Chapter 2572: The Legend of the Bao Family
Chapter 2577 The Legend Of The Bao Family
Shenzhen City, the Bao family's mansion.
"Sister Wu, this rich man is crazy, don't you think there is something wrong with him?" Cui Lizhu stood outside the gate, "He is over 50, and he is not married. Is there a problem with his gender orientation?"
"Don't talk nonsense, okay..."
Wu Xiumin looked in the living room, Bao Yucheng was taking his assistant to pick up the painting from the vault.
Because the vault is a private place, Miao Ying and the others couldn't accompany them, so they could only wait in the living room.
At this moment, Miao Ying is carefully observing Bao Yucheng's living room, as if thinking about something...
"He said it himself," Cui Lizhu said, "Zhang Qile died, and he died in the same way as a red bathtub victim, so the painting she drew before she was alive is not as simple as 10,000 to 20 million!
"If you publicize it a lot and then put it on the auction, then you can't ask a sky-high price?"
"The key is..." Wu Xiumin asked back, "If this is the case, why didn't Bao Yucheng call himself? Xiao Cui, we have checked Bao Yucheng's financial situation, let alone 10 to 20 million, it is 100 to 200 million. It's nothing to him!
"I don't think he will commit murder just because he makes a little money!"
"Oh... that's true, but..." Cui Lizhu frowned, "This person is so neurotic, he always feels like he has a ghost in his heart!
"You said, why don't we apply for a search warrant and check him out?"
"Not yet," Wu Xiumin said shaking his head, "We haven't checked his alibi yet, so we can't apply for a search warrant so blindly.
"Besides," Wu Xiumin said again, "Judging from the call records, Bao Yucheng and Zhang Qile haven't been in touch for a long time..."
While talking, there was movement in the living room.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Bao Yucheng walked out of the vault with a face full of shame, and explained, "I actually forgot that Ms. Zhang Qile's painting is not in the vault, maybe... maybe it's in the garage ..."
As he spoke, he strode outside, passing by Cui Lizhu and Wu Xiumin.
"No way?" Cui Lizhu pouted,
"You put it in the garage? You said before that those paintings might be worth tens of millions..."
"Oh, yes," Bao Yucheng wiped off his sweat, and said, "I forgot that works of art worth tens of millions should have been put in the vault, but I have already forgotten about these paintings...
"However, don't worry, the garage is also locked, and the painting is definitely there. Wait a minute, wait a moment..."
"I see..." Miao Ying came out from the living room and said, "Let's go with you! You have too many artworks, we can help you find them, don't waste your precious time!"
"Oh, yes, yes..." Bao Yucheng nodded while reaching out to indicate the direction of the garage.
"Well... there is something, I've been busy just now, I haven't had time to tell you in detail..." Bao Yucheng said to Miao Ying while walking towards the garage, "I think, after that, you should find out Come out, actually... Our Bao family also has some connections with the red bathtub case back then.
"That's why I was so interested in Miss Zhang Qile's painting back then!"
"What?" Miao Ying was taken aback, "Why didn't you say that before? What's your relationship with the red bathtub?"
"40 years ago, the second victim of the Red Bathtub Case, Ms. Qu Fali, was my grandfather's lover..." Bao Yucheng said, "I was only a teenager at that time, and I met him once..."
"What?" Miao Ying was even more surprised, "One of the victims in the Red Bathtub case has something to do with your family?"
"Yes," Bao Yucheng said, "after my grandma passed away, my grandfather couldn't bear the loneliness, so he found a lover, that is Miss Qu Fali. Aliens were killed..."
"So... there is such a relationship?" Miao Ying stopped, as if thinking of something, and hurriedly asked, "So, do you know the second victim?"
"Of course," Bao Yucheng said, "Qu Fali is very beautiful, and there are rumors that she is of mixed race.
"But, her background is really not good, and she is well-known as a social butterfly in Yunzhou, so... my grandfather's proposal was opposed by the whole family...
"However, my grandfather's attitude is very firm. He insisted on marrying her into Bao's family. For this reason, he had a big fight with the family, and even almost moved out...
"And at that juncture, something happened to Qu Fali, otherwise, Qu Fali would be my step-grandmother!"
"Oh..." Miao Ying squinted her eyes, staring at Bao Yucheng and said, "So, you bought that painting..."
"Hmm..." Bao Yucheng swallowed his saliva, stood at the door of the garage and hesitated for more than ten seconds, then smiled lightly, and said, "Actually... 40 years have passed, and it's nothing if I say it... …
"Have you seen the movie "Legend of Sicily"?" Bao Yucheng said, "There are many times, I often have the illusion that I am the protagonist in the movie..."
""Legend of Sicily"..." Cui Lizhu bit her lip and pondered, "What do you mean, why can't you understand?"
Cui Lizhu looked at Miao Ying, but Miao Ying also couldn't understand, and she was still waiting for Bao Yucheng to explain.
"So..." Wu Xiumin was the only one who had watched the movie, and immediately said to Bao Yucheng, "Did you secretly watch Qu Fali?"
"Hehe..." Bao Yucheng blushed slightly, nodded and said, "Qu Fali is more open-minded. When she takes a shower, she deliberately opens the window, and my room is just facing my grandfather's bathroom..."
"Oh..." Cui Lizhu suddenly realized, and asked, "Is there a bathtub in your grandfather's bathroom?"
Bao Yucheng was noncommittal, and murmured: "Well, now, am I more like a suspect?"
"It seems..." Cui Lizhu whispered in Wu Xiumin's ear, "There is no problem with the orientation of this diamond king..."
"Really?" Wu Xiumin joked, "Then do you have a chance to marry into a wealthy family? Do you want me to lead you a line?"
"Don't make trouble," Cui Lizhu said with a smile, "I don't like greasy uncles! Besides, this lady is not short of money, why don't you find a little boy?"
"Mr. Bao," Miao Ying said seriously, "you don't have to worry, we will investigate the case, if it has nothing to do with you, you don't have to worry too much!"
"Thank you," Bao Yucheng said with a bitter smile, pointing to the garage, "Come on, come in and have a look, you will see the painting soon!"
After finishing speaking, Bao Yucheng led everyone into the garage. He said it was a garage, but it was actually a high-end warehouse behind the garage.
The warehouse is also locked with a combination lock and an alarm system is installed.
Soon, Bao Yucheng opened the warehouse and led everyone in...
This time, Cui Lizhu and the others also opened their eyes. The warehouse is full of artworks, and there is almost no free space.
According to Bao Yucheng himself, only collections worth more than 10 million yuan will he put in the real vault.
However, the value of the collection in the warehouse is immeasurable!
To be honest, Miao Ying is also the daughter of a rich man. She has seen many rich people, but it is the first time she has seen a rich man with such a huge amount of art.
"Hmm... It's been a long time since I came here... Let me think about it..." Bao Yucheng recalled, pointing to the depths of the warehouse and said, "It should be placed in a relatively inner place, under a Mayan wood carving... "
As he spoke, he took the lead in walking towards the depths. While walking, he said to Miao Ying:
"By the way, police officer, there is one more thing, I forgot to tell you." He carefully searched through many artworks, and said, "Ms. Zhang Qile, compare...compare that... "
"That?" Miao Ying asked, "Which one?"
"Ever since I bought her painting," Bao Yucheng said, "she has taken a fancy to me, and has shown her affection to me many times, and even piously promised that even if she doesn't marry, she will just be a lover ..."
"Oh..." Miao Ying thought about what Bao Yucheng meant, and what he said was within Miao Ying's expectation.
Zhang Qile is more utilitarian. How could he not take the initiative to attack when he met a super rich man like Bao Yucheng?
Next, Miao Yinggang wanted to ask Bao Yucheng if he followed in the end?
But at this moment, Bao Yucheng pointed to a wooden carving and said, "I found it. Look, Zhang Qile's paintings are all here..."
