Translator: 549690339

In the Bao family’s mansion in shenxi.

“””Sis Wu, this rich man is crazy. Don’t you think there’s something wrong with him?”” Cui Lizhu stood outside the door and asked,””he’s already in his 50s, and he’s not even married. Is there a problem with his s.e.xual orientation?”” ”

“””Don’t talk nonsense, okay …”” ”

Wu Xiumin looked around the living room. Bao Yucheng was taking his a.s.sistant to the safe to retrieve the painting.

“Because the vault was private property, Miao Ying and the others could not follow them, so they could only wait in the living room. ”

“At that moment, Miao Ying was carefully observing Bao Yucheng’s living room, as if she was thinking about something. ”

“””He said it himself,”” cui Lizhu said.””Zhang Qile died in the same way as the victim in the red bathtub, so the painting that she drew before she died was worth more than ten or twenty million! ”

“””If this is widely publicized and then put up for auction, wouldn’t the price be sky-high?”” ”

“””The point is …”” Wu Xiumin asked.””If that’s the case, why didn’t Bao Yucheng confess?”” Xiao Cui, we’ve checked Bao Yucheng’s financial status. Even 100 million or 200 million is nothing to him, let alone 10 or 20 million! ”

“””I don’t think he’d kill someone just to earn some money!”” ”

“””Oh … That’s true, but …”” Cui Lizhu frowned.””This person is so neurotic, I always feel like he has a ghost in his heart! ”

“””Say, why don’t we apply for a search warrant and investigate him?”” ”

“””It’s not time yet,”” Wu Xiumin said, shaking her head.””We haven’t checked his alibi yet, so we can’t apply for a search warrant so blindly. ”

“””Besides,”” Wu Xiumin said,””from the call records, Bao Yucheng and Zhang Qile haven’t been in contact for a long time …”” ”

“While they were talking, there was movement in the living room. ”

“””Oh, I’m sorry, I’m sorry …”” Bao Yucheng walked out of the vault, looking ashamed. He explained,””I actually forgot that Ms. Zhang Qile’s painting was not in the vault. It might … Might be in the garage …”” ”

“After that, he strode out and pa.s.sed by cui Lizhu and Wu Xiumin. ”

“””It can’t be?”” Cui Lizhu pouted and said,””you put it in the garage? You said before that those paintings could be worth tens of millions …”” ”

“””Oh, yes.”” Bao Yucheng wiped his sweat and said,””I forgot. Art pieces worth tens of millions should have been kept in the vault, but I’ve forgotten about these paintings … ”

“””But don’t worry, the garage is locked. The painting is definitely there. Wait a moment, wait a moment …”” ”

“””I think …”” Miao Ying walked out of the living room and said,””we should go with you! You have too many pieces of art, we can help you look for them. Don’t waste your precious time!”” ”

“””Oh, sure, sure …”” Bao Yucheng nodded and gestured to the garage. ”

“””Um … There’s something that I haven’t had time to tell you in detail …”” Bao Yucheng said to Miao Ying as they walked to the garage.””I think you’ll find out later that the Bao family has some connections with the red bathtub case.”” ”

“””That’s why I was so interested in miss Zhang Qile’s painting!”” ”

“””What?”” Miao Ying was taken aback.””Why didn’t you say so before? What’s your relations.h.i.+p with the red bathtub?”” ”

“””Forty years ago, the second victim of the red bathtub case, miss qu fali, was my grandfather’s lover,”” Bao Yucheng said.””I was only a teenager back then, and I met her once …”” ”

“””What?”” Miao Ying was even more surprised.””One of the victims of the red bathtub case is related to your family?”” ”

“””Yes,”” Bao Yucheng said.””After my grandmother pa.s.sed away, my grandfather couldn’t stand the loneliness, so he found a lover. It was miss qu fali. He wanted to remarry, but he didn’t expect her to be killed by that foreigner …”” ”

“””There’s actually … Such a relations.h.i.+p?”” Miao Ying stopped in her tracks. She seemed to have thought of something and asked,””so, you know about the second victim?”” ”

“””Of course,”” Bao Yucheng said.””Qu fali is very beautiful, and there are rumors that she’s of mixed blood. ”

“””But, her family background was really bad. She was a famous social b.u.t.terfly in Yunzhou, so … My grandfather’s proposal was opposed by the whole family … ”

“””However, my grandfather was very determined to marry her into the Bao family. For this, he turned the family upside down and almost moved out …”” ”

“””It was at that time that something happened to qu fali. Otherwise, she would have been my step-grandmother!”” ”

“””Oh …”” Miao Ying narrowed her eyes and said,””so, you bought that painting …”” ”

“””Hmm …”” Bao Yucheng gulped and hesitated at the garage door for a few seconds. He then smiled and said,””actually … It’s been forty years. It’s nothing much now that I’ve told you … ”

“””Have you watched the movie ‘legend of Sicily’?”” Bao Yucheng said,””there are many times when I have the illusion that I’m the main character in a movie …”” ”

“””The legend of Sicily …”” Cui Lizhu bit her lip and pondered.””What does it mean? I don’t understand.”” ”

“Cui Lizhu looked at Miao Ying. Miao Ying couldn’t understand it either, so she waited for Bao Yucheng to explain. ”

“””So …”” Only Wu Xiumin had watched the movie, so she asked Bao Yucheng,””did you secretly watch qu fali?”” ”

“””Haha …”” Bao Yucheng blushed and nodded.””Qu fali is more open-minded. When she was taking a bath, she opened the window on purpose, and my room is facing my grandfather’s bathroom …”” ”

“””Oh …”” Cui Lizhu suddenly realized and asked,””does your grandfather have a bathtub in his bathroom?”” ”

“Bao Yucheng did not comment. He mumbled,””””Well, now I look more like a suspect, don’t I?”” ”

“””It seems like …”” Cui Lizhu whispered into Wu Xiumin’s ear,””there’s nothing wrong with this diamond bachelor’s s.e.xual orientation …”” ”

“””Is that so?”” Wu Xiumin laughed and said,””then, do you have a chance to marry into a rich family? Do you need me to act as a matchmaker for you?”” ”

“””Don’t mess around,”” cui Lizhu said with a smile.””I don’t like greasy uncles!”” Besides, I’m not short of money, so why don’t I find a pretty boy?”” ”

“””Mr. Bao,”” Miao Ying said seriously,””you don’t have to worry. We’ll investigate the case. If it has nothing to do with you, you don’t have to worry!”” ”

“””Thanks.”” Bao Yucheng smiled bitterly and pointed at the garage.””Come in and take a look. You’ll see the painting soon!”” ”

“With that, Bao Yucheng led everyone into the garage, which was actually a high-end warehouse behind it. ”

The warehouse was also locked with a pa.s.sword and had an alarm system.

“Soon, Bao Yucheng opened the warehouse and led everyone in. ”

“This time, cui Lizhu and the others also had an eye-opener. The warehouse was filled with art pieces, and there was almost no empty s.p.a.ce. ”

“According to Bao Yucheng himself, he would only place items that were worth more than ten million in the safe. ”

“But even so, the value of the items in the warehouse was immeasurable! ”

“To be honest, Miao Ying was the daughter of a rich man. She had seen many rich people, but this was the first time she had seen a rich man with such a huge amount of art. ”

“””Hmm … I haven’t been here in a long time … Let me think …”” Bao Yucheng recalled and pointed deep into the warehouse.””It should be somewhere further in, under a Mayan wood carving …”” ”

“As he spoke, he took the lead and walked deeper into the cave. As he walked, he said to Miao Ying, ”

“””By the way, officer, there’s one more thing that I forgot to tell you.”” He carefully looked through the many pieces of art and said,””this miss Zhang Qile, she’s … She’s …”” ”

“””That one?”” “”Which one?”” Miao Ying asked. ”

“””Ever since I bought her painting,”” Bao Yucheng said,””she has taken a fancy to me. She has expressed her goodwill to me many times. She even promised me that she would only be my mistress, even if she didn’t want to marry me …”” ”

“””Oh …”” Miao Ying pondered Bao Yucheng’s words. What he said was within her expectations. ”

“Zhang Qile was more utilitarian, so how could he not take the initiative to attack a super-rich man like Bao Yucheng? ”

Miao Ying was about to ask Bao Yucheng if he had given in.

“At that moment, Bao Yucheng pointed at a wooden carving and said,””””I found it. Look, Zhang Qile’s paintings are all here …”” ”
