Chapter 112 "The Value of Art" Part II
When I closed the rolling door of the store, three people looked at me in surprise.

One of them said to me: "Boss Qiao, what are you doing?"

I grabbed the bench beside me and said nothing.

One of the three people took two steps back in a daze and slowly fell to the ground. The remaining two were facing each other and began to lose their balance.

The two glanced at the people on the ground, and one started shouting.

The other one ran towards the back room behind the store.

I took a few steps up and knocked him unconscious with a bench.

He glanced at the purple bruise on his head, sniffed, then got up and walked towards the back room.

He quickly walked into the room, and at this time, the person who ran into the room also fell to the ground.

Dragging all three of them to a small room at the back of the store.

I rummaged through their clothes and found three cell phones and three wallets.

I piled my cell phone wallet together and turned off all three phones.

Three thick hemp ropes tied them tightly with their hands and feet.

Three benches were backed into a triangle, tying them all up.

They were tied to a stool together, and three more towels were found to stuff all three of their mouths.

I waited for almost seven or eight hours for them to wake up.

During this period, I was also quite panicked and would feel my breath every half an hour.

Especially the one whose head was hit by me, I took out the purple potion and gave him a simple treatment.

The three of them woke up one after another, but it was difficult to see each other because of the angle.

The three of them began to hesitate nervously and make small shouts.

I pulled out the towel from one of the people's mouths and said, "Answer whatever I say, otherwise don't blame me for doing anything."

The one who could speak was stunned for a moment, and then he yelled and I slapped him away.

"The soundproofing here is very good. Every word is a slap. You will see which one comes first, the neighbors and the police, or the one whose face deforms first." I said.

"Qiao...Boss Qiao, what are you doing...We have no grudges against you, right? We don't have any money. If you let us go, we won't call the police if we go out..." The one who can speak He said hesitantly.

I shook my head and slapped me again and said, "I'll answer whatever you ask. Don't say any more words. I'll let you go after I've asked you. You can rest assured."

"You... do you mean what you say?" the one who could speak cried.

I slapped my face again, sighed and said, "Why does Beijing TV have a program called Treasure Appraisal? Why are the pottery I sold to you being sold on this program?"

The one who could speak kept crying, while the one beside him was hesitating and shaking his head.

I removed the towel from his mouth.

"You sold it to us, and of course we have the right to sell it a second time. If you say it's because the price above is unreasonable compared to what you sold it to us in the first place, just say it, but it's a crime for you to arrest us like this." The one who took off the towel said immediately.

I smiled and said: "Why are you anxious before I finish? I think you have watched that show. It has nothing to do with me who you buy and sell to, but why does a man who calls himself Jock say that the thing is his?" I did it. What I want to ask is what happened to this Jock, this person pretending to be me?"

The originally confident person stopped talking.

The one who was crying said in tears: "These are all our boss's ideas, and we don't know... We are only responsible for collecting treasures from everywhere, and our boss... really likes your things."

I thought about it and said, "Are you saying you don't know?"

The three of them almost all nodded their heads.

I took out the business card in my pocket and said, "I went to the TV station to check the producer of the show. Why did the producer's phone number they gave me also belong to you?"

The three of them remained silent for the next moment.

"You have a chance now to tell me what all this is about. Either you wait here to die, I won't give you anything to eat," I said.

The three of them still didn't say a word at this time.I said, "What? Your boss is very powerful? So powerful that he is bigger than life?"

The third of the three was now shaking his head.

I also untied the white cloth from his mouth.

He coughed twice and said: "We don't know much about this matter. We are only responsible for purchasing the collection. We can give you the boss's address, but you must let us go. And you can't say that we told you, okay? ?”

I said, "That's okay, but you have to make sure you tell the truth."

"He usually only goes to the company once a month. His first villa in Area A of Ouyue Jingyuan belongs to him. We are responsible for collecting antiques and running the operations. We don't make any money, so he relies on channels to make money. Your hand is a thousand times more profit." One of the three people said.

"So who else is in his family?" I said.

"My wife, nanny and children, by the way, he also goes fishing in Shangzhuang Reservoir every month." Another one of the three said.

"What's the specific time?" I said.

"Boss Qiao, you are going to make trouble for him, right? We don't like our boss, so you can rest assured. He told us that we can tell you when he wants to go, but when he goes, the time is really not fixed. "

"It's nothing to cause trouble. I just want to know the truth. This is why I caught you here. Your boss is next," I said.

"We can really help you. His activities and connections are very deep. We employees really don't know about it." One of the three said.

I turned around and opened their wallet, took out all their ID cards and bank cards and said, "I will keep these things first, and I'm not afraid of you re-approving them or even calling the police. Since you all said that there is a big door inside, then your boss should also I don’t want to be exposed. You guys tell me when your boss goes fishing and when you come to get these things back.”

After I finished speaking, I slowly walked over and untied the first person.

He stood up weakly and said: "Boss Qiao, don't worry. We won't betray you, but you can't betray us either."

I said, "Go out one by one. You should get dressed first and go out."

He slowly walked aside, put on his clothes, picked up his wallet and cell phone and walked out.

I followed and watched him open the store and walk out, then watched him close the store again.

I unlocked the second one and followed the same pattern to the third one.

Watching them all leave the store, I opened the store door.

Looking at the three people standing in the distance, the three people looked at me and their bodies were shaking.

I made a gesture of making a phone call, and almost all three of them nodded.

I called the glasses the next day to explain the situation, and he told me not to be so impulsive.

After making the call, I smashed my phone angrily.

I had no choice but to buy a Nokia smartphone.

Four days later, three people showed up at my store door.

Two people pushed one in, and the other two stood at the door waiting.

The person who came in said nervously: "The boss told us today that we will go fishing tomorrow."

"Rain or shine?" I said.

"If it rains, we won't go. No matter how bright the sun is, we will go. This is what our boss looks like." The man took out his mobile phone, and a fat man appeared on the screen as big as a palm.

I looked at my phone and silently memorized the appearance.

"Then he has a Hutou Ben. All the fishing tools are in the back compartment. The car is a Jing A and all are Qi, and people will not be too far away from the car." The person said.

I took out the bank cards and ID cards of the three people in the small cabinet.

The man put it away and said: "Boss Qiao, just ask questions and vent your anger. Don't kill anyone. And it's best to wear a mask and hide your identity."

I nodded my head and said, "Be careful."
