Shan Cong stood beside her: "Did you find anything?"
"No!" She drank some tea. "Go out and wait for me."
"No!" Shan Cong said in a low voice, "Officer Li asked me to watch you."
She glanced at him and said, "You stand out so much here. You look like a policeman."
"I..." He was a little unconvinced, "Why do I look like a policeman?"
"That guy just now was just testing us, and we were fooled," she said. "I'm afraid everyone here knows you're a police officer."
"Really?" He looked around and saw several pairs of eyes staring at him. "Then I'll leave. Can you do it alone?"
"If you want to catch fish, you naturally need the best bait," she said. "Go to the back and tell them I'll be up there to introduce the items myself."
"OK."
Shan Cong left quickly, leaving Mu Zishan alone. She noticed a figure beside Wang Yu, who seemed familiar. That person came over. He was the one who stopped her from behind: "Ms. Mu Zishan, Mr. Wang invites you over."
She looked forward and saw Wang Yu smiling at her. She went over to sit next to him, and he asked, "I didn't expect that a famous detective like you would be interested in these antiques."
“I’m interested in anything that has a story,” she said.
Wang Yu nodded and said, "I have a story here. I wonder if you would like to hear it."
The most important antique of this auction came up, and the guide began, "I think everyone has seen the information about this bronze artifact below, but we have also invited Ms. Mu Zishan, who has a special connection with this antique, to come on stage and tell everyone about the process of discovering it. Please come on stage."
Mu Zishan looked at him and said, "Let me tell you first." She walked up, stood on the stage, put on gloves, and picked up the bronze artifact from the display stand.
Someone around Wang Yu whispered something in his ear. He hesitated again, then waved him off. He continued to watch the person on the stage. She was explaining the origins of the antique, the process by which she had lost her reputation, and a bit of its history. After the introduction, the host took the stage to continue the explanation, explaining that for some reason, this item was not for sale and could be auctioned off, meaning the highest bidder would win.
Wang Yu, who was sitting below, looked at Mu Zishan and said, "Very well said."
"That's not enough," she said to him, as someone had already made a bid. "As for your story, I'm still very curious."
The corners of his mouth curled up: "After the auction, would you mind having a cup of coffee with me?"
"Of course," she said.
Soon, the antique was auctioned for tens of millions, and Wang Yu finally bought the bronze artifact for 60 million. When Shan Cong came out to look for Mu Zishan, he found that she had already gotten into Wang Yu's car and left.
In the car, Wang Yu received the news that his people had successfully obtained the bronze artifact from the auction house. He looked at Mu Zishan again and said, "It seems that I have to thank you for this."
"I think you are here for this thing. With your ability, it is better to take it home legitimately than to use unfair means to get it." When she was at the back of the auction venue, she found that many people had their eyes on this non-sale item. Even if it could not be auctioned this time, she was afraid that by the evening, no one would know who would get the thing.
He parked the car at a coffee shop, and the two of them went upstairs. Two hours later, Mu Zishan finally came out. Shan Cong, who had been waiting outside for a long time, asked, "What did he say?"
"Let's talk about it when we get back." She didn't expect that she still underestimated Wang Yu. The power behind him might not just be Huaiyuan Group.
Arriving at the courtyard, Shan Cong followed her into the room. She searched the Internet for information but could not find a satisfactory answer. Shan Cong saw her looking up Wang Yu's information and asked, "What happened to him?"
"Go call Lu Yang." She leaned on her hand, still a little confused.
"Oh." He hurried out and invited Lu Yang in.
"Lu Yang, please help me thoroughly investigate this guy named Wang Yu online," she emphasized, "including all the things he has deleted online."
"Wang Yu," he nodded and sat down at the computer, "I need a special software, please wait a moment."
Mu Zishan was sitting on the sofa nearby and said to Shan Cong, "That appraiser is Wang Yu's man. He is much smarter than we thought."
"What did he say?"
She looked at him and said, "He wanted to obtain this thing just to give it to another person. The benefits that person could bring him would far exceed the auction price."
"You mean, Wang Yu isn't the person we're looking for?" Shan Cong looked at her in surprise. This time, he had also sold the bronze artifact. Now that the strongest clue was gone, he became worried. "Then what should we do?"
"It's recovered," Lu Yang said, "Come and take a look."
Mu Zishan went over and looked through all the content. Except for some women, it was just some meaningless nagging.
"There's nothing to be said about this." Shan Cong was very disappointed.
Lu Yang said, "Don't you think it's a little strange?"
"What do you mean?" Mu Zishan asked.
"A normal man wouldn't post everything online like a woman would."
"You mean to say that someone took advantage of his identity?"
"That's a possibility."
Shanmu suddenly remembered something and asked Shan Cong to contact Officer Li immediately. She returned to the coffee shop alone and pushed open the men's restroom. The man inside was startled and ran out with his pants pulled up.
She opened the doors one by one, and at the end, she pushed hard and found Wang Yu's body sitting on the toilet. Shan Cong, who arrived shortly after, quickly sent someone in to protect the scene. Officer Li came in and called Mu Zishan out: "What exactly happened?"
"If you have anything to say, say it quickly. I need to go check out the scene." She looked at the staff who were inspecting, and then observed the surrounding environment.
"Excuse me," a man in a police uniform approached, "I'm afraid you'll have to go with ours."
Obviously, she was the one who met this man last. Now that something happened to him, she became the biggest suspect. Her wife said, "I need to see the wounds of the deceased."
"I'm afraid you don't have that right now," the policeman said.
Shan Cong stood aside and said, "Mr. Li, go up and talk."
He glared at him, "Didn't I ask you to watch her? What's going on?"
"How should I know?" Shan Cong said.
Mu Zishan handed the item in his hand to Shan Cong, and then said to Officer Li, "Tell me if there is any result."
Officer Li just nodded, but he was afraid that he would not take over this case: "Let Shan Cong tell you when the time comes." He also turned and left.
