I am a super cop

Chapter 86 The master is wandering, the clown is in the palace
"What are you collecting these for?" Officer Wang was also a little funny when he saw Gu Chen's operations.

If you want to collect evidence in a case, it must be reliable evidence.

But Gu Chen is interested in bird droppings, which is hard to understand.

Or, does Gu Chen have a certain hobby?

For example, I like to play with cacti, and I play with myself when I have nothing to do.

So when Gu Chen is free, does he still have to play shit?

"I think you have to bring something home." Gu Chen couldn't explain clearly now, but he just felt that something was wrong.

Police officer Wang held a small meeting last time and asked Gu Chen to report to him in time if he found anything new.

But it is useless to report something that is not sure.

Accompanied by Gao Shan, the three left Tangjia Alley, and then rushed to the next investigation site.

In the car, Officer Wang, who was sitting in the back seat, made a phone call. After communicating with the other party for a few words, he hung up the phone, and then communicated with Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei.

"I called an informant just now, we can go to him and have a look first."

"Senior Brother Wang, what does this person do?" Gu Chen, who was driving, was a little curious and couldn't help asking.

"Sell some calligraphy and paintings." Officer Wang recalled briefly for a few seconds, and said: "I robbed tombs in the early years, and I have been doing some work after I was released from prison, but I am a senior in the calligraphy, painting and antique business. Let's go to him and ask him. , maybe there will be some gains."

Lu Weiwei leaned over and asked curiously: "You say this Aguda, are his calligraphy and paintings really so valuable? It's actually worth 200 million."

"The clown is in the palace, and the master is wandering." Gu Chen pointed out: "In fact, if it is placed in the auction house, it is estimated that it will fetch more than 300 million."

"Really?" Lu Weiwei's eyes lit up when she heard 300 million, "This should be enough for me to eat all the food courts in the country, right?"

"Just your appetite?" Police Officer Wang looked at her and quickly shook his head: "I guess Xuan."

Lu Weiwei rolled up her sleeves and slammed Officer Wang fiercely, and the two started fighting in the back seat.

"Don't make trouble, let's handle the case." Police Officer Wang also hurriedly dissuaded him.

Lu Weiwei's operation made her have no prestige at all in front of the trainee police.

Gu Chen drove the car and also shared what he learned.

"Actually, this Aguda became famous very early and is also very mysterious. It seems that he has not appeared in the public eye for a long time."

"If it wasn't for the report this time, I guess Junior Brother Gu wouldn't be able to see him, right?" Lu Weiwei asked suddenly.

Gu Chen said: "When I was in elementary school, I saw Aguda's work at an art exhibition, but I heard nothing about it. I even thought that Aguda gave up painting. After all, the life of an artist is very difficult."

"It's difficult, right?" Police Officer Wang immediately disagreed, saying, "He can sell two or three million yuan for a single painting, which is enough for Lu Weiwei to eat up the food court."

"No." Gu Chen shook his head and explained: "A Guda's paintings have always been used for his own collection, or donated to welfare organizations in the form of charity sales."

"So great?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei had some new views on this Aguda.

Officer Wang also couldn't help but said: "If you want me to say, the master is really wandering, and the clown is in the palace. In the past two years in the calligraphy and painting circles of Jiangnan City, I admire the old man who uses the ink in the needle tube the most. I will never erase that sentence. well."

"Pfft!" Lu Weiwei couldn't help laughing and said, "Do you still remember?"

"I've been on the hot searches in Jiangnan City, don't you know?" Officer Wang also told the truth.

Mainly the old man who uses a needle to draw ink. This wave of operations is so good that it is very popular on all major platforms.

According to Officer Wang's address prompt, Gu Chen drove to a painting and calligraphy gallery by the river. After parking the car, the three of them walked into the store together.

"Officer Wang, long time no see." A dark-skinned middle-aged man warmly stepped forward to greet him.

Police Officer Wang ignored him, walked into the shop and looked around, and after confirming that there were no other customers, he asked, "Heizi, have any calligraphy and painting works circulated on the black market in the past week?"

The black market that Police Officer Wang mentioned is just a name in the industry.

The circulation and trading of calligraphy, painting and antique collections will require some brokers to match buyers and sellers.

The commodity transactions between them are mostly private transactions, commodities that are bought and sold secretly, some are private collections, and some are stolen items.

The price of transactions on the black market often fluctuates greatly, also known as the black market price.

"Yes, of course, every day." The man named Heizi smiled and said, "But I just don't know what you, Officer Wang, are referring to?"

"Have you heard of Aguda's works?" Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and handed over the works in the photo.

Heizi frowned, and after thinking carefully for a few seconds, he finally said: "A Guda knows about it, but his paintings are rarely sold out, and there are very few circulations between buyers and collectors, probably none. .”

"Are you sure?" Lu Weiwei frowned slightly and said, "This painting is expensive, probably between 200 million and 300 million."

Heizi was also taken aback when he heard the price: "So high? Then I have to ask my little brother over there. Wait a minute."

Heizi took out his mobile phone and dialed several numbers in a row. After 15 minutes of rambling, he finally replied: "Men, police officers, the thing you are talking about has never appeared on the market recently."

"Impossible." Police Officer Wang looked at a painting on the wall with his hands behind his back and said, "You must have missed something, and then help me check carefully."

Heizi also hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Officer Wang, how about this, I'll ask the little brothers under my command to ask. If there is any clue, I will tell you as soon as possible. Can you see it?"

Officer Wang looked at Gu Chen and asked, "What do you think?"

"Since the boss is an insider, he must have his own channel, I think it's okay." Gu Chen did not object to this kind of operation.

For the investigation of antique calligraphy and painting, the shop owner is professional, and the information he gets must be much better than doing the investigation himself.

It is also very reasonable for professionals to do professional things.

Officer Wang agreed: "That's fine, you can reply to me before six o'clock this afternoon."

"Okay, I will reply to you if there is anything." The shop owner is quite polite and cooperative.

After leaving the store, Gu Chen drove to Jiangnan City Auction House, which is currently the only formal auction house in Jiangnan City.

Although there are also some small private auction houses around, as long as there are items that have been auctioned recently, they can be investigated in this area.

Officer Wang went directly to the manager of the auction house, a man in his 40s with glasses who liked to wear formal clothes.

However, the results obtained are still very disappointing. Aguda's paintings never appeared.

"What should we do? Could it be that our investigation direction is wrong?" Lu Weiwei also looked disappointed: "Perhaps this thief will temporarily avoid the limelight, and he will sell the stolen goods after the limelight passes."

"What you said makes sense." Police Officer Wang frowned, folded his hands on his waist and said, "If this is the case, then the processing of the case may be delayed for a long time."

Then he looked at Gu Chen, who was lost in thought, and asked, "Gu Chen, what are you thinking?"

"I'm wondering if I should go to the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau and ask Forensic Doctor Liu to help identify the items brought out of Gao Shan's house."

Officer Wang was shocked at the time: "You want to take a pile of bird feces for medical examiner Liu to identify?"
