When Director Zhou's words sounded like an interrogation, Gu Mei looked up and stared straight at him without retreating: "I just said what I saw, as for what really happened, I don't know, nor am I clear about it."

  "Last night was you and Teacher Feng's last departure." Manager Zhou said in a low voice.

  "Yes." Gu Mei frankly admitted, and continued: "I can confirm that when I left this room last night, the jade bowl was still genuine."

  "That......" Director Zhou trailed off, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

  "What I said is all true, and Teacher Feng can also prove it. It was him who locked the door last night." Gu Mian's gaze swept lightly over the others before continuing: "Yu Wan obviously doesn't know who switched her, Director Zhou, you're asking me this now, are you implying that I did something?"

  Director Zhou frowned slightly, remained silent for a moment, before speaking: "I don't want to suspect you either, but since you and Teacher Feng were the last people to see Yu Wan yesterday night, it's necessary to clarify some things."

  "I understand this, of course, but Director Zhou, you should also be clear that I've only been at the Hai Yun auction house for a short time, and before yesterday, I had never even seen that jade bowl. Let's not mention that I didn't know the password to this room or have the key to lock the jade bowl box. In such a short period of time, how could I possibly produce a fake that looks so similar? Your suspicion seems unfounded." Gu Xiang spread his hands.

  Director Zhou was tongue-tied, but he also knew this point. Compared to Gu Mian, who had just arrived, Teacher Feng was actually a more suspicious object, but he didn't want to believe it.

  After all, he and Teacher Feng have worked together for many years and still have a certain understanding of each other's character. If Teacher Feng really wanted to do something like this, she wouldn't wait until today to do it.

  But Mr. Feng, who is usually punctual, still hasn't arrived yet. It's really unreasonable, and it makes him question his own thoughts.

  At this time, everyone also came back to their senses. Except for Gu Mian, another key figure, Mr. Feng, had not arrived yet, and it was inevitable that people would associate the switching of the jade bowl with Mr. Feng.

  "Sorry, something's wrong with the car, I'm late." Just then, Feng Lao Shi, who had just been listed as the number one suspect, suddenly appeared at the door.

  "Old Feng!" Manager Zhou exclaimed.

  "What's wrong?" Mr. Feng felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit serious, while Gu Mian was surrounded by everyone in the middle, opening his mouth to ask in confusion.

  "How come you're just arriving now? I couldn't even reach you on the phone." Manager Zhou immediately stepped forward.

  Mr. Feng said with a hint of apology: "The car had an accident on the road and my phone was broken."

  "The Qing Dynasty white jade goldfish patterned bowl you were in charge of has been swapped with a fake one! It's now placed here. Didn't you check it last night? Was there any problem at that time?" Manager Zhou asked hastily.

  Mr. Feng suddenly became serious, looked at Gu Mei who was still relatively calm standing beside him: "This is impossible. Last night when I checked, the Qing Dynasty white jade goldfish pattern flower-shaped bowl was absolutely genuine, and then I locked the door and left with Gu Mei. Isn't there a display time on the password lock? Has anyone entered after we left?"

  "There is no one. The time on the password lock shows that from last night when you left until this morning when we opened the door again, no one has entered." Manager Zhou's face looked a bit unsightly.

  Mr. Feng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Could it be that you suspect I did it?"

  "I know what kind of person Old Feng is, but... " Director Zhou paused for a moment, then continued: "But since this thing has been swapped out, we need to have some explanation."

  "Do you have any evidence that it was me or Gu Mian who did it?" Mr. Feng glared at Director Zhou, taking large strides to stand beside Gu Mian. "That Qing dynasty white jade goldfish patterned flower-shaped bowl was fine when we left yesterday, and now this morning it's not right and you want to pin this on us? Without solid evidence, please don't make wild guesses. This is a matter of reputation, it's no small thing!"

  "You're right, but both of you said that the Qing dynasty white jade goldfish pattern bowl was genuine last night, and when you opened it early this morning, it became a fake. There hasn't been anyone else entering this room in between, so who can you suspect? Originally, Director Zhou had some doubts about whether this matter was related to Teacher Feng or not, but now hearing Teacher Feng's questioning, he also felt somewhat angry."

  "Evidence? Evidence? Besides, I'm not the only one who knows the password." Mr. Feng said uncompromisingly.

  Gu Meng looked at Mr. Feng arguing with Director Zhou and felt a little uncertain in her heart.

  The Qing Dynasty white jade goldfish pattern flower-shaped bowl was swapped. This matter is not to be doubted, before Mr. Feng arrived, she had also suspected the other party, after all, Mr. Feng knew the room's password and had the key to the box. Now that Mr. Feng has come, her suspicion has not disappeared. Although Mr. Feng showed a look of being extremely humiliated.

  Apart from this, she even suspected Zhou Zhuguan, who also had the password and key. Today was also Zhou Zhuguan who brought her to conduct the final inspection, it's hard to guarantee that the other party didn't want to frame her by taking advantage of the situation.

  But this approach seems to be a bit unconvincing. Even if Director Zhou framed someone, his own suspicion would not be eliminated.

  "What do you mean? Are you saying that Qing dynasty white jade goldfish pattern flower-shaped bowl was replaced by me?" Manager Zhou was furious.

  Teacher Feng did not deny it, but instead said: "Old Zhou, I know you're afraid of taking responsibility when something happens, but you can't just randomly bite people because of this."

  "I don't have any evidence to prove whether you've done something or not, but can you prove that you haven't done anything?" Director Zhou's face turned bright red with anger as he saw Teacher Feng suddenly turn the topic around and hint that he was trying to shirk responsibility by constantly picking on him and Gu Mian.

  "Yesterday, after I left with Gu Mian, I went straight home. The security guard at the auction house can testify to this, and the gatekeeper of my residential area can also testify that I didn't come back again after leaving. After that, I stayed at home all the time. If you don't believe me, you can go ask around." Mr. Feng presented his alibi.

  "What about you?" Manager Zhou turned from Teacher Feng and looked at Gu Mian.

  Gu Xiang's heart skipped a beat as she immediately realized something was wrong: "I went to the venue after work yesterday to wait for Bai Fangfang to get off work, and I stayed in the rest room the whole time."

  "Can anyone prove you've been inside and never came out?" Director Zhou grasped the key point and asked.

  "No." Gu Mian recalled the two women gossiping in the rest room, but they didn't even notice her.

  As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Mei felt that the suspicious and inquiring eyes that had originally been focused on Teacher Feng were once again directed at her.

  Miss Feng has gone home, someone can prove it, but she didn't leave the auction house, and no one can prove that she stayed in the rest room all the time. Although she doesn't know the password or have a key, suspicion is greatly increased.

  "What's going on here? The auction is about to start, hurry up and get ready!" Just then, Jiang Zong, the person in charge of hosting the entire auction, walked in with a displeased expression, looking at everyone.

  "Director Jiang, something's happened..." Manager Zhou saw the person coming and thought it was bad news, but he didn't dare to hide the fact that the Qing dynasty white jade goldfish pattern flower-shaped bowl had been switched. He could only roughly tell Director Jiang about the matter.

  The more Jiang listened, the uglier his face became, and he emitted an oppressive aura that made people feel suffocated.

  "When something like this happens, you don't report it in time. What are you doing standing here looking for suspects? Do you think you're more capable than the police and can find the murderer immediately? The auction is about to start, what's the point of messing around here? It's better to report to the police immediately!" Jiang Zong glared at Zhou Zhuang with a fierce gaze.

  "Report, report the police?" Director Zhou was startled and quickly said to Jiang: "If the police come now, what if someone sees them? The auction is in a few days and many people will be coming."

  "You didn't secretly call someone over? This auction isn't being held publicly, we had already made arrangements beforehand. As long as you're careful, how could you be discovered?" Jiang's eyes gleamed with a fierce light, his voice low and menacing: "No one who has entered this room today is allowed to leave the auction house until the police arrive for questioning. Our auction house has never had any problems before, if it's discovered that there's an insider, they'll definitely be locked up for good, no one will be able to escape!"

  Everyone trembled with fear, hearing that they were going to be investigated by the police, and more or less showed a hint of panic.

  Director Zhou received the instructions and immediately called the police station. The others, under Jiang's supervision, began to prepare for the upcoming auction, while Gu Xiang and Professor Feng, as key suspects, were arranged to be watched on the side.

  "Qin Sheng, Qin Sheng!" Fangzhou rushed back to the rest room after just going to the bathroom and hurried over to Qin Sheng who was reading the auction catalog.

  "What's wrong?" Qin Sheng said calmly.

  "Guess who I just saw?" Fangzhou looked at Qinsheng with a mysterious face.

  Qin Sheng helplessly raised his head: "I don't have time to play guessing games with you."

  "I didn't play guessing games with you, do you still remember the Miss Gu who let you buy the Song Dynasty Ding Kiln porcelain pillow for 2 million? " Fang Zhou grabbed Qin Sheng's arm and lowered his voice: "I just saw that Zhu Kai also came to the auction house, and he's together with Miss Gu!"
