"Detective Tang Ze, I heard that you think Mirror Lake is fake. Is that true?"

"In order to satisfy your opinion, Director Qiaoshan specially invited responsible and resolute experts from the Bear Country to verify the authenticity!

Early this morning, experts conducted an appraisal and the results showed that "Mirror Lake" is authentic. What do you think about this?"

"Which do you trust more, your conclusion or the expert's?!"

"It's said that your sense of smell is a powerful tool for solving crimes, but this time the answer you obtained was denied by the experts. Do you think the experts were wrong?"

Dense flashes of light kept shining, and the camera lenses kept facing Tang Ze, obviously it was a live broadcast.

Of course, no matter how many people surrounded him, this group of reporters did not dare to block Tang Ze's way and could only follow his footsteps and move forward.

Faced with the surging crowd, Tang Ze did not take any extra action. He just protected Ayako and walked into the art museum.

The commotion here soon attracted the attention of the museum security personnel, and the security personnel quickly escorted Tang Ze and the other person into the museum.

"I'm so sorry, Detective Tang Ze."

As soon as we entered the art museum, Director Qiaoshan came over quickly and apologized, "It was my mistake. I should have told the staff not to spread the news.

I didn't expect this matter involving you would cause such a commotion. I don't know who told these reporters the news, but they have been waiting for the expert's appraisal results since early morning..."

"It's okay. Maybe it's because my first 'failure' made them feel a little excited."

Looking at Director Qiaoshan in front of him, Tang Ze, who had just experienced the "siege" of reporters, did not feel overwhelmed at all. Instead, he felt calm inside and even wanted to laugh.

Although this guy spoke politely, Tang Ze, through his keen insight and micro-expressions, had already seen the smile that was forced by the muscles at the corners of his mouth.

I have to say that the other party played this move very beautifully. There is no doubt that he must have asked someone to leak the information deliberately.

Originally, everyone was keeping a low profile on this matter, but now the news was leaked directly to the media, causing Tang Ze to fall directly into the whirlpool of public opinion.

Maybe they wanted to use this to make Tang Ze too busy and distracted from the case. After all, this public opinion was quite unfavorable to Tang Ze.

And we also have to take into account the reaction of the Metropolitan Police Department. After all, Tang Ze now represents the face of the Metropolitan Police Department. If this situation occurs, it is very likely that the Metropolitan Police Department will intervene in Tang Ze's actions and "stop the loss" in time.

After that, we may need to ask the director of Qiaoshan Museum to cooperate with public relations to "resolve the misunderstanding."

Generally speaking, this might actually make them successful. After all, the usual way for the bureaucrats in the Metropolitan Police Department, including the higher-level Criminal Investigation Department, to resolve issues is basically this kind of "dirty political exchange."

Even in their view, such a small person has no room for bargaining and can only cooperate with them to calm the situation.

Why should you let your own "signature brand" take risks for something that can be done with just a few words? There is really no need for that.

And in this way, their plan will succeed.

This can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Not only can it put Tang Ze in an unfavorable situation and make the Metropolitan Police Department interfere with Tang Ze's actions, but it can also use the expert's appraisal results to prove the authenticity of "Mirror Lake".

This made Tang Ze have to praise it as a good plan.

At this time, Tang Ze's cell phone rang as if to verify the ugly faces of those politicians.

The "Sihuayuan" on the caller ID let Tang Ze know what would happen next.

After saying sorry, Tang Ze walked straight to the corner and answered the phone.

"I knew this day would come sooner or later. After all, you are a famous figure."

After the call was connected, Sihuayuan's helpless but unsurprised voice came: "I'm calling you now, you should know what I mean, right?"

"certainly."

Tang Ze knew without a second thought that those guys in the upper echelons must have become pawns to put pressure on him in pursuit of "interests and stability," just as Director Qiaoshan had planned.

And because Sihuayuan has always been responsible for his image promotion and external speeches, naturally many people would come to her to pass on messages.

"Well, you don't have to worry too much." Shikain said with a reassuring smile: "Although many people are putting pressure on you, Commander Saitama still told you to do what you want."

"Thank Commander Saitama for me." Tang Ze smiled and said, "Don't worry, I almost understand the whole picture of the case. I'm just waiting to close the net."

"I feel relieved when you say that." Sihuayuan smiled brightly and said, "Then I'll wait for your good news."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Ze walked towards Ayako. She was talking to her uncle at the moment, with an unstoppable look of worry on her face.

Seeing Tang Ze hanging up the phone and walking over, Director Qiaoshan pretended to be enthusiastic and said, "This must be a misunderstanding. It must have been placed together with those modern masters' works before, which caused the smell to be contaminated. Detective Tang Ze, you made a mistake in judgment."

Director Qiaoshan acted enthusiastically and said, "I'll go out and explain it to you right away!"

"Then I'll trouble you."

Tang Ze nodded and did not reject Director Qiaoshan's kindness. Qiaoshan Koji, who received the approval, looked happy when he heard it, but he still suppressed the expression on his face, turned around and trotted out.

"Xian Yi..."

Ayako was filled with worry when she saw this scene. Jiroyoshi beside her also had an expression of wanting to say something but hesitant. He wanted to say something but in the end he could only sigh.

"don’t worry."

Tang Ze looked at the two people with worried expressions and chuckled, "Everything is as I expected."

"Could it be that you already know the truth?" Suzuki Jirokichi's expression brightened, but then he became a little confused: "But if that's the case, why don't you stand up?"

"Of course, because that would alert the enemy."

Tang Ze looked at Director Qiaoshan walking away and smiled meaningfully: "The criminal thought I was helpless, but in fact I was just taking advantage of his own tricks.

Of course, Uncle Jiroyoshi's help is indispensable for me to complete the layout."

"Leave it to me." Upon hearing this, Suzuki Jirokichi smiled heartily and patted his chest to indicate that everything was left to him.

"It's not that difficult."

Tang Ze gestured for Suzuki Jirokichi to come closer, and then whispered something in his ear. Suzuki Jirokichi nodded and said, "No problem, I will definitely do this little thing!"

"That's no problem, let's go home." Tang Ze put his arm around Ayako's waist and pulled her into his arms: "We've only eaten half of breakfast, how about getting some dessert?"

"Okay, whatever you say." Ayako smiled softly, and the worry on her face had disappeared.

As for the previous worries? They have long since dissipated.

If you ask why, it’s because he said don’t worry.
