Chapter 163 - Chapter 163: Chapter 142 Who Would Believe Your Nonsense? (Subscribe please) (2/2)

Old Bai was engrossed in the world of the novel “Last Week’s Antique,” completely captivated.

Knock, knock, knock.

Suddenly, several knocks sounded from outside the Wenbai Studio.

“A job’s come,”

Old Bai raised an eyebrow as a delighted expression appeared on his face; he immediately put down his phone and walked towards the door.

But!

Upon reaching the door, the smile froze on Old Bai’s face, and his eyes widened in shock.

Standing by the door were two blue-uniformed police officers, looking at him with piercing eyes.

“Officers, is there something the matter?”

Old Bai asked in surprise.

“Hello, are you Mr. Bai Yang?” One of the officers asked politely.

“I am, what’s the matter?”

Old Bai nodded in a daze, responding.

After sizing up Old Bai, the officer explained, “Mr. Bai Yang, we are officers from the Modu police station. You are suspected of illegal tomb robbing, and we are summoning you according to the law. Please come with us.”

Old Bai felt a sudden jolt of panic, his eyes bulging, “Officers, there must be some misunderstanding. I am a master’s student specialized in cultural relic restoration, how could I possibly be involved in illegal tomb robbing?”

The officer inquired, “You did an appraisal on a bronze vessel with Taotie patterns during last night’s live stream with Ting Quan, right?”

Old Bai nodded and then quickly shook his head, “I did the appraisal last night, but it was for Ting Quan’s show effect; that was a forgery.”

“A forgery?”

The officer frowned slightly and asked further, “Where is that piece of bronze ware now?”

“I’ll get it.”

Old Bai turned and hurried to fetch the Taotie Pattern Wine Vessel, then handed it to the officer.

Both officers took out their phones and carefully compared the details on the Taotie Pattern Wine Vessel.

“Do you officers also understand appraisals?” Old Bai watched their serious expression and couldn’t help asking.

One of the officers shook his head, “We’re just checking to see if it’s the same piece from last night.”

“Well, it absolutely is the piece from last night.”

Old Bai’s mouth twitched slightly.

The two officers looked at each other, nodded, and one said, “Then it’s settled; this is what we’re looking for.”

“It’s a forgery; what do you want with it?”

Old Bai couldn’t help but ask.

The officer glanced at Old Bai and smiled, “Mr. Bai Yang, whether this bronze vessel is a forged item or not will need to be determined by more professional individuals. For now, please accompany us to assist with our investigation.”
