Maybe the photo was taken by that family before." ”

Even Xia Zhicheng didn't believe what he said, and if he didn't say anything else, the background of the photo didn't look like the location of the family. Could it be that he was deceived again, probably not?

Next, Lao Wu poured a basin of cold water on him again: "And if I'm not mistaken, the one you said should be a friend of Hammer." ”

"What? You're not mistaken, right? Xia Zhicheng was taken aback when he heard this.

"How can you be mistaken, many people know this." Speaking of this, Lao Wu muttered in a low voice: "I didn't even know about this matter in advance, and my heart is really big." ”

Hearing the fifth child say this, Xia Zhicheng was not only very dissatisfied with the fifth child, but also very dissatisfied with the fifth child, if it weren't for Chu Chen's identity, it would be possible to stage a full martial arts.

Fortunately, he still has some sense, took a deep breath, and asked, "Teacher Chu, is there really something wrong with this birdcage of mine?" ”

Chu Chen replied: "A good bird cage pays attention to the bamboo (bamboo skin is combined) thin strips, which are exquisite and beautiful; The cage hook pays attention to copper and silver alloy, from the jewelry building, shiny and soft, and does not rust for a long time; The black bar pays attention to mahogany or Venus ebony, which is gorgeous and shows a rich temperament; The cover plate (the round copper sheet on the top of the cage) pays attention to the exquisite carving of auspicious patterns, antique and intriguing; The bird food jar pays attention to the thin porcelain, the color is pure, and the painting is exquisite. ”

"Like your birdcage, although it is not bad, it is still some distance from what I said, and there is basically no slurry on the birdcage, and it seems that there is no trace of raising birds, on the whole, I think this birdcage should have been made in recent years."

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, when Xia Zhicheng looked at this birdcage again, his attitude changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and he couldn't wait to smash this birdcage immediately.

"Thank you, Mr. Chu, for your advice!" Xia Zhicheng's appearance was slightly better than the last time, and he knew that he would say thank you to Chu Chen before saying goodbye, but in fact, it was not much better, so he picked up his things and hurriedly went out.

At this time, the fifth brother said loudly: "Who does this guy think he is, he doesn't even know how to pay the money for the appraisal!" ”

Although Xia Zhicheng walked fast, the words of the fifth child still entered his ears, but he didn't know if he was in a hurry to find someone to settle the account, or because of what, his footsteps just paused, and he walked out of the door at the same speed as just now. This left everyone very speechless.

Seeing this, Lao Wu was really a little surprised: "Doesn't this person really know what is called cheekiness and what is called politeness?" ”

Chu Chen smiled: "That's good, otherwise we will feel guilty in our hearts......"

As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and called Lin Laosan...... (To be continued......)
