Nine-tiered fairy lotus

Chapter 222
Hu Tu felt like he was on a thief ship.But thinking about the place he was about to go to, he put away his dissatisfaction again, and thought to himself: "It's all for fun before the Chinese New Year, and maybe I can earn some hard money. The Chinese New Year, the market should feel very uncomfortable. Same."

When they arrived, the two police officers went to the hotel to change into casual clothes, and then walked to the antique market.In the snow, the sellers were guarding the stalls, standing in the simple shed with their heads hunched, and some were holding a sweet potato. The skin of the sweet potato was thrown on the snow, melting a pile of snow water.

The four people walking together seemed to be a huge team. They were divided into two groups, one in front and the other in the back, separated by more than ten meters, supporting each other back and forth.Before finding the tomb robbers, Hu Tu was the main force. He and Chen Peipei walked in front, pretending to be lovers, and walking arm in arm.The snow on the ground keeps piling up, and the footprints are lined up, and the number can still be seen clearly.There are fewer people on heavy snow days, and the sound of the antique street is much more deserted than before.

"Don't be so stiff." Chen Peipei said in a low voice, "Be natural. If you look like this, others will see that you are pretending at a glance. You will treat me as your girlfriend, won't you?"

Hu Tu is not used to holding hands when shopping, and he has never done this with Wang Pinqiu when shopping. He habitually tried to raise his right hand to scratch his head, but his right hand was pulled, so he had to touch his nose with his left hand.Pointing to the first stall, he said, "Then let's look at the stalls one by one, and look for the real ones first, and then the people."

"Can't you smell it directly?" Chen Peipei exhorted nervously, "I heard that people who have robbed tombs have a special smell on their bodies, which is a bit like a mixture of loess and rotting corpses. Smell it carefully and see For antiques, you have to see what year and month it will go!"

The Antique Street is full of old things, whether they are antiques or not, they all have an old smell on them, and this smell is very similar to being pulled out of the soil.Only from the smell, it is estimated that one-third of them look like grave robbers.It would be better to send the police directly to interrogate them one by one.

However, although the Antique Street is known as a place for selling antiques, there are really not many real things these days. If the things are real and have that strange smell on their bodies, this is possible.

Chen Peipei's suggestion was too impractical, and it felt like an outsider commanding an insider. Hu Tu didn't like it very much.After he got out of the car and didn't say a few words, he felt like he was letting go. He said: "I think, we are shopping in the antique street. If we smell people when we see them, then there is a problem at first sight. Tomb robbers The thief saw it, so they can’t sneak around? If that’s the case, you might as well just pull a police dog over, it will be faster.”

Few of the people hanging around in this antique street are completely innocent. If they see the police coming, let alone tomb robbers, even if they are really innocent, they have to hide first to avoid trouble.If all the police dogs were really pulled over, it is estimated that more than half of the people on the street would disperse immediately.

Chen Peipei secretly extinguished her anger, but still wanted to find out as soon as possible.But in this kind of thing, it is useless to rush, and in the end, we still have to take it step by step.She saw Hu Tu squatting down, looking for each one slowly, and standing beside him anxiously.After a few minutes, she couldn't help urging: "Did you find it?"

At this time, the seller also smiled and asked: "Yes, young man, what are you looking for?"

Hu Tu shook his head, and replied together: "I didn't find it, these things are not old enough, at most they belong to the Republic of China."

The expression of approval on the seller's face flashed, and then he said dissatisfiedly: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, what is it about the Republic of China? My stall is at least from the Qing Dynasty. Hurry up and leave." Waving his hand, he was very displeased to see Hu Tu again.

Hearing what the seller said, Chen Peipei also showed suspicion, and said, "Hu Tu, can you do it?"

Hu Tu stood up, scratched his head, he realized that what he just said was inappropriate after he finished speaking.Antique Street has always been true and false. If you don’t buy it, you should pay attention to seeing it through and not telling it. Hu Tu tells the truth. If the seller recognizes it, how can you sell it?So praise is nothing but praise, people still have to drive away.

Hu Tu took two steps and said in a low voice, "If you don't trust me, you can find someone else. I don't even have a salary to help you. You started chattering when you started." You are not a couple, so you dare to talk like that Only then did he dare not care about Chen Peipei's glare as a police officer, and strolled to the next booth.

Without Hu Tu's help, Chen Peipei would not be able to find anyone else for a while. Her chest was heaving, and she could only hold back her breath.But her eyes were not forgiving, the flames in her eyes seemed to burn Hu Tu, and then she noticed that Hu Tu had skipped two booths, and immediately went up to question him.

Hu Tu glanced at her as if looking at a fool, and said in a playful tone: "I don't need to look at all the modern artworks with clearly marked prices?" I saw a pile of copper coins on the counterfeit booth, which were ancient coins from the Qing Dynasty.He rummaged inside for a while, but didn't see any precious species, so he asked, "How do you sell this?"

The seller immediately said: "500 yuan a piece, the same price, you can choose whatever you want. These copper coins are all from the Qing Dynasty. A friend put them on consignment for me. I don't know if they are real or fake. It's all up to you." eyesight."

Hu Tu shook his head, stood up and walked to the next booth, but the seller didn't stop him.Chen Peipei naturally wanted to ask again, and he explained: "None of those copper coins is worth 500 yuan. I wanted to pick a few for fun, but I don't want to be fooled when I buy them."

Antique Street is full of smart people, and if you want to take advantage, you have to be smarter than smart people.This requires a premise, that is to see the authenticity of the items and know their details.Hu Tu is a little confident in this point, he walks this street, he doesn't want to take advantage of it, but first he wants to avoid disadvantages.

Seeing that what Hu Tu said was well-founded, Chen Peipei asked a few more tentative questions, and Hu Tu could explain everything clearly, which gave her a little more confidence, and she said: "Hu Tu, do your best, if you really can Catch this group of tomb robbers, and I will definitely apply for a reward for you later."

Hu Tu couldn't help laughing. The little money that the government rewarded could be as much as possible. If it was for that, he wouldn't come.But he still asked: "Is the reward cash settlement? How much can I give?"

As a police officer, Chen Peipei thinks a little differently from ordinary people. When she hears that someone uses money to measure honor, she will always show dissatisfaction, but she is powerless to change anyone's mind. She said impatiently: "At least 1000 Yuan, I won’t let you work for nothing.” This 1000 yuan is only available if you catch the tomb robber, if you can’t catch it, it’s free work.
