Chapter 2 Sky-high Price Inkstone
Fang Xiaocao told Li Qiang everything that happened last night, but subconsciously, he concealed the strange friend on WeChat who foretold the murder.
"Ms. Fang, based on your description, we cannot rule out that the murderer will attack you again. I suggest you change your residence temporarily."
"Also, do not leave this city recently. , if anything happens, please notify me as soon as possible."
Wang Qiang explained patiently.
Fang Xiaocao nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood.
After walking out of the police station, Fang Xiaocao didn't even dare to go back to the rental house. He directly chose a hotel closest to the police station and checked in.
Fang Xiaocao was frightened by last night's experience.
I never want to go back to that building full of blood.
Lying on the hotel bed, thinking about what happened last night, Fang Xiaocao's body could not stop trembling.
The man's deep voice and the neighbor's sister's frightened scream seemed to still echo in my ears and refused to go away for a long time.
【Ding dong! 】
【Your friend sent a message. 】
The mobile phone alert sounded, it was a WeChat message.
Fang Xiaocao couldn't wait to pick up her phone and clicked on WeChat. She had a hunch that it was the message from that weird guy.
[Hot noodles: In order to celebrate our survival, before three o'clock in the afternoon, we went to the flea market, stall No. 7, and bought the seventh inkstone on the left, in the third row. The boss's price was 80, and the inkstone was worth 800. Ten thousand. 】
“Who are you?”
Fang Xiaocao couldn’t wait to ask via voice.
My voice was trembling because of nervousness.
Sent successfully!
Fang Xiaocao clenched his phone excitedly and stared at the screen.
[Hot Mouth Noodles: I am you, you are me, I come from the future. 】
Looking at this message, Fang Xiaocao was stunned.
Soon, anger climbed onto her face.
“Are you kidding me?”
"You can't even fool a child with such a poor excuse!"
Fang Xiaocao asked angrily.
【Hot Mouth Noodles: Don’t believe it? Do you still remember the love letter you wrote to your Chinese teacher in your sophomore year of high school? 】
【Hot Mouth Noodles: Do you want me to read it to you? 】
Fang Xiaocao was stunned, his eyes were as wide as bells, and the anger on his expression was replaced by disbelief.
"How could she know?"
"Is it really me in the future?"
Fang Xiaocao sat on the bed in a daze, muttering to himself.
When she was in high school, she had a crush on her Chinese teacher. This was a secret that she never mentioned to anyone.
And the love letter was burned by Fang Xiaocao the day after it was written, after he discovered that the Chinese teacher had a girlfriend.
Apart from herself, Fang Xiaocao really couldn't think of anyone else who would know this secret.
Looking at the chat interface, Fang Xiaocao was in a daze.
After half a day of ideological struggle, Fang Xiaocao summoned up the courage and walked out of the hotel.
Toiletries and underwear were all in the rental house and had not been taken out. Compared to returning to the rental house that frightened her, Fang Xiaocao was more willing to spend money to buy a new set.
Walking aimlessly on the street, Fang Xiaocao came to the flea market by accident.
Looking at the bustling flea market, Fang Xiaocao gritted his teeth and decided to verify the authenticity of the news.
Walking in the flea market, Fang Xiaocao looked left and right, looking for stall No. 7 in the news.
Fang Xiaocao's mood is complicated and tangled.
When she walked to booth No. 7, looking at the dazzling array of products on sale, with a rough and uneasy mood, she looked for the inkstone mentioned in the news.
1, 2, 3……
When Fang Xiaocao followed the instructions, found the third line on the left, and counted to 7, he was stunned for a moment.
Inkstone!
On the left, in the third row, the seventh product...
It’s really an inkstone!
Fang Xiaocao moved and squatted in front of the stall.
The stall owner is an old man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
A pair of eyes are sneaky and treacherous.
Fang Xiaocao squatted in front of the stall, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He looked into Fang Xiaocao's clear and stupid eyes, with a greedy look in his eyes. The shrewd stall owner likes to do the business of college students. He is stupid and easy to deceive. He will take out a small amount of money just by cheating.
“Boss, how do you sell this?”
Fang Xiaocao picked up the inkstone casually and asked.
“One hundred thousand!”
The boss held out five fingers, but quoted a high price of one hundred thousand.
Fang Xiaocao put down the inkstone, stood up and left.
"Do I look like Peppa Pig? Treat me like a pig, the news has been told, the psychological price is 80 yuan."
Fang Xiaocao muttered in his heart.
“Hey, little girl, don’t leave!”
The stall owner saw that Fang Xiaocao was leaving and shouted quickly.
Fang Xiaocao stopped and looked at the stall owner.
“Is there anything else?”
The stall owner smiled obscenely, rubbing his hands like a fly, and said with a smile: "The price is all over the sky, and you have to pay it back on the ground. If you think the price is expensive, you can bargain."
Hearing this, Fang Xiaocao took a pick. Eyebrow, smiled.
"Then shall I bargain?"
Fang Xiaocao asked with a smile.
“Hey, that’s right.”
The stall owner had a smile on his face.
“One piece!”
Fang Xiaocao stretched out five fingers and said with a smile.
The expression of the stall owner suddenly collapsed.
“I’m kidding, can I sell it for a hundred?”
Fang Xiaocao smiled.
“Deal!”
The stall owner agreed without hesitation.
"Too much..."
Fang Xiaocao muttered, scanned the QR code to pay, picked up the inkstone and left.
At the exit of the flea market, there are antique shops.
Fang Xiaocao can’t wait to verify how valuable the inkstone is!
After looking for a few antique shops, I finally saw a plaque on a store that said antique appraisal and acquisition. Fang Xiaocao couldn't wait to go in.
"Hello, welcome."
As soon as I walked into the store, a sunny and cheerful uncle greeted me with a smile.
"Ma'am, buy or sell?"
The uncle asked with a smile.
“Look at this inkstone for me!”
Fang Xiaocao took out the inkstone and placed it on the counter.
The uncle put on white gloves, turned on the LED light, and began to check the inkstone repeatedly.
The more he looked, the more shocked the uncle's expression became.
After a long time, the uncle put the inkstone back on the counter, looked at Fang Xiaocao, and said with a smile: "Madam, do you plan to appraise it or sell it?"
"Our appraisal fee is three thousand. The certificate is 10,000 yuan, and if you sell it, the appraisal fee will be free of charge."
After saying that, the uncle looked at Fang Xiaocao with a smile, waiting for Fang Xiaocao's answer.
“For sale, sell if the price is right.”
Fang Xiaocao's purpose was to verify the authenticity of the WeChat messages, and he was not interested in collecting antiques. He had no intention of collecting them and directly chose to sell them.
“The quotation here is 8 million. If it is listed with the auction house, the transaction price will be 300,000 more after deducting the renewal fee.”
“Our store and the largest auction house in this city, If you have a cooperative relationship, you can contact me for help. No additional fees are required.”
Hearing that Fang Xiaocao was selling, the uncle smiled even more and introduced enthusiastically.
When Fang Xiaocao heard the offer of 8 million, her heartbeat slowed down in shock. She suppressed her excitement and pretended to be calm and said: "Sell directly!"
"Eight million, really 8 million!"
Fang Xiaocao exclaimed in his heart.
