Chapter 851: Auction (3)

From an artistic point of view, a high-level painting is priceless. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

From a practical point of view, it is just a painting, which can neither be eaten nor spent as money, at most it can play a decorative role, so there is a saying of "prosperous antiques, troubled gold".

As expected, there is a work that sold for HK$3 million at the bottom, the author has passed away, has a high artistic value and investment value, and the "Far Mountain" that is being auctioned is more popular than the previous auction of calligraphy and paintings, and there have been 12 signs since the start of the auction.

"360,000, 360,000, No. 67 bid 360,000!"

"No. 92 bids 380,000, is there anything higher?"

……

The auctioneer really got into the groove, waving a small hammer and shouting hoarsely.

The two hosts stood on the left, the other on the right, one was engrossed in paying attention to whether anyone was holding a card, and the other was giving an encouraging look to the guests who had raised the card before, and the atmosphere was warm and the competition was fierce.

Gao Xinru frequently raised his cards and once again ushered in thunderous applause.

She seemed to be encouraged, perhaps infected by the atmosphere of the scene, and seemed to enjoy the feeling of being in the limelight, so excited that she stood up, smiled from ear to ear, and nodded her head to the applauding guests.

Han Bo stared at the projection screen and said: "It seems that I am determined to win, but in fact, it is not professional at all. ”

Xue Siyu was stunned, and suddenly reacted: "It's not very professional, the price is increased by 20,000 yuan each time, it can't deter competitors, and it won't fight psychological warfare." ”

"Maybe that's what she wants. ”

"It doesn't matter who took the painting, what matters is the final price!"

"The amount of an author's work, especially the amount that flows into the market, directly affects how much the work is worth. I have consulted with industry insiders, and in the case of unknown number of works, the sale of this "Far Mountain" for 400,000 yuan is already very high, and the previous high price in Hong Kong can only be used as a reference, not as a reference. ”

Han Bo crossed his arms and continued: "The price at which this "Far Mountain" was finally sold can be used as a price reference when the fake "Fengyun" in Hong Kong enters the market again. ”

The whereabouts of "Fengyun", which was auctioned by Hong Kong Suntech Auction House, is unknown, and Huang Jiahui said when questioned that the trustee returned it to Wu Cheng after buying it, and Wu Cheng did not bring it back to Dongshan, and it is unlikely that it will be pulled in Room 12-02 of Xinqiao Community like "Sunset", where did the painting go?

Could it be that Huang Jiahui is hiding the whereabouts of "Fengyun", and "Fengyun" is still in her hands?

Xue Siyu thought for a while and asked in a low voice: "Even if "Fengyun" is in the hands of Huang Jiahui, it is unlikely that she will make a move in a short time, otherwise there will be no three hundred taels of silver here, and it will be clear to tell us that she is not telling the truth." ”

"Han Bureau, I don't quite understand what you just said, if "Far Mountain" is finally sold for 400,000 yuan, even if it is 500,000 yuan, won't the original "Fengyun", which was fried to 3 million Hong Kong dollars, depreciate?" Chang Caiyan couldn't help but ask.

"As long as it can be sold for more than 400,000 yuan, "Fengyun" will not depreciate, and even appreciate. ”

Han Bo lowered his arm and turned around to explain: "Because that one is larger than this one, and the painting is a human-human body, the difficulty of painting is greater than this one, and the requirements for artistic skills are higher than this one, and it is also more popular than this one in the oil painting investment and collection market." In addition, it is necessary to take into account the regional differences, which can be auctioned for 400,000 yuan in the mainland and 800,000 yuan in Hong Kong. ”

Interlacing is like a mountain, and it is an immature and non-standard business.

This case is very brain-burning, the more Xue Siyu thinks about it, the bigger his head becomes, and muttered: "It is almost certain that the whereabouts of the valuable "Fengyun" are unknown, and the thirty-one works entrusted to the gallery for consignment are not known, but Wu Cheng's other works, that is, those sent by Jiang Lan, should be found. ”

"It's more than 400,000,000," Han Bo pointed to the projection screen: "Jiang Lan is waiting for news, she must think that these paintings can be sold at a high price, and the ones she gave out are very valuable, maybe as soon as she receives a call from Chen Yulin, she will try her best to get the paintings back from relatives and friends." ”

Xue Siyu, like Li Xiaolei, also felt that the investment in art collection was unreliable, no different from cheating, and sneered: "Rare things are expensive, if she really does this, dozens or even hundreds of paintings will flow into the market at once, and it is estimated that Wu Cheng will be brought back from the dead, and if he dies a few times, he will not be able to sell at this price." ”

"It's someone else's to send it out, and it's not so easy to go back. But one thing is for sure, when the news of Wu Cheng's works being sold for a high price came back, it was impossible for those who owned his works not to have the idea of cashing out. ”

Chang Caiyan asked in surprise: "Wu Cheng's painting will depreciate, whether it is the current one or the one that was hyped before?"

Han Bo nodded: "So I have always been unable to figure out how the murderer can control the risk, or how the murderer can ensure that Wu Cheng's paintings only go up and not down." ”

"Jianfeng, has anyone ever gone to Dongshan to buy Wu Cheng's paintings?" Xue Siyu stood up suddenly.

"Reporting to the Xue Bureau, I especially told the comrades in Dongshan to pay attention to this aspect of the situation, and even inquired about the whereabouts of 12 of the paintings on the side with the assistance of my colleagues in Dongshan, and I did not find anyone deliberately buying them for the time being. Lao Xu said on the phone that no one over there thought of buying and selling paintings, and no one thought that Wu Cheng's paintings would be worth much. ”

"Keep watching. ”

"Yes. ”

While analyzing the case, the auctioneer knocked down the hammer.

Wu Cheng's first work was sold for 440,000 yuan, and a successful man in his 50s auctioned it off. There are only three in total, and the competition in the second one is more fierce than the first, Gao Xinru still frequently raises cards, and is still the focus of the audience, but people's eyes have completely changed when they look at her, obviously thinking that she is a nursery.

Just when Han Bo secretly wondered if someone would not like her, she was tricked in this round of bidding, and when she added 400,000 yuan and no longer added it, so that the painting was smashed in her hands, a surprising scene appeared.

Huang Jiahui got up suddenly, bent down to apologize to the guests in the same row, left his position, and walked straight out of the large conference hall, not to go out to answer the phone, nor to go to the bathroom, but ran to the door of the hotel in one breath, stopped a taxi, and gradually disappeared into the surveillance video.

Huang Jianfeng signaled the police to switch the monitoring signal back to the auction site, sat down and said: "There is no unsuccessful auction, the auction price is not low, you should be relieved." ”

Artists need inspiration to create.

The police also need inspiration to solve crimes.

Looking at the increasingly fierce auction scene on the screen, thinking of some of the details he had just analyzed, Han Bo's thinking became clearer and clearer, and he shot the case with a "snap", "Huang Jiahui is not a murderer, and Gao Xinru's mother and daughter are not accomplices!"

"Korean Bureau ......"

"It's very simple, she has been doing this for several years, and she knows very well the twists and turns inside, if she is a murderer, if she wants to make the value of Wu Cheng's works rise by killing Wu Cheng, then she can't imagine that there are dozens or even hundreds of Wu Cheng's works in Dongshan, and it is impossible not to know that once those works enter the market, everything she has done before will be wasted. ”

Chang Caiyan felt that the leader's analysis was very reasonable, and couldn't help adding: "She has such a close relationship with Wu Cheng, it can be said that it is not her Wu Cheng who will not come to Shenzheng, and it is not her Wu Cheng who will not die in Shenzheng." As long as something happens to Wu Cheng, the first suspicion we suspect is her, she can't be so stupid!"

She can't be the murderer, so what is she hiding?

Han Bo pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head: "Comrade Jianfeng, have you checked her financial situation, and whether you have her bank records. ”

Key suspects, how can they not be investigated.

Huang Jianfeng said without thinking: "I have checked, there is an electronic version of the record in Xiao Liu's computer. ”

"Tune it out, I'll see. ”

"Yes!"

The seemingly "useless" basic work is really important, Han Bo took the mouse, carefully studied the flow of Huang Jiahui's three bank accounts line by line, page by page, and found a suspicious point.

"Xue Ju, look at this, and this, transfer here and take it there, she didn't lie about her boyfriend studying in the United States, judging from these accounts, she is still sponsoring her boyfriend. January, February, March, April, May, June, and July didn't have a rollover, doesn't the boyfriend need funding, is it a breakup?"

Through the personal exchange quota, RMB is deposited here, and US dollars are withdrawn there, and the transactions are frequent, every month, but the amount is not large.

The more Xue Siyu looked at it, the more confused he became, and asked puzzledly: "Han Ju, what does this have to do with Wu Cheng?"

"When did the 31 paintings be consigned to the gallery?"

"May, June and July. ”

"Is this too much of a coincidence?" The more Han Bo thought about it, the more he felt that his speculation should not be wrong, and he couldn't help laughing: "I know what she is hiding, she is short of money, very short, so she beat the idea of the former teacher, and began to want to make a lot of money, and wanted to have a win-win situation with Wu Cheng, so she tricked Wu Cheng into falsely auctioning his works for hype, and the result was a failure, to be precise, it should be that she and Wu Cheng did not have so much capital, and they did not speculate in place." ”

"And then?"

Retreating to the next thing, she tricked Wu Cheng into entrusting the painting to the gallery for consignment, and she quietly bought it back. If I guessed correctly, those paintings were sold long ago, not sold at home, but by her boyfriend abroad, and the price is not expected to be high, but it is still profitable. ”

Huang Jianfeng blurted out: "Don't send money to your boyfriend, send paintings to your boyfriend?"

"It may also be taken back to China, or it may be entrusted to someone else to carry it. She treats the painter as a painter and wants to squeeze out all the value of Wu Cheng. As long as Wu Cheng continues to paint, she will make money, so Wu Cheng feels that after Shenzheng has no future and returns to Dongshan, she still has the cheekiness to make up the excuse that there is a big boss Wu Cheng's works and intends to cooperate with Wu Cheng to fool Wu Cheng back. ”

Seeing that everyone was suspicious, Han Bo said in an affirmative tone: "She said that she works in a cultural investment company, and she is still a department manager, but in fact, she is a broker of art such as calligraphy and painting!"
