Chapter 155 It’s broken, the real target is Lin Chuan! (Subscribe)
Magic City, river bank and embankment.
The afterglow of the setting sun stretched the figures of Lin Chuan and Youyou very long, spreading them on the curb. The breeze blew gently, carrying the scent of vegetation and water vapor, making them look fresh and cool before the residual heat dissipated.
"Linchuan, are you okay?"
Youyou looked at Lin Chuan and asked with concern.
"Of course it's fine."
Lin Chuan smiled, then raised his arms and stretched.
"I just heard you mumbling to yourself, and I thought you couldn't stand it after reading the readers' comments in the group." Youyou smiled.
Lin Chuan smiled: "My psychological quality is not bad."
"I can tell." Youyou raised her eyebrows with a hint of ridicule in her tone.
"How could you tell?" Lin Chuan was startled.
"Others trembled when they entered the small dark room, and were frightened when they came out, but you, it seems that you still feel that it is not enough." Youyou pursed her lips with a smile on her face.
Lin Chuan twitched the corner of his mouth and immediately argued: "Yuyou, don't talk nonsense, I don't think it's not satisfying!"
"That's it, enjoyable?"
Youyou blinked, with a playful smile on her face.
A black line immediately appeared on Lin Chuan's forehead. He looked at Youyou and couldn't help but laugh a few times: "Yuyou, do you think I can't have enough?"
"I'm scared anyway." Youyou pouted.
"You won't be afraid if you go in a few more times." Lin Chuan said with a smile.
"You don't look like you, criminal suspect Lin." Youyou laughed and joked half-jokingly, "Bao Where should we go next?"
Lin Chuan smiled: "Go to the police station and face your fear."
"Ah?" Youyou was startled, "Do you really want to take me into the dark room?"
"Hahaha, I'm just kidding. I have an idea to solve the case that I want to mention to them." Lin Chuan grinned. Then, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhao Gang, the chief of the Magic City Police Department.
Toot toot—
As soon as the phone rang three times, the call was answered.
"Xiao Lin, by chance, I was just looking for you." Director Zhao Gang's voice came from the phone.
Lin Chuan was slightly startled and asked, "Director Zhao, are there any new clues?"
"This is not about the issue of candidates for restoration of cultural relics." Zhao Gang said.
Lin Chuan frowned slightly: "What a coincidence, I also want to talk to Director Zhao about the candidates for the restoration of cultural relics."
"oh?"
Zhao Gang's voice was quite puzzled as he asked, "Comrade Xiaolin, who do you recommend?"
Lin Chuan laughed and responded: "Myself."
This antique counterfeiting gang in Shanghai replaced the thin-bodied jade vase with Chinese branches from the Qing Dynasty, and planned an "unexpected incident". Lin Chuan happened to be the scapegoat for the "unexpected incident".
This also led to Lin Chuan being slandered and abused.
Of course, these are not big problems.
The most important thing is that "Last Week's Antiques" was boycotted and reported, which really cost Lin Chuan his life.
This is the most painful blow for an author.
Lin Chuan thought for a long time.
He decided to personally uncover this antique counterfeiting gang and send them in to prove his innocence. He took advantage of the situation to market his novel positively, and it went straight to 20,000 orders.
Therefore, for "Last Week's Antiques", Lin Chuan must 'sacrifice' the antique counterfeiting gang!
Sacrifice fiercely!
And personally repairing the replica of the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Jade Vase with Twisted Branches' was a key part of Lin Chuan's entry into the game, firmly holding the initiative in his own hands.
"yourself?"
On the other end of the phone, Police Chief Zhao Gang was slightly startled.
"Yes." Lin Chuan responded solemnly.
"Lao Li and I originally wanted to ask your opinion on who to choose to repair it." Zhao Gang chuckled and said, "What are the reasons why you want to repair it yourself?"
Lin Chuan looked at the river embankment. There were already many people coming and going, and said, "Director Zhao, I am not far from the police station. Why don't we negotiate in person?"
"It's just what I asked for. Lao Li happens to be here too."
Zhao Gang said with joy and excitement in his tone.
"Director Zhao, see you later."
Lin Chuan nodded, and then took Youyou to the police station.
The orange-red glow reflected by the sunset slowly dissipated in the western sky. Light and darkness intertwined. Under the gray-blue sky, neon lights gradually lit up, reflecting on the bustling streets.
Not long after, Lin Chuan and Youyou got out of the taxi and walked into the police station.
In the conference room.
The two directors, Zhao Gang and Li Zeguang, have been waiting for a long time.
"Xiao Lin, Youyou, you are here." Zhao Gang seemed very enthusiastic, motioning for the two of them to sit down, and poured them two more cups of tea.
Youyou sat obediently next to Lin Chuan, said 'Thank you, Director', and said no more.
She knew that it was because of Lin Chuan that she could drink the cup of tea that Zhao Gang poured.
These days, she was getting along with Lin Chuan, and unconsciously, she subconsciously believed that Lin Chuan was her backbone, so when Lin Chuan brought her with him, she followed.
Now, they are grasshoppers on a rope.
No, Lin Chuan was the rope, and she was the grasshopper holding the rope. After all, she was 'hugging her thighs'.
Lin Chuan thanked him and took a sip of tea.
Zhao Gang looked at Lin Chuan cheerfully and said with a smile: "Xiao Lin, I have been studying with Lao Li for a long time. The method of 'restoring cultural relics' you proposed before is indeed very useful."
"Did you discover anything new?"
Lin Chuan put down his tea cup and asked with a smile.
"It cannot be said that it is a new discovery, but many experts who participated in the appraisal of the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Jade Vase with Twisted Branches' before its return have also recommended some jade restoration masters. Some people have recommended you." Zhao Gang smiled.
For example, Gao Qinglin, the museum’s chief expert, and Cheng Qing, Lao Bai’s mentor, recommended many people to come.
"Are these people included in the key observation range?" Lin Chuan smiled.
Zhao Gang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Of course, I just discussed with Lao Li who is more suitable for repair, and I never thought you would open the phone and recommend yourself. Xiaolin, what are your plans?"
In the conference room.
Lin Chuan nodded and said, "I do have some ideas."
"Xiao Lin, please speak."
Zhao Gang looked directly at Lin Chuan and smiled.
Li Zeguang looked at Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan's eyes fell on the two directors, with a smile on his lips, and he spoke slowly: "Two directors, I recommend myself to restore cultural relics for two reasons. One is because I will be a good 'bait' , Secondly, we can take more initiative.”
After hearing this, the two directors looked at each other.
Lin Chuan is an outsider. Although he is not well-known in the Magic City antique circle, some people know that he has superior skills. If he restores cultural relics, the antique counterfeiting gang that planned this incident will soon target him or threaten him. Or inducement.
As for the issue of initiative.
Lin Chuan thought that by personally dealing with people suspected of counterfeiting gangs, he could identify suspects more quickly without missing any details.
Even if the counterfeiting gang does not take action, he can change his strategy and proactively release some news about "suspected antique counterfeiting" to lure the snake out of its hole.
This is his confidence.
It was also his determination to ‘sacrifice’ this antique counterfeiting gang and clear his name.
"I think it's feasible." Li Zeguang pondered for a while and then said.
Zhao Gang also nodded: "In this way, whoever comes to Xiao Lin can directly identify the target person."
A smile appeared on Lin Chuan's face.
…
The night is getting darker.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the bright moonlight fell, reflecting in a manor on the outskirts of the magical city. It was full of greenery, lush trees, and quiet with a hint of elegance.
A man in a Tang suit, about the same age as Lao Zhang, walked hurriedly through the bluestone paved path, walked into the 'Gu Shiyue' private museum, and arrived at the reception room on the third floor with familiarity.
This person is Gao Qinglin, the chief expert of the Magic City Museum.
"Mr. Hu."
Gao Qinglin entered the reception room and sat on the tea table.
Opposite him was the owner of this private museum, Hu Shu.
"Drink tea first."
Hu Shu poured a cup of Dahongpao and placed it in front of Gao Qinglin.
"Mr. Hu, I won't drink the tea now. How can you help that boy?" Gao Qinglin asked with some resentment on his face.
Hu Shu raised his head, and there was a hint of sharpness between his elegant brows and eyes: "Do you have any objections?"
Gao Qinglin and Hu Shu looked at each other, and their aura immediately weakened: "Mr. Hu, you know that I have a conflict with that guy. This time he fell into trouble. You recommended him to restore cultural relics and planned to help him compensate. I'm a little bit I can’t figure it out.”
"Are you still brooding over such trivial matters?"
Hu Shu smiled and asked.
"But he insulted me in public..." Gao Qinglin said in a deep voice with a slightly ugly face.
As the museum's chief expert, he has absolute authority in the antiques circle, and Lin Chuan exposed the 'Taotie Pattern Yao' that he believed to be genuine in front of everyone as a fake.
This is undoubtedly a 'blasphemy' to his authority.
"I helped you to the position of chief expert, not for you to question me." Hu Shu took a sip of tea and said calmly.
Gao Qinglin's expression condensed and he immediately fell silent.
"Drink tea." Hu Shu nodded on the tea table.
Gao Qinglin took a deep breath, picked up the tea cup, and drank it all in one gulp.
Hu Shu gave Gao Qinglin another drink and said calmly: "I have my own plan."
"Mr. Hu, not to mention the small friction between me and him, let's talk about his restoration of cultural relics. His antique counterfeiting skills are top-notch. If he sees the clues..." Gao Qinglin paused. , did not continue.
"Can you see any clues?"
Hu Shu didn't have any taboos and asked with a smile.
"One of his readers forged a bronze ware based on the method in his book. Several colleagues including me were eye-catched. He had a terrifying insight into antique forgery." Although Gao Qinglin was not convinced, he still I couldn't help but praise Lin Chuan.
"I know, I am slowly reading his book."
A faint smile appeared on Hu Shu's face, and he suddenly sighed, "The Lin in this boy's painting reminds me of the past."
Gao Qinglin looked startled.
Seeing the unabashed admiration in Hu Shu's eyes, he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Hu, are you trying to recruit Lin Chuan?"
A flash of light flashed in Hu Shu's eyes, he smiled and said, "Otherwise, why do you think he was the 'person who accidentally damaged the jade bottle'?"
