Chapter 183 - Chapter 183: Chapter 152: Luring the Snake out of Its Hole, Did I End Up Luring Myself? (Please Subscribe) (2/2)
Everyone watched the directors’ attitude towards Lin Chuan with surprise and admiration.
Initially, they thought to just go through the motions.
But now?
They seemed eager to engage Lin Chuan, keen to keep him involved, with their address evolving from “Lin Chuan!” to “Comrade Lin Chuan,” and then to “Comrade Lin,” the contrast couldn’t be more stark.
Even Youyou, sitting quietly to the side, couldn’t help but feel a touch of pride swell in her heart.
This is my treasure of an author!
At that moment, an officer poured tea for Lin Chuan and Youyou.
Lin Chuan took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, and then said:
“My suggestion is to first keep the news of this incident under wraps, investigate the cultural relic replacement case quietly, then issue an announcement urgently in need of jade restorers to repair this thin-walled jade vase, and declare that the vase will continue to be exhibited in the museum in the future!”
“Jade restoration, continue to exhibit…”
Police station chief Zhao Gang murmured softly, then his eyes lit up, “That’s a brilliant plan!”
The Antique Forgery Gang created an accident for a very likely reason—they did not want the counterfeit piece to appear publicly again.
Therefore, continuing to exhibit it was undoubtedly a move they would not have expected.
Furthermore, repairing the jade would definitely put the Antique Forgery Gang on the spot, as the restorer would have to inspect the vase, which could lead to the detection of forgery indicators and the risk of the gang being exposed.
So, it’s highly probable that the Antique Forgery Gang would attempt to secure the position of the jade restorer.
This was known as Luring the Snake out of its Hole.
Returning to the case of the “Qing dynasty Chinese tangled branch pattern thin-walled jade vase swap,” there were only a few who had the opportunity to exchange the fake for the real one, which would be the stage for screening potential perpetrators.
Of course, this is an idealized process of investigation.
Undoubtedly, the approach Lin Chuan offered indeed brought a fresh perspective to Zhao Gang and everyone present.
Ahem, Youyou did not have a moment of revelation.
Because she didn’t understand.
“Old Li, what do you think?”
Zhao Gang took a sip from his thermos, and asked.
Li Zeguang smiled, “I’m not savvy with case investigation, but I think Comrade Lin’s method is very sound!”
Zhao Gang laughed heartily, approvingly banging his fist on the table, “We’ll proceed with Comrade Lin’s method.”
The Modu police station was highly efficient.
It wasn’t long before,
the announcement to ‘recruit a jade restorer’ and that the ‘Qing dynasty Chinese tangled branch pattern thin-walled jade vase would continue to be exhibited after restoration’ had been drafted.
Once released, it quickly spread throughout the Modu antiques circle and even climbed to the top of the hot search lists on various platforms!
Since yesterday afternoon, after the “Qing dynasty Chinese tangled branch pattern thin-walled jade vase” was ‘accidentally’ damaged, the incident had been simmering online, sparking widespread discussion.
