The coverage of door theft is also relatively broad.
Just like the green forest heroes in Wuthering Mountains in the past belonged to the bandit family, so did the gangsters who made their home all over the world.
The gold captain who traveled through mountains and ridges and fought his way down to the tomb was also a thief.
I don't know what kind of business Zhong Ruiti, the old prodigal, is doing in the robbery.
Zhong Rui continued:
"This old prodigal has a prominent reputation in the robber sect and is known as 'the best master outside the robber sect'. It is said that this person knows geography and can observe the sky. According to the sun, moon and stars, he can determine the location of the tomb with the compass in his hand. These
Most of the tombs outside the Guan Pass were stolen in 2010, mostly by his hands..."
I sounded confused. I really couldn't figure out what kind of trouble such a tomb robber would bring to Gao Wenliang of the pawn shop.
"Then why is he not outside the pass and coming to Bashu?"
Lao Hei was fascinated by what he heard and couldn't help but ask.
Zhong Rui's expression immediately relaxed, and she explained pleasantly:
"I heard that one of his apprentices was caught in an accident. He was afraid of being implicated, so he came to Bashu to hide for a while. The reason why he was called the old prodigal was because he was addicted to gambling. It is said that he played a lot
Big. It is common to lose more than one million. On two occasions, the money lost was more than ten million. Sometimes when I had no money, I would mortgage the stolen cultural relics on the spot. The mortgage price was less than one or two times the value of the original...
…”
I took a sip of tea and thought to myself.
The name "Old Prodigal" is quite appropriate.
"Then what is his relationship with Gao Wenliang?"
Putting down the tea cup, I asked.
"The old prodigal came to Bashu from outside the customs and didn't bring much money with him. Then he found Gao Wenliang of Qiankun Shengshi Pawn Shop and mortgaged the few cultural relics he brought with him to Gao Wenliang for a price of 30 million. Gao Wenliang
Although he has always been in the pawn business, how could he come up with such a large sum of money? But he was greedy for the high interest rate, and thought that if the old prodigal did not come to redeem these antiques, then Gao Wenliang would make a fortune.
So Gao Wenliang borrowed money here and there and looked for underground banks to get enough of the 30 million..."
Zhong Rui said and couldn't help but sneered.
"But he never expected that these antiques would all be fakes!"
Fake?
The three of us all stared with eyes wide open in disbelief.
Mr. Hong even asked directly:
"At first glance, I saw that Gao Wenliang is a monkey spirit, and he is engaged in the antique pawn business. How could he be mistaken?"
Zhong Rui shook his head and explained:
"The strange thing is that he is too greedy. Originally, Gao Wenliang had close contacts with the people who stole the house. He thought that the old prodigal's things came from the pit, and they must be true. But he did not expect that the old prodigal's things were all true.
In addition to being a master of burglary, he is also a master of fraud. The things he makes can be fake and real! Now he is at the end of his rope and there is nothing he can do. Even if he goes to the old prodigal, the old prodigal will not admit it..."
Zhong Rui said, looked up at me and said:
"On the sixth day of the lunar month, I know where the old prodigal is and where he always goes to play. Tell me, if we use your skills to help Gao Wenliang solve this problem, will he agree to our redemption of the painting?
Coming?"
I thought about it seriously and said again:
"But the value of that painting can completely make up for his loss this time. Do you think he will agree?"
Zhong Rui immediately shook his head.
"No, the money he borrowed was all at high interest rates. The loss of interest alone is enough for him to drink a pot. At the same time, there is another problem here. Once the news about his high profile is spread, the face will be lost. In the future,
The road will become increasingly difficult!"
What Zhong Rui said makes sense.
"Okay, then let's talk to Gao Wenliang again!"
When he saw Gao Wenliang again, he was still drinking tea and sighing in the pawn shop.
Seeing us entering, Gao Wenliang immediately frowned and said dissatisfied:
"You guys, why are you here again?"
This time, I wasn't as polite as before.
Instead, he sat directly on the chair opposite him.
He lit a cigarette and looked at Gao Wenliang, who looked dissatisfied, and said:
"Boss Gao, I am looking for you this time to discuss cooperation with you!"
"Cooperation? What cooperation do I have with you?"
I glanced at Zhong Rui.
Zhong Rui then told the story about Gao Wenliang and the old prodigal again.
When she finished speaking, Gao Wenliang looked confused and asked:
"How do you know this?"
Actually, I'm a little strange too.
Zhong Rui looked like a woman in the workplace.
But he knows the business of the world very well.
Seeing that Zhong Rui didn't speak, I followed up and said:
"Boss Gao, I can think of a way to help you solve the problem of the old prodigal family. If it succeeds, you let me redeem our things. Of course, I will give you a lot of interest. If it doesn't succeed, it will not be good for you.
Just maintain the status quo, nothing to lose!"
For Gao Wenliang, this deal was all about profit and no loss, so he had no reason not to agree.
Sure enough, he who looked dissatisfied just now was now full of smiles.
He poured me tea himself and then said:
"Brother, if you can really accomplish this, please give me the original gift and the interest will be waived!"
I smiled lightly, nodded and said:
"Okay! It's settled then!"
After talking to Gao Wenliang, a group of us went directly out of the pawn shop.
Before we got on the bus, Zhong Rui introduced us:
"This old prodigal is in Jianfu now. It is more than 60 kilometers away from Chengdu. Let's get ready. We will leave for Jianfu tomorrow. This old prodigal either goes to salsa dancing or hangs out in a small casino every day. I want to find him.
, it’s not difficult at all!”
I nodded.
When I got back to the hotel, I simply packed up.
Just as I was about to rest for a while, my phone suddenly rang.
When I picked it up and took a look, my heart couldn't help but feel suspended.
I never expected that Qi Lan would call me.
Previously in Habei, Qi Lan saw his younger brother dead and his father disabled.
And all of this has to do with me.
After that goodbye, I thought we would become strangers and have no contact with each other again.
