Live broadcast of making old bronze artifacts, the police came knocking on the door

Chapter 30 What happened to my client?
After Zhang Yang sent out the Han Dynasty dancing girl figurine, he fired the remaining eight pieces while his hands were still hot.

A total of eight dancing girl figurines are placed in the yard, giving a solemn feeling of a Han Dynasty funeral.

If there was a coffin lying in the middle and a horn sound as background music, I really can’t imagine it.

After finishing all this, all that remains is to wait for the response from the client.

Zhang Yang could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

He thought about contacting Xiao Shen to ask her about the progress, but when he took out his phone, he realized that he had not added Xiao Shen's WeChat.

It’s a bit funny that none of my senior brothers and sisters have any contact information.

If the master was still outside, he would have created a group of "loving family" by now.

Forget it. If I can’t get in touch with him, I’ll just wait for Xiao Shen to come to me.

After all, he is a student of the History Department of Qingzhou University and still has academic burdens.

Zhang Yang turned around and moved out his master's rocking chair.

Lie on it and rock.

Very leisurely.

Zhang Yang thought, if there was a beautiful woman by his side feeding him grapes at this time, that day would be perfect.

But he didn't have time to imagine such a good day.

Another uninvited guest came to the door.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Is Zhang Yang at home?"

"I am not at home."

“…Open the door!”

Looking at the police outside the door, Zhang Yang smiled helplessly.

OK, OK, here we go again.

Coming here is like going home for the police.

How about just turning your home into a police station?

"Captain Tu, what brings you here?"

Unlike the previous times, Zhang Yang was not nervous at all this time when the police came to his door.

Invite them in very freely.

It's so tough that it's been filed.

What's more, the person who came to my house this time was an acquaintance:
A former plainclothes policeman, Deputy Team Leader Tu was seconded by the Provincial Department to the Wuhan Municipal Bureau and is specifically in charge of cultural relics projects.

When they were at the Wuhan City Bureau, he was the one who took Zhang Yang to register.

The policeman following behind was also an acquaintance. He was the one who drove Zhang Yang back not long ago.

So Zhang Yang was not panicked at all.

All buddies.

"It's because you have a big business."

"I'm sorry to bother you today, Boss Zhang."

Officer Tu walked into the yard with his subordinates and sat down in the same seat as last time very skillfully.

After the greetings, he asked:
"Where's Miss Shen? Why can't I see her?"

"Junior sister has gone home. It's not a good idea for her to stay here all the time."

"I see. Boss Zhang, we came here today because someone reported you to the police a few days ago, saying that you mailed a pottery figurine to someone else."

"Is that true?"

"Yes." Zhang Yang turned around and pointed to the big scene behind him.

"There are still many such figurines, and I am preparing them for my customers."

"I see." Officer Tu nodded.

"Boss Zhang, how much do you know about your client?"

While Officer Tu was asking questions, he waved his hand and another police officer beside him took out a notebook and prepared to take notes.

"Is it so formal?" Zhang Yang was slightly surprised.

Are you going to record it now?
"It's okay, just a few simple questions."

Although Officer Tu said it very easily, Zhang Yang didn't believe it at all.

You look like the matter is very serious, okay?
Zhang Yang was very curious:
What happened to your own customers?
But Lao Hu said that he was a big money sponsor and Zhang Yang was waiting to fleece him.

"You can ask me questions, but can I ask around first?"

“What happened to my client?”

Zhang Yang had the confidence to ask this question because he had done nothing.

After hearing this, Officer Tu's eyes flickered.

He took another look at the spectacular scene behind Zhang Yang.

There are so many dancing girl figurines.

Zhang Yang, didn’t you make bronze ware before?

Why are you making terracotta figurines again?
Is it true that you don’t have any creative bottleneck at all?
The key point is that the burn was so similar. If Officer Tu had not been in the police station that day, his colleagues would have definitely arrested Zhang Yang again.

Then make a joke.

Officer Tu took a deep breath. Considering the relationship between Zhang Yang and Xiao Shen, he decided to make his words clearer:

"I hope you, Boss Zhang, will keep the following contents confidential. If you leak them, we will hold you accountable for your legal responsibilities."

"is that clear?"

"Clearly understood." Zhang Yang nodded very seriously in response.

I don’t know what happened, but the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Your client is suspected to have absconded." Officer Tu said word by word.

"What?"

Zhang Yang was stunned.

Absconded?

What you mean is, such a big financial sponsor was gone in a snap?
"Wait, Officer Tu, don't just give the conclusion, can you explain the process?"

Officer Tu nodded and gave a brief account of what had happened.

After the courier called the police, the police summoned Mr. Zheng for investigation.

It just so happened that Officer Tu was in the police station at that time.

He saw that the case was related to Zhang Yang, and confirmed the situation with General Zheng, and quickly concluded that this was a misunderstanding.

It's just a rich boss buying imitation products.

So he ordered people to release General Zheng.

A lot of tomb robbers have been caught recently, and the city bureau is almost overwhelmed with them.

Unexpectedly, in the early morning of the next day, patrolling police discovered a group of tomb robbers in a nature reserve at the junction of Wudu and Qingzhou.

And an ancient tomb that has just been excavated.

The tomb robbers identified the gang's commander as Mr. Zheng.

The police also found a small number of unearthed cultural relics in General Zheng’s villa.

But Mr. Zheng was not at home.

His girlfriend couldn't contact him either.

The police searched for several days but found no trace of Mr. Zheng. It was almost certain that he had fled for fear of being punished.

Now, Officer Tu was very nervous.

Because if he had said less at that time, General Zheng would most likely have been locked up for 24 hours, and he would not have been able to escape.

If the person is not caught in the end, he will have to take some blame because he was not vigilant enough.

Helpless Officer Tu finally thought of Zhang Yang and came to him to ask about the situation.

Let’s see if we can get some unexpected gains here.

"So this is ah."

After listening to this, Zhang Yang nodded in sudden realization.

He was listening to the story the whole time.

This melon tastes average, but it's edible.

Except for the accidental arrest of General Zheng at the beginning of the case, the subsequent events had nothing to do with Zhang Yang.

But he was curious about one thing:
"Officer Tu, what does Mr. Zheng want to do with my things? Is it as a souvenir?"

"He is a tomb robber who buys fakes. Could he be mentally ill?"

"..."

Officer Tu sighed and explained:

"This Mr. Zheng, he wasn't originally a professional tomb robber."

"He had been using abandoned ancient tombs as a tourist attraction, selling fake antiques as special souvenirs."

"But this time, when they were working on the newly discovered ancient tomb, they discovered a tomb within a tomb..."

According to Officer Tu, a suspected Han Dynasty tomb was dug out underneath a Ming Dynasty tomb.

There are stone tablets in the tombs of the Ming Dynasty, and the age is very clear.

The age of the Han Dynasty tomb below is not very certain.

All the contents of the Han Tomb have been emptied and have not yet been fully recovered.

Officer Tu and his colleagues suspected that General Zheng had already moved the valuables away.

After hearing this, all of Zhang Yang's doubts were resolved.

It turns out that the only thing between an individual business owner and a tomb robber is a tomb door.

"I can't help you with this matter."

Zhang Yang tells the truth:

"I always thought he was in the souvenir business."

"Well, Officer Tu, look at what I've done."

"Could the police please consider using Mr. Zheng's stolen money to pay me for the goods? Then you can take these figurines back as stolen goods."

Officer Tu: “???”

Zhang Yang's words almost burned out his CPU.

He patiently explained to Zhang Yang:

"According to our current investigation, Mr. Zheng did not sell the cultural relics, so there is no such thing as stolen money."

"You can wait until he is released from prison to fulfill the purchase contract with him, or you can contact his family or partners directly."

"So there's no stolen money. That's fine."

Zhang Yang felt that what Officer Tu said made sense.

But he still has a question:
"Then if I ask Mr. Zheng to pay me for the goods now, the money will also be clean, right?"
