Chapter 2233: Please Master

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a watch shop near the Town God's Temple in Shanghai.

The name of the watch shop is Hendry, and it is said to be a century-old shop.

The shop is full of ancient charm, as if it has traveled through time and space and returned to the era of rushing.

There is a wind chime at the door. When the door is opened, the wind chime makes a nice crisp sound.

Zhao Yu and Cui Lizhu walked into the watch shop one after the other, and saw that there were many clocks and clocks in the shop, as if they had entered a museum.

However, the owner of the watch shop was a young man, so young that even made Zhao Yu feel that he had come to the wrong place.

At this moment, the young man was playing with his mobile phone, and when he heard a customer coming in, he asked without raising his eyelids, "Do you want to repair or buy a watch?

"If you are repairing a watch, just put it on the counter!" He knocked on the counter lightly. "If you are buying a watch, please look at it yourself!"

"Hehe," Cui Lizhu stuck out her tongue, "Stop the shopkeeper!"

"You're right, hehe..." The young man glanced at Cui Lizhu, "My dad went to repair watches for someone, and I was just looking after the shop!"

"Got..." Cui Lizhu pursed her lips and shook her head at Zhao Yu, which obviously meant that she came at the wrong time.

However, Zhao Yu didn't affect his mood because of this, but took out the diamond-encrusted watch from half of his arm, and put it in front of the young man's face.

Originally, the young man was playing the game intently, but after glancing at the famous watch, his eyes suddenly shone:

"Wow!" He sighed in surprise, "1918 Saint Da Norway, this is it! Local tyrants, you guys!?"

"Oh?" Cui Lizhu regained consciousness immediately, "Do you know this watch?"

"Of course, we are an aristocratic family!" The young man finally put down his phone, carefully observed the watch, and praised, "Where did you get it? This kind of watch is very rare!"

"Is it worth it?" Cui Lizhu asked the price out of professional habit.

"Diamond-studded ones," the young man said with a magnifying glass, and looked at them seriously, "if they are all real, our small shop can't afford it!

"Wow," while speaking, the young man exclaimed, "It's really 1918! This is not a replica, it's a genuine Santa Norway!"

"Are you sure?" Cui Lizhu asked, "You're so sure, have you seen it before?"

"I've seen it, I've seen it," the young man nodded and said, "There was a watch exhibition in Shanghai a few years ago, and I saw it at the exhibition!"

"Young man," Zhao Yu said, "tell us about the origin of this watch!"

"Hmm...you...you..." the young man asked curiously, "what do you mean, do you want me to appraise it, or... want to entrust us to find a buyer?"

"Let's identify it first!" In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhao Yu directly took out his ID and revealed his identity, "This watch is related to an unsolved case! I hope you can help us..."

"Ah?" The young man seldom dealt with police officers, so he panicked and said hastily, "I...I'll call my dad right now!

"Hmm... wait... wait a minute..." Who knows, after he picked up the phone, he suddenly remembered something, and quickly turned around and ran upstairs, "I... I'd better call me grandpa!"

A few minutes later, the young man helped down an old man with a white beard from upstairs,

The old man looked to be almost 90 years old, holding a crutch with a dragon's head in his hand, his stature was stooped, but his spirit was hale and hearty.

"So it's 1918..."

The old man greeted Zhao Yu and Zhao Yu with a smile all over his face, then sat in front of the counter and carefully observed his watch with a magnifying glass.

"Well..." After observing for a long time, he nodded and said, "This watch is not bad, it is genuine. When my father opened a martial arts gym in Hongkou, a Japanese military officer gave him a piece. want!"

"Grandpa, ahem..." The young man coughed dryly and said awkwardly, "You're wrong, my great-grandfather opened a watch shop, and Chen Zhen opened a martial arts gym!"

"Oh, oh..." The old man smiled foolishly, "I know, just kidding, just kidding! Hehe...

"You two distinguished guests," he said, pointing to the watch on the counter, "this watch should have a lot of history! The person who owns it must be either rich or expensive!"

"It's not a distinguished guest," the young man hurriedly corrected, "it's a police officer!"

"Then..." Zhao Yu hurriedly asked, "Do you know where you could buy this kind of watch more than 30 years ago? Are there many people who buy this kind of watch?"

"Well..." The old man stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then said, "This question is not easy to answer, although this watch is expensive, it is not so expensive that no one can afford to wear it!

"However, due to production and discontinuation, this kind of watch is very rare, especially in our country! So, if you are asking thirty years ago, it must be impossible to buy it from a store!"

"Boss, you're very unprofessional in asking this question!" Cui Lizhu stuck out her tongue, "Why did you have to buy it? Couldn't it be inherited from your ancestors?

"Because it was inherited from the ancestors, so it was put in the safe?"

"That's right, this granddaughter is right!" the old man said to Zhao Yuxiang, "You have to tell me, what exactly do you want to know? This guest officer, oh no, this police officer?"

"Well, okay..." Since the case was not top-secret, Zhao Yu immediately told his grandfather and grandson about the safe, his arm, and the watch.

"Wow!" The young man was invigorated when he heard it, "There is such a weird case? Wearing a 1918 on his arm? If this is on the news, it will definitely cause a sensation, right?"

"Why..." Cui Lizhu was curious, "You guys are more used to calling it 1918?"

"Because," said the young man, "this watch was produced in 1918, and it produced about 5,000 yuan at that time! So it is called 1918!"

"Look..." He pointed to the watch and said, "1918 is engraved on the inner circle of the watch. This is only available in that year, and all the later re-productions are not as valuable as the earliest batch!"

"The Bund has always been a mixed bag, and rents are everywhere," the old man said, "so, it is only natural that this kind of watch is spread to Shanghai!

"This police officer," the old man said objectively, "Actually, if you come to us, we can't help you much. We can just tell you the value of this watch. As for helping you find the owner of this watch, that's okay." It's impossible!"

"Yes, more than thirty years!" said the young man, "Even if this kind of watch is relatively rare, but the devil is so big, there is no way to know its origin!

"Let me see," he picked up his phone and suggested, "Why don't you let the media expose it? Look for clues from the masses? Wouldn't the chances be greater?"

The young man's words just hit Zhao Yu's heart. This case is different from previous cases. The police can completely collect clues from the public.

It's just that, if it were someone else, it would be understandable to collect clues from the public, but for Zhao Yu, it seemed a bit out of place.

This case was not urgent, and Zhao Yu didn't want to alert the media prematurely.

In addition, through the conversation with the grandparents, it seemed that there was nothing to gain, but Zhao Yu felt that something seemed to have caught his attention!
