Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

As a famous gambling city, Las Vegas gathers a large number of wealthy people, and under such circumstances, it is natural that a large number of luxury stores will be opened here.

For example, jewelry brands such as Cartier, Tiffany, and Chaumet, as well as luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and Dior, are all available. In addition to specialty stores, each store also has shops in some hotels and shopping malls. .

In addition to these world-famous brands, there are also many small businesses that provide rare luxury goods to the rich and have also taken root in this city, such as catering, car decoration, personal belongings decoration and a series of other businesses related to the rich.

This harp antique shop is one of these small and micro businesses that provide services to the rich, and the Pierce family has been providing various antiques to each other since Pierce's father's generation, so the two parties have also established a relationship. friendship.

Because it is a high-end private store, the location of the store is naturally not on the street. The taxi passed through the busy Las Vegas Strip and then came to a small road with not many people.

This two-lane road, called Cactus Trail, is lined with shops that may not look big in size, but are quite distinctive in terms of decoration style.

The harp antique shop that Liang En and the others are looking for this time is on this slightly deserted street, and its appearance looks like an ancient Roman style.

After getting closer, Liang En discovered that the columns and sculptures were not made of cheap plaster or even fiberglass like the common shops with similar decorations, but were all carved from a delicate white marble.

"This marble sculpture costs thousands or even tens of thousands of pounds." Pierce said, looking at the one-to-one sculpture that imitated Venus de Milo, "but considering the identity of the customer, this kind of expenditure is obviously appropriate."

"It seems we are unlucky. The store is closed today." Just as Fan Meng walked to the door, he suddenly pointed at the closure sign hanging in the glass door and shook his head.

"Closed? That's impossible." After hearing what Fan Meng said, Pierce immediately walked to the door of the store and frowned as he stared at the sign. "I just contacted you when I got off the plane. If the business was really closed, you should have called me."

"Then there's a high probability that something happened here." Upon hearing what Pierce said, several other people immediately became nervous. Because now they have seen this situation many times in movies or TV, and it never resulted in a good outcome.

Knowing that standing at the door of the store at this time might lead to something worse, Liang En and the others quickly left the door of the store and Pierce called again to contact them.

"The phone call was connected, but no one answered." After making several calls, Pierce said to Liang En and the others. "When I called him at home, his wife said that Mr. Nel came over early in the morning——"

"Then call the police quickly." Looking at Pierce Liang En who was a little panicked, he immediately said. "Obviously, something happened to Mr. Nel."

"Yes, yes, I'll call now." Looking at Liang En, who looked calm, Pierce quickly recovered and dialed the police number.

I have to say that the Las Vegas police acted very quickly. Just three minutes later, a patrol car arrived, and then two police officers walked into the store with guns raised. Soon, an ambulance arrived and two people were taken out from the store on stretchers.

"The store was robbed. Uncle Nell was shot in the abdomen, and his clerk was shot in the chest. Both of them are now unconscious and have been sent to rescue."

Because he was the one who called the police, Pierce was quickly pulled in for questioning by the two policemen. Taking this opportunity, he also asked clearly what happened here.

"According to the police, this was a premeditated robbery, because nothing else in the room was touched. Only a hidden safe under the floor was opened, but the missing items may not be until Uncle Nell wakes up. We’ll find out later.”

"It seems that our luck is really bad this time." After hearing what Pierce said, Liang En shook his head. "It's surprising that such a thing can happen to anyone."

"Then what should we do next." Joan of Arc asked at this time, "Should we go back to the hotel now and wait for the people here to rescue us?"

"No, of course not. We can go to other warehouses during this period to take a look." Liang En shook his head gently, then opened a file on his phone and said. "I also did some homework before."

After a brief discussion, everyone agreed and then took a taxi to a warehousing company located on the outskirts of the city called the Gold Coast.

Unlike the long-dusted large warehouses that Liang En and the others had seen before, most of the local warehouses are mainly small and micro warehouses prepared for tourists.

It's like the Chinese custom of taking photos and checking in at many places with a group. Travel methods are different. People in Europe and the United States prefer to stay somewhere for a long time when on vacation and enjoy life slowly.

And this is the reason why Liang En and the others had kitchen utensils in the hotel rooms where they stayed before, because for those who go on vacation with their families, cooking by themselves is obviously much more economical than eating in restaurants.

Since those tourists will stay at the destination for a period of time, they often bring a large amount of belongings with them, and storing their belongings in a warehouse is obviously a good choice.

Because the customers are mainly tourists, many local warehousing companies do not accept long-term rentals, but short-term rentals of about one month.

For the same reason, the renewal retention period of local warehouses is not one month or even three months like the warehouses Liang En and the others visited before, but is often shortened to three days or even one week.

"There are a total of thirty-five warehouses being auctioned today, thirty of which are micro warehouses of less than twenty square meters, and the other five are small warehouses of forty or fifty square meters." Liang En said after taking a look at the announcement at the door of the warehouse.

"Almost all local warehouses are like this. After all, although people who come to travel will bring some things, they cannot bring too much. At least I have never seen travelers bring a truckload of things." Pierce shrugged.

"However, it is relatively difficult to find really old items in this kind of warehouse, so it is good to participate in auctions like this to pass the time."

After walking into the warehouse area, Liang En found that there were a lot of treasure pickers competing here. Except for some professionals, at least half of them should be tourists looking for excitement.

Since this storage company is mainly engaged in the business of temporarily storing luggage for tourists, it basically does not have too many valuable things, and it basically has little to do with the local outlaws.

Therefore, this warehouse company has naturally become a good place for many tourists to come to experience warehouse auctions. However, because of their existence, the professionals who come here to auction are basically novices with no money.

"Okay, the time is up, let's get started." Within a few minutes, an auctioneer and six security guards came over, and then announced the details of the auction to everyone.
