Because the three million cash was already laid out on the table, which was the best evidence.

“Comrade Lin Chuan, so you mean that after you realized Liu Qing was setting up Zhang with the Century-Old Red Agate Bracelet, you thought of counter-scheming against Liu Qing, right?”

Shen Qianqian took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and began to inquire.

Lin Chuan nodded, “Yes.”

“And you suspected that Liu Qing’s Antique Scam gang was related to the factory area in the Myanmar area, implicated in money laundering for the factory area?” Shen Qianqian continued to ask.

“At first, it was just a suspicion, but my investigation revealed that she had close financial interactions with a certain overseas company, often participated in auctions, and always concluded deals at prices far above market value. I also overheard a conversation between Liu Qing and President Li inadvertently, so I confirmed their suspicion of money laundering for the factory area. Here is the related evidence,” Lin Chuan said.

Lin Chuan then took out a silver USB flash drive and placed it in front of Shen Qianqian.

“Even the evidence is ready…”

Shen Qianqian’s mouth twitched slightly, thinking to herself that Comrade Lin Chuan was really well-prepared!

“This is just the preliminary evidence; new evidence is still being collected,” Lin Chuan said with a smile.

The transaction had already been completed, and that coin should soon play its role, luring out the forces behind Liu Qing.

Director Zhou Tong of the Anti-Fraud Center, who had been listening on the side, thought for a moment and asked, “Comrade Lin, in your description, I detected something different.”

“Please, Director Zhou, speak your mind.”

“How could you be so sure that they would definitely believe that the coin was a Fengtian One Tael?” Zhou Tong posed the biggest doubt in his mind and the key point of the entire case.

He believed that Lin Chuan’s set-up of this Antique Forgery Scam, which turned the tables on them, was indeed perfect, interlinked at every turn.

But then.

Why couldn’t Master Zhang, known as the Grandmaster level figure of Anling Antiques, identify that the coin was a fake ‘Fengtian One Tael’?

If he had identified it, the entire Antique Forgery Scam would be completely exposed, becoming unsustainable.

“Ah, there’s an element of luck involved,” Lin Chuan paused, “firstly, the coin itself was a high imitation of ‘Fengtian One Tael.’ I had learned a bit about cultural relic restoration, plus Master Zhang’s failing eyesight allowed it to pass unnoticed.”

“Comrade Lin, you’ve studied cultural relic restoration?” Zhou Tong’s brows knitted halfway, quite astonished, “But to deceive a master of antiques is not easy, right?”

“Just a little bit.”

Lin Chuan smiled and explained, “I have a friend, Bai Yang, the reader who was scammed in Lincang last time. He is a genius in cultural relic restoration, studying for his master’s degree. I’ve been learning from him about cultural relic restoration knowledge, and Officer Shen knows him too.”

In all honesty, declaring himself an absolute authority on Antique Forgery might be hard for Shen Qianqian and Zhou Tong to accept for the time being, so it’s better to use Old Bai as a shield.

However, what he said was not made up.

During that period, Old Bai had indeed been in close communication with him, frequently sending some of his restoration works. Even before experiencing the ‘Antique Forgery’ profession, Lin Chuan often watched Old Bai’s videos.
