At three in the afternoon, a watch shop near Town God's Temple is in Shanghai.
The name of the watch shop is Hendry. It is said to be a century old shop.
The store is full of ancient charm, as if it had gone through time and space and returned to the Pentium era.
There is a wind chime at the door. As soon as the door is opened, the wind chime makes a nice crisp sound.
Zhao Yu and Cui Lizhu walked into the watch shop one after another. They saw a lot of clocks in the shop, just like entering a museum.
However, the owner of the watch shop is a young man, who even makes Zhao Yuyu feel that he has come to the wrong place.
At the moment, the young man was playing with his mobile phone. When he heard a guest come in, he asked without lifting his eyelids: "do you want to repair a watch or buy a watch?
"If it's a watch repair, just put it on the counter!" He tapped the counter gently. "If you buy a watch, please look at it yourself!"
"Hehe," Cui Lizhu stuck out her tongue, "shake hands, shopkeeper!"
"You're right, ha ha..." the young man glanced at Cui Lizhu. "My father has repaired his watch. I just watch the shop!"
"Get..." Cui Lizhu pouted and shook her head at Zhao Yu. It obviously meant that she came at the wrong time.
However, Zhao Yu did not affect her mood. Instead, she took out the diamond inlaid watch taken off half of her arm and put it in front of the young man's face.
Originally, young people were playing games, but after looking at the famous watch, their eyes suddenly lit up:
"Wow!" He sighed in surprise, "1918 Santa Da Norway, this is! Local tyrants, you!? "
"Oh?" Cui Lizhu suddenly came to the spirit, "do you know this watch?"
"Of course, we are an aristocratic family!" The young man finally put down his cell phone, carefully observed the watch and said, "where did you get it? This kind of watch is very rare! "
"Is it valuable?" In her professional habits, Cui Lizhu asked the price as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Diamond inlaid," the young man took a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully. "If it's all true, our small shop can't afford it!
"Wow," the young man exclaimed, "it's really 1918! This is not a replica, it's a genuine Santa Fe Norway! "
"Are you sure?" Cui Lizhu asked, "you're so sure. Have you seen it before?"
"Yes, yes," the young man nodded. "There was a watch exhibition a few years ago. I saw it at the exhibition!"
"Young man," said Zhao Yu, "tell us the origin of this watch!"
"Well... You... You..." the young man asked curiously, "what do you mean, do you want me to identify it, or... Want to entrust us to find a buyer?"
"Identify it first!" In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhao Yu directly took out her certificate and showed her identity. "This watch is related to an open case! I hope you can help us... "
"Ah?" The young man seldom dealt with police officers. He immediately panicked and said, "I... I'll call my father now!
"HMM... wait... Wait..." who knows, after he picked up his cell phone, he suddenly remembered something and quickly turned and ran upstairs, "I... I'd better call my grandpa!"
A few minutes later, the young man helped down an old man with a white beard from upstairs. The old man looked almost 90. He was bent with a leading crutch, but he was hale and hearty.
"It was 1918..."
The old man greeted Zhao Yu with a smile, then sat in front of the counter and carefully observed his watch with a magnifying glass.
"Hmm..." after observing for a long time, he nodded and said, "this watch is good. It's real. When my father opened a martial arts school from Hongkou, a Japanese officer also gave him a piece. However, my father has backbone and doesn't want it!"
"Grandpa, cough..." the young man coughed and said awkwardly, "you're wrong. My grandfather runs a watch shop and Chen Zhen runs a martial arts school!"
"Oh, oh..." the old man smiled, "I know, just kidding, just kidding! Hehe
"Two distinguished guests," he said, pointing to the watch on the counter, "this watch should have a long history! Those who own it must be rich or expensive! "
"It's not a distinguished guest," the young man corrected quickly. "It's a police officer!"
"Well..." Zhao Yu asked hurriedly, "do 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 so expensive that no one can afford to wear it!
"However, due to production and shutdown, this kind of watch is very rare, especially in our country! So, if you were asking thirty years ago, it would be impossible to buy it from the store! "
"Boss, you're not good at asking this question!" Cui Lizhu stuck out her tongue. "Why must she have bought it? Can't it be ancestral?
"Because it's ancestral, so it's put in the safe?"“ Yes, the granddaughter is right! " The old man said kindly to Zhao Yu, "you have to tell me what you really want to know? My guest, oh, no, this officer? "“ Well, ok... "Because the case was not top secret, Zhao Yu immediately told her grandparents about the safe, arm and watch“ WOW! " As soon as the young man heard it, he came to the spirit, "is there such a wonderful case? On the arm, wearing a 1918? If this is on the news, it will certainly cause a sensation? "“ Why... "Cui Lizhu wondered," are you more used to calling it 1918? "“ Because, "said the young man," this watch was produced in 1918. It looked like 5000 yuan at that time! So it's called 1918“ You see... "He pointed to the watch and said," the words 1918 are engraved on the inner ring of the watch. This is only available in that year. The later reproduction has no value of the first batch! "“ The Bund has always been a mixture of good and bad people, and there are rentals everywhere, "the old man said." so it's natural for this kind of watch to spread to the devil“ Officer, "the old man said objectively," in fact, we can't help you much if you come to us. We can only tell you the value of this watch. It's impossible to help you find the owner of this watch! "“ Yes, more than thirty years! " The young man said, "even if this kind of watch is rare, the demons are so big that there is no way to know its origin“ Let me see, "he picked up his cell phone and suggested," why don't you let the media expose it? Looking for clues from the crowd? Wouldn't that be a better chance? " The young man's words just came to Zhao Yu's heart. This case is different from previous cases. The police can collect clues from the public. However, if someone else were to collect clues from the public, it would be understandable, but for Zhao Yu, it would be a bit down. The case is not urgent. Zhao Yu doesn't want to disturb the media too early. In addition, through the conversation with the grandparents and grandchildren, it seems that there is no harvest. However, Zhao Yu feels that there seems to be something that has attracted his attention!
