"Zhu Kai and Miss Gu?" Qin Sheng looked at Fang Zhou in surprise.
"It's not just that, I think something is off. You also know what Zhu Kai does, and earlier I saw him bring in several people with Miss Gu and another unfamiliar man into a room, it's absolutely impossible for them to be socializing as friends." Fang Zhou said in a low voice.
"Are you saying..." Qin Sheng slightly furrowed his brow and continued: "Could it be that something has happened at the auction house?"
"I don't know about this, but I won't rule out the possibility. As soon as I saw it, I came to tell you. If you're really curious, why not go ask yourself?" Fangzhou shrugged his shoulders.
Qin Sheng pondered for a moment, then stood up and walked out of the rest room. Fangzhou saw this and quickly followed him.
At this time, Gu Mengren was taken to a small conference room, where he was carefully asked about everything that had happened from last night to this morning, and repeatedly asked the same questions over and over again, as if trying to find some flaw.
At the same time, Professor Feng provided his own alibi, and someone was sent to verify the authenticity of the situation. Although she did not leave the auction house immediately after work and did not have a favorable alibi, the person in charge, Zhu Kai, still had someone investigate her situation.
She wasn't afraid of the other party's investigation, her only concern was that this matter would reach Grandpa and Mom's ears. Although Grandpa's body had recovered, the doctor also instructed that it's best not to let him receive too much stimulation, lest his condition relapse.
Facing the police's various inquiries, Gu Mei thought she had done nothing wrong, but still felt a little nervous, after all, this was her first time being questioned as a suspect by the police.
"Officer, I've said all I need to say. If there's nothing else you'd like to ask, could I have a bottle of water?" Gu Ming had already repeated his answers to the police officer's questions five times, and his throat was starting to protest.
The officer in charge of the inquiry turned his head to glance at Zhu Kai, who was quietly leaning on a chair beside him. Only after Zhu Kai nodded did he let someone hand over a bottle of water to Gu Mian.
Perhaps for fear of colluding with Gu Mei and Professor Feng, after the police had a general understanding of the situation, Professor Feng was taken to another room for questioning.
"We investigated according to your statement, and indeed two female staff members did enter the rest room for a period of time when you were in there. However, they claimed that they didn't see anyone inside. You said it was because you didn't make any noise. So I'd like to ask, why didn't you make any noise? Were you eavesdropping on their conversation?" Zhu Kai slowly walked up to Gu Mian's front.
Gu Meng took a sip of water, glanced at Zhu Kai and said frankly: "Because the things they talked about are not suitable for others to know. It's embarrassing, so I didn't speak up."
"What were they talking about? Why did you think so?" Zhu Kai asked.
Gu Mei's face showed a strange expression, as if she didn't know what to say.
"Miss Gu?" Zhu Kai's tone rose.
"It's about someone else's privacy. Do you really have to say it?" Gu Mei stared at Zhu Kai with an unhappy expression.
Zhu Kai nodded indifferently: "Miss Gu, this is also for your own good."
Gu Mei couldn't help it, and could only briefly repeat what the two female employees had said. It had already come to this point. If she still refused to speak, who knows what kind of suspicion she would be under.
However, she left a mind. And did not say that she pulled out her relationship with Du Hao. Lying down and being shot was already frustrating enough for her, she didn't want to stir up more trouble because of this matter, she remembered that the two female employees said that Du Hao would also come to the auction house today.
"I see." Zhu Kai nodded and then stopped speaking, sitting back down on one side, allowing another police officer to ask Gu Mian the sixth question.
Just as Gu Mingqiang was gathering his spirits to answer the police's questions again, someone suddenly walked in from outside the door, leaned into Zhu Kai's ear and whispered a few words, then Zhu Kai got up and left the room.
"What brings you here?" Zhu Kaiyi walked out of the room and saw Qin Sheng and Fang Zhou standing outside the door.
"Listen Fangzhou said he saw you here, so I came to take a look." Qin Sheng stretched out one hand towards Zhu Kai.
Zhu Kai stared at Qin Sheng for a moment, as if pondering the authenticity of his words: "I didn't know. It seems our relationship has reached this level."
Qin Sheng smiled slightly: "No way, our relationship has always been pretty good."
"You can really talk." Zhu Kai shook his head and said to Qin Sheng, "Forget it, we both know the situation between us. Let's just say, what brings you here at this time? Looking at your appearance, I suppose you're here for today's auction?"
Exposed of his true intention, Qin Sheng didn't get annoyed: "Indeed I have something on my mind. I heard that the auction house has some issues?"
"What does this have to do with you?" Zhu Kai asked curiously, but also didn't deny Qin Sheng's question.
The auction house staff had told them that they hoped the switching of the auction items would not be made public, and even if an investigation was to be conducted, it should be done discreetly.
Although Zhu Kai remembered this point, it did not prevent him from making such a disguised reply to Qin Sheng.
"This has nothing to do with me, but it does have something to do with a friend of mine." Qin Sheng nodded towards the conference room behind Zhu Kai: "The Miss Gu in there is a friend of mine, I just want to know what's going on, my friend doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do something like this."
Although Jiang ordered a gag order, forbidding anyone from spreading what happened this morning, it couldn't completely block the news.
At this time, the well-informed person on the auction side had already roughly known about the matter, and he also inquired that Gu Mian was unexpectedly one of the main suspects.
What kind of person is Gu Mian, Qin Sheng dare not say that he understands himself very well. However, several times after meeting Gu Mian, he has left a relatively good impression on him. He really can't believe that Gu Mian would do such a thing as switching the auction items in the newly entered auction house, let alone that Gu Mian doesn't seem like the kind of person who would take risks because of lack of money.
If it were known that such a thing had been found out to be true, Gu Mian would not be able to stand in this line for the rest of his life. No auction house or famous antique shop would hire someone with such a record.
"Whether or not she did it is what we'll investigate. As long as she didn't do it, of course we won't wrong a good person." Zhu Kai said lazily.
"That's great." Qin Sheng nodded.
"It's just...the current situation isn't very good for Miss Gu, it would be better if there were more clues." Zhu Kai added.
Qin Sheng understood the implication and thanked Zhu Kai before leaving with Fang Zhou.
Zhu Kai looked at Qin Sheng's back, a faint, inexplicable smile playing on his lips. The relationship between him and Qin Sheng was neither good nor bad, perhaps because the two men's auras simply couldn't mesh, and despite knowing each other for many years, they had never been able to progress from acquaintances to close friends.
Although he didn't have much contact with Qin Sheng, he had to admit that in some aspects, he was no match for Qin Sheng.
This time, it's clear that apart from the insider in the auction house, he also has some suspects in mind, but there is no conclusive evidence, and because they are not familiar with each other, some investigations are not easy to conduct. If Qin Sheng can do something about it, that would be great.
He gently pushed open the door and returned to the room where Gu Mian was, looking at Gu Mian who was not far away with a somewhat tired expression, and couldn't help but touch his own chin, secretly guessing what kind of friend Qin Sheng's friend was.
Qin Sheng understood Zhu Kai's hint, thought for a moment and decided to take action to investigate, letting Fangzhou collect some detailed information to see if he could help Gu Mian.
Noah received the instructions and a confident smile appeared on his face. Digging up inside information was his strong suit!
The auction is about to begin, Qin Sheng returned to the lounge first and brushed shoulders with someone when he walked into the lounge.
The other person seemed somewhat anxious, tightly holding a face, with an inexplicable anger in their expression.
"Director Du, the auction is about to start!" Before long, another person rushed out of the lounge and quickly caught up.
What's wrong?
Qin Sheng's eyes lit up with realization. No wonder he had just felt that the other person seemed somewhat familiar, it turned out to be the young master of the Du family group.
"Qin Sheng, where have you been? I heard you arrived a long time ago. I just looked for you everywhere but couldn't find you. Have you received any good stuff recently?" A man in his forties walked over as soon as he saw Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng took a look and saw that it was an acquaintance he often collaborated with, so he temporarily put Du Hao aside and started chatting with the familiar person.
Not long after, the auction began. Qin Sheng followed others to the venue and bid several times, buying one or two items he had set his eyes on early on.
The auctions before the auction are relatively general goods, and it's only later that the real highlight is reached, so the prices called out in front are neither warm nor cold, and there is no gunpowder smell in the venue.
Qin Sheng glanced around the room, his eyes pausing for a moment on an empty seat that he remembered was supposed to be Du Hao's.
"Qin Sheng." At this time, Fangzhou, who had gone to investigate the inside story, quietly came to Qin Sheng's side.
"How is it?" Qin Sheng asked in a low voice.
The ark nodded at Qin Sheng and pointed to the door, indicating that Qin Sheng should go out with him first.
