The man carefully opened the snakeskin bag and reached in with one hand. But it seemed that because the things in the bag were heavy, he went in with one hand for a long time and couldn't take out the things inside. Zhong Lingyue cleverly stepped forward to hold the mouth of the bag, and the man took out the things inside and placed them on the Eight Immortals table with both hands.

Seeing the thing that the man took out, Zhong Lingyue and Mr. Zhang did not react much, but Zhong Lin's face changed in an instant.

I saw it was a gray-brown cone-shaped object with thin thread-shaped patterns on it, which was about one meter long. It looked a bit like bamboo shoots, but not as thick as bamboo shoots; it also looked like a cow's horn, but much larger than the cow's horns.

What is this? The horns are? No, how can there be such a big and long horns? Besides, the horns are all bent, so how can they be so straight?

Zhong Lingyue asked in surprise.

That's right, the horns are not that big or so straight. Is it a rhino horn?

Mr. Zhang, who is well-informed, was also shocked by what he saw.

The horn of an animal was placed on the Eight Immortals table, and the horn Zhonglin was very familiar with it. He just wondered why it appeared here!

What are you? Seeing that the man didn't speak, Zhong Lingyue asked.

This is an animal's horn, and I don't know what it is.

Didn’t you say it was passed down from your family? Since it was passed down from the ancestral family, how could you not know what corner it was? This is a regular store, and we will not collect things from unknown sources. And

Zhong Lingyue originally wanted to say and we would call the police, but when he got to his mouth, he swallowed it again, afraid that if he really said that, he might scare the person away directly. What's more, he hadn't figured out what was in front of him, nor did he know the specific origin of it, and he could not make a conclusion. It would be bad if he was wronged by the person. Thinking of this, Zhong Lingyue looked at the man up and down again, and the man looked at him so hard that he didn't dare to face Zhong Lingyue's gaze. Moreover, the man had already picked up the snakeskin bag in his hand, as if he was ready to put the horn on at any time and ran away.

This big brother, from your accent, are you not a local?

Zhong Lin's voice was not loud and his tone was gentle, just like chatting with that person.

Yes, I am not from local, I am from Jiangdong Province, and I come to work in Southeast City.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhong Lin's words, the man was not as nervous as before.

Oh, what's your surname?

Zhong Lin continued to ask.

My surname is Chen, and everyone in ours calls me 'Chen'

Hello, Brother Chen!

Zhong Lin said as he reached out to Chen Laoshi.

Seeing this, Chen Laoshi subconsciously rubbed his hand on his clothes twice, then he reached out and held Zhong Lin's hand with some restraint and said: Hello, boss, hello!

Come on, Brother Chen, sit down and let’s chat slowly.

Zhong Lin said as he let Chen Houshi go to the coffee table next to the Eight Immortals table and guided him to sit down.

At this time, Mr. Zhang had already returned to his seat, poured a cup of tea, and said: Come on, Xiao Chen, have tea.

Chen Hushi took the teacup and drank it all in one go. Fortunately, the teacup was very small, and the tea poured in soon became less hot, otherwise it would have been burnt.

Brother Chen, let me guess. Your thing is not inherited from your family. It was just sawed off the corpse of an animal. Am I right?

Zhong Lin's tone of speaking was still very gentle, but after hearing this, Chen Houshi stood up suddenly, and the teacup in his hand almost fell to the ground.

How did you know?

It's very simple. Zhong Lin walked to the Eight Immortals table, held up the corner with his hand and continued: There is a big difference between the corner that has just been cut and the corner that has been stored for a long time. First of all, the corner that has just been cut is very heavy, like this corner that has forty or fifty kilograms; while the corner that has been stored for a long time will lose part of the moisture as time goes by, not so heavy; another point, you can see it

As Zhong Lin said, he turned the root of the horn towards Chen and said honestly that there were still bloodshot at the root of this horn. How could a horn that had been preserved for a long time still have bloodshot?

Chen Zhen is indeed very honest as his name suggests. After hearing Zhong Lin's words, his whole body trembled. He naturally had seen the dead unicorn wolf, but he rarely read, just thinking it was the corpse of some animal that he had never seen before. He felt that its horns were very special, so he thought of things like ivory rhino horns, and thought that such a special thing could be sold for some money, so he cut it off and took it to the antique market to sell it. Unexpectedly, Zhong Lin could see it at a glance.

Brother Chen, let me tell you that your current behavior has violated the law. The state has stipulated that you cannot buy and sell wild animals at will, even their bodies cannot be used. You must have heard of smuggling ivory? What you are doing now is similar to that one.

After hearing Zhong Lin's words, Chen Houshi's face turned green all of a sudden. He sat down on the ground with a thud and said tremblingly: "I, my family urgently needs money, so I did this." Moreover, when I saw the beast, it had already died and was even a little rotten. Please don't report it to me. If I was in jail, my child would be out of salvation. He had leukemia.

Chen Zhen, as he spoke, he choked up.

Brother Chen, don’t be afraid first. Although you have made a mistake, you still have a chance to make up for it. I promise you that as long as you do what I said, it will be fine.

Zhong Lin said seriously.

OK, then you tell me, what do you want me to do? I will do it as I want.

Chen Houshi said tremblingly.

First of all, you want to keep this corner, but it was not what I bought with you.

OK, OK, OK! I'll give it to you, let me go.

Chen Laoshi said directly before Zhong Lin finished speaking.

After hearing Chen's honest words, Zhong Lin laughed angrily and said: Brother Chen, you misunderstood. I didn't want to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of you. I just said that I would leave this corner and I will give you some money to treat your child. How much did you want to sell this corner?

I am going to sell it for 300,000, because my child needs 300,000 yuan to treat it. But I think it may not be worth that much, so give me as much as you think it is worth.

Zhong Lin frowned and said, "Brother Chen, I'm going to tell you that the horn you brought will not be able to sell it at the price you want, even if you go anywhere, they may not dare to buy it." But today I promised to give you 300,000, not for anything else, just to get the money back to see your child. But we agreed that this horn was confiscated by me, and my money was given to you, not for buying your horn.

Ah! Really? I heard it right?

Chen Laoshi just stood up from the ground, and after hearing Zhong Lin's words, he almost sat on the ground again. He just wanted to sell it for a little more money, but in fact, not to mention that someone paid 300,000 yuan to buy it, even if he paid 3,000 yuan to buy it with him in the end, he would sell it.

OK, OK, OK, I know that buying and selling this thing is illegal. If you keep it, the money will be given to me. No, otherwise the money will be borrowed from you. After I cure my child's illness, I will return it to you slowly. Chen Houshi is a honest person.

No, you may have misunderstood that this thing was not what I wanted, and the money was indeed given to you. I just had a small request, that you would take me to the place where you found this horn, and I would like to see the corpse of the animal.

Ah? It's that simple.

Yes, it’s that simple. You have a cup of tea first, and wait for me to find a few people and let’s go together.

As Zhong Lin said, he picked up the phone and called out. Then he said to Zhong Lingyue: Auntie, you can hang out the sign that has been suspended for business first.

Although Zhong Lingyue didn't know what was sold in Zhong Lin's gourd, she still did it according to what Zhong Lin wanted.

After only a dozen minutes, three policemen walked in from outside the door, and Xiong Jianbiao was the leader.

Brother, I'm here.

Chen Laoshi happened to finish drinking a cup of tea. Before he could even put it down, he heard someone talking and looked back and saw three policemen walking in. The teacup in his hand could no longer be held, and it fell on the tea table with a squeak and broke into several petals.

You, you

Chen Laoshi turned around and pointed at Zhong Lin. He wanted to say why you called the police? But he was so excited that he didn't say it out loud.

Brother Chen, don’t worry, I called the police, but they were not here to catch you, they were all my friends. They are here to go with us to see the corpse of the beast.

Zhong Lin hurriedly explained, because he had already seen that Chen Houshi was really frightened.

Chen Houshi breathed a long sigh after hearing Zhong Lin's words. He originally thought that Zhong Lin went to see the animal's corpse to see if there was anything valuable. And although Zhong Lin repeatedly emphasized that he didn't buy the horn, it seemed that Zhong Lin said it on purpose. In fact, it was not equivalent to buying it. But when he saw the police, he realized that he had really judged a gentleman just now by the heart of a villain.

Brother Biao, you take Brother Chen out first. I then went to Zhong Lin and walked to the Eight Immortals table. Seeing that Chen Laoshi and others were out, I put away the horn in a blink of an eye.

Auntie, you can take this thing first, and I will ask Brother Chen Yong to come to you to get it later.
