Section 465 - The chain of contempt on the banks of the Seine(1/2)
“Yes, yes!”
Xiao Hei was so scared that he retreated several steps back, but stretched his neck to look at the workbench, fearing that if it was really a valuable treasure, he would be greedy by this guy Dominic.
Anyway, they are all stolen goods of bad origins, and even if they are forced to swallow them up, he has no choice.
This kind of thing happens often. You finally steal something to exchange for money. Sometimes you can only look at the boss's character or mood.
Dominic at the flea market has a good character, but no matter how good his character is, it is only relatively speaking. How can a guy who can make a living in the 20th district of Paris have a good person?
After using several identification tools in a row, the boss Dominic, who was fluffy, muttered to himself with confusion.
"What the hell is this? It's not any kind of gem, nor does it look like Rupert's tears."
He has never seen this situation. Its hardness is higher than that of diamonds, its resistance is infinitely large, its interior is extremely pure, it does not contain a trace of impurities, and its refractive index is also very high... In short, I have never seen such a crystal.
Although Rupert's tears are extremely strong, they are not perfectly round and have their fatal flaws.
"No, not a gem?"
Hearing the boss Dominic's words to himself, Xiao Hei was almost crying. He had already had a premonition that he would be beaten up hard.
"Get out of here, local dog!"
Dominic thought the thief was annoying here, so he waved his hand to let the other party get out, but he still didn't let go of the bead.
Xiao Hei still refused to give up. He observed his expression and noticed that Dominic had no intention of throwing away the bead, so he boldly asked tentatively: "Dominic, is this thing valuable?"
"valuable?"
The fluffy boss looked up at the dirty "local dog", muttered, and said, "I don't know whether it's worth it or not, but I've never seen such a thing before."
He took it out of his pocket and threw out a roll of money, probably only a dozen euros of loose change, and wrinkled together.
"Get out! Don't bother me!"
Although there is not much money, it is better than nothing.
Xiao Hei didn't dare to say anything, so he quickly picked up the money, nodded and left quickly.
In the corner of the flea market, spread the banknotes in your hand flat, and there were several coins in it, which totaled up, even less than 15 euros.
"Dominic is a stingy!"
After repeatedly ordering it several times, when the money in Chuangqing was only enough for a supper, Xiao Hei spat on the ground unwillingly.
He still understands the principle that things are precious because they are rare. Things that even Dominic have never seen before must be very valuable, and may be sold for more than 100,000 euros or even millions of euros.
But this black-hearted boss only used more than a dozen euros to pass himself, which was simply disgusting.
But when he thought that he couldn't afford to offend that guy Dominic, Xiao Hei was dejected and wanted to put the money back into his pocket.
At this time, one hand grabbed his wrist and the money in his hand was taken away.
"Hey, man, that's my money!"
Xiao Hei, who was caught in his wrist, jumped up immediately, but was held down by several burly people.
When he saw those people clearly, his heart immediately became cold.
The other party is the "law enforcement team" of the flea market.
Of course, this "law enforcement team" has nothing to do with the official, and to some extent it is in an opposition to the police department.
These people collect protection fees and maintain order at the flea market, and do their best.
Although Paris' 20th arrondissement is notoriously chaotic and theft and robbery are commonplace, it is safe in the flea market.
If a guy like Xiao Hei causes trouble in the flea market, he will often end up miserably.
There are several more unsalted corpses at the bottom of the Seine every year.
"Which area did you get involved in? You dare to touch it here, are you looking for death?"
Despite the cold winter, a shirtless guy with tattoos shook the rubber stick in his hand and stared at Xiao Hei fiercely.
The other person next to him shook the dozen euros in his hand and sneered.
"No, it's not like that. This is my money, not stolen, not stolen here!"
Xiao Hei shouted hurriedly. He knew that if he said he would take a step later, he might have to put a sack on his face, stuffed two stones into it, and sink directly to the bottom of the Seine.
"Don't talk nonsense to him, beat him up first!"
"This kid looks stingy and must be lying."
Several other people strode their arms and clench their fists, making gestures to take action.
"I didn't lie, it's true. Dominic can testify that he gave me the money!"
Xiao Hei hurriedly begged for mercy.
I just occasionally stole a bite of little local dogs, but these people are human-eating wolves.
"Dominic? Why should he give you money?"
The shirtless tattooed man had already guessed the origin of the money, but he still wanted to cheat this guy with a thief-eyed look.
"I got something and sold it to Dominic."
Xiao Hei looked at another person pitifully, and the other party was holding his own money.
But in the next second, the man unceremoniously stuffed the small stack of money into his pocket.
He knew that even if it was this small amount of money, he might not be able to get it back. As long as he spoke more, he would probably be beaten to death.
"What's it? It actually makes Dominic like it?"
It is obvious that one of the resident owners of the flea market, Dominic is also a little famous person.
However, even celebrities still have to pay protection fees to the "law enforcement team".
After being surrounded by these people, how could he dare to ask for his own money? The little black eyeball, who was thinking about getting out, suddenly turned around and said, "It's a bead, a transparent bead, very likely a diamond, very big, as big as a pigeon egg. That guy Dominic lied to me and said it was not worth it, so he sent me!"
Although Dominic did not say it was a gem, or even thought it was a gem, he sent over a dozen euros casually. Looking back now, it was probably some kind of concealment.
Xiao Hei, who was already a little unwilling to accept it, felt that the more he thought about it, and he had a bad idea in his heart.
He continued: "I guess that thing must be very precious, maybe worth hundreds of millions of euros. Dominic concealed the value of that bead, he just wanted to take it alone. Hi! Guys! Let's go find him together, take the things back, and then find a rich guy to sell it. How about we share it equally?"
Xiao Hei dares to bet that these people have never seen 100 million euros at all, so they will definitely be moved.
Anyway, I can't get my beads and money back, so I might as well take this opportunity to use the "law enforcement team" to make a whole bunch of Dominic, a stingy old guy.
"It's not your business! Get out! Don't let us see you again, otherwise you will definitely put a sack on the bottom of the Seine!"
The shirtless tattooed man pushed Xiao Hei to the ground, and the guy was just like this "local dog". He thought it was quite beautiful. He waved to the others and said, "Let's go to Dominic to see what kind of treasure it is?"
The butt fell heavily, and Xiao Hei, who was grinning for a while, rolled and crawled out of the flea market.
As he guessed, these guys from the "law enforcement team" were moved, but these people were lost.
Dominic's stall was empty and there was no figure.
In just a short while, the fluffy boss packed up his stuff and left the flea market in advance.
The man who embezzled Xiao Hei and got the money looked at the empty stall and said, "Dominic actually left early. The black dog was right. It must be a treasure."
He guessed that in fact, without 100 million euros, there might be millions of euros, otherwise how could there be a ghost in his heart?
"Go to his house and have a look!"
The shirtless tattooed man quickly got his idea.
It is right for the "law enforcement team" to maintain order, but if the temptation is large enough, there will be no order.
A group of people left the flea market whizzed.
In an apartment building in District 20, Dominic carries a box of flats brought back from the flea market.
The items sold are placed in squares in the box. When closing the stall, you only need to fold them one by one. Even the tables and chairs can be folded, which is very convenient.
Stacking the wooden boxes into the room, Dominic turned on the lamp on the table in front of the larger workbench at home, and carefully looked at the transparent beads collected from Xiao Hei with a microscope.
Dongdongdongdongdongdong!
Suddenly, a fierce knock on the door sounded.
"Who?"
Dominic stood up in anger and wanted to see Maoyan.
But I found that the cat's eyes were pitch black.
Maybe it was the mischievous guy upstairs prank again.
Dominic opened the door cursingly, but was shrouded in by the shadows thrown in from outside the door.
"Dominic, I heard that you received some treasures, let's open your eyes!"
The shirtless guy blocked the door tightly by himself.
"Gil! You guys..."
Dominic suddenly changed his face, and he quickly shook his head and denied, "No, I haven't received any treasure!"
To be continued...
