Chapter 92 It was definitely not stolen by me
The old man heard this and asked back with a vigilant look: "What do
you mean? How can it be the same as mine before? Of course, I can make a fake antique to deceive you?" "I swear to God, I don't know this buyer. If it is fake, how can he not see it? He is a big shot in the antique industry in our imperial capital, and his collection has been put on display in the National Museum."
Hearing this, Pei Zhiwan couldn't help laughing.
Idiot!
You confessed! Did
they say your antique is fake? They
said, don't let the antique thieves change it for you so that you can take a good look.
As a result, you actually thought that the antique you lost was fake. You
are actually upset.
This is a guilty conscience!
Pei Zhiwan's face became more interested.
Interesting, I didn't expect the villa to be so lively today, and all kinds of little ghosts came to report.
Looking at the live broadcast room, Di Chen also realized that something was wrong.
He calmly corrected the old man's misunderstanding.
"I mean, did the thief of this antique change it for you? If you don't look carefully, it will be too late to find out when you go back. I guess you didn't reach a deal with Mr. Qiu Wen, otherwise the antique would not have been lost in your hands, so you have to keep your eyes open."
Mr. Qiu Wen, a big shot in the antique world of the imperial capital, is a sage with extraordinary bearing.
He nodded slightly and replied: "Yes, when I saw the antiques before, they were indeed authentic and good things. It's just that the price this old man asked for was ridiculously high, and I recently received several large items and was short of funds, so I had to give it up."
Pei Zhiwan, who was watching the live broadcast, now had a better idea in his mind.
The live broadcast continued.
The old man bowed to Mr. Qiu apologetically and said, "I'm really sorry. The treasures passed down from my ancestors should not be resold. It's just that my family has changed and I urgently need a large amount of funds for turnover. I had to reluctantly give it up. I just hope to find someone who is willing to pay a high price and appreciate it."
Mr. Qiu nodded and smiled in understanding: "No problem, I am not the one destined to have it, naturally there are people who have a discerning eye for gold."
The old man bowed again, then looked at the police who delivered the antiques and asked: "Where did you find it? Who is the thief?"
The police pointed at the waiter who followed behind him and said, "We found it in her room."
The old man got angry again, "I told you, how could an outsider break into my room and steal treasures? I am having a private transaction and negotiation with Mr. Qiu here today, and there is absolutely no third person who would know about it. I believe in Mr. Qiu, and I believe in myself even more."
The waiter's face flushed, and he was full of grievance and anger.
"No, it was definitely not stolen by me. Although I am just a waiter, I come from an honest family and never do petty theft. Even if I am extremely poor, I insist on making money in a proper way. I don't know why the antiques are in my room. I have never seen any antiques at all."
The old man smiled coldly: "They were all found in your room. Can you still deny it? Then how can you prove that you didn't steal it?"
The waiter couldn't help crying. How could she prove it?
There is no surveillance in the guest room.
Otherwise, the guest will complain.
But without surveillance, if the guest falsely accuses her of stealing something, can she prove herself? She
can't clear herself even if she jumps into the Yellow River.
When the waiter cleans the room, they go in alone. There will never be two people together, wasting their labor.
Don't say that adults don't cry too much, they just haven't been heartbroken yet.
The waitress's crying made the old man insist that she stole it. Otherwise, why would he get emotional? He just needed to prove his innocence.
Pei Zhiwan was so angry that he laughed when he saw this. The old fox was clearly taking advantage of the lack of surveillance in the guest room to frame the waitress, so as to achieve the purpose of extorting money from the villa, causing the villa's customers to be disappointed and not come back.
Di Chen also saw that the waitress was really wronged, and was helpless and desperate.
He believed that his waitress was innocent, but he didn't know how to help her prove it. There was indeed no surveillance in the guest room, and he couldn't prove that she only entered the room to clean and would not touch the guests' belongings. This was the first and foremost hard rule for the villa to recruit waitresses.
Di Chen needed time to check the identity of the owner of the antique, so he could only resort to a delaying strategy.
"Old man, since the item has been found and you are sure it is the original, the villa will make a compensation plan for you tomorrow at noon. It is our fault that you had such an unpleasant experience in the villa. I believe we will take an attitude and actively correct and improve the management of the villa. I hope everyone will continue to support the villa and make it more and more like home."
Di Chen said this very sincerely.
It has always been his personality to admit his mistakes.
He also won applause from many people, saying that they would pay attention to the follow-up and continue to support.
Who would have thought that the old man would do something else and insisted that Di Chen come up with a compensation plan at this moment. He had things to deal with in the evening and had no time to wait.
Di Chen patiently explained to him that the villa needed to further understand the truth of the matter and cooperate with the police to take notes and file a case. They would handle it as they wished. As for the villa's compensation, it was only the villa's decision, which was not the same as the police's handling plan.
Therefore, he needed to wait until tomorrow and come up with a plan after discussion at the board of directors.
If you are in a hurry to go home, you can go back first and leave the payment information.
The old man simply didn't listen and insisted on taking the money and leaving.
The police tried to persuade him, but it was useless.
Some of the onlookers couldn't stand it anymore and blamed the old man.
Fu Shiran also followed suit to denounce the old man, accusing him of making things too difficult for the villa.
Suddenly, the message ring rang. She opened it and found that it was a message asking her to relay it in public.
"The compensation the villa gave you was not the result of the police's handling. It was something else. Even if they didn't give it to you, you couldn't find any fault. After all, you traded privately in the villa and didn't notify the villa to strengthen security measures. There was no surveillance in your room. Even if the antiques were found in the waiter's room, who can prove that the waiter took them in himself? Can you prove it?"
This statement immediately attracted a round of applause, and of course there were also boos.
In short, some people stood on the side of the old man, thinking that he was just asking for normal compensation from the victim, and that appeasing him on the spot was the villa's attitude.
The two groups argued endlessly, and Di Chen and the old man insisted on their own opinions.
Pei Zhiwan had a headache watching it, it was too noisy, and such a big bug had not been discovered by anyone, she was also convinced.
Then a person was strolling in the villa seemingly casually, and met a middle-aged man who looked like the boss, and immediately approached him to talk.
"Brother, I heard that something big happened in the villa, the door was sealed by the police, people outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out. What's going on?"
Her phone was muted, and the screen was covered with anti-snoop film, so the middle-aged man couldn't see that she was actually watching the live broadcast of the villa incident.
So he enthusiastically told Pei Zhiwan what happened.
