Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 279 Accident
As a famous gambling city, Las Vegas has gathered a large number of wealthy people, and under such circumstances, there will naturally be a large number of luxury stores opened here.

For example, jewelry brands such as Cartier, Tiffany, and Chaumet, as well as luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and Dior, have everything that one expects to find. In addition to specialty stores, each store has also set up shops in some hotels and shopping malls. .

In addition to these world-renowned big brands, there are also many small businesses that provide rare luxury goods for the rich and also take root in this city, such as catering, car decoration, personal belongings decoration and a series of businesses related to the rich.

And this harp antique shop is one of these small and micro businesses that provide services to the rich, and the Pierce family has provided various antiques to each other since Pierce's father's generation, so the two parties have also established friendship.

Because it is a high-end private store, the location of the store is naturally not on the street.I saw the taxi passing through the busy Las Vegas Boulevard, and then came to a small road with few people.

This two-lane road, known as the Cactus Path, is lined with shops that don't look large in size, but can be said to be quite distinctive in terms of decoration style.

The harp antique shop that Liang En and the others were looking for this time was on this slightly deserted street, and its appearance looked like ancient Rome.

After getting closer, Liang En found that the pillars and sculptures were not made of cheap plaster or even fiberglass like common shops with similar decorations, but were all carved from a kind of delicate white marble.

"This marble sculpture costs thousands or even tens of thousands of pounds." Pierce said looking at the one-to-one sculpture of Venus with a broken arm, "but considering the identity of the customer, this kind of expenditure is obviously appropriate."

"It seems that we are unlucky. The store is closed today." Just as Fan Meng walked to the door, he suddenly pointed to the closed sign hanging in the glass door and shook his head.

"Closed? It's impossible." Hearing what Fan Meng said, Pierce immediately walked to the door of the store, staring at the sign and frowning. "I just contacted you when I got off the plane. If the business is really closed, you should call me."

"Then there is a high probability that something happened here." Hearing what Pierce said, several other people immediately became nervous.Because they have seen this situation many times in movies or TV, and there are no good results.

Knowing that standing at the door of the shop at this time might lead to some worse situations, Liang En and the others quickly left the door of the shop and Pierce called again.

"The phone got through, but no one answered." After making a few calls, Pierce said to Liang En and the others. "And when calling his home, his wife said that Mr. Nell had come over early in the morning—"

"Then hurry up and call the police." Pierce Liang En, who looked a little flustered, said immediately. "Obviously something has happened to that Mr. Nell."

"Yes, yes, I'll call now." Seeing the calm Liang En, Pierce quickly recovered and called the police.

I have to say that the Las Vegas police acted very quickly. After only 3 minutes, a patrol car drove over, and then two policemen walked into the store with guns raised.Soon, an ambulance also came and carried two people from the store on a stretcher.

"The shop was robbed, Uncle Nell was shot in the abdomen, and his clerk was shot in the chest, both of them are now unconscious and sent to the rescue."

Because it was the police who called the police, Pierce was quickly pulled by the two policemen for questioning, and taking this opportunity, he also asked clearly what happened here before.

"According to the police, it was a premeditated robbery as nothing else in the room was touched except for a hidden under-floor safe that was opened, but what was missing from it may not have been until Uncle Nell came to his senses. We'll find out later."

"It seems that our luck is really bad this time." Liang En shook his head after hearing what Pierce said. "It's amazing that someone can encounter such a thing."

"Then what should we do next." Joan of Arc asked at this time, "Should we go back to the hotel now and wait for the people here to rescue us?"

"No, of course not. During this period of time, we can go to other warehouses first." Liang En shook his head lightly, then opened a file on his phone and said. "I did some homework before."

After a short discussion, everyone agreed, and then took a taxi to a storage company called Gold Coast on the outskirts of the city.

Unlike the dusty large warehouses that Liang En and the others had seen before, most of the local warehouses were mainly small and micro warehouses for tourists.

And the kind of habitual Chinese people who follow the group to take pictures and check in at many places.The way of traveling is different. People in Europe and the United States prefer to stay in a certain place for a long time when they are on vacation, and enjoy life slowly.

And that's why Liang En and the others had kitchen utensils in the hotel rooms they stayed in before, because for those family members who are on vacation, cooking by themselves is obviously much more economical than eating in a restaurant.

Since those tourists will live in the destination for a period of time, they often bring a lot of belongings, and storing them in a warehouse is obviously a good choice.

Because the customers are mainly tourists, many local storage companies do not accept long-term leases, but short-term leases of about one month.

For the same reason, the renewal retention period of the local warehouse is not one month or even three months like those warehouses that Liang En and the others have visited before, but is often shortened to three days or even a week.

"A total of 35 warehouses are auctioned today, [-] of which are micro warehouses of less than [-] square meters, and the other five are small warehouses of [-] to [-] square meters." Liang En said after glancing at the announcement at the warehouse door.

"The local warehouses are almost like this. After all, although people who come to travel will bring some things, they can't bring too much. At least I haven't seen a traveler take a truckload of things to travel." Pierce shrugged.

"However, relatively speaking, it is difficult to find really old things in this kind of warehouse, so it is also good to participate in this kind of auction to pass the time."

After walking into the warehouse area, Liang En found that there were a lot of treasure hunters competing here. Except for some professionals, at least half of them should be tourists looking for excitement.

Since this warehousing company is mainly engaged in the business of temporarily storing luggage for tourists, it basically does not have too many valuable things, and basically does not have much connection with the local outlaws.

Therefore, this storage company has naturally become a good place for many tourists to come to experience the warehouse auction, but also because of their existence, the professionals who come to the auction here are basically poor-pocketed rookies.

"Okay, it's time, let's start." Within a few minutes, an auctioneer and six security guards came over, and then announced the details of the auction to everyone.
