Picked up a queen at the start

Chapter 43 The Priceless Treasure
"Mr. Ji is being modest." With a chuckle, the middle-aged policeman stretched out his hand and said, "Liu Ming from the serious crime team of the police station, Mr. Ji just call me Old Liu."

"No, I'll call you Captain Liu." Ji Qinglin declined, and then said, "Does Captain Liu still need to do evidence collection?"

"According to the procedure, that's right."

Nodding his head, Liu Ming glanced into the house, saw the clothes drying on the balcony, and asked casually, "Does Mr. Ji live alone?"

"No, there is still my girlfriend, but she happened to be home today and is not here." Ji Qinglin replied calmly.

"That's it." Smiling, Liu Ming didn't think much about it, and then said, "Mr. Ji, I don't know what it was you were stolen from? I need to find out."

"After all, this matter is related to the punishment of the thief."

"Is that so..."

Ji Qinglin thought about it thoughtfully, said "wait a moment" and walked into the second bedroom.

……

In the bedroom, Xia Yao was sitting on the bed holding the Human Emperor.

Seeing Ji Qinglin come in, she got up quickly: "How is it? Has the matter been resolved?"

"Hush." ​​Signaling Xia Yao to be quiet, Ji Qinglin took the Emperor.

Glancing outside, he then whispered, "I'm going to the police station, which is your yamen."

After a pause in his voice, Ji Qinglin slowed down his voice, and comforted him with a light smile: "I'll be fine, you wait for me at home, I'll be back soon."

"..."

The phoenix eyes drooped, and a look of worry flashed across Xia Yao's eyes.

She would love to go along.

But after thinking about what Ji Qinglin said before, she nodded and said: "Then you have to come back as soon as possible."

"Don't worry." He comforted Xia Yao again, and Ji Qinglin took the Renhuang sword together and quickly followed Liu Ming to leave. .

Hearing the sound of closing the door, Xia Yao hesitated for a moment, then gently pushed open the door of the second bedroom.

She took a sneak peek outside to make sure there was no one outside, so she came out
"..."

Quietly staring at the door, she walked slowly to the sofa and sat down.

I don't know if I'm used to two people staying together.

Now that Ji Qinglin is not here, she always feels that the room is a bit empty.

"You'll be fine..."

Muttering to herself, thinking of Ji Qinglin's advice, Xia Yao shrank back on the sofa, stared at the clock, and began counting the time until Ji Qinglin came back.

……

At the same time, Ji Qinglin followed Liu Ming into the police car.

Half an hour later, accompanied by Liu Ming and another young policeman, he stood at the gate of the police station for the first time in his life.

On the white building that exudes a sense of austerity, there are white characters on a blue background, and "public security", "police" and police badges are prominently installed.

"Let's go."

After waving to Ji Qinglin, Liu Ming calmly walked at the front.

Along the way, many policemen greeted him.

It wasn't until the two came to the inquiry room and closed the door that the surroundings became completely quiet.

After pouring Ji Qinglin a glass of water, Liu Ming put the interrogation transcript on the table and sat down opposite him.

"Mr. Ji, don't be nervous, I'll just ask a few simple questions."

"Okay." After taking a sip of water, Ji Qinglin conveniently put the Emperor aside.

After glancing at Renhuang, Liu Ming asked curiously, "Is this an ancient sword?"

"Well, that's right, my grandfather said it was passed down from my ancestors." Ji Qinglin replied without blushing.

"It should be what the thief wants to steal, right? Can I take a look, I need to take a photo for proof." Liu Ming said again.

Nodding, Ji Qinglin happily handed over the Human Emperor to Liu Ming.

Feeling the weight in his hand, Liu Ming stroked the ornamentation on the scabbard, and couldn't help feeling: "This sword is so delicately made, it must be worth a lot of money, right?"

"Well, that's right." Ji Qinglin nodded.

The more Liu Ming watched it, the more he liked it, and asked casually with a light smile, "How much is it worth?"

"This..." After serious thinking for a moment, Ji Qinglin hesitated and said, "Seven to eighty million? Maybe hundreds of millions. Because this sword is Renhuang, one of the ten famous swords of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, not an ordinary ancient sword."

"???"

Hearing this number, Liu Ming's eyes widened.

How many?

Seventy-eight million?

Hundreds of millions?

Did you hear it right?

Gudong swallowed his saliva, Liu Ming looked at the Emperor in his hand in disbelief, and cried out in his heart.

This value was really beyond his expectation.

"It's... really valuable, no wonder those thieves wanted to steal it." Once his throat was dry, Liu Ming shook his head with emotion.

Hearing this, Ji Qinglin smiled and said, "I would say the price is low. After all, it is considered a priceless treasure. No one can say for sure how much it is worth."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Liu Ming took a deep breath, got up and carefully put the Emperor back on the table.

During the whole process, he was afraid of bumping into Renhuang's scabbard, so he wished he could just find a pillow to cover it.

After all, with this knock, his salary for the rest of his life might be wiped out.

No.

It might not be enough to pay him all.

It wasn't until the priceless treasure lay back on the table that Liu Ming barely heaved a sigh of relief, and then looked at Ji Qinglin solemnly.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Ji's antique shop is not big, and the treasures in the shop are not simple.

The saying that a person should not be judged by his appearance is perfect for him.

This time, the thief was killed.

With a smile in his heart, Liu Ming glanced at the small book in his hand, and continued: "Mr. Ji, since the other party has such a clear goal of stealing your sword, then the other party should have seen this sword before."

"For foreigners... I don't know if you have thought of anyone?"

"I guessed two similar people."

Thinking of Jess and Aria, Ji Qinglin frowned and said, "Two foreigners came to my shop during the day to ask me to help restore antiques, and then they took a fancy to my sword."

"He asked me to sell it to him, but I didn't."

After thinking for a while, Ji Qinglin shook his head and smiled, "I just can't figure it out, that foreigner is too stupid to call the thief, and he doesn't even know how to find someone who can speak Mandarin better."

"Forehead……"

Hearing Ji Qinglin's ridicule, Liu Ming was helpless.

He really wanted to say that the foreigner was really not to blame for this matter.

That thief's skill is not bad, if he hadn't met Ji Qinglin, a practicing family, he might not have been caught.

If you can't catch him, the foreigner who hired him will naturally not be exposed.

Who made the thief unlucky and provoked someone who couldn't be provoked? Not only was he exposed, but he was also beaten up.

It is estimated that the foreigner did not expect it.

The shopkeeper he wanted to steal turned out to be a very skilled master. .
"Mr. Ji, do you still remember what those two foreigners looked like?"

According to the procedure, Liu Ming continued to ask.

Ji Qinglin thought for a while, and said: "A man and a woman, the man looks about 1.8 meters five, and the woman is not short, looks about 1.7 meters?"

"The man has light blond hair and blue eyes. The woman... also has light blond hair and gray eyes."
