Chapter 183: Chapter 152: Luring the Snake out of Its Hole, Did I End Up Luring Myself? (Please Subscribe)

About more than half a month ago,

the Modu police in collaboration with the Cultural Relics Bureau, cracked an antique forgery fraud case and, following the leads, uncovered multiple related cases of antique forgery fraud, all pointing to a single source.

After half a month of tracking, the police finally located a large underground workshop for antique forgery.

However,

the current progress had only gone as far as shutting down the underground workshop, with the actual controller of the Antique Forgery Gang still at large.

If the “Qing dynasty Chinese tangled branch pattern thin-walled jade vase replacement case” and the “Antique Forgery Gang” are connected, and they share the same puppet master behind the scenes, then the whole case begins to become clear.

Yes, to be able to forge a thin-walled jade vase so realistically, and to successfully swap it with the real thing, fooling almost everyone—this is not something one person could achieve on their own.

Not to mention the difficulty of carving a thin-walled jade vase, there’s the crucial step of the swap that had to bypass layers of surveillance.

Behind this, there must be a gang operating.

As for Lin Chuan and Youyou’s mishap in damaging the thin-walled jade vase after the power outage, it was probably, as Lin Chuan speculated, part of their calculated plan.

Then, Lin Chuan and Youyou are actually victims too.

Directors Zhao Gang and Li Zeguang, both experienced and shrewd, quickly came to this realization.

At the same time,

they also couldn’t help but take an extra look at Lin Chuan.

They reached these conclusions so quickly because they had decades of hard-earned experience, built up step by step.

But what about Lin Chuan?

At the young age of twenty-four, he is said to be a web novel writer by trade.

Could writing web novels bring experience, or is it that he was born with such a mindset?

Right!

He has connections to Elder Zhong from the Han River Province Police Department!

Zhao Gang became interested and wanted to hear Lin Chuan’s thoughts on the case.

So, he looked at Lin Chuan and asked, “Comrade Lin, you are a party to this case, if it were up to you to investigate, how would you go about it?”

Lin Chuan was somewhat surprised, facing the experienced police station chief, he smiled and said, “In this matter, Director Zhao is the expert.”

This wasn’t modesty or flattery; it was the truth.

Zhao Gang turned modest himself and laughed heartily, “Perhaps in handling murder cases and the like, I might have some say, but when it comes to antique forgery, I can’t even tell the difference between real and fake antiques.”

“Isn’t there Director Li?” Lin Chuan smiled.

Hearing this, Li Zeguang next to him waved his hands repeatedly, “I’m ashamed to say, if it weren’t for Comrade Lin’s insight, I wouldn’t have recognized that this thin-walled jade vase was a forgery even now.”

“Comrade Lin, please share your thoughts, it’s no trouble; we’re all colleagues here,” Zhao Gang insisted, smoothly steering the topic back to Lin Chuan.

The two directors gave off a vibe of playing off each other.
