C329 Unpacking (1/2)

I helplessly said, ”If I could solve it myself, I wouldn't need an expert like you. How about it? Are you coming or not?” Money is not a problem, everything is negotiable. ”

The person on the other end of the line hesitated for a moment, then finally said, ”Okay then, where are you? Tell me the address, I'll be right over.”

I gave him my address, and the man said he'd be there in five minutes.

Sure enough, before five minutes had passed, there was a knock on the door. I opened the door to see a young man of about twenty-five or twenty-six with a full head of hair and a round face. He looked to be in high spirits. I asked, ”What is elder brother's surname?”

That person smiled and said, ”My surname is Liu, you can just call me Liu Miao.”

I brought him to the living room. When he first saw Wang Dachuan's lock, his eyes lit up. He looked at me and said, ”Hey, are we going together? Your tool is even better than mine, why are you still looking for me? ”

”No, this thing belongs to a friend of mine, so I don't really know how to use it. Look at how you're going to open this box, I'm counting on you, an expert.”

Liu Miao looked at the box, and frowned: ”I have never seen such a big box, and this pattern is quite scary, where did you get it from? This thing can even be used as a coffin. ”

I don't like the way this man talks, and it's too casual. Liu Miao, on the other hand, carefully observed the lock on the chest and nodded, ”This is indeed the lock of the Qing dynasty. Liu Mao, on the other hand, carefully examined the lock on the chest and nodded,” This is really the lock of the Qing dynasty.

”Hehe, actually, I didn't know that there was such a thing in the family. relatives gave it to me because they didn't have a place to store it in the countryside.”

Liu Miao took out a slender iron bar from his bag, with a curved hook at the front, and said, ”I can't guarantee you that. Your thing should be considered an antique, so let's first talk about it. Don't lie to me if it's broken.”

I nodded. ”Brother Liu, don't worry. I just wanted you to help me open the box. I didn't have any other intentions.”

Liu Miao had no choice but to pick up the piece of metal with the hook and insert it into the keyhole. With a slight shake and a click, the big lock popped open.

It was so easy. I felt relieved and thought, ”I thought it was going to be difficult, but it turned out to be so easy.”

Liu Miao was also a little surprised, he laughed and said: ”Blind cat trying to kill a mouse, I was just lucky. I have never opened such an old lock, I just randomly tried it.”

I raised my big brother, saying, ”Expert, I really admire you so much.”

Liu Miao smiled embarrassedly and said, ”Brother, you're too polite. I'm just fooling around. Right, take a look at the things inside, shouldn't I take a look?”

”No need, there shouldn't be anything inside. The box at home, what else could there be inside? I think it's probably just some old clothes.” Actually, I just wanted to find someone to accompany me and strengthen my courage. After all, the things I took from the pawnshop on the east side of the street always had a creepy feeling to them.

Seeing that I had agreed to let him watch, he was also, of course, excited. He helped me lift the lid of the box and said, ”I've heard a lot of these kinds of things, the boxes that were passed down from my ancestors, once they are opened, either are treasures of gold and silver, or are also antique calligraphy and paintings. In short, there are a lot of people who have made a fortune.
