Chapter 36: Tell the Truth

"Why did you go your separate ways?" Linghu Yunfei asked.

Zhen Keran rubbed his nose a few times, and then said: "At first, I-we didn't have enough funds, and the two of us together were enough, and after making money, Cai Yaohui started a new business, which - this is what we said from the beginning." ”

"No matter how good the relationship is, it's only a matter of time before we go it alone."

His eyes were still empty and dull just now, but his eyes seemed to be suddenly sober, and his words flickered a little.

Ling Hu Yunfei and Zhao Zimeng both noticed this.

"You inquire about Cai Yaohui, it is not that he has committed something. Director Tang knows me, and Cai Yaohui and I have broken up a long time ago! Boss Zhen tried his best to clear up his relationship with his former partner.

"Captain Zhao, Boss Zhen is a law-abiding business owner here in our business, and Boss Zhen participates in any public welfare activities in our industrial and commercial system every time." Director Tang was busy helping Zhen Keran play a round field.

"Boss Zhen, have you watched the TV news at noon today?" Linghu Yunfei said.

"What's the news? I had a drink with friends at noon and didn't watch TV. Zhen Keran picked up the cup in front of him, took a few sips of water, and then subconsciously rubbed his nose and looked at Ling Hu Yunfei intently.

"Yesterday, there was a murder and tomb robbery at the foot of the city's Ion Mountain. A robbery hole was found at the No. 117 demolition site in Huaigu Village, and two deceased people were found at the same time, one of them was a headless corpse. ”

"What does this have to do with me? I didn't do anything illegal! Zhen Keran showed a look of horror.

From the time he entered the office to the present, the expression on his face has changed very richly, like a flashing neon sign.

"You don't have to be nervous, Boss Zhen, I didn't say that this case is related to you, but your former partner Cai Yaohui may be related to this case." Linghu Yunfei said.

"Something to do with Cai Yaohui? What does it matter? ”

"Cai Yaohui's parents lived at No. 117 before the crime."

Boss Zhen's eyes widened, obviously the news brought by the two public security officers exceeded his expectations.

He took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from the pocket of his suit, popped out a few, and handed them to Zhao Zimeng, Ling Hu Yunfei and Director Tang one by one.

He took a few sips of "let-da-da", thinking and weighing what Ling Hu Yunfei said just now, it was obvious that this Boss Zhen was still drunk and fugue just now, which would make him completely sober.

"Boss Zhen, as law-abiding citizens, we have the obligation to cooperate with the work of the public security comrades."

"If it weren't important, this comrade wouldn't be here for most of the day. There are some questions that you must think about before answering. Director Tang persuaded.

After Boss Zhen lowered his head and took a few puffs of cigarette, he looked up at Zhao Zimeng and Ling Hu Yunfei, his eyes flickered left and right for a while, he rubbed his nose with the fingers of his right hand, and then said:

"Comrade Public Security, I'm sorry, I didn't tell the truth just now, I was worried about getting into trouble, so I told a lie."

"Boss Zhen, you can tell the truth, this is a good thing, there are only four of us here, what you say, only the three of us know, if you don't worry about Director Tang, we can ask Director Tang to avoid it." Zhao Zimeng said.

"Comrade Captain, no need, I can trust Director Tang. I am willing to answer all your questions, as long as I know them, and I will not hide them. "Boss Zhen is willing to cooperate fully.

"Now can you tell me the real reason why you and Cai Yaohui are separated?" Linghu Yunfei asked.

"There are two reasons."

"Cai Yaohui's heart is getting bigger and bigger, and he has long wanted to go it alone."

"He didn't think he had a head in the antique business, and he wanted to do that kind of underground business. I'm a timid person who doesn't want to make mistakes, and I don't want to get involved in this kind of business. ”

"You mean the underground trade in cultural relics?"

Zhen Keran nodded, took a few puffs of cigarette, and continued: "After he proposed the idea of working separately with me, I didn't say a word, and immediately agreed." ”

"Actually, I didn't want to be with him for a long time. At first, he took me to do it, but because of the situation, I kept waiting for him to speak. "Boss Zhen's words are very real.

Zhen Keran picked up the teacup and wanted to drink water, but the water in the teacup was gone, and he put the teacup back on the coffee table.

Director Tang stood up, picked up the hot water bottle, and poured Zhen Keran most of the glass of water.

Boss Zhen nodded at Director Tang, and then said: "Before breaking up, he did it behind my back a few times, and he did make some money, but I felt that the money was biting, so I advised him not to do anything illegal." ”

"But he didn't listen to me, and when we parted, he went out of the bunk and got a bigger bunk in the second district. He had only one request for me. ”

"What requirements?"

"He told me not to mention it to anyone. We used to be friends, and he really didn't mean anything to me. But I really haven't told anyone about it. Originally, I didn't want to say it, but since it involves such a big case, I can't help but say it. However, I have a request that I don't know when to say it or not. ”

"Boss Zhen, please speak." Linghu Yunfei said.

"Please don't let Cai Yaohui know that I told you this. He brought me into the curio door, and he didn't do anything to be sorry for me. ”

"Okay, we can promise you. It is our responsibility to protect the relevant parties, and there are many ways for us to obtain information, and Boss Zhen does not have to worry. ”

"When you say that, I'm relieved." Boss Zhen picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.

Boss Zhen and Cai Yaohui are friends, and they have been together for a long time, so he should know a lot of things about Cai Yaohui.

"What else do you know about Cai Yaohui?"

"Cai Yaohui studied archaeology in college. Later, he was admitted to graduate school, majoring in cultural relics appraisal, his father was a famous painter, and Cai Yaohui was studying for graduate school, which was helped by his father. ”

"We've got that out of here." Linghu Yunfei said.

Zhen Keran took a few more sips of water, probably because he was thirsty for too much wine, and he was very thirsty:

After graduating, he stayed at the school, where he taught archaeology, but privately continued his research on the identification of cultural relics. He does have a hand in this. ”

Zhen Keran wiped the water on the corner of his mouth with his hand, and then said: "It was because he had this unique skill that he later quit his job at the university and partnered with me to open an antique store." ”

"At first, it was okay, but then I slowly found out that opening an antique store was just a cover for him, and he actually wanted to resell cultural relics under the guise of an antique store."

"Does Cai Yaohui have a special channel for cultural relics trading?"

"Yes, he has channels." This Boss Zhen really knows a lot.

"Tell us more about it."

"Two captains, can we talk in another place, this is the office of the management office, and someone may come at any time." Zhen Keran rubbed his nose and said - he was very cautious.

"Okay," Ling Huyun said.

"There is a tea house across the road and there are not many people there. Otherwise, let's go to the teahouse and find a private room to talk. Boss Zhen said.

"Yes." Zhao Zimeng agreed to the request.

"Then I'll take the first step, Baihua Hall on the second floor, I'll order tea and wait for you."

"Okay."

Boss Zhen stood up, pushed open the office door, stretched out his head to look left and right for a while, and then walked out of the office.

Zhao Zimeng and Ling Hu Yunfei, both Boss Zhen, are a good breakthrough in this case, and others are very cooperative.

According to Boss Zhen, this Cai Yaohui not only has a channel for the shipment of cultural relics, but also a channel for purchase. It seems that Professor Cai's second son is indeed not small, and he is a very important "corner".

Could it be that he is the real culprit of the "10.5" case?

After this group of tomb robbers plundered the burial goods in the ancient tomb of the late Ming Dynasty, the next thing to do should be to make a move.

Antique shops have both shipping channels and more funds. This should be an important purchase channel for Cai Yaohui, and for tomb robbers, antique shops are not an excellent shipping channel.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Cai Yaohui and the tomb robbers colluded with each other and directly participated in the tomb robbery.

There are a certain number of bronzes in the ancient tomb of the late Ming Dynasty in Ion Mountain, and these bronzes are relatively large, and there are many inconveniences in transportation, so it should be a good choice to sell the stolen goods on the spot.

After a while, Zhao Zimeng and Ling Hu Yunfei bid farewell to Director Tang and walked out of the antique trading market.

Across the road from the antique market, there is indeed a two-story teahouse. The name of the tea house is "Tea House".

Two people walked into the "Tea Tasting Building", there were few tea customers in the store, and they went directly to the second floor.

At the end of the corridor there is a private room, which is the "Hundred Flowers Hall".

The door of the Hundred Flowers Hall was open, Zhen Keran was sitting inside, and a waitress was serving tea.

Boss Zhen saw Zhao Zimeng and Ling Huyun flying, stood up, and led the two to a chair and sat down.

To the south and east of the Hundred Flowers Hall are floor-to-ceiling windows, through which you can see the main road and the antique market across the main road.

After the waitress poured the tea, she exited the private room and closed the door of the private room.

The conversation continued.

"Boss Zhen, can you tell us about Cai Yaohui's shipping and purchase channels?" Linghu Yunfei said.

"I'm here to tell you about it." Boss Zhen looked serious.

"Boss Zhen, thank you for your support of our work."

"You're welcome. A few years ago, some people came to Cai Yaohui to identify cultural relics. ”

"Some of them have been successfully traded, and the people who bought them are afraid of being deceived, so please give Cai Yaohui a palm."

"Some are being traded, but they haven't been traded yet, and over time, Cai Yaohui found that this is a good way to make money."

Later, he somehow figured out the way and simply bought it himself.

After that, naturally, someone bought cultural relics in his hands, so that he didn't have a shipping channel; When the Hukoumen antique trading market first started, there were often some people who took cultural relics to the trading market to wander around. ”

"Of course, there are also people who peddle fakes on the market."
