Hearing this, Chen Gushi looked even more smug.
Everyone suddenly realized that Li Tianyu was trying to be smart by following what the "authoritative expert" said.
Deng Changsheng said, "In that case, you can discuss the specific amount of compensation. Let's discuss it properly. Don't be impatient."
Li Tianyu picked up the paper cup and said, "Don't be impatient. I have a few questions."
Deng Changsheng asked, "Who?"
Li Tianyu said, "Miss Qin."
Everyone, including Qin Xuetong, was slightly surprised.
Li Tianyu said, "I just want to ask Miss Qin, where did you buy this thing?"
Qin Xuetong asked, "Is that important?"
Li Tianyu said, "Of course it is. It directly affects the value of this thing."
Qin Xuetong didn't hesitate. "I asked someone to buy it from an antique shop called Yuexiang Zhai in Panjiayuan. It cost me 50 million yuan."
Li Tianyu asked, "RMB?"
Qin Xuetong said, "RMB."
Li Tianyu had an incomprehensible look on his face. "Miss Qin, why did you spend so much money on this thing?"
Qin Xuetong asked, "Is that important?"
Li Tianyu said, "Yes."
Qin Xuetong said, "It's going to be my grandfather's 60th birthday soon. This is a birthday gift for him."
"Pfft!"
Li Tianyu spat out all the water he had just drunk onto Chen Fangshi.
"What, what are you doing?!" Chen Fangshi was a little angry.
Li Tianyu stood up and said to Qin Xuetong, "Miss Qin, are you saying that this is for your grandfather's birthday?"
Qin Xuetong asked back, "What? Is there something wrong? My grandfather is very interested in antiques. Is it not appropriate to give this to him? "
Deng Changsheng touched his chin and looked up. "Yes, there are flowers and birds on it. It looks quite festive. It's good as a birthday gift."
Li Tianyu shook his head. "Miss Qin, even if this thing isn't broken, you can't give it to him."
Everyone else was confused.
Only Chen Fangshi revealed a look of surprise when he heard this. He hurriedly came over to take a closer look.
Li Tianyu said, "Mr. Chen, did you see it too?"
An awkward look appeared on Chen Fangshi's face. "This …"
Qin Xuetong said, "Mr. Chen, what's going on?"
Chen Fangshi said, "This jade is a funeral gift …"
"What?!"
Everyone's face paled.
Deng Changsheng was also quite surprised. "Funeral goods? That really can't be given as a congratulatory gift. It's inauspicious."
Qin Xuetong frowned.
Li Tianyu tugged at Deng Changsheng and said, "Officer Deng, the police have something to do with this."
Deng Changsheng was shocked. "What's the matter?"
Li Tianyu pointed at the jade plate and said, "See, Officer Deng? There is only soil on the surface of this jade. There are no traces of oxidation and no coating. This means that it hasn't been touched yet."
Deng Changsheng revealed a look of sudden realization.
"Oh, you're saying …"
Li Tianyu snapped his fingers. "Congratulations, Officer Deng. You guessed right. This was just unearthed and is still warm! It's definitely done by a local prince! "
The so-called "local prince" meant a grave robber.
Deng Changsheng turned to Liang Nanqing and said, "Xiao Liang, inform the Cultural Relics Smuggling Department and ask them to send someone over."
Liang Nanqing nodded and left quickly.
Deng Changsheng said to Qin Xuetong, "Miss Qin, you bought it from Panjiayuan, right?"
Qin Xuetong nodded.
"When?"
"Last week, about four or five days ago."
Deng Changsheng said, "Okay, it's not that long. We'll send someone over later. If we're lucky, we can get your money back."
Qin Xuetong agreed.
But looking at her expression, she didn't seem to care much about the money.
It seemed that Qin Xuetong was not only a star, but also a super-rich girl.
Of course, there was another possibility, which was that she was a super-rich man's mistress.
Li Tianyu was now an extremely elegant man, so he immediately eliminated the second possibility.
Deng Changsheng said, "Teacher Li, thank you so much for giving us such an important clue. Maybe we can follow the clues and solve a cultural relics smuggling case!"
As Deng Changsheng spoke, he gave a thumbs up again. "Originally, I thought that this cultural relic expert must be old to be reliable. You are still the best. You have completely subverted my inherent impression. With just a glance, hey, you actually saw through it at once. What a divine eye!"
Li Tianyu said, "You're flattering me. It's all thanks to my peers."
"Peers." Chen Fangshi looked embarrassed.
Actually, with Chen Fangshi's ability, he could totally see through it, but at that time, his focus was not in that aspect. He just wanted to identify the authenticity and estimate the value of the jade. He didn't even think about whether it had just been dug out of the soil, so he missed it.
Li Tianyu said again, "By the way, Officer Deng, actually, we have to thank two people for this."
Deng Changsheng was startled. "Which two people?"
Li Tianyu pointed at Qin Xuetong first. "First of all, we have to thank Miss Qin. If it wasn't for this sugar daddy who spent a lot of money to buy this smuggled cultural relic, even if I had a divine eye, I wouldn't have been able to provide the police with clues."
Deng Changsheng patted his forehead. "Yes, yes, we have to thank Miss Qin for her money and effort."
Qin Xuetong's face was as calm as water, and her expression didn't change.
Li Tianyu thought to himself. She didn't even break down when he insulted her like this. Was she a robot?
Deng Changsheng asked, "What about the second person?"
Li Tianyu immediately replied, "The second person should thank Ai Laoer."
Deng Changsheng was startled. "Ai Laoer?"
Li Tianyu said, "It's Ai … Ai Laoer."
Deng Changsheng suddenly understood. "Ai Laoer … Oh, it's Ai Heping. Why should we thank him?"
Li Tianyu said, "Officer Deng, not only the police should thank him, but Miss Qin should also thank him."
Everyone present was quick-witted and very smart. They quickly understood Li Tianyu's meaning.
If Ai Heping hadn't chased after Qin Xuetong and smashed the jade plate, the matter wouldn't have been brought to the police station.
Li Tianyu said, "Old Ai … Ai Heping also put a lot of thought into it. He made two very important decisions in a row. The first was to chase after Ai Heping, and the second was to smash the plate. The police have obtained clues from this.
"As for Miss Qin, she doesn't have to send a funeral gift … to celebrate her dear grandfather's birthday. Don't the two of you think that this is a win-win situation?"
"The only bad thing is that Miss Qin lost 50 million yuan.
"But … does Miss Qin care?"
Qin Xuetong still didn't say anything.
"We'll try our best to get the 50 million yuan back," Deng Changsheng said. "And then?"
Li Tianyu said, "Officer Deng, for a good citizen like Ai Heping who acted bravely for a just cause, shouldn't he be allowed to eat commodity food?"
Deng Changsheng glanced at Li Tianyu. "According to what you said, we still have to give him an award?"
Li Tianyu waved his hand. "Don't worry about that. As long as the police dare to give him a certificate, he'll dare to accept it."
Deng Changsheng said, "Say, are you a cultural relics expert or not?"
Li Tianyu was stunned. "What's wrong?"
Deng Changsheng said, "You're a lawyer, right? Why else would you say that? Being a cultural relics expert is just a side job, right? "
