Chapter 65: Summoning the Connoisseurs
On the morning of April 9, Huang Ying, the boss of "Kaiyuan Cultural Communication", Qiu Ying, the manager, Murong Amin, the host, and the three masters of cultural relics and treasures, Huo Kai, Min De, and Sun Guangtang, were summoned to the "Second Criminal Investigation Division" in turn, which was an order from Zheng Guoqiang.
Li Nuo invited Qiu Ying into his office, and she made Qiu Ying a cup of chrysanthemum tea. Li Nuo asked: Miss Qiu, how are you doing lately?
Qiu Ying smiled and replied: You still call me Qiu Ying or Xiaoying, I am now the life of the young lady's body, I was in a bad mood in the first few months, and now I am much better.
Li Nuo said: Then call you Xiaoying, I just got a general understanding of the situation, you are now the manager of "Kaiyuan Culture Media", are you familiar with these treasure experts?
Qiu Ying said: I am still quite familiar with Sun Guangtang, and the remaining two have long known that the daimyo has never dealt with each other, and they only met after the appreciation show was broadcast last week.
Li Nuo said: Did the person who came to the treasure appraisal site to do the cultural relics identification contact you in advance?
Qiu Ying replied: Don't contact me, there are staff, they will come to the scene to invite experts to appreciate after contacting, I am also a manager, I can't go to the front line in person for everything, and there are also contacts with TV stations.
Li Nuo asked: Is your backstage boss Huang Ying?
Qiu Ying replied: Yes.
Li Nuo asked: Huang Ying is also the manager of your "cultural communication"?
Qiu Ying said: No, she doesn't care about the media, she doesn't even ask, like you said, she is just the backstage boss.
Li Nuo said: The families of the people involved in the case in the past two years have all come together, which is too much of a coincidence, right?
Qiu Ying asked: What do you mean? Are you saying that my dad and brother are criminals and have something to do with me? Do you want to connect the nine clans?
Li Nuo hurriedly said: No, Xiaoying, I didn't mean to hurt you, by the way, how is your old man's health?
Qiu Ying said: My dad was released on medical parole, and it was my brother who caused him to be involved, and his diabetes is very serious, and now it is difficult to even walk.
Li Nuo asked: Let me ask you a digression, do you remember the half of the "Shuangsuo Picture" that your brother snatched in the "Luanshan Manor"? You are also a well-known connoisseur of cultural relics, and I want to learn more.
Qiu Ying smiled and said: I haven't seen that half of the painting, my family let the first half of the painting ruin the family, I don't want to mention it, to be honest, our Qiu family used to be a big family with a head and face in Luancheng, is there a lack of money? I think my brother is ridiculous, not to rob some manor, to get back half of the broken painting, alas!
Li Nuo asked: Xiaoying, your coal mine?
Qiu Ying sighed and said: What kind of coal mine, insolvent and bankrupt, otherwise I would not have been taken over by Huang Ying.
Li Nuo changed his words and asked: What do you think of Ji Yu's human skull appearing at the treasure appraisal conference?
Qiu Ying sneered and said: The situation is funny, Ji Yu has no grievances with my family, but when I think of the guy named Wen Wen, I hate it very much, he killed Jiang Xing and Tong Jiayi, and also designed my brother to fight with Ji Liang, and finally forced him to shoot and kill, I heard that he did it only when he worshiped the singer Gao Hong, not only killed but also committed suicide by jumping off the building, what a human tragedy! As for why someone got Ji Yu's head to the treasure appraisal site, I don't know, maybe it's to disgust you.
Li Nuo asked again: What is your relationship with Huang Ying?
Qiu Ying replied: It's okay, just a college classmate.
Li Nuo said: Xiaoying, I'm sorry, I'm also forced by my position, you can leave if it's okay.
Qiu Ying didn't politely stand up and picked up the bag and left, Li Nuo looked at the bag in her hand and thought, LV, to say the least, is worth tens of thousands of yuan, it's still good to be rich.
In the office next door, Wang Ning was asking Huo Kai, and Wang Ning said: Mr. Huo, the antique shop you opened in your provincial capital is famous far and wide.
Huo Kai said: It's a little famous, I was in the archaeological team when I was young, and I didn't have anything to do after I retired to open such a small shop, and I didn't point to it to make money, just play.
Wang Ning asked: Mr. Huo, do you know Ji Yu?
Huo Kai said: Ji Yu? I don't know, the skull is his? Who knows why that skull appeared at the Treasure Connoisseur Conference, I'm just a connoisseur of cultural relics.
Wang Ning asked: Mr. Huo, don't be excited, you are a famous cultural relics appreciation master, and a respected university professor, have you ever seen an ancient painting called "Splashing Ink Immortals"?
Huo Kai replied: I know, Liang Kai was a great painter in the Southern Song Dynasty, and "Splashing Ink Immortals" is his representative work, which is now stored in the Taipei Museum.
Wang Ning asked again: Mr. Huo should know Liang Kai very well, right?
Huo Kai replied: Understand a little bit.
Wang Ning asked: I heard that he painted a painting called "Shuangsuo Picture" at the same time as the "Splashing Ink Immortal Picture", what does Mr. Huo think about this?
After hearing this, Huo Kai looked at Wang Ning blankly for a while before saying: It seems that there is such a painting, right? Not sure.
Wang Ning asked: Mr. Huo, can you .......
Huo Kai patted his head and said: Comrade Xiao Wang, I'm a little dizzy, I really don't know about this matter.
Seeing this, Wang Ning guessed that an old expert like this was afraid of being laughed at if he said the wrong thing, but in fact, Wang Ning was even more afraid that it would be bad if he lay down in excitement, so he didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly called a colleague to send Huo Kai back.
In another office, Zheng Guoqiang was chatting with Mindel, feeling as relaxed and happy as chatting, Mindel shook his bald head and sat lazily on the sofa drinking the Tieguanyin that Zheng Guoqiang made for him, he said slowly: Brother Zheng, I am seventy years old, and the TV station invited me to be a treasure expert is conducive to people's happiness, you say that even if I want to shirk my heart, I can't say it, to be honest, I really don't like that little reward, but people make a special trip to invite me to come three times? Who would have thought that such a bizarre thing would happen to someone, and someone would take the head of a dead man for appreciation, and the security in Luancheng was too poor.
Zheng Guoqiang could see that this old man was definitely a stubborn person, it was useless to be calm with him, and it was even more useless to be tough, and he felt that he had no tricks and went to the bathroom. Min De looked at the person who asked him and was made to pee out, not to mention how proud he was, and secretly thought that you don't even know what cultural relics are, and you still bend around with me, if you don't say it directly, I won't let you succeed.
Min De was proud to receive a text message on his mobile phone, he opened it unhurriedly and saw that it was sent by Qiu Ying, writing: Cheng Lao, at 7 o'clock tonight, "Hongyan Restaurant" invites your old man to dinner, and I am waiting for you to attend after the time.
Mindel's happy hand shook and the phone fell to the ground, just as Zheng Guoqiang came in, glanced at Mindel's expression, bent down to pick up the mobile phone from the ground and handed it to him and asked: Teacher Min, what's wrong with you?
Mindel laughed and said indistinctly: It's okay to drink at night.
Zheng Guoqiang said: Well, it's a good thing, Mr. Min, I asked one thing, have you only seen an ancient painting called "Shuangsuo Tu"?
Mindel was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "Shuangsuo Tu"? Whose masterpiece?
Zheng Guoqiang said: It seems to be the famous painter Liang Kai of the Southern Song Dynasty, it is said that he painted two paintings at that time, one "splashing ink immortal picture" and the other "double suo picture", in 1300 years, the former one was circulated in the society is more famous, and is now preserved in the Taipei Museum of Taiwan Province, the latter one was collected by an official eunuch at that time has not been leaked, so it is rarely known, and some people say that it was not until the Ming Dynasty that it was passed into the hands of a small county-level official, One year, the small official told the old man to return to his hometown, and when he encountered heavy rain at the foot of Luan Mountain, he collapsed the mountain and buried it underneath, and it was dug up during the Republic of China.
Min De stared at him with a pair of wrinkled eyes as if he was stunned, Zheng Guoqiang was a little embarrassed by him and changed the topic and asked: Teacher Min, why are you looking at me like this, is there a problem with what I said?
As if waking up from a dream, Mindel said, "No, you don't know a lot when you're old?"
Zheng Guoqiang smiled and got up to refill his teacup with water and asked: Cheng Lao, have you seen this painting?
Min Del shook his head and said: I can't remember seeing it, it seems that the old man is still short of knowledge, Brother Zheng has let me have a long experience, can I go?
Zheng Guoqiang laughed and said: Of course, I will send you.
Mindel made a stop gesture and said: Don't bother Brother Zheng anymore, I'll do it myself. With that, he walked out.
In the afternoon, the atmosphere in the small conference room of the "Second Criminal Investigation Section" was even more harmonious, and Sun Guangtang, the director of the Luancheng Cultural Museum, seemed to be in his own home, and he walked lightly in the room and said: It is this broken painting that has stirred up so many important events that affect people's lives, alas! I'm also lazy that my good brother Ji Yu's life is thin, I have to see that half of the broken painting when I see it, I killed myself, and I also took Huang Kaiyuan's life, and now I don't bother to say that this broken painting is gone.
Zheng Guoqiang sat on the sofa smoking and listened to Sun Guangtang's chatter, he didn't sigh with the cigarette on his fingers, and most of the smoke spontaneously combusted, he felt that the Sun Guangtang in front of him was difficult to connect with the master of cultural relics and art, so that he seemed to be a storyteller.
Zheng Guoqiang sat upright and asked: Mr. Sun, tell me about the "Shuangsuo picture", let me also have a long knowledge.
Sun Guangtang replied: What is there to say, it is the painting painted by the famous painter Liang Kai in the Southern Song Dynasty, perhaps because he was happy to paint two at once...... That's it.
Wang Ning seemed to suddenly realize, and hurriedly said: So that's the case, is it worth it?
Sun Guangtang said: We don't dare to estimate this.
Zheng Guoqiang almost burned his mouth with the cigarette butt in his mouth, and quickly pinched it in the ashtray, he said: The paintings that Mr. Sun does not dare to estimate must be worth a lot.
Sun Guangtang said: What's the use of that, this time it's completely over, let Huang Kaiyuan burn it, it stands to reason that Huang Kaiyuan's sin is great, but it's a pity that he died.
Wang Ning said: It wasn't Huang Kaiyuan who burned it, it was Liang Hao who burned it.
Sun Guangtang sighed and said: Whoever burned it is not the same, alas! It's a pity, priceless.
......
In Li Nuo's office next door, Huang Ying and Murong Amin were sitting, Li Nuo was asking about them, but the atmosphere of the inquiry was relaxed and leisurely, the three of them were similar to chatting, Li Nuo was very uncomfortable facing the daughter of the old section chief Murong Bin.
Murong Amin said: When that person's skull fell out, I thought it was an antique work of art, and as soon as Master Huo Kai said that he was going to call the police, I realized that it was a real human skull, and I was almost scared to death, Sister Nuo, who did you say was so difficult to beat up and make such a big joke with you?
Li Nuo said: It's not with us, it's your joke.
Murong Amin said: I can't see it, isn't Ji Yu's name engraved on the skull, it must be a challenge to you.
Li Nuo didn't want to compete with her, so he turned to Huang Ying and asked: Mr. Huang, what do you think of this matter?
Huang Ying smiled, smiled very brightly, she said: Section Chief Li, I am a person who sets up the stage, as for what happened on the stage, I don't care about it, it is my responsibility to pay the money, there is a case that needs to be solved by you, I can invite you to dinner.
Li Nuo listened to her words and thought to himself: Huang Ying has changed, and she has completely become a different person than when she was a nurse, and it seems that rich people are fickle. Li Nuo immediately changed the topic, she asked: When will you and the high-end get married?
Huang Ying was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: Hey, this question has to be asked high-end, I have long wanted to get married, but he refused, maybe he still thinks about other women in his heart, such as you Section Chief Li, maybe he is thinking about you, I heard that the two of you are almost glued together when handling the case.
Li Nuo laughed, she said: If he pretends to be me in his heart, he can't ask for it, but unfortunately, he doesn't look down on me, the person who gets a salary, he wants a sugar daddy.
Huang Ying was not angry, she said: Maybe, but I am rich, he is not tempted, who knows what that kid is thinking.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to deteriorate, Murong Amin hurriedly changed the topic, and she asked Li Nuo: Sister Nuo, when are you going to let us go? We're going to have a treat in the evening.
Li Nuo knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he simply said: Now.
Murong Amin said: Really, Sister Huang Ying, let's go.
Li Nuo watched the two of them walk out of the room and spat at the door.
