Chapter 2572 The legend of the Bao family
Shenzhen City, Bao family mansion.
"Sister Wu, this rich man is so nervous. Don't you think he has any problems?" Cui Lizhu stood outside the gate, "I'm over 50 years old and I haven't gotten married. Is there any problem with my gender orientation?"
"Don't talk nonsense, okay..."
Wu Xiumin looked in the living room. Bao Yucheng was taking his assistant to the vault to retrieve paintings.
Because the vault is a private place, Miao Ying and others are not easy to accompany you, so they can only wait in the living room.
At this moment, Miao Ying was carefully observing Bao Yucheng's living room, as if thinking about something...
"He said it himself," Cui Lizhu said, "Zhang Qile died, and the way the victim died in the red bathtub was killed. In this way, the painting she drew during her lifetime was not as simple as 10 or 20 million!
"If this is a big publicity and then put it at the auction, then it will not be a sky-high price?"
"The key is..." Wu Xiumin asked back, "If this is the case, why doesn't Bao Yucheng ask for help? Xiao Cui, we have checked Bao Yucheng's financial situation. Not to mention 10 or 20 million, even 100 or 200 million is nothing to him!
"I don't think he will have the idea of killing people just because he makes some money!"
"Oh...this is right, but..." Cui Lizhu frowned, "This person is so nervous that he always feels like a ghost in his heart!
"You said, why don't we apply for a search warrant and check him well?"
"It's not yet time," Wu Xiumin shook her head and said, "We have not checked his alibi certificate yet. We cannot apply for a search warrant so blindly.
"Besides," Wu Xiumin said again, "From the call record, Bao Yucheng and Zhang Qile have not been in contact for a long time..."
While I was talking, the movement came from the living room.
"Oh, sorry, sorry..." Bao Yucheng walked out of the vault with a shame and explained, "I actually forgot that Miss Zhang Qile's painting was not placed in the vault, maybe... it might be in the garage..."
As he said that, he walked outside with great strides, just passing by Choi Lizhu and Wu Xiumin.
"No way?" Choi Lizhu said poutingly, "You put it in the garage? You said before that those paintings may be worth tens of millions..."
"Oh, yes," Bao Yucheng wiped his sweat and said, "I forgot that the artwork worth tens of millions should have been placed in the vault, but I have forgotten these paintings...
"But don't worry, the garage is also locked, so the painting is absolutely there, wait, wait..."
"I see..." Miao Ying walked out of the living room and said, "Let's go with you! You have too many works of art. We can help you find it. Don't waste your precious time!"
"Oh, yes, yes..." Bao Yucheng nodded while reaching out to signal the direction of the garage.
"Well... there's something I've been busy just now, and I haven't had time to tell you in detail..." As he walked towards the garage, Bao Yucheng said to Miao Ying, "I think you should find out in the future. In fact, our Bao family also has some connection with the red bathtub case back then.
"So, I was so interested in Miss Zhang Qile's painting back then!"
"What?" Miao Ying was stunned, "Why didn't you say it before? What is your relationship with the red bathtub?"
"40 years ago, the second victim of the Red Bathtub case, Miss Qu Fali, was my grandfather's lover..." Bao Yucheng said, "I was only a teenager at that time and I once met..."
"What?" Miao Ying was even more surprised. "One of the victims in the Red Bathtub case has something to do with your family?"
"Yes," said Bao Yucheng, "After my grandmother passed away, my grandfather couldn't stand the loneliness, so he found a lover, Miss Qufali. He originally wanted to re-string, but unexpectedly, she was killed by that foreigner..."
"Something...is there still a relationship?" Miao Ying stopped, seemed to think of something, and asked hurriedly, "So, do you know this second victim?"
"Of course," said Bao Yucheng, "Qu Fali is particularly beautiful, and there are rumors that she is a mixed-race child.
"But, her background is really bad. She is a famous socialite in Yunzhou, so... my grandfather's proposal was opposed by the whole family...
"But my grandfather's attitude was very firm and he insisted on marrying her to the Bao family. For this reason, he turned his back on the family and almost moved out...
"And it was at that critical moment that something happened to Qu Fali, otherwise Qu Fali would be my rear-grandma!"
"Oh..." Miao Ying narrowed her eyes and stared at Bao Yucheng and said, "So, you buy that painting..."
"Well..." Bao Yucheng swallowed, stood at the door of the garage and hesitated for more than ten seconds before he smiled faintly and said, "Actually... 40 years have passed, and it's nothing to say it...
"Have you ever watched the movie "The Legend of Sicily"?" Bao Yucheng said, "There are many times when I often have the illusion that I am the protagonist in the movie..."
"The Legend of Sicily..." Cui Lizhu bit her lips and thought, "What does it mean, why can't you understand?"
Cui Lizhu looked at Miao Ying, but Miao Ying couldn't understand it, and was still waiting for Bao Yucheng to explain herself.
"So..." Only Wu Xiumin had seen this movie and immediately said to Bao Yucheng, "Have you peeked at Qu Fali?"
"Haha..." Bao Yucheng's face turned slightly red and he nodded, "Qu Fali is quite open. When she was taking a shower, she deliberately opened the window, and my room was facing my grandfather's bathroom..."
"Oh..." Choi Lizhu suddenly realized and asked, "Does your grandfather have a bathtub in the bathroom?"
Bao Yucheng murmured without commenting, "Okay, right, am I more like a suspect?"
"It seems..." Cui Lizhu whispered from Wu Xiumin's ear, "There is no problem with the orientation of this diamond prince..."
"Is that?" Wu Xiumin joked, "Do you have a chance to marry into a wealthy family? Do I need to give you a thread?"
"Stop making trouble," Choi Lizhu smiled, "I don't like greasy uncles! Besides, this lady is not short of money, so why don't you look for a young man?"
"Mr. Bao," Miao Ying said seriously, "You don't have to worry. We will find out the case clearly. If it has nothing to do with you, you don't have to worry too much!"
"Thank you," Bao Yucheng smiled bitterly, pointed to the garage and said, "Come on, come in and take a look. You will see that painting soon!"
After saying that, Bao Yucheng led everyone into the garage, saying it was a garage, but it was actually a high-end warehouse behind the garage.
The warehouse also has a password lock and an alarm system is installed.
Soon, Bao Yucheng opened the warehouse and took everyone in...
This time, Cui Lizhu and others also opened their eyes. The warehouse was filled with artworks, and there was almost no idle place.
According to Bao Yucheng himself, only collections worth more than 10 million will be placed in the real vault.
But even so, the value of the collections in the warehouse is immeasurable!
To be honest, Miao Ying herself is also a wealthy daughter. She has seen so many rich people, but this is the first time she has seen a wealthy man with such a huge amount of artwork.
"Well... I haven't been here for a long time... Let me think about it..." Bao Yucheng recalled, pointed to the depths of the warehouse and said, "It should be placed under a Mayan wood carving in a relatively low place..."
As he said that, he walked towards the depths first, and while walking, he said to Miao Ying:
"By the way, police officer, there is one thing I have just happened. I forgot to explain it to you," he said seriously, "This Miss Zhang Qile is more...comparable..."
"That?" Miao Ying asked, "Which?"
"Since I bought her paintings," Bao Yucheng said, "she has fallen in love with me. She has shown good deeds to me many times, and even piously promised that even if she doesn't marry her, she can only be a lover..."
"Oh..." Miao Ying thought about Bao Yucheng's meaning. What he said was as expected by Miao Ying.
Zhang Qile is more utilitarian. When he meets a super rich man like Bao Yucheng, how could he not take the initiative?
Next, Miao Ying was about to ask if Bao Yucheng had escaped in the end?
