The coffee shop on Wenhua Street is not that big. As soon as Li Mo walked in, he smelled a strong aroma of coffee and bread. No wonder the attendance rate inside was quite high, and the good seats by the windows had already been taken.

Li Mo had no choice but to sit down in a remote corner. Although he ate a donkey meat fire before, he couldn't help but order three small portions smelling the smell of freshly baked bread.

Chen Xiaojun and Brown Bear walked into the coffee shop, told Li Mo to stand up, waved to them and walked over immediately.

"What about the rough emerald stone and the boxwood carving?"

"The rough stone weighed more than 30 kilograms, and I put it back in the car together with the wood carving. Little uncle, how is the quality of the emerald?"

"It's almost at the level of glutinous ice seeds. After you bring it back to Kyoto, ask the master to explain the stone. It can be sold for a million or so. If you don't lack money, you can keep it as a collection. It will increase in value in the future. You can sell it or make it yourself. Making jewelry. The woodcarving is made of boxwood, which has a history of more than 200 years. You can keep it for your own collection. It’s not expensive, at most about 100,000.”

Li Mo ate the delicious baked bread, and then asked, "Did you really hear the conversation between the father and son?"

"I heard it really well."

"The bronze dagger I found in the shop is from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, and there are two large seal inscriptions 'Feng Yi' on it. What does this mean? The inscription. The bronze dagger was also unearthed not long ago. Two authentic bronzes appeared in a small county in a row. May have been stolen.

Li Mo's tone was serious.

"Uncle, what shall we do now?"

Li Mo thought for a while and said: "I don't have a clue about this matter, and the handling of the police is likely to make a scene known to everyone. If the clues are not found by then, they will startle the snake. First, you should immediately send someone over to monitor the antique shop in an all-round way. Then track down the boss’s son and try to catch his tail. Second, prepare a set of equipment for going to the countryside to buy second-hand goods, I will use it tomorrow. Both things are very urgent, you should do it immediately.”

"Okay, then let's retreat first."

The next day, a 60% new electric tricycle was driving on a bumpy country road. Fortunately, it was sunny and rainy, and it was estimated that such a dirt road would be impossible to walk on.

Li Mo was wearing an old black shirt and trousers, and an old-fashioned straw hat. There were already two old TVs, some cardboard, and discarded aluminum strips on the tricycle.

The village in front is called Sujia Village. A few decades ago, the two big families, Sujia and Jiajia, mainly lived there. As a large number of people moved into the city, the village here became more and more deserted. Even because there are no exploitable resources here, the people left here can only live on a few acres of land.

When the car was about to approach Sujia Village, Li Mo turned on the pre-recorded horn.

"Collect old electrical appliances, old mobile phones, old shoes, old clothes, etc."

"Collect old electrical appliances, old mobile phones, old shoes, old clothes, etc."

. . . . . .

Li Mo steadily drove his tricycle into Sujia Village. There are about fifty households in the village, but more than ten houses have been dilapidated, and they must be uninhabitable.

"Auntie, do you have any second-hand goods at home that you want to sell?"

Li Mo parked his car on the side of the road, and an old woman in her 60s and 70s happened to pass by with a small bucket containing some vegetables.

"No."

The old woman waved her hand.

"Auntie, where is your home? I'll take you for a ride."

This is a good thing, the old woman quickly laughed. She conveniently put the keg on the tricycle, and then slowly sat on the side of the car.

Li Mo drove the tricycle slowly: "Auntie, show me the way."

"Just drive straight ahead."

Soon they arrived in front of a three-room tile-roofed house, and the old woman got out of the car and said with a smile, "Thank you."

"Auntie, is there a new pig farm over there?" Li Mo pointed curiously at the rows of unfinished buildings near the village, where more than a dozen people were walking around.

"Yes, last year the owner of a large pig raising company took a fancy to that piece of wasteland and said that it would be a waste to leave it unused, so he signed a contract with the town to contract that piece of wasteland. Not only did he pay us the contract fee every year, He also promised that when the pig farm opens, some old people in the village will go to help out, do what they can, and get some living expenses. Boss, you go to the construction site to see, there may be some scrap copper and iron. To sell."

The old woman pointed enthusiastically.

"Okay, I'll go over and see what's going on."

Li Mo started the tricycle and drove towards the construction site of the pig farm outside the village, and the advertisements for collecting second-hand goods were constantly repeated on the loudspeaker. His arrival has long attracted the attention of those on the construction site. Before he got close, a black-faced and burly man in his thirties came up to him and stretched out his hand to stop him, signaling not to get close.

From that person, Li Mo's brows suddenly jumped, as if facing an extremely dangerous beast. The man in front of him is terrifying and dangerous, and he should have had human life on his hands. Although part of his face was covered by wearing a nondescript bonnet, he couldn't escape Li Mo's eyes.

Li Mo turned off the loudspeaker and shouted: "Boss, is there any scrap copper and iron for sale at the construction site?"

"No, this is a private construction site, outsiders are not allowed to approach, hurry up."

Not only did Li Mofei not leave immediately, but he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket next, took out a cigarette and handed it over, nodded and bowed and said: "The boss is making a fortune, you smoke. I will leave a number for you. If there is any waste that needs to be disposed of If so, please contact me."

"I don't smoke, and I don't have waste products to sell. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude."

The black-faced burly man turned around and left after speaking, so Li Mo had no choice but to take back his cigarette. This pig farm has already built a half-circle fence with a height of one person, and some big red characters are painted on the outside of the wall, which reads the construction site of a certain pig farm project.

More than a dozen workers are still building the wall. Construction has started on more than a dozen pigpens on the construction site, but only four have been completed.

Li Mo looked at the surrounding environment, his different pupils suddenly opened, and his perspective eyes looked directly at the four completed pigpens. Three of the pigpens are empty, and there are only one pigsty where there are people. To be precise, there are two people hidden. Although they are wearing workers' clothes, they also have two extra things on their bodies, one is a dagger, and it is stuck in the waist. on the belt of the trousers.

The other is a thick-backed machete with the length of an adult's arm. The machete is hidden in the tool box at the foot.

This is very abnormal, obviously there is a big problem. Li Mo remembered the appearance of the two of them in his mind, and then looked at the ground. Because there was a hole in the ground of the completed pigsty, and a thick hemp rope was hanging down.

Those two were guarding the entrance of the cave.

When Li Mo's perspective was about to look down the hole, he suddenly felt a very unfriendly gaze on him.

"Why don't you go, get out of here."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Li Mo had no choice but to look away, and drove back the same way. These people are very vigilant, and they just hesitated for more than ten seconds before the other party had malicious thoughts towards them.

It's better to leave first, so as not to make them suspicious.

The tricycle circled around the village before leaving. Just as he left, a man in his twenties looked at Li Mo's leaving back and took out his mobile phone and made a call.

"Everything is normal, just a second-hand collector."
