Jin Muchen is not a military fan, but he also has an indescribable liking for firearms.

When I was in New York, I wanted to buy two to play with, but because of the gun license, I couldn't get it. I finally got the gun license, but I didn't have time to go to the gun store.

This time, I didn't expect to visit the second-hand market, but it was an eye-opener. He also visited a lot of second-hand markets in New York before, but there were no guns in the market there.

And still buy such famous World War II guns. In this booth, not only rifles, but also many machine guns from the same period also exist.

For example, the famous Chicago typewriter, Thompson submachine gun, and German mp40 can all be seen. Even on the innermost shelf with ammunition boxes, you can also see the Maxim heavy machine gun, and Hitler's ripper mg42. The big killer can be seen.

Jin Muchen was almost blinded. He didn't see a guy who was famous for a while, so he couldn't help but want to pick it up and play with it.

However, although these guns can be picked up, they are all locked with iron anti-theft chains, and some guns do not have a bolt, or the trigger is locked, which can only pass the eye.

Not many people came to this stall. The stall owner was a middle-aged and wretched uncle in his 40s. He was dressed in a hippie dress, with a lot of messy hair and beard. He also wore a green military cap on his head.

When Jin Muchen came in before. The stall owner didn't pay much attention to him. After seeing that he didn't pick up the gun and play with it, he quietly approached him.

"How? Is my collection good? What do you like, young man?"

"Uh...I just want to see..."

Jin Muchen put down the guy in his hand embarrassed, but the uncle was happy.

"It doesn't matter. You can look at it casually and tell me what you see."

The attitude of this uncle can be compared to the guy I met in San Francisco a few days ago. He is very kind and generous, and he is not discriminatory.

There were several other guests at this time. After entering the tent, the uncle went to greet the others, leaving only Jin Muchen to watch it by himself.

After looking around, Jin Muchen finally decided to leave reluctantly. The things here are pretty good. He also wanted to buy it, but it was quite troublesome to get it back to New York.

He plans to go back by plane. If he buys a few guys, he will definitely not be able to take him on the plane. If he checks in luggage, it will be very troublesome. Guns are very sensitive. If it is mailed, there are many procedures to go through, and the cost is not low.

You can buy guns in the US anyway. Jin Muchen pondered that it might be better to go back to New York and buy it.

"What? Didn't you see it?"

At this time, the stall owner greeted several other people and came to Jin Muchen's side again.

"It's not that I didn't like it, it's just that I don't have a gun license. Although I like your collection very much, you know it. If I buy it, it's illegal..."

Jin Muchen lied. After all, he watched and played for a long time here. But he didn't buy anything, and he felt a little embarrassed.

"Hey, young man, that's not a problem. I've got something better here."

While talking, the old man winked at Jin Muchen, then pulled a green ammunition box from behind, and opened it with several pistols lying inside.

There are new and old, the new one is the current popular Glock, and the old one is the m1911 that has even lost its baked blue.

"These are all good things, you know, the ones without serial numbers..."

The old man spoke to Jin Muchen mysteriously, and then gave Jin Muchen a weird smile, which means you understand. . .

And Jin Muchen's forehead is full of sweat after listening to it. It is worthy of being the largest second-hand goods market in Los Angeles. It is really amazing!

Although he was standing, he could clearly see that the traces on the pistols and the original serial numbers on the guns had all been erased.

Such a gun, self-evident, is the legendary black gun, a weapon specially used for illegal activities.

With this thing, let alone robbery with guns, it's just killing a few guys you don't look good on. As long as you cover it up properly, the police won't even try to find evidence from the murder weapon.

But Nima Laozi is a serious antique dealer, what do you want to do with such a sharp weapon?

So Jin Muchen could only mumble a few words, and then fled from the tent. When he stepped out of the tent, he could hear the stall owner laughing loudly behind him. . .

There are more and more tents open in the market, and Jin Muchen is also hurrying, because he knows that after seven o'clock, many stalls will put away some shady things and start regular transactions.

So if you want to find something good, you must seize the time now.

When passing by a tent soon, he was attracted by the flashing yellow light inside.

This tent feels different from other tents. As soon as you enter it, you can feel that the interior is very elegant, and it feels like you are in the study of an ancient European nobleman.

Facing the entrance of the tent is a writing desk, behind the desk are executive chairs, behind it are rows of bookshelves, and then there are leisure sofas on both sides.

The ground is also very particular, with a red carpet and dim lighting, it is easy to create a strange feeling of traveling through time and space, as if you have traveled from modern times to the study of a European nobleman in the 18th century. same as in.

The stall owner's dress is also very unique. He is actually dressed in a tuxedo, with white gloves, short hair, and a thin body. He looks like an English housekeeper. He smiled when he saw Jin Muchen come in.

"Welcome, sir! Butler is pleased to serve you."

As soon as he opened his mouth, it was indeed the tone of a British housekeeper, which made Jin Muchen stunned.

"Uh...you're too polite..."

"It doesn't matter, you don't need to be cautious, just look at it casually. If you like it, you can greet me."

The stall owner obviously realized Jin Muchen's restraint, and quickly greeted him, then quietly walked away.

It's a strange guy, Jin Muchen thought to himself when he looked at the back of the stall owner, then turned around and started to look at these things in the tent.

Obviously, these items on display were bought, and Jin Muchen also saw that these should be antique furniture from Europe.

For example, the desk, the chair, the bookcase at the back, and the books on the bookcase are all old objects and should all be classified as antiques.

But what attracted his attention the most was the pair of globes on the desk. The size of the globes was not very large, with a diameter of about 20 centimeters. The workmanship was very beautiful. , or is not flashing a very strong red and yellow light.

Although other furniture and books also flickered with various lights, they were not as strong as the globe in front of them.

He came to the writing desk, and then reached out and fiddled with the globe. The globe didn't know what year it was, but it was well maintained and turned freely, without any jerky meaning.

And after I got started, I realized that this was not a pair of globes, it should be a celestial globe, a globe.

The celestial globe was painted with all kinds of astronomical astrology, and it was the first time that Jin Muchen saw such a celestial globe.

The globe is definitely an old object at a glance. Australia on this globe is marked as New Holland, and New Zealand is also classified as owned by Antarctica.

It is heavy when you pick it up and upside down. It seems that the material should be very solid. At least the base is not gold-plated. If you read it correctly, it should be pure gold.

If it is an old object from the 18th century, and the base is made of pure gold, it must be a lot of money. After all, in those days, there were not many big dogs who were willing to use pure gold for the base of the globe.

Jin Muchen probably had a judgment in his heart, and then called the stall owner dressed as a housekeeper over.

"Butler, how do you sell celestial globes and globes?"

"The heirloom of the French aristocracy in the 18th century, asking for $300,000, no bargaining!"

Ho! When I heard this quotation, I could be considered a knowledgeable person. This quotation is not very cheap, but it cannot be said to be expensive, and it is also very particular.

Just for the status of this pair of celestial globes and globes as antiques, as well as the excellent workmanship, this pair of treasures is absolutely worth the price.

If you can explain the origin of this thing, then the price must be going up somersaults. Of course, it is precisely because he does not know the origin of this thing that Butler only quoted 300,000.

Jin Muchen touched his chin and was silent.

"Well, Butler, can you tell me the origin of this thing?"

Jin Muchen knew about such a thing~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If it is an authentic product from the 18th century, it is not something that everyone can afford, there must be some background.

So he wanted to know more about the origin of the pair of celestial globes and globes, but this Butler obviously didn't know too much.

"Um...Sir, I'll just say it straight, this is what I received when I traveled to Europe a few years ago. As for the origin, I haven't studied it too well, but what is certain is that this pair of celestial globes And the globe, it must have been owned by the French nobles at that time, this is the only information I can provide, if you don’t believe it, we can do carbon 14 identification.”

As soon as he heard this Butler faltering, Jin Muchen probably knew that this thing should be stolen goods from Europe, or a treasure lost in the war, but that's fine, if this pair of treasures knew the inheritance, it certainly wasn't. That's three hundred thousand.

"OK! No problem, wrap it up for me, but three hundred thousand. I don't bring so much cash. Do you accept cash checks here? Or is it okay to transfer money?"

"It's okay to have a cash check, but it's okay to transfer it!" (To be continued)
