Zhu Kai took Gu Mian to Jiang's office, Du Hao originally wanted to follow in, but was stopped by Zhu Kai at the door, citing that idle people were not allowed to enter.
At this time, the office had already gathered a number of people. Not only were Feng Wei and Tian Tian present, but also several other high-level executives from the auction house, except for those who had to stay at the auction site in case of an emergency.
None of these were what shocked Gu Meng most; what shocked her was that Qin Sheng was also in this room.
She knew that Qin Sheng was back to attend this auction, but she couldn't understand why at the time of the auction, Qin Sheng wasn't bidding on the scene, instead he was in Jiang's office.
"Take a look, was it this bowl that was swapped? Although we've already had a professional appraiser take a look, you were still one of the last people to touch this jade bowl last night. To avoid another accident, everyone wants you to confirm." Zhu Kai pointed at Jiang's office desk and said to Gu Xiang.
Gu Mei raised her eyes and saw that on Jiang's office desk was the Qing dynasty white jade gold-trimmed fish-patterned flower-shaped bowl she had seen yesterday, while Jiang stood behind his desk, staring tightly at the jade bowl.
She glanced at Feng Wei and Tian Tian who were being closely watched by the police in the room, but both of them had their heads down, making it impossible to see the expressions on their faces.
She took a few quick steps forward, and with an inquiring gaze, Gu Mei looked at President Jiang. Seeing him nod towards her, she stretched out her left hand to touch the Qing Dynasty white jade goldfish patterned flower-shaped bowl.
At the moment of touching the jade bowl, the familiar warmth, the joy that rose in my heart, and the sound of water caused by the fish swimming and swinging its tail all proved that this bowl was indeed the Qing Dynasty white jade goldfish pattern flower-shaped bowl that had been switched.
Observe carefully. Under the flower-shaped double ears, on one side of the golden foil, there is a small flower missing a small petal, which further confirmed Gu Xiang's judgment.
"It's this one." Gu Ming said with certainty.
"Alright." Zhu Kai nodded and turned his head towards Feng Wei and Tian Tian: "Do you have anything else to say?"
"This jade bowl wasn't exchanged by me" Tian Tian quickly lifted her head and glanced at Zhu Kai.
"Do you still want to deny it?" Zhu Kai sneered: "This jade bowl was found in the bathroom, and there are your fingerprints on the vacuum bag."
"I don't know why there are fingerprints on it either, I didn't even know the password and I don't have the key to the box!" Tian Tian said hastily.
"Do you think that just because the monitor is broken, no one will see what you're doing?" Zhu Kai said lightly.
Qin Sheng took a step forward and inserted a small U-disk into the computer on Jiang's desk. After fiddling with it for a while, he opened a video file.
The video starts with Feng Wei walking out of the door to answer the phone, but after he walks out of the door and holds the phone, he doesn't speak, instead looks around in all directions, then nods towards a certain direction. After that, he maintains the appearance of being on the phone and stands outside for over ten minutes before returning to the room again.
Not long after, Gu Mei and Feng Wei walked out of the room together. Gu Mei stood to one side to avoid suspicion, while Feng Wei quickly locked the electronic password lock. After locking the door, they left together. The time displayed on the screen was 6:34 yesterday afternoon.
The people in the house were quietly watching the screen on the computer, while Feng Wei and Tian Tian were stunned at the moment they saw this scene. Tian Tian's eyes were even more filled with incredulity.
Qin Sheng fast-forwarded the video to 6:40, when Tian Tian appeared on screen. She was wearing gloves and holding a small object in her arms. She took out something that looked like an interference device and fiddled with the password lock for a while before quickly entering the password and opening it. Less than two minutes later, she came out of the room again, re-fiddled with the password lock, and then left.
Gu Meng thought this scene was over, but Qin Sheng opened another video. This video showed Tian Tian entering the room and taking out a key to retrieve the real Qing Dynasty white jade goldfish pattern flower-shaped bowl from inside, then took out an identical jade bowl and put it in the box, locked the box and left the room.
If you don't understand what's going on by now, then it's really been a waste of life.
"Miss Tian, I suppose you have nothing to say now. The surveillance camera in the auction room had a problem due to an unknown malfunction a few days ago. The auction house didn't have time to find someone to fix it, so logically speaking, your actions shouldn't have been recorded." Zhu Kai glanced at Qin Sheng and continued: "Unfortunately, you don't know that Hai Yun's chairman recently imported a pinhole camera from abroad to avoid this kind of problem, and only a few people are aware of it."
Tian Tianbai's face turned white as she stared at Zhu Kai in horror, the iron-like fact before her eyes allowing no room for pretence or any words to defend herself.
"As for Mr. Feng... According to our investigation, you had a failed investment recently and owe a large sum of money. The other party is forcing you to pay it back within a month, and tomorrow is the deadline. And it seems that you and Miss Tian have an unusual relationship." Zhu Kai looked at Feng Wei with a hint of a smile.
Feng Wei moved his lips, seemingly wanting to say something, but seeing Gu Qing standing beside him, staring at him quietly, he ultimately said nothing and persisted in silence.
"Mr. Feng, it's okay if you don't say anything now. We'll talk about it in detail later when we get back to the police station. For example, has anyone approached a master forger to replicate a Qing dynasty white jade goldfish patterned bowl in the past month? Although I'm not in this line of work, someone I know is quite familiar with this area, and I believe it's not difficult to find out. Zhu Kai gave a signal to the police officers surrounding Feng Wei and Tian Tian, and they took the two away."
Gu Meng watched as Tian Tian and Feng Wei were taken away by the police. She had wanted to ask them a few questions, but the words reached her lips and she swallowed them back. Now that things had come to this point, whether she asked or not didn't make much of a difference anyway.
Judging from the current situation, Tian Tian and Feng Wei should have colluded to replace the Qing Dynasty white jade goldfish pattern flower-shaped bowl, and she was used as a scapegoat by them. This plan probably started on the day she was transferred to the appraisal room.
She was able to get close to Feng Wei because Tian Tian played an indispensable role in it, and when she first introduced the people in the appraisal room to her, she subtly leaned towards Feng Wei in language, inducing her to have a good impression of Feng Wei.
And after several contacts with others in the appraisal room behind her, she also clearly felt that Feng Wei was indeed as easy-going and down-to-earth as Tian Tian said, unlike some appraisers who looked down on new appraisal assistants.
When a person enters an unfamiliar environment, they naturally tend to lean towards people who are kind to them. She unknowingly followed Feng Wei and Tian Tian's intentions and became a suspect in the crime.
This is also a lesson for her, she saw the kindness on people's surface but didn't see the evil intentions hidden behind their backs.
Gu Meng thought she wasn't a stupid person. But this time, she was calculated by someone so ruthlessly that she almost got framed for theft, and from now on, it's very likely that she won't be able to continue in this line of work, which really made her feel down.
Feng Wei chose her probably because he saw that she had no experience.
During her time in the appraisal room, Feng Wei would sometimes test her. At that time, she still thought Feng Wei was a good person who guided her a lot. However, thinking back now, Feng Wei was not testing her, but rather probing her.
Fortunately, she didn't mean to show off here, after all, because of Director Zhou's attitude. She has already been envied by many people, if she wants to spend the summer internship period safely and stably. It's best to try not to cause trouble, so most of her answers are very standard and don't go beyond the bounds.
Also because of this, Feng Wei mostly just thought she was a diligent student and nothing more.
Moreover, if she didn't have this special ability of the left hand, it's unlikely that she could distinguish between the true and false jade bowls so quickly. Once she misjudged and signed...
The real suspect was found, and although Gu Mei didn't have a solid alibi, there was also no evidence to prove that she was involved in the switch. So Zhu Kai let her go, only asking for her cooperation if needed during the police investigation.
When Gu Meng walked out of Jiang's office safely, she suddenly had a feeling as if she was in another world.
She's still too naive, lacking in experience and training, which is why she was manipulated by others even though she felt something was off. If she were more vigilant, she might not have been dragged into this situation at all.
Du Hao was not outside the door at this time, which made Gu Mei feel a little relieved. Her depressed mood improved slightly.
"Officer Zhu, thank you. If it wasn't for you finding that video and investigating other things, I don't know what would have happened." Gu Mei took a deep breath, filled with gratitude, and thanked Zhu Kai who walked out with her.
Zhu Kai waved his hand and pointed to the back of Gu Ming, saying with a hint of teasing: "I didn't actually do much, besides investigating the truth is my duty. If you really want to thank me, it's better to thank him instead, he was the one who found those videos."
"Mr. Qin..." Gu Mian turned around and her gaze collided with Qin Sheng who had just come out of Jiang's office.
Zhu Kai nodded at Qin Sheng and didn't say anything more, then left from beside them.
Thank you kk仔真乖 and 110512 for the little pink tickets, thank you all for your support~~~~ The cat has been very sad these two days, ranking fourth in the new book chart for two consecutive days. The cat wants to get into the top three because the top three have prizes. However, every time a reader gives me a little pink ticket and I squeeze into third place, a certain book will have someone continuously giving it pink tickets within a fixed few minutes of that day, smoothly surpassing me and squeezing into third place with exactly 2 more votes. It's currently during the double pink period, where one vote counts as two. What is going on here? I believe old readers who understand the female frequency know what's up. Of course, I don't dare say those pink tickets are all [something], after all nothing is absolute. But if you're good at observing carefully, you can always find something. This kind of thing isn't rare in the female frequency, but it really makes me want to vomit blood. The cat types slowly, and during the National Day period there are various activities, I have to rack my brains every day to ask for pink tickets and write more updates, but seeing this situation really makes me lose motivation. Originally I didn't want to mention this problem, but if I don't say it, I'll feel stifled in my heart, all sorts of annoyances, all sorts of powerlessness. In the end, it's still that sentence: asking for pink tickets, asking for subscriptions, give the cat some motivation~~~~
