Chapter 2576 (1/2)
At 2:15 p.m., there was an auction going on in Gude auction house in Shenzhen city.
Displayed on the booth is a landscape painting of the Qing Dynasty.
”750000,” said the auctioneer with a mallet, ”is there any increase? 750000 for the first time... Oh... 800000... Anything else? ”
On the auction seat, a man in a blue suit raised a sign and said, ”1 million!”
”Well, the bold gentleman bid 1 million, 1 million for the first time, 1 million for the second time,” shouted the auctioneer. ”1 million for the third time, deal!”
With the sound of the wooden mallet, the man in blue suit successfully photographed the landscape painting.
He raised his mouth, smiled slightly, and then turned his attention to the next auction.
As a result, at this time, his assistant suddenly appeared next to him and whispered a few words in his ear. The man in blue suit looked heavy, so he had to leave.
After walking out of the auction hall, under the guidance of his assistant, he went straight to the VIP lounge next to him.
In the lounge, Miao Ying, Cui Lizhu, Wu Xiumin in plain clothes and several agents from Yunzhou were all there.
”Why...” the man in blue suit sighed and said unhappily, ”can't we wait until the auction is over?”
”Mr. Bao,” said Miao Ying generously and appropriately, ”there are two more auctions with a starting price of no more than 500000. Presumably, they can't get into Mr. Bao's eyes?”
”This...” the man called Mr. Bao was slightly stunned, then smiled, sat on the sofa next to him and asked, ”excuse me, police officers, what can I do for you?
”Wow...” when he saw that Miao Ying, Cui Lizhu and Wu Xiumin were female policemen, he immediately showed a surprised expression.
”Your name is Bao Yucheng,” said Miao Ying. ”That Bao Yicheng is...”
”My cousin,” the man replied bluntly, ”he works in an airline. Why... Are you here to find me related to my cousin? Is nothing wrong with him? ”
”Mr. Bao,” Miao Ying said, ”we're here for Zhang Qile's case and want to consult you about something.”
”Oh... Zhang Qile!” Bao Yucheng said, ”great painter, what a pity...”
”We heard,” Miao Ying asked directly, ”Zhang Qile once painted a painting of a red bathtub case. You bought it, didn't you?”
”Yes,” Bao Yucheng nodded, ”for many years, for a long time, I've talked about it with relish!”
”Oh?” Miao Ying hurriedly asked, ”what are you talking about?”
”My eyes?” Bao Yucheng said, ”at that time, I saw that Miss Zhang Qile had talent.
”When I first spent 200000 to buy several of her works, these paintings have been worth tens of millions in just a few years. Why don't I talk about them with relish?”
”I want to know,” Miao Ying asked, ”is the painting of the red bathtub painted by Zhang Qile still in your hand? Can we have a look? ”
”HMM... well...” Bao Yucheng thought for a moment and said, ”the painting is in my house. You can go and see it at any time
”But... Why do I suddenly feel that you are not good?”
