Seeing that the other party actually raised the price again in such a short period of time.

Of course, the old fritter of the antique shop owner has sensed that the meaning is wrong.

So he opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Big brother, why don't you return this calligraphy and painting to me first." ”

"Let's talk about it if we sell it or not."

When the middle-aged man heard this, he said: "Although the expression on his face was extremely reluctant, he still returned the thing." ”

"After all, he hasn't paid yet, the things are still someone else's, and he has no reason not to pay it back."

After taking this calligraphy and painting.

The owner of the antique shop looked at it carefully.

This time, he looked very carefully because of the strange behavior of the middle-aged man.

Although he did not know much about calligraphy and painting.

But I still saw that the materials used in this painting and calligraphy, such as paper, ink and the like, were indeed some years old.

In the process of inspecting the antique shop, the owner of the antique shop suddenly felt that this painting and calligraphy was a little familiar.

He took out his phone and logged on to a website.

Then enter the inscription in the lower right corner of the calligraphy and painting.

This website includes this painting and calligraphy.

Records on the website show.

The painting and calligraphy have been traded more than a dozen times.

Now it should be in the hands of a folk collector.

This also made the antique shop owner more suspicious.

He downloaded the original high-resolution image on the website, enlarged it and compared it carefully.

It was found that this high-imitation calligraphy and painting not only restored those tiny flaws and some spots and cracks.

The charm of the whole painting and calligraphy is also very similar to that in the picture.

The degree of restoration is indeed very high!

This made the owner of the antique shop exclaim in his heart.

So this is the reason why the other party keeps raising prices?

This thought popped up in the heart of the owner of the antique shop.

Suddenly, another thought came to mind.

Is there a possibility that this painting and calligraphy is real?!

Although there are some differences between the look and the photos on the phone.

But that's just a picture, after all.

How is it possible to restore the picture 100%.

The lighting used at the time, the equipment used to shoot it, and the distortion of the image uploaded to the Internet can cause subtle errors that may cause it to look a little different from the actual thing.

Plus the abnormal behavior of the person in front of him.

The owner of the antique shop has confirmed that this calligraphy and painting is the real thing!

He didn't believe that any collector would be so obsessed with a high-quality imitation anyway.

Even after giving such a high price, he was rejected and still chose to raise the price.

And after learning that this calligraphy and painting is most likely genuine.

The owner of the antique shop still didn't think about the stolen goods.

He felt that it was more likely that Xiao Li, who entrusted him, also looked away.

Picked up a leak yourself!

But the owner of the antique shop even confirmed that it was genuine.

I can't raise the price with a big mouth, and I can make a lot of money.

After all, there are still a few policemen standing nearby.

The owner of the antique shop sighed in his heart at the moment.

I'm too unlucky!

If he hadn't met these people today, it is estimated that he would have been able to fish and rest in the second half of the year!

The middle-aged man saw that the other party took out his mobile phone and identified this calligraphy and painting on the Internet.

Somehow, he suddenly panicked, and he said: "Fifteen thousand, what do you think, this is also my final price!" ”

The owner of the antique shop sneered in his heart when he heard this.

If it's the real thing, it's not the final price.

He had just seen on the website that the last time the item was sold was 86,000.

If in normal times.

The owner of the antique shop has already directly shouted 80,000 yuan at a fixed price.

Available now.

Then.

Tang Xinyu on the side also coughed lightly.

So the owner of the antique shop could only say with tears in his eyes: "I'm sorry big brother, this calligraphy and painting was really put here by someone else." ”

"I don't have the right to be the master."

"Why don't you look at something else?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, a trace of anger first appeared on his face, and then he seemed to be laughed angrily: "I didn't expect you to be such an honest person, boss." ”

"Forget it, I'll come back tomorrow."

"Think about it."

said.

Regardless of the retention of the owner of the antique shop, he strode out of the store.

After the middle-aged man is gone.

Tang Xinyu patted the owner of the antique shop on the shoulder: "That's all for those situations." ”

"I'll put the things with you first, don't sell them."

"If that person comes back to you to get these things, you must report it to us in time."

"By the way, you can leave a phone call, because we're a little busy right now, and we may not be able to spare time later."

"I'll call you then, and then you go to the office and explain the specific situation."

"I won't bother you about business, let's go first."

After speaking.

Tang Xinyu was ready to take Zhou Nan and his colleagues to go shopping elsewhere.

He had already seen that the owner of the antique shop had not seen any other suspicious people except for Xiao Li, and if there were, he had already confessed just now.

So Tang Xinyu was going to go to other places to see if he could find the information of those pickpockets from other places.

Come to think of it.

Tang Xinyu also glanced at his phone.

I found that there was no message from my colleague.

It seems that the female pickpocket did not have any breakthrough in interrogation, and did not get any useful information.

He put his phone back in his pocket, turned and walked away.

The owner of the antique shop stopped the other party at this moment: "Officer Tang, my performance just now should be pretty good." ”

"That's what happened to me."

Tang Xinyu naturally has to stabilize the other party's emotions, otherwise if the other party does not cooperate, it will be a lot of trouble.

He nodded and said, "Good behave." ”

"And it's not a big deal about you, don't worry."

When the owner of the antique shop heard this, he was relieved.

Although he didn't make any money, at least most of his affairs were solved, so his mood at the moment was not so bad.

However, Zhou Nan suddenly asked at this moment: "Boss, has that person really been in your store several times before?" ”

"A repeat customer?"

The owner of the antique shop was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

And the second half of the sentence, he didn't say it.

He was because this man was warm to him, and was familiar with his shop and knew him.

He relied on these three points to make his judgment.

However, because the owner of the antique shop was exposed before, he didn't have a good impression of Zhou Nan.

Naturally, I didn't plan to talk to the other party in such detail.

So he casually said a perfunctory sentence.

Zhou Nan nodded when he heard this, and didn't continue to ask.

Then he followed Tang Xinyu's footsteps and stepped out of the store together.

The owner of the antique shop saw a few people leaving.

The smile on his face disappeared immediately.

scolded and scolded: "It's really unlucky! ”

I found a random chair and sat down.

After seeing these things and not taking them away.

The owner of the antique shop had the idea of whether he could keep these things.

After all, when Xiao Li handed over these things to him and entrusted him to help sell them.

told him that he only needed 10,000 yuan.

How much he can sell depends on his own ability, and the excess is all his.

The owner of the antique shop after seeing the calligraphy and painting.

He felt that this calligraphy and painting could be sold for a high price of 70,000 or 80,000 yuan.

In other words, just this calligraphy and painting, he can make a lot of money.

So the owner of the antique shop has already begun to weigh in his heart, whether to choose to take risks for the sake of these 60,000 or 70,000 yuan.

The owner of the antique shop felt that there was still a lot of room for maneuvering.

The stakes don't seem to be very high.

For example, he can entrust this calligraphy and painting to others to make a replica, and when the police need these items in the future, he can hand in the imitation.

After all, in the eyes of those policemen, these things are fake.

That Xiao Li also thinks that this thing is fake.

Then no one should be suspicious.

And as long as this thing drops the bag, he can make a lot of money.

But.

The antique shop owner thought about it.

If you want to do this, you have to come up with a more elaborate plan.

After all, this matter has been targeted by the police, and the police have intervened.

If it is not handled well, it will definitely be found flawed.

Therefore, the owner of the antique shop did not go, and was in a hurry to contact some professionals in the field of forgery.

Instead, the customers were entertained first.

When you're free, take your time and make plans.

A few hours later, it was already time for the afternoon meal.

The customers in the store are gone.

Antique shop owners usually choose to close their doors at this point in time.

The shop will open in the evening.

So just as he was about to close the door and go home for dinner.

A tall man wearing a black mask who looked like he had a lot of wax on his head walked in.

The owner of the antique shop hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, big brother. ”

"Why don't you come back in the evening, I'll have to go home for dinner."

The tall guy said, "Hello, it was Brother Li who asked me to get something." ”

"I'm his brother. Just call me Xiao Gao. ”

The owner of the antique shop heard that the other party was here to pick up something, and heard the title of "Brother Li".

So I thought that it was Xiao Li who came to him to do a game and entrusted him to sell Wenwan.

The owner of the antique shop just wanted to report the crime in front of the other party.

But thought about it.

Maybe this matter can not be so urgent.

Let's talk to each other first to see if you can leave that calligraphy and painting.

So the owner of the antique shop took out the hand that was in his pocket, a smile appeared on his face, and he reached out and shook the other party's hand: "It turned out to be Xiao Li's younger brother." ”

"Xiao Gao, you sit down first, and I'll pour you a cup of tea."

Xiao Gao nodded, after he took the cup handed by the other party, the boiled water in a disposable plastic cup.

The owner of the antique shop said, "What are you taking?" ”

"Didn't you say you would sell it with me?"

Xiao Gao's face showed a hint of apology: "That's the case, my brother doesn't want to sell these things again." ”

"You know, these things are some high-quality imitations."

"He's afraid that selling it in your store will ruin your store's reputation."

When the owner of the antique shop heard this, he secretly rolled his eyes several times.

Afraid of delaying his reputation, why did he still sell things here in the first place?

It is estimated that he was afraid that he would take on the responsibility of selling fakes, so he did not dare to sell them.

The owner of the antique shop smiled and said, "It's okay, your brother is also my friend." ”

"Isn't it just a little fame?"

"It's nothing."

Xiao Gao said with some embarrassment when he heard this: "Boss, you are indeed a real person, no wonder my brother has been praising you with me these days." ”

"So I'll tell you the truth."

"Actually, my brother found a seller who wanted to buy his stuff."

"When the man saw the photos and videos, he said that he would directly collect all his goods, so I am coming back to get the things now."

When the owner of the antique shop heard this, he immediately became anxious: "How can it be, didn't you say that I would sell good things?" ”

Xiao Gao said: "I'm really sorry boss. ”

"Give me the things."

"My brother also told me that when he gave you the things, he also told you that if he didn't want to sell them, he would come to you to get them back."

"You said yes at the time."

The owner of the antique shop was annoyed.

At that time, he not only agreed, but also signed a series of contracts with the other party.

This was again proposed by him.

In order to be afraid that the other party will regret it.

And just when he was in trouble, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in his mind.

The owner of the antique shop replied, "Your brother did tell me about these things, but I have already sold them." ”

Xiao Gao exclaimed when he heard this: "Huh?!" ”

"It's been sold, how much did it cost?"

The owner of the antique shop said: "I met a small boss and sold it for 13,000. ”

"According to what I said before and what I agreed with your brother, no matter how much I sell, I only need to give him 10,000 yuan, and the more is mine."

When Xiao Gao heard this, he looked a little depressed: "That's a pity!" ”

"Boss, you should also buy a loss!"

"The buyer who came to my brother came up and opened his mouth for 30,000 yuan."

"And my brother didn't bargain with him, but because he didn't reply in time, the other party actually added another five thousand immediately."

"In the end, my brother talked to him about forty thousand!"

"I guess there's something in these things that we're looking at!"

When the owner of the antique shop heard this, he immediately pretended to be very surprised, and then said, "No, could it be that your brother has been deceived?" ”

Xiao Gao thought for a moment when he heard this, and finally nodded: "It's possible." ”

Then Xiao Gao said: "Okay, my brother did say this to you." ”

"Then you give me 10,000 yuan, whether to transfer money or give cash directly."

The owner of the antique shop said, "Otherwise, your brother should come to me for the money." ”

At the moment, he didn't just have the idea of wanting to occupy those objects.

even wanted Xiao Li to take the initiative to find him.

Then he cooperated with the police to take the other party down.

In this way, maybe he can save even this 10,000 yuan.

Xiao Gao shook his head, and he said, "My brother has something to do and is busy." ”

After speaking, he took out a contract from his pocket: "My brother said, let me give you the contract, you just give me the money." ”

When the owner of the antique shop heard this, it was not good to continue to pull it, for fear that the other party would be suspicious.

And those objects, still in the corners of the cabinet, have not been put away.

He was afraid that the other party would stay in the store for a long time, and if he saw those objects, it would be difficult to do it.

So I chose to transfer money.

After getting the money, Xiao Gao said goodbye to the boss and left.

And after he left that antique shop.

A sneer appeared on his face.

It's so easy to deceive!
