I asked you to write a book, not to disclose your criminal record!

Chapter 150 is over, come to me! (Subscribe)

Dusk, approaching night.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the sky, dyeing the entire sky into a gradient oil painting, from east to west, gradually transitioning from deep blue to warm orange-red. The glass curtain walls on the top of the high-rise buildings sparkled with golden light under the reflection of the afterglow.

On the streets, neon lights were on, cars were flowing continuously, and the sound of whistles sounded from time to time. As night was about to fall, it came into Lin Chuan's ears through the car window.

Yes, Lin Chuan and Youyou were in the police car again.

However, last time I was there as an assistant investigator.

Now, he is a suspect for the crime of negligent destruction of cultural relics.

Youyou sat next to Lin Chuan, still feeling apologetic and self-blaming. Lin Chuan patted the back of her hand, motioning her to relax and tell the truth.

With Lin Chuan around, Youyou felt a little relieved and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

The police car crossed several streets, turned several corners, and finally turned into the police station.

Soon.

As a 'suspect', Lin Chuan entered the small dark room of the Magic City Police Station.

--trial room.

The interrogation room of the Magic City Police Station is exactly the same as that of the Anling Police Station, like a cold steel fortress.

The walls were painted in a monotonous gray, lifeless, the light was not bright, the clock on the wall was ticking, the sound echoed in the empty room, and a suffocating silence filled the air.

Lin Chuan sat on the interrogation chair and was not as nervous as he was when he was first pulled into the interrogation room.

After all, he is a veteran.

At this time, Lin Chuan was the only one in the interrogation room, and the police had not yet come in to start the formal interrogation.

Lin Chuan looked around and began to review the situation in his mind.

From an outsider's perspective, this was an accident.

However, as a party involved, he felt that this matter was a little strange.

First of all, it is very strange that there was a power outage and dark lights in such an important occasion!
Generally speaking, museums have dedicated power supply systems. In the Shanghai Museum, the infrastructure is very complete, including the power supply.

It is almost impossible for a sudden power outage to cause blackout.

In addition, Youyou said that she felt someone tripped her.

Most of the people present were celebrities in Shanghai. Although their qualities were not good, they had all seen big scenes. It was just a power outage and the lights were dark, but there were several screams and someone even tripped over Youyou.

Obviously, this shouldn't happen.

Lin Chuan began to suspect that this was most likely a human-planned incident.

But who planned it?
What's the purpose?
Or is it related to this fake cultural relic, 'Chinese Thin-bodied Jade Bottle with Entwined Branches Pattern from the Qing Dynasty'?

At this time, Chen Hui and another police officer walked in and sat at the interrogation table.

Chen Hui looked up at Lin Chuan and found that Lin Chuan was sitting quietly in the interrogation chair. He was not irritated by the waiting, nor did he show any panic because of the environment.

At first glance, it was clear that this was a frequent visitor to the police station.

Then, the record-taking began.

After entering the basic information such as name, age, occupation, etc., Chen Hui said:
"Lin Chuan, you entered the museum with Bai Yang and Song Youyou at 5pm today to participate in the 'Overseas Cultural Relics Handover Ceremony' and sat in row 8, seat 56. After the handover ceremony, you went to the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Entwined Branch Pattern Thin-Bodied Jade Bottle' exhibition area with Song Youyou to view the cultural relics. Is this true?"

Lin Chuan nodded and replied, "It's true."

"How did you fall down after the power went out and the lights went out in the venue?" Chen Hui looked at Lin Chuan with a burning gaze.

Lin Chuan's eyes met Chen Hui's and he said, "After the lights went out, I first heard screams coming from other exhibition areas. Then my friend tripped and called me. I instinctively wanted to reach out and grab her, and then I fell to the ground with her."

His answer was relatively cautious, and he did not say anything that was unfavorable to himself.

Although this 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Entwined Branch Pattern Thin-Bodied Jade Bottle' is fake, even if it is a replica, it must be worth a lot of money.

Apart from the part of the responsibility borne by the venue security, if it is finally determined that I and Youyou have to bear the other part, it will also be a considerable expense.

Save a little.

There is also the need to save money to buy a car, a house, and marry a wife, which are several considerable expenses.

If that doesn't work, I can only get a few more fake antiques.

Well, there's no problem selling it as a work of art.

Chen Hui looked at Lin Chuan and asked, "Do you know the value and significance of the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Entwined Branch Pattern Thin-Bodied Jade Bottle'?"

Lin Chuan nodded and said, "This artifact has extremely high artistic and historical value. It shows the exquisite thin-body craftsmanship of jade carving in the Qing Dynasty. It is an important material evidence for studying the production skills, aesthetic style and social and cultural background of the time. At the same time, it shows the unique charm and profound heritage of Chinese culture to the world and enjoys a high reputation internationally."

Lin Chuan spoke very quickly, and the police officer who was taking the statement wrote so quickly that he could hardly keep up with Lin Chuan's speaking speed.

Chen Hui looked at Lin Chuan, who was familiar with the thin jade bottles, and twitched his lips and continued:
"We have conducted a detailed investigation of the scene and have preliminarily determined that this was an accident. However, since a national treasure has been destroyed, you may face high claims from the Cultural Relics Bureau and may... face prosecution by the procuratorate for 'negligent destruction of cultural relics' and be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of up to three years or criminal detention."

Lin Chuan frowned slightly: "I want to know the reason why the power outage and the lights are dark."

In the interrogation room, Chen Hui thought for a moment and said, "According to our investigation, it was a temporary electrician's mistake that caused the power outage and the lights to go out, which led to a series of subsequent accidents. He is also the main person responsible for this accident. In addition, the security in the venue was negligent and will also bear part of the responsibility."

After hearing this, Lin Chuan was stunned.

Temporary electrician?

It’s over, the keywords for major accidents have been triggered!
When a "temporary worker" is held responsible in a case, it means that the case is definitely not simple.

The water inside is very deep.

call--

Lin Chuan took a deep breath and asked, "Are the surveillance cameras in the venue also broken?"

"Surveillance..." Chen Hui's expression was a little complicated. "The surveillance is not broken, but the power supply is cut off. It was also the fault of the temporary electrician."

"Doesn't the monitoring system have a single power supply?" Lin Chuan's face darkened and he asked again.

"Yes, so that temporary electrician is also the main person responsible for this accident." After Chen Hui finished speaking, he sighed secretly in his heart.

He also felt that this matter was too strange.

The venue lost power, and the single power supply monitoring system also lost power. He even felt that someone was deliberately sabotaging the handover ceremony and deliberately destroying the cultural relics returned from overseas.

However, these are all subjective speculations and are not supported by evidence.

Lin Chuan and You You cannot shirk responsibility for negligently damaging a national treasure - the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Thin-Bodied Jade Bottle with Entwined Branches Pattern'.

Inside the interrogation room, there was silence. The second hand of the clock ticked slowly, echoing in the cold room.

Lin Chuan cursed inwardly.

This "accident" was most likely directed at him or Youyou, or it was also possible that it was directed at the "Qing Dynasty Chinese Thin-Bodied Jade Bottle with Entwined Branches Pattern".

But now, there is no surveillance and no witnesses to prove that Youyou was tripped, and a temporary worker is also responsible. All signs indicate that this time, he may be in trouble!

There may even be nowhere to appeal.

There may be a big shot behind this case.

He and Youyou might be the target, or they might be scapegoats like that temporary worker.

Yes!

That thin jade bottle is fake. Someone wants to take this opportunity to destroy the fake bottle, openly make the "Qing Dynasty Chinese Thin Jade Bottle with Scroll Pattern" disappear, and cover up the fact of "exchanging the fake bottle for the real one"?

Fortunately, Lin Chuan was able to point out that it was a forged thin-bodied jade bottle from the Qing Dynasty.

Thinking of this.

Lin Chuan took a deep breath and said slowly: "Officer Chen, I have important clues about this case."

"Ok?"

Chen Hui looked up at Lin Chuan, frowned, and asked, "What important clue?"

The police officer who was taking the statement at the side also looked at Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "In this case, the damaged 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Entwined Branch Pattern Thin-Bodied Jade Bottle' is a fake."

Suddenly!

Chen Hui and another police comrade frowned, their pupils trembled, and a look of deep surprise appeared on their faces.

"fake?"

Chen Hui asked in a daze.

"Yes, it's fake." Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"It is a national treasure that was brought back from overseas. How could it be fake?"

Obviously, Chen Hui didn't believe this statement.

Every cultural relic brought back from overseas has been personally appraised by several antique masters in China, and has been repeatedly screened and confirmed to be authentic before the handover ceremony can be held.

As long as any one of them is a fake or a counterfeit, it will not be allowed to appear at the "Overseas Cultural Relics Return Handover Ceremony".

Neither party in the handover will allow it!
Once it is exposed, this handover ceremony will not only fail to produce positive significance, but will make everyone angry.

If this happens, it will only bring harm to both parties involved in the handover, without any benefit at all.

Lin Chuan shook his head and continued, "Officer Chen, I know this cultural relic very well. Besides, even the top antique appraisers in the country can make mistakes. When the counterfeiting technology is advanced to a certain level, it can be indistinguishable from the real thing."

Chen Hui fell into a brief moment of thought.

Lin Chuan's statement made his head a mess, as if there were thousands of tangled threads of wool intertwined and impossible to sort out.

But he suddenly remembered what Shen Qianqian said.

——He is totally worthy of your trust!

Yesterday, Chen Hui witnessed the misjudgment of the museum's chief expert Gao Qinglin and other experts, but Lin Chuan immediately revealed the counterfeiting method of the bronze ware "Taotie Patterned Urn".

Is it possible that what Lin Chuan said about the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Thin-Bodied Jade Bottle with Entwined Branches Pattern' is a fake?
Chen Hui didn't dare to draw a conclusion.

He couldn't come to a conclusion.

Therefore, after a brief thought, Chen Hui swallowed his saliva and looked at Lin Chuan: "What you said is of great importance and involves a wide range of issues. I will report it to my superiors truthfully."

"Thank you."

Lin Chuan nodded.

Afterwards, Chen Hui recorded the content and time of the interrogation in detail. After Lin Chuan confirmed that it was correct, he signed and walked out of the interrogation room.

At this time, a police comrade ran up to Chen Hui and said a few words.

After hearing this, Chen Hui looked at Lin Chuan and said, "Comrade Lin Chuan, someone in Hanjiang Province has bailed you out. You can leave the police station now, but you cannot leave the Magic City. You need to respond to our summons at any time."

Generally speaking, the police have the right to detain suspects who negligently damage national treasures to prevent them from trying to escape.

Now, a senior figure has bailed Lin Chuan out, so he can be exempted from detention, but he needs to be ready to accept summons at any time.

"Where is Youyou?" Lin Chuan asked.

"She is in the front hall, and like you, she has been released on bail." Chen Hui responded, "I will submit your interrogation record to my superiors tonight. I will notify you to come tomorrow about the specific progress of the case."
