Chapter 928 Go back
Listening to Zhou Qing's analysis, Li Weidong pretended to be amazed, his eyes widened, his mouth slightly opened, and nodded from time to time.
This guy is still a master.
After Zhou Qing finished speaking, he immediately gave a thumbs up and said with admiration: "Oh, master, your eyesight is really great! I always thought that these are real treasures before, but after you said this, I completely understand.
Your ability must be top in this industry. I really admire you."
Zhou Qing's expression was slightly relieved by Li Weidong's praise, but he was still a little wary of this young man who suddenly appeared.
There is no way, who made him feel a ghost?
Seeing this, Li Weidong's eyes turned, took the opportunity to lower his voice, and said mysteriously: "Master, I'm going to tell you that there is actually a national treasure-level antique in my family. It's a serious good thing, passed down from my ancestors.
I originally wanted to sell it for some money, but I also inquired about it. If it was sold to a trust store, the price would probably be too low. I was really unwilling to give up."
When Zhou Qing heard the words "national treasure-level antique", a trace of undetectable light flashed in his eyes. He asked quietly: "Oh? national treasure-level antique? You can't say anything nonsense. Young man, what object are you talking about?"
Li Weidong smiled and deliberately kept it a secret. He looked around, as if he was afraid of being heard by others. Then he approached Zhou Qing and said softly: "Master, that is a three-color lady figurine from the Tang Dynasty. It is preserved so well, and the colors are still bright.
It is definitely a rare treasure. I heard that the price on the black market outside is so high, but I don’t know how to find a buyer at will, so I’ll come here to ask."
Zhou Qing's heart skipped a beat. The three-color ladies' figurines of the Tang Dynasty were priceless treasures.
If it is true as this young man said, it would be a big profit.
But he was afraid that there was something wrong with it, so he remained calm on his face and said slowly: "Young man, what you said is amazing, but you have nothing to say. Who knows whether it is true or false? If you really have this treasure, you might as well use it to let me see it."
Li Weidong was secretly happy. Knowing that Zhou Qing had taken the bait, he deliberately looked embarrassed and said, "Master, that thing is too expensive, how can I carry it with me casually? Am I here to talk to you first? If you are interested.
We can make an appointment with somewhere, I will take the things over, and you can take a look. If you think it is appropriate, then we will discuss the price again. What do you think?"
Zhou Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, weighed it in his heart, feeling that although this matter was somewhat suspicious.
But if there is such a treasure, it would be a pity if I missed it. So he nodded and said, "Okay, then let's make an appointment, but you have to make sure that the thing is real. If you dare to fool me with fakes, hum, don't blame me for being rude then."
Li Weidong quickly responded: "Master, don't worry, how dare I! Then let's make an appointment with the abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. It's relatively remote and no one disturbs you, so that we can check the goods and negotiate prices. Do you think it's done?"
The two of them pulled out for a while. Zhou Qing thought about it and thought that the place was quite suitable. He responded: "Well, that's it. We will meet in an abandoned factory in the suburbs of the city at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Don't let me go."
"How can it be? Master, I will definitely arrive on time." Li Weidong responded, but thought to himself that he had caught Zhou Qing and was waiting to close the net.
Li Weidong left the trust store quietly, seemingly walking slowly, but in fact he was always alert.
Before he walked far, he vaguely noticed something strange behind him, as if his eyes were staring at him.
He pretended to be careless and took advantage of the reflection of the glass on the windows of the shop next to the road and glanced back quietly. Sure enough, a young man was following him sneakily, not far behind him. He looked like he was deliberately keeping a distance and not wanting to be discovered.
Li Weidong immediately understood in his heart that it must have been sent by Zhou Qing to follow him, trying to figure out what he was from, whether he really had the so-called "national treasure-level antique" or had ulterior motives.
However, he did not make any statement, nor did he make any move that would alarm the young man, and continued to move forward calmly at his usual pace.
Just kidding, Li Weidong is not an ordinary person either.
As we walked, we came to an old palace. This old palace has long lost its glory as before and has become a large courtyard with many families. It is full of fireworks of life everywhere, but it cannot hide the mottled traces left by time.
Li Weidong walked straight in as if he was familiar with the road, and soon disappeared into the complex courtyard. Finally, he entered a wing room and closed the door, as if he was as comfortable as returning to his own home.
When the young man who was following him saw Li Weidong entering the wing room, he did not dare to follow him rashly. He quietly came to the front yard and looked around, thinking that he had to find someone to inquire about Li Weidong's situation.
It happened that when I saw a middle-aged resident sweeping the floor, I leaned over, smiled on my face, and asked politely: "Uncle, ask you about someone, do you know the person who just entered that wing room?"
The middle-aged resident who swept the floor was disguised in advance and was waiting here for a long time. Chief Li put down his broom, pretended to be kind-hearted, looked at the young man, and said, "Oh, you say he, then I'm so familiar with him. His ancestors used to be the housekeeper of this royal mansion. I heard from the older generation that when something happened in the royal mansion, his ancestors secretly hid a lot of good things, which were all valuable things."
When the young man heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He felt that he had dug up some important clues. He hurriedly asked, "Really? That's amazing. Then how can he live now?"
Section Chief Li sighed intentionally, shook his head, and said, "Oh, this kid is ignorant and has no serious skills. He has relied on the good things left by his ancestors over the years to sell some money to live. He is idle all day long and has no real status."
After hearing this, the young man was secretly happy, thinking that he had figured out Li Weidong's background. It seemed that the "national treasure-level antique" he was talking about was really real. He had to report to Zhou Qing when he returned. After thanking Section Chief Li, he hurriedly left the slum and couldn't wait to rush back, wanting to tell Zhou Qing the news as soon as possible.
Section Chief Li looked at the young man's leaving back, his lips raised slightly, showing an undetectable smile, thinking in his heart, hum, he took the bait
The young man trotted back to the trust store, with fine sweat beads emerging from his forehead. He was thinking about this in his heart. As soon as he entered the store, he quickly restrained his hurried appearance, pretending to be an ordinary customer, pretending to be watching the goods casually in the store, but his eyes occasionally glanced towards the direction where Zhou Qing was.
Seeing a space where no one noticed, Zhang Sanmao winked at Zhou Qing, then slowly walked behind a shelf filled with various small ornaments. Zhou Qing understood and followed without hesitation.
When he arrived behind the shelves, Zhang Sanmao lowered his voice and said to Zhou Qing excitedly: "Master Zhou, I have found out clearly. That boy is called Li Weidong. His ancestors used to be the housekeeper of the royal palace. I heard that when something happened in the royal palace, his ancestors secretly hid a lot of good things. This boy has no serious skills now, so he just relied on selling those things to live. It seems that the national treasure-level antique he mentioned is really real."
After hearing this, Zhou Qing frowned and did not show a surprise look as Zhang Sanmao expected. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and slowly said: "Hmph, you guy, you are so angry, just like the wind and rain. What can you prove with just a little news? What if this is a situation that someone deliberately sets up and leads us to the trap?"
When Zhang Sanmao heard this, he felt a little dissatisfied and muttered, "Master Zhou, I think this matter is quite reliable. The people in the squatter said it with a nose and eyes, but it doesn't seem to be fake."
Zhou Qing glared at him and said angrily: "Reliable? What do you know! You can't be careless about this matter. If something goes wrong, we have to fall into it. So, go back and knock on Li Weidong's door to see if he is still in the house. If he is there, you can find a way to find out the truth and reality. Don't let people discover it. Do you understand?"
When Zhang Sanmao heard this, he was reluctant and thought that Zhou Qing was too cautious. This was an unnecessary move, but he didn't dare to refute it. He could only respond: "I know, Master Zhou, I'll go now."
Looking at Zhang Sanmao's unwilling look, Zhou Qing was furious and cursed in a low voice: "You little bastard, you are still slow to do something, and you are quarrel. I am for our own good. If you dare to make trouble for me, see how I deal with you!"
Zhang Sanmao was so scared that he shrank his neck when he was scolded by Zhou Qing. He didn't dare to say more. He turned around in shame and ran towards the old palace. While running, he complained in his heart that Zhou Qing was too careful, but he didn't dare to disobey the order. He just hoped that he could complete the task smoothly this time so that he could go back and hand in the work, so that he would avoid being scolded again.
After seeing Zhang Sanmao leaving from the window of the wing room, Section Chief Li turned around and said to Li Weidong: "Xiao Li, that kid has left. I think you have been struggling for a long time and are very tired. Why don't you go back and rest quickly? Today, this matter is going very smoothly. I guess that Zhou Qing should have taken the bait."
Li Weidong shook his head slightly and said with a serious look: "Secretary Li, this Zhou Qing is not an ordinary character. He is an old fox. I think he must have a backup plan. I can't take it lightly yet. I have to wait here. If he comes up with any other tricks, we can deal with it in advance."
After hearing Li Weidong's words, Section Chief Li secretly felt that Li Weidong was a little too timid. This had already deceived the other party and was so cautious. However, he didn't say anything more. After all, Li Weidong has always been cautious in his work, and maybe he really made sense. So Section Chief Li responded, turned around and walked out of the wing room, returned to the front yard, and continued to pretend to be the middle-aged resident who swept the floor, while slowly sweeping the floor, while paying attention to the movements around him.
Not long after, Zhang Sanmao ran back panting again. He stopped at the gate of the yard, looked into the yard with his head and mind, then walked in carefully and walked towards the wing where Li Weidong was.
Section Chief Li looked at it, and couldn't help but admire Li Weidonglai in his heart, thinking, Xiao Li is really good at predicting things. As expected, Zhou Qing is not that easy to fool this time, and he really sent this kid back. It seems that the subsequent actions need to be more careful, so that guy Zhou Qing cannot detect any flaws, which will ruin our arrest plan.
In the wing room, Li Weidong actually saw Zhang Sanmao coming back through the gap in the window. The corner of his mouth raised slightly, thinking to himself, Humph, Zhou Qing is indeed cautious this time, but no matter how careful you are, you can't escape our palms. Today I will fight with you to see who is better.
Zhang Sanmao jogged all the way, thinking about how to talk to Li Weidong a while, and how to find out the truth and reality without being discovered. He didn't even notice that the surroundings had already set up a plan waiting for him.
He came to the door of the wing room, stopped, calmed down his breath slightly, then reached out and knocked on the door gently, while knocking with his ears and listening to the movements in the room.
Li Weidong in the room was ready. After hearing the knock on the door, he deliberately paused for a few seconds before he got up staggeringly, walked to the door staggeringly, reached out to open the door.
I saw that his hair was messy and his eyes were a little blurred. The strong smell of alcohol on his body instantly drifted out, which made Zhang Sanmao frown.
Li Weidong narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhang Sanmao for a moment, then shouted, and cursed at Zhang Sanmao with a mouth full of alcohol: "What are you knocking? It's not easy to stop in broad daylight. I'm just drinking happily. Who are you? Come here to disturb me, aren't you happy?"
Zhang Sanmao was stunned by this sudden scolding. He was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said with a smile: "Brother, I'm sorry, I... I just passed by. I heard from the people in the courtyard that you have good things here. I'm not thinking about it and come and take a look. If it's appropriate, I want to take some more. Don't be angry."
Li Weidong refused to let go, leaned forward, pointed at Zhang Sanmao's nose, and continued to curse: "What are you looking at! There are no good things, I have sold them almost all, and only some worthless things are left. Get away quickly and don't get in the way here, otherwise I will be rude to you!"
When Zhang Sanmao heard this, he felt relieved.
