After coming out of Huabao Building, Fang Ming was not in a hurry to leave, but curiously browsed the items on the vendors' stalls.
Rusty copperware, brightly colored porcelain, bronze pieces, ancient coins, it can be said that anything that appeared in ancient times can be seen on this street.
Of course, it is different from the usual situation when vendors call for hawking. Although there are crowds of people here and there are many vendors, there is not much hawking. Many vendors just sit silently in front of their stalls. Even if someone comes up to check the things in front of their stalls, they will not do anything.
say.
The antique street is all about Taobao. The so-called Taobao depends on your eyesight, because 90% of the entire antique street are fakes or modern handicrafts.
Most of the people passing by were tourists, many of whom were just watching the fun, but those who really wanted to buy some good stuff were obvious to the vendors.
Many people watch TV or read in novels that the scenes of antique street vendors selling goods are false. In the antique street, vendors will only speak in one situation, and that is when someone asks for a price.
Asking for price means you are interested in this item.
Of course, there is nothing these vendors can do. In the past, they would indeed hawk the things on their stalls, but in the information age, many tricks about the Antique Street have become known to everyone, such as those who can just take a chamber pot and brag that they are the Empress Dowager Cixi.
The routines used are no longer useful.
Fang Ming's footsteps finally stopped in front of a stall selling ancient coins.
Squatting down, Fang Ming rummaged through these ancient coins with his fingers for a moment, and finally took out five ancient coins and put them aside, and asked, "How much do these five coins cost?"
The vendor was a middle-aged man. His mouth twitched when he saw the five ancient coins picked out by Fang Ming, because he knew his pile of hundreds of ancient coins very well. There were really no more than ten, and these ten
He still marked it.
But now, Fang Ming suddenly picked out five ancient coins, which made the middle-aged man feel a little depressed.
"My little brother seems to be an expert. He has good eyesight at a young age. This is the Little Five Emperors' Money. If it is a single piece, it is eight hundred each, and a set is five thousand."
People who are not familiar with antiques may think that the seller's accounting is confusing, but anyone who knows about antiques will know that there is a huge difference in value between incomplete and complete sets.
Just like an ancient purple sand tea set, if it is just a teapot, it may be worth 100,000, but if several tea cups are included in the set, the price will double.
What's more, a set of Five Emperors' Money has other functions!
If you sell a pair, don't sell a single. If you sell a pair, eat it several times. This is a popular jingle in the antique market.
"Can."
Fang Ming nodded, opened the cloth bag behind him, took out five thousand cash and gave it to the middle-aged man.
Many people will be confused. They say that vendors in the antique market charge exorbitant prices. Why is this vendor's price so fair?
In fact, to put it bluntly, it was because Fang Ming's previous action shocked the vendor that he was able to pick out five real coins from hundreds of fake coins. He must be an expert in ancient coins. There is no use in falsely reporting the price in front of an expert.
It's better to simply quote the market price and sell it.
After buying the Five Emperors' Money, Fang Ming also had a smile on his face. For others, buying the Five Emperors' Money might be for collecting ancient coins, but for him, the Five Emperors' Money had other uses.
"It seems that there are some good things in this antique market. You can browse more."
Fang Ming murmured in his heart, with a smile on his face. Although this was only the Small Five Emperors' money and not the Big Five Emperors' money, it was not an easy task to find a complete set of the Small Five Emperors' money.
"Stop, don't run!"
Just when Fang Ming was collecting the money from the Little Five Emperors, there was a shout from behind him. When he turned around, he saw a middle-aged man running in a panic with a little girl in his arms, followed by someone behind him.
Several policemen are chasing him.
"Human trafficker?"
Seeing this scene, this idea came to Fang Ming's mind immediately. At that moment, he stretched out his right foot and happened to trip on the middle-aged man's foot.
Due to inertia, the middle-aged man could not control himself and fell forward, and the little girl in his arms was thrown out. Seeing that the little girl was about to fall to the ground, a pair of thin hands pushed the little girl forward.
The girl hugged her.
The one who hugged the little girl was naturally Fang Ming, while the middle-aged man fell to the ground and was pinned to the ground by several police officers who followed him.
"Okay, it's okay."
Seeing the little girl's pale face, Fang Ming opened his mouth to comfort him. However, to his surprise, the little girl stared at him with angry eyes.
"You are a bad person, you bullied my father."
The little girl desperately tried to break free from Fang Ming's arms. Fang Ming had no choice but to put the little girl on the ground and watched the little girl run towards the middle-aged man who was caught by several policemen.
His brows furrowed.
Obviously, this was not the human trafficker incident he imagined. The little girl was the daughter of the middle-aged man. But he didn’t know why the police wanted to arrest him?
Thief, robbery?
Fang Ming shook his head and rejected this speculation. If it was a thief or robbery, it would be impossible to bring his daughter with him, so the most likely possibility is that he was a fugitive.
"Dad, dad, let go of my dad."
The little girl desperately tried to squeeze in to her father's side, but the police officers stopped her.
"My father doesn't know how to steal. He is not a thief. You have wronged my father."
"Little sister, our police will investigate whether your father has stolen anything. The police will not wrongly accuse good people. We are taking your father for investigation."
After listening to the policeman's words, Fang Ming's eyes fell on the middle-aged man, wearing a security uniform shirt, with a gray face and a panic look on his face.
"I didn't steal anything. I didn't steal the gold. Don't embarrass my daughter."
"Why are you running if you haven't stolen anything?"
A policeman snorted coldly, and his questioning made Yuan Minsheng speechless, because he knew that there was no way he could get rid of the suspicion in this matter, so he had no choice but to run away.
"Explain the matter clearly to our club. If you hand over the gold, your crime will be lighter."
Several policemen pressed Yuan Minsheng to leave. The little girl cried and refused to let go, but how could a child stop the policemen? Seeing that her father was about to be taken away, the little girl sat on the ground.
Crying like a tearful person.
Several police officers were also in trouble. Naturally, they couldn't do anything to the little girl, but they couldn't let the little girl stop them from handling the case.
"Little sister, please stop crying. Brother believes that your father was wrongly accused."
While these police officers were thinking about what to do, Fang Ming walked up to the little girl, touched her head and said.
"You bad guy, you are the one who killed my father."
When the little girl saw Fang Ming, she grabbed Fang Ming's extended hand with her little hand and bit it directly with her little mouth.
Fang Ming frowned, but did not throw away his hand. After the little girl let go, he smiled bitterly and said, "I believe that brother will definitely let your father come back."
The little girl's eyes red from crying looked at Fang Ming with suspicion. After hesitating for a moment, she finally stopped crying, but still turned her head and ignored Fang Ming's outstretched hand.
Seeing that the little girl stopped crying, Fang Ming smiled, looked at the policemen, and asked: "Comrade police, I am curious to ask what he committed?"
"The guard committed theft and stole Bao Yuxuan's gold jewelry." Knowing that it was Fang Ming who helped them catch Yuan Minsheng, the policemen's attitude towards Fang Ming was okay.
"Stealing gold jewelry?"
Fang Ming's eyes fell on Yuan Minsheng again. It seemed that Yuan Minsheng should be the security guard of Bao Yuxuan. However, a security guard had the opportunity to steal gold?
Moreover, anyone will think of their own escape route before stealing something. Whether it is to eliminate evidence or prepare to escape, they should not let their daughter appear next to them.
"Is there any evidence that he stole gold? It's probably not easy for a security guard to steal gold."
"He is the person responsible for guarding this batch of gold. Who else could be there besides him? If Boss Cai hadn't believed in him, how could he have stolen it?"
A policeman looked at Yuan Minsheng with a look of disgust, and from what the policeman said, Fang Ming got an idea of what was going on.
Yuan Minsheng is the security captain of Yubaoxuan, but he has been working in Yubaoxuan for more than ten years. It can be said that apart from the boss, he is the oldest person in Yubaoxuan.
Because he has been working for more than ten years, the boss of Yubaoxuan trusts him very much. Three months ago, Yubaoxuan purchased a batch of gold jewelry. This batch of gold jewelry is what Yubaoxuan plans to launch for sale during the anniversary celebration.
On weekdays, it is locked in the safe on the second floor of Yubaoxuan.
Yubaoxuan has four security guards, but only Yuan Minsheng can go to the second floor, and Yuan Minsheng also has the key to the room where the safe is kept, because Yubaoxuan collects the jewelry in the exhibition hall and puts it in this room every night
The manager and the security captain must be present at the same time to hand over the different safes inside.
The boss of Yubaoxuan went abroad for business some time ago and did not come back until today. However, when he opened the safe where the gold jewelry was stored, he found that the gold jewelry inside had disappeared.
Only the owner of Yubaoxuan has the key to the safe, but the owner and Yuan Minsheng each have one key to enter the room. Therefore, the biggest suspect is naturally Yuan Minsheng.
As for Yuan Minsheng not having the key to the safe but being able to steal gold jewelry, in the eyes of these police officers, it is easy to explain that Yuan Minsheng secretly saw the password that the boss entered when opening the safe, or that he cracked it.
The gold jewelry was stolen and Yuan Minsheng was suspected. When Boss Cai saw that Yuan Minsheng was unwilling to admit it, he directly chose to call the police. When the police arrived, Yuan Minsheng happened to run away with his daughter in his arms. This made the police feel that they were
Your guess is correct.
If he didn't have a guilty conscience, why would Yuan Minsheng run away?
After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Fang Ming pondered for a moment, and after a while he said firmly: "Although I don't know who the person who stole the gold jewelry is, what I can be sure of is that it is definitely not him."
