Chapter 406 Selfishness
Chapter 406 Selfishness
"Captain Tong, we found out from Zhang Qiang that a previous gambling debt has indeed been paid off, a total of 20,000."
Xiao Zhu soon came to report to Tong Yan.
Tong Yan was just about to listen to the results of the experts and Mr. Cao's appraisal of the broken porcelain pieces, but he didn't expect Xiao Zhu to act so quickly.
"Wait a moment, go eat, and then we'll go interrogate Zhang Qiang."
Tong Yan waved at Xiao Zhu and pushed the door into the small conference room.
Inside were the bureau’s specially hired experts in cultural relics identification, including Mr. Cao, Mr. Chen and others.
They are trying to piece together the broken pieces of porcelain into a complete object.
"Mr. Cao, Mr. Chen, Professor Tang."
As soon as he came in, Mr. Cao called him over.
"Come on, Captain Tong, take a look at this thing."
Tong Yan sat down and carefully looked at the blue and white porcelain vase that he had put together.
"Why is this shape a bit strange?"
Tong Yan had seen antique vases before, but this one was in the shape of a melon and had a bamboo-jointed neck, which was very strange.
"This porcelain vase is a royal Buddhist offering vessel. Its shape is very unique. Does your son-in-law want to give it to you at your birthday party?" Old Cao looked at Old Chen teasingly.
"I suspect his son-in-law wants him to reach heaven early."
Mr. Cao is very disloyal and takes pleasure in other people's misfortunes.
Chen Songling was somewhat helpless: "What's so funny? Have you ever seen a son-in-law who is stupid?"
"Is your son-in-law stupid? His mind is almost as stupid as a lotus root." Old Cao retorted casually.
Chen Songling stopped talking.
He knows what kind of person his son-in-law is.
He even suspected that this matter was related to his son-in-law.
But everyone has selfish desires.
If the police station didn't find anything, Chen Songling would naturally not take the initiative to ask Tong Yan to investigate Qian Sihai.
How could Qian Sihai be willing to spend 10 million to buy him a blue and white porcelain vase? Where did he get the 10 million?
Even if he had money, he has such a large family to support, how would the money be enough?
At the same time, Tong Yan was also observing Mr. Chen's reaction.
He didn't know much about the Chen family, but he had heard some things about it.
Mr. Chen was not very satisfied with his son-in-law.
It is one thing for a son-in-law to come from a poor family background, but even if he comes from a poor family background, he may be able to change his family environment through hard work.
But this son-in-law seemed to be coaxing money from Chen's daughter and using it to supplement his own family.
If Qian Sihai was willing to spend 10 million to give Mr. Chen a birthday gift, even if his wife agreed, his parents, brothers and sisters would not agree.
He also had someone investigate Qian Sihai, but he didn't tell Mr. Chen anything.
"Tell us what he did. Tell us about the offering in front of the Buddha. Didn't you say you saw something similar in the Imperial Capital Museum?" Chen Songling glanced at Tong Yan and changed the subject.
"Yes, I saw one a few years ago. It was donated to the museum. It was said to have appeared at an auction company in the capital a few years ago and was sold for more than 15 million."
Just take a photo and donate it?
Tong Yan raised his eyebrows.
Others have had the same question.
"It was indeed donated. It caused quite a stir at the time. It was donated by a famous entrepreneur."
"That person not only donated this blue and white porcelain vase, but he also bought a bronze artifact abroad and donated it as well."
When Mr. Cao mentioned the entrepreneur, he looked obviously approving.
"That's a great kindness!" Chen Songling couldn't help but admire it. "Not many people are willing to donate antiques and cultural relics from their homes nowadays. The main reason is that the reward mechanism set up by the state is too unattractive."
"However, the entrepreneur you mentioned has really achieved the goal of helping the world when he is successful. If our country can have more people like him, why should we worry about the country not being prosperous and the people not being safe?"
