Chapter 1138: Trouble-ridden
Lin Ran just took a cursory glance at it, and it didn't look like a fake.
Luo Yu asked sharply: "Liu Yang, where did these things come from?"
The warehouse manager was so frightened that he lost his mind and said hurriedly: "Boss, I don't know. I don't remember receiving this kind of thing."
"You damn duck has a tough mouth." The researcher squatted down proudly, but he didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly.
He must take advantage of this opportunity to make Luo Yu completely unable to step down.
It was natural for the warehouse manager to be frightened, and it didn't look like he was lying.
Lin Ran noticed the list next to it, which said it was sent to an island country in Southeast Asia.
The consignor's name was scrawled, seemingly on purpose.
Moreover, the shipping address is also written very casually.
In this era, ID cards are not yet popular. Sending international goods usually requires procedures from relevant departments.
But it’s too troublesome, and the freight company will also provide convenience to some regular customers.
The other party may have taken advantage of this loophole.
It's just possible.
Lin Ran felt that Luo Yu, whose words and deeds were inconsistent, was the most suspicious.
The researcher has squatted down, took out a small flashlight, and studied the porcelain.
The others were watching, seemingly trusting his skills.
This is a small porcelain bottle ten centimeters high. It has a totem of unicorn on the outside. It has certain painting skills.
The researcher looked back and forth and said, "This is pastel porcelain from the Qing Dynasty. It is a product of the official kiln. The price is not low."
After he said this, he glanced at Luo Yu meaningfully, "The official kiln products of the Qing Dynasty cannot be shipped out of the country casually."
Luo Yu's expression changed slightly and he said, "How about you take a closer look?"
"You are so stubborn." The researcher handed the porcelain to the investigator and said, "Just the fact that this item was shipped to a Southeast Asian country is enough to convict you. Don't tell me that you don't understand the crime of smuggling cultural relics."
The warehouse manager showed a surprised expression and said: "The goods are packed by the customer, and we are only responsible for receiving them. We didn't even know there were hidden compartments inside."
Others didn't care about what he said. Fan Wenjian walked up to him and said, "Show me the transportation bill."
The warehouse manager looked at Luo Yu tremblingly. This kind of information related to customers cannot be displayed casually, unless the boss allows it.
"Show him." Luo Yu said lightly.
The warehouse manager whispered in his ear: "Boss, this was sent directly by Mr. Huo. I didn't go through the handover procedures at all."
It's not that he didn't want to show Fan Wenjian, but he was operating in violation of regulations.
He also suddenly realized that he had been tricked by the Huo family.
As long-term partners, why would they do this to themselves?
Fan Wenjian emphasized again: "Where are the procedures? Come out and let me take a look!"
Luo Yu said with a smile: "The formalities haven't been completed yet, why don't I send it to you later."
"No need to wait later, you come back with me to accept the investigation."
I am not going to look at other cultural relics. Since there is one contraband, the others must not be simple.
Fan Wenjian knows that there is no smoke without fire.
"Wait a moment." Luo Yu still looked calm, "Who among you is in charge?"
"That's me." Fan Wenjian showed his business card. "It's impossible for you to bribe me. Come back with us and accept the investigation. Be honest and tell the person behind the scenes, and we can deal with it leniently."
"You follow me to the office, and I'll find you the information." Luo Yu waved to him.
Fan Wenjian has actually seen many people like this. Their argument is just a stop-gap measure and just delaying time.
When they get to the office, they will probably bribe him with money to keep him quiet.
It's a pity that Fan Wenjian thinks that he is upright and will not be bribed.
He said sternly: "I have a recording device with me. If you do anything, it will only increase your punishment."
"Of course, please." Luo Yu made an invitation gesture.
Lin Ran suddenly felt that he had been tricked again and was inexplicably involved in a storm.
But his hearing is very good, and he is sure that he just heard the word Hoxha.
Who is Hoxha?
The big family members who participated in the treasure fighting meeting yesterday are also people who understand cultural relics.
Their family is not short of money, and I have not heard that they have any plans to immigrate. Why should they transport cultural relics out of the country?
It's not the cultural relic bought at yesterday's auction.
Besides...it was the Ministry of Culture and Culture who organized the auction. How could they possibly involve people who smuggled cultural relics?
There must be something tricky in this.
Lin Ran came to the wooden box. Because Fan Wenjian was going to investigate the procedures, the researcher also took advantage of the situation to study other cultural relics.
Lin Ran said to the investigator who was about to put the porcelain bottle into the black leather bag, "Can you show me the porcelain bottle?"
Of course the investigator refused.
Lin Ran said: "I am a researcher at the Palace Museum, and I think there is something wrong with this porcelain vase."
He suddenly announced his home address, and the investigator was also stunned.
This young man entered the warehouse with Luo Yu, who claimed to be the boss, and turned out to be a researcher at the Palace Museum?
Could it be that the guards committed theft?
He suddenly felt hesitant, and Lin Ran threw out Fang Xiaohai's name.
"I know the head of the Beijing Special Investigation Bureau."
Lin Ran originally wanted to take out his business card, but he rummaged in his wallet for a long time and couldn't find it.
In the future, you should keep the business cards of such people. After all, we don’t have mobile phones now, so we can’t call them directly to check their authenticity.
I finally understand why people in this era have the habit of giving out business cards.
The researcher stood up and sneered: "Just you? Researcher of the Palace Museum? Which department are you in?"
Lin Ran replied: "I am not a full-time researcher, but Director Tang's assistant."
"What a strong tone." The researcher still wanted to make things difficult.
But the investigator had already handed the porcelain bottle to Lin Ran. He felt that Lin Ran was definitely not an ordinary person if he could name the person in charge of the investigation bureau.
Their department does not make public announcements to the outside world and is a hidden department.
Even if you go to investigate the committee members, you will probably not be able to find them.
Only their insiders know these names.
Lin Ran nodded slightly to the investigator, took the porcelain bottle, held it with one hand, and took out a miniature flashlight from his pocket. His movements and demeanor were the same as those of a researcher.
The investigators breathed a sigh of relief.
The researcher originally wanted to stop him, but he thought he was holding Qing Dynasty official kiln porcelain in his hand. If he got angry and dropped the porcelain, the loss would be heavy.
Lin Ran watched it several times and laughed.
He returned the porcelain to the investigator and said, "I think you may have misunderstood. This is indeed pastel, but it is not a product of an official kiln, but an ordinary vase."
"Nonsense, how come Qing Dynasty pastels are not products of official kilns?" The researcher thought that Lin Ran was crazy and did not match the preface to the post.
"It is pastel, but it was not produced in the Qing Dynasty." Lin Ran smiled and said, "Haven't you heard of Shengshi Craftsmanship? This is just a handicraft, just a high imitation."
