Chapter 219: The Man with the Hardest Destiny

We all couldn't help but be stunned when our cousin said this, because no one expected that our always kind cousin would suddenly make this shop owner so embarrassed.

The owner of the antique shop looked very embarrassed. He looked at his cousin, then at the rest of us. He opened his mouth several times, but stopped talking.

At this time, my cousin's tone softened: "Actually, I can guess that there must be another reason for you to come to me. You must hope that I can help you. But if you don't tell the truth, then how can I I can help you. Don’t worry. They are all my juniors, but they can also be considered old friends. They are absolutely reliable friends. Of course, if you have concerns, there is no need to force you to say it.”

After his cousin's persuasion, both soft and hard, the antique shop owner let out a long sigh and said, "Well, since you have already guessed it, there is no need for me to hide it from you. To be honest, everything you said is right. The kind of thing I encountered tonight, according to common sense, I should call the police. But I do have difficulties. I wanted to run away to you and ask you for some advice. But I didn’t expect that you still have these friends here. So I I can't help but feel a little worried. But since you said that these are all trustworthy friends, I have nothing to hide. So I can just say whatever I want. Anyway, judging from the current situation, my life is almost at risk. Yes. So I risked my life.

Actually, this matter is a bit complicated. The silver ingots you three saw today were bought from a regular customer. And the one who wants to kill me tonight, I also suspect it is him."

"Oh. So, the man who sold you the silver ingots is the old man who wants to kill you tonight." I couldn't help but ask from the side.

The shop owner shook his head repeatedly and said: "No. No. To be precise, the old man who killed me today. I suspect it was the customer who instigated it. I don't know where he found this strange old man. He actually has such ability; that customer of mine He is only in his thirties. He is fair and chubby. He also wears a pair of glasses. But his clothes are quite traditional. He always wears the kind of "Tang suit" with double breasts. But this is nothing unusual. Originally, we are in this industry. .Many collectors like to wear more traditional Chinese clothing.”

After hearing what the store owner said, we looked at each other tacitly. It seemed that this so-called "customer" was probably the blind man in disguise.

My cousin interjected: "Then since he is your customer, why would he hire someone to kill you for no reason?"

When my cousin asked this question, the store owner seemed a little ashamed. After taking courage, he replied: "I feel ashamed to say it. They blame me for being greedy. Because this customer has been delivering goods to me regularly for two or three years." Sometimes it's silver ingots, sometimes it's gold ingots. To be honest, I've made a lot of money from him. But every time I go back and forth, I'm particularly curious. Where did this kid get so many "yellow and white goods".

And these silver ingots or gold ingots were obviously cast in the early Qing Dynasty. After thinking about it, I think this guy must be a tomb robber. And judging from the quantity he takes each time, it is obvious that he has a lot of goods. So. I started to make up my mind.

It's a coincidence. A nephew of mine came to join me a few months ago. He is the son of my cousin. Because his parents are dead and he doesn't know any other crafts, he has nowhere to go, so he came to my shop to help. .

My nephew is a bit lazy and he thinks about getting something for nothing all day long. He always hopes to make a sudden fortune. He has been in our county for half a year and has not achieved much else. He has made a few friends who are both 20 years old and others. The appearance of getting ahead.

Generally speaking, I don't like to use this kind of person, but since we are relatives after all, I just let this nephew barely make a living with me.

A while ago, I suddenly wanted to find out where that customer's gold and silver came from. So, I asked my nephew to be responsible for tracking that customer. When my nephew heard about it, he was very excited. He thought that if he could figure it out, The source of that customer's treasure really might explode. But he didn't dare to do it alone, so he called two more friends. I agreed at the time. I felt that although these three guys were usually idle, they could still get things done. Smart. If someone is too kind to do this, it may not be suitable.

Generally, when customers come to the store to do business, it is when it is about to close in the evening, because at this time, there are the fewest people in the store;

About ten days ago, the customer came again. As usual, in addition to bringing silver ingots, he also brought a few gold ingots. I asked the master in the store to appraise it. I found that the quality and so on were the same as before. Same. No problem. So I paid him quickly. To be honest, since he is an old customer, the price I gave him is still okay. But this customer is weird. He rarely talks and is even less willing to talk to him. I don’t want to say anything more. Apart from trading, I don’t want to talk about any other gossip. But I can understand it. He is afraid that I will ask about the source of the gold and silver. Of course, I also pay special attention to it. I never take the initiative to ask questions that I shouldn’t ask. So. Our transactions are done cleanly and in a very short time.

After the transaction, the customer turned around and walked out as usual. But this time, I asked my nephew and his two friends to quietly ambush near the store. When I saw the customer leaving, I immediately followed him secretly. he.

As soon as the customer went out, I quickly walked to the door of the store and found that my three nephews were already following the customer not too far away. I was relieved. That night, I don't know why, but I was very excited. I thought that if these three guys could successfully track and find the customer's residence, I might really have an outbreak.

At that time, I waited until the early morning for more than two days. I hadn't seen my nephew come back yet. I couldn't help but be a little worried. But because this matter was done in secret, it was hard to tell others.

Until the second day, the three of them still hadn't come back. I was in a state of confusion. I was not in the mood to do anything. I felt like something was wrong. On the third day, there was still no news about the three of them... Until Now, there is still no news from the three of them. I have been restless these days, with random thoughts in my mind. And that customer has never appeared again since that time. This happened today. I thought about it. Is it because the fact that I was following him was exposed, so that person hired a killer to kill me? Because other than that, I can’t think of anyone I have ever made enemies with.”

After we listened to the shop owner's story, we didn't speak immediately, because we knew that the three nephews of the shop owner dared to follow Blind Man Gao at night. It must have been a disaster. Although the shop owner didn't know about his so-called The true origin of the "old customer". However, with his shrewdness, he should also be able to feel that something must have happened to his nephew. However, in the final analysis, this matter is still because he is not aboveboard. So this is what he wants tonight The reason for not calling the police.

However, what kind of help does the shop owner want from his cousin? We can't guess yet.

After the shop owner said this, he seemed to be relieved. His cousin handed him a cup of wrapped hot tea. He took a few sips and moistened his throat. Before we could ask any more questions, he continued. He continued: "The whole story is probably like this. The reason why I thought of you first, Teacher Wang, is that I have some questions and I have to ask you for advice."

My cousin felt that the shop owner was quite sincere, so he said very kindly: "Brother, you don't have to be polite. Although you did something wrong, but no matter what, even if you are guilty, you don't deserve to die. You have to be killed." You are going too far. If you have any questions, just ask. I will definitely help you wherever I can."

The store owner nodded gratefully: "Thank you very much, Teacher Wang. I have always heard some friends praise your character and knowledge. Only after this contact did I realize that it is true. I am not flattering you. I am sincere. As for this time. What I want to ask Teacher Wang is whether there are any big tombs in our area. Are there any princes, generals, ministers and the like buried in our area in history? Because only people of this level are buried here. There are many grave goods. Or are there any famous tomb robbers in our area?

You are always an expert in the provincial cultural system. You should be relatively familiar with these situations. Because only by clarifying these can we figure out the address and origin of the mysterious customer. These are important clues."

After listening to the situation introduced by the shop owner, we were all a little bit disappointed. We had already found the location where Blind Man Gao was and we could stay there. But we didn’t expect that this kind of thing would suddenly happen again. This is equivalent to the clue we just discovered. It seems like Suddenly it broke again.

Could it be that this tall blind man really has God to help him and that he has a very tough fate? Because in the world, it is said that there is a kind of person who has a very tough fate. In seemingly inescapable dangers, he can always turn the danger into safety and remain safe. And those who are his enemies, no matter how powerful they are, will eventually be defeated by him.

From the duels and contests one after another, Blind Man Gao seems to have such a fate. It seems that his opponent can kill him immediately. But he always has unexpected luck. He is really a terrible and difficult enemy to deal with.

My cousin saw that the shop owner had said so much with all his heart. Of course, when people ask questions to themselves, they should answer them seriously. He nodded slightly to the shop owner and said: "Since you have told us all these things, then I I won’t hide anything from you anymore. To tell the truth, your nephew has two other young men. I’m afraid it’s more serious than bad.”

"Oh. Why. How do you always know?" This may be what the store owner is most afraid of hearing. Although he has thought of this result in his heart, it still makes him feel very uncomfortable when it is actually said by others. Be shaken.

"Because your old customer is the old man who killed you tonight in disguise."

"Ah, is it true?" the shop owner opened his mouth, with a look of horror on his face. Next to us, we told the shop owner briefly and concisely everything about the blind man Gao.

When the shop owner heard this, there was only one expression on his face...surprise. But speaking of it, this shop owner is considered lucky. He actually came to his cousin's house by accident. And...we are also considered lucky. The person in the county who knows Blind Man Gao best and is the most capable of fighting Blind Man Gao. With a few of us accompanying him tonight, he should be considered the safest.
