Volume 1 The Beginning of Chaos Chapter 016 Visiting the Black Market

"You have been talking about it for so long, and you haven't said a word about what happened, or will you be tired and tell us more about it?"

Zhong Ming looked full of curiosity, but unexpectedly, this behavior aroused the suspicion of the other party, and he looked at the two of them with a vigilant face.

"You're not going to be a policeman, are you? If that's the case, I haven't said anything before, I've been here a few times these days, and every time I come, I ask and I don't believe it, why bother with it?"

When Zhong Ming heard this, he hurriedly said, "How can you see that the two of us look like policemen? Didn't you just catch up, and besides, didn't you see us first?"

Hearing Zhong Ming say this, the manager of the beauty salon nodded, and then changed back to his previous casual posture, and said with a smile: "Also, you really don't look like a policeman, but your girlfriend's temperament looks like a criminal investigation team!"

Zhong Ming's head was full of black lines, and he said in his heart that he really let you guess correctly, Yun Lan's identity is not similar to that of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, but he is not so bad, right?

Seeing that the topic was being taken farther and farther away by Zhong Ming, Yun Lan had no choice but to speak: "You still tell us about Xinxin Jewelry!

"You can hear this, but don't say it's coming from me!"

Although the manager of the beauty salon is gossiping, he is somewhat afraid, after all, the neighbors, if the people of Xinxin Jewelry know that they are talking about other people's gossip behind their backs, it will inevitably be a little embarrassing.

Yun Lan hurriedly opened her mouth and promised: "Don't worry, this word will never be spread in our ears, if you feel unsteady, I will let him swear to you!"

Zhong Ming was a little speechless when he heard this, what do you mean that if people feel unrealistic, let me swear?

Since he knew that there were gods and monsters in this world, Zhong Ming was very vigilant about this matter, and he was also a little afraid of the oath he had made before, if this was really fulfilled one by one, I am afraid that ten lives would not be enough for him to die!

Fortunately, the manager of the beauty salon actually didn't put this matter at ease, if you really want to talk about it, a lot of gossip came out of the Xinxin jewelry store, and she can't be blamed for tracing back to the source.

Stopping Yun Lan, who was about to force Zhong Ming to swear, the store manager sneered: "Actually, it's not that exaggerated, people in several nearby stores have heard of this matter, but I'm closer here, so I know more clearly!"

"It's strange to say, I don't know how many stores there are, and there is more than one that sells jewelry, but only Xinxin Jewelry has an accident, and more than once!

"This person, usually do more good deeds, no one else's family has an accident, just Xinxin jewelry has an accident, but isn't there no accumulation of virtue and good deeds after making money?"

Zhong Ming saw that the manager of the beauty salon was a little verbose, and just wanted to open his mouth to let the other party talk about business first, but Yun Lan grabbed him and shook his head gently to stop his movements.

In desperation, Zhong Ming had no choice but to let it go, but his heart was gradually aroused by the mysterious atmosphere created by the other party.

After some chatter, the manager of the beauty salon saw that the two of them were just listening silently and didn't say a word, and he was a little embarrassed, so he turned the topic back to business!

"If you want to talk about this, you have to start talking about it from last month, that day I happened to be not in the store, and when I came back, I learned from others that something happened to Xinxin Jewelry!

"How much is a diamond ring worth?"

Zhong Ming was a little emotional, he never expected that this store alone would lose so much, and the movement of this thief is probably not small!

"But no, I was anxious for the little girl in the store at that time, and quickly notified the police and the store manager, it is said that after the police came, they asked all the people who were present at the time one by one, and checked the surveillance many times!"

The store manager described it vividly as if he was at the scene at the time, but most of the words in this regard were not made up, but I just don't know if there is a following.

"The police are here, so don't they find anything?"

Zhong Ming continued the conversation at the right time, so that the store manager could continue to talk along the train of thought.

"If you can find something, there will be no rumors that Xinxin Jewelry has hit the evil spirit! You say it's not strange, a room of living people, stunned that they didn't find out when things were lost, and you can't see it when you check the monitoring, those diamond rings are gone in the blink of an eye, and the monitoring happened to have something wrong at that moment, and you can't see anything!"

Zhong Ming heard the question in the other party's words, and hurriedly asked: "No, since there is a problem with the monitoring, maybe the people in the store are guarding and stealing, and they are taking advantage of their positions to do tricks, the police won't even suspect this, right?"

The store manager glanced at Zhong Ming when he heard this, "Didn't you listen to what I said, how could the police not think of this piece, but the time when the problem occurred was just enough for people to blink, who has the ability to get the diamond ring away?"

"Besides, it's not one or two, the whole drawer of diamond rings is not even a tray, what is it if it is not an evil spirit? Otherwise, people will not invite those monks and Taoists to come, isn't there no way out?"

Hearing this, Yun Lan suddenly interjected: "It should be more than this time, otherwise there is no need to rush to find a monk and Taoist, wouldn't it be more reasonable to wait for the police to solve the case?"

"Look at how clever this girl is, she gets to the point at once, isn't it more than once! I have lost things four times, and each time it is the same, do you say that it does not seep into people? Just because of this, several old employees have left the store, and they are afraid that they will be entangled in unclean things!"

Zhong Ming and Yun Lan glanced at each other, neither of them expected that the problem would be so serious!

Xinxin Jewelry is not the only victim of the feedback from the Ministry of Information, counting the other shops, the amount of money involved in this case is simply appalling!

This aspect of the news has obviously been deliberately suppressed, and this supernatural phenomenon, which cannot be explained by common sense, is very likely to bring panic to the people once it is made public, and it will also create some unnecessary trouble for solving the case.

It is imperative that the culprits be identified as soon as possible to stabilize the situation before it further escalates.

Next, the two heard a lot of gossip from the store manager, but most of them were speculations that were difficult to distinguish between true and false, and there was not much reference meaning.

Although I didn't see the staff of Xinxin Jewelry on this trip, the news from the manager of the beauty salon was undoubtedly a surprise for the two!

These gossip, in a sense, may be even more rare!

Next, the two drove to the rest of the victim stores, but the results were not satisfactory!

Maybe the police or the store had greeted them in advance, and most of the clerks were secretive about this matter, plus many of them were new employees transferred from other stores after the old employees left, and Zhong Ming and Yun Lan obviously became a lot more resistant when they investigated the case.

Just when the two of them were at a loss, the Anseong branch called and the Ministry of Information found that someone in the black market was selling a large number of valuables, including jewelry, watches, antiques, etc., which was very likely to be the mastermind behind this incident, and it was recommended that the business department go to check it out immediately!

Yun Lan didn't say a word, didn't hesitate at all, and rushed to the place mentioned by the Ministry of Information with Zhong Ming.

But Zhong Ming was a little uneasy about the black market mentioned on the phone, and when he heard about it, there was some Jianghu atmosphere in this place, and it was difficult to say whether there would be danger after he went.

But it's useless to think more, Yun Lan is a resolute character, with her by her side, it is not easy for Zhong Ming to take the opportunity to slip away.

It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at the place, the black market mentioned in the intelligence is located in several commercial streets in the old city, but it is not comparable to the shopping malls in the city center, most of them are just small stalls and small shops on the street, and they only look lively in the evening on weekdays!

It is said that it is a black market, but there are only a few businesses that have not seen the light of day and have taken root here, and these old oilmen are all locals who have been born and raised here for decades, and they are already familiar with all kinds of inspections.

shoddy audio-visual stores, fake antique shops, pawnshops that take advantage of the situation, and gold shops that lack money...... And so on, and so on, and I don't know how many outsiders have been fooled here!

Locals know that this is boring, but as long as it's not too much, most of them will turn a blind eye and pass, and as long as you have a vicious eye in this place, you can indeed find some good things that are difficult to find in the outside world.

So there has been a saying here, called smart people don't be fooled, don't come if you're afraid of you!

Not to mention, although there are always some wronged people who have lost their money here, they have never seen this place deserted, but many outsiders have come here, just to see what kind of "black" method this legendary Anseong black market is!

Buying and selling this thing, one is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer, these old fritters in the local area also have two brushes, and those who deceive people are convinced, but they rarely cause trouble, and over time, no one wants to care about this!

Zhong Ming had heard of this place before, but after hearing that there were three sects and nine streams of fish and dragons here, he stopped thinking of coming here to have a look, and he had always been a little resistant to this place in his heart.

I didn't expect to be forced to follow Yun Lan here today, only to find that it didn't seem to be as bad as I imagined!

There is still some chaos left on the floor, but some of the shops are already being cleaned in front of the store, and it is not difficult to restore it to a bright and tidy appearance.

Some of the shops that do night market business are not open yet, but you can imagine how lively it must be at night just by the variety of shops in the shopping street.

It was obviously not the first time Yun Lan had come, so she took the bell to the door of a pawnshop, knocked lightly, and then stood there waiting for the people inside to answer.

Pawnshops are generally not open for three years, and they are open for three years, and it is difficult to say when a big deal will come to the door, so the business hours are generally longer.

The door hasn't opened at this time, it's really quite rare, Zhong Ming can't help but be a little vigilant!
