Chapter 111 Unknown Means
Lin Fan caught a glimpse of the stall owner's weathered face, which looked like he was nearly fifty years old. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he thought to himself: This "big brother" he calls me is really ridiculous.
He thought for a moment and took out another fifty thousand yuan: "Take it. I've done my best. As a man, you should be content. You could have made three million, but now, fifty thousand is not bad!"
"Yes, yes, thank you, brother. You are so kind."
The stall owner's wry smile widened, his inner resentment towards Old Qian practically igniting a flame. If it weren't for this old man messing things up, wouldn't he have made a fortune? The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He couldn't let this old man off so easily!
"You're blind and yet you're so self-righteous? Humph, how ridiculous."
Lin Fan said this before walking away with Shen Wei. Old Qian watched them go, gnashing his teeth in hatred. Feeling the strange looks from all around, he had no desire to linger and hurriedly left the scene.
"Old thing!"
The stall owner cursed inwardly. Although he didn't dare to do anything to Mr. Qian on the surface, he was more than capable of doing some small things in private.
He planned to use his connections to expose Qian Zhongxiang's scandal of selling counterfeit goods as genuine goods. With so many eyes watching, he would definitely destroy Qian Zhongxiang's reputation.
"Brother Fan, is this painting really an authentic work by Tang Yin?"
Shen Wei held the scroll tightly, unable to let it go.
"Nine times out of ten it's true."
Lin Fan nodded in confirmation.
"Haha, if you buy it for 150,000, you'll definitely make a profit."
"It's not just about not losing money, it's actually making a huge profit."
Shen Wei suddenly thought of something: "By the way, why did you give the stall owner another 50,000? Actually, it's okay not to give him."
"I gave him fifty thousand so that he could go and cause trouble for that old, dim-sighted fellow."
Lin Fan smiled meaningfully. "Think about it. He lost millions of dollars because of that old man. If I stir up trouble, will he let that old man go?"
"Wow, Brother Fan, this trick of yours is really cunning."
Shen Wei exclaimed.
"Even if I didn't give him the money, he would probably do it. But with the money, he would be even more vicious in his revenge."
Lin Fan had a playful expression on his face. "Who told that old man to be so ruthless first? If you do something bad, you have to bear the consequences."
"Brother Fan is really amazing. He calmly dealt with that old man with just 50,000 yuan."
Shen Wei gave a thumbs up and praised: "Let's go, Brother Fan, let's continue shopping before going back."
The two wandered around for another hour and returned with a full load.
"If you like it, take it. Don't be polite to me."
"A jade ruyi is enough. Brother Fan, we have a great harvest today!"
"so far so good."
Lin Fan smiled. Although he hadn't learned the origins of the multicolored jade, he had finally gotten something. The feeling of finding a bargain was truly satisfying!
As soon as the Maserati arrived at the company gate, it was stopped by two police cars.
"What's happening here?"
Shen Wei frowned.
"It seems they are coming for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight policemen jumped out of the car. The one leading them was the hot-tempered female officer—Xu Qingxue!
"What does Captain Xu mean?"
Lin Fan asked calmly after getting out of the car.
"Please go back and assist us in the investigation."
Xu Qingxue stared at Lin Fan and said coldly.
“Can I choose not to go?”
"Can't!"
Xu Qingxue waved her hand, and seven or eight policemen quickly gathered around. Some of them had their hands on their waists, ready to draw their guns at any time to deal with emergencies.
"There's no need to be so tense, right? Do you have solid evidence?" Lin Fan still maintained a relaxed smile in the face of this scene.
"I'm not here this time for the Xu Gaoyuan case, but for another foreign-related murder case." Xu Qingxue took a step forward with a serious expression.
"Qianlong Mountain?" Lin Fan raised his eyebrows, feeling surprised. Such a quick move?
"Do you have the formal procedures? Why are you arresting people in such a high-profile manner?" Shen Wei questioned dissatisfiedly.
"We are not arresting anyone, but inviting him to cooperate with the investigation. If he does not cooperate, we will take further measures." Xu Qingxue gave a clear explanation to Shen Wei's questions.
Shen Wei wanted to argue again, but Lin Fan stopped her. "Since it's the policewoman who invited me, how can I refuse?" Lin Fan was curious, thinking he had acted prudently, wondering how she had managed to find him so quickly.
"Park the car into the company and don't forget to pack up our 'trophies'." Shen Wei frowned, puzzled by Lin Fan's decision. Was it because of the beauty of this policewoman?
At this moment, Zhao Ziqing received the news and hurried out of the company. "What happened?"
"Lin Fan is involved in a foreign-related homicide case, and I need him to cooperate with the investigation." Xu Qingxue stated her purpose directly.
"A foreign-related murder?" Zhao Ziqing was shocked. Could it be Li Shengjie's case? "A foreigner was murdered in Qianlong Mountain last night," Xu Qingxue added.
"Where was he last night?"
"He's at home and has never left." Zhao Ziqing answered firmly.
Xu Qingxue's eyes flickered with suspicion. She remembered that Zhao Ziqing had given similar testimony on Lin Fan's behalf the night Xu Gaoyuan was in trouble. Was Zhao Ziqing lying, or did Lin Fan have some hidden agenda?
"Mr. Zhao, were you and Lin Fan together last night? Was he always within your sight?" Xu Qingxue asked.
"Although not the whole night, I can be sure that he didn't leave." Zhao Ziqing answered with a hint of indifference.
"If you weren't together the whole night, you can't prove whether he went out while you were sleeping." Xu Qingxue thought that as long as she found out what happened last night, she might be able to find clues that Lin Fan killed Xu Gaoyuan.
"You..." Zhao Ziqing's face suddenly turned ugly.
"Boss Zhao, I'll go." Lin Fan smiled, trying to lighten the mood. "I believe Captain Xu will conduct a fair investigation and won't wrongly accuse me."
"I will never wrongly accuse a good person, and I will never let a bad person go." Xu Qingxue responded coldly.
"Then go ahead. I'll let the company's legal advisor follow up on this matter." Zhao Ziqing said to Lin Fan, her tone revealing her trust in him.
"Okay." Lin Fan nodded with a smile and got into the police car.
"Move!" Xu Qingxue shouted, and just as she was about to get in the car, Zhao Ziqing stopped her. "Xu Qingxue, I hope you'll follow the proper procedures. If you dare to use tricks, I won't let you off the hook." Zhao Ziqing's voice was filled with a clear warning.
"You won't give up? As long as he doesn't implicate you, otherwise I will come to your door again." After Xu Qingxue said this, she quickly got into the car.
Inside the police car, Lin Fan leisurely reclined in the seat, legs crossed, his gaze unconsciously falling on Xu Qingxue. Her curvy figure, accentuated by her uniform, looked even more alluring, especially her long legs, which made him fantasize.
"If you look at me again, I will dig out your eyes." Xu Qingxue threatened coldly, obviously noticing Lin Fan's gaze.
