"What are you doing collecting these?" Officer Wang was also a little amused when he saw Gu Chen's wave of operations.

If you want to talk about collecting evidence in handling cases, it must also be reliable evidence.

But Gu Chen is interested in guano, which is incomprehensible.

Or is it that Gu Chen has a certain habit?

For example, I like to play with cacti, and I play with myself when I have nothing to do.

So when Gu Chen is fine, do you still have to play?

"I think I've got to take something back. Gu Chen couldn't say it clearly now, but he just felt that something was wrong.

Officer Wang held a small meeting last time, and asked Gu Chen to report to him in time if he made a new discovery.

But if you don't know what you're sure of, it's useless to report it.

Accompanied by Takasugi, the three left the Tang family's alley and then rushed to the next investigation site.

In the car, Officer Wang, who was sitting in the back seat, made a phone call, and after communicating with the other party for a few words, he hung up the phone, and then ventilated with Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei.

"I just called an informant, so we can go to his place and have a look. ”

"Senior Brother Wang, what does this person do?" Gu Chen, who was driving, was a little curious and couldn't help asking.

"Reselling some calligraphy and paintings. Officer Wang briefly recalled for a few seconds, and said: "I robbed tombs in the early years, and I have been doing some duty work since I was released from prison, but I am senior in the calligraphy, painting and antiques industry. ”

Lu Weiwei leaned over and said curiously: "You say that this Ah Guta, is his calligraphy and painting really so valuable? It is actually worth 2 million." ”

"The clown is in the temple, the master is wandering. Gu Chen said with a word: "In fact, if it is placed in the auction house, it is estimated that it can be auctioned for more than 3 million." ”

"Really?" Lu Weiwei's eyes lit up when she heard 3 million: "This should be enough for me to eat the food streets of the whole country, right?"

"Just your appetite?" Officer Wang looked at her and quickly shook his head: "I guess it's hanging." ”

Lu Weiwei rolled up her sleeves and hammered Officer Wang, and the two fought in the back seat.

"Don't make a fuss, handle the case. Officer Wang also hurriedly dissuaded him.

Lu Weiwei's operation made her have no prestige at all in front of the probationary police.

Gu Chen drove the car, and he also shared what he had learned.

"In fact, this Ah Guta, who became famous very early and is also very mysterious, seems to have not appeared in the public eye for a long time. ”

"If it weren't for this report, I guess Senior Brother Gu wouldn't have seen him, right?" Lu Weiwei asked suddenly.

Gu Chen said: "When I was in elementary school, I saw a work by Aguta at an art exhibition, but then I was never heard from, and I even thought that Aguta had given up painting, after all, the life of an artist is very difficult. ”

"It's hard to talk about, right?" Officer Wang immediately disagreed, saying, "One of his paintings can be sold for two or three million, which is enough for Lu Weiwei to eat the food street." ”

"Not really. Gu Chen shook his head and explained: "Ah Guta's paintings have always been only used for his own collection, or donated to welfare institutions in the form of charity sales. ”

"So great?" Hearing Gu Chen say this, Lu Weiwei had some new views on this Ah Guda.

Officer Wang also couldn't help but say: "If you want me to say, it's really the master who is wandering, the clown is in the palace, in the past two years in the calligraphy and painting industry of Jiangnan City, I admire the old man who takes the needle and ink the most, and I can never erase the sentence good, good, good." ”

"Poof!" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but laugh, "Do you remember?"

"I've been on the hot search in Jiangnan City, can you not know?" Officer Wang also told the truth.

Mainly the old man who uses the needle to ink the needle, this wave of operations is so beautiful that it is very popular on major platforms.

According to Officer Wang's address prompt, Gu Chen drove to a painting and calligraphy museum by the river, and after parking the car, the three of them walked into the store together.

"Officer Wang, long time no see. A dark-skinned middle-aged southern man stepped forward to greet him warmly.

Officer Wang ignored him, walked directly into the store to observe left and right, and after making sure that there were no other customers, he asked, "Heizi, have any calligraphy and painting works circulated on the black market in the past week?"

The black market that Officer Wang mentioned is just a name between the lines.

The circulation and trading of calligraphy, painting and antique collections will need some brokers to connect buyers and sellers.

Most of the goods traded between them were private, secretly bought and sold, some of which were private collections, and some of which were stolen items.

The price of trading on the black market tends to fluctuate greatly, also known as the black market price.

"Yes, of course, every day. The man named Kuroko smiled and said, "But I don't know what you, Officer Wang, are referring to?"

"Have you ever heard of Ah Guta's works?" Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and handed over the work in the photo.

Kuroko frowned, and after thinking carefully for a few seconds, he said: "Ah Guda knows about this person, but his paintings have rarely flowed out, and there is very little circulation between buyers and collectors, so it is estimated that there is none." ”

"Are you sure?" Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, "This painting can be expensive, maybe between 2 million and 3 million." ”

When he heard this price, Kuroko was also taken aback: "So high, then I have to ask my little brother over there, you wait." ”

Kuroko took out his mobile phone and dialed several numbers in a row, and after fifteen minutes of talking, he replied: "Officers, the thing you said has not appeared on the market recently. ”

"No way. Officer Wang put his hands behind his back, looked at a painting on the wall and said, "You must have missed something, and then check it carefully for me." ”

Heizi also hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Officer Wang, otherwise, I'll ask the little brothers under me to ask, if there are clues, I'll tell you as soon as possible, do you think it's okay?"

Officer Wang looked at Gu Chen and asked, "What do you think?"

"Since the boss is an insider, he must have his own way, I think it can. Gu Chen was not against this kind of operation.

For the investigation of antique calligraphy and painting, the owner of the shop must get much better information in terms of professionalism than if he investigated it himself.

It is also very reasonable for professionals to do professional things.

Officer Wang agreed: "Okay, you can reply to me before six o'clock this afternoon." ”

"Okay, I'll get back to you if there is one. "The owner was quite polite and cooperative.

After leaving the store, Gu Chen drove to the Jiangnan City Auction House, which is currently the only formal auction house in Jiangnan City.

There are also some small private auction houses in the area, but as long as there are items that have been auctioned recently, you can find them in this area.

Officer Wang went directly to the manager of the auction house, a man in his forties with glasses who liked to wear formal clothes.

However, the results were still disappointing, and Aguta's painting never appeared at all.

"What should we do? Could it be that our investigation is in the wrong direction?" Lu Weiwei also said with a disappointed face: "Maybe this thief will temporarily avoid the limelight, and then take it out to sell the stolen goods when the limelight passes." ”

"You have a point. Officer Wang frowned, crossed his hands on his waist and said, "If this is the case, the time for the case to be handled may be delayed for a long time." ”

He then looked at Gu Chen, who was deep in thought, and asked, "Gu Chen, what are you thinking?"

"I'm wondering if I should go to the technical department of the city bureau and ask Forensic Doctor Liu to help identify the items brought out of Takasugi's house. ”

Officer Wang was shocked at the time: "You want to take a pile of bird feces for Forensic Liu to identify?"
