Chapter 92 Retrieve things quickly
This kind of thing happened a few years ago, when the monitoring equipment was not perfect. At that time, some people even climbed over the wall to dig out floor tiles to sell.
When the police heard that it was a protected ancient building, their expressions became much more serious, and they immediately called for surveillance on the road outside to look for someone.
Gu Shaoyu hurried over ten minutes later. He had already made several calls. He was afraid that finding someone would not go smoothly, so he contacted some contacts to ask for help.
Yu Xiaosu and Cheng Liang stood there reproachfully. Shen You saw them lowering their heads, so she went over and patted Yu Xiaosu on the shoulder,
"If the other party knew that those things were valuable, they would have targeted them long ago."
Another half hour later, the person who received the notice was found at the nearest police station.
Shen You and the others all went.
"Who knows what kind of ancient carving that thing is? I saw it lying on the ground, so I picked it up thinking no one wanted it. It's against the law to pick up an old piece of wood."
He loudly defended himself as the person who picked things up.
Sitting in the police station, not only did he not panic, but he also looked like a scoundrel who was not afraid of boiling water. He even sprayed spit on the policeman's face.
"Who said it was something no one wanted! We also put foam paper underneath and put all the tools next to it." Yu Xiaosu's face turned red with anger.
"A broken piece of wood and a window are worth a hundred thousand, right? You people are shameless and want to extort money, right?"
The other party cursed loudly, but Shen You noticed a trace of guilt flashing across his face.
It's weird if I don't know how valuable it is.
"That's not some broken wood, it's an antique. It's no longer just a matter of a few days of detention. It can sentence you to several years in prison! You'd better tell me clearly where the things are!" the policeman knocked on the table to warn.
Hearing that he was going to jail, the man still refused to admit it
"I picked it up and saw that it was of no use, so I threw it into the river. You want to fish it out for yourself? Why did you catch me!"
The policeman who went to arrest him also said that he saw nothing, but looking at his confident look, there was nothing an experienced policeman could not understand.
Especially when it was discovered that the man had gambling debts outside.
Seeing that the situation was bad, the other party acted aggressively on the spot, "You want me to pay 100,000 yuan for a piece of rotten wood. Damn it, you teamed up with the police to bully me, a common man with a flat head!"
"You are wrong." Shen You corrected, "One hundred thousand dollars is a carved window. The windows we have there are all coherent. If one is missing, the overall value of the house will be lost more than this."
"If you sell it on the market, others will offer you ten thousand or twenty thousand at most. In Jiangcheng, no one may accept it."
The police have found out that this man had come to apply for a security guard job nearby, but failed to get the job and was thinking wrongly.
I know that some houses are unoccupied most of the time, and a piece of carved wood inside can be sold for a lot of money.
After wandering around for a few days, I found that these places were very tight and there was no chance to start.
Until I discovered that Shen You's studio was under renovation and the door needed to be kept open so delivery people could come in and out. It was the best place to fish in troubled waters.
As for the stuff, it's likely that it has been handed over to the next person who sold it.
But these are all speculations and there is no concrete evidence. The man bit himself to death without knowing the value and threw it away.
There is no evidence of beating him to death, so there is really nothing we can do against this scoundrel.
Cheng Liang was so angry that he wanted to go up and beat him. Just when he was trying to get his way, his accomplice was caught.
The things were given at 9:50, and the person arrived at the antique street at 10:20. It was not even 11 o'clock when he was captured.
The moment they saw the thing, everyone in the studio was still furious.
The accomplice was afraid that he would be discovered when he took action, so he cut the carved wood into pieces.
They wanted to get things out as soon as possible, and all they could think of was antique street.
As soon as Shen You confirmed that the item had been stolen, she sent the picture to several antique shop owners she knew. When he entered a store and asked about the price, the boss immediately recognized that it belonged to Shen You. He asked him to go to a room without valuables, served tea, calmed the person down, and then reported it.
Who would want to offend Shen You for something worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Not to mention Shen You's current reputation in the collecting circle, it's her own craftsmanship that will need her help in the future.
When the man was arrested, everyone was confused. He thought that his partner had sold him out, and he was scolded and beaten when he came in.
The rest of the matter had nothing to do with them. Gu Shaoyu hired a lawyer to handle it. After stealing such a large amount of money and damaging things, he must go in.
When he returned to the studio, Gu Shaoyu asked worriedly, "What should I do with this thing? Can it be saved?"
He was afraid that Shen You would not be able to explain to the collaborator behind the scenes that something like this happened after they had only been using the house for a short time.
"It can be repaired. You have to hire someone who specializes in restoring ancient buildings. There is one in Antique Street. It's not a big problem. Don't worry."
"It is our negligence that caused the antiques that have been preserved for so long to be damaged. Let's deduct our wages and find someone to repair it."
Yu Xiaosu and Cheng Liang unanimously decided to take the responsibility themselves.
"No, it won't cost much to repair this piece of carved wood." Shen You comforted softly,
"Don't take it to heart. Just pay attention next time. Our studio is a team. If anything happens, we will deal with it together. Hey, it's almost lunch time. Let's see what we have to eat."
Gu Shaoyu came over to the menu reported on Shen You's phone and suggested,
"A new Chinese restaurant opened the day before yesterday. It's well decorated. Why don't you order takeout and let's go over and try the taste."
Shen You made a quick decision, "Let's go!"
Now that the matter is settled, it's time to settle down and let everyone calm down.
The newly opened restaurant was on the other side of the lake. It took a long drive to get there, so they simply took a rowboat and went directly there, which only took a few minutes.
This restaurant has a good mood. Shen You saw that the two assistants were a little cautious, so she asked them to order whatever they wanted and use the studio's tent.
The food tastes good, the presentation is nice, and you pay for the appearance and environment.
The floating life of 299 is like a dream. There is a flower in the middle. When the tea soup is poured out, the flower will slowly bloom.
It was quite nice to look at, but it had no taste, which gave Shen You the illusion that she could have sex with her for the money.
After dinner, Gu Shaoyu and Cheng Liang went back first, while Shen You and Yu Xiaosu went to the nearby ancient town.
Girls should definitely go shopping together. In a physical store of traditional domestic cosmetics, Shen You bought a few pieces of goose egg powder and many offline products. Yu Xiaosu also bought some.
"Miss Shen, did you buy so much?" Yu Xiaosu asked curiously.
"Send some to your relatives and friends at home." Shen You replied.
Later, they went to a shop selling embroidery thread. No one in the studio knew how to embroider, but silk thread was the material for making velvet flowers.
Shen You recently saw some velvet flowers on display in the museum and wanted to try it himself. Making velvet flowers is much simpler than making gold and restoring those tired silk filigree jewelry.
Come and buy some on the way.
Returning to the studio in the afternoon, everyone flipped through the almanac for a long time and discussed which day would be better to officially open the business.
Gu Shaoyu suggested that he find a master to calculate the time, saying that the opening time of his branch was calculated by someone, and he also had to calculate the time for buying a house and decorating it.
Shen You waved her hand, she thought it was enough to look at the old almanac, and finally decided on next Friday, which is ten days later.
After the time is determined, I will tell everyone about it.
There is nothing more appropriate than having a private collection exhibition here and sending out invitations.
