Chapter 173: The Thief
"I didn't know it was going to happen?" Huang Youcai said infinitely aggrieved, "You must know that in this way, I won't stay for one more day!" ”
"Alright, let's go!" Qian Yongqiang said, "The pocket just now was stolen under your nose, and if you don't leave, I'm worried that the goods on the car will be lost!" ”
Watching the two cars gradually drive away, Qian Yongqiang breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Did you call the police?" Qian Yongqiang looked at the middle-aged man who was in a hurry and asked.
"I just called the police from a public phone!" The middle-aged man said, "I guess the police will arrive in a while!" ”
"Then let's be patient." Qian Yongqiang said.
"Boss, you see so many people around, it's not safe for me to hold these calligraphy and paintings in my hands," the middle-aged man discussed with Qian Yongqiang, "How about I put them in your car first?" ”
Qian Yongqiang couldn't refuse, so he opened the car door and asked the middle-aged man to put the calligraphy and painting on the seat.
After a while, a policeman drove up and two policemen got out of the car. The two policemen walked to the periphery of the crowd one after the other, and the crowd quickly moved out of the way, exposing the middle-aged man and Qian Yongqiang to the police.
The middle-aged man hurriedly greeted the police.
"You called the police?" The policeman walking in front asked the middle-aged man, and the policeman in the back took out a notebook and came out, as if to take notes.
"Yes," said the middle-aged man, "one of my pockets was stolen here!" ”
"What kind of pocket? What's in your pocket? The policeman asked carefully.
"A snakeskin pocket with a couple of sets of wire-bound books in my pocket!" The middle-aged man said to the policeman, "Please, my book was bought at a good price!" ”
"What is the book? How much can it be worth? ”
The middle-aged man said several titles, and Qian Yongqiang heard that they were all very expensive books.
The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "It should be worth 20,000 yuan!" ”
"How can you put such a valuable thing casually?" The policeman asked with a frown.
"I didn't just put it away!" The middle-aged man pointed to Qian Yongqiang's car and hurriedly explained, "I was shopping in the car, and my pockets were next to the car door. I'm afraid that something will be lost, and I won't even close the car door! ”
"Is this your car?" The policeman asked the middle-aged man.
"It's his car." The middle-aged man pointed to Qian Yongqiang, who was standing aside, and said, "I was buying his things just now!" ”
The policeman opened the car door and looked at it, found several old imitation calligraphy paintings on the seat, looked at them in his hand, and asked, "Whose is this?" ”
"Mine!" The middle-aged man said, "I just bought it from him." ”
"It's an artifact, right?" The police questioned Qian Yongqiang and the middle-aged man.
"It's not!" The middle-aged man replied, "One or two thousand yuan a piece, how can it be a cultural relic?" Cultural relics cost more than 100,000 pieces! ”
"If it's a cultural relic, you can't buy it for any amount of money!" The police said, "It is a crime to buy and steal cultural relics!" ”
"Yes, yes!" The middle-aged man said, "I'm just making an analogy to show that these won't be cultural relics - if they are, I wouldn't dare to buy them!" ”
The policeman glanced at the car and found that there was a package on the back seat, so he asked Qian Yongqiang: "What is inside?" ”
"Calligraphy and painting." Qian Yongqiang replied.
"Why are there so many calligraphy and paintings?" The policeman opened the package and looked at it, surprised, "How did it come?" ”
"By car!" Qian Yongqiang replied.
"I ask you where these calligraphy and paintings came from?"
"Oh, I received these calligraphy and paintings when I collected the waste paper."
"Collected waste paper?" The policeman obviously didn't believe it, and said to Qian Yongqiang, "We have to take these things back for identification; You also have to come with us and explain where they come from! ”
Qian Yongqiang had already prepared in his heart, nodded, and walked towards the police car with the package containing the painting.
"What about my pockets?" The middle-aged man asked.
"I'll give it to you if I find it." The police said.
"Okay." The middle-aged man picked up the painting on his seat and was about to leave.
"You'll have to come with us, too!" The policeman said, "Take the painting you bought!" ”
"I'm not going, there's something important to do!" The middle-aged man said, "If you find your pocket, just call me." I'll leave my phone number for a moment. ”
"If these things are cultural relics," the policeman said, pointing to the pocket in Qian Yongqiang's hand and the painting in the middle-aged man's hand, "it is illegal for him to sell them, and it is also illegal for you to buy them!" ”
"How is that possible, officer?" The middle-aged man said, "I can guarantee that these are not cultural relics!" ”
"You don't count!" The police said, "We need to find someone to identify us!" ”
"It's a mess!" The middle-aged man said dissatisfiedly, "My things were stolen, and people still have to go around the bureau!" ”
"Let's go," Qian Yongqiang also persuaded the middle-aged man, "Go early and find out early, if you find out clearly, you can also go to do 'important things' early!" ”
"You said you are a person, you don't tell the truth!" The middle-aged man complained to Qian Yongqiang, "Say no, no, there are so many in the car in the end!" ”
Qian Yongqiang smiled helplessly and did not answer.
It didn't take long for the police to investigate the painting clearly, and then sent Qian Yongqiang and the middle-aged man back to the same place.
At this time, Zhu Yue and the rest of the people were waiting in place.
"Let you wait for me at the hotel," Qian Yongqiang asked, "why are you all here?" What about cars? ”
"I was anxious and panicked in the hotel, and finally we discussed that we would wait for you here - they said they could see you as soon as possible." Zhu Yue said, "The car is parked in another place, and Brother Wang is watching it, so you can rest assured." ”
At this time, Qian Yongqiang found out that Wang Ziren was not here.
"Why did you come out so quickly?" Huang Youcai asked.
"How do you speak?" Zhu Yue snorted at him and said, "Do you especially want Qian Yongqiang to stay in it for a while?" ”
"That's not what I meant!" Huang Youcai said, "The current police efficiency is really high! ”
"Master, the police said there is nothing wrong with these paintings?" Li Qiming asked.
"Of course, there is no problem," Qian Yongqiang said, "According to the seals on the back of these paintings, the police called the unit to verify, and the unit explained the situation, saying that some handicrafts that had no collection value were indeed eliminated some time ago!" ”
"Crafts," said the middle-aged man, "you still sell me so expensive!" ”
"Did you think you had found a leak at first?" Huang Youcai sneered.
"There's always a fluke." The middle-aged man said, "Isn't that the fun of doing what we do?" ”
"If it's genuine," Zhu Yue said with a smile, "I'm afraid you won't be able to come out at this time!" ”
"Then he will be miserable," the middle-aged man pointed at Qian Yongqiang and said, "I'm afraid I will have to go to prison!" ”
"Phew, crow's mouth!" Zhu Yue said, "Why can't you speak so much!" ”
"Hey, why do I think you're so familiar?" Huang Youcai pulled the middle-aged man, took a closer look, and then laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" The middle-aged man was inexplicably laughed by Huang Youcai, and he said, "I don't know you again!" ”
"Take a closer look, do you recognize me?" Huang Youcai asked.
"No impression!" The middle-aged man stared at Huang Youcai for a long time, still shaking his head.
"That year, it was three or four years." Huang Youcai recalled, "In a small alley, you chased and beat a man in a straw hat - remember? ”
"It's you!" The middle-aged man said, "Thanks to you that time, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get out so quickly!" Thank! ”
"This belated thank you finally soothed my increasingly cold heart!" Huang Youcai said, "At that time, you left without saying a word, and I had a fight with that person." I regretted it afterwards, I don't know what kind of person this is, others stood up for him, but he didn't let out a fart and flashed! ”
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to get away from that person sooner!" The middle-aged man said, "I'm a little panicked! ”
"It's okay," Huang Youcai said, "Anyway, I beat that person up!" ”
"This man is the one whose pocket was stolen, right?" Zhu Yue asked Qian Yongqiang.
"Yes," Qian Yongqiang said, "he has lost a lot, according to him, the things in his pocket are worth 20,000 yuan!" ”
"Twenty thousand dollars?" Zhu Yue smiled, "Is it his own opinion?" ”
"I listened to the title of the book he reported, if it is in good condition, it is not worth 20,000 yuan, but it must be worth 10,000 yuan!" Qian Yongqiang said.
"Don't talk here," Zhu Yue said, "Brother Wang must be in a hurry at this time, let's go over!" ”
"Good!" As soon as the five people got into the car, the middle-aged man shouted to Qian Yongqiang in the car, "Where are you going?" Take me with you! ”
"You're not all the way with us!" Qian Yongqiang said, "I'll call you later!" ”
"I'm not going back today!" The middle-aged man said urgently, "I want to wait a day to see if the police can get my pocket back!" ”
"Then you can find a hotel nearby." Qian Yongqiang said, "Our car is full, and I can't take you anymore!" ”
The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly when he saw the car drive away.
"Yongqiang, stop the car!" The car drove about 100 meters, and Huang Youcai, who was sitting in the co-pilot, saw in the rearview mirror that the middle-aged man was being pushed by two people.
"What's going on?" Zhu Yue asked, "It's not been a while, why is he on the same page again?" ”
"Look closely," said Qian Yongqiang, "there is a snakeskin pocket next to his feet!" ”
"His lost snakeskin pocket was recovered?" Huang Youcai said, "His luck is good, the thing is still found in the end!" ”
"Those two should be the ones who gave him the snakeskin pouch!" Li Qiming said, "It is said that he should be grateful to others, why did he still move his hands?" ”
"It's not that simple," Qian Yongqiang said, "let's go back and see!" ”
Qian Yongqiang parked the car steadily, and several people walked down. The two people who were pushing and shoving with the middle-aged man saw that several people were back, and they immediately panicked, ran away alone, and quickly disappeared into the tide of people; The other person also wanted to run, but the placket was grabbed by the middle-aged man.
"Quick!" The middle-aged man shouted at Qian Yongqiang, "It's these two thieves who stole my pocket, help me catch them!" ”
Li Qiming was just about to chase after him, but was stopped by Qian Yongqiang: "I can't catch up!" ”
Several people quickly surrounded the remaining one, and only then did the middle-aged man breathe a sigh of relief, wiped his sweat and said, "If you don't come again, he will run away!" ”
"What's going on?" Qian Yongqiang asked the middle-aged man.
"He and the man who ran away are thieves, they are in the same group!" Middle-aged man says:
"When you were gone, they both came with my snakeskin bag, and I was amazed!
"They said it was my snakeskin bag, I took it wrong in the morning, and now I have it back.
"When I looked, the pocket was mine, but the contents were not mine, they were all worthless tattered books.
So I asked them where my stuff was. They said I had these things in my pocket, and they said I wanted to lie to them, and then they threatened me that if I didn't get the case, I wouldn't want to get out of here alive! ”
