Chapter: 432

After a pause, he added with difficulty: "I suspect it is Mrs. Alice. You see, there are so many people who come here to mortgage, and the appraiser handles dozens or hundreds of things every day, and most of them are valuables. Just lie to me? She, how could she..."

Charlie couldn't speak.

Pawnshops are not allowed to cheat everyone equally, how much price can be pressed, and the more expensive the item, the more it will be pressed? Lumian grumbled, and said with a chuckle: "Why not? Many rich people don't make their fortunes through kindness and hard work. They can deceive you with fake ones, so why give them real ones?"

"Maybe Mrs. Alice is such a rich person, or even not so rich, who cheats young people like you by living in the White Swan Hotel."

Lumian did not deny all rich people, because in that group, a large part of people did make their fortunes by relying on talent, talent, hard work and opportunity, for example, Aurora.

After being teased by him for a few words, Charlie's face muscles visibly twisted.

He said angrily to himself: "Yeah, during this time, Mrs. Alice has never invited me to a big meal, and she always asked me to go to the room service at seven or eight o'clock in the evening...

You are so deceitful, are you really a Lim? Lumian couldn't help but raised his hand to cover his face.

He immediately stood up and said, "Take that necklace back, let's go to another pawn shop."

"What if it's true?"

Charlie froze for a moment and said, "Okay, okay!"

He is not so willing.

Lumian warned again: "Pay attention to check, don't let them change the necklace."

"Yeah." Charlie tried to cheer up, "I was looking at that necklace every day some time ago, and remembered every detail of it!"

After getting back the diamond necklace, Lumian accompanied Charlie to find two other pawn shops in the Observatory area.

The identification result is the same as before, the necklace is fake and can only be 11-15 Filkin.

Charlie grew more and more frustrated, more and more broken.

Lumian glanced at him and said with relief: "At least I can be a dozen or so Filkins, which is enough for you to last for more than a week, and I have spare money to buy drinks from the waiters at the cafe on White Coat Street and let them introduce new jobs. .”

Charlie spent about 1 Filkin a day including rent, and a little less if he didn't go to the speakeasy for a drink.

"Yeah..." Charlie sighed.

Lost to the extreme, after accepting the reality, he felt that there was still hope in life after being told so.

Lumian thought for a while and said, "Other possibilities cannot be ruled out. For example, the pawn shop here has private contacts and communications to deceive people like you who don't wear well and mortgage valuables without corresponding invoices. You Do you want to take the necklace to a special jewelry store for appraisal?"

"That will pay a fee." Charlie showed a embarrassed expression.

It's okay if it's true, but if it's fake, then his modest assets may be reduced by one-third to one-half.

Lumian sighed and said, "Give me the diamond necklace, and I'll help you find a friend to appraise it for free. You should have some money on you, so you can make it through today, right?"

"I still have 2.6 Filkin." Charlie handed the diamond necklace to Lumian with expectant eyes.

Lumian put away the necklace and said with a smile: "Aren't you worried that it is genuine after the appraisal, but I will return you a fake one and tell you that there are no problems with those pawnshops?"

"..." Charlie's expression froze again.

After a second, he breathed out and said, "I believe in you, and I already think it's fake."

Lumian waved his hand, bid farewell to Charlie, and walked towards Purgatory Square.
