The child's mother disagreed with this statement.
"Crossby? I admit he has some ability in appreciating paintings, but this is a mirror!"
The father who was driving could understand his wife's doubts and continued to explain patiently.
"My dear, you don't know this. Although Cosby doesn't recognize the patterns around the mirror, he knows a lot about materials."
At this point, he couldn't help but look at the box in the rearview mirror, and even lowered his voice.
"He has verified it privately. The material of this mirror is completely unknown. The surrounding materials are neither conventional metals nor common stones. Moreover, the temperature never changes under any circumstances. And the mirror surface is not glass or metal at all, and its hardness is not low!"
The child's father became so excited that he swallowed his saliva.
"Honey, do you know what this means?"
The woman in the back seat also came to her senses and found that the mirror seemed very mysterious.
"Usually, transparent materials with high hardness are gemstones in nature. This means that the mirror surface is likely to be polished with some unknown gemstone, and the frame may also be made of meteorite material, or a rough gemstone!"
"As Cosby said, if it is a gemstone surface, and it can be polished so smooth and flat, this craftsmanship is far more than worth buying."
The atmosphere in the car became lively, and the child's mother began to feel the value of the mirror.
In fact, the mirror attracted her a lot, but she just felt bad about spending the two hundred euros.
"Actually, this time it was Cosby and I who paid for it together, but as an employee of the store, it was difficult for him to do so, so he deliberately gave the seller a low valuation and then asked me to buy it. This way, the store owner could only see a mirror on the books, but didn't know what was going on inside!"
"My dear, you are so smart!"
"Of course, Cosby and I have thought about doing this before, but we just haven't had the right opportunity. This time it's really going so smoothly!"
The little girl sitting next to her mother listened for a long time and suddenly said something.
"Then Dad, isn't this illegal?"
"Well, Luna, your father's behavior is not illegal, because he just bought an item normally in the store, but he has a good eye and knows the potential value of the item."
"Oh, and what about Uncle Xerxes?"
"What he said, well, is at most a miscalculation, but not much more!"
The child’s father turned around and added.
…
On a shopping street in the west of Paris, there is a small pawn and consignment shop called Angel Feathers.
The pawn industry in France is quite developed and is already one of the six types of credit institutions authorized by the government. For French people, going to a pawn shop is like going to a bank for a short-term loan, and they can bargain.
Normally, few people die, but there are always exceptions, like the man who happened a few days ago.
He didn't come to redeem his things when they were due.
Kesby was a neat and tidy middle-aged man. He was wiping a porcelain bowl at this moment, thinking happily about the mirror he and his friend had got back together.
He is more focused on artistry, the style is so different and its beauty cannot be ignored.
The seller wanted to pawn the item when he arrived at the exit, but their store had a rule that direct purchases were not allowed and there had to be a pawn period, so Cosby casually quoted a low price, but he didn't expect the other party to agree to it right away and not come back after the deadline.
It just so happened that the boss was on vacation. Although there were three employees in the store, he was the store manager, so it was natural for him to seize the opportunity.
Just as he was thinking about the mirror, two policemen suddenly came to the door. When they saw Cosby wearing the store manager's tag, they walked straight towards him.
The latter was startled when he saw the police.
It's not like it's going to happen so soon, is it? This isn't illegal! French pawnbrokers can bargain with each other!
"Hello, has anyone in your store seen this gentleman?"
The police showed the photo of the seller, but he looked more energetic in the photo, not as dazed and thin as he looked that day.
There are surveillance cameras in the store, so he has no choice but to admit it, and besides, Cosby is a calm and rational person.
Tell yourself not to think too much, then take the photo from the police and look at it carefully.
"Your police credentials, gentlemen."
This request was normal, and the two police officers took out their ID cards and showed them to Cosby, who then disclosed the client's information.
"I've seen this guy before. He came to our store to pawn something a few days ago, but he didn't come back to redeem it when the deadline came."
One of the policemen's eyes lit up.
"What was his job? Did he do anything special?"
Cosby handed the photo back.
"No, he pawned three things and wanted to pawn them to death right away. However, due to the regulations, he was still allowed to pawn them alive, but for the shortest possible period of time."
Moving the laptop computer on the side over, Cosby looked for information.
"Here, he pawned a watch, a necklace, and an art mirror. Since they are already dead, we have already marked them up for sale."
"Let me check if the things are still there. Oh, the watch and necklace are of high value, and no one has bought them yet. The handicraft has been bought. Do you want me to bring the watch and necklace over for you to take a look?"
One of the officers nodded in thanks.
"Okay, please bring it here for us to see."
Two minutes later, another clerk brought the items: a gold watch and a platinum necklace.
The police were also led into the inner hall.
However, the two police officers just took a look and had no intention of taking away the evidence. They also checked the surveillance footage in the store at the time.
"Excuse me, officers. What happened? Is the client's pawned item stolen property? Do you need me to recover it?"
The younger policeman waved and smiled at him.
"No, no, that man died in a hotel. His death was... Anyway, we haven't ruled out the possibility of homicide, so we were ordered to investigate his recent whereabouts. Besides your place, he also sold a lot of things recently, it seems like he was raising money."
"Oh, God!"
Just an exclamation on the surface.
However, Kesby felt relieved, as it seemed that it was really none of his business.
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation. Sorry for bothering me."
Two policemen came out of the store, got in their car and left.
After watching them leave, the three employees in the store discussed for a few words and then went back to work.
However, although Cosby felt that he was fine, he still felt uneasy. He didn't know if it was because he was related to the dead.
But I didn't have any worries about the mirror, or rather, I didn't have any worries at all, as if my thoughts automatically turned away at this point.
…
Brown and the twin brothers followed the private car from a distance and came to a residential area on the outskirts of Paris, surrounded by some old villas.
Their car was parked at a slightly further intersection, and they watched the family of three carry the odds and ends in the car into the house.
"These three are probably human. They don't seem to be parasitic or invading their bodies. Everything in the car seems to be normal."
I looked carefully at the family of three and the things they brought, and didn't notice anything unusual.
What was even weirder was that once the family entered the house, the same feeling that had just been there was no longer in the car.
Brown was frowning.
"Could it be possible that the three of us were all wrong at the same time?"
"Let's stay here for one night and see!"
"Um!"
To put it bluntly, the three of them also understood that they are no longer ordinary people. Just like Shuguang's purpose, intuitive things cannot be ignored.
That night, the mirror was placed at the head of the couple's bed.
They watched it carefully before going to bed. The more they looked at it, the more they liked it. They felt that even if they excluded the potential value, this transaction was worth it.
Mrs. Ruby also took a photo of the mirror and secretly posted it on her WeChat account's circle of friends to show off. It received dozens of likes in two minutes.
But it feels great before going to bed, but not so great after going to bed.
The three members of the family all had nightmares that night. The feeling of terror from the nightmare, in which they could not wake up, did not go away until they woke up in the morning.
Mr. Ruby went to wash up, and as usual, the first thing Mrs. Ruby did when she got up was to weigh herself.
She stood on the electronic scale and saw the data. Her originally depressed spirit suddenly became excited.
"68 kilograms, oh my god, honey, I lost weight, haha, a full kilogram!"
