Out of instinctive conditioned reflex, I jumped up from the ground and was about to run away when I suddenly realized who I was at this time.

It was obviously my own antique shop that had been robbed, why should I run? I am the victim, okay?

"What do you want to do?!"

Seeing me leaping up, the female police officer screamed and touched my lower back, but there was nothing. She felt lonely.

"Officer, don't get me wrong. Don't you want your ID card? Here it is!"

I was worried that the female police officer had really misunderstood me, so I hurriedly took out my ID card and handed it over.

The female police officer looked at me with disdain and carefully took the ID card from my hand, while her other hand was still pretending to be on my lower back.

"Xie Dongzi? This store belongs to you?"

"No, no, it belongs to my godfather and was left to me to take care of. I just came back today from a long trip a few days ago, but I didn't expect this..."

"What a coincidence, I was just about to call the police right now!"

I opened my mouth to explain hastily.

The female police officer looked me up and down with her ID card and said, "Well, your store was stolen three days ago. A sanitation worker reported it to the police. Now that you're back, quickly make a list of the stolen items." List, we will file a case immediately."

As she spoke, the female police officer handed me an investigation form. I quickly took it and listed all the stolen items one by one based on my memory.

"Okay, officer, take a look."

The female police officer agreed and took the list. After taking a look at it, she immediately frowned and then looked at me with a puzzled look on her face and asked: "Is this a joke? You are obviously in this store." They’ve all been evacuated, why are there only so many things listed, and what’s the matter with the glass on your doors and windows?”

Hearing this, I hurriedly explained: "Police officer, to be honest, I actually don't have many things in this store. Don't look down on these things. Those are priceless treasures. That stool was made by Emperor Qianlong back then." The urinal I sat on was used by Lafayette, and the dragon underwear was worn by Emperor Xuantong when he was eight years old. They are valuable. I pointed to those items to shop, you ask. I asked why you should also write on the glass of doors and windows. I paid for it, so if it is damaged, can’t I claim compensation?"

"Oh, okay, okay, glass is glass, that's all it's gone. If it's gone, I'll go back to the bureau and file a case."

I nodded and said no, urged her to go back and file the case quickly, and asked him when the case would be solved.

The female police officer said that it is not that easy to solve the case. If there are any clues, she will notify me as soon as possible.

After saying that, the female police officer left. As soon as she left, I sat on the ground again with my back feet.

I didn’t truthfully write down the items I said were lost, because I didn’t dare to write at all. You must know that most of the things in my store were taken from tombs, and they were all shady things.

If I had written this stupidly, I'm afraid that before the thief could catch me, I would have to be caught as a reseller of cultural relics, and then the gains would outweigh the losses.

Although I became smarter for a while, I was still on tenterhooks.

If you can't catch anyone, you can't recover the lost things, and I can't explain anything to Mr. Liu Ba.

If someone catches them, they will be in even greater trouble once those things are recovered, and they might even have to go in and squat there for three to five to seven years.

In my opinion, since the police have intervened and filed a case, I definitely cannot stand by and watch.

I immediately called Fatty Wu. As soon as Fatty Wu heard about this, he took a taxi and came over not long after he put down the phone. As soon as he walked into the antique shop, he immediately complained...

"Damn it, Dongzi, I thought you were joking with me. It was really stolen. Who is so brave to even touch Liu Baye's shop? It must have been screwed up!"

I still sat helplessly on the ground, gave Fatty Wu a hard look, and said angrily: "Stop trying to deal with those useless things, quickly find a way for me, and you must find him out before the police!"

"I have a lot of connections, why don't I give him a call and ask him to help check it out!"

As he said that, Fatty Wu took out his cell phone and was about to call his father. Suddenly, Fatty Wu seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly turned his head to me and said, "Dongzi, According to what you said, it seems that the other party has a grudge against you. If we say that the only people in Tongcheng who have a grudge against you, Xie Dongzi, are Erluzi!"

Erluzi is the stall owner of the antique market who I gave a harsh lesson to before. As for this name, Fatty Wu also told me about it later.

After being reminded by Fatty Wu, he really didn't say anything, it was really like that second donkey did it.

At that time, I was so angry that I suddenly jumped up from the ground. I clenched my fists and gritted my teeth and said, "Let's go and settle the score with Er Donkey!"

"Oh, don't. If we go like this, people will definitely not admit it. As the saying goes, if you catch a traitor, you will get a double, and if you catch a thief, you will get the stolen goods. We have no evidence, and we will easily be beaten down by others!"

I was too impatient at the time and couldn't calm down to think about those things, so I hurriedly asked Fatty Wu what to do.

Fatty Wu told me that there is actually one person who can help, and I know this person well, and that person is Chen Guishou.

Fatty Wu said that Chen Guishou has been setting up a stall in the antique market for more than 20 years. Although he is setting up a stall in the antique market, he is not selling cultural relics and antiques. His stall is a fortune telling stall. , the only one in the entire antique market.

Fatty Wu told me that Chen Guishou’s prestige is very important in the entire antique market, and no one dares to give him face. In other words, why is Erluzi such a donkey-tempered person that he doesn’t dare to make any mistakes after meeting Chen Guishou? s reason.

Speaking of Chen Guishou, I quite like this old man. The first time we met was at Erluzi’s stall, and he helped me at that time.

During the subsequent trip to Dunhuang, he was my teammate who depended on me for life and death, so it was a good idea to ask him for help.

I asked Fatty Wu if he knew where Chen Guishou’s stall was. Fatty Wu immediately patted his chest and said he knew.

At that time, I was still wondering. I remember that Fatty Wu, like me, had never seen Chen Guishou before. How could I know him so well now? He even knew where he set up a stall.

After I asked him about it later, I realized that as soon as Fatty Wu came back, he relied on his father's relationship to worship Chen Guishou as his master.

I was very anxious at the time, so I pulled Fatty Wu and asked him to take me to find Chen Guishou. But when Fatty Wu saw that my hands were empty, he immediately said, "Xie Dongzi, you don't just want to go there empty-handed." Please beg my master.”

As soon as I heard what Fatty Wu said, I immediately understood that I still understand these people's sophistication, and I immediately planned to buy some good cigarettes and wine to give away.

But even so, Fatty Wu still shook his head.

At that time, I looked at Fatty Wu with questioning eyes, and I told him that after all, Chen Guishou and I could be considered teammates who had experienced life and death together, and he shouldn't be limited to these one-sided things.

Fatty Wu nodded in agreement and said what I said made sense, but he said that Chen Guishou had a rule, that is, to help others, the other party needs to be sincere. If the sincerity moves him, he will help, otherwise it will be him. Even if my biological father is gone, there is no need to talk about it.

Fatty Wu also told me that the reason why Chen Guishou agreed to accept him as his apprentice was not because Fatty Wu’s father showed up. It was all because Fatty Wu’s father gave him a set of glazed unicorn locks passed down from his family’s ancestors. , then Chen Guishou reluctantly agreed.

If I don't show some sincerity, Fatty Wu will say that this matter is in doubt.

After hearing what Fatty Wang said, I was speechless for a while. Back in the tomb of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Chen Guishou didn't even take a look at the countless golden treasures.

At that time, I also remembered that he had said personally that he no longer pursued those fluffy things, but now when asking him to do something, he still had to show some sincerity. Isn't this inconsistent?
