I carry a space ring: Travel back to 1939

Chapter 52 Liu Zhengqian's Analysis

"Think about it, son. We just borrowed their antique shop for a while. If he charges 50 dollars for a bowl, we are losing out. He has been our friend for many years. It's okay for him to do us a favor. In my opinion, I can treat him to a meal as a way of thanking him!"

Gu Wenxuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw his father Gu Hengzhi's stingy look.

There is a reason why his father is stingy. Although his mother doesn't care about him, he rarely carries a lot of cash on him.

As far as he can remember, his father probably rarely had 100 dollars on him.

No wonder he was so heartbroken that he suddenly had to pay someone two or three thousand dollars in commission.

He walked over and patted his father on the shoulder.

"Dad, don't worry about that little bit of money. Your son has plenty of money now, why would he care about that? I tell you these bowls are the cheapest.

The truly valuable items are the ornaments, such as the two garlic jars, each of which is worth at least 5000 yuan."

Hu Hengzhi and his wife Jiang Xueling were both a little excited when they heard this.

Are these bottles and cans so valuable?

Although this street is full of antique sellers, they have never asked about the value of other people’s stuff!

So they really didn't know that these antiques were so valuable. They saw that Wenshan's antique shop usually made transactions worth tens or hundreds of dollars.

Therefore, Gu Hengzhi did not think that these antiques were valuable. They were only slightly more expensive than their brushes and rice paper.

The couple is now imagining how much the cartload of antiques their son brought back is worth!

Now neither of them had the heart to look at the sale of the four treasures of the study anymore. Instead, they wanted to go back to the yard and put the antiques and treasures in that room into their basement.

These things are so damn valuable, don't let them be seen by people with ulterior motives. You know, money can move people.

Although the employees in his store are all his long-time employees, in the face of huge financial benefits, who knows if it will tempt people to fall into moral degradation?

Don't test human nature, just put things away, that's the most serious thing to do.

So the couple stood up from their chairs as if they had discussed it beforehand, and went back to their yard to hide the treasure without paying any attention to their son.

Gu Wenxuan looked at the couple in a hurry and knew what they were thinking and couldn't help but shook his head.

Since his parents ignored him, he walked out of his shop and saw Xiangzi outside. The car was parked outside.

He waved his hand and got on the car with Xiangzi.

"Mr. Gu, where do you want to go?" Xiangzi asked.

"I haven't been to the detective team for a few days. I'm going to go and take a look today. Alas, I can't resign as the captain of the detective team, and it's boring to be the captain. It's really annoying!"

Xiangzi didn't say anything and drove his car with peace of mind, because he understood what Gu Wenxuan said. Being the captain of the Japanese detective team, he would be called a traitor behind his back.

Any normal person would feel uncomfortable.

Especially now that Gu Wenxuan is rich, he doesn't want to suffer this humiliation at all.

After a while, Xiangzi drove the car to the detective team's compound.

Gu Wenxuan got out of the car and went straight to the detective team's office.

He plopped down on the sofa in his detective squad office.

Now Wang San is equivalent to Gu Wenxuan's office assistant.

As soon as he saw the captain coming, he hurriedly and attentively made a cup of tea and placed it on his desk.

Gu Wenxuan took a sip of tea and asked, "Nothing big has happened in the past few days, right?"

Wang San said: "There has been nothing going on in our team in the past few days!"

Gu Wenxuan asked curiously, "There is nothing wrong in our team, so is there something going on somewhere else?"

Wang San is hardworking and smart, but he is a bit gossipy.

"Captain, let me tell you that a shocking incident happened in Tianjin last night!"

Gu Wenxuan's heart moved. Could it be that the big case he committed in Tianjin last night had spread to Peking so quickly?

"Jinmen, you mean Tianjin?"

Wang San said excitedly:

"Captain, you are right, it is Tianjin Wei, the Huaqi Bank in Tianjin Wei.

Last night, I was robbed completely by a flying thief.

It is said that they have lost an unknown amount of gold and silver, and more than half of their US dollars and British pounds have been stolen.

This flying thief is really weird. He only wants old bills and not new ones. If I cared about the old and new bills, I would have robbed them all. How could I have left so many dollars with them? Wouldn't that be a waste?"

Gu Wenxuan despised Wang San in his heart. If you continue to do this, I'm afraid you will be thrown into prison and shot soon as you take out the new banknotes to use.

"That wasn't the only thing that happened in Tianjin last night. There was something even worse. It is said that the munitions warehouse of an American army was looted, and tens of thousands of weapons were lost."

Gu Wenxuan pretended to be surprised and said:

"Who is so bold as to not even spare the military's ammunition depot?

Could it be that it was done by Mr. Ba's men or the Military Control Commission?

Well, fortunately, this case did not happen in our city of Peking.

Otherwise, our cargo enforcement team will probably be busy for who knows how long!"

Wang Sanshen felt the same way. They had been busy for more than 20 days because of the issue of western medicine some time ago. If these two cases happened in Peiping, they would probably not have a rest for a month.

Wang San put his hands together and said, "Oh, may the Buddha bless you!"

At this time, deputy captain Liu Zhengqian heard that Gu Wenxuan had come to work, so he hurried over to meet Gu Wenxuan.

"Captain, can you please come and see us old brothers when you have time?"

Gu Wenxuan threw a cigarette over and said with a smile:

"Captain Liu, you're talking as if I didn't come to work in March and May. Wasn't I just absent for two or three days? Is there something important going on?"

Liu Zhengqian took the cigarette and sat down on the bench:

"It's okay, what could possibly happen? We've been so hard-working recently, if something serious happens again, no one will be able to survive!

But a shocking incident did happen in Tianjin last night!"

Alas, Gu Wenxuan exclaimed in his heart, it seems that gossip is not just for women, men like it too!

"I just heard from Wang San that an American munitions warehouse in Tianjin was robbed, and the vault of Huaqi Bank was also completely looted.

I don't know who did it, was it the Jianghu people, the Shancheng Military Control Commission, or Lao Ba?"

Liu Zhengqian curled his lips and said, "From the description of Tianjin Wei, it should not be done by the Military Control Commission or the Eighth Master. I think it was done by some strange person in the martial arts world!"

Gu Wenxuan asked with great interest: "Captain Liu, why do you think it was done by the Jianghu people instead of Mr. Ba and his men?"

Liu Zhengqian said seriously: "Captain, think about it, if it was the Military Control Commission of Shancheng or Mr. Ba who entered the vault, he would take all their money, so why would he be picky? Besides, the Americans also left a lot of weapons in the arsenal, which can only be explained by the work of the heroes in the martial arts world.

Because there are some things they don't need, and if they take out new banknotes and use them, they will easily be discovered and arrested by the police.

But if it was someone from the Eighth Master or the Military Control Commission, he would take the money away and destroy it, or use it deliberately, even if he didn't need it, to disrupt the financial order! And cause unrest in the Japanese war zone!"

Liu Zhengqian's analysis was very logical, and even Gu Wenxuan believed what he said.
