Crazy Detective - Chapter 2575

“At 2:15 in the afternoon, an auction was being held at the good auction house in Shenshen city. ”

On the display stand was a Qing Dynasty landscape painting.

“ 750000,” the auctioneer said with the mallet in his hand.”Is there anyone else who wants to raise the bid? 750 thousand going once … Oh … 800 thousand … Any more?” ”

“On the auction seat, a man in a blue suit raised his sign and said,” 1 million!” ”

“Okay, this bold gentleman bids one million. One million going once, one million going twice,” the auctioneer shouted.”One million going thrice, sold!” ”

“With the sound of the mallet, the man in the blue suit successfully won the landscape painting. ”

“The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a slight smile. Then, he turned his attention to the next item. ”

“However, at this moment, his assistant suddenly appeared beside him and whispered a few words in his ear. The man in the blue suit’s face darkened, and he was forced to leave. ”

“After walking out of the auction hall, he went straight to the VIP lounge next door under the guidance of the assistant. ”

“In the lounge, Miao Ying, cui Lizhu, Wu Xiumin, and a few other police detectives from Yunzhou were all in plain clothes. ”

“Why …” The man in the blue suit sighed and said unhappily,”can’t you wait until the auction is over?” ”

“Mr. Bao,” Miao Ying said graciously.”There are two more items that have a starting price of less than 500000 Yuan. I don’t think you’ll be interested in them, right?” ”

“This …” The man called Mr. Bao was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and sat down on the sofa next to him.”Police officers, what can I do for you?” ”

“Wow …” He was surprised to see that Miao Ying, cui Lizhu, and Wu Xiumin were all policewomen. ”

“You’re Bao Yucheng,” Miao Ying said.”Then, Bao Yicheng is …” ”

“My cousin,” the man replied,”he works at an airline company. Why … Are you here to find me because of my cousin?” Is he alright?” ”

“Mr. Bao,” Miao Ying said.”We’re here for Zhang Qile’s case. We want to ask you something.” ”

“Oh…Zhang Qile!” Bao Yucheng said,”great painter, what a pity …” ”

“We heard that,” Miao Ying asked directly,”Zhang Qile once painted a painting of the red bathtub case, and you bought it. Is that true?” ”

“Yes.” Bao Yucheng nodded.”I’ve been talking about this for many years!” ”

“Oh?” “What’s the reason for your interest?”Miao Ying asked. ”

“My taste?” Bao Yucheng said,”I could tell that miss Zhang Qile was talented back then. ”

“Back then, I spent 200000 Yuan to buy a few of her paintings. In just a few years, these paintings are already worth tens of millions. Tell me, why don’t I talk about them with great relish?” ”

“I want to know,” Miao Ying asked,”is the red bathtub painting by Zhang Qile still in your hands? Can we take a look?” ”

“Hmm … About that …” Bao Yucheng thought for a moment and said,”the painting is at my house. You can go and see it at any time …” ”

“But … Why do I suddenly feel that you’re not here with good intentions?” ”

“Mr. Bao likes to use idioms,” Miao Ying said.”Please don’t misunderstand. We just want to find out the truth. We hope you can cooperate with us!” ”

“Of course, but this case …” Bao Yucheng asked warily,”does it have anything to do with the painting?” This …” ”

“Don’t be nervous,” Miao Ying said.”I just wanted to ask, how is your personal relationship with miss Zhang Qile?” ”

“Ms. Zhang … Um …” Bao Yucheng said.”Ever since I bought her painting a few years ago, she has contacted me many times through her connections. In general, we’re pretty close!” ”

“We’ve had a few meals over the past few years. I’ve even been to her art exhibition and recommended her on the magazine. That’s all …” ”

“Then …” Miao Ying asked again,”did you know that miss Zhang Qile and your cousin Bao Yicheng have an ambiguous relationship?” ”

“I know, I’ve heard a little about it. It’s probably just rumors!” “Yicheng has a wife,” Bao Yucheng said.”I hope you can be merciful!” ”

“During this time,” Miao Ying asked again,”did you buy any of Zhang Qile’s paintings?” ”

“No…” Bao Yucheng replied with certainty.”Her subsequent paintings were too utilitarian. To be honest, I didn’t like her way of promoting herself! ”

“When an artist only cares about how to package himself and how to promote himself, he has already lost his artistic vitality!” ”

“Then … Can I ask you a personal question?” Miao Ying said,”seven years ago, Zhang Qile was just a student who had just graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts. Why did you spend so much money to buy all of her paintings?” ”

“Haha, a lot of people have asked me that question.” Bao Yucheng smiled and said,”if I said that there was no reason, I’m afraid many people wouldn’t believe me. But to be honest, there really was no reason. I just like him!” ”

“I like it …” Miao Ying stopped smiling and asked in a serious tone,”do you really like that red bathtub?” ”

“You …” Bao Yucheng felt Miao Ying’s piercing gaze and his expression changed.”What you just said might be misleading!” He said. ”

“Bao Yucheng’s assistant immediately asked,”Mr. Bao, do you want to call your lawyer over?” ”

“No,” Bao Yucheng said, waving his hand.”I’ve never done anything wrong. Why would I call a lawyer?” ”

“Police officer, you’re absolutely right. The reason why I bought Zhang Qile’s painting was because I liked this red bathtub. I think Zhang Qile’s painting is very good, and it has a strong sense of realism! ”

“You’ll understand when you see the painting,” Bao Yucheng said.”There’s a sense of repressed beauty in the painting. It’s the perfect interpretation of Morgan art. You can even smell blood when you see the painting …” ”

“As he spoke, Bao Yucheng seemed to be lost in his thoughts and kept his eyes closed. ”

“As someone from Yunzhou, I naturally know about the red bathtub case,” Bao Yucheng said.”It’s really rare for miss Zhang Qile to draw such a realistic effect. ”

“Moreover, from a moral standpoint, that painting definitely has room for appreciation. As long as it’s hyped up properly, it might be able to sell for a higher price in the future!” ”

“Hehe, now that you’ve told me the truth …” Cui Lizhu muttered.”Now that I’ve gotten what I wanted, once Zhang Qile dies, this painting will be sold for a sky-high price, right?” ”

“This …” Bao Yucheng’s eyes flew open, and his lips trembled as he said,”I … I didn’t mean that!” I mean, no one in Yunzhou would dare to paint the bathtub red. So many people have died, it’s ominous! ”

“Also, if the victim’s family found out about this, they would definitely protest. In that case, the painting would be quite valuable! I … I didn’t mention Zhang Qile’s death … This …” ”

“At that moment, Bao Yucheng finally realized that he had tripped himself up. He was naturally depressed and anxious. ”

“Mr. Bao,” his assistant was even more anxious. He held the phone and said,”I think we should contact your lawyer as soon as possible!” ”
