Wen Qianqian watched Sun Xin's face turn red and white, and saw that he was about to collapse and lose his mind. She deliberately added, "Don't worry, we're just going in to ask a few simple questions. If your Mr. Xie really faints," she said, pointing at Zhao Shan, "I'll have our people perform artificial respiration on him right there."
Zhao Shan: ? ?
Don’t let this happen to your friends!
Wen Qianqian glanced at him, and he couldn't help but sigh and said stubbornly, "That's right, let's do it. It's just artificial respiration! If he really faints, I'll give him this right away!"
"You guys!" Sun Xin was so angry that he was fuming. Normally, people would immediately become respectful when hearing Xie Yunjin's name. He had never seen anyone make fun of Mr. Xie like this. He was shocked and angry. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was a policeman, he, a karate master, would have taken action directly and taught the other party a lesson.
He had just clenched his fingers when Zhao Shan noticed his intention. He twisted his lips and started to challenge him: "Ouch, your hands are so bruised, are you planning to hit us? Come on, try assaulting the police?"
"You!" The other party swung his fist in anger, and then stopped abruptly when it was 30 centimeters away from Zhao Shan's face.
Wen Qianqian raised the corner of her mouth and looked at Sun Xin: "You don't dare to do it, so call Xie Yunjin out and we will talk to him directly."
"Bah! You little minions are not worthy of meeting Mr. Xie." Sun Xin gritted his teeth, no longer pretending, his whole body was full of hostility.
Wen Qianqian didn't even bother to look at him: "Whether I'm worthy or not is up to the law. The fact that I'm standing here today shows that the national law supports me. You say I'm unworthy, are you trying to challenge the national law?"
"Ahhhhh!" The other party was so angry that he was about to explode, but he couldn't make a move. Just as the stalemate was about to begin, the door to the mansion suddenly opened with a creaky sound. Then Xie Yunjin, dressed in a Tang suit, suddenly walked out and glanced coldly at the door outside the mansion: "Since you want to see me, then come in."
When Sun Xin heard Xie Yunjin's voice, the hostility in his body immediately dissipated like a deflated balloon. He lowered his head and silently opened the door.
Wen Qianqian walked from outside to inside and found that the decoration of the Xie family mansion was different from other villas. The whole style was designed according to the style of Suzhou gardens. The overall style was ancient and antique. As soon as you entered the gate, you can see various plants and rockery. Behind the mansion, you can vaguely see a small waterfall and a pavilion.
If I didn't know that this was a modern house, I would have thought it was the mansion of a wealthy man in the ancient Jiangnan area.
Wen Qianqian, accompanied by medical expert Zhao Shan, followed Xie Yunjin into the mansion. The further they walked, the more impressed they were by its ingenious design. Every step was a breathtaking sight. Even at the entrance, they could already glimpse the various valuable calligraphy and paintings in the living room. No wonder there were rumors that the best antiques in Beijing were all in the Xie family mansion.
Wen Qianqian looked around curiously, then asked Xie Yunjin with a half-smile, "Mr. Xie has quite a few collections at home. The landscape painting in the entrance alone, I think, must be worth 70 or 80 million, right?"
Xie Yunjin paused, pondered for a moment, and said calmly, "As everyone knows, Xie's family is in the antique jewelry business, so there are some things in the house that ordinary people don't have. But because they were accumulated by our ancestors, these things are legal and legitimate. Officer Wen can check them everywhere."
Wen Qianqian smiled faintly and didn't respond to him. Since he dared to say so, it at least meant that there was no problem with these things on the surface. As for whether their ancestors had a legitimate origin, that was unknown.
As he was speaking, a long-haired cat suddenly jumped out from the side. Seeing so many people appear, it was startled and ran around the living room like crazy, knocking over a vase on the shelf.
She took a quick glance and felt that the vase was extremely delicately made. Judging from the patterns and craftsmanship, it was probably more than 1,000 years old. When the cat touched the vase, it was about to smash to the ground.
A woman dressed as a servant next to her was quick and quick. She bent down and caught the vase steadily.
Wen Qianqian took a look at the woman, then smiled and said, "Mr. Xie really has a lot of hidden talents here. Just a random cleaning lady has such amazing skills."
Xie Yunjin said calmly, "Officer Wen, you're joking. I have a lot of stuff at home and I'm worried about thieves, so when I hired servants, I added a condition: they'd better know some martial arts skills. That's why they're a little better than ordinary people."
Is it just a little stronger? Wen Qianqian smiled and said nothing, thinking silently in her heart that a secretary Qu Fei might be the tomb robber who hurt Pei You, an assistant and a servant looked at their skills and had at least ten years of martial arts experience. Anyone around him was extraordinary, and you were still pretending?
Xie Yunjin didn't say anything else. He just led them to the living room. After the servants served tea, he looked at Wen Qianqian and said, "I haven't been feeling well lately. Officer Wen, if you have any questions, just ask directly."
Wen Qianqian didn't bother to waste time and got straight to the point: "A few days ago, the police arrested a group of criminals at the dock who were attempting to smuggle domestic antiques and cultural relics abroad for resale."
"Among them is Qin Shen, the current chief executive of the Treasure Appraisal Company."
After she finished speaking, she looked Xie Yunjin in the eye and said, "According to Qin Shen, the person who asked him to take over the treasure appraisal shop and smuggle the antiques and cultural relics purchased at low prices out of the country was your current secretary Qu Fei."
"He was the one who robbed the ancient tombs on the outskirts of the city and attacked the police with a gun."
She stared at him, creating a sense of pressure: "What do you think about this?"
Xie Yunjin paused for a moment, as if he was prepared. Not only was he not confused by the question, but he also calmly drank a sip of tea.
He looked at Wen Qianqian and said, "Officer Wen, if I heard correctly, you just said that the person who ordered Qin Shen to do these things was my secretary Qu Fei? He was also the one who robbed the tomb and attacked the police officers?"
Wen Qianqian remained silent, thought for a moment, and didn't respond directly: "So, what does Mr. Xie think about this?"
Xie Yunjin suddenly laughed: "Officer Wen, you're joking. What can I say? Qin Shen confessed to Qu Fei. Go find whoever did it. Why ask me?"
The corner of his mouth raised strangely: "I am a respectful and law-abiding overseas Chinese. If my secretary does something illegal, you can just take him away. I will not stop you."
Wen Qianqian and Zhao Shan were stunned. They didn't expect that he would deny everything so completely.
Zhao Shan gritted his teeth and said, "Xie Yunjin, how capable is your secretary? How could he control the treasure appraisal company and order Qin Shen around on his own, without your instructions?"
Xie Yunjin touched the teacup calmly: "You can only know a person's face but not his heart. Maybe he used my name to deceive Qin Shen, and Qin Shen was stupid enough to believe it."
"You!" Zhao Shan didn't expect that the situation would immediately reverse after he came in. With just a few words, Xie Yunjin completely cut off all ties with him. Now they were the ones who were angry.
Xie Yunjin seemed to be still not satisfied and continued to pick up the teacup: "Qu Fei actually broke the law, you just need to arrest him."
He calmly disdained the cup lid and deliberately said, "If you don't catch it now, could it be that you can't catch it?"
"You..." Zhao Shan was so angry that he wanted to curse, but was stopped by Wen Qianqian.
She looked at Xie Yunjin and said, "Mr. Xie, Qu Fei is missing. He disappeared after Qin Shen was arrested. He was your secretary. He's been missing for a few days. You wouldn't be unaware of this, right?"
Xie Yunjin smiled softly, as if he had expected this. "I manage such a large enterprise as the Xie Group. I don't really care that a small secretary has disappeared."
After saying that, he tilted his head and deliberately asked Sun Xin behind him: "Has Qu Fei not come to the company for a few days?"
Sun Xin immediately replied respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Xie, a few days ago."
Xie Yunjin raised the corner of his mouth calmly and looked at Wen Qianqian: "The person is missing, didn't you call the police? Didn't you report it to Officer Wen?"
Sun Xin understood and immediately walked over to Wen Qianqian: "Ah, I'm sorry, Officer Wen, I was negligent in my work and didn't call the police when someone went missing."
After saying that, he glanced at Wen Qianqian and said in a deliberately mean way, "Sir, I just forgot to call the police. Isn't that illegal?"
Looking at his expression, Zhao Shan became furious. What was this? It was obvious that they knew everything, yet they were deliberately doing it for us to see.
Wen Qianqian couldn't help but frown, guessing that Xie Yunjin would not admit it so readily, but she didn't expect him to push everything onto a disappeared person and get rid of it completely.
As for Qu Fei, he was a very suspicious person. He was brought here directly from abroad by Xie Yunjin. The police had very few clues. On the night when Qin Shen was arrested, Director You informed the Municipal Bureau and asked the Public Security Bureaus in the capital and several nearby provinces to report immediately if they saw Qu Fei. However, there was no news for several days. The only thing that could be confirmed was that he was still in the country. Due to the timely restriction of his situation, he was unable to escape in the first place.
Wen Qianqian's brain was working rapidly as she carefully recalled the details of the incident.
Suddenly, her eyes caught sight of the antique porcelain vase that the cat had almost broken, and an idea suddenly flashed through her mind.
Before she could ask, Xie Yunjin was already impatient: "Since everything is because of Qu Fei, let's wait until you find him and then we can talk."
He looked at his watch, his lips curled up slightly: "It's getting late. I'm not feeling well and need to take medicine soon. Let's stop here for today."
After saying that, he glanced at Sun Xin calmly and said, "Show him off."
Sun Xin understood and immediately stood up, walked to Wen Qianqian, and made a "please" gesture: "Officer Wen, please go back."
Zhao Shan glared at him unhappily, feeling very unwilling.
"Wait a minute!" Wen Qianqian suddenly stood up and walked over to the porcelain vase on the cabinet, pointing at it. "Mr. Xie, if I remember correctly, the pattern on it is unique to the burial objects in the suburban princess tomb. There are artifacts with similar patterns in the suburban underground warehouse managed by Qin Shen."
She stared at Xie Yunjin. "Mr. Xie keeps saying he knows nothing about Qu Fei's actions, and that everything in the mansion is legitimate. So, I'd like to ask, how did the porcelain vase from the princess's tomb, which hasn't even been officially excavated in this country, end up here with you?"
Xie Yunjin turned around and was stunned when he saw the porcelain vase. Before Wen Qianqian came in, he had asked someone to collect all the documents on the table and the suspicious bits and pieces in the living room. However, this porcelain vase was placed in a relatively remote place, and there were too many things in the house, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Originally, this porcelain vase would not have attracted Wen Qianqian's attention, but a cat happened to run around and caused the porcelain vase to fall, giving her the opportunity to take a few more glances.
Xie Yunjin was stunned for a moment, then began to argue: "This is just an ordinary antique porcelain vase. I'm in the antique business, so it's normal to have a few cultural relics at home..."
Wen Qianqian immediately interrupted: "It's normal to have cultural relics, but it's not normal to have things that have never been circulated and sold in the world!"
She looked at Xie Yunjin and asked, "If Mr. Xie insists that this is an ordinary antique vase, would you dare to bring it back to the bureau for me to have it identified and compared with the other items in the princess's tomb?"
Xie Yunjin took a deep breath, and this time he finally raised his eyes and looked at her seriously.
It seemed that from this moment on, he really took her into his eyes.
After reading it, he took a deep breath again, and then suddenly covered his head: "Ugh, my head, my head hurts!"
Sun Xin quickly stepped forward to support him: "Mr. Xie! Mr. Xie! Are you okay?"
Wen Qianqian paused. She didn't expect that at the critical moment Xie Yunjin would want to pretend to be sick again.
So she took two steps forward and pretended to be concerned: "Mr. Xie, are you okay?"
Xie Yunjin was very good at pretending to be sick. He suddenly turned pale and covered his head with his hands in pain: "It hurts, it hurts so much! It's about to explode!" He ignored her completely.
Wen Qianqian curled her lips coldly, then turned to the neurologist behind her and said, "Excuse me, please help me take a look."
The expert nodded and was about to go forward to examine him when Sun Xin quickly stopped him: "Mr. Xie is sick. We have a special family doctor. Please leave quickly! Don't delay Mr. Xie's treatment!"
Wen Qianqian stepped forward to push his hand away: "If you are sick, you need to see a doctor. I brought an expert with me, so you shouldn't stop me."
Sun Xin was horrified. Seeing Wen Qianqian blocking his hand and the doctor about to reach Xie Yunjin, he immediately gritted his teeth and swung his hand hard, trying to throw them away.
Unexpectedly, she was extremely strong. She pinned him down and he was completely unable to move.
At this moment, the servants who had been quietly retreating to the side and had little presence suddenly rushed forward, separating the expert and Xie Yunjin, and standing in front of Wen Qianqian, preventing her from even contacting Sun Xin.
Zhao Shan was shocked when he saw this: "What's going on?"
While supporting Xie Yunjin, Sun Xin said to the servant, "Quick, call the doctor and tell him that Mr. Xie's old illness has recurred. Ask him to come and see him right away!"
After saying that, he deliberately pretended to be pitiful and looked at Wen Qianqian: "Officer Wen, Mr. Xie's illness has always been treated by his family doctor. It's an old illness and other doctors can't treat it."
He loudly complained: "Police officers should abide by the Basic Law when handling cases, right? I've never heard of anyone being questioned by you when they're sick!"
"Officer Wen, why don't you all go back today? Mr. Xie is not feeling well, so please don't delay his treatment."
After saying that, he threw out his trump card: "Mr. Xie is a foreigner. You should know that if anything happens to him, you won't be able to explain it, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the doctors who were brought over became a little hesitant. They were willing to come and help, but that didn't mean they were willing to cause trouble. It was obvious that Xie Yunjin didn't want them to treat him. If they forced their way in at this time and something happened, they would not be able to escape responsibility.
The expert looked at Xie Yunjin, then at the people surrounding him, then heaved a long sigh and looked at Wen Qianqian: "Officer Wen, look at this..."
Wen Qianqian thought about it. With the current evidence, everything was stuck with Qu Fei. As for the matter of the porcelain bottle, as long as Xie Yunjin insisted that he didn't know where it came from, it would be difficult to continue the interrogation.
Instead of doing that, she might as well look for more conclusive evidence. She knew Xie Yunjin was dishonest before she came here, and she had already made up her mind that she wouldn't succeed on the first try. Most importantly, she didn't want to embarrass these expert doctors.
So, she thought about it and began to speak: "Okay, then let Mr. Xie recuperate, and we will come back to disturb him in a few days.
After saying this, he carefully examined the layout and furnishings of the room before leaving with his men.
On the way back, Zhao Shan couldn't help but complain, "That old fox Xie Yunjin is such a jerk. He started feigning illness at the critical moment! It's a shame for him to be a boss. I think he should enter the entertainment industry. His acting skills will kill a lot of traffic in seconds."
Wen Qianqian spread her hands. "We can't help it. He's a 'national hero' who just donated a national treasure, and he's a foreigner. If we really cause any trouble, those reporters who love to stir up trouble will blow up our police station."
Zhao Shan gritted his teeth in anger. "Those media outlets are truly toxic. They portray him as a democracy hero, a living god, just because he donated over a billion. Why don't they look at the crimes he's committed? Just the things he's done alone have cost him at least tens of billions of dollars, causing such a huge loss to the country. How can he just donate a painting and whitewash it?"
"Besides, he donated the paintings to hype up his treasure appraisal business. The wool comes from the sheep. The money he donated the paintings was earned back from the antique trade eight hundred years ago. Aren't those innocent people the ones who are hurt?"
Wen Qianqian propped up her head with her hands and looked out the window: "Who said it wasn't?"
While driving, Zhao Shan asked curiously, "So what are you going to do next?"
Wen Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "The most important thing next is to find evidence. I plan to sort through the transcripts and the things found in the underground warehouse to see if I can find any clues."
As the two were talking, suddenly several APP pop-up windows popped up on their phones, and the sound of "ding ding ding" filled the entire car.
And it wasn't just her. The phones of the two young policemen in the back row also had pop-up windows, and there was another "ding ding ding" sound.
Zhao Shan was immediately curious. He couldn't check his phone while driving, so he felt like there was some big news. He was so anxious that he scratched his head and said, "Oh my god, what big news happened again? Why are your phones ringing?"
"Quick, quick, someone check the news and tell me what's going on? Did another celebrity get caught smoking drugs, soliciting prostitutes, facilitating genitals, or having group sex?"
The young policeman immediately went to look and after reading it, he shook his head and said, "Neither of them."
Zhao Shan instantly became even more curious: "Then what other gossip news would be broadcast all over the Internet? If it's not entertainment news, could it be social news? Murder, robbery?"
The young policeman shook his head: "Not really."
Zhao Shan was anxious: "What on earth is that? Tell me quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced to the side and found that Wen Qianqian was reading the news very seriously, even reading the netizens' comments. His curiosity immediately reached its peak.
Just as he was about to continue howling, Wen Qianqian took the initiative to say, "It's related to our case."
"Ah? What does this have to do with anything?" Zhao Shan gritted his teeth, "What is it? Tell me now!"
Wen Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "News came from the Thief Country. It said that the famous painting "Young General's Dismounting Horse" from the Martial God series appeared in the Thief Country. It is currently in the hands of a wealthy man. He held a press conference today and said that he would show the painting to the world in a few days."
"Wait, wait, slow down," Zhao Shan suddenly felt his brain wasn't working. "Isn't this "Major General Dismounting His Horse" the painting that Xie Yunjin bought at an auction and donated to our museum? How did it suddenly appear in the thief country? Could it be that the thief country themselves said it?"
Wen Qianqian shook her head. "The situation is not very clear at the moment, but the tycoon who stole the painting insisted that it was authentic and had been inspected, which is why he held a press conference and displayed it online and around the world."
Zhao Shan burst into laughter after hearing this. "It's probably just another attempt to steal something from the Chinese people. That's how they are. They clearly don't have anything, but when they see someone else has something, they claim it as theirs. They're always trying to steal everything."
"Now, I guess they heard about this picture some time ago, and more than half a month later, maybe some thief with a sharp mind suddenly had an idea in the middle of the night and thought, hey, this thing can be stolen."
The author has something to say:
"Jianqiu, my head hurts!"
