Chapter 38 Theft of the opening of the business

For a few days, Chen Cheng was busy dealing with things like decoration, and I drove a second-hand van to the antique mall to pick up the goods.

The underground storage room at the entrance of the hall was also utilized.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the dilapidated storefront had been renovated.

Patterned dark red carpets, antique shelves, and tables and chairs appeared out of nowhere.

Although it is not as big as Hongjiang Antique Shop, there are several rooms in the back hall, but it is already very decent.

Chen Cheng even installed soundproof glass at the railing, but he only needs to open the door when passing through the spiral staircase.

By the eighth day, the sign of the Extraordinary Antique Store had been put up, and it looked very good from the street.

These days, no one has come to harass or disrupt me, which is a bit surprising to me.

"Shen Fan, I'm here!"

At this time, Li Ming was already standing at the door of the store with two or three friends.

"Boss Li!"

I smiled and went out to greet him.

"No, now I'm going to talk about Boss Shen!"

Li Ming smiled and said, "These two are my friends, and I just chatted about you opening a hall on Dongxing Pedestrian Street, and they also want to come and see." ”

Having said that, I could see the hidden meaning in Lee's clear eyes.

It seems that he came here with something else.

"Welcome, it's almost done, and I'm going to hire some more people later."

I greeted them and beckoned them in.

Things have not yet been put on the shelves, and now you can only see the pattern inside the hall.

"Not bad, there are two more floors!"

Li Mingming's friend walked around as he spoke.

"That's the ...... above Acoustic glass? ”

Walking up the stairs, Li Ming took a closer look, and then turned to his friend, "You and your buddy will walk down there first, and I'll talk to Boss Shen for a while." ”

As he spoke, he led me upstairs, and when he closed the door, his eyes became serious.

"It's very dangerous to open the hall here."

"Xiao Luo and Xiao Chen told me."

Li Mingming frowned and slowly spoke, "Have you ever walked through Dongxing Pedestrian Street?" There were originally a lot of antique shops here, but they were all squeezed out. ”

"I'm not afraid of shadows, since I dare to drive here, I have confidence."

I smiled and patted Li Mingming on the shoulder, "Don't worry. ”

"Well, I believe you."

Li Ming nodded slightly, "Pay attention to the goods not to be transferred." ”

"I'll take notice."

I thought to myself, the goods were all brought from the market by myself, and they were all in the basement, and unless someone sneaked in, there shouldn't be any big problems.

The monitoring has been used all, but no one has been guarding the monitoring for the time being.

At most, I would go to the entrance of the hall every day and fast-forward to watch the video of the previous night in front of me.

In the past few days, I have watched it all, and there is nothing to do, and no one from the Ronghua antique shop has come.

There are some strangers who will point fingers at my shop and discuss it.

Time flies quickly, and I see a lot of goods every day, so I can't pull all the cars back, and some of them are still predetermined.

In the next few shipments, Chen Cheng has already followed me because he doesn't need to be busy with too many things.

This puts me at ease.

Time passed, and I was able to solve the problem of opening in half a month.

After talking to Li Mingming, I decided to open in three days.

But the day before the opening, the trouble finally came!

During the day, as usual, I came to the entrance of the hall and entered the monitoring room on the third floor to see the monitoring situation.

I thought it was business as usual, so I fast-forwarded.

But just as I was fast forwarding, I saw a figure flash through the back door!

I rewound and looked for myself.

The man was dressed in a black tracksuit with his head covered.

He stayed at the back door for a while.

I opened the back door directly!

I followed his footsteps and followed his footsteps with the monitor.

Following the surveillance, the man in black walked into the basement!

I realized something was wrong and immediately paused surveillance and rushed to the basement.

Sure enough, something was stolen!

Before it opened, did you start doing these things for me?

I counted the goods, but there were only two paintings missing.

Those two authentic paintings of Tang Yin!

Among the more than 400,000 goods I came over, only these two paintings cost me 100,000!

According to the market price, these two paintings can be opened for at least 300 to 5 million.

Obscene!

I frowned and went back to the monitoring room to continue confirming.

After the masked man took the things, he also helped me lock the door by the way!

He...... He used the key?

I was a little stunned, the key here, except for me and Chen Cheng, that is, the landlord, right?

Is it the landlord?

With this in mind, I found the landlord of this store.

"The spare key has always been with you, right?"

I got straight to the point and asked.

"No, I'll give you all the keys directly."

The landlord said directly, "When we signed the contract before, we didn't show it to you, and asked for the key and spare key for you." ”

Seeing my appearance, the landlord already had a bit of a guess.

"But ......"

I frowned, lost in thought.

"Something was stolen?"

"That's right."

I nodded, noticing that he seemed to be unfazed by the matter, "Do you know anything more?" ”

"I've changed this lock before, and it's still an anti-theft door."

The landlord sighed as he spoke, "It turns out that this back door is an ordinary wooden door, and some people who came to open antique shops were like this before, and just before the opening, the most important thing was lost." ”

"It's the same if you change the door?"

I asked, "I remember, the last antique maker should have been this security door, right?" ”

"It's the same, the last shopkeeper here was the casual clothes big brother who transferred it to you, and he also deliberately installed surveillance to guard against it."

The landlord told me in detail about what had happened before.

Even if the previous owner installed the surveillance, the things were still stolen.

As I saw, they seemed to have keys and were able to enter the antique shop randomly.

"It was useless for him to report the crime, and after looking for a long time, I couldn't see any trace of the murderer."

The landlord sighed as he spoke, "Then someone steals every now and then......"

He told me how the previous uncle's store manager had collapsed the antique shop.

After something was stolen, he even asked someone to help him watch the store at night, but those people looked at the store for a few days and didn't do it, or lured the people to do it again......

In the end, because no one was identified in the surveillance, all the stolen items were not recovered.

"In this way, you can let the store, or don't rent it, I have no objection, and I can return the money to you as it is."

The landlord sighed as he spoke, "You better rent it in another place." ”

"It's okay, I'll have a way."

I nodded slightly, "I'll continue to rent." ”

That's when a countermeasure came to mind.
