Chapter 4: The Real Thing and the Weird Kid

For about two minutes, Qin Xiaoxia's mind was full of thoughts like "Is it a gold coin? Is it a gold coin?"

Then I realized it.

This thing was taken out from under my pillow!

Obviously, it is impossible for him to put it there by himself, and it is even more impossible for it to be put there by Old Man Qin. Moreover, the pillowcase and sheets were changed only a few days ago, so they must have been put there recently, and there is a 90% chance that it was put there last night!

Thinking of this, Qin Xiaoxia shuddered again suddenly, not sure if it was because of the coldness in his body or his mental trembling.

He quickly went back to the bed and put on his clothes, then walked around the room checking every corner, and then checked the doors and windows one by one.

Basically, the house was locked last night, and there was no sign that anyone had come in from outside.

'Unless it's not a human at all!'

“Hiss~~”

As he inhaled, a more violent shiver went from his feet to his head.

However, the self-created sense of terror only lasted for a few seconds before it was broken by the heavy gold in his hand.

"If it's really gold coins, it doesn't seem bad..."

At noon, the workers who installed the cameras arrived, and the door lock had been changed in the morning.

Qin Xiaoxia sounds nice, but his actions are honest.

No one wants someone to break into their home at any time, so in this case, it is necessary to install a camera to take pictures.

Besides, many horror movies are just staged. Cameras and video cameras can capture dirty things. No matter how fake it is, it can at least provide some comfort.

The monitoring system is much cheaper than expected. Including the installation fee of the workers, three cameras only cost a thousand dollars, which is completely affordable.

After everything was over, I ordered a pizza takeout and was struggling with a question while eating.

This thing feels like a gold coin and looks like a gold coin. Should I find a professional to appraise it?

He also tried several identification methods found on the Internet, and found only a slight difference in the softness and hardness of the texture. However, it might also be that he was afraid of using too much force and damaging the beauty of the "gold coin".

After all, what if it is an antique? There are also gold alloys.

But problems also arose.

You said that if this gold coin is stolen property, and it is possible that the donor is looking for it or has reported it to the police, then if you take it for identification yourself, wouldn't you be cheated by that damn thief?

Yellow mud falling on the crotch of your pants, even if it is explained clearly in the end, it is still a stain on your life!

In his heart, Qin Xiaoxia had actually already largely determined that this was the gold coin, and he definitely wanted to take it for himself.

If you pick up a wallet on the street, you might want to return it to the owner, but this one fell out from under your pillow, so there is no way I can refuse it!

I searched the Internet for countless places where gold or antiques were stolen, and also checked the Ministry of Public Security website to see if there were any similar wanted notices, but found nothing.

After lunch, Qin Xiaoxia, who had a mentality as tough as a cat's paw, couldn't hold back his desire and decided to find a pawn shop to have it appraised.

An hour and a half later, in Kehua District, more than ten kilometers away from Qingzhen, there was a regular pawnshop.

The middle-aged appraiser looked at the gold coin for a long time, using a magnifying glass to look at the text and a small flashlight to illuminate the pattern. This greatly boosted Qin Xiaoxia's confidence.

Although I am a layman, I understand that in the hands of professionals, it is easy to judge whether gold is real or fake, and fakes generally do not require so much time to look at other things.

After waiting for a long time, I finally saw the appraiser named Lu put down his tools and played with the gold coins in his hand with some reluctance.

"Mr. Qin, this is a real gold coin. It is not made with ordinary pure gold forging technology. It should be a special alloy that makes the gold coin very bright and increases its hardness. However, the gold content is definitely more than 18K."

"Oh, that's good, that's good!"

Qin Xiaoxia now has a smile on his face and in his heart.

"Mr. Qin, excuse me, where did you get this gold coin?"

Qin Xiaoxia's heart skipped a beat and he asked a question carefully.

"What's wrong? I found it in my late grandfather's box."

The person in the appraisal room had obviously seen a lot of things and waved his hands.

"Mr. Qin, please don't get me wrong. It's not that there's anything wrong with this gold coin, but I don't recognize the words on it!"

"Foreign characters, can you recognize all of them?"

Qin Xiaoxia made a joke to the appraiser with a relaxed look on his face.

"Mr. Qin is right and wrong. I can't possibly know all the characters in the world, but as an identification practitioner, I am sure I can recognize which character it is. However, I have never seen this kind of character. It is either not a character but just a special pattern, or it has never been discovered before."

At this point, the appraisal room also laughed. The lines of this gold coin are delicate and novel, and with the alloy craftsmanship, it is most likely a modern self-made product. It is probably a fancy creative seal engraving. He is very curious about the craftsman who can cast such a gold coin.

Unfortunately, the guest named Qin didn't seem to want to say anything.

"Mr. Qin, if you want to sell it, we will buy it by weight at the current domestic retail price of gold, or you can let us sell it on your behalf. What do you think?"

Generally, people who take things to a pawn shop definitely have some intention of selling them, but Qin Xiaoxia had no plans to sell them for the time being, so he said he would think about it and then left the pawn shop.

Not long after he walked out the door, the text message alert sounded in his pocket. He took out his phone and subconsciously clicked it to check.

It was an advertisement for phone bill discounts, but when I was about to put the phone back into my pocket, I caught a glimpse of the newly installed real-time monitoring software on the screen.

For a moment, the urge to click and take a look was irresistible.

It was just a little bit of traffic anyway, so Qin Xiaoxia, who was excited, immediately clicked on the monitoring.

After loading the connection for more than ten seconds, the monitoring image was imported into the mobile phone screen in three split screens.

Real-time images at the entrance, living room and kitchen came into view.

"Fuck the grass!"

The moment the picture became clear, Qin Xiaoxia couldn't help but swear.

Because the surveillance screen in the living room showed a person who looked like a child walking around.

"Nimma, there really is one! And he's just a kid!"

Originally, I just planned to check out the surveillance effect this time, and I didn’t have any psychological preparation to see the "thief", but I didn’t expect to win the prize in one try.

The child was wearing a strange grey hat, which looked like a worn-out grey version of a Christmas hat, and the clothes he was wearing looked dirty and had no style.

He was barefoot, and the skin color of his exposed arms and feet seemed a little strange, perhaps because they were too dirty, or maybe it was a problem with the camera clarity, anyway, it was a little gray.

His face couldn't be seen because he didn't look up to face the camera and because of the hat.

This guy was wandering around Qin Xiaoxia's living room, jumping onto the sofa and crawling under the table, having a lot of fun by himself.

After a while, he walked out of the surveillance range of the living room, but immediately appeared in the kitchen again.

Just when Qin Xiaoxia was wondering, the little thief nervously touched the refrigerator, then quickly jumped away.

That jump was at least one and a half meters, which was quite amazing considering his small body looked on the screen.

"What's going on? Is there a power failure in the refrigerator?"

This action made Qin Xiaoxia forget the hateful nature of the thief for a moment and wonder what he was doing.

Ten seconds later, the thief approached the refrigerator cautiously again and poked the door twice with his dirty hands. When he saw no response, he boldly stood in front of the refrigerator.

Qin Xiaoxia became even more confused. What on earth was this guy doing?

I was so curious that I forgot to call the police.

After waiting for almost a minute, just when Qin Xiaoxia was about to lose his patience, the thief seemed to muster up his courage, pulled the refrigerator door with both hands and opened it.

The thief himself jumped a greater distance.

"Where did this guy come from? Are you afraid of refrigerators?"

As soon as this doubt arose, Qin Xiaoxia saw that the thief seemed to have quickly adjusted his state. He walked to the refrigerator and took out his leftover pizza.

He picked up a piece and placed it in front of him, probably to smell it. Then half a minute later, the thief quickly ate all the remaining pizza in front of Qin Xiaoxia's dumbfounded eyes, and did not forget to put the box back into the refrigerator.

It seemed that he was very hungry, which made Qin Xiaoxia feel a little sympathetic. He even wanted to call the police.

But the next moment, Qin Xiaoxia became angry again.

After the little thief finished his meal, he wandered around the kitchen for a while, then went into the bedroom. When he came out, he was holding something blue and black.

'Fuck, a thief stole my keyboard! Call the police!'

However, the anger only lasted less than 5 seconds, and Qin Xiaoxia's body froze.

He didn't know how this thief appeared out of nowhere before, but now he understood, because after the thief hid the keyboard under the refrigerator, he disappeared.

It just disappeared into the air, without any smoke effect or teleportation special effect. It disappeared so suddenly, as if it had never existed.

"Fuck! Is this really a ghost?!"

How can I call the police? Tell them that my house is haunted and that the ghost likes to hide things every now and then for me to find?

Well, by the way, I also gave myself a gold coin as a reward.

Thinking of this, Qin Xiaoxia was stunned again. He found a corner on the roadside to stop and quietly took out the gold coin to look at it.

There is something enchanting about the gold coins shining in the sun.

It feels like this little thief is just playing with me, and then rewarding me after he’s done?

It seems like there's no malicious intent in this, it's actually a bit cute!

Qin Xiaoxia immediately came to his senses. Can a ghost eat his own pizza? Anyway, he has never seen such a thing in so many supernatural movies and rumors.

Originally, Qin Xiaoxia was already afraid to go home, but now, for some unknown reason, he wanted to go home immediately.

Perhaps, in essence, I have a soul that pursues uniqueness and excitement.
