Qu Mingcong twitched the corners of his mouth and was speechless.
This guy was obviously suspicious, and he seemed to be trying to hide it.
He would like to see how long He Qile is ready to perform. Anyway, no matter whether the case can be investigated clearly or not, it will only take two weeks in total, and he can afford to wait.
Arrived on the fourth floor.
There are no tourists here at all. Both the East and West Buildings are office areas. It is not clear what kind of business they handle. However, when Qu Mingcong followed a group of people to the accident site, he passed by several offices with many porcelain and packing wood piled inside.
shelf.
Qu Mingcong didn't understand art and couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, but just by looking at these items crowded together, he could tell that they were definitely not genuine.
Ding Zhaolin, who was walking in front, introduced: "This is the workshop, which mainly performs restoration work on artworks. The warehouse is also here, where restoration materials and high-quality imitations are stored."
When passing by a room, Ding Zhaolin stopped. Through the glass wall, he pointed to an item on the workbench inside with a smile and said: "Did you see that? The gold crown inlaid with gems unearthed from the Danfei coffin, although it is a high imitation.
It’s a replica, but the materials are all genuine, including gold and various gemstones, plus the value of the craftsmanship, the price is at least several hundred thousand.”
Ding Zhaolin is very proud of his collection. Even if it is just a replica, he is proud of it and talks about it with joy.
"Have you ever heard of Concubine Dan? She was originally a princess of a certain tribe, and she married a prince as his concubine. Legend has it that she was very beautiful, but she didn't like to smile. In order to make the beauty smile, the prince gave her all kinds of jewelry, but only
This golden crown inlaid with precious stones is Concubine Dan’s favorite.” Ding Zhaolin turned around and smiled at them, “There is also a folk saying that the reason why this golden crown inlaid with precious stones made Concubine Dan happy is because the prince found a profound magician.
Casting a spell on the golden crown can make the person who owns the golden crown dream and have all his wishes come true."
——The layout of the studio is the same as the other rooms in the corridor they saw when they walked along the way. It is messy and crowded. There are various types of porcelain, brushes, jars, and wooden shelves on the table. Only in front of the window
A wooden table left space for nothing.
Qu Mingcong looked up and saw that there was no curtain rod above the window.
Fresh air rushed in, dispelling the long-term dullness in the room.
"What is the Crying Girl?" Pan Fang didn't know much about this aspect and asked doubtfully, "Is the urban legend related to Dina's suicide?"
As Ding Zhaolin spoke, he picked up a porcelain vase on the diagonal side of the window, held it in his palm, turned the vase skillfully in a circle, and said: "Blue and white antique porcelain, this one imitates the blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty. Yuan Dynasty porcelain is in
The formula of porcelain clay in the Tang and Song Dynasties was improved, so the porcelain body has a higher fineness and whiteness. The glaze is transparent and glassy, with a bluish color and a sense of elegance and tranquility. Although it is an antique porcelain, it is also
It is truly a work of art, beautiful, isn’t it?”
Mei Chao suddenly realized, "Ah... I think I've heard of it. Is it a popular urban legend recently?"
The window on the right is covered with thick dark curtains, and the wooden table in front of the window is filled with bottles of varying heights. If you want to open the window, you must move these bottles away and then open the curtains.
,very inconvenient.
Ding Zhaolin looked back at both sides, "Oh... I asked someone to remove the curtains here. There are too many porcelains in the room. If the wind blows when the window is opened for ventilation, the curtains will be blown up and it will easily knock over the porcelain in the room.
"
Qu Mingcong: “…………”
Pan Fang walked to the window, tried the thickness of the wooden table, and then leaned forward to look under the window.
Qu Mingcong felt that Mr. Ding would probably be able to chat with Wang Wei very well.
It is a museum after all, and the height of the lobby on the first floor alone is nearly six meters.
Qu Mingcong also looked down. Directly under the window was a concrete floor without any cover. If he fell, he would definitely die.
Ding Zhaolin paused in speaking, with a look of hesitation on his face, and stopped talking.
Mei Chao couldn't help but ask: "What else should be added?"
Ding Zhaolin walked around a wooden table in the middle of the room, walked to the window, and reached out to open the sealed glass window.
Cao Xiuwen frowned and said, "I have heard of it, but I don't remember the specific content."
He rubbed the pattern on the porcelain bottle a few times, and then gently put it down, with a smile of enjoyment on his lips. It was obvious that he liked the things here very much.
The assistant took the key and stepped forward to open the door.
Ding Zhaolin nodded when he heard this, "The police did mention at the time that it might be an accident. The autopsy results given by the forensic doctor also confirmed that the state of the body was consistent with the characteristics of a fall. It is possible that Ding Na stepped on the wooden table to do something.
But he accidentally knocked over the porcelain on the table, and he accidentally stepped on the air and fell off. However, the rumors spread so much that almost no one believed that it was an accident. Plus..."
"Why do the windows in this room have curtains on one side and no curtains on the other?" Qu Mingcong asked.
"Yes, it's a pity that it was too badly damaged when it was excavated from the tomb, so the replica can only be displayed." Ding Zhaolin said, standing in front of the door of the front room, "This is Nana's personal studio. The accident
After it happened, I had people lock the room, so the layout inside is basically the same as before."
The window Ding Zhaolin opened just now had no curtains.
Qu Mingcong silently lowered the corner of his mouth and said: "In the legend of the crying girl, if you walk alone in the corridor in the middle of the night, you will hear a strange woman crying. The sound is extremely scary and harsh. If the person who hears it complains, she will cry.
The girl will show up."
He asked Ding Zhaolin: "If there is no obvious reason for suicide, it should not be ruled out as an accident. What did the police say when they came to investigate?"
However, Qu Mingcong, Mei Chao and others were all speechless.
"Although it is said to be on the fourth floor... the actual height is estimated to be about 20 meters. There are no protective bars on the windows. You can jump down while standing on the wooden table. It is too convenient for a person who wants to commit suicide." He said.
Mei Chao cheered from the front and said with a smile: "With such a good thing, I guess I just want to sleep for a long time."
In their eyes, the "artwork" here is just a pile of porcelain cups, bowls and vases, and they really can't appreciate it.
Ding Zhaolin glanced at them, with a forced smile on his old face, and said slowly: "I wonder if you have heard of a rumor... Do you know about the crying girl?"
Qu Mingcong noticed that this room had two windows, located on the left and right sides of the same wall.
"Yes, that's the legend." Ding Zhaolin smiled bitterly, "Unfortunately, before Ding Na died, the legend of the Crying Girl began to circulate in the museum, but the original version was different from what you hear now.
"
Qu Mingcong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "The original version?"
"Yes." Ding Zhaolin turned around and walked towards another closed window. Among the piles of porcelain bottles, he found a piece of porcelain covered with old cotton cloth.
He gently pinched a corner of the cotton cloth, intending to open it, but his expression showed some inexplicable nervousness.
Seeing this, other people in the room turned their attention to the mysterious piece of porcelain——
