Once the suspicion took root, Jiang Mingxin could no longer ignore it.
She kept recalling the original text, and felt more and more that Bai Ruoxi was unlike the heroine in the original text.
Maybe there was some similarity at the beginning, but since she came to Licheng, after several confrontations, Bai Ruoxi's performance has been abnormal again and again. It is not an exaggeration to say that her personality has collapsed.
Jiang Mingxin once thought that this was because her true nature was exposed.
But now that I think about it, is it possible that Lin Qiu switched the real Ruoxi?
That's why Bai Ruoxi doesn't have the temperament and ability of the heroine at all.
The reason why she has been able to live a comfortable life for the past ten years is all because of Lin Qiu.
Combined with Lin Qiu's confession in front of Bai Shuang's grave, Jiang Mingxin became more and more certain that this was the truth.
Lin Qiu traveled through time and knew the original plot, so he switched his biological daughter with the original heroine.
Then came the years-long wait.
While waiting for Bai Shuang and Jiang Dawei to divorce and take Bai Ruoxi to marry Bai Dingxian, she came to the Bai family to become her tutor and protect her biological daughter.
It's a pity that she overestimated her own abilities and raised Bai Ruoxi in the wrong way.
As a result, the main storyline that originally belonged to the heroine was not successfully replicated in Ruoxi.
Jiang Mingxin understood the whole story and suddenly his mind was enlightened.
This also explains why Lin Qiu is always aggressive and aggressive in front of her.
She didn't act like that because she was arrogant, but because she felt guilty.
As the only person in the world who knows the truth, Lin Qiu is more worried than anyone else about the truth being exposed.
She tried her best to help her own daughter reach the pinnacle of life, but unfortunately she was a hopeless person.
But she was determined to clear the obstacles for Bai Ruoxi before her death, which really shows the "pitiful love of parents in the world."
Jiang Mingxin couldn't help but laugh softly.
Lin Qiu planned carefully, but in the end he only moved himself.
I thought I had taken the secret into the coffin, but I didn't expect that there would be traces of everything.
The truth will eventually come out.
"What are you laughing at?" Xing Yi asked curiously.
"Nothing. Please tell Xing Haodong what I just said and have him send someone to secretly monitor Bai Ruoxi. Lin Qiu had already predicted her death, so it's impossible that she left nothing behind... She most likely left a suicide note, but we don't know where it was hidden."
Xing Yi agreed and told her to complete the task as soon as possible before hanging up the phone.
Soon, Jiang Mingxin followed Bailing to the destination.
"When do you plan to activate the secret technique?" Bai Ling pointed to the Palace Museum outside. "We can only enter through the Meridian Gate. The appraisers are all resting right now, so this is the best opportunity."
Jiang Mingxin put his hand into his pocket and played with his sunglasses, looking quite nonchalant.
"If you don't explain the situation to me, how can I find it?"
Bai Ling pushed up her glasses expressionlessly. "I've said everything I can. What else do you want to know?"
"For example, why did the Forbidden City lose a batch of Northern Wei Dynasty terracotta warriors? Or why did you deliberately test me with a bunch of photos of fakes?"
Jiang Mingxin had a smile on his face, but his eyes were like a deep pool.
Bailing opened her mouth in surprise.
"That's impossible. How can you tell those are fakes?"
Jiang Mingxin chuckled twice and lowered his voice in a mysterious manner: "Didn't the commander tell you a long time ago that I have special abilities? How could you possibly deceive me with such a trick?"
Bailing pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly, "I'm sorry, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just..."
"You just think I'm too young to have such amazing abilities? It doesn't matter. I've seen a lot of tinted glasses, and you're not the only one. Now you can tell me the truth."
Bailing nodded and took out a stack of photos from his briefcase and handed them to her.
"Why is it still a fake?" Jiang Mingxin raised his eyebrows unhappily. "If you try to test me again, I'll be really angry."
Bai Ling suddenly laughed. "This isn't to test you, but to explain the situation. These two Northern Wei Dynasty pottery figurines were purchased by a researcher from the Palace Museum last summer at a high price from a street vendor in Panjiayuan."
"To prevent this national treasure from being lost, the researcher applied for funding from their superiors and successfully acquired it, spending a whopping 30,000 yuan. But two months later, a second batch of Northern Wei Dynasty terracotta warriors appeared in Panjiayuan."
"Because the news of the Palace Museum's acquisition of rare treasures spread like wildfire, cultural relics experts and collectors from all over the country flocked to Panjiayuan, causing the prices of Northern Wei Dynasty terracotta figurines to soar. To acquire the second batch of Northern Wei Dynasty terracotta figurines, the Palace Museum spent 150,000 yuan."
Jiang Ming was shocked. "How many Northern Wei Dynasty pottery figurines are there? No, there are very few Northern Wei Dynasty pottery figurines handed down from generation to generation. How could so many appear in the same place in such a short period of time? Could they be ghost goods?"
Bai Ling smiled bitterly. "You and Director Lu of the National Cultural Heritage Administration had the same idea. He also felt something was fishy, so he had people keep an eye on it. As a result, not long after, the third and fourth batches of Northern Wei Dynasty terracotta warriors appeared in Panjiayuan."
"This was a serious problem. Director Lu believed that this must be a major tomb robbery case and immediately reported the situation to the public security department. After their investigation, they found that these Northern Wei Dynasty terracotta warriors all came from the same place."
After saying this, he gave a meaningful smile.
The corners of Jiang Mingxin's mouth twitched, "Could it be... that they are all from the Divine Capital?"
Bai Ling nodded. "You're from Henan Province, so you must have heard of Mangshan. The forger lived at the foot of Mangshan. Everyone in his village robbed tombs, but because he had a skill passed down from his ancestors, he only forged and didn't rob tombs."
Jiang Ming was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
After coming to her senses, she couldn't wait to ask, "After the An-Shi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty declined, and the craftsmanship of making painted pottery glaze was almost lost. How did this person make it?"
"I'm not sure about that. I just know that researchers at the Palace Museum highly admire his craftsmanship. He must be a genius. He was able to reconstruct a similar technique based solely on some fragments of painted pottery glaze found at the foot of Mang Mountain."
"So what happened next? How does this incident relate to the researcher spy you're looking for?"
Bai Ling frowned. "This folk expert originally agreed to work as a restorer at the Palace Museum, specializing in restoring painted pottery glaze. But Director Lu waited for him for over a month, and he didn't show up. When he sent someone to look for him, he discovered he was missing."
"Missing?" Jiang Mingxin immediately thought of Zhou Kui and Zhou Jing. "He was kidnapped? Is he related to the Zhou criminal group?"
Bailing shook her head. "This incident has nothing to do with them. But after this person disappeared, the four authentic Northern Wei Dynasty painted pottery figurines originally in the Palace Museum Research Institute disappeared one night, replaced by several fakes. Because they were so realistic, the researchers didn't discover them until several days later."
"This is clearly an inside job, but because we don't know when the original went missing, it presents significant difficulties for the police in their investigation! Because this is a serious and unique case, we've handed it over to the National Security Bureau."
