The studio is indeed not that far away, it's just nearby, but because the factory itself is too big and there is a large warehouse in the middle, the three of them walked for a long time to get there.

Qu Mingcong was taken into a white building. The studio on the first floor was a large room with many tables and chairs. There was almost an old man sitting behind each table, and the old men were holding various kinds of things in their hands.

Such tools are carefully carving the objects on the table.

The environment is very quiet, even if someone occasionally talks, the sound is not loud.

Xiao Chu waved to one of them: "Master Qi!"

The other party raised his head and revealed a young face - he looked about thirty years old, looking particularly young in a room full of old men in their sixties.

Qu Mingcong and Mei Chao looked at each other and knew that this person was probably the key figure in this investigation.

However, the other party did not seem to welcome their arrival.

Xiao Chu walked over and said: "Master Qi, the investigators are here. We went to the factory specifically to look for you just now, but we didn't expect that you had already returned to the studio."

The man known as Master Qi nodded, with no expression on his face. He raised his hand and pointed to an unoccupied corner of the studio, indicating to go there to chat.

Xiao Chu put the two empty tables together, and actively moved some chairs for them. He said to Qu Mingcong and Mei Chao: "You guys chat first, and I'll get you two glasses of water."

Master Qi glanced at Xiao Chu's back, then returned to Qu Mingcong and Mei Chao, and said calmly: "There will be work to do later. If you have any questions, please ask them quickly."

Mei Chao was not affected at all. He ignored the other party's indifferent attitude and asked a series of questions with a smile: "What do you call me? How many years have you been working here? What kind of work are you usually responsible for? Are you familiar with Miss Ding Na?"

"..." The other party was silent for a few seconds and replied, "My name is Qi He. I came here three years ago and am responsible for the high-quality blue and white engraving. Ding Na is interested in blue and white. I am responsible for every time she comes to the studio.

take her."

"Boss Na Ding must trust you very much, otherwise he wouldn't leave his daughter to you." Mei Chao complimented.

Reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling man, Qi He softened his expression and said, "Ding Na is a very talented child. All the masters here like her. Even if Boss Ding doesn't say anything, everyone will take care of her."

Qu Mingcong glanced around and asked: "Where will Ding Na sit every time she comes?"

"It's not fixed. You can sit wherever there is space." Qi He replied, "If there is something on the table, it means that other masters are using it. Find a space by yourself."

"What if all the seats are full?" Mei Chao asked curiously, "Ding Na has a separate studio in the museum. Why does she leave her separate studio unused and have to come here to squeeze in?"

"Upstairs, next to the finance room." After a pause, Qi He continued, "After Dina's accident, all the things she left here were temporarily stored in that room."

Mei Chao suddenly became energetic and said, "Can you take us upstairs to have a look?"

Qi He looked hesitant, "...How long will you probably have to watch? I have something to do later."

"Ten minutes." Qu Mingcong said, "It won't take you too long."

"Okay." Qi He frowned slightly and nodded, "I'll take you up to have a look."

He turned around and went out, and Qu Mingcong and Mei Chao followed immediately. As soon as he walked out of the studio door, he heard several old masters inside whispering:

"Why are you here to investigate again? What batch is this in? It's endless..."

"Yeah, I don't know what the boss is thinking. It's been more than a year and we still need to check. It's really annoying!"

Mei Chao looked embarrassed.

Qi He in front seemed not to hear, and kept walking forward in silence.

Qu Mingcong probably understood why Qi He didn't welcome them. He was obviously annoyed after being disturbed several times by investigators.

Then I thought again, since the people who participated in the previous activities have been here, it would be difficult to gain anything today.

…

Qi He took them to the second floor. The floor was not high, so he took the stairs directly. Qu Mingcong looked up and saw cameras everywhere.

The security system here is more sophisticated than that of the museum.

Ding Na's personal workspace was very far back. Qi He asked them to wait at the door while he went to the finance room next door to get the key. Within a few seconds, Qu Mingcong and Mei Chao heard a surprised sound coming from the finance room: "What? Again?"

Someone came to investigate? Why is it never over..."

Qu Mingcong and Mei Chao: "…………"

Qi He walked out with the key. Seeing that Qu Mingcong and Mei Chao looked a little unnatural, he knew that they had heard the complaint from the finance sister. He thought for a while and explained: "Actually, I have always disapproved of the boss organizing this investigation reward activity.

But the boss is too stubborn and doesn’t listen to anyone’s advice at all.”

"Why don't you agree?" Qu Mingcong asked, "Don't you want to find out the cause of Ding Na's death?"

"Because there is nothing to investigate." Qi He came over and lowered his head to unlock the door. "The police have investigated and found that the death was caused by an accidental fall. We all agree with this result."

"Maybe it was suicide," Mei Chao couldn't help but said, "We just came to Lalan County because we wanted to find out the cause of the suicide."

Qi He unlocked the door, pushed the door open, and replied calmly: "Impossible, Ding Na is not the type to commit suicide. I understand her."

"Then have you considered the possibility of killing him?" Qu Mingcong asked.

Qi He burst out laughing when he heard this, and looked back at him, "How is that possible? She died in a museum, not on the streets, so where did the gangster come from? Unless you also listened to the rumors and thought that Boss Ding forced his daughter to die."

He felt that Qu Mingcong and Mei Chao were half-hearted and did not have the ability to investigate at all. He shook his head and walked into Ding Na's studio——

The room was dark.

Qi He took advantage of the light outside the door, walked to the window, opened the curtains, and let the bright light shine in.

Mei Chao couldn't help but squint his eyes, "It's finally light... It was so dark in the room just now, almost too dark to see the sky. Why did you have to draw the curtains so tightly?"

"Some materials will cause problems if they are left in the sun for too long." Qi He patted the dust on his hands, "Because no one is using this room for the time being, so I closed all the curtains."

Qu Mingcong thought for a while, "I didn't see you guys drawing the curtains just now downstairs."

"There are so many people downstairs, it would be too stuffy if you were all zipped up, and there wouldn't be enough light." Qi He explained lightly, "And the master craftsmen know exactly when they can be exposed to the sun and when they need to stay out of the sun."

Experienced."

Mei Chao was not interested in whether the curtains were closed or not. At this moment, he looked at the piles of porcelain in front of him, his heart was shaken, and he murmured in surprise: "So many...could they all be made by Ding Na?

"

"Well," Qi He's lips curled up slightly with a subtle smile, as if he was proud of you, "I told you, that kid is very talented and is willing to study these things with concentration."

Qu Mingcong walked to a porcelain bottle, frowned, and said doubtfully: "I seem to have seen the same thing in a museum..."

"The one you saw should be a piece of Yuan blue and white, right?" Qi He reached out and picked up the porcelain vase in front of him, weighed it in his hand, and handed it to Qu Mingcong with a smile, "This is an imitation made by Ding Na, it cannot be

To say they are exactly the same, they are eighty-nine percent similar."

Qu Mingcong's hand sank and he caught the porcelain bottle. The oily surface was mixed with mottled texture. If he hadn't known in advance that Ding Na made it, he would have believed it when he said that the bottle was just dug out of the soil.

"You need to be calm and clever to do this." When talking about this, Qi He became talkative and pointed to the small details on the porcelain bottle and said to Qu Mingcong, "If you want to imitate antique porcelain, you must first imitate it and secondly make it.
