Chapter 2233 please master

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a watch shop near the City God Temple in the Magic City.

The name of the watch shop is Hendry, which is said to be a century-old shop.

The store is full of ancient charm, as if it has traveled through time and space and returned to that rushing era.

There is a wind chime at the door. When the door opens, the wind chime makes a nice crisp sound.

Zhao Yu and Cui Lizhu walked into the watch shop one after another, and saw that there were many clocks in the store, as if they had entered a museum.

However, the owner of the watch shop is a young man, and the young even made Zhao Yu feel that he had come to the wrong place.

At this moment, the young man was playing with his cell phone. When he heard a customer coming in, he asked without raising his eyelids: "Would you like to repair the watch or buy it?"

"If it's a watch repair, just put it on the counter!" He gently knocked on the counter, "If it's a watch purchase, please check it yourself!"

"Haha," Choi Lizhu stuck out her tongue, "Shit the boss!"

"You are right, haha..." The young man glanced at Cui Lizhu, "My father went to repair the watch for someone, I just looked at the store!"

"Okay..." Cui Lizhu pouted her mouth and shook her head at Zhao Yu, which obviously meant that she had the wrong time.

However, Zhao Yu did not affect his mood. Instead, he took out the diamond-inlaid watch taken from half of his arm and placed it in front of the young man's face.

Originally, the young man was playing games intently, but after taking a look at the watch, his eyes suddenly emitted light:

"Wow!" he sighed in surprise, "1918, St. Da Norway, this is! You rich, you guys!?"

"Oh?" Choi Lizhu suddenly felt excited, "Do you know this watch?"

"Of course, we are a noble family!" The young man finally put down his cell phone, carefully observed the watch, and praised, "Where did you get it? This kind of watch is very rare!"

"Is it valuable?" In a professional habit, Cui Lizhu asked the price as soon as she spoke.

"It's diamond-encrusted," the young man took it as a magnifying glass and looked at it seriously, "If it's all true, our small shop can't afford it!

"Wow," as he spoke, the young man exclaimed, "It's really 1918! This is not a replica, it's the real Santa Norway!"

"Are you sure?" Choi Lizhu asked, "You're so sure you said that, have you seen it before?"

"See, have seen it," the young man nodded and said, "The magic had a watch exhibition a few years ago, and I have seen it at the exhibition!"

"Young man," Zhao Yu said, "Tell us about the origin of this watch!"

"Well...you...you..." the young man asked curiously, "What do you mean? Do you ask me to make an appraisal, or do you want to entrust us to find a buyer?"

"Let's check it out first!" In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhao Yu took out his ID and revealed his identity. "This form is related to an unfinished case! I hope you can help us..."

"Ah?" The young man rarely deals with police officers. He immediately panicked and said quickly, "I... I'm calling my dad now!

"Well... wait... wait..." Unexpectedly, after he picked up his phone, he suddenly remembered something, and quickly turned around and ran upstairs, "I... I'd better call me grandpa!"

A few minutes later, the young man helped an old man with white beard from the upper floor. The old man looked almost 90 years old, holding a dragon-headed crutch, hunched, but in good spirits.

"It turned out to be 1918..."

The old man greeted Zhao Yu and the others with a smile on his face, then sat in front of the counter and carefully observed his watch with a magnifying glass.

"Well..." After observing for a long time, he nodded and said, "This is a good watch, it's a real thing. When my father opened a martial arts hall from Hongkou, there was a Japanese officer who gave him a piece, but my father has backbone and didn't want it!"

"Grandpa, cough cough..." The young man coughed dryly and said awkwardly, "You are wrong. My great-grandfather runs a watch shop, and Chen Zhen runs a martial arts school!"

"Oh, oh..." The old man smiled silly, "I know, just kidding, just kidding! Haha...

"Two distinguished guests," he said, pointing to the watch on the counter, "this watch should have a lot of origin! Those who own it must be either rich or noble!"

"Not a distinguished guest," the young man quickly corrected, "It's a police officer!"

"Then..." Zhao Yu asked hurriedly, "Can you know where to buy this kind of watch more than 30 years ago? Are there many people buying this kind of watch?"

"Well..." the old man stroked his beard and thought for a moment, and said, "This question is not easy to answer. Although this watch is valuable, it is not as expensive as that no one can afford to wear it!

"However, because of production and discontinuation, this type of watch is very rare, especially in our country! So, if you asked thirty years ago, it would definitely be impossible to buy it from the store!"

"Boss, you're asking this question very poorly!" Cui Lizhu stuck out her tongue, "Why must it be bought? Can't it be passed down from the ancestors?

"Because it is passed down from the ancestral age, it is put into the safe?"

"Yes, this granddaughter is right!" the old man said to Zhao Yuxiang kindly, "You have to tell me, what do you want to know? This guest official, oh no, this police officer?"

"Well, okay..." Since the case was not a top secret, Zhao Yu immediately told the matter of the safe, arm and watch with his grandparents and grandchildren.

"Wow!" The young man felt energetic when he heard this, "There is such a strange case? He was wearing a piece of 1918 on his arm? If this was on the news, it would definitely cause a sensation, right?"

"Why..." Choi Lizhu was curious, "You are more used to calling it 1918?"

"Because," said the young man, "this watch was produced in 1918, and it looked like five thousand yuan at that time! So it was called 1918!

"Look..." he pointed to the watch and said, "The words 1918 are engraved on the inner circle of the watch. This one was only available in that year. None of the ones produced later were valuable than the earliest batch!"

"The Bund has always been mixed with fish and dragons, and it is rented everywhere," the old man said, "so, it is natural that such watches are passed to the Magic City!

"This police officer," said the old man more objectively, "Actually, if you come to us, we can't help much. We can only tell you the value of this watch. As for helping you find the owner of this watch, that's impossible!"

"Yes, it's been more than thirty years!" said the young man, "Even if this kind of watch is rare, the magic city is so big that there is no way to know its origin!

"I want me to see," he picked up his phone and asked, "Why let the media expose it? Look for clues from the masses? Wouldn't that be a bigger chance?"

The young man's words happened to Zhao Yu's heart. This case is different from previous cases, and the police can collect clues from the public.

However, if it were someone else, it would be understandable to collect clues from the public, but for Zhao Yu, it would seem a bit of a loss.

This case is not urgent, and Zhao Yu doesn't want to startle the media too early.
