Not far from the foodie street in the city, there is a small alley.

There are many shops on the left and right sides of the alley, including dry cleaners, grocery stores, and spicy soup stalls. There is a large store in the deepest part of the alley, but with the rolling shutter door closed, it feels dead.

Yang Ding and another person got out of the car. Yang Ding looked at this inconspicuous and creepy shop and preached to the people around him.

"Mr. Su, this is your No. 1 pawnshop head office,"

Su Jianghe pointed to the tightly closed door, "Yes, this is the main store of the pawn shop. Let's go in, not from the main entrance, but from the side path."

A gloomy path, like the secret passage on TV, leads to an unknown area.

There were only two light yellow chandeliers in the alley, and the dim light made the place appear even darker.

Su Jianghe knocked on a wooden door at the end of the path, and soon the door opened, and an old man appeared in front of Yang Ding.

The old man looked at Su Jianghe and then at Yang Ding, "Mr. Su, here are the customers,"

Su Jianghe walked in and said loudly, "He's not a customer, he's a friend. I brought him here to visit. Yang Ding, this is the shopkeeper of the main store. His surname is Wu. You can just call him Mr. Wu. He is a historian and archaeologist." I have a doctorate in three majors: science and forensics, and I have been studying these little things for forty years."

Yang Ding immediately shook hands with the old man, his heart full of respect for the old man's knowledge. The environment in the room also affected Yang Ding's heart. There were things around him that he had never seen before, and the decoration in the room was also harmonious. It is similar to ancient times, which makes the whole person feel uneasy.

"Hello, Mr. Wu,"

Yang Ding smiled slightly and followed Su Jianghe to sit on the wooden chair in the middle of the hall.

Su Jianghe flicked his sleeves, sat down and leaned on the back cushion, casually taking a porcelain bowl from the side.

"Yang Ding, this is something that was burned in an ancient official kiln. Someone exchanged this porcelain bowl for 50,000 yuan. Later, he did not come back to redeem it when the agreed time came. This porcelain bowl already belonged to the No. 1 Pawn Shop. Later, someone was willing to pay 10,000 yuan. I bought it for 50,000 yuan, but Mr. Wu stopped him. Mr. Wu said that this bowl was worth at least 400,000 yuan. Although it was very ordinary, and the color was also very poor, but the quantity of this style was very small at that time, so the price would still be high. There was room for improvement, so I stayed. Of course, the original owner of the porcelain bowl later gave him 200,000 yuan, but I didn't ask him to redeem it. The agreed time had passed, so it was naturally mine. I didn't want it to be redeemed. Agree, no one can take it away,"

Su Jianghe's words were very powerful.

Yang Ding could feel the domineering aura coming from Su Jianghe. To be precise, it was the domineering aura of a bandit.

Yang Ding said, "Well, thanks to Mr. Wu, Mr. Su can make a lot of money just by buying low and selling high. I have opened my eyes today, but the things here are very strange. I have hardly seen many ,"

Mr. Wu sorted out the items and said, "Of course, how can they get the things they see in the pawn shop? Some things can be mortgaged directly with the bank, so the items we accept here are all on the market. Uncommon,”

Mr. Wu took a small box in his hand, "Mr. Yang, look at this box, there is nothing abnormal, but after I tested it with some instruments, I found that there is a very precious gemstone in it."

Mr. Wu is a veteran figure in the No. 1 Pawn Shop. He also knows that Su Jianghe is hospitable. Every time he brings friends here, he will introduce some special things. Of course, Su Jianghe's friends are very generous, and there are some items that he likes. Quote directly and take away.

When Su Jianghe saw Mr. Wu taking out his favorite treasure again, he immediately smiled and said, "Yang Ding, Mr. Wu has been a pawnshop owner for many years. Almost 90% of the things he identified from his eyes made me a lot of money." It’s a small amount of money, but this box, haha, Mr. Wu, this box is one of your failed products,”

Yang Ding was also shocked. This Mr. Wu is really powerful. He can identify the value of more than 90% of the items, earn them at low prices, and finally make huge profits. This percentage is already very high.

Yang Ding said, "Mr. Su, maybe there is some big treasure in this box. By the way, Mr. Wu, how much did you bid for the other party in exchange?"

Mr. Wu's eyes were still fixed on the box, "Hey, Mr. Su has criticized me dozens of times for this box. Haha, the other party offered one million at that time, and I counter-offered 800,000 to seal the deal. After that, the other party did not Come to redeem, maybe the other party is not able to open the box. If it really can't be opened, the box is worthless."

Yang Ding looked at the box and saw that there was nothing special about it at all.

"Mr. Wu, why can't you open it? Since there is something inside, it must have been put in. If you can put it in, you can definitely take it out."

Mr. Wu shook his head and said, "Generally, items have a box first, and then the things are put in. This thing is different. The size of the box is made according to the size of the items inside, and they are almost closely connected. If it is cut with an instrument, If you open it, the contents inside will be damaged and lose their original value."

Yang Ding thought in his heart, even if the thing and the box were closely related to each other as Mr. Wu said, the maker would not be so stupid. Since the box was made, he must want others to open it.

There must be some mechanism.

Yang Ding said, "Mr. Wu, can you give me a look?"

Mr. Wu did not hesitate and handed it to Yang Ding.

This box looks very old. There is a flower-like pattern on the box. It looks very simple and not so gorgeous.

This flower has five petals, but only four petals protrude, and one petal has not been made, and the corresponding position is blank.

Yang Ding pressed it gently with his finger, but there was no response from the box.

Wu Lao smiled and looked at Yang Ding's movements. There was a missing petal on it. Wu Lao noticed it the first time, so there would be no surprises if he pressed his finger on the blank space.

"It's useless. I've tried no less than five ways to open it, but nothing works. Maybe the box doesn't want to be opened,"

Yang Ding looked at Mr. Wu, maybe that was the case, but Yang Ding still wanted to study this new thing. Yang Ding still had a free hand, gently holding it on the bottom of the box.

I shook it, but there was no response.

Knocked, but no movement.

A little nail on my little finger accidentally scratched a small protruding point at the bottom.

Whoosh.

Yang Ding opened his mouth wide, and the bottom of the box popped out very quickly. What caught his eyes was a beautiful gem.

Su Jianghe and Mr. Wu jumped up at the same time. What, Yang Ding actually got him away.

Mr. Wu laughed loudly and said, "Okay, Mr. Yang, you are really a destined person. Haha, I tried several methods, but I wanted to open the box. Unexpectedly, the box could not be opened, but there was a picture like this at the bottom. It's like a drawer. It seems that my thinking is old. It's old. Come on, let me see what kind of gem this is."

Su Jianghe also showed a smile. Yang Ding was indeed lucky and helped him.

"Mr. Wu, please quickly appraise how much this gem is worth,"

When Mr. Wu took it in his hand, it was like seeing gold. Exploration and discovery were the things he was most interested in in his life. He gently took out the gem and walked to the counter, where there were some instruments and tools.

"Mr. Su, Mr. Yang, have a sip of tea. I'll be here soon."

Mr. Wu started his work seriously. He was always curious and excited about discovering a treasure.

Yang Ding couldn't understand why Su Jianghe, a big drug dealer, fell in love with the pawnshop business. Even if this business was lucrative, it couldn't be compared with the drug business. Even if he had to find a legitimate business to face, Su Jianghe Why did you choose this profession?

Su Jianghe took a sip of tea and said, "Yang Ding, you are very lucky. If I didn't bring you here to show you today, I don't know how long it would take Mr. Wu to see the things in the box. Haha, except for this box, there are other things They were all exchanged for cash after his appraisal, so this box also became a worry for him."

Yang Ding said modestly, "Where is it? Mr. Wu said this is a treasure. There is absolutely no problem. I just happened by chance. I think Mr. Wu can open it accidentally one day."

After chatting with Su Jianghe for a while, Mr. Wu exclaimed loudly, "Mr. Su, I didn't make a mistake. Haha, this gemstone is natural, and the beauty in it is first-class. I dare say that it is the best on the market." It can be sold for at least four million,"

When Yang Ding heard this, he realized that his contribution was not small. If he hadn't accidentally touched both mechanisms, it would have taken long for this gem to see the light of day again.

Yang Ding said, "Mr. Su, congratulations, you have made a lot of money this time, haha,"

Su Jianghe nodded with satisfaction, "Mr. Wu, thank you for your hard work. Yang Ding, your contribution is not small. If this gem is sold, I will give you one million, and we can make money together."

One million can be divided at any time, and Su Jianghe is indeed brave enough.

However, Yang Ding's goal is getting closer and closer, now is the time to speak, and opportunities are rare.

Yang Ding said with a worried look, "Mr. Su, making money is a good thing, but recently a friend of mine got into trouble, and it also involved a prominent figure in the city. I want to help my friend clear his grievances. For this million, I’ll try to see if I can get in touch with that **** boss,”

Yang Ding couldn't tell the matter too thoroughly. Theoretically speaking, Yang Ding didn't know Su Jianghe's identity.

After listening to what Yang Ding said, Su Jianghe thought for a while and said, "Tell me what it is and I'll see if I can be of some help."

Yang Ding suddenly became excited, "Mr. Su, you also have contact with the prostitutes in the city. That's great, great. Mr. Su, if you can really help me, I won't take this million anymore. Money is a good thing." , but not everything can be purchased,”

Su Jianghe did not continue to discuss the topic of one million. If he could help, he would give one million to Yang Ding.

Su Jianghe asked, "Yang Ding, tell me, which *** boss do you want to find?"

Yang Ding thought for a while and then two words popped out of his mouth, "Pan Zuo,"
