Qi Linqing is usually in the studio, and only comes back during holidays.
None of the housekeepers and nannies in the courtyard, including Cai Ji, expected the theft.
Except for the two paintings in Qi Linqing's bedroom, there are no valuable ornaments in the house.
And what was lost was precisely those two paintings.
As the capital of China, City B has excellent public security. The property management in this area is also very strict...
Who is it that dares to burglary
They didn't know, so they could only call the police as soon as possible.
When Cai Ji and the housekeeper dialed 120 to deal with the police, Qi Linqing checked his room first.
The bedroom didn't show any signs of being tampered with.
Obviously the purpose of the thief is very clear.
He opens the safe.
Not surprisingly, the "Landscapes of Thousand Miles" inside also disappeared.
The corner of Qi Linqing's forehead twitched slightly, and there was a vague premonition in his heart.
But he quickly noticed a detail, locked the safe door calmly, and exited the bedroom.
The butler asked, "Master, you checked the room just now, is there anything missing besides those two paintings?"
Qi Linqing shook his head and said, "It's gone."
He could not disclose information about "Ten Thousand Miles of Landscape".
The housekeeper comforted: "Wait a little longer, the police will be here soon. Now that technology is so advanced, if the other party leaves some fingerprints or something, he may be arrested the next day."
This is true, but Qi Linqing knows that things are by no means so simple.
Zhong Chen quickly rushed to the courtyard, looked him up and down, and asked anxiously, "Are you okay?"
Qi Linqing: "It's okay."
Zhong Chen: "Then you lost two paintings?"
Qi Linqing: "Yes."
Zhong Chen looked at his rarely anxious expression, but already guessed in his heart that the "Landscapes of Thousand Miles" must have been stolen as well.
They sat in the living room waiting for the police to intervene. But the strange thing is that there is still no movement outside even though the police have called the police for more than an hour.
Finally, Cai Ji couldn't sit still, stood up and walked to the kitchen, saying:
"I'm going to refill my cup of tea."
He had just walked a few steps, when he heard the siren wafting, his expression brightened, "The police are here!"
The butler and the nanny stood up one after another and looked out.
Qi Linqing and Zhong Chen's eyes met, and they retracted.
Then they also walked towards the door.
The gate outside the yard was unlocked. The police just pushed the door open and swarmed towards them.
Cai Ji wondered, "Why are there so many people..."
Zhong Chen's complexion changed slightly.
The chief sheriff went straight to Qi Linqing, took out a pair of handcuffs and put them on his wrists, and said coldly:
"Mr. Qi, you have been arrested by the Public Security Bureau of City B on suspicion of counterfeiting antiques. You have the right to remain silent, and anything you say will become evidence in court."
Several people present were taken aback.
Except Zhong Chen.
He kept staring at the sheriff with dangerous eyes, and asked, "What evidence do you have?"
The sheriff didn't even look at him, and dropped a sentence:
"We have informants."
When they came to their senses, Qi Linqing had already been taken away by the police.
Even if he was caught suddenly, Qi Linqing was very calm throughout the whole process.
This scene fell in the eyes of the sheriff, which just confirmed his crime.
After Qi Linqing finished his notes, he was taken into the temporary prison in the bureau.
It is night now.
He looked at the drunk gray-haired man sitting across from him, his eyes downcast and he remained silent.
According to the surrounding policemen, the other party almost hit a pedestrian because of drunk driving.
"Hey, kid, why are you looking at me all the time?" The man squinted at him.
Qi Linqing: "We are the only ones here."
This tone, there is a posture that I don't look at who you look at.
The man laughed angrily, and asked with a cold snort, "What did you do?"
Qi Linqing said calmly: "They said that I was suspected of being a fake antique."
The man was jolted up and instantly sobered up a lot. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Qi Linqing, suddenly interested.
"Seeing that you are young and have a pretty face, you actually did this? Tomb robbery or something?"
A few years ago, after adaptations of film and television dramas such as "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "Tomb Raider Notes" became popular, Wenwan was shrouded in a veil of mystery. Ordinary people will inevitably have imaginations when they hear this.
Qi Linqing: "I think too much, I just draw."
Man: "Me too."
Qi Linqing: "Huh?"
The man murmured: "I used to paint as well."
After they stayed for a while, a policeman came in to unlock the lock.
"Someone came to bail you out." The police pouted to signal the man to go out.
Qi Linqing raised his head, but saw that the person who came to bail the other party looked familiar.
It was Lai Ze, the art director who filmed "Tangyue Fengyun" before.
Lai Ze was also surprised when he saw him, "Qi Linqing? Why are you here?!"
Qi Linqing shook his head and said, "It's a long story."
The man turned around, looking between them.
"You know each other?"
"The kid was in a show I directed before," Reiser explained.
"Oh, then you are a star?" The man looked at Qi Linqing.
Qi Linqing: "No."
The man muttered: "I have a star face."
Lai Ze smiled awkwardly, and quickly apologized to Qi Linqing:
"Sorry, my brother hasn't been online for a long time."
Qi Linqing: "It's okay."
But... the word senior brother made his heart move slightly.
"Is this gentleman also an art director?" Qi Linqing pointed at the man.
Lai Ze nodded and said, "Well, he is Fu Wen."
Qi Linqing was slightly taken aback when he heard the words. He has watched a lot of well-known movies recently, and he happened to have heard of Fu Wen's name.
It is impossible for anyone in the film industry not to know him.
This legendary man is the first art director in China to win an international art award.
The two films he collaborated with, "Senka" and "Once Upon a Time in Chuncheon", the former was produced in Hollywood and won an Oscar that year.
The latter also won the Golden Horse Award. It raked in one billion box office, and it was called the perfect combination of business and literature.
Lai Ze didn't know what happened to Qi Linqing and was locked up in the police station. He went to communicate with the police, and wanted to use the lawyer he brought over to release Qi Linqing on bail.
But it is not as easy as imagined.
Qi Linqing advised Lai Ze to leave first. One is that he is indeed innocent, and the other is that people outside of him will definitely come to bail him out soon. When the news got out, it was impossible for the Qi family to sit still.
Lai Ze had no choice but to lead Fu Wen out.
But he did not leave, but stood at the door waiting to find out what happened.
He sharply noticed the paparazzi surrounding him, and his heart sank.
Fu Wen: "Who the hell was that kid just now? He is young, but he speaks in a manner that seems to have fallen into a book bag."
Reiser was helpless. "Teacher Fu, you can Google it yourself."
Fu Wen opened Baidu according to his words, and was taken aback when he saw that the other party had won the Mo Cup National Chinese Painting Championship.
That kid is really a painter.
Ten minutes later, Zhong Chen, Yan Jiade and others hurriedly appeared at the door and released him on bail.
After learning that the two paintings written by Fu Yi and Yuan Sihao were stolen, Yan Jiade's expression was so gloomy that water dripped out.
Zhong Chen was even more puzzled.
He and Qi Linqing were both children of rich families in this life, and the money and power of the Qi and Zhong families had a solid foundation in City B.
How could the sheriff suddenly conduct a surprise attack
"Unless they obtain sufficient evidence." Yan Jiade said.
Zhong Chen's face darkened: "Qi Linqing is unlikely to be involved in the counterfeiting of antiques. A few days ago, I received a message on station B asking if he would participate in the counterfeiting. I clearly submitted it to the police..."
Yan Jiade sighed softly, "The evidence may also be false. It's a crime."
As soon as these four words came out, Zhong Chen's eyes flickered.
Obviously someone has been eyeing Qi Linqing's painting for a long time.
The news on station B is just a test, or an opportunity.
Sitting in the car, Qi Linqing pinched the center of her eyebrows, as if she was a little tired.
"Why don't we go home first."
Both Zhong Chen and Yan Jiade knew that this happened to him suddenly, and he entered the game again, so he must have been very tired.
The car drove slowly towards the courtyard.
Yan Jiade looked at Qi Linqing, and said earnestly: "I said it before, if Fu Yi's real painting comes out, it will definitely cause a sensation. As the owner of this painting, you will definitely become a thorn in the side of some people."
Qi Linqing: "Some people?"
Yan Jiade: "I wanted to tell you last time, but I never found the time. In addition to the major art academies and calligraphy and painting associations in the Chinese painting world today, there is another ancient force. It sounds like a novel, doesn't it? But this is indeed true. They are inherited from a thousand-year-old family, and they are divided into southern and northern sects, which are unknown. When you contributed dozens of lost techniques, we thought you came from these families... "
Qi Linqing and Zhong Chen listened attentively.
Yan Jiade continued to eloquently: "Nowadays, they are not sticking to traditional Chinese paintings, but are more focused on antiques. With the inheritance left by their ancestors, after the reform and opening up, this group of family members gradually controlled Jiangnan. Almost all of the antique markets even participated in counterfeiting and making counterfeit products, which muddied the original pool of water. However, the two factions have serious struggles on their own. If they join forces, the entire antique market in China may be completely overturned. "
When Qi Linqing and Zhong Chen heard the words, their hearts were complicated.
No wonder the other party dared to do it. With such a strength rooted in the turbulent darkness, it is indeed possible to quietly enter the courtyard to steal, and make the police mistakenly think that he is involved in the counterfeiting of antiques.
Yan Jiade was also worried that the two children did not understand what is called the Southern School and the Northern School, so he deliberately explained:
"The dispute between the Southern School and the Northern School has existed since ancient times. The Tang Dynasty was a very important historical turning point. At that time, the Northern School was powerful and the Southern School was weak. The well-known painter Fu Yi belonged to the Southern School. The policy proposed by Liang Luoduan and the establishment of the painting academy led to the gradual rise of the Southern School. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Southern School had far surpassed the Northern School in both the number of well-known painters and their influence."
Yan Jiade didn't know at all that the painting saint and the national teacher in his mouth - these two famous historical figures were sitting in front of him at this moment.
They have personally experienced this period of history, and it is inevitable that they will feel a little bit sad when they hear the story from later generations.
Qi Linqing thought that the painting "Landscapes of Thousand Miles" had also been stolen, and his right eyelid twitched unconsciously.
If the culprit who framed him was really a member of the North-South faction according to Professor Yan, and they found this painting... I don't know how they would feel
At the same time, major marketing accounts on the Internet posted Weibo one after another.
[Explosive news! Qi Linqing was arrested]
[When the popular Chinese painting genius entered the game late at night, he responded positively...]
Netizens thought these were just headlines for grandstanding, but when they clicked on them, they discovered that there were pictures and truth.
