Chapter 37: The gallery is stunned
At 9:20 p.m., a black shadow flashed out of the small alley opposite and went straight to the "Lan Kwai Fong Gallery", at this time Lao Zhou and Li Chong, who were squatting in the "Lan Kwai Fong Gallery", had been transferred to Dacheng Shannan to search for Ji Yu. The black image flashed ghostly across the road, jumped onto the balcony with one hand, grabbed the railing on the second floor, and jumped onto the balcony.
At this time, Millie, the female boss of "Lan Kwai Fong Gallery", is sitting in a rattan chair while drinking tea while looking at a freehand landscape painting "Lanzhu Weeping Willow" hanging on the wall, it is said that this painting is a painting approved by the late Qing Emperor Puyi, the author of the late Qing Dynasty famous painter Zhu Qiyuan, the painting is a woman sitting alone in the attic in the shade of the river and willows, holding the guqin to play the repertoire of the scene, the upper left corner of the painting has Puyi's inscription "Jianglan Spring Strong" five words, and Puyi's seal is also held.
This painting was smuggled back to China by Millie who went to Japan the year before last, and was originally hidden in the underground secret room and did not dare to make it public, because it had been illegally plundered by Japan, and if it was discovered, it would not only be difficult to keep it, but also there was a risk of smuggling cultural relics. This time I took it out because my husband brought a Japanese distinguished customer to visit the store, and she suddenly wanted to hang this painting in her office on a whim to show her identity.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a hand reached in and turned off the light in the room, and then a man flashed in. Millie was taken aback, and just wanted to stand up and scold her, but the man was already sitting across from her.
Millie couldn't help but exclaim: Ji Yu?
Although the light was dim, Millie could clearly see the person on the other side's clothes, he was wearing a beige trench coat, a black top hat, wide-rimmed glasses, especially another scar under the ear on the left side of his face, which was definitely Ji Yu's trademark. Millie seemed to be sleepwalking, she clearly remembered that major media reported the case of Ji Yu being killed on the street on the west bank of the Luan River on October 2, and even distributed photos, but now Ji Yu was sitting alive in front of her. The terrifying hallucinations instantly filled her mind, she felt that cold air was oozing all over her body, and she didn't even dare to look directly at Ji Yu's face.
Fake Ji Yu stretched out his index finger and made a silent movement on his mouth, this action made Millie even more convinced, Ji Yu usually makes this action occasionally when he comes to the store, at that time she thinks Ji Yu is very fashionable and cool to do this action, and even likes Ji Yu at that moment.
Millie asked in a trembling voice: Are you a human or a ghost?
Fake Ji Yu pointed up with his finger again, meaning that God sent me. Who knew that this action made Millie misunderstand, she thought that Ji Yu was referring to the "Lan bamboo weeping willow" hanging on the wall.
Millie hurriedly said: Brother Ji Yu, I can't stand you, I shouldn't have sent someone to rob you, but I never expected that Duan Biao's bastard would kill you too darkly, and no one complained that I was too greedy to get this broken painting back, and I didn't complain how you want to punish me.
Fake Ji Yu's fingers froze in mid-air when he heard this, and he just wanted to ask what was going on, but Millie hurriedly said: On October 2nd, my husband invited Japanese guests to the store as guests, and I suggested that I invite you to accompany me, when you took pictures of the three of us, I ignored that there were still paintings on the wall, and after you left, I suddenly realized that this painting was also photographed, I was afraid that this painting would be exposed, and I wanted to find an opportunity to ask you to come home and tell the truth so that you could delete the photos in your mobile phone. Who knew that a stranger called that night and said that you were going to take the photo to Sun Guangtang for exposure, I was scared so I asked Duan Biao to go to the west bank of the Luanhe River to rob your mobile phone, the purpose was to delete the photo of your mobile phone, I really didn't instruct him to kill you, I just want to take back the photo, please spare me!
Fake Ji Yu lowered his voice and asked: Who called you?
Millie replied: I didn't hear it, I was scared at the time, and I didn't ask who it was.
Fake Ji Yu asked again: Male or female?
Millie replied: Male.
Fake Ji Yu then asked: Does he know that I am walking on West Bank Street?
Millie replied: He told me, saying that you go to the "Kexin Sweat Steam Hall" to find Director Sun to expose it, and go to West Bank Street.
Fake Ji Yu asked: You just asked Duan Biao to kill me?
Millie even said in a worried and scared voice with a crying voice: No, how can I let him kill you, to be honest, I like you very much, but I don't have a chance to tell you, I just want him to snatch back the photos in your phone.
Fake Ji Yu deliberately pretended to be hoarse and asked: "Gross, what about the half of the ancient paintings?"
Millie asked suspiciously: What half of the ancient painting? I only have this one painting, and I don't have any other ancient paintings.
Fake Ji Yu asked again: Who gave you the news again?
Millie replied: It's an anonymous phone call, he told me that you are going to the "Kexin Sweat Steam Hall" to find Sun Guangtang to expose this painting of my house, I really don't want to kill you at all, if I break the sky and hit five thunders.
Fake Ji Yu said: You don't tell the truth.
Millie hurriedly said: Really Brother Ji Yu, I really didn't want to kill you, Duan Biao later called me and said that the phone was snatched back, and I asked him how you were, he said that he just stunned you with an electric shock baton, and said that you only have three photos in your phone, who would have thought that he killed you, I have been terrified these days. Millie whimpered and sobbed.
Fake Ji Yu asked coldly: Don't cry, ask you about the "Shuangsuo map"?
Millie looked at the fake Ji Yu with a blurred eye and asked: What picture?
Fake Ji Yu said: Shuangsuo map?
Millie said: I don't know what you're talking about, I really don't, I swear.
At this moment, there was a sound of walking in high heels, and the fake Ji Yu originally wanted to ask Duan Biao's whereabouts, but the sound of footsteps disrupted his thoughts, and he stood up vigilantly and said to Millie: When the police came, you told them that I had come, as for what you just told me, tell them whether you can say it or not, and I don't kill you because I forgive you, but I still have a lot of things to figure out, but I will still come to you.
After saying that, the fake Ji Yu dodged and hid behind the door, and the high heels stopped in front of the office for a long time before knocking lightly on the door twice, Millie said hesitantly: Come in.
The door was pushed open, and a young female secretary said: Why don't you turn on the lights? As she walked in, she was suddenly dragged into the house just as she stepped into one foot, and someone left her outside. The female secretary staggered a few steps forward, but she still saw the person's appearance, and she stared at a pair of big eyes and shouted: "My mother! Ji, Ji Yu?
The female secretary is still relatively bold, and a few minutes later, she dared to go around the gallery, where was Ji Yu's figure, and she called the police without telling Millie.
Ten minutes later, Li Nuo, Lao Zhou and Li Chong came to the "Lan Kwai Fong Gallery" and met Gao Gao downstairs in the gallery.
Millie was taken aback when she saw Li Nuo come in, she glanced at the female secretary with reproachful eyes, then stood up and greeted the two uninvited guests, she said: Thank you for coming so soon, but it scared me to death.
The female secretary stood timidly next to her, she knew that she had done something wrong again, and when she saw that the boss regretted her recklessness with a miserable face, she hurriedly made tea.
Li Nuo asked: Sister Mi, your secretary said that Ji Yu came just now?
Millie pondered for a long time before saying, "Yes, he's been here."
Li Nuo said: It can't be fake, right? Makeup, I guess I've already removed my makeup and run away by now.
Millie said: No, he often comes to my store, and he is a friend, maybe he died unjustly... Or if you want to visit your friends, it's nothing.
Li Nuo asked: Sister Mi, can you tell you in detail what he told you?
Millie said: I'm sad about Ji Yu's death, and now I'm in a bad mood, can I talk about it another day?
Li Nuo couldn't help but think when she heard Millie say this: Looking at Millie's frightened appearance, she might have really seen someone who looked like Ji Yu, and since she didn't want to say it, she couldn't force her to ask. She immediately said: Okay, Sister Mi, you rest first, and we'll come back tomorrow.
Li Nuo stood up and was about to go out, but the high-end was coming in, and the two almost collided. Gao Gao put his hands on her shoulders and pressed her back in the chair, he looked at Millie, and when he saw Millie's face pale and her lips purple, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips. At this time, Li Nuo stood up again and pushed the high-end to walk out, the high-end turned around obediently, and suddenly he glanced at a painting hanging on the wall, he stopped and took a cursory look, the painting showed a willow tree dotted with bamboo groves, and a woman sitting alone in the attic on the shore played a harp under the tree, the picture was fresh and elegant.
Li Nuo still pushed the high-end out of the door, she said: Look at how exquisite the life of rich families is, and the paintings are so elegant.
At this time, the female secretary came up from downstairs with a tea tray, and the high-end stopped her and asked: Beauty, didn't your gallery even press a surveillance camera?
The female secretary smiled bitterly and replied: I was about to press it, I knew that I would press it so early.
High-end Q: What is the name of the painting on the wall of your boss's office?
The female secretary said: That's Sister Mi's beloved thing, I don't know what it's called.
The high-end dodged and let the female secretary pass, and the female secretary turned around and asked: Don't you drink some tea?
Li Nuo said: No, you can send it to your boss quickly, she has a bad face, you take care of it.
Gao Gao dragged Li Nuo to the bathroom, Li Nuo broke free of his hand and said: What are you going to do? This is the men's restroom. Gao Gao pointed to the men's toilet and said: Ji Yu may have jumped out of the window of this toilet to escape, I can predict that he is a man, and he has not left footprints or anything like that.
As he was talking, he heard the sound of brakes downstairs, and Gao Gao and Li Nuo walked downstairs to see Liang Hao and Zhao Yong hurrying towards the gallery. Li Nuo asked: Brigade Liang, where did you come from?
Liang Hao reluctantly smiled and replied: Gushu Town, hard work, just now Zheng Ke called me and said that he had found Ji Yu, so the two of us hurried over.
Gao Gao said: That's right, Team Liang, it was Ji Yu's soul who came to harass Boss Mi, Boss Mi was so frightened that his face was pale and trembling, he couldn't tell anything, you go up and comfort her, by the way, ask about the situation, let's go back first.
Liang Hao didn't squeak anymore, glanced at the high-end, turned his head and said to Zhao Yong: Go check what is abnormal upstairs and downstairs, especially the balcony and toilet.
The high-end made a grimace at Li Nuo and walked out, walked outside the building and asked Li Nuo: Do you know the relationship between the two?
Li Nuo glanced at Gao Gao and said: As if you know.
After speaking, Li Nuo telegraphed Zheng Guoqiang of the situation, and the group immediately got in the car and went back to the "Second Criminal Investigation Division".
When Liang Hao walked into Millie's office, Millie had not yet come to her senses, and was drinking hot tea from the secretary, looking frightened. When Millie saw Liang Hao come in, tears suddenly appeared in the corners of her eyes, and she said: Ji Yu came to me.
Liang Hao looked at her silently and asked: Are you sure it's Ji Yu?
Millie said: Absolutely, I know him too well, and there is a scar on the left side of his face, it is him.
Liang Hao asked: What is he doing here?
Millie saw that Liang Hao was in a much better mood, she said: He sat there for a while without saying anything, and Xiao Zhang came in to look for me and he fled.
Liang Hao asked: Why are the people from the "Second Criminal Investigation Division" here?
Millie glanced at the female secretary, and the female secretary hurriedly said: I found out that Ji Yu reported the case as soon as he was afraid.
Liang Hao turned his face and saw the "Lan Bamboo Weeping Willow" hanging on the wall and asked: What kind of painting is this? Millie saw Liang Hao ask the painting and chuckled in her heart, she said angrily: You go, I want to take a break.
After saying that, he got up and walked out of the office.
