Xue Chen heard the noise in the lobby of the store at the door. When he walked in, he saw that in addition to Li Lingchun and the two waiters, there was also a man wearing a light brown jacket and trousers, holding a leather bag in his arms.

, with an angry look on his face.

"What are you doing, bullying people? If I say I didn't steal, I didn't steal. You are making false accusations! Don't stop me!"

"Ah, what right do you have to search my bag? This is illegal, do you know?"

"If you dare to touch me, I will call the police immediately, believe it or not!"

On the contrary, the expressions on the faces of this man, Li Lingchun and the two waiters were not very good. They looked helpless at this yelling and emotional man.

"Uncle Li, what happened?" Xue Chen walked up to him and asked Li Lingchun calmly.

"Hey, boss, you're here, this matter... ugh." Li Lingchun also looked like he had a headache, "It's like this..."

Through the words of Li Lingchun and the two waiters, Xue Chen roughly knew what happened. The red-faced and thick-necked strange man who was arguing was a customer who came to the door, not a big customer. He just wanted to see some general goods displayed in the lobby.

It doesn't take Li Lingchun to receive it in person, just two guys can do it.

One waiter went to serve tea, and another waiter walked around the lobby with him, taking a look at the hundreds of utensils displayed in the lobby. Most of them were imitations, and the prices were around one or two thousand. Of course,

There are also a few good ones worth tens of thousands of dollars.

While the waiter was accompanying him to select things, the customer suddenly complained that his foot hurt and said it felt like there were nails stuck in the ground. The accompanying waiter looked down and saw that there were no nails at all.

After this incident, the man brought up something that he was not optimistic about and planned to leave. But at this moment, the man serving tea discovered that a Hetian jade ring was missing from the grid of the wooden cabinet. Although it was an imitation of the mid-Qing Dynasty in the Republic of China

, but it’s also worth 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

The jade finger ring display was placed exactly where the man said the nail pierced his foot.

Everything became clear. The two guys were sure that the man was a thief and took the opportunity to take away the jade ring, which led to the current turmoil.

Of course, there is surveillance in the store, and Li Lingchun also watched it. When the man walked to the place where the jade thumb rings were displayed, the jade thumb rings were still there, but when the man turned around and walked away, the jade thumb rings on the wooden shelf were gone.

When the two clerks were telling what happened, the strange man rarely kept his mouth shut. Instead, he waited until everything was finished before he tilted his mouth and shouted: "You are talking nonsense, I didn't steal anything from your store."

Things, please get out of the way and don’t stop me!”

Xue Chen raised his head and glanced at this man. He was quite an ordinary man, he looked about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, but his face and his erratic eyes looked somewhat similar to many pickpockets he had seen.

Listening to the descriptions of the two guys, it seemed that this man had stolen the things. However, why did he feel that this matter was a bit baffling? Even if he came to steal things, he was too courageous. Did he really think that in broad daylight,

If you can take something away under the eyes of two waiters, then the two waiters won't have to eat this meal. Each of them will be killed by a piece of tofu.

This matter is really a tricky one. According to the law, except for law enforcement agencies, they really have no right to search others, but for him, this is not a big deal at all.

He waved his hand to stop the two waiters from arguing with the man, and then said slowly: "What's your surname, sir?"

The man glanced at Xue Chen and snorted heavily: "You can only tell you that my surname is Wu. I don't want to tell you anything else. You are the boss here. I tell you, I didn't steal anything. Let me leave immediately. I

There are still urgent things to do."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Xue Chen thought: "Read the mind!" Suddenly, a large section of the man's true thoughts appeared in his heart.

"Huh?" After he had a glimpse of the inner thoughts of the man in front of him, Xue Chen's eyelids moved slightly, and he took a deep look at the man in front of him. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and then quickly returned to normal.

At this moment, there were sparse footsteps outside the store, and five or six people appeared at the door. Zhuge Yi was the leader, and the following people were no longer strangers. They were all shopkeepers doing business in this street.

Zhuge Yi felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the lobby and looked at Xue Chen with a questioning look in his eyes.

And a man in his forties who came with him, wearing a light gray short coat and holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, said with a faint smile: "Boss Xue and shopkeeper Li are both here. Are there distinguished guests? There are also important guests."

Is there business? It seems like it’s not the right time for us to have tea.”

When they heard that Zhuoyue Store was going to do big business again, the shopkeepers who came with them all showed a little bit of admiration.

"Mr. Zhuge, Boss Geng, Shopkeeper Ju, Shopkeeper Song... please come in." Xue Chen calmly invited the guests who came to drink tea to come in.

Then I looked at the person who asked the question, Geng Changgui, who also ran an antique shop on this street, called Gujinyuan. It was diagonally opposite, less than thirty meters away, and it was the closest one.

"Boss Geng, you are wrong. It's not a big business, hey." Xue Chen sighed and casually briefly explained what happened.

For a moment, everyone looked at the strange man standing in the lobby, and many people frowned.

Geng Changgui snorted heavily: "Hand it over as soon as you take it. If you admit your mistake again, maybe Mr. Boss Xue will not pursue you. Otherwise, when the police are called and both the person and the person get the stolen goods, you will be waiting to go to jail."

Let’s eat!”

Xue Chen then turned to the man who called himself Wu and followed Geng Changgui's wishes and said: "Oh, Mr. Wu, we have no right to search you and your bag. How about this? Let's call the police and let the police come and check."

No matter how your bag is, it is reasonable for you and me."

Hearing that Xue Chen was about to call the police, a trace of panic flashed across the face of the man holding the bag in his arms, and he frowned and said: "It's okay to call the police, but I have something urgent. I have a business to discuss, in case it's delayed.

What should I do? If I hadn’t stolen your stuff, wouldn’t my business have suffered?”

"Well, what Mr. Wu said makes sense, what do you think we should do?" Xue Chen asked calmly.

"I'm not an unreasonable person. Either let me go now or call the police. However, if the police come and prove that I didn't steal anything, then you have to compensate for my losses." The man surnamed Wu said with a glare.

"Since you are in a hurry and don't have anything in our store, why not just show us the leather bag in your arms. This will be convenient for everyone, right?" A store clerk interjected.

The man surnamed Wu glanced at the waiter and said mockingly: "Do you know what dignity is? If I suspect you of stealing something and say you are hiding it at home, will you let me randomly search your house?"

The waiter blushed for a moment when he was retorted. He was about to speak again, but was stopped by Xue Chen waving his hand.

"Mr. Wu, okay, I can promise you that if the police come and prove that you didn't take anything from our store, I can promise to compensate you. Now let's talk about compensation. You can say it."

The man surnamed Wu thought for a moment and said: "Fifty million! Don't you insist that I stole the thing? If the police come and prove that I didn't steal it and I am innocent, then you have to pay me half a million, and

You also need to apologize to me, in front of everyone present!"

Seeing this man being so aggressive and not worried about the police coming, everyone present started to murmur, was he just pretending, or was he really not stealing?

Zhuge Yi looked at Li Lingchun and asked with his eyes if he was sure about this. Li Lingchun thought about it and nodded. The surveillance showed that the thing must have been taken away by this man.

Just when Xue Chen touched his chin and seemed to be thinking about it, Geng Changgui took a step forward and snorted: "You are pretending to be the same. You really think you can scare us. If you really didn't take the thing, your hands are shaking."

What?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at the man named Wu's hand. Sure enough, it was shaking slightly. Although he hurriedly concealed it, it was still seen by many pairs of eyes.

"Boss Xue, call the police, the thing must be in his bag, it can't be wrong!" Geng Changgui said.

The man named Wu's face was ashen.

"Okay then." Xue Chen nodded and turned to the waiter with a look, indicating to call the police.

Seeing that the police had actually been called, the man surnamed Wu, who was holding his purse tightly, lowered his head, as if he felt guilty and at a loss, but there was no trace of panic in his eyes...

For a moment, the lobby became quiet. Xue Chen glanced at the guests present and said, "How come you are all interested in visiting our shop today?"

Zhuge Yi said: "It was Boss Geng who suggested it. He said that your Joyo store has done some big business recently and is very prosperous. We all come here to get rich."

Xue Chen nodded clearly, looked at Geng Changgui who had stood up to speak a few times before, and said with a faint smile: "Boss Geng, I'm telling you a joke. There is no wealth, only bad luck."

"It doesn't matter, the police will come soon and the truth will be revealed." Geng Changgui replied.

"Yes, I also believe that the truth will be revealed. The filth in those dark ditches will never be brought to the surface."

Emotions.

If I had to describe it, it would be "obvious and boring", and more pretentiously, it would be "lonely as snow".

The speed of dispatching the police was still very fast. In less than ten minutes, two policemen appeared at the door of the store. After all, this is the capital, the capital of the motherland. What's more, this is within the second ring road. Under the feet of the real emperor, naturally we pay more attention to public security.
