Chapter 263 Decryption Begins



On the first day on the yacht, an open trade fair was held.

On the second day on the yacht, an anonymous trade fair was held, and Rat died.

On the third day on the yacht, Wu Ma's safe was pried open, and that night, collection No. 2 was stolen.

On the fourth day on the yacht, Chen Long said his jade carving was lost.

Jian Jing: It's murder and theft, this is definitely a theater version of the case.

Otherwise it wouldn't be so bad.

But the more actions you take, the more flaws you will find. She went to the safe, strolled around for a long time, and didn't see any problems, so she asked Tina to take her to check the surveillance.

The surveillance showed that Chen Long went to the safe to deposit something at around 19:00 last night. After that, no one approached except for normal people walking around in the surveillance until Tina and Jian Jing arrived.

Not long after, Xu Gou came over, talked to Jian Jing for a few words, went in to get something and came out, the whole process took no more than two minutes.

Then this afternoon, Wei Yang, Ugly Ox, and Chen Long all came in, each taking about five minutes, and came out empty-handed.

But compared to the calmness of Wei Yang and Ugly Ox, Chen Long's face was not so good.

Jian Jing repeatedly zoomed in several times, magnifying the details of everyone's clothes as much as possible, but still didn't see anything wrong - she had seen Chen Long's jade carving, it was a very beautiful jade goose, with sharp edges and corners, if it was hidden in the clothes, it would be exposed anyway. She

held her chin in thought, and suddenly heard a noise, getting closer and closer to her head, making her head hurt.

"What's that noise?"

"I'll go check it out." Tina went and came back, her face full of relaxation, "Mr. Gu is here."

Jian Jing was also happy: "Let's go pick him up."

Going up to the top deck, the helipad was ready, and a helicopter descended from the sky, hovering for a while and finally stopped.

A middle-aged man walked down and nodded to Tina: "Thank you for your hard work these two days, it's really not easy."

Tina's high heart finally let go a little.

Thinking that she was also a veteran in the workplace for ten years, she used to be a secretary for the bosses. The most difficult job was to deal with the employer's tricky requests, such as buying tickets for the opera this afternoon (they started pre-selling a month ago), and suddenly arranging to have dinner with a big shot, and must book a certain restaurant, etc.

These jobs were not easy to do, and she had moved them all. But in this case, first the boss died, and then tens of millions of things were lost. Who wouldn't collapse?

"I didn't do my job well." Tina knew she couldn't handle such a troublesome situation, so she decisively asked her boss for help. "An hour ago, another customer lost something."

She briefly explained the whole story and waited for a reply.

Who knew that Mr. Gu thought for a while and asked Jian Jing: "Has there been any progress in the investigation of Miss Jian?"

As expected, her identity had been investigated. Jian Jing didn't hesitate and said, "I want to take a look at collection No. 1 and No. 3. Could you open the safe?"

"Sure." Mr. Gu agreed immediately and said, "I have inquired about Miss Jian's resume, and I believe this matter will not be difficult for you either."

Jian Jing smiled, exchanged a few words of "I don't deserve it", and then said, "It's really sad that such a thing happened. Mr. Rat did so much for the trade fair, but someone still took advantage of it."

Mr. Gu nodded and said with emotion, "If your uncle knew that such an important antique was lost, I wonder how sorry he would be."

"Is Mr. Zishu your uncle?"

Mr. Gu then told him about the old story: Zishu was born in an intellectual family. Because of his bad family background, the family had a hard time. Considering that the little daughter was small and weak and could not stand the hardship, they reluctantly sent her to be raised by relatives. She was Mr. Gu's mother. The

eldest son stayed with him all the time and suffered a lot. It was hard to say whether it was his nature or the environment, but Mr. Zishu began to do unorthodox things. At the same time, because he was influenced by his parents, he was quite knowledgeable about history and culture. When peace came later and his parents died of illness, he had evil thoughts and started to forge antiques to deceive people.

The water of antiques is so deep that even old birds can hardly make mistakes, let alone those rookies who dream of getting rich overnight? They will fall into trouble if they are not careful.

The culprit, Rat, had no regrets and was even a little proud: "Our business relies on our eyesight. You can't blame me for my poor eyesight?"

But even though his counterfeiting skills were so ingenious that they almost made the fake look real, he eventually fell into trouble.

People didn't follow the rules with him and just started to use the knife. Although he was lucky enough to escape, he didn't dare to go back to his old business. He changed his name and moved away. Unexpectedly, he just avoided a severe beating and avoided imprisonment.

However, after dealing with antiques for most of his life, even if he stopped, his heart was still itchy. Somehow, around the millennium, he suddenly became an expert in the treasure appraisal column, specializing in antique appraisal, and became a little famous in the industry.

Because of this, he was able to reunite with Mr. Gu's mother and find his long-lost relatives.

"My uncle has no children in his life, but he loves antiques and has collected some good things. I heard that a member wanted to sell a bronze head, and he spent a lot of effort to get it." Mr. Gu sighed and shook his head, "Who wants to lose his life."

Jian Jing asked again: "Do you know why Mr. Rat went to such great lengths to protect the privacy of both parties?"

Mr. Gu thought about it and said: "Maybe this is his 'farewell performance'."

She raised her eyebrows: "Will you retire from the business in the future?"

"He's not in good health. He's been dead for two years." Mr. Gu sighed. "The old man has been studying this all his life. He must want to do it perfectly for the last time."

He said sincerely, "Miss Jian, my uncle did some bad things when he was young, but in the past two years, he has donated a lot of cultural relics and often told me that he regrets his past actions. I hope you will find out the murderer for the sake of his repentance and comfort his soul in heaven."

The family of the deceased begged so much, and Jian Jing naturally agreed.

Mr. Gu acted quickly and was busy like a top for two days. After finally arriving at the place, he refused to rest and immediately took Jian Jing to the safe.

During the period, he carefully asked about the whole process of the theft of the jade carving, and he couldn't help but have a headache.

From the surveillance, the suspect was among the people who had entered the vault, but they had no right to search anyone's luggage, especially since they were on the high seas and the guests were from different countries.

"Miss Jian, do you have any idea?" Mr. Gu asked Jian Jing.

Jian Jing responded ambiguously, still looking at collections No. 1 and No. 3, and no one knew what she was thinking.

After a while, she said, "I still need to investigate some things. Why don't you take a rest first and talk to me tomorrow morning."

Mr. Gu thought for a moment, chose to believe her, and nodded: "Okay, but the ship can't stay on the sea forever. Can it return tomorrow?"

"Let's set off tonight." Jian Jing said, "Maybe tomorrow, everything will be over."

"That couldn't be better."

Jian Jing was busy all night, first strolling in the safe for two hours, and then going back to the cabin to mess around for half a day. At three o'clock in the morning, she had a video call with Ji Feng.

He took more than ten minutes to answer the phone: "Teacher Jian - what are you doing in the middle of the night?"

"Get up, I have something to ask you." Jian Jing called him without mercy.

Ji Feng sat up from the bed in the duty room with sleepy eyes and looked at the watch. Okay, he had only slept for an hour and a half when he was woken up by the writer lady: "You ask."

Jian Jing: "Help me check something."

"This is against discipline." He said lazily, "What for, check how many times my boyfriend has checked into a hotel?"

She: "Do you want to die?"

Ji Feng: "What happened, someone died?"

"More than one, tens of millions of antiques were lost." Jian Jing asked, "Are you awake now?"

He was indeed alert: "What to check?"

Jian Jing said this and that, and said: "I want to know the result by seven o'clock at the latest."

"...You are really my leader." Ji Feng complained, "Okay, okay, got it."

"Don't call, there is no signal at sea."

"Got it."

After that, she took a nap and got up on time at six o'clock to wash.

Just at this time, Ji Feng called back.

Through the camera, he saw Jian Jing sitting on the terrace, a red sun rising slowly over the blue sea, the waves glittering with golden light, she crossed her legs, leaning on a rattan chair to braid her hair.

If there is any advantage of being flexible, it is reflected in peeling shrimps and braiding hair.

Ji Feng squinted to identify it, and exclaimed: "Teacher Jian really has a childlike heart, this braid is like a kindergarten kid."

Jian Jing paused and slowly looked at him.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all, and said, "The little girls in the kindergarten I passed on my way to work all had their braids like this."

"It's called a boxing braid," she smiled. "If you were in front of me, I'd show you right away."

Ji Feng: "Hello." "

What's the result?" Jian Jing went straight to the point. "Is it what I thought?"

"Yes, of course. You've got no other options." On the other end of the phone, Ji Feng was stirring instant coffee while glancing at the vendors outside the door. He kept talking and telling them everything he had found out.

Jian Jing responded from time to time, and finally asked: "What are you looking at?"

"Baked bread... Shit, wait for me." He put down his phone, ran out of the door quickly, and called the old lady selling breakfast at the door, "Give me two baked bread and fried dough sticks, and a tea leaf egg, do you have tofu pudding?"

Five minutes later, he came back with a plastic bag, his expression relaxed: "Teacher Jian?"

The screen was black.

She sent a voice message, clicked it, and sneered: "You'll get fat to death."

He: "..." The real culprit.

On the other side, Jian Jing packed up her things and decided to go to the restaurant for breakfast.

The chef was already preparing the ingredients. She strolled into the kitchen and asked, "Do you have any pancakes?"

The chef looked at her silently for a while and said, "I can make you some scallion pancakes."

"Okay." Jian Jing reluctantly asked, "Do you have any crab meat in a small basket?"

The chef perked up a little: "Yes, what else do you want?"

"Wontons."

Jian Jing ordered several dishes in one breath. When they were served hot, she quickly found an angle to take a photo, and sent it directly to Ji Feng without editing.

He: [I've finished it all]

She: [Pah!]

Jian Jing finished her breakfast like a whirlwind, and then sent a text message to Mr. Gu, asking him to ask the guests to meet in the lobby at ten o'clock.

She was going to solve a case (zhuang) (bi).

Time passed quickly, and around ten o'clock, ten guests, secretary Tina, and Mr. Gu arrived at the hall.

The anonymous auction arrangement was still preserved here.

Jian Jing sat in the most conspicuous position, next to a small table covered with a tablecloth, on which was a cup of hot coffee, with white smoke rising.

"Please take a seat, everyone." She said, "I invited you here to understand what happened in the past two days."

Wei Yang asked, "Has the murderer been found?"

Shen Hou was concerned, "Has the bronze head been found?"

Wu Ma said, "I heard that the ship has returned? Are you going to call the police?"

Chen Long hesitated to speak.

"After all this time, we still have to call the police?" Pig was irritable, "Are they going to detain us for a few more days? I have things to do, it's really annoying." Ox

remained calm, Tiger was indifferent, Snake wore a mask and seemed to cough even more. Dog seemed a little out of shape, Rooster was still calm.

"Let's hear what Miss Jian has to say." Mr. Gu said briefly.

Jian Jing said, "A lot of things have happened in the past few days. For me, the most important thing to investigate is the murder of Mr. Rat, but then I found that if I can't figure out the mystery of the bronze head, there is no way to dig out the truth."

She looked around at everyone and made the final decision, "So, let's talk about the theft of the bronze head first. After all, the owner of the bronze head specifically found me and asked me to find it back."
