Is it normal to live on the phone to help your boyfriend investigate the case?

The studio is indeed not far away, it is nearby, but because the factory itself is too big, and there is a large warehouse in the middle, the three of them walked for a long time to get there.

Qu Mingcong was taken into a white building. The studio was on the first floor. It was a large room with many tables and chairs. There was almost an old man sitting behind each table, and the old men held all kinds of books in their hands. Such tools are carefully carving the objects on the table.

The environment is very quiet, even if someone talks occasionally, the sound is not too loud.

Xiao Chu waved to one of them: "Master Qi!"

The other party raised his head, revealing a youthful face—appeared to be in his thirties, and looked extraordinarily young in a room full of [-]-year-olds.

Qu Mingcong and Mei Chao looked at each other, knowing that this person was probably the key person in this investigation.

However, the other party did not seem to welcome the arrival of the two of them.

Xiao Chu walked over and said, "Master Qi, the investigators are here. We went to the factory to look for you just now, but we didn't expect you to have returned to the studio."

The man called Master Qi nodded, with no expression on his face, he raised his finger to an empty corner of the studio, signaling to go there for a chat.

Xiao Chu put the two empty tables together, and actively moved some chairs for them, and said to Qu Mingcong and Mei Chao: "You chat first, I'll pour you two glasses of water."

Master Qi glanced at Xiao Chu's back, turned his gaze back to Qu Mingcong and Mei Chao, and said calmly, "There's still work to do in a while, if you have any questions, please hurry up and ask."

Mei Chao was completely unaffected, ignoring the other party's indifference, and asked a series of questions with a smile: "What's your name? How many years have you been working here? What kind of work are you usually responsible for? Are you familiar with Miss Ding Na?"

"..." The other party was silent for a few seconds before replying, "My name is Qi He. I came here three years ago. I am in charge of the high-quality blue and white reproductions. Ding Na is interested in blue and white. Every time she comes to the studio, I am in charge. take her."

"Boss Nading must trust you very much, otherwise he would not have entrusted his daughter to you." Mei Chao complimented.

Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, Qi He's expression softened a little, and said, "Ding Na is a very talented child, and all the masters here like her. Even if Boss Ding doesn't say anything, everyone will take care of her."

Qu Mingcong glanced around and asked, "Where does Ding Na sit every time she comes?"

"It's not fixed, just sit wherever there is space." Qi He replied, "If there is something on the table, it means that other masters are using it, so find a space for yourself."

"What if all the seats are full?" Mei Chao asked curiously, "Ding Na has a separate studio in the museum, why does she leave her separate studio unused and insist on running here?"

"Upstairs, next to the financial office." After a pause, Qi He continued, "After Ding Na's accident, all the things she left here are temporarily stored in that room."

Mei Chao regained his energy immediately, "Can you take us upstairs to have a look?"

Qi He showed hesitation, "...how long will you guys watch it? I have something to do later."

"10 minutes." Qu Mingcong said, "It won't take you too long."

"Okay." Qi He frowned slightly and nodded, "I'll take you up there to have a look."

He turned around and went out, Qu Mingcong and Mei Chao followed immediately, just after he walked out of the studio door, he heard several old masters talking in a low voice:
"Why are you here to investigate again? This is the first batch, endless..."

"Yeah, I don't know what the boss thinks. It's been more than a year and I still have to check it. It's really annoying!"

Mei Chao showed embarrassment.

Qi He in front seemed not to hear, and continued walking in silence.

Qu Mingcong probably understood why Qi He didn't welcome them, apparently he was disturbed by the investigators a few times and was annoyed.

After thinking about it, since the people who participated in the activities before have also been here, it is estimated that it will be difficult to gain anything today.

……

Qi He took them to the second floor. The floor was not high, so they went straight up the stairs. Qu Mingcong looked up, and there were cameras everywhere.

The security system in this place is more thorough than that in the museum.

Ding Na's personal work room is very far back, Qi He asked them to wait at the door, and went to the financial room next door to get the key. After a few seconds, Qu Mingcong and Mei Chao heard a burst of surprise from the financial room: "What? Someone came to investigate? Why is there no end..."

Qu Mingcong and Mei Chao: "..."

Qi He came out with the key in hand. Seeing Qu Mingcong and Mei Chao's unnatural expressions, he knew that they had heard the financial lady's complaint. He thought for a while and explained: "Actually, I have always disapproved of the boss holding this investigation reward activity. But the boss is too stubborn and doesn’t listen to advice at all.”

"Why don't you agree?" Qu Mingcong asked, "Don't you want to find out the cause of Ding Na's death?"

"Because there is nothing to investigate." Qi He came over, lowered his head and opened the lock, "The police have already investigated, it was an accidental fall, and we all agree with this result."

"Maybe it was suicide," Mei Chao couldn't help but said, "We came to Lailan County just to find out the cause of the suicide."

Qi He unlocked the lock, pushed the door open, and replied calmly: "Impossible, Ding Na is not the kind of character who would commit suicide, I understand her."

"Then have you considered the possibility of murder?" Qu Mingcong asked.

Qi He couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and looked back at him, "How is it possible? She died in a museum, not in a street, where did the gangsters come from? Unless you also listen to the rumors that Boss Ding forced her to death."

He felt that Qu Mingcong and Mei Chao were two half-baked fools, and they didn't have the ability to investigate at all. He shook his head, walked into Ding Na's studio——

It was dark inside.

Taking advantage of the light outside the door, Qi He walked to the window, opened the curtains, and let the bright light shine in.

Mei Chao couldn't help narrowing her eyes, "It's finally lit... the room was so dark just now, it was so dark that the sky couldn't be seen, why did you draw the curtains so tightly?"

"If some materials are exposed to the sun for too long, there will be problems." Qi He patted the dust on his hands, "Because no one is using this room for the time being, so I closed all the curtains."

Qu Mingcong thought for a while, "I was downstairs just now, and I didn't seem to see you pulling the curtains."

"There are too many people downstairs, so it will be too stuffy if you pull them all up, and the light will not be enough." Qi He explained lightly, "And the masters are very aware of when they work, when to sunbathe and when to avoid light, there are all kinds of things. experience."

Mei Chao was not interested in whether the curtains were closed or not. At this moment, he looked at the piles of porcelain in front of him, his heart was shaken, and he murmured in surprise: "There are so many... all of them are made by Ding Na, right? "

"Well," the corners of Qi He's mouth curled up slightly, with an indistinct smile, as if he was honored, "I said, that kid is very talented, and he is willing to sink his heart into studying these things."

Qu Mingcong walked to a porcelain vase, frowned, and said doubtfully, "I seem to have seen it in a museum..."

"The one you saw should be a piece of Yuan blue and white?" Qi He reached out and picked up the porcelain bottle in front of him, weighed it in his hand, and handed it to Qu Mingcong with a smile, "This is an imitation made by Ding Na. Saying that they are exactly the same, they are about [-]% similar.”

Qu Mingcong's hands sank, and he caught the porcelain vase. The surface was oily to the touch and mottled. If he hadn't known in advance that Ding Na made it, he would have believed that the vase had just been dug out of the soil.

"To do this, you need to settle down and be clever." Talking about this, Qi He became talkative, pointing to the small details on the porcelain vase and said to Qu Mingcong, "If you want to imitate ancient porcelain, you must first imitate it, and second, you must do it. Old, and this imitation includes imitation of ornamentation, imitation of vessel shape, imitation of glaze color, imitation of earthen soil, imitation of weight, if any one is wrong, it cannot be regarded as a successful imitation.”
