Chapter 1116 Seeing Xia Zhicheng Again

Zhong Zhili chuckled and said, "Of course it's too dangerous to investigate Chu Chen now, but his friends should be fine. Besides, if it's too easy, the money won't be too easy to earn? Besides, don't worry, if you really investigate If you find useful clues and the final result satisfies me, the previous conditions will remain the same, and I will give you a few more antiques, which are guaranteed to be genuine tributes from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the value will not be less than 1000 million."

"This... I don't know anything about antiques!"

"It's easy, you can also choose the money directly."

"But antiques will still appreciate in value. If I choose money, wouldn't that be a disadvantage?"

"Lin Laosan, I have to say that you are very shameless. When the matter is over, I will increase it by [-]%."

Lin Laosan chuckled and said, "Boss Zhong, since you said that, please allow me to be more shameless and increase by 50.00%, otherwise the benefit and contribution will not be proportional at all."

Zhong Zhili was silent for a moment when Lin Laosan said this, and then said lightly: "According to my previous temper, you are dead."

Lin Laosan chuckled: "Just say it's okay?"

Zhong Zhili sneered: "Hey, of course it's okay, it depends on how well you finish the job. In addition, you have to remember that you are not Chu Chen, and those who lie to me will have no good end!"

Lin Laosan made a haha, and the two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

"Young Master Chu, you should have heard what he said, right? If he really finds out that I am helping you, with his character, my family will really be able to eat and walk away." Lin Laosan's face was full. Said anxiously.

"You deserve it! If you weren't greedy for money, how could you have gotten to where you are now!"

Chu Chen sneered secretly, and said with a smile: "In this regard, I think Captain Liang will make proper arrangements."

Captain Liang nodded, reassuring Lin Laosan that not only him, but also his wife and children abroad will be protected by special personnel.

With Captain Liang's guarantee, Youngest Lin finally felt relieved, and then he asked, "Then what should I do next?"

Captain Liang looked at Chu Chen and asked him what he thought.

Chu Chen thought for a while and said, "Please wait for me to make a call..."

After finishing speaking, Chu Chen went to the side and dialed the mobile phone number of the fifth child.

"Fifth brother, where are you now?"

"I'm in the market right now, and I think I'll be back tomorrow morning. Is there anything I need to take care of?"

"Oh, I have a case here, and I want to ask you for a favor."

"Case?" Lao Wu was a little puzzled after hearing this, "But I don't know how to solve cases."

"This has nothing to do with solving the case. I want you to 'speak the truth after drinking'. As for the details, let's talk in detail after you come back."

"Row……"

After hanging up the phone, Chu Chen walked back and told everyone his idea.But he just asked Lin Laosan to send someone to contact Lao Wu, and he didn't say the plan immediately. On the one hand, he had to think about how to avoid Zhong Zhili's suspicion. He had to be more cautious about finding the treasure.

Next, Chu Chen shared his thoughts with Captain Liang alone, and then left.

…………

Early the next morning, Chu Chen went to the antique shop, and when it was nearly ten o'clock, the fifth child also came over.

Just when Chu Chen was about to take the fifth child to his office, Xia Zhicheng (Chapter [-]) came in excitedly, wanting Chu Chen to help him look at the newly received things.

For Xia Zhicheng, Chu Chen didn't like him very much, and last time because of his hole-in-the-wall, he even released a word in the market that the hammer must be faked and compensated five, otherwise the hammer will not be allowed to gain a foothold in Panjiayuan.

Let's not talk about the right and wrong, first of all, Xia Zhicheng's attitude still makes Chu Chen feel quite uncomfortable, and he can be sure that if it weren't for his identity, Xia Zhicheng would have to make him lose money, so Xia Zhicheng came to him for appraisal , he didn't even want to talk about it.

And what Xia Zhicheng was holding, he didn't think it was a good thing after looking at it. What if Xia Zhicheng behaved like last time after the appraisal, he was just asking himself to be bored.

However, just when Chu Chen was about to politely refuse, he suddenly thought of something. Once, when he was eating in a restaurant, he happened to see Xia Zhicheng and his elders eating, and their voices were a bit loud, so he just heard When these people mentioned Lin Laosan, they seemed to have a good relationship with each other.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen had another thought in his mind, and he smiled and asked Xia Zhicheng to wait in the reception room first, while he explained a few words to Lao Wu.

Chu Chen and Lao Wu walked into the reception room together, and the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Xia Zhicheng put the things in front of Chu Chen.

What Xia Zhicheng brought was actually a birdcage, which looked pretty good at first glance. The body of the cage was made of bamboo, with a tower-shaped axis carved in the center of the top of the cage, and a "C"-shaped hook in the middle. Two pairs of complete water and food tanks and a small bottle, with inverted cone-shaped feet carved from boxwood.

While Chu Chen was observing there, Xia Zhicheng said triumphantly, "Mr. Chu, to tell you the truth, I got this thing because of luck."

"Oh, how do you say it?" Chu Chen cooperated curiously.

"That's what happened..."

It turned out that half a month ago, when Xia Zhicheng was wandering around the antique market, he met a Mr. Qian who claimed to be a collector. Come to show Xia Zhicheng, and ask him: "Do you have such a birdcage? If so, I will pay a high price for yours."

This person also left contact information for Xia Zhicheng, asking Xia Zhicheng to contact him when he saw this thing.

For all of this, Xia Zhicheng was very contemptuous, because last time he was cheated by the hammer, he studied a lot of scams in the antique market, like Mr. Qian, he thought he was a liar at all, so he just threw away the contact information of the other party .

Just like that, Xia Zhicheng put this matter behind him, but what he didn't expect was that when he went to the countryside with a broker the day before yesterday to shop for treasures, he actually saw an identical birdcage, which was exactly the same birdcage that Chu Chen was currently working on. Saw this.

Xia Zhicheng was very surprised when he saw the birdcage. At first he thought it was a hoax, but the owner swore that this birdcage was his family's heirloom, and besides him, there were other people who took a fancy to this bird cage.In the end, he thought that this matter should not be such a coincidence, and felt that the birdcage was really good, so he bought it for 5 yuan.

After buying the birdcage home, Xia Zhicheng liked it more and more. He felt that he must have picked up a mistake this time, but he felt a little regretful that he had lost the contact information given by that person, otherwise he could call Ask how much something is worth.So, he took the birdcage and asked Chu Chen to help him identify it.

After hearing what happened, Chu Chen and the fifth child were speechless. This was obviously another pitfall. Let alone other things, since the birdcage was passed down from the family, where did the photo come from?Maybe there is another birdcage exactly the same, but how likely is this?
Due to Chu Chen's previous confession, Lao Wu immediately murmured: "This is really strange, Mr. Xia, if what happened is really like what you said, where did you take the photo of that person? "

Hearing what Lao Wu said, Xia Zhicheng felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on him from head to toe in the winter. It was so cold. After a while, he said dryly, "Maybe the photo is from the past of that family. Let someone take a picture."

Even Xia Zhicheng didn't believe what he said. Apart from other things, the background of the photo didn't look like the location of that family.Could it be that he was deceived again, shouldn't he?
Next, Lao Wu poured cold water on him again: "And if I remember correctly, the one you mentioned who stretched the fiber should be Hammer's friend."

"What? You're not mistaken, are you?" Xia Zhicheng was taken aback when he heard that.

"How could it be possible to make a mistake? Many people know about this matter." Speaking of this, Lao Wu murmured again: "I didn't even know about this matter beforehand, I really have a big heart."

Hearing what Lao Wu said, besides gnashing his teeth at La Xian, Xia Zhicheng was also very dissatisfied with Lao Wu. If it weren't for the consideration of Chu Chen's identity, it would be possible to stage a full martial arts.

Fortunately, he is still a little rational now, took a deep breath, and asked: "Mr. Chu, is there really something wrong with my birdcage?"

Chu Chen replied: "A good birdcage pays attention to the thin strips of bamboo (bamboo skin combined), which is exquisite and beautiful; the cage hook pays attention to copper-silver alloy, which comes from the jewelry building, which is shiny and soft, and will not rust for a long time; the black bar pays attention to mahogany. Or Venus ebony, which is gorgeous and rich; the cover plate (the round copper plate on the top of the cage) is exquisitely carved with auspicious patterns, which is antique and intriguing; the bird food jar pays attention to thin porcelain with pure color and exquisite painting workmanship.”

"This birdcage like yours is not bad, but it is still far from what I said, and there is basically no patina on the birdcage, and there seems to be no trace of raising birds. Overall, I think This birdcage should have been made in recent years."

After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, when Xia Zhicheng looked at the birdcage again, his attitude changed 180 degrees, wishing he could smash the birdcage right away.

"Thank you, Teacher Chu, for your guidance!" Xia Zhicheng's performance was slightly better than last time. He knew that he would thank Chu Chen before leaving, but it was not much better, so he picked up his things and hurried out the door.

At this time, Lao Wu said loudly: "Who does this guy think he is, and he doesn't even know how to pay for the appraisal!"

Although Xia Zhicheng walked fast, the words of the fifth child still fell into his ears, but he didn't know whether it was because he was in a hurry to find someone to settle the account, or because of something, his footsteps just paused, and he walked out of the gate at the same speed as before .This made everyone very speechless.

Seeing this situation, Lao Wu was really surprised: "Does this person really not know what is shame and what is polite?"

Chu Chen smiled: "This is the best, otherwise we will feel guilty..."

After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and called Lin Laosan...
