Chapter 153: Lure the snake out of its hole, and lure myself out? (Subscribe)
About half a month ago.
The Shanghai police and the Cultural Relics Bureau cracked an antique counterfeiting fraud case, and followed the clues to find multiple antique counterfeiting fraud cases, and the clues all pointed to one place.
The police tracked for half a month and finally tracked down a large underground workshop for antique counterfeiting.
However.
The current progress has only sealed the underground workshop, and the actual controller of this antique counterfeiting gang has not been caught.
If the "Qing Dynasty Chinese Entwined Branch Pattern Thin-Bodied Jade Bottle Replacement Case" is linked to the "Antique Counterfeiting Gang", and the same manipulator is behind the scenes, then the whole case begins to become clear.
Yes, being able to imitate a thin-bodied jade bottle so realistically and successfully replace the real thing, almost deceiving everyone, it is difficult for a single person to accomplish it.
Not to mention the difficulty of thin-bodied jade bottle jade carving, and the key link of replacement, it is necessary to avoid heavy surveillance.
Behind this, there should be a gang in action.
As for Lin Chuan and Youyou accidentally falling and damaging the thin jade bottle after the power outage, it should be as Lin Chuan guessed, which is part of their plan.
Then, Lin Chuan and Youyou are actually victims.
Directors Zhao Gang and Li Zeguang are both experienced people and quickly thought of this level.
At the same time.
They couldn't help but look at Lin Chuan twice more.
They can think of these things so quickly because they have been working hard for decades, honing and accumulating experience step by step.
But what about Lin Chuan?
He is only 24 years old, and it is said that his main job is an online writer.
Can writing online articles also gain experience, or is he born with such thinking?
That's right!
He is related to Mr. Zhong from the Hanjiang Provincial Police Department!
Zhao Gang is a little interested and wants to hear Lin Chuan's thoughts on this case.
So, he looked at Lin Chuan and asked, "Comrade Xiao Lin, you are the party involved in this case. If you were asked to investigate, how would you investigate?"
Lin Chuan was a little surprised. Facing the experienced police chief, he smiled and said, "In this regard, Director Zhao is an expert."
This is not modesty or flattery, this is the truth.
Zhao Gang became modest instead and laughed, "Maybe I can say something in investigating homicide and other types of cases. In the case of antique counterfeiting, I can't even tell the real antiques from the fake ones."
"Isn't there Director Li?" Lin Chuan laughed.
Li Zeguang, who was standing aside, heard this and waved his hands repeatedly, "I am ashamed. If Comrade Xiao Lin had pointed it out, I still couldn't tell that this thin jade bottle was fake."
"Comrade Xiao Lin, just tell me your opinion. It doesn't matter. We are all our own people here."
Police Chief Zhao Gang took advantage of the situation and brought the topic back to Lin Chuan.
The two directors seemed to be singing the same tune.
In the meeting room.
Everyone was shocked by the attitude of the two directors towards Lin Chuan.
At first, they just wanted to go through the process.
But what about now?
They looked like they were holding Lin Chuan and didn't want him to leave. They changed their address from "Lin Chuan!" to "Comrade Lin Chuan" and then to "Comrade Xiao Lin". The contrast was too strong.
Even You You, who was sitting obediently beside them, couldn't help but feel a little proud.
This is my treasure author!
At this time, a police officer poured tea for Lin Chuan and You You.
Lin Chuan took a sip, thought for a moment, and then said:
"My opinion is to block the news here first, secretly investigate the case of cultural relics replacement, and then issue a notice that a jade restorer is urgently needed to repair this thin jade bottle, and at the same time declare that this jade bottle will continue to be exhibited in the museum in the future!"
"Repair the jade, continue to exhibit..."
Police chief Zhao Gang murmured, and then his eyes lit up, "This is a good idea!"
The reason why the antique counterfeiting gang wants to create an accident is that they most likely do not want this imitation to continue to appear.
Then, continuing the exhibition is undoubtedly an unexpected move for them.
In addition, repairing jade will undoubtedly put the antique counterfeiting gang on the fire.
Because repairing jade requires testing of jade, if the jade restorer accidentally sees a little bit of counterfeiting clues, the counterfeiting gang will face the risk of being exposed.
Therefore, the antique counterfeiting gang is likely to strive for the quota of jade restorers.
This is called luring the snake out of the hole.
As for the case of the "Replacement of the Thin-bodied Jade Bottle with Chinese Scroll Pattern in the Qing Dynasty", there are not many people who have the opportunity to exchange the fake bottle for the real one, and then it will be the screening stage.
Of course, this is an idealized case handling process.
It is undeniable that the idea provided by Lin Chuan did make Zhao Gang and the people present brighten their eyes.
Ahem, Youyou was not brightened.
Because she didn't understand.
"Old Li, what do you think?"
Zhao Gang picked up the thermos cup, took a sip of tea, and asked.
Li Zeguang smiled: "I am not good at investigating cases, but I think Comrade Xiao Lin's method is very good!"
Zhao Gang laughed and made a decision directly: "Just follow Comrade Xiao Lin's method."
The efficiency of the Magic City Police Department is very high.
Not long after.
The announcements of "Recruiting Jade Restorers" and "The Thin-bodied Jade Bottle with Chinese Scroll Pattern in the Qing Dynasty will continue to be exhibited after restoration" have been drafted.
Once released, it quickly spread in the Magic City antique circle and rushed to the hot search of major platforms!
Since yesterday afternoon, the ‘Qing Dynasty Chinese Scroll Pattern Thin-Bodied Jade Bottle’ was ‘accidentally’ damaged, and this incident has continued to ferment online, causing widespread heated discussions.
So far, there are five or six hot searches about this incident on the list.
\u003e National treasure-level cultural relics were accidentally damaged! (hot)
\u003e Unable to be restored, the Qing Dynasty Chinese Scroll Pattern Thin-Bodied Jade Bottle was destroyed! (hot)

…
At this time, it was still noon.
The sun shone strongly on this prosperous city, and the air was filled with a faint floral scent, mixed with a little car exhaust smell, which was a bit pungent.
Lin Chuan and Youyou left the police station and walked into a crab roe noodle restaurant called ‘Crab Courtyard’, ordered and picked up the food, and sat in a corner.
After coming out of the conference room, Youyou returned to the way he looked when he first met.
She didn't dress up today, just wearing a simple white T-shirt and sky blue tight jeans, but her beautiful face was still as beautiful as a painting, bright and moving.
"Lin Chuan, you look so handsome today!"
Youyou smiled brightly.
Lin Chuan stirred the crab roe noodles in the bowl, looked up at Youyou, and said with a smile: "Don't praise me, I will be proud."
"Especially when you look at the light and shadow of the bottle, your profile is so handsome."
Youyou pursed her lips and smiled.
"Then you have to treat me to dinner tonight." Lin Chuan laughed.
"Of course."
Youyou raised her willow-leaf eyebrows, with a little arrogance on her face, and then stirred the crab roe noodles a few times and started eating.
After a long while.
Youyou's phone rang.
Information source: Mingyue.
Information: Youyou, take a look at the current hot searches!
Youyou had just eaten two mouthfuls of noodles, and saw Mingyue's message, and immediately opened the Kuaishou app to check the hot search list.
When she saw this, Youyou was stunned.
She looked at Lin Chuan who was still eating noodles, curled her lips, and said in a low voice: "By the way, there are a lot of hot searches today."
"What hot searches?"
Lin Chuan asked while eating crab roe noodles.
"It's the hot search about our accidental damage to cultural relics." Youyou pursed her lips and said.
"That's okay. I saw this hot search last night. After the case is solved and the truth is revealed, we will clear our grievances." Lin Chuan was not affected by this and continued to eat noodles with a big appetite.
"There are also people denouncing you."
"It's a small problem. The masses who don't know the truth vent their anger and scold me a few words. I will pretend that I didn't see it."
"You have a really good attitude."
"Of course, what else?"
"Nothing else, hey, a group of people jointly proposed to boycott your novel."
"What!?"
Lin Chuan's right hand holding the chopsticks suddenly froze, and his brows frowned tightly, "Someone wants to boycott my novel?"
"Yes."
Youyou pursed her lips and nodded, then sat next to Lin Chuan, put the phone in front of Lin Chuan, and clicked on the hot search list.
Lin Chuan immediately noticed one of the hot searches.
——Lin’s antiques last week
Lin Chuan clicked in.
A flood of comments appeared in front of Lin Chuan.
[I saw the photo of him being taken into the police car by the police. He is the online writer, Lin! ]
[I found his novel, Last Week’s Antiques! ]
[He is actually an online writer of antique novels. He is so careless with national treasures! ]
[If you don’t understand, just ask. Will you fall down in the dark in the museum and knock down a national treasure? ]
[National treasures, how big is this loss? ]
[Even if he writes a hundred novels, he can’t make up for this loss! ]
[The more I read, the angrier I get. A national treasure is on such a careless online writer! ]
[Thanks for the invitation! I am also an online writer. Don’t vent your anger on the online writer group. I’m really unfamiliar with it. ]
[Resist! I’ll report it now! ]
[Lin, you’re in jail after all! 】
【……】
After reading, Lin Chuan twitched his lips and muttered: "You can denounce me, but don't boycott my novel! I may be wrong, but the novel is not wrong!"
Woo——
"Last Week's Antiques" needs 20,000 popularity points (average subscription) to unlock the next experience profession.
If you boycott my novel now, it will take a long time!
No!
I have to think of a way to solve this case and clear my name!
Otherwise, how can I achieve 20,000 average subscriptions if the whole network boycotts my novel?
"We can't seem to prove this now." Youyou pursed her lips and comforted, "But there is a saying that my heart is bright and I have nothing else to ask for. When the case is solved, we will all be cleared!"
"Our novel should not be blocked, right?"
Lin Chuan was concerned about the novel.
Youyou pondered for a moment: "It shouldn't be."
Lin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued to eat noodles: "This matter is really a bit heartbreaking."
At this time.
He called up the system panel in his mind.
[Work: "Last Week's Antiques". 】
【Status: Available. 】
【Current popularity (average subscription): 5287/20000. 】
"Last Week's Antiques" was released on June 10th.
Now on June 14, relying on the traffic brought by anti-fraud, the average number of orders was quickly pushed to nearly 5,000 in the first three days. However, today it encountered resistance and the average number of orders increased very slowly.
The growth rate has directly changed from "high-speed train" to "green train".
No, it’s not even a green train, it’s directly turned into a two-legged bicycle.
Uh-huh...
Lin Chuan sighed softly and continued to eat crab roe noodles. After he was full, he tried to check for any clues to see if anyone wanted to restore the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Jade Vase with Twisted Branches'.
this moment.
Lin Chuan wanted to solve this case even more than the police comrades at the Magic City Police Station.
It didn't take long.
Ring ring ring——
Yoyo's cell phone rang again.
Caller ID: Chief Editor Zhang Yixing.
"The number from the editor-in-chief." Youyou just finished eating the noodles, picked up the phone and called Lin Chuan before answering.
"Yuyou, is it convenient for you to answer the phone now?"
On the other side of the phone, the voice of editor-in-chief Zhang Yixing came out.
Youyou glanced at Lin Chuan beside her, then looked around, and then replied: "Well, that's convenient. What's the matter?"
Zhang Yixing smiled and replied: "I mainly want to ask you about your current situation, how much compensation you have to pay, and whether you will face prosecution and serve a sentence."
"How much does the compensation cost..."
Youyou hesitated, and then said: "The police haven't determined the blame yet, and I don't know either."
Because the relevant information needs to be kept confidential, Youyou did not disclose the specific situation to editor-in-chief Zhang Yixing.
She and Lin Chuan, in the eyes of outsiders, are still in a state of being 'on bail pending trial'.
"Like This."
Zhang Yixing paused and then asked, "Yuyou, is Lin Chuan by your side?"
"Here, what's wrong?" Youyou asked.
"I have something to ask him about, and it may affect the development of your subsequent case." Zhang Yixing said with a somewhat deep voice.
"Is it related to the development of our subsequent case?"
Youyou frowned, with some confusion in her eyes, "Editor-in-Chief, please tell Lin Chuan."
"good."
Zhang Yixing responded.
immediately.
Youyou handed the phone to Lin Chuan, and Lin Chuan said: "Chief Editor Zhang."
"Brother Xiao Lin, this happened. I didn't sleep well last night, and you were all sweating." Zhang Yixing's tone was a little heavy.
Lin Chuan laughed and replied: "Let Chief Editor Zhang work hard."
"Where is this place? If you really go in, Qihang Novel will lose a strong general!" Zhang Yixing sighed softly, with a bit of regret in his tone,
It could be heard that he was really thinking about Lin Chuan and Youyou.
Lin Chuan smiled and said: "There is always a way, there is always a way."
"Brother Xiao Lin, you can be so optimistic, I feel relieved now." Zhang Yixing also smiled and continued, "Brother Xiao Lin, it's like this. I have been consulting people in the antique circle since last night. I wonder if there is any way to remedy this.”
"So, Chief Editor Zhang has found a way?" Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
"It's not that I found a way, it's that someone is willing to help you." Editor-in-chief Zhang Yixing replied.
"What about Mr. Hu?"
Lin Chuan was startled, remembering the scene of meeting him yesterday afternoon.
Before Hu Shu left the exhibition area, he did not forget to tell Lin Chuan that if Lin Chuan encountered any difficulties or needed anything, he could come to his "Ancient Moon" private museum to find him for help.
He's quite nice.
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Yixing nodded and confirmed: "Yes, it's Mr. Hu who loves talents. He just revealed it to me and I hope there is a good way to help you."
"What can we do?" Lin Chuan asked.
"He didn't say anything, he just invited you to come to his private museum of 'Gu Shiyue'." Zhang Yixing said in a calm voice, "Are you free now? I'll pick you up and help you ask Mr. Hu what's the method. "
Lin Chuan looked at Yuyou, then nodded: "Youyou and I are here in the Crab Family Courtyard."
"Okay, I'll pick you up."
Then, hang up the phone.
"Mr. Hu is willing to help you. It seems that he appreciates you very much." Youyou looked at Lin Chuan, blinked slightly, and smiled.
Lin Chuan smiled and said, "I had a good impression when we first met. Since he asked us to go, he should be sure of it. However, I am now a case investigator and must keep that part of the information confidential."
"Okay, I know." Youyou nodded.
It didn't take long.
Zhang Yixing drove a black Mercedes-Benz S450 and appeared outside the 'Xie Family Courtyard' store. Lin Chuan and Youyou got in the car and went straight to Hu Shu's 'Ancient Moon' private museum.
The magic city is very big. Zhang Yixing drove Lin Chuan and Youyou through the streets between high-rise buildings, bathing in the scorching sun, and arrived at their destination nearly an hour later.
The 'Ancient Moon' private museum is located in a manor in the outer ring of the city.
In the manor, the trees are lush and green, and the sunlight shines through the dense leaves on the bluestone paths, forming mottled light and shadow.
Lin Chuan, Youyou and Zhang Yixing walked through the bluestone path and saw Hu Shu wearing a long gown from a distance, waiting in front of the museum.
"Mr. Hu."
Lin Chuan arched his hands and waved.
"Mr. Xiaolin, I've finally welcomed you. Please come in." Hu Shu had an easy-going smile on his face and his voice sounded very refined.
"Then I'm sorry." Lin Chuan nodded.
Immediately, several people followed Hu Shu's footsteps and walked into Gu Shiyue's private museum.
The first floor is a spacious and bright hall.
In the middle of the hall, there is a huge sculpture with smooth lines and majestic momentum. Several precious paintings are hung on the walls.
For example, Li Kuchan's "Five Eagles" and Wu Guanzhong's "Jiang Nanchun".
There is also Western Impressionism, Claude Monet's "Water Lilies".
Several people walked through the hall, climbed up the spiral staircase, and arrived at the second floor, where they found various exhibition halls, divided into areas such as porcelain, calligraphy and painting, bronze, jade, etc., with a dazzling array of products, showing their prosperity.
On the third floor is Hu Shu's private reception area.
"Please take a seat."
Hu Shu stretched out his hand and motioned for several people to sit down.
Beside the tea table, there was a young girl wearing blue and white porcelain, brewing tea slowly and ritually, pouring a cup for everyone, showing a decent and gentle smile: "Tea, please."
Hu Shu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then looked at Lin Chuan: "Mr. Xiaolin, how is this museum?"
"Okay!" Lin Chuan said concisely and sincerely.
Hu Shu smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Xiaolin, I feel very sorry for what happened to you last night and for that 'Qing Dynasty Chinese jade vase with entangled branches and thin body'. I admire you." Talent, that jade bottle is my favorite cultural relic. "
As he spoke, Hu Shu sighed lightly.
Lin Chuan looked ashamed.
Zhang Yixing responded: "Mr. Hu, this is purely an accident and it is really unavoidable."
"That's right."
Hu Shu nodded, then looked at Lin Chuan, and continued, "I really admire Mr. Xiaolin very much, and I can't bear for you to suffer that jail sentence. Fortunately, not long ago, the Cultural Relics Bureau issued an announcement. A professional jade restorer, I just thought of a remedy. "
Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows: "Please give me Mr. Hu's advice."
"Mr. Xiaolin, your antique counterfeiting skills are top-notch. It will definitely be no problem to repair the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Jade Vase with Twisted Branch Pattern'." Hu Shu suggested.
"this……"
Lin Chuan's mouth twitched slightly, hesitating a little.
This is my strategy for the police. To lure a snake out of its hole, I can't lure myself out, right?
"Mr. Xiaolin, are you worried about the subsequent compensation issue?" Hu Shu leaned forward slightly and said earnestly, "If you are worried about this issue, I will donate a few dollars to the Cultural Relics Bureau and the Museum in your name. This valuable cultural relic will surely be able to compensate.”
"Mr. Hu, it is unreasonable to receive no reward for no merit." Lin Chuan declined politely.
"Mr. Xiaolin, you and I hit it off right away. If you feel you owe me something, you can repair and repair the cultural relics for me in my museum. It's better than squatting in prison, right?" Hu Shu sipped a cup of tea and said, "This In this matter, you are not only the party involved, but also your..."
"Yuyou is his editor." Zhang Yixing took over.
Hu Shu continued: "It also involves your editor, Miss Youyou, you might as well think about it more."
