"I didn't expect that a fossil pterosaur elf egg fossil would appear in Jiangzhou, and it was also stolen at an auction..."
Jiang Xiaobei looked at the newspaper in his hand and said to himself.
Hearing this, Han Xiaoya was slightly stunned.
Fossil pterosaur, elf egg fossil?
Could this be referring to the egg-shaped fossil she pawned at the pawn shop yesterday?
"Brother Xiao Bei, can you let me take a look?"
Han Xiaoya said timidly.
"promise!"
Jiang Xiaobei stood up and handed the newspaper to Han Xiaoya.
After taking a serious look at the photos in the newspaper, Han Xiaoya couldn't help but have a surprised expression on her face.
This was indeed the fossil she sold at the pawn shop.
But how could the report say it be the elf egg fossil of a fossilized pterosaur?!
Although it does have the appearance of an elf egg, its interior is clearly...
It's clearly...
Jiang Xiaobei also noticed Han Xiaoya's abnormality and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"
At that moment, Han Xiaoya also told Jiang Xiaobei the whole story.
When he heard that the fossil came from Han Xiaoya's hands, Jiang Xiaobei suddenly felt like he had missed hundreds of millions.
And when he heard that the appraisal sheet mentioned by Han Xiaoya had been appraised by a specialized person and it was just a feces fossil that looked like an elf egg, the expression on Jiang Xiaobei's face became a little shocked.
So this is someone from the pawn shop, did they make a mistake?!
He mistook the feces fossil as an elf egg fossil and brought it to auction, only to have it stolen?!
"Xiaoya, are you sure this is just a feces fossil that looks like an elf egg?" Jiang Xiaobei asked.
No matter how bad the people at the pawn shop are in their vision, if it goes to auction, there will definitely be experts responsible for identification. If it is really just fecal fossils, it is absolutely impossible to put it up for auction.
Jiang Xiaobei's eyes narrowed slightly. Could it be that this so-called theft was actually a self-inflicted theft, just to avoid an own mistake?!
"Yeah!" Han Xiaoya nodded seriously.
"This fossil was brought back from the Zhongzhou ore area by my father when I was a child."
"In addition to being rich in various ores, the mining area also occasionally finds some fossils left over from ancient times. I heard from my dad that some people have also dug up rare ancient Pokémon fossils. However, according to regulations, all fossils dug in the mining area
Everything must be handed over and must not be kept privately. Otherwise, once discovered, the consequences will be quite serious."
"Abba took the initiative to hand over this fossil that looked like an elf egg after digging it up, hoping to get some rewards."
"But unfortunately, after expert appraisal, it was just a feces fossil that looked like an elf egg, and it was not of particularly great value, so my dad was not able to get the reward as expected, but he did get the ownership of the fossil and returned it.
There is a certificate of identification as an encouragement for him to proactively hand over the fossils."
"So, this is definitely a feces fossil, and it can't be wrong."
"Otherwise, how could they let Abba take it out of the ore area?!"
Speaking of this, the expression on Han Xiaoya's face couldn't help but become a little complicated. She didn't have any good impressions of those people in the ore area. If it weren't for their oppression, her father would not have fallen under the mine tunnel. There would be no more
Woke up.
This was the first time Jiang Xiaobei heard Han Xiaoya say so many words. Judging from her strong emotional changes, Jiang Xiaobei also discovered that this fossil should mean much more to her than its own value.
If she hadn't been forced to do so, even if it had no value at all, she probably wouldn't have pawned it.
After all, this should be something full of memories for her!
Jiang Xiaobei did not dwell too much on this issue and changed the topic to a relatively relaxed topic to divert Han Xiaoya's attention.
…
Jiangzhou, a pawn shop.
"Lao He, you are trying to kill me!"
A middle-aged man wearing a single-sided glasses and dressed in a slightly antique style slapped the table with an angry look on his face.
"Lao Yang, don't be so angry! Let's have a cup of tea to calm down the anger." A tall and thin man made a cup of tea and handed it to the middle-aged man, and then said slowly.
"You asked me to help you with the fraud, and now you have made such a big noise. I wish the whole world would know that your pawn shop has a fossil pterosaur elf egg. If the people at the auction house finally know the truth, you
How can you keep me going!" Lao Yang did not take the tea cup, but became more excited and angrier as he spoke.
"Hey!" Lao He sighed, put down the tea cup, and said with a bitter look on his face: "Lao Yang, you said we have been friends for so many years, how could I harm you!"
"That's not true. I'm so angry!"
"I thought I was getting a big deal by spending 20,000 yuan, but who knew I was actually spending money on shit!"
"If you don't help me, I will lose a lot of money!"
The tall and thin man, Lao He, the owner of this pawn shop, quietly opened a piece of red cloth in front of him, looked at the elf egg fossil in front of him that was said to be 'stolen', and couldn't help but curled his lips,
Then he continued.
"If this thing is sold openly, then if the final buyer pursues it, neither you nor I will be able to escape!"
"But if you take this thing to the black market, with its appearance that looks like an elf egg, and the overwhelming media reports in the past two days, it will not be easy to find a buyer."
"When the time comes, once you sell your hands or take the money, it will have nothing to do with us. We only need to share the money and don't need to bear any responsibility. Isn't this the best of both worlds?!"
"You are happy, and so am I!"
After hearing this, Mr. Yang, the appraiser, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
How could he really be worried that the auction house would cause trouble for him? He just came here today to make a sidestep and remind this guy not to forget the benefits promised to him.
"Sure! Leave this matter to me!" He said in a deep voice after pretending to think, and then changed the topic, "About this division..."
"Let's give it fifty-fifty!" The pawn shop boss He made a decisive decision, and he was not stingy at the critical moment.
Although the idea was his and the items were his, without Lao Yang's help, this would have been just a piece of dung collecting dust in the warehouse, without the slightest use.
Now, if he could get and sell the fossilized pterosaur elf egg fossils on the black market as he expected, it would be a huge sum of money. Even if it was split 50-50, it would still be a huge sum of money.
Moreover, if anything happens, he will have someone who can take the blame.
After all, he is not a professional appraiser.
However, the moment he finished speaking, a black shadow passed by silently.
The fossil placed in front of the two people suddenly disappeared.
