Cheng Ye watched Liu Chengde and his son leave and sneered disdainfully: "People like them deserve what they get, and they want to trick others."
Master Gu on the side patted Cheng Ye: "If it hadn't been for Zichen this time, the two of us would have been fooled."
As soon as Master Gu said this, Cheng Ye felt a little embarrassed and said awkwardly: "We didn't pay attention, so we must be more careful next time."
Zhou Zichen also said: "Liu Chengde took advantage of people's hearts. In fact, although the counterfeiting technology is superb, in the eyes of Brother Cheng and Master Gu, you can still see it if you look carefully."
Master Gu gave a wry smile and said with some self-blame: "This is the principle. If you have good eyesight, but your heart is not careful enough, it is easy to make mistakes. What happened today was indeed my carelessness."
Zhou Zichen consoled him: "Master Gu, you don't have to blame yourself. Didn't Brother Cheng get his eyes opened too? Just be careful in the future."
"That's right, Master Gu, we'd better go up and have tea. Business in the antique city is good these days, and a lot of antiques are sold. We can't always rely on Mr. Guan's collection. Most of his collections are high-quality products. We still have to find a way.
We need to find a long-term purchase channel!" Cheng Ye had already started thinking about this matter.
The old man has a large collection, but if he keeps selling in large quantities, he will be resting on his laurels. The antique city must find a suitable purchasing channel as soon as possible.
Zhou Zichen was also a little curious. Antique stores require few goods, and most of them have a few fixed suppliers. They also have to collect the goods from the market, or go to the countryside to collect the goods themselves. There may be something that looks ordinary in the countryside.
It was collected for three to five hundred yuan, and when it was resold, it would be bought for thirty to fifty thousand, or even one hundred thousand.
However, the quantity of antiques required by the Antique City is relatively large, and ordinary purchase channels cannot satisfy it at all, and the quality may not be guaranteed. If you just wait for others to come to sell you every day, it is even more impossible to maintain operations. After all, you can receive valuable things every day.
not much.
The three of them chatted until the antique mall closed, then had a meal together and went home.
When Zhou Zichen returned to the detective agency, the door of the detective agency had been closed, so he had to go upstairs from the back.
Wang Ziqi has not gone to bed yet and is sorting out information. These days, the detective agency has gradually got on the right track. Basically, Wang Ziqi does not need to stay up too late. With Wang Ziqi's ability, normal working hours can fully cope with these daily things, rarely
I saw her working overtime again.
"Why are you still working?" Zhou Zichen walked to Wang Ziqi and saw that there was no one in Wang Ziqi's cup. He picked up the cup and filled her with a cup of hot water.
While sorting out the information, Wang Ziqi said: "This is the information that was sent back in the afternoon. I have to sort it out to avoid any problems."
"What kind of case makes you so anxious that you rush to sort it out tonight?" Zhou Zichen is very aware of Wang Ziqi's ability. Wang Ziqi can completely handle such a matter tomorrow morning and sort it out.
Except for relatively large cases, Wang Ziqi himself has no time to deal with the information, and there are dedicated people sorting it out.
Zhou Zichen handed the cup to Wang Ziqi: "Would you like some boiled water first?"
Wang Ziqi took the cup from Zhou Zichen's hand: "Besides your matters, what else can make me so anxious? How are you going to thank me?"
The corners of Zhou Zichen's eyes twitched slightly, as if he thought of something. Wang Ziqi had been checking something for him, could he have some clues?
"Is there any result?"
Wang Ziqi shook his head: "We just have some clues. It's still too early to get the results."
Wang Ziqi took a sip of boiling water and pulled out a piece of paper from some information. There was only one pattern printed on the paper. It was the pattern of those brands that Zhou Zichen had seen. Yang Donglin had a bronze medal with this pattern in his hand.
.
Wang Ziqi pointed to the piece of paper and said: "It's not clear what the relationship between this brand and the Zhou family is, but we got some clues. This kind of brand is similar to the status symbol of an organization. What exactly is it?
Forget it, we don’t know either, and as for how many brands there are, we don’t know yet.”
"Then... what about the Zhou family?" Zhou Zichen was very curious about this brand, and the reason was also because of the Zhou family. What Zhou Zichen wanted to know was the Zhou family's affairs.
Wang Ziqi was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "There are no clues. If we calculate it, the Zhou family was still a very prosperous family in the last century, that is, two thousand years ago. Later, I don't know why, but it suddenly fell apart. Just because their family
The collapse of the government has also made our provincial leaders miserable, because they directly or indirectly provided hundreds of thousands of jobs, so the sudden increase of so many unemployed people is indeed enough to keep them busy."
Zhou Zichen knew very well the weight of Wang Ziqi's words. If it was really like what Wang Ziqi said, then the Zhou family should have been very powerful at that time.
However, the Zhou family has been around for more than ten years, and not many people know about it.
This is just like Jianlibao drink, which was very prosperous in the 1990s, but now, no one will remember it unless it is mentioned, let alone the company and founder behind it. Ordinary people care more about the product rather than the company, especially
It's the nineties.
"For such a big company, you can't find anything?" Zhou Zichen asked.
Logically speaking, ordinary people don't know these things, so some people should know them.
Wang Ziqi also found it strange: "While I was not investigating, many people didn't know about it, or maybe they were unwilling to disclose it. Anyway, we didn't get any information."
"The strangest thing is that the Zhou family used to be considered a big family, but when we went to investigate, we didn't find anyone from the Zhou family."
"As for the Zhou Yuelin you mentioned, we haven't found him either."
Zhou Zichen was confused, what role did Zhou Yuelin play in the Zhou family incident?
Another point is that what the dean and grandma relayed was that she should get back everything that belongs to her. Now that the Zhou family is gone, what else can she get back?
However, Zhou Zichen didn't care much about getting something back, because he had never had it all, and even if he needed something, he could work hard on his own.
But Zhou Zichen cares about his life experience. Although he has never met his parents, Zhou Zichen still wants to see his parents. Why did he send himself to the orphanage back then?
Zhou Zichen wanted to know the truth of all this, otherwise Zhou Zichen would not have let Wang Ziqi investigate this matter.
Wang Ziqi took the water glass and saw what Zhou Zichen was thinking about. She joked: "Are you disappointed? It doesn't matter. My sister is here to comfort you and give you a hug!"
Wang Ziqi said, opening her hands and coming over to hug Zhou Zichen.
Zhou Zichen hurriedly avoided: "Don't come over here. I'm just curious as to why the Zhou family disappeared so cleanly. Logically speaking, such a large family had such great influence at the time. Even if it declined, there should still be people around.
Yes, why is no one missing?"
Wang Ziqi shrugged: "Who knows about this matter, but if you can hide the whole thing, it can only mean one problem. There is one or a group of very powerful people who don't want others to know about the Zhou family.
Otherwise, as you said, it would be impossible for such a large family to disappear so cleanly."
Zhou Zichen also felt that what Wang Ziqi said was reasonable. Could it be Zhou Yuelin? But Zhou Yuelin was from the Zhou family, and now he has disappeared together.
Seeing that Zhou Zichen was still thinking, Wang Ziqi put down the cup and said, "I have sorted out these information. Just take a look at it yourself when you have time. How about you go to a concert with me now?"
Zhou Zichen looked at the time. It was already a little after seven o'clock. At this time in winter, it was already dark outside: "It's so late, what kind of concert are you going to go to?"
Wang Ziqi rolled her eyes at Zhou Zichen: "Most concerts start at night, right?"
"No, I have no interest in that thing." Zhou Zichen is not that kind of elegant person. It's okay to ask him to go to KTV to sing a song or something, but asking him to go to a concert is really not what he likes.
"It's okay if you don't go. Last time you promised me in front of the dean's grandma that you would marry me!" At this point, Wang Ziqi winked at Zhou Zichen playfully: "How about... us..."
Wang Ziqi looked Zhou Zichen up and down: "It's not appropriate for you to go like this. Go and change your clothes."
"Change clothes?" Zhou Zichen is not very interested in things like concerts and doesn't understand them at all.
Wang Ziqi nodded solemnly, pulled Zhou Zichen towards the room, and gave Zhou Zichen some popular science: "Concerts mainly originated in the West. In the West, more serious concerts require people to wear formal clothes, otherwise you will not even
You can't even get in, but things have gotten better over the years. But here, we don't have so many things to pay attention to, but in order to show respect for the artist, we can't dress too casually, so you just need to wear a shirt and a suit, and I'll change too.
A slightly more formal dress."
Zhou Zichen originally thought it was just like a concert, but he didn't expect that a concert would be completely different from a concert.
Wang Ziqi chose a light blue shirt and a black casual suit for Zhou Zichen: "Just wear this, I'll go change!"
After Wang Ziqi finished speaking, she turned around and went out, going back to her room to change clothes.
Since he agreed to go, Zhou Zichen did not delay, quickly changed his clothes, and changed his casual shoes into leather shoes. He really looked like a successful man.
After getting dressed properly, Zhou Zichen looked at the time. It was already seven twenty. Since he was going, he couldn't be late. Seeing that Wang Ziqi hadn't come out yet, he was about to knock on the door, but found that Wang Ziqi's door was only ajar.
Thinking that Wang Ziqi had already changed her clothes, she pushed the door open and entered.
As soon as the door opened, he saw a perfect body wearing only underwear, with long hair draped over her shoulders. The moment he turned around, Zhou Zichen almost had a nosebleed: "Why don't you close the door?"
Wang Ziqi showed a proud smile: "Does it look good?"
"It looks good, but you're going to be late!" Zhou Zichen knew that Wang Ziqi had definitely left them out on purpose. This was Chi Guoguo's temptation.
