The last time I came to Jiangcheng to meet Wu Muyang, I didn't find that he was a talkative person. After getting to know each other and becoming friends, they chatted endlessly and talked about many strange things.

The topic still revolves around the antique business. He has been in the antique business all his life. He has experienced tomb robbing and jailed, and his level is still very high.

In Taihang Tower, he is probably considered a Patriarch-level figure, and I don't know if anyone is looking for him to come out.

If you find it again, whether you agree or not is another matter.

"In the collection world, there are indeed many people who do whatever it takes to make money, which is what you call fraud." Wu Muyang smoked a cigarette and said with relish, "Monsters are one thing, and ghosts can also play tricks. I Let me tell you one thing, the authenticity is very high and it shows that fraud has become an art. ”

Qin Fei and Lin Chen didn't know why, what kind of monster was this?

Chen Yi asked directly: "What does monster mean?"

Wu Muyang smiled and said: "I'm sorry to say that I'm used to it, but monsters are very deceptive fakes. The level of counterfeiting is very high, and ordinary people can't really tell. Even professionals can detect them. They need a sharp eye, so they are called monsters. "

Chen Yi nodded to express understanding: "Did the ghost come from tomb robbery?"

Wu Muyang: "Yes."

Chen Yi: "You continue."

Wu Muyang: "About twenty years ago, a businessman near Taihang Tower was fond of jade bracelets. Many people wanted to make money from him, but he was very cautious and did not take action easily. His eyesight was also very high, and he kept coming one after another. After all the efforts were made, no one gained anything.”

"Can this be tolerated? He must be allowed to have a long memory. Such an awesome person is not allowed to exist in the antique world, so the top team in the industry took action."

Chen Yi smiled and said: "The top team in the industry? Interesting."

He wasn't joking, he really found it interesting. Aren't top teams just top fraudsters? Every industry has its own hidden secrets. Even if it's illegal, you still need to respect it, let alone more than 20 years ago.

Wu Muyang: "This group of people is very powerful. I also heard it mentioned by others. In order to make this businessman pay obediently, they prepared for more than three months, specifically investigating this person's weaknesses, and finally chose a direction."

"Businessmen are superstitious and believe that there are monsters and ghosts in the world, so the team started from this aspect."

Chen Yi and the others listened carefully, looking forward to the development of the story below.

Wu Muyang: "One day, after the merchant came out from a jade bracelet shop, a farmer in rags stopped him. He mysteriously said that he had good things in his hand and asked him if he wanted it. Of course the merchant was interested and wanted to Look, but the farmers are very taboo, saying I’ll meet you outside the village tomorrow.”

"The businessman agreed and went to the appointment the next day. The farmer took out a jade bracelet from his arms and showed it to the businessman. It was a very rare jade bracelet with dirt on it. The businessman saw at a glance that it was genuine and valuable, so he asked How much does the other party pay?”

"The farmer said 20,000 yuan, which was already very cheap, but the merchant wanted to lower the price to 10,000 yuan. He also pointed out that the jade bracelet had an unknown origin to scare the farmers. In the end, the price was 10,000 yuan."

Hearing this, Chen Yi asked: "Is the bracelet real?"

Wu Muyang: "It's true, it has to be true, otherwise how could I be tricked? Guess what that night, the merchant who was admiring the jade bracelet at home encountered a ghost. A female ghost wearing ancient costumes rushed in with disheveled hair. The merchant’s wife was frightened to death on the spot, and the merchant was also very frightened.”

"The female ghost said that the bracelets were hers, a pair. She also raised her hand to let the merchant see the jade bracelet on her right hand. If you want to take ill-gotten gains, you have to pay the price. The merchant trembled in order to survive and handed over the jade bracelet."

"In this way, the merchant lost ten thousand."

Speaking of this, Wu Muyang took a sip of tea.

Chen Yi knew it wasn't over yet, so he went to such great lengths to defraud 10,000 yuan. It was really a little, and there should be a follow-up.

Putting down the teacup, Wu Muyang continued: "The female ghost had just left the main hall and had not yet reached the gate. A Taoist priest suddenly appeared and killed the female ghost in two or two strokes. The merchant immediately ran out and thanked her profusely and flattered her. The Taoist priest also did not Pay attention to her, search the female ghost's body, and prepare to take away two jade bracelets."

"The merchant asked if he could share one of them, and the Taoist priest said yes. Which one do you want?"

"The merchant took a fancy to the other one because the other one was fuller of green, more crystal clear, and priceless."

"The Taoist priest offered a price of one million, but the merchant hesitated and was about to bargain. The Taoist priest turned around and left without saying a second time. The merchant became anxious and immediately took out all the cash of 300,000 yuan from home."

"The 700,000 Taoist priests didn't care. They took the money and the female ghost and left. The merchants were delighted to have harvested the best jade."

Chen Yi understood: "Is the jade bracelet fake?"

Wu Muyang: "It can't be fake anymore. It's not jade, it's glass! It's hard to see it clearly at night, and he never doubted the influence of the so-called female ghost. After discovering this, the merchant threw the bracelet angrily and cursed for several days.”

Qin Fei and Lin Chen looked strange. They worked really hard to make the merchants remember, but they succeeded.

By the way, is this a scam?

If a merchant takes the initiative to buy a bracelet and another one, as long as he does not admit his subjective motives, it seems to be a prank.

Chen Yi smiled and shook his head: "Interesting."

He originally didn't want to care about Jiangcheng's antique fraud, and now he doesn't want to care about it anymore. Only you can't think of it, but they can't do it.

I'm afraid the businessman also understood very well. He thought he was unlucky and did not choose to call the police. Who could he blame if others took advantage of his weakness?

For someone who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods and is not obsessed with jade bracelets, this trick won't work. It's simply tailor-made.

How else to call it [the top team in the industry].

At that time, even if the merchant chose the original one, he would have to pay a price. The Taoist priest "killed ghosts" and it was an ownerless thing.

Wu Muyang said: "This kind of thing rarely happens now. Everyone is becoming more and more savvy, and young people are also very smart. They will not be easily deceived. If you think about making money through other means, that is a complete crime." Here.”

The three of them all gained knowledge, and the more they chatted, the happier they became.

At this time, a young man walked into the store. Chen Yi turned around and found that it was the man who had previously bought the Qianlong Bowl for 60,000 yuan.

He wrapped the things in his hands with a piece of cloth and came to Wu Muyang.

"Eh? Brother, you are here too."

After recognizing Chen Yi, the young man was a little surprised.

Chen Yi smiled and nodded in response.

The young man didn't say anything more. He put the coarse cloth in his hand on the table and opened it, and said: "Boss Wu, I just bought the Qianlong pink broccoli bowl. You can check the ingredients and I will give you the appraisal fee later."

Since Huayuzhai can be opened in Taihang Building, Wu Muyang, as the boss, naturally has to have some skills, otherwise he would have lost everything.

"Well……"

Wu Muyang looked at the bowl in front of him, then at Chen Yi. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the bowl in front of him and found the purple identification lamp from the drawer.

In less than a minute, Wu Muyang gave the result: "Genuine product."

"Authentic?!" the young man said excitedly, "Boss Wu, are you sure?"

Wu Muyang glanced at Chen Yi again, nodded and said: "It's sure, it's genuine. You can go to the auction house and ask again."

Qin Fei and Lin Chen were a little confused. Damn it, it was real or fake. The estimate given online was hundreds of thousands higher!

If I had bought it for 50,000 yuan just now... wouldn't the story Chen Yi made up come true? ?

Why don't you be so dramatic?

The two looked at Chen Yi, who drank tea silently and didn't react much. They knew that hundreds of thousands was nothing to Chen Yi.

The young man's face turned red with excitement, and he couldn't help but said to Chen Yi: "Brother, I'm sorry, I missed it. I mean, the more I looked at it, the more something was wrong. It looks very much like the real thing. I was right to bet!"

Chen Yi sighed: "It's a pity, it should have been mine. Can I take a look?"

The young man laughed: "Okay, okay!"

Chen Yi picked up the bowl, looked at it and put it back.

Seeing this, the young man carefully wrapped up the guava bowl in front of him, turned around to pay and left.

Halfway through, he turned back and said, "Brother, meeting each other is fate. If you want it, I'll give you 800,000 yuan."

"Eight hundred thousand?" Chen Yi thought for a while and asked Wu Muyang: "How much is this thing worth?"

Wu Muyang opened his mouth and reminded him carefully, but it was difficult to reveal it at this moment: "It's about the same price. You also know that there are fluctuations. If you are lucky, it can exceed a hundred."

After learning the price, Chen Yi thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take it."

The young man readily put the coarse cloth on the table: "Brother, how do you pay?"

Chen Yi: "Wait a minute while I watch."

After speaking, he opened the coarse cloth, picked up the bowl inside, and looked at it carefully.

The young man said from the side: "Brother, Boss Wu's reputation is one of the best in Taihang Tower. What he says is true and you can't be wrong."

Wu Muyang glared at him fiercely, is your kid seriously ill?

He was ready for the second appraisal. As long as Chen Yi handed it over, he would tell the truth. If it didn't work, he would give a hint.

Chen Yi looked over and over for a long time, and finally fell to the ground with a look of astonishment in the eyes of several people.

Snapped!

An antique worth nearly one million was smashed into pieces.

"Holy shit!" The young man took two steps back and was immediately confused, "You, you... what are you doing?!"

Wu Muyang was also stunned for a moment, and then sighed helplessly.

How could the criminal police officer sent by the provincial department to Jiangcheng to investigate the case be a brainless person? This kid is in trouble.

Chen Yi said quietly: "I don't understand antiques, but I'm not blind. Keen observation is a must-have for a criminal police officer. Is there any difference between the two bowls? Do you think I can tell it?"

Qin Fei and Lin Chen understood within two seconds, and their faces suddenly turned ugly. They stood up and looked at the young man who was retreating. Their eyes were unkind and they might take out the handcuffs at any time.

It wasn't a scam before, but it is now.

Chen Yi remembered the story Wu Muyang just told. The top team wanted to defeat the merchants, but the young man in front of him wanted to defeat himself.

Is it because you played a trick on him and you feel dissatisfied? Also let yourself have a long memory?

"Xing... Detective?!" The young man was startled, "You... what do you mean by that? Boss Wu just identified it and found it to be genuine! What two bowls!"

Chen Yi pointed at the young man's waist: "If you don't have another bowl with you, I will eat all the pieces on the ground on the spot."

The young man's expression changed drastically.

Wu Muyang was even more helpless. Failure was the mother of success. It was normal to go back and forth in the antique world, but this time the price was probably a bit high and I didn't choose the right person.

Chen Yi waved: "Take it out."

The young man did not move.

Qin Fei and Lin Chen surrounded him.

"Brother!" The young man said softly, "Can you just pretend that I've never been here?"

Chen Yi asked back: "What do you think?"

Qin Fei stopped talking nonsense and forcibly controlled the young man, took out another bowl from him and placed it on the table.

Although this bowl is not big, it is still a bit difficult to hide on the body. This guy is very skilled.

Chen Yi put his eyes on Wu Muyang and said with a smile: "No matter how many stories you hear, it's not as good as experiencing it yourself."

Wu Muyang spread his hands: "This is Taihang Tower."

This matter has nothing to do with him. What was authenticated just now is indeed authentic, but the young man changed the package in a short period of time, and his skills were superb.

"Know?" Chen Yi asked.

Wu Muyang nodded: "Let's consider it acquaintance. There are not many familiar faces in Taihang Tower."

Being in the industry, of course he would not ruin his own job. It is other people's business to do what others do. He can just watch the excitement, otherwise he will not be able to get along.

Seeing Qin Fei take out the handcuffs, the young man panicked: "Boss Wu, this brother is your friend? Can you show your respect?"

Wu Muyang was silent.

Chen Yi: "For Mr. Wu's sake, when you turn yourself in, have a better attitude and give the necessary explanation. Qin Fei, take him to the branch."

Qin Fei: "Yes! Team Chen!"

Team Chen?

"Who are you?" The young man realized that he had met a big shot.

Chen Yi: "Last time there was a lot of noise in Jiangcheng's big case, have you forgotten?"

Of course the young man had an impression that at that time, almost all the police in the city came to the antique market to investigate the case. He was also questioned about whoever was arrested, and many people were so frightened that they did not dare to show their faces for a long time.

The news he heard: The provincial department sent a task force, and the leader seemed to be named Chen.

"You...you are..." The young man's eyes widened.

Chen Yi hummed.

The young man's expression was extremely exciting. He was the only one in Taixinglou who had committed suicide to this extent. He was a ruthless person who had investigated the case more than ten years ago.

Going out today... I obviously read the almanac, good luck!
