A century-old antiquity?

God knows that the oldest beads in this shop are only twenty years old.

And this bronze statue is a thrift that Mark didn't know from which thrift stall.

……

Su Xian pretended to sweep around the store, and finally beckoned to Mr. Nigu and said, "You come with me." ”

Then he led the way to the second floor.

On the surface, this rare treasure antiquities shop is divided into two floors, and the things on the second floor are more precious than the first floor, but in fact, they are ...... Hardly any difference!

Basically, it's just a trader's strategy.

When a merchant divides the same item into two grades, people will always think that the one with the beautiful packaging is a high-grade product, and the poorly packaged one is a low-grade product.

In this way, they will tend to buy high-end products that are only a little more expensive.

Giving guests the possibility of choice is also a marketing strategy.

After Su Xian took Mr. Nigu to the second floor, it was obvious that the way he looked at the goods was completely different from when he was on the first floor.

Then, Su Xian went straight to the middle of the second floor and took out the string of beads from a transparent box.

This string of beads has lost its luster after the ravages of time, but the special carvings on each bead give it a different charm.

Although this is actually a quick deterioration due to poor quality, the layman will never see the flaws in it after proper cosmetic grooming.

"This string of beads is my first ...... Well, a treasure in the hands of an explorer. ”

Su Xian gave Mr. Nigu a "you know" expression and continued: "You know, the treasures excavated from that kind of ruins are never too old. I won't say anything else, you can identify it yourself. ”

With that, he carefully handed the table into Mr. Nico's hand, allowing him to observe it as much as he could.

Through Mr. Nigu's performance on the first floor, Su Xian had already determined that he was a layman, so he was not worried about being recognized at all.

Soon after, a deal was quickly completed.

……

This is a milestone transaction for Su Xian.

He succeeded in selling a commodity that had little historical value for a relatively sky-high price.

But after seeing Mr. Nanico leave, he suddenly felt a feeling of emptiness in his heart.

"Is this what is called the condemnation of conscience?"

He rolled his eyes, sat down and counted the bill again.

"This time it's a practice, it's better to do less of this kind of thing in the future, after all, it won't bring much benefit."

……

After that, there were no more people in the store until half past eleven o'clock in the evening, when he was about to close, a familiar homeless man pushed the door open.

"Detective Kebei?"

"It's me, Sir."

Detective Kobei looked up, revealing a paint-covered face.

Su Xian couldn't help laughing: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Detective Corbean scratched his head and said, "Sir, I went to a masquerade ball. ”

Su Xian suddenly became interested: "How is it?" Did you find anything? ”

Detective Kebei seemed a little weak-hearted: "Actually, things are like this......"

It turned out that he had been looking for those strangely dressed people according to the clues in the newspaper for the past two days, and he really found them.

After that, he blended in very smoothly and entered a ...... A bar!

The bar was already filled with strangely dressed men and women, from pumpkin ladies to watermelon men.

He thought he had found his target, but he didn't expect that for the rest of the night, the men and women in the bar were drinking and dancing - it was a real masquerade ball!

So after a night in a bar, he was ostracized because he was too real, and finally escaped from the bar and came here.

After listening, Su Xian was surprised and said, "This is your result?" ”

Detective Kebei was even more ashamed: "This, who knows it's a real masquerade...... When I continue my investigation tomorrow, I will definitely find the real clue. ”

Su Xian said: "That's it, I'm looking forward to your next report." ”

Detective Corbe: "Trust me! ”

Su Xian: "I'll have fun next time." ”

Detective Corbe: "......"

……

Detective Kebei was about to leave, Su Xian suddenly thought of something, so he recalled him again and asked, "By the way, I have something else to ask you." ”

Detective Corbe: "Say it. ”

Su Xian took off the golden chrysanthemum badge on his chest and showed it to him: "Do you know this golden chrysanthemum?" ”

Detective Kebei's gaze became sharp in an instant, he stared at Jin Ju seriously for a long time, and nodded slowly: "Coincidentally, I met once." ”

Although chrysanthemum badges made of pure gold are rare, they are not absent on the market.

However, the golden chrysanthemum badge engraved on the flower buds is not everywhere.

Su Xian just asked with a fluke mentality, but he didn't expect Detective Kebei to really know, so he hurriedly asked, "Where have you seen it?" ”

Detective Kebei frowned and said, "Can you tell me what the significance of this Golden Chrysanthemum badge is first?" Is it a metaphor for good or bad? ”

Su Xian settled down: "It seems that the person with the same badge is your acquaintance." ”

Detective Kebei shook his head and said, "It's not counted." ”

Su Xian said, "It doesn't matter if you tell you. This badge is a credential for a secret organization, and I'm looking for it. I would also like to join this organization if I can. ”

"That should be okay." Detective Kebei thought for a while, and finally said, "Actually, I met it once on the chess piece, the president of the detective agency. ”

Su Xian immediately said, "The wife of the president of your detective agency?" The owner of Alice's flower shop? ”

Detective Corbei nodded, "Yes, it's Lady Alice." I remember that day she dressed up and hired a hardcover carriage with the same golden chrysanthemum badge pinned to her chest. ”

Su Xian suddenly noticed: "You actually stared at the chest of the lady?" ”

Detective Kebei looked calm: "This is just based on the professionalism of a professional detective. I'll keep an eye out for anything that could be an important clue. ”

Su Xian said: "Okay, I probably understand. I'll go to the detective agency tomorrow, and you'll go about your business. ”

……

There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them.

Su Xian took out an empty jewelry box from the drawer, put the golden chrysanthemum badge in it, stuffed it into his waist bag, and got up to close the door.

"I wanted to wear it to hook people, but the city of Brut is so big that there is very little hope. But I didn't expect to learn the clues from the mouth of Detective Kebei so easily. It's just that Mrs. Alice is obviously not a good match. The rise of the Big Eye Detective Agency may be her handiwork. ”

But when he had just pulled down the shutter door halfway, a faint scream suddenly came from outside.

His heart moved, and he slammed out the door.
