And not just antique shop owners.

Tang Xinyu also thought of this unreasonableness.

So he continued: "Of course, what I just said is just my personal conjecture. ”

"I don't have any actual evidence in my hands to prove that the outsider who came to you gave you something is stolen goods."

Tang Xinyu thought.

If the owner of the antique shop did not lie, there really was such an out-of-towner.

This outsider is this group of pickpockets who steal from buyers.

Those things were the stolen goods he had stolen.

If that's the case.

Then he should want to shoot as fast as possible, quickly exchange things for money nearby, and then take the money and run away.

Anyway, it will definitely not be as I guessed.

went around and around to hand it over to the owner of an antique shop for consignment, and even had the leisure to persuade the owner of the antique shop to join him in the game.

After Tang Xinyu felt that his train of thought was a little blocked, he immediately glanced at Zhou Nan beside him, wanting to ask his opinion.

Zhou Nan had been listening just now, and he turned around and asked, "How can you be sure that the other party is a foreigner?" ”

The antique shop owner didn't lie on this point, so he immediately replied: "That person's Mandarin is a bit non-standard. ”

"And when he doesn't speak Mandarin, he has a very strong accent, like someone from the north."

"Anyway, no one on our side talks like him."

Zhou Nan continued: "In that case, it is possible that outsiders who have settled in the local area for several years. ”

"If there is only such a person, I also acted as a middleman to help you contact the auction agency and the appraisal experts."

"Then I don't think this is what a foreigner who is not familiar with life can do."

Zhou Nan's words were completely for Tang Xinyu.

Because they thought that this person was the pickpockets who had just come from out of town.

But now.

The probability that that person was one of these pickpockets was significantly smaller.

When Tang Xinyu heard this, he felt that there was some truth in what he said.

If that person didn't just come to them from out of town.

Is it possible to rule out his identity as a pickpocket?

After all, most of the professional pickpockets in the local area, and some people assured him that they would not show their heads during this time.

Tang Xinyu thought that if the possibility of the other party being a pickpocket was ruled out.

Then the conjecture that these objects are stolen goods is naturally not valid.

It's also possible that these things are really a batch of high-quality imitations.

So the man brought it and asked the owner of the antique shop to help him.

Tang Xinyu thought about it, and suddenly found that he didn't seem to need to think about so many things.

You only need to take those objects out and take a closer look at whether they are real or fake, and you can prove a lot of things.

Or.

Tang Xinyu suddenly asked, "Then how did you contact that person?" ”

"Or do you have a contact information?"

"What's the other person's name?"

The owner of the antique shop immediately said: "I have only known the other party's real name for a few days and have not asked." ”

"He took the initiative to come to the store to see me."

"When we met, he said that he just called him Xiao Li."

"I've been calling him that all the time."

"I asked him for the contact information, but he didn't leave it to me."

"At that time, he only gave me the contact information of the expert and the auction agency, saying that if I met the right customer, I could just give the contact information to that customer, and I didn't need to contact him."

"If he has something, he will come directly to the store to find himself."

When Tang Xinyu heard this, he felt that this person's vigilance was quite high.

Looks like a professional liar.

After that, Tang Xinyu walked around and looked around.

After hearing these words, Zhou Nan also made the same move.

Half a minute later.

Zhou Nan actually took the lead and found a camera at the entrance of the street.

He said, "Officer Tang, you can ask your colleagues to check the surveillance video taken by this camera." ”

"The angle of this camera is just right to capture the door of this store."

Tang Xinyu nodded immediately after a brief moment of surprise.

After asking the owner of the antique shop when they had met, he called his colleague and asked him to help check it.

Subsequently.

Tang Xinyu returned to the store again.

He said to the owner of the antique shop, "Then you can take those things out and take a closer look at them now." ”

"See if something is real or fake."

The owner of the antique shop was also very cooperative, so he led a few people to a corner of the counter.

In front of several people, these small objects were carefully identified again.

In the process of appraisal, he did not forget to take the initiative to talk to Tang Xinyu, probably hoping to leave a good impression on the other party.

Thinking that after getting on a good relationship, things should be handled better on him.

The owner of the antique shop picked up the porcelain and fumbled with it and said, "Actually, even if these things are fake." ”

"It's also possible that the person really wants to get these things out of his hands quickly, but it doesn't mean that this is stolen goods."

"Because something like a literary play, although it sounds quite lofty."

"But no matter how much cultural value it is given, how much meaning it is given."

"In the eyes of many people, it's just a high-grade toy."

"Officer Tang, you should also know that it is not easy for anyone to live now."

"If something goes wrong in business."

"Between a "toy" like this and life, I think many people will choose life. ”

"So it's normal to sell these things at a loss."

Tang Xinyu nodded when he heard this.

He agrees with that view.

And there has always been a saying that Sheng Shiwen plays the gold of troubled times.

During the small talk of several people.

There were also several customers in the store one after another.

Some customers didn't look for the boss, and when they entered the store, they looked for something on the counter themselves.

And there was a middle-aged man with a sunhat who walked directly towards them.

"Boss, I'm here again."

"What are you looking at?"

"Are there any new goodies in the store lately?"

The middle-aged man came up and asked.

He looks like he knows the owner of an antique shop.

After seeing the other party, the owner of the antique shop hesitated for a moment, and then greeted him with a warm face: "Big brother, you are here again." ”

"I've really bought a lot of good goods in my store recently, I'll take you to see it later."

"I still have something on my hands."

After the antique shop owner finished speaking, he turned his head and continued to study.

He has a lot of guests to receive every day.

Especially in the last few days, I'm about to die.

So the owner of the antique shop actually didn't have much of an impression of this person.

However, seeing that the other party was very enthusiastic about himself, he naturally responded enthusiastically.

After all, if the other party is in a good mood, he will make money.

The middle-aged man suddenly said, "I didn't see this thing in your hand last time, is this a new product?" ”

"Can you show me?"

The owner of the antique shop was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't wait for him to speak.

The middle-aged man had already leaned down and looked at it together.

However, it didn't take long.

The middle-aged man's face suddenly changed, and he scolded loudly: "Boss, what's the matter with you? I actually put a fake in the store and sell it! ”

As soon as this statement came out.

The faces of several people around him changed slightly.

The owner of the antique shop trembled even more.

This kind of fake was exposed on the spot, and it was the first time he had encountered it.

And quickly.

He sensed something was wrong.

He'd seen it before.

It's definitely a high imitation of a high imitation, so much so that he didn't see anything wrong at the time.

Even now, he wasn't sure that these things were fakes.

That's why he's willing to take the risk of selling.

Because according to the experience of antique shop owners for many years, this kind of high imitation is difficult to detect.

And even if these things are really fakes.

The speed at which the other party found out was too fast, right?

So a conjecture arose in the mind of the owner of the antique shop.

That liar also put him along?

Put fakes in him and sell them.

Then send his accomplices to his own store to report and crack down on counterfeiting.

Thus forcing yourself to choose to reconcile privately?

And the atmosphere of the scene also became a little dull because of the middle-aged man's words.

Tang Xinyu's idea is also similar to that of the antique shop owner.

I also noticed the strangeness of the person in front of me.

So he had already thought about the other party to that Xiao Li's accomplice.

But to the surprise of the two.

The middle-aged man did not make any threats or shout to complain to the prosecution or anything.

He just said angrily: "A few days ago, I thought I had found a good store. ”

"I didn't expect it to be similar to those stores, putting this kind of high imitation on the shelves to trick people."

"I won't come back in the future, goodbye boss."

Seeing that the other party saw that these objects were high imitations, he did not make trouble in the store or complain or anything.

The owner of the antique shop was in a hurry, because if the other party didn't have anything to ask for.

It's likely that it's just a normal customer.

He immediately explained: "Big brother is like this."

The owner of the antique shop originally wanted to tell a direct lie, saying that he had been deceived when he received the goods.

He is now checking the authenticity of these items and preparing to remove them from the shelves.

But Tang Xinyu was standing next to him at the moment.

He only explained to the other party not long ago that he cooperated with Xiao Li to sell high-quality imitations.

So the owner of the antique shop chose to bypass this topic directly, and said: "Big brother, you are really good eyesight. ”

"I was just looking at the authenticity of these items, and I haven't even seen it yet, but I didn't expect you to find out that these things are fake!"

"I'm not going to sell these things, it's just a person who temporarily stored it here, and it has nothing to do with my store!"

When the middle-aged man heard this, his face softened.

Then he squatted down again and began to talk: "I see. ”

"That's because I misunderstood you, boss."

"But these things are really real, and if I hadn't studied them since I was a child, I wouldn't have been able to tell them so quickly."

These words attracted Tang Xinyu's attention, so he said, "Big brother, can you really be sure that these objects are fake?" ”

The middle-aged man first glanced at Tang Xinyu, and then said, "Do you think I'm bragging?" ”

"I'm a member of the Wind and Elegance Collectors Association, and I have a professional certificate from the association."

Speaking of which.

The middle-aged man's face was full of pride, and he paused and continued: "Maybe these words are relatively unfamiliar to you, and you don't understand them. ”

"I'll talk to you about it in a more common way."

"Haven't you heard of the treasure experts?"

"Even if you haven't heard of it, you should have watched some treasure appreciation videos or programs, and I am."

Tang Xinyu interrupted at this moment: "I understand, I understand." ”

"You're a certified expert."

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "You can also say the same." ”

After that, he also introduced how to tell these items as imitations.

However, Tang Xinyu didn't listen to it at all.

He had already begun to think about it based on this message.

It turns out that these things are really fake, and in this case, they really can't be linked to the stolen goods.

Just when Tang Xinyu was stunned.

The middle-aged man suddenly exclaimed: "Damn! ”

Then he picked up the painting and looked at it carefully.

The crowd was also attracted by this exclamation, so they followed the sound and looked over.

After the middle-aged man exclaimed, he quickly fell silent again.

After a flash of surprise on his face, he spoke again: "Boss, since he put things away." ”

"I guess I want you to sell it on your behalf."

"You say a price, I'll take this thing."

The middle-aged man said, and re-rolled up the calligraphy and painting and put it in his hand.

It looks like it's inevitable.

When the owner of the antique shop heard this, he first looked at Tang Xinyu and found that the other party did not mean to speak.

But he still didn't dare to sell these things in front of a police officer.

And just when the owner of the antique shop wanted to refuse, he suddenly thought of a question, so he asked, "Big brother, isn't it?" ”

"Why are you buying this?"

"Isn't this thing a high imitation?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I'm a collector." ”

"So I think it's worth it, I think I can buy it, then of course I'll pay for it."

"For some people who like to play games, the value of those limited items in the game will be very high."

"But these game items, for those who don't play games, are worthless."

"So your high-quality imitation of calligraphy and painting is worthless to those who want to make money from these things."

"But selling it to me is different."

"I'm sure you should know that, too."

Saying that, the middle-aged man also set a price by himself: "That's it, boss, I'll take 10,000 yuan." ”

The owner of the antique shop exclaimed in his heart.

He was dumbfounded.

Although he understood what the other party said.

But taking 10,000 yuan to buy a fake is too unbelievable!

He had been doing it for so many years, and he had never encountered anything like this.

The owner of the antique shop really wanted to sell these things, after all, such a wronged person is rare.

Usually he sold it early.

But now I can't really sell it!!

So the owner of the antique shop could only tearfully refuse with tears in his eyes.

And I didn't expect it to be such a refusal.

The middle-aged man's face actually showed a trace of panic.

And then again the price was raised.
