The bracelet's imperial green quality would definitely leave an impression on anyone who had seen it.
Especially now that we are in the 1970s, there are few rich people around us, and even fewer people who can afford such precious jade bracelets.
Shao Jingque's first reaction was to wonder if she had seen Qu Jingyun wearing it before.
She carefully recalled the times when she met Qu Jingyun in the art troupe, and she seemed to have never seen her wearing a jade bracelet. Instead, she often saw various gold bracelets and gold bangles.
But she did have some impression of this imperial green...Where had she seen it?
For a moment, she really couldn't remember and could only shake her head:
"I don't have much impression, but this kind of imperial green bracelet is very expensive unless it's inherited from your ancestors. Few people can afford it. I suggest you ask Deputy Captain Qu."
Shao Jingque was not taking revenge for personal reasons. Qu Jingyun was indeed the rich lady she knew who loved wearing gold and silver the most. Even if the bracelet was not Qu Jingyun's, she might know who in their circle of rich ladies had such an imperial green jadeite bracelet.
Gao Huanyu heard this and smiled helplessly.
Before they came, they had already investigated the origin of the jade bracelet. The results of the investigation showed that no jade bracelet of this quality had been sold at Shanghai auction houses in the past five years, and other channels had also yielded nothing. The police stations in Ning City had not received any reports of lost jade bracelets. The origin of this jade bracelet became a mystery.
After Gao Huanyu's personal inference, considering the sudden change in Qi Mingyuan's expression when he saw him at the Qi family that day, he was more inclined to believe that this jade bracelet might be related to the Qi family.
Their main purpose of coming to the art troupe today was to find Qu Jingyun to find out the situation and find out if she had any relationship with the jade bracelet. However, Qu Jingyun flatly denied that she had ever had an imperial green jade bracelet, and insisted that she had never seen anyone else wearing this jade bracelet. Later, she complained that she had a headache and wanted to go to the hospital, and hurriedly drove them out.
Gao Huanyu was unwilling to give up easily. He suddenly remembered that a guest had mentioned during the visit that a singer from an art troupe had attended the wedding that day. So he thought of finding out from the staff of the art troupe whether anyone had seen Qu Jingyun wearing this bracelet.
Before Shao Jingque came out, he and Liu Jun were not idle either. They stood at the door of the art troupe and asked many employees, but no one had seen Qu Jingyun wearing this bracelet. Now they asked Shao Jingque out of reluctance to confirm it one last time.
When asked about this, even Gao Huanyu began to doubt whether there was something wrong with his approach to solving the case.
If Qu Jingyun really wore this bracelet, it is impossible that so many people in the art troupe have no impression of it. Could it be that this bracelet is really not hers?
The only family in Ning City that can afford the bracelet and is related to the person who took the photo is the Qi family. He couldn't give up on such an obvious clue without investigating it thoroughly.
But whether there is progress in solving the case has nothing to do with how hard they work, and today is destined to be another day of failure.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your cooperation. I won't bother you anymore."
Shao Jingque watched the two of them leave, then glanced back at the art troupe's office building, and began to wonder:
"There must be something wrong here. I have to tell Yingzi!"
Now she had no time to go to the hospital. Shao Jingque hailed a tricycle, asked Lao Liu to help, carried the big bag of luggage on it, and headed straight to Yongsi Photo Studio.
The art troupe got off work at five o'clock, and they were delayed at the door for about ten minutes. When Shao Jingque took a tricycle to the photo studio, it was only half past five. The store was still busy, so she put down her things and helped with the work first.
I was busy until half past six before I saw off the last customer in the store.
Rong Yongsi was extremely tired today. He was busy from morning to night without any rest.
During the one-hour lunch break at noon, he went to see the landlord and told him that he wanted to buy the three storefronts including the photo studio. The landlord thought he was talking in his sleep in broad daylight.
Last month, I was begging him to pay the rent later, and this month, he brazenly said he wanted to buy his three storefronts. What else could this be but wishful thinking?!
Rong Yongsi talked to the landlord for a long time, but the landlord didn't believe him. He even suspected that Rong Yongsi couldn't bear the pressure of business failure and had mental problems, which made Rong Yongsi very angry.
Finally, after Rong Yongsi's persistent pestering, the landlord finally quoted a price half-heartedly. The three storefronts, which added up to a total of only 100 square meters, were priced at a whopping 4,500 yuan!
On average, a storefront of more than 30 square meters costs 1,500 yuan. How can this be considered normal?!
Last year, someone asked for the price of a storefront next to a state-owned photo studio on the commercial street. The price was 7,000 yuan for an area of 120 square meters, but it was located in the center of the commercial street. The storefront was square and transparent, facing north and south with plenty of sunlight. It was obviously a popular shop.
The photo studio said it was on the commercial street, but it was actually at the corner at the end of the street. The shop on the left could barely be considered on the commercial street, but the shop on the right was completely in a back street.
And why did Rong Yongsi rent the middle storefront among the three storefronts?
This is because only the storefront in the middle is square in shape. Although the storefronts on the left and right sides are of similar size, they are all of different shapes. They become narrower as you go inward, and the nearly ten square meters are completely unusable and a pure waste of space.
So even though the rent for the storefronts on the left and right sides was half the price of the storefront in the middle, Rong Yongsi still gritted his teeth and rented the storefront in the middle.
Facts have proved that he made the right choice. To this day, the storefronts on the left and right sides of Yongsi Photo Studio have not been rented out. Business people are very smart. Those two storefronts have small usable areas and it is not cost-effective to rent them, so no one is willing to rent them.
After hearing the quote that Rong Yongsi got, everyone felt that this boss was simply too heartless.
Only Yue Feiying pretended to pack up to cover up her awkwardness.
If buying three storefronts for 4,500 yuan is considered dishonest, then what will happen if they find out that she extorted 3,000 yuan from Qi Shengzhi for two gift boxes?
Shao Jingque told Rong Yongsi not to worry and to make an appointment to talk to the boss again.
It would be best if they could stay in the commercial street, as they would have natural customer flow and exposure. It wouldn't be a big problem if they couldn't stay. As the saying goes, good wine needs no bush. As long as word of their photo album spreads, there will naturally be customers who come to visit after hearing the news.
After Rong Yongsi finished talking about the storefront, Shao Jingque finally had time to talk about the two police officers who came to the art troupe to question them, and the question was still about the photos at Yue Feiying's wedding.
Yue Feiying perked up when she heard this, and immediately asked Shao Jingque with a smile:
"Isn't that young police officer quite tall, with a buzz cut, big eyes and double eyelids, and a teardrop mole in the right corner of his eye?"
