Chapter 104: The business is quite extensive
Lin Chuxia returned to the guesthouse and took out the things she had bought.
There is no woman who doesn't like jewelry. Lin Chuxia likes Chinese dresses very much and has done some research on these accessories.
The jadeite bracelet is very watery. A jade bracelet of this quality would cost at least six figures in later generations. Although a ruby bracelet is a little inferior, it would at least start at five figures.
She couldn't identify the ring. The traditional Chinese characters inside were too small to make out what they said. It looked simple and mysterious.
Often the value of such things is even more difficult to estimate.
I didn't expect to gain such a lot from this trip. It's really a big profit.
Putting the things directly into the space, seeing that it was getting late, Lin Chuxia ate and drank her fill and took a hot bath before going to bed comfortably.
I had a dreamless night. The next day, after washing up and having breakfast, I checked out and went to the train station.
The train was delayed yesterday, so I have to buy a new ticket today.
Unfortunately, I didn’t buy a sleeper ticket.
Lin Chuxia turned around with the ticket in her hand and saw a familiar figure not far away. When she wanted to see more clearly, she saw only swaying figures. Where was the familiar figure?
She thought she was seeing things and didn't take it to heart.
The first train took more than 8 hours, and I changed to the second train in the afternoon.
This train obviously has a lot more people than the previous one, it's almost packed with people, and pickpockets are most rampant at times like these.
Lin Chuxia had already put all her things into the space at the guesthouse. She was only carrying an empty suitcase in her hand, and her bag was also a dangling one. Apart from a bottle filled with spiritual spring water, there were only a few meat buns and tea eggs.
Even if she really encountered a thief, there was nothing on her that could be stolen.
Just as I was thinking this, I saw a flash of light in front of me, and a bald man carrying luggage squeezed past, and a few meters behind him was a thin man.
Lin Chuxia narrowed her eyes. It seemed that she was not wrong when she bought the ticket at the train station just now.
At this moment, a cry came from not far away, "My wallet is gone, my wallet was stolen by a thief, everyone hurry up and catch the thief, that's the money I used to pay for my child's medical treatment, who is the thief... this is going to kill us..."
An older sister was shouting and looking around. Amid her crying and accusations, a plain-looking man walked quickly through the crowd with his head lowered.
Even though they knew he might be a thief, the passengers in the car tried to avoid him for fear of being contaminated, and some even took the initiative to make way for him.
Lin Chuxia frowned slightly, and just when she wanted to step forward to help, a tall man grabbed the man's wrist.
Of course the opponent would not surrender, but it only took two moves for him to pin him down on the car.
"What are you doing? Are you hitting someone in broad daylight? Are there any laws?"
The elder sister also chased after him, thanked the man profusely, raised her hand and slapped the thief twice, "Give me back my money, you damn thief, give me back my money..."
The man was pinned down and could hardly speak. "Who is the thief? How can you just frame a good person? If you keep doing this, I will call the police."
When he said this, the man who was controlling him also hesitated, "Sister, are you sure he stole your money?"
The eldest sister still looked angry, "It was him. When I found out the money was gone, I saw him sneaking into the crowd. Who else could it be but him?"
At this moment, a train conductor came to maintain order. Knowing that they had caught a thief, he took it very seriously. But when he heard the other party say that he was not a thief, he didn't know what to do for a moment as they were arresting people indiscriminately.
In order to prove his innocence, the man turned out all his pockets for everyone to see, and even took out his only luggage, a torn bag, for the eldest sister to look through.
The eldest sister was so upset that she was shocked and found that there was no money she lost at all.
"You must have hidden the money. Where did you hide it for me?"
The man spread his hands innocently, looking at the conductor with a bit of grievance, "How would I know where you put your money? I was walking peacefully, but was beaten up by this man, and she even accused me of being a thief. Who can I go to for justice?"
Without solid evidence, even though everyone knew that thieves on trains usually worked in gangs, there was nothing they could do about the man in front of them.
The elder sister's money was indeed lost, so the conductor had to take both the elder sister and the man to the train police for interrogation.
Everyone's eyes were focused on a few people, but Lin Chuxia walked through the crowd, went straight to a man, and patted him casually.
The man was enjoying the fun, and when someone patted his shoulder, he said in dissatisfaction, "Who is it..."
When he saw Lin Chuxia, his expression changed, "Little...little aunt, why are you here?"
As he spoke, he touched the bald man next to him, and the bald man's expression tightened when he saw Lin Chuxia.
They are obviously two grown men, but now they are behaving like primary school students.
It was the bald man and the monkey who had snatched Lin Chuxia in Ancheng County.
It’s just that there were three people that day, but now there are only Baldy and Monkey, and the ruffian is not here.
Lin Chuxia raised her chin towards the crowd and said, "Are you in the same group? You have quite a wide range of business." They all came to the Northwest.
The man, who was already nervous, suddenly changed his expression.
"No... No, we don't know them."
"Really, we're just here to watch the fun."
"Yes, auntie, we have turned over a new leaf, really, and we have never committed a crime again since that day."
"Look at the two of us now. If we were still in this business, would we be in such a miserable situation?"
One of them was wearing a half-new, worn-out jacket, and the other was wearing a faded Mao suit. They looked quite shabby indeed, and were very different from the image of the second-rate guy in the flowered shirt and bell-bottom pants.
However, Lin Chuxia obviously didn't believe what these two people said, and her clothes didn't mean anything.
The bald man saw what Lin Chuxia was thinking, pulled her to his seat, and lowered his voice a bit.
"You don't know that we have our own rules in this industry. We won't cross the line easily. Even though we act arrogantly in Ancheng, we are not qualified to come to the railway. Even if you ask me to go, I wouldn't dare to do it."
The monkey nodded repeatedly. That's it.
Lin Chuxia had heard of this before, and it seemed that there was indeed such a rule. She asked again, "Then what are you doing in the northwest? You are not here to see the scenery, are you?"
The bald man and the monkey looked at each other and raised their chins. "You say."
The monkey rubbed his palms, as if it was difficult to say what was next.
"After returning from the city that day, Brother Liang and I discussed it and decided that we really didn't plan to continue doing this. To be honest, it's not easy for us to do this..."
Lin Chuxia glanced at him,
Those who steal things still complain that the industry is bad?
The monkey scratched his head in embarrassment. "It is true. No one is rich. If we fail to do it properly, like we did that day, we will be beaten. Besides, we will have a bad reputation if we do nothing all day. Our family will cut off all ties with us because of this."
