At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Zheng and Long Chuchu arrived at Suyun City. At this time, Situ Yao and Yao Keer, who had arrived early in the morning, successfully found the porcelain master, Chang Zhong, with the help of their counterparts in Suyun City. Complete.
Of course, when Xu Zheng arrived in Suyun City, he did not start working immediately. Instead, he visited Qu Hou, the deputy bureau of the municipal bureau. The two chatted with each other about their work and life, and made an appointment for dinner before ending the chat.
Suyun Antique City, the fifth floor mainly sells various antique porcelain.
Although they are said to be antiques, in fact, everyone knows that most of them are antique porcelain, such as the five major kilns of the Song Dynasty, the official kilns of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the works of famous modern artists.
Forty years ago, Chang Zhongquan was sentenced to death with a suspended death sentence for crimes such as manslaughter and destruction of corpses, which was later commuted to life imprisonment. His sentence was commuted three times in prison, and he finally served 25 years in prison.
After he was released from prison, he immediately started working as an antique peddler, setting up a street stall all day long. Being in prison did not affect his learning of professional knowledge. After he was released from prison, he was very knowledgeable in porcelain, and he was extremely knowledgeable in selling porcelain. No, Within a few years, he grew up as a street vendor and became a famous antique and porcelain owner in the antique city.
Now he runs a Duobao porcelain antique store.
Antique shops generally close in March and last three years after opening. Therefore, when Xu Zheng and the others came here, there were not many people in the entire antique city except for some tourists who came here for the name.
But there was no one else in Chang Zhongquan's shop except him and a waiter.
Xu Zheng and the others wanted to pretend to be tourists and chat with Chang Zhongquan first, but unexpectedly, as soon as they opened the door and walked in, the little old man with gray hair who looked sleepy glanced at him and smiled kindly. He directly stated his identity and said, "These leaders are very handsome. I wonder what they are doing in this small shop?"
Unexpectedly, this man has really sharp eyesight. I heard that some old prisoners can smell the police from across the street after they have been in prison for a long time.
Now that his identity has been guessed, Xu Zheng directly revealed his identity, "Boss Chang is worthy of being a sharp eye in the antiques industry. We are a special team of the Provincial Criminal Investigation Corps. This visit, I want to ask you for advice on some things." "
Today, colleagues in Suyun City are very helpful. The information they investigated about Chang Zhongquan is very complete, but there is no evidence that he is related to bone china eucalyptus. A gradual investigation may yield results, but Xu Zheng no longer wants to investigate slowly. .
When Chang Zhongquan heard that he was the leader of the provincial department, his face changed slightly, and he became confused at the same time. Could there be any big news related to him?
"Government, no, no, discipline..." Chang Zhongquan, who was nervous, habitually shouted the name he used to call the prison guards in the prison. He gave himself a gentle slap in the face and calmed down. He asked again: "Comrade police officers, I don’t know what you are asking me about, please don’t worry, I will definitely tell you everything..."
Xu Zheng looked at Boss Chang in front of him and his words were incoherent when he heard that they were from the provincial department. He was nervous and scared, and his face was slightly sweaty, as if he was a timid person.
But Xu Zheng knows that no one in the antique business has a good heart, and no one with a dark heart can run an antique shop. If nothing else, just an antique porcelain, with a purchase price of 1,000 yuan, dare to directly If you ask for millions, and if the customer buys it, it's a slap in the face, even if you call the police, they won't get their money back.
After being instructed by Xu Zheng, Long Chuchu took out a piece of bone china from his bag and gently placed it on the counter in front of Chang Zhongquan.
At just one glance, Chang Zhongquan seemed to have seen a ghost, and subconsciously hid behind him. Cold sweat broke out unnaturally on his forehead, and he stuttered when he spoke, "Police...Comrade, how about we talk inside?"
Seeing Xu Zheng nodding, he hurriedly waved to the boy in the store, "Li Chen, go back first."
Xu Zheng glanced at the young boy. He was playing with a table of broken porcelain pieces and seemed to be studying.
After the young man named Li Chen left, Chang Zhongquan closed the door of the antique shop again and welcomed Xu Zheng and the others into the reception room.
After closing the door and everyone sitting down, Chang Zhongquan picked up the piece of bone china, looked at it carefully with a flashlight and a magnifying glass, and was amazed.
After putting down the things, Chang Zhongquan said firmly and seriously: "This is a piece of bone china, or artificial bone china. Judging from the fire of the firing, it should be out of the kiln around the time of the snow at the beginning of the year.
You see, the material of this piece of bone china is exquisite, and the glazing craftsmanship is close to that of a master.
There are just a few bubbles inside the porcelain, which is a sign that it was taken out of the kiln during the coldest time in winter.
The temperature of the cave is very high. After the fire is turned off, the porcelain usually cools naturally. If it is too cold, bubbles will bulge on the inner wall..."
Chang Zhongquan eloquently explained all the advantages and disadvantages of this piece of bone china, and even judged that the artificial powder used was the kind of young people who are in good health, have not had any cancer, and whose bones do not discolor under high temperatures.
Xu Zheng patiently listened to the professional explanation for a long time and asked, "We found out that Boss Chang fired bone china forty years ago. I don't know..."
"No, no, I didn't make this piece of bone china." Chang Zhongquan waved his hands quickly, but he didn't expect the police to doubt him. After all, there are not many masters in China who know how to make bone china. "I have long ago I have already washed my hands of the crime, police comrades, you must not accuse me unjustly."
Xu Zheng also felt from the tone of Chang Zhongquan's words that he was not the person he was looking for, and he felt a little disappointed, but he immediately realized that his idea was wrong. He was doing business well and he couldn't make random guesses.
"Boss Chang, don't panic. We are here to ask for your help. There are too few masters who know how to make bone china, and these bone china are so beautifully fired. We would like to ask you if you know anyone who Is there such a technology?"
Chang Zhongquan was a little hesitant after hearing Xu Zheng's words. He looked up again and found that the eyes of the young policeman in front of him were like clairvoyant eyes. He was shocked and immediately retracted what he originally wanted to say.
"Alas! If I read correctly, this piece of bone china should have been made by my junior brother." Chang Zhongquan knew that as long as the police had suspicions, they would not let go easily without finding something. Although he ran an antique shop shop, but sometimes, I will also make a few pieces of porcelain for fun.
"My junior brother, Feng Yuxuan, is from Changming. He is now at the Liuhe District Porcelain Research Institute. He is the director and firing master.
I recognized the bone china you brought from the very beginning. Every porcelain master has his own glazing habits. Although he and I have not been in contact for many years, I still know his porcelain-firing habits. "
Xu Zheng heard strong resentment from his words. It seemed that the story between their junior brothers was very exciting, so Chang Zhongquan only hesitated slightly before recruiting his junior brother.
Now that they got the information they wanted, Xu Zheng and the others said goodbye. Before he left, he asked Chang Zhongquan to keep today's events secret, especially not to tip off Feng Yuxuan.
Chang Zhongquan agreed wholeheartedly, and he hoped that Xu Zheng could keep what he just said a secret, so that his junior brother would not know about it.
After leaving the antique city, Xu Zheng asked Long Chuchu to pass the news he had just received back to the conference room, and asked the colleagues who stayed there to immediately investigate Feng Yuxuan. He himself picked up his mobile phone and dialed Qu Hou's number, and said this Due to the situation, thanks to the help of the Suyun Municipal Bureau, they had to leave immediately to return to Changming.
This was business, so Qu Hou would naturally not object. He told Xu Zheng to go back and drive slower and then hung up the phone.
The whole journey was silent and the whole journey was at high speed. It took more than two hours for everyone to arrive at the next destination, Liuhe District Branch.
Captain Yu Xinyuan of the Liuhe District Criminal Police Brigade and Director Zuo of the branch came forward to receive Xu Zheng. At this time, not only Zhou Fangben and Gu Jia came, but Jian Xueqing and Liao Hai also arrived.
The battle was huge, because Zhou Fangben’s previous joke really came true. It turned out that Liuhe District had already noticed Feng Yuxuan’s porcelain research institute. They had received a report a few months ago, saying that this research institute was not only responsible for firing antiques, but also Porcelain, and those antique porcelain are also fired to deceive consumers with fake ones.
Their method of counterfeiting is also very simple. They buy pieces of antique porcelain, find pieces from the same official kiln, turn them into powder, add some high-tech products to re-fire them, and then use high-tech means to make them look old after they leave the kiln.
The porcelain fired in this way is no different from antiques, and even the carbon molecular detection used abroad will not overturn it.
Currently, Liuhe District's research institute investigation into Feng Yuxuan has 70% to 80% evidence, but they don't know that Feng Yuxuan actually fired bone china.
In this case, when Xu Zheng came back, the special team held a meeting with the criminal police colleagues in Liuhe District to study whether to arrest Feng Yuxuan as soon as possible. Yu Xinyuan first told everyone about their team’s investigation of Feng Yuxuan’s graduate school. progress of the investigation.
Then he raised the difficulty on their side, "Feng Yuxuan Research Institute has a specialized ceramic production factory. Most of the counterfeit porcelain they make is smuggled abroad. Therefore, we can't find out how much profit he made from it now."
There is no victim, no counterfeit porcelain can be found, and his illegal income abroad cannot be frozen. Because we have not found out how he laundered the money back, our actions have been unable to take effective measures.
Originally, we wanted to wait for them to produce the next batch of counterfeit porcelain, and then arrest them when they were trading, but we had to wait for several months.
Now that the special team has new clues, we are willing to cooperate with your actions, provide relevant information, and strive to destroy this smuggling disguised as a national entrepreneur. "
Yu Xinyuan said that he was cooperating with the special team, but what he meant was that he still hoped that they could independently investigate Feng Yuxuan's case. After all, they could smuggle foreign antiques, and their value would not be less than several hundred million.
Xu Zheng naturally knew this. He actually didn't want to take advantage of the Liuhe District Bureau, so he looked at Jian Xueqing and Liao Hai.
They are all human beings, and Liao Hai naturally understood. He smiled and said: "After the arrest, the special team only asked Feng Yuxuan about bone china. As for other things he committed, your branch should independently complete it."
Jian Xueqing also meant the same thing. After all, the net had been cast for several months. "The soldiers are very quick. Let's discuss the action to arrest Feng Yuxuan now."
Judging from the information, Feng Yuxuan is about the same age as Chang Zhongquan, only two years younger than him. Chang Zhongquan has been single all his life, but he is not. He has a son and a daughter, is also a grandfather and grandpa, and has tens of millions of assets. , living in a high-end community in Liuhe District.
It was around eight o'clock in the evening, and Feng Yuxuan should be at home, so everyone discussed it and instead of calling in the special police, members of the special team and the Liuhe District Criminal Police Brigade formed a six-person team to arrest him at his home.
A group of people had to be sent to blockade his research institute and the associated ceramics factory to prevent anyone from damaging the site.
At the same time, several porcelain masters and senior management leaders at the institute must be controlled... But these are all Yu Xinyuan's affairs. Xu Zheng only asked Feng Yuxuan about bone china.
An action plan was drawn up, a search warrant and an arrest warrant were obtained from the prosecutor's office, and then everyone started acting according to the plan.
The team that captured Feng Yuxuan was led by Xu Zheng. At 9:30 p.m., a six-person team arrived at the community where Feng Yuxuan lived. They lived on the first floor and had a courtyard with a front yard of more than 80 square meters. Under the leadership of the property management Next, when they arrived, they happened to encounter the client playing games in the courtyard with his grandson.
Through the fence, Feng Yuxuan saw the property manager personally leading people to stand outside his house, waiting for him to go out. He had a bad idea in his mind and froze in place for a moment.
He waited until his grandson pulled his sleeve impatiently before he reacted and coaxed his grandson into the room first. He straightened his clothes and faced Xu Zheng and his group with a calm expression...
The process of arresting Feng Yuxuan was very smooth. After all, this kind of person has a family and a business, and he keeps cutting off many things. There is basically no possibility of extraneous matters. Of course, he was not arrested in the name of firing bone china, but because he was suspected of forging antiques and Smuggled eucalyptus.
After all, the arrest was outside the door, and they cooperated. For the sake of the reputation of the Feng family, Xu Zheng asked his colleagues to take Director Feng out quickly. He led others and knocked on the Feng family's door. He was arrested. , still need to be searched.
"What are you doing? You are forcing your way into a house. I'm going to sue you. Son, call District Chief Song immediately and tell these people to go back."
When Feng Yuxuan's wife learned that her husband had been arrested by the police and that they were going to search her home, she immediately sat down at Xu Zheng's feet and started acting up, even asking her son to contact someone.
Xu Zheng naturally pretended not to hear. He had seen this kind of arresting people and searching their homes many times. He did not feel sorry for the old lady, let alone whether she had not reported the information or participated in the crime.
Even though she was living a pleasant life relying on Feng Yuxuan's illegal gains, there was nothing pitiful about her. Now she was trying to stop the police from handling the case. How could Xu Zheng have a good attitude towards her?
Fortunately, her son and daughter-in-law were sensible and grabbed the old lady sitting on the ground, "Mom, this is a police incident. No one has the right to stop it. Please don't make trouble, it's useless."
Xu Zheng heard the Feng family's son whispering advice to his mother, and saw the old lady closing her eyes and wailing. He quickly waved for others to start searching.
During the re-examination, the upper and lower floors were nearly 300 square meters. It took more than half an hour to search them all. In addition to Xu Zheng, he also had Zhou Fangben and Gu Jia. The other three people except Yu Xinyuan were all from the Liuhe District Criminal Police Brigade.
The two parties look for each other to find the evidence they need.
Xu Zheng and the others were lucky. Finally, they found a set of imitation Kangxi Twelve Flower God Cups in a secret compartment of Feng Yuxuan's study bookshelf. Under the light of a flashlight, the porcelain was like a lampshade, and the peonies depicted on the porcelain were projected on the study wall. It's so beautiful, I guess if it uses colored light, it will be as lifelike as possible.
After confirming that this was bone china, or possibly human bone china, Xu Zheng was overjoyed. He immediately reported it to his leader, and then arranged for Long Chuchu and Yao Keer to act according to plan, making sure that their special team arrested people tonight. Everyone in the entire province knew about it.
