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

Chapter 153: Lure the snake out of its hole, and lure myself out? (Subscribe)
About half a month ago.

The Shanghai police, in conjunction with the Cultural Relics Bureau, cracked an antique counterfeiting fraud case. Following the clues, they discovered several more antique counterfeiting fraud cases, and all the clues pointed to one place.

After half a month of tracking, the police finally tracked down a large underground antique counterfeiting workshop.

but.

The current progress has only sealed off the underground workshop, but the actual controller of this antique counterfeiting gang has not been arrested.

If the "Qing Dynasty Chinese Entwined Branch Pattern Thin-Bodied Jade Bottle Replacement Case" is linked to the "antique counterfeiting gang", and the same manipulator is behind them, then the whole case will begin to become clear.

Yes, it is difficult for a single person to imitate a thin jade bottle so realistically and successfully replace it with the real thing, almost fooling everyone.

Not to mention the difficulty of carving thin-bodied jade bottles, the key link of replacing the jade bottles requires avoiding numerous surveillance cameras.

There must be a gang behind this.

As for Lin Chuan and Youyou accidentally dropping and damaging the thin jade bottle after the power outage, it should be part of their plan, just as Lin Chuan guessed.

Then, Lin Chuan and Youyou are actually also victims.

Directors Zhao Gang and Li Zeguang are both experienced people and they quickly thought of this aspect.

Simultaneously.

They couldn't help but look at Lin Chuan a few more times.

The reason they can think of these things so quickly is that they have been working hard for decades, honing their experience step by step.

But what about Lin Chuan?

He is only 24 years old and is said to be an online writer.

Can he gain experience by writing online articles, or is he born with this kind of thinking?

correct!

He is related to Mr. Zhong from the Han River Provincial Police Department!

Zhao Gang was a little interested and wanted to hear Lin Chuan's thoughts on the case.

So, he looked at Lin Chuan and asked, "Comrade Xiao Lin, you are the party involved in this case. If I let you investigate, how would you investigate?"

Lin Chuan was a little surprised. Facing this experienced police chief, he smiled and said, "Director Zhao is an expert in this area."

This is not modesty or flattery, it is the truth.

Zhao Gang became modest instead, laughing: "Maybe I can say something about investigating murder cases, but I can't even tell the difference between real and fake antiques."

"Don't we have Director Li here?" Lin Chuan said with a smile.

Li Zeguang, who was standing by, waved his hands and said, "I am ashamed. If Comrade Xiaolin had pointed it out, I would still not have been able to tell that this thin jade bottle was fake."

"Comrade Xiaolin, you can just express your opinion. It won't cause any trouble. We are all one of us here."

Police Chief Zhao Gang took advantage of the situation and brought the topic back to Lin Chuan.

It seems that these two directors are singing the same tune.

In the conference room.

Everyone saw the two directors' attitude towards Lin Chuan and was shocked.

At first, they just wanted to go through the process.

But now?

The two of them looked like they were holding Lin Chuan and didn't want him to leave. They also changed their address from "Lin Chuan!" to "Comrade Lin Chuan" and then to "Comrade Xiao Lin". The contrast was too strong.

Even Youyou, who was sitting obediently beside her, couldn't help but feel a little proud.

This is my treasure author!

At this time, a police officer poured tea for Lin Chuan and Youyou.

Lin Chuan took a sip, thought for a moment, and then said:

"My opinion is to block the news here first, secretly investigate the case of cultural relic replacement, and then issue a notice that a jade restorer is urgently needed to repair this thin jade bottle, and at the same time declare that this jade bottle will continue to be exhibited in the museum in the future!"

"Repair the jade artifacts and continue the exhibition..."

Police Chief Zhao Gang murmured, and then his eyes lit up, "This is a great idea!"

The reason why the antique counterfeiting gang created the accident is most likely that they do not want this imitation to continue to appear.

Then, continuing the exhibition was undoubtedly a move they had not expected.

In addition, repairing jade artifacts will undoubtedly put antique counterfeiting gangs in trouble.

Because jade needs to be tested in order to be repaired, if the jade restorer accidentally finds some clues of counterfeiting, the counterfeiting gang will face the risk of being exposed.

Therefore, antique counterfeiting gangs are likely to compete for the position of jade restorer.

This is called luring the snake out of its hole.

As for the "Replacement Case of the Chinese Thin-Bodied Jade Bottle with Entwined Branches Pattern from the Qing Dynasty", there are not many people who have the opportunity to exchange a fake bottle for a real one, so the time will come for screening.

Of course, this is an idealized case handling process.

It is undeniable that the idea provided by Lin Chuan did indeed make Zhao Gang and everyone present see the light of day.

Well, Youyou’s eyes didn’t light up.

Because she didn't understand.

"Old Li, what do you think?"

Zhao Gang picked up the thermos cup, took a sip of tea, and asked.

Li Zeguang smiled and said, "I'm not good at investigating cases, but I think Comrade Xiaolin's method is great!"

Zhao Gang laughed and made the decision: "Let's do it according to Comrade Xiao Lin's method."

The Magic City Police Department is very efficient.

Soon.

The announcements of 'recruiting jade restorers' and 'the Qing Dynasty Chinese thin-bodied jade bottle with twined branches pattern will continue to be exhibited after restoration' have already been drafted.

Once released, it quickly spread in the antique circle of Shanghai and became a hot search on major platforms!
Since yesterday afternoon, after the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Thin-Bodied Jade Bottle with Entwined Branches Pattern' was 'accidentally' damaged, the incident has continued to ferment online, sparking widespread heated discussion.

Up to now, there are five or six hot searches about this matter on the list.

>National treasures were accidentally destroyed! (hot)
>Cannot be restored, the Qing Dynasty Chinese vine-patterned thin jade vase was destroyed! (hot)
>Shanghai Overseas Cultural Relics Handover Ceremony (hot)

>Security issues at the Magic City Museum (new)
> Temporary Electrician at Shanghai Museum (New)
> Lin's antiques from last week (new)
……

It was still noon at this time.

The sun shines brightly on this bustling city. The air is filled with a faint floral scent mixed with a hint of car exhaust, which is a bit pungent.

Lin Chuan and You You left the police station and walked into a crab roe noodle restaurant called "Xie Jia Da Yuan", ordered their food, and sat in a corner.

After coming out of the conference room, Youyou returned to the same state she was when we first met.

She didn't dress up today. She was just wearing a simple white T-shirt and sky blue tight jeans. But her pretty face was still as charming and attractive as ever.

"Lin Chuan, you look so handsome today!"

A bright smile appeared on Youyou's face.

Lin Chuan stirred the crab roe noodles in the bowl, looked up at Youyou, and said with a smile: "Don't praise me, I will be proud."

"Especially when you look at the light and shadow of that bottle, his profile is so handsome."

Youyou pursed her lips with a smile on her face.

"Then you have to treat me to dinner tonight." Lin Chuan laughed.

"of course."

Youyou raised her willow-shaped eyebrows with a little pride on her face. Then she stirred the crab roe noodles a few times and started eating.

After a while.

Youyou's cell phone rang.

Information source: Mingyue.

Message: Youyou, take a look at the current hot searches!
Youyou had just taken two bites of noodles when she saw Mingyue’s message. She immediately opened the Kuaishou app to check the trending search list.

Upon seeing this, Youyou was stunned.

She looked at Lin Chuan who was still eating noodles, curled her lips, and said in a low voice: "By the way, there are a lot of hot searches today."

"What hot search?"

Lin Chuan asked while eating crab roe noodles.

"It's the hot search about our accidental damage to cultural relics." Youyou pursed her lips and said.

"That's okay. I saw this trending search last night. Once the case is solved and the truth comes out, we will be cleared of our grievances." Lin Chuan was not affected by this and continued to eat noodles with a great appetite.

"And there are those who denounce you."

"It's just a small problem. People who don't know the truth are venting their anger and scolding me. I will just pretend I didn't see it."

"You have such a good attitude."

"Of course, anything else?"

"Nothing much. Hey, a group of people have jointly proposed to boycott your novel."

"What!?"

Lin Chuan's right hand holding the chopsticks froze, and his brows knitted tightly, "Someone wants to boycott my novel?"

"Correct."

Youyou pursed her lips and nodded, then sat next to Lin Chuan, put the phone in front of Lin Chuan, and clicked on the hot search list.

Lin Chuan immediately paid attention to one of the hot searches.

——Lin’s antiques from last week
Lin Chuan clicked on it.

Lin Chuan was confronted with an overwhelming amount of comments.

[I saw the photo of him being taken into the police car. He is the author of the online article, Lin! ]

[I found his novel, last week's antique! ]

[He is actually an online novelist who writes about antiques, and he is so careless in treating national treasures! ]

[If you don’t understand, just ask, if it’s dark in a museum, will you fall down and knock over a national treasure? ]

[National treasure-level cultural relics, how big a loss is this? 】

[Even if he wrote a hundred novels, he couldn't make up for this loss! ]

[The more I read, the angrier I get. A national treasure has ended up in the hands of such a careless online writer! ]

[Thanks for the invitation! I am also an online writer. Please don’t take your anger out on the online writer community. I’m really unfamiliar with them.]

[Boycott! I will report it now! ]

[Lin, you finally went in! ] [……]

After Lin Chuan finished reading, the corners of his mouth twitched and he muttered, "You can denounce me, but don't boycott my novel! I may be wrong, but the novel is not wrong!"

woo-

"Last Week's Antiques" requires a popularity score of 20,000 (average subscriptions) to unlock the next experience career.

If you boycott my novel now, it will take forever!

No!

I have to think of a way to solve this case and clear my name!
Otherwise, how could I possibly achieve an average subscription of 20,000 when the entire network is boycotting my novel?

"It seems that we can't prove this now." Youyou pursed her lips and said in relief, "But there is a saying that goes, if my heart is clear, I will have nothing else to ask for. Once the case is solved, we will all be cleared!"

"Our novel shouldn't be banned, right?"

Lin Chuan became interested in novels.

Youyou hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't think so."

Lin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued eating his noodles: "This incident is really worrying."

At this time.

He summoned the system panel in his mind.

【Work: "Last Week's Antiques."】

【Status: Available now. 】

【Current popularity value (average subscription): 5287/20000. 】

“Last Week’s Antiques” was published on June 6th.

Now it is June 6th, relying on the traffic brought by anti-fraud, it quickly pushed to nearly 14 average in the first three days, but today it encountered resistance and the average subscription growth rate was extremely slow.

The growth rate directly changed from "high-speed train" to "green train".

No, it’s not even a green train, it’s just a two-pedal bicycle.

Ugh...

Lin Chuan sighed lightly and continued to eat the crab roe noodles. After he was full, he tried to find out if there was any clue or if anyone wanted to repair the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Thin-Bodied Jade Bottle with Entwined Branches Pattern'.

this moment.

Lin Chuan wants to solve this case even more than his fellow police officers at the Magic City Police Station.

Soon.

Ring ring ring——

Youyou's phone rang again.

Caller ID: Editor-in-Chief Zhang Yixing.

"It's the editor-in-chief." Youyou had just finished her noodles and picked up the phone and said something to Lin Chuan before the call was connected.

"Youyou, are you available to answer the phone now?"

The voice of editor-in-chief Zhang Yixing was heard on the other end of the phone.

Youyou glanced at Lin Chuan beside her, then looked around, and then replied: "Yes, it's convenient. What's the matter?"

Zhang Yixing smiled and replied, "I mainly want to ask about your current situation, how much compensation you have to pay, and whether you will face prosecution and serve a prison sentence."

"How much compensation..."

Youyou hesitated for a moment, then said, "The police haven't determined the responsibility yet, so I don't know either."

Because the relevant information needs to be kept confidential, Youyou did not reveal the specific situation to the editor-in-chief Zhang Yixing.

To outsiders, she and Lin Chuan are still in a state of 'bail pending trial'.

"Like This."

Zhang Yixing paused, then asked, "Youyou, is Lin Chuan by your side?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Youyou asked.

"I have something to discuss with him, which may be related to the subsequent development of your case." Zhang Yixing said in a somewhat deep voice.

"Is it related to the subsequent development of our case?"

Youyou frowned, with a puzzled look in her eyes, "Editor-in-chief, please talk to Lin Chuan."

"it is good."

Zhang Yixing responded.

immediately.

Youyou handed the phone to Lin Chuan, and Lin Chuan said, "Editor-in-Chief Zhang."

"Brother Xiaolin, after this incident, I didn't sleep well last night. You guys are worried." Zhang Yixing's tone was a little heavy.

Lin Chuan laughed and replied, "I'm sorry to trouble Editor-in-Chief Zhang."

"That's ridiculous. If you really go in, Qihang Novel will lose a powerful general!" Zhang Yixing sighed softly, with some regret in his tone.
It can be heard that he is really thinking about Lin Chuan and Youyou.

Lin Chuan smiled and said, "There is always a way out."

"Brother Xiaolin, I feel relieved that you are so optimistic." Zhang Yixing also smiled and continued, "Brother Xiaolin, this is what happened. From last night until now, I have been consulting people in the antique circle, trying to figure out if there is any way to remedy the situation."

"So, Editor-in-Chief Zhang has found a solution?" Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile.

"It's not that I found a way, but someone is willing to help you." Editor-in-Chief Zhang Yixing replied.

"Mr. Hu?"

Lin Chuan was stunned, and recalled the scene of his meeting with him yesterday afternoon.

Before Hu Shu left the exhibition area, he did not forget to remind Lin Chuan that if Lin Chuan encountered any difficulties or needed anything, he could go to his "Gu Shi Yue" private museum to find him and get help.

He is a pretty nice person.

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Yixing nodded and confirmed, "Yes, it is Mr. Hu who loves talents. He just told me that he hopes to have a good way to help you."

"What method?" Lin Chuan asked.

"He didn't say anything, he just invited you to his private museum 'Ancient Moon' for a gathering." Zhang Yixing said calmly, "Are you free now? I'll take you there and ask Mr. Hu what the method is for you."

Lin Chuan looked at Youyou, then nodded: "Youyou and I are here in the Xie Family Courtyard."

"Okay, I'll pick you up."

Then, hang up the phone.

"Mr. Hu is willing to help you. It seems that he appreciates you very much." Youyou looked at Lin Chuan, blinked gently and smiled.

Lin Chuan smiled and said, "I had a good impression of him when we first met. Since he asked us to go, he must be confident. However, I am now also an investigator, so I must keep that part of the information confidential."

"Okay, I know." Youyou nodded.

Soon.

Zhang Yixing drove a black Mercedes-Benz S450 and appeared outside the "Xie Jia Yuan" store. Lin Chuan and Youyou got in the car and drove straight to Hu Shu's "Gu Shi Yue" private museum.

The Magic City is very big. Zhang Yixing drove Lin Chuan and Youyou through the streets between high-rise buildings, basking in the scorching sun. After nearly an hour, they arrived at their destination.

The 'Ancient Moon' private museum is located in a manor on the outer ring of the city.

Inside the manor, the trees are lush and green. The sunlight shines through the dense leaves and shines on the bluestone paths, creating mottled light and shadows.

Lin Chuan, Youyou and Zhang Yixing walked along the bluestone path and saw Hu Shu wearing a long gown waiting in front of the museum from afar.

"Mr. Hu."

Lin Chuan bowed and waved.

"Mr. Kobayashi, I finally got you here. Please come in." Hu Shu had a casual smile on his face and his voice sounded very elegant.

"Thank you for bothering me then." Lin Chuan nodded.

Then, several people followed Hu Shu's footsteps and walked into the Gu Shiyue Private Museum.

On the first floor is a spacious and bright hall.

In the middle of the hall, there is a huge sculpture with smooth lines and majestic momentum, and several valuable paintings are hung on the walls.

For example, Li Kuchan's "Five Eagles" and Wu Guanzhong's "Spring in the South of the Yangtze River".

There is also Western Impressionism, such as Claude Monet's "Water Lilies".

A few people walked through the hall, climbed up the spiral staircase and arrived at the second floor, where there were various exhibition halls, divided into areas such as porcelain, calligraphy and painting, bronze, jade, etc., with a dazzling array of items showing its prosperity.

On the third floor is Hu Shu’s private reception area.

"Please take a seat."

Hu Shu stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down.

Beside the tea table, there was a young girl in blue and white porcelain, brewing tea slowly and methodically, pouring a cup for each person with a sense of ceremony, and showing a decent and gentle smile: "Please have some tea."

Hu Shu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then looked at Lin Chuan: "Mr. Xiao Lin, how do you think of this museum?"

"Okay!" Lin Chuan said concisely and sincerely.

Hu Shu smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Xiaolin, last night, I felt very sorry for both your experience and the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Entwined Branch Pattern Thin-Bodied Jade Bottle'. You are a talent I admire, and the jade bottle is my favorite cultural relic."

As he spoke, Hu Shu sighed softly.

Lin Chuan looked ashamed.

Zhang Yixing chimed in: "Mr. Hu, this was a pure accident and it was hard to avoid."

"That's right."

Hu Shu nodded, then looked at Lin Chuan and continued, "Mr. Xiao Lin, I really admire you very much and I can't bear to see you go to jail. Fortunately, the Cultural Relics Bureau issued an announcement not long ago, requiring a professional jade restorer. I then thought of a remedy."

Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows: "Please give me some advice, Mr. Hu."

"Mr. Kobayashi, your antique counterfeiting skills are top-notch. I think it will be no problem to restore the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Thin-Bodied Jade Bottle with Entwined Branches Pattern'." Hu Shu suggested.

"This……"

Lin Chuan's mouth twitched slightly, a little hesitant.

This is the strategy I gave to the police. To lure the snake out of its hole. But you can't lure me out, right?
"Mr. Xiaolin, are you worried about the subsequent compensation issue?" Hu Shu leaned forward slightly and said earnestly, "If you are worried about this issue, I will donate a few valuable cultural relics to the Cultural Relics Bureau and the museum in your name, which should be able to compensate you."

"Mr. Hu, it's unreasonable not to accept rewards without doing anything." Lin Chuan declined.

"Mr. Xiaolin, you and I hit it off right away. If you feel you owe me something, you can help me repair the cultural relics in my museum. It's better than staying in jail, right?" Hu Shu sipped a cup of tea and continued, "This matter involves not only you, but also your..."

"Youyou is his editor." Zhang Yixing took over the conversation.

Hu Shu continued, "It also involves your editor, Miss Youyou, you might want to give it more thought."
