I opened my eyes wide and asked Old Chen: "Old Chen, you are not hiding anything from me, are you?!"

"Ah?!" Lao Chen was frightened by my sharp eyes.

"How do you know about the gold bars..." I continued to ask.

"Gold bars," Lao Chen was obviously dodging, but he still tried his best to explain, "about the gold bars, I...of course I know, because I watched the news..."

Then, Lao Chen explained that it was not what I thought. He saw about the gold bars from the news on his mobile phone.

Lao Chen is so smart. After seeing the news, he thought about it and realized that Boss Hu bought the small brick building for the precious metals underneath.

Therefore, Lao Chen was also obsessed with money, so he called Boss Hu and threatened him. Since he made a lot of money, could he give him a share of the pie?

Moreover, Lao Chen also said in a threatening tone that if he did not give it, Lao Chen would be ready to call the police!

Lao Chen is really crazy. His head is so hot that he doesn’t even know the seriousness of the problem!

Maybe Lao Chen was beaten up by me before he saw the Snow Mountain Flying Fox. He was a coward and nothing special, so he wanted to rip him off!

But Lao Chen didn't know that the Snow Mountain Flying Fox was deliberately pretending to show us his cowardice.

If I were the Snow Mountain Flying Fox, I would definitely not take Lao Chen's threat to heart, and I might even look for an opportunity to kill Lao Chen.

However, what I can't figure out at all is...

Snow Mountain Flying Fox actually agreed and said that they could give Lao Chen something, but the premise was that Lao Chen had to bring me over before he could give it...

So, Lao Chen hurriedly called me, but unfortunately my phone was out of battery.

Then Lao Chen went all the way to the community and found Ermiao and I at a barbecue stall. We got in Lao Chen's car and went to the demolition area to see the snow-capped flying fox.

The above is what happened before...

After listening to Lao Chen's explanation, I shouted hysterically at Lao Chen: "Old Chen, are you crazy about money? Snow Mountain Flying Fox is now a major suspect of the police. It's too late for you to hide. Why are you taking the initiative?"

If you go to provoke him, aren't you afraid that he will kill someone and silence him?!"

"Is...is it that serious?!"

Lao Chen was very unsure when he spoke. As he spoke, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with a tissue.

My mind is quite confused and I don’t know what to say.

Lao Chen explained in my ear that he just read the news, and the reports were very well written, almost like a curiosity story. Lao Chen did not expect the problem to be so serious. At first, he thought that Snow Mountain Flying Fox was renovating the house after buying it.

At that time, he accidentally discovered precious metals buried underground, so he made a huge fortune.

Because the house was sold to him by Lao Chen, so when the Snow Mountain Flying Fox eats meat, Lao Chen should also be given a bowl of broth to drink, so he wanted to share a piece of the pie, which is why he had this experience tonight. In fact, that’s what Lao Chen thought.

Simple.

I lowered my head and listened to Lao Chen's explanation, which seemed to be reasonable.

Snow Mountain Flying Fox found a treasure in his house. It can only be said that he was lucky. This cannot be regarded as a theft.

Without Edward's report, the police would not have known about this, right?

If we want to say that the worst person here is, it seems that we have to say Edward, the fake foreigner!

In any case, this matter was quite terrible. I couldn’t figure it out in a short time, so I asked Lao Chen to drive Ermiao and I home.

After returning to the community, Lao Chen threw the music box in his hand to me. He seemed to dislike it, so I didn't take it seriously, so I put the thing in the box and took it home.

Carrying the box into the house, I turned on all the lights. The room was very bright, and took out the music box from the box.

The light in the car was very dark before, so I couldn't see this thing clearly. Now that the light is brighter, I can tell that this music box is definitely not an ordinary child's toy.

Well, let me first describe this music box in detail...

It's not big, about the same size as a primary school student's lunch box, and the whole thing is a reddish ripe brown color, like the color of fried chestnuts.

Moreover, this is not the paint or pigment applied on it, but the unique color of the wood.

Although this kind of wood is not as heavy as mahogany, it feels hard. I guess it is some unique hardwood from Europe.

The reason why it is said to be an imported product is not only that the wood is unique, but the patterns carved on the surface are also very Western.

Those patterns are not particularly prominent. Even if you touch them with your fingers, you can't feel them. They are just carved in such a thin layer that they seem to be there but not at all.

You know, this kind of carving technique is called relief, and it is actually the most difficult.

The content of the carvings is not only patterns, but also figures, all wearing Western costumes.

The content may be some European folklore. Unfortunately, I am not very familiar with Western culture and cannot understand it well.

The reason why I say this is to tell everyone that this music box is by no means cheap.

If you take it to an antique shop or pawn shop, you can probably sell it for a lot of money.

Here comes the problem...

If this thing is valuable, why did Snow Mountain Flying Fox give it to me and Lao Chen?

But I thought again, maybe it was because this thing was so valuable that he gave it to me and Lao Chen, in order to shut our mouths and prevent us from going to the police to report him.

It's a pity that Lao Chen is uneducated. He couldn't see the value in such a good antique piece of art, so he just threw it to me, and I got a big bargain.

but……

While I am happy, there is still a big problem bothering me...

What problem?

Should I tell Luo Feng about seeing the suspect Snow Mountain Flying Fox tonight?

I should have called Luo Feng to talk about it, but the problem is, if I told him, Luo Feng would definitely ask endless questions, and he would definitely mention this antique music box. By then, the music box might have to be confiscated.

Even if I call the police and Luo Feng solves the case, it has nothing to do with me. The city bureau will not give me any benefits.

Moreover, every time I see Luo Feng, he always yells at me with a dark face. Ahem, if it were Bai Xue, maybe I would be more willing to help for free...

Thinking about it like this, I think I should put down the matter of the Snow Mountain Flying Fox. I'll go to the Drum Tower tomorrow and ask the owners of the antique shops how much this thing is worth.

If it's valuable, I'll sell it first. Even if it doesn't sell for tens of thousands, I can sell it for a few thousand. At least it can relieve the pressure of my life.

Then I will consider whether to tell Luo Feng or not. If Luo Feng asks, I have sold everything and taken action. What else will he want?

Thinking of this, I feel like my IQ has improved a lot!
