Chapter 287 The Ruthless Man Who Spent a Night with a Corpse



Chen Quan answered the call.

His expression changed after only a few words.

He thanked the other party repeatedly and then hung up the phone.

He took a deep breath and looked at Guan Feng with some excitement, saying, "Little Guan, you really guessed right! Seventeen years ago, when Huang Lao was exchanging creative experiences with Fan Lao, he created this painting. However, later his family suffered misfortune, and the next generation was unfilial, which caused this painting to be lost."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was happening.

Most people know more or less about the changes in Mr. Huang's family.

Zhao Dong spoke first, laughing, "Well done, Xiao Guan. Your appraisal skills are even better than those calligraphy and painting experts!"

Director Yang exclaimed, "The younger generation is truly formidable! Seventeen years? That's exactly the 15-20 years that Xiao Guan mentioned!"

Chen Qingxin said, "Yes! The calligraphy and painting I had back then were so badly appraised by the most famous calligraphy and painting appraisal master in Hua'an. Luckily, Brother Guan helped to take a look, otherwise I would have lost over 100 million yuan."

Director Yang asked in surprise, "What is it?"

Chen Qingxin then summarized the key points.

As Director Yang listened, his gaze toward Guan Feng grew even more fervent.

Nothing more!

He had never experienced this before.

Although I had heard rumors, they were not as concrete and direct as what the person involved said.

With such a masterpiece preceding it and the atmosphere perfectly set, where a single painting or calligraphy could earn tens of millions, then this value of over 100 million yuan wouldn't be a vague figure in Director Yang's ears, but something achievable.

Is it possible to achieve this?

The mere possibility of this makes ordinary people feel it's worth it.

Nothing more!

Director Yang is poor too.

A smooth career path also means maintaining a clean and honest personal life.

But now that he has such a legitimate income... wouldn't he want to increase his wealth?

He looked at Guan Feng and said, "I didn't expect little Guan to be such a lucky charm."

Chen Quan laughed and said, "That's right! Old Yang, it's only because he's one of your men that I'd snatch him away! He could even be the general manager of my company!"

This double entendre caused Chen Qingxin's expression to change slightly.

Guan Feng also found it somewhat difficult to respond.

Zhao Dong smiled and defused the situation, saying, "Xiao Guan, according to your estimate, how much is this painting worth?"

Guan Feng thought for a moment and said confidently, "The minimum estimate is no less than ten million. After all, these are paintings that two masters have studied and verified, combining the strengths of Huang and Fan. Even if they are ordinary, they are not ordinary works! But how should I put it? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and it takes people who know how to appreciate them!"

“Uncle Chen, I suggest that if you really want to sell it, you could invite the descendants of the Huang family to come and take a look. This would not only vindicate the painting but also attract some onlookers, which would allow you to sell it for a better price.”

Chen Quan laughed and said, "Since it's a genuine painting, I won't sell it."

Guan Feng laughed and said, "That works too! These unique pieces are getting more and more expensive."

Chen Quan rubbed his forehead and laughed, "Looks like I'll have to bring Xiao Guan with me next time I buy calligraphy and paintings!"

Director Yang said, "Yes, I also got lucky today. I'll have to bring Xiao Guan along next time."

The group chatted about this topic for a while longer.

......

I slept soundly through the night.

Guan Feng woke up from his sleep.

After a quick wash, I got up, watched some TV, and went downstairs for a run. That's how my day went.

on Monday.

Guan Feng arrived at the office.

Not long after he sat down, Zheng Yuandong walked in carrying a thermos.

He rushed to Guan Feng and said, "I'm afraid there won't be time for training today!"

Guan Feng asked, "A case has arrived?"

Zheng Yuandong nodded and said, "A murder case!"

Guan Feng frowned.

Murder?

Am I channeling Conan?

I've never encountered so many murder cases, not even in places like southern Yunnan!

How can I activate the system and then have major cases appear every day?

He asked, "What exactly happened?"

Zheng Yuandong shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet! The branch station below received a report that two fishermen found a body. Get ready, we're going out!"

Guan Feng immediately called for everyone to go to the scene.

......

Twenty minutes later.

Two police cars arrived at the waters of Luoxia Bay.

This is the most beautiful spot in Hongcheng to watch the sunset. Surrounded by water on three sides, it offers a wide view and excellent scenery. Due to the backflow of the water, there are many fish on the shore, making it one of the favorite fishing spots for anglers in Hongcheng.

When Guan Feng and his group arrived.

The scene has been cordoned off.

Guan Feng stepped forward, looked at the police officers on duty at the scene, and asked, "Who discovered the body?"

The officer pointed to two fishermen not far away and said, "That's them!"

Guan Feng, who possessed farsightedness, frowned as he looked at the two trembling figures and asked, "Why are you trembling like this?"

The officer said, "And you're telling me! These two came here last night to fish in the pond. They stayed up all night and were just about to take their catch home when they found a corpse floating under their butts. Judging from the distance, they had even washed their hands next to it. They were terrified and haven't recovered yet."

Guan Feng: "..."

Spending the night with a corpse?

This is an experience I can brag about for a lifetime.

The premise is that the two of them can get over this experience and avoid any irreversible psychological trauma.

He asked, "Can I ask you questions now?"

The officer said, "With our people with us, there shouldn't be any major problems!"

Guan Feng then said to Li Xiangdong and the others, "Let's go! Let's go take a look first. Wang Xun, go and ask the comrades at the branch office for the on-site investigation record."

Wang Xun said, "Okay."

The group arrived at the lakeside.

Guan Feng sized up the two fishermen, who were both in their forties. They seemed to still be immersed in the fear of discovering the corpse early in the morning, their whole bodies trembling slightly, and their lips were pale.

Guan Feng instructed, "Take them in the car before questioning them." He then turned to Li Xiangdong and said, "Xiangdong, start the SUV, turn on the air conditioning, and let them warm up before we talk."

Li Xiangdong said, "Okay!"
