Chapter 2575  : Chapter 2570-I want a lawyer

“At 2:15 in the afternoon, an auction was being held at the good auction house in Shenshen city. ”

On the display stand was a Qing Dynasty landscape painting.

“”” 750000,”” the auctioneer said with the mallet in his hand.””Is there anyone else who wants to raise the bid? 750 thousand going once … Oh … 800 thousand … Any more?”” ”

“On the auction seat, a man in a blue suit raised his sign and said,”””” 1 million!”” ”

“””Okay, this bold gentleman bids one million. One million going once, one million going twice,”” the auctioneer shouted.””One million going thrice, sold!”” ”

“With the sound of the mallet, the man in the blue suit successfully won the landscape painting. ”

“The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a slight smile. Then, he turned his attention to the next item. ”

“However, at this moment, his assistant suddenly appeared beside him and whispered a few words in his ear. The man in the blue suit’s face darkened, and he was forced to leave. ”

“After walking out of the auction hall, he went straight to the VIP lounge next door under the guidance of the assistant. ”

“In the lounge, Miao Ying, cui Lizhu, Wu Xiumin, and a few other police detectives from Yunzhou were all in plain clothes. ”

“””Why …”” The man in the blue suit sighed and said unhappily,””can’t you wait until the auction is over?”” ”

“””Mr. Bao,”” Miao Ying said graciously.””There are two more items that have a starting price of less than 500000 Yuan. I don’t think you’ll be interested in them, right?”” ”

“””This …”” The man called Mr. Bao was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and sat down on the sofa next to him.””Police officers, what can I do for you?”” ”

“””Wow …”” He was surprised to see that Miao Ying, cui Lizhu, and Wu Xiumin were all policewomen. ”

“””You’re Bao Yucheng,”” Miao Ying said.””Then, Bao Yicheng is …”” ”

“””My cousin,”” the man replied,””he works at an airline company. Why … Are you here to find me because of my cousin?”” Is he alright?”” ”

“””Mr. Bao,”” Miao Ying said.””We’re here for Zhang Qile’s case. We want to ask you something.”” ”

“””Oh…Zhang Qile!”” Bao Yucheng said,””great painter, what a pity …”” ”

“””We heard that,”” Miao Ying asked directly,””Zhang Qile once painted a painting of the red bathtub case, and you bought it. Is that true?”” ”

“””Yes.”” Bao Yucheng nodded.””I’ve been talking about this for many years!”” ”

“””Oh?”” “”What’s the reason for your interest?””Miao Ying asked. ”

“””My taste?”” Bao Yucheng said,””I could tell that miss Zhang Qile was talented back then. ”

“””Back then, I spent 200000 Yuan to buy a few of her paintings. In just a few years, these paintings are already worth tens of millions. Tell me, why don’t I talk about them with great relish?”” ”

“””I want to know,”” Miao Ying asked,””is the red bathtub painting by Zhang Qile still in your hands? Can we take a look?”” ”

“””Hmm … About that …”” Bao Yucheng thought for a moment and said,””the painting is at my house. You can go and see it at any time …”” ”

“””But … Why do I suddenly feel that you’re not here with good intentions?”” ”

“””Mr. Bao likes to use idioms,”” Miao Ying said.””Please don’t misunderstand. We just want to find out the truth. We hope you can cooperate with us!”” ”

“””Of course, but this case …”” Bao Yucheng asked warily,””does it have anything to do with the painting?”” This …”” ”

“””Don’t be nervous,”” Miao Ying said.””I just wanted to ask, how is your personal relationship with miss Zhang Qile?”” ”

“””Ms. Zhang … Um …”” Bao Yucheng said.””Ever since I bought her painting a few years ago, she has contacted me many times through her connections. In general, we’re pretty close!”” ”

“””We’ve had a few meals over the past few years. I’ve even been to her art exhibition and recommended her on the magazine. That’s all …”” ”

“””Then …”” Miao Ying asked again,””did you know that miss Zhang Qile and your cousin Bao Yicheng have an ambiguous relationship?”” ”

“””I know, I’ve heard a little about it. It’s probably just rumors!”” “”Yicheng has a wife,”” Bao Yucheng said.””I hope you can be merciful!”” ”

“””During this time,”” Miao Ying asked again,””did you buy any of Zhang Qile’s paintings?”” ”

“””No…”” Bao Yucheng replied with certainty.””Her subsequent paintings were too utilitarian. To be honest, I didn’t like her way of promoting herself! ”

“””When an artist only cares about how to package himself and how to promote himself, he has already lost his artistic vitality!”” ”

“””Then … Can I ask you a personal question?”” Miao Ying said,””seven years ago, Zhang Qile was just a student who had just graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts. Why did you spend so much money to buy all of her paintings?”” ”

“””Haha, a lot of people have asked me that question.”” Bao Yucheng smiled and said,””if I said that there was no reason, I’m afraid many people wouldn’t believe me. But to be honest, there really was no reason. I just like him!”” ”

“””I like it …”” Miao Ying stopped smiling and asked in a serious tone,””do you really like that red bathtub?”” ”

“””You …”” Bao Yucheng felt Miao Ying’s piercing gaze and his expression changed.””What you just said might be misleading!”” He said. ”

“Bao Yucheng’s assistant immediately asked,””””Mr. Bao, do you want to call your lawyer over?”” ”

“””No,”” Bao Yucheng said, waving his hand.””I’ve never done anything wrong. Why would I call a lawyer?”” ”

“””Police officer, you’re absolutely right. The reason why I bought Zhang Qile’s painting was because I liked this red bathtub. I think Zhang Qile’s painting is very good, and it has a strong sense of realism! ”

“””You’ll understand when you see the painting,”” Bao Yucheng said.””There’s a sense of repressed beauty in the painting. It’s the perfect interpretation of Morgan art. You can even smell blood when you see the painting …”” ”

“As he spoke, Bao Yucheng seemed to be lost in his thoughts and kept his eyes closed. ”

“””As someone from Yunzhou, I naturally know about the red bathtub case,”” Bao Yucheng said.””It’s really rare for miss Zhang Qile to draw such a realistic effect. ”

“””Moreover, from a moral standpoint, that painting definitely has room for appreciation. As long as it’s hyped up properly, it might be able to sell for a higher price in the future!”” ”

“””Hehe, now that you’ve told me the truth …”” Cui Lizhu muttered.””Now that I’ve gotten what I wanted, once Zhang Qile dies, this painting will be sold for a sky-high price, right?”” ”

“””This …”” Bao Yucheng’s eyes flew open, and his lips trembled as he said,””I … I didn’t mean that!”” I mean, no one in Yunzhou would dare to paint the bathtub red. So many people have died, it’s ominous! ”

“””Also, if the victim’s family found out about this, they would definitely protest. In that case, the painting would be quite valuable! I … I didn’t mention Zhang Qile’s death … This …”” ”

“At that moment, Bao Yucheng finally realized that he had tripped himself up. He was naturally depressed and anxious. ”

“””Mr. Bao,”” his assistant was even more anxious. He held the phone and said,””I think we should contact your lawyer as soon as possible!”” ”
