Chapter 184 Bada Shanren



Director Bai had initially wavered on the direction of the investigation he had insisted on, but he did not immediately revise it because it was the direction proposed by Guan Feng and given Guan Feng's illustrious past.

However, after watching the interrogation video, he reiterated his previous investigation direction based on Guan Feng's instructions.

He said, "It seems that Sun Yue and Secretary Jin are indeed suspects, at least in terms of the forgery of the will. Has Zhao Qiang heard anything about this?"

Zheng Yuandong said, "Zhao Qiang just sent a message half an hour ago, saying that he is investigating and interviewing relevant personnel."

Director Bai nodded, glanced at his watch, and reminded them, "Tell the guys down here to eat first. Old Zheng, have someone buy food, raise the standard of the meals, and cover the extra cost from the bureau's budget."

Zheng Yuandong laughed and said, "That's great! Working on cases with Director Bai has really improved the quality of our meals."

Director Bai said, “Stop joking! How high-class can a 20-yuan fast food meal be? If we really solve this case, I’ll treat everyone to a seafood restaurant for a big meal. What about Xiang Dong? Doesn’t that kid love the oysters the most? Tell him to investigate the case well, and he’ll get his share of oysters.”

Guan Feng said, "Xiang Dong might not eat lunch if he hears that."

Zheng Yuandong laughed and ran off to buy food with a police officer.

At this moment.

Chen Yao suddenly called.

He whispered into the phone, "Captain, we've found a clue!"

Guan Feng asked, "What do you mean?"

Chen Yao said, "I contacted some acquaintances at the Hua'an Antique Market, and they said that someone did forge a will in the past few days, but they don't know if the content is what you said?"

Guan Feng frowned slightly, sensing that something was amiss.

Normally, how can someone admit something just because of an investigation?

That's so unprofessional.

Guan Feng asked, "Is the situation confirmed?"

Chen Yao said, "It's confirmed! It's my childhood friend. He does this kind of thing in the antique market. When I asked him, he didn't think I was a police informant. He just told me directly and said that this kind of business is rare, and such big shots are even rarer. He just posted a suicide note and made 38,000 yuan. He even told me to come see him when I had time, and he would treat me to a meal at Hua'an Restaurant!"

Guan Feng asked, "Your childhood friend? Won't that make them suspicious of you?"

Chen Yao shook his head and said, "Captain, what are you saying? I'm an informant now! I'm assisting you in solving the case. If the other party is really a bad guy, then I'm just helping them see the error of their ways!"

Guan Feng nodded and said, "Alright, Chen Yao, you've improved your awareness in just a few days. Here's what we'll do: if we really solve this case, you'll get the credit. You'll not only receive honors, but you'll also get a bonus."

Chen Yao shook his head and said seriously, "Captain, after being inspired and influenced by you during this period, I feel that money is no longer important. What is important is my identification with this mission, which is something that no other job can provide."

Guan Feng said, "Then I'll apply for an honorary certificate for you."

Chen Yao said, "Thank you, Captain! I will definitely live up to the organization's expectations!"

Guan Feng asked, "Do you have the specific identity and address of the person you just mentioned?"

Chen Yao said, "Yes, his shop is in the Confucius Temple Market, right..." He simply gave out a string of addresses.

Guan Feng took notes, returned to the conference room, and said to Director Bai, "Director Bai, we just got a lead, so we can't eat for now. I have to go to the city and deal with it on the spot. I'm letting you know in advance."

Director Bai waved his hand and said, "Food is essential for life. It's already past 12 o'clock. How can we not eat? Let's eat before investigating the case."

Guan Feng said, "The clues are quite important. We've found the person who forged the certificate, but I'm afraid things might get complicated if we delay."

Upon hearing this, Director Bai thought for a moment and said, "Then let's take the boxed lunch with us and eat it on the way."

Guan Feng nodded: "Thank you for your concern, Director Bai!"

He then summoned Li Xiangdong and Liu Shengguo, preparing to take them to arrest people, leaving only Huang Lili to assist Wang Xun in handling the work here.

A moment later.

Zheng Yuandong returned with a police officer from the local police station carrying lunch boxes.

Guan Feng briefly explained the situation and prepared to leave.

Zheng Yuandong asked, "Arrest someone? Do you three have enough men?"

Guan Feng said, "Captain Zheng, it would be great if you came along! With four of us, he'd be trapped."

Without saying a word, Zheng Yuandong picked up several boxes of food and said, "Let's go! I'll go with you. With Director Bai here, nothing will go wrong."

Guan Feng nodded.

We got into a car with a few people and headed straight for the antique market in Hua'an city.

......

On the road.

Guan Feng briefly described the methods used by this antique dealer.

Zheng Yuandong exclaimed in surprise, "Your informant is quite capable. Zhao Qiang has been searching for a long time but hasn't found this information yet."

Guan Feng said, "It was a coincidence! My informant happens to know this person. After asking around, he boasted that he had pulled off a big heist. The other party told my informant that he pasted two suicide notes and received 38,000 yuan. But we'll have to see this person to confirm whether that's true."

Zheng Yuandong said, "Then we must be careful later. There are a lot of people at the Confucian Temple. If someone runs away, it will be hard to find them."

Guan Feng nodded.

Apart from Liu Shengguo, who was driving, the others ate their meal in the car.

A regular Shaxian ham wrap costs 16.8 yuan!

However, this time, following Director Bai's instructions, an extra chicken leg was added.

Guan Feng watched Li Xiangdong finish the job in a flash and specifically instructed, "Sheng Guo, turn on your hazard lights, pull over to the side of the road, Xiang Dong! Go and switch places with Sheng Guo, let him have a meal. We're going to arrest people later, how can he manage without strength?"

Li Xiangdong sat in the driver's seat, and Liu Shengguo took over the meal.

Fifteen minutes later.

The vehicle arrived at the Confucius Temple Antique Market.

Following Chen Yao's instructions, the group arrived at the entrance of a certain shop.

Guan Feng glanced at the antique-style signboard and clicked his tongue, saying, "This storefront is decorated quite elegantly. The rent for shops here is also expensive. It seems that Li Kun has made a lot of money."

Li Xiangdong said, "Pasting a suicide note costs 38,000 yuan, how can we not make money?"

Guan Feng glanced at the back street of the shop and instructed, "Sheng Guo, you go and block the back door, facing east. You keep an eye on the windows and make sure the boss doesn't jump out and escape. Captain Zheng, let's go in and get him."

Zheng Yuandong said, "Okay! Let's go in."

The two of them pretended to be customers and entered the shop.

A middle-aged man in his early thirties immediately greeted them with a smile, saying ingratiatingly, "Gentlemen, you two are clearly important people. What brings you here to buy calligraphy and paintings? What a coincidence! My shop has all kinds of calligraphy and paintings, all of them genuine. What would you like to see? Ancient originals or works by modern artists?"

Guan Feng asked, "Do you have all the original ancient works?"

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Look at what you're saying. Others may not have it, but how could I not? My shop is one of the best in the entire Hua'an calligraphy and painting industry. Look! This painting is an authentic work by Bada Shanren, the treasure of our shop. I wouldn't normally take it out for just anyone. But since you two are of such high status, I'm showing it to you!"

As he spoke, he solemnly pulled out a calligraphy and painting from the box behind him.

I even blew on it a little.
