    The hall has gathered 40 to 50 Chinese and foreign photographers. They are all elegantly dressed and have elegant expressions. They look like they are either rich or noble, and they are very conceited in antiques.  Foreigners account for about a quarter, and they are all very quiet.  The Chinese photographers are more familiar with each other, and most of them are whispering affectionately. It can be seen that they are regular customers who often frequent similar occasions.  Gao Jianliang had arrived first and was talking to Deng Baiyan with Zhenzhen. In addition, there were two male police detectives sitting quietly in the last row.  Xie Kai glanced briefly and went straight to Gao Jian and the other three.  When Gao Jianliang and Zhenzhen saw him coming, they both turned around with two beautiful faces.  Deng Baiyan also showed a generous smile, and greeted him cordially: "Welcome, welcome, why are you late, Sir Xie?"  But I found a fake, how could I have the nerve to come earlier? If I didn¡¯t cooperate with my wife, I wouldn¡¯t dare to come. Boss Deng, don¡¯t make fun of me.¡± Deng Baiyan laughed and said, ¡°Xie Xia is too modest.  "Well, how can you blame Brother Xie? It really makes Deng feel bad that the two of you have taken such trouble."  As long as you don't mind, sir." Deng Baiyan laughed and said, "Deng is so lucky to have the famous Qixi Miao Detective escorting him, so why should he mind?" Gao Jianliang smiled lightly and said nothing.  Xie Kai said: "Why don't you see Mr. Amplov? He is the owner of today's auction, he will not show up, right?" Deng Baiyan pointed and said: "Of course not, Mr. Amplov is resting inside and will come out soon.  Xie Kai followed his gesture and saw a few chairs placed by the fence on the second floor. It seemed that Amplov wanted to watch from a high position.  Deng Baiyan added: "By the way, although Master Wen's paintings have not been recovered, the finale today is also the master's work, Manet's "Girl Bathing". Is Brother Xie interested?" Xie Kai said: "Manet  "The painting should be very expensive, right?" Deng Baiyan smiled slightly and said, "Of course, the starting price is fifteen million, or US dollars." Xie Kai chuckled and said, "I said I would spend tens of millions to buy your painting.  It means Hong Kong dollars. The starting price is 15 million US dollars. Wouldn¡¯t it cost 30 million dollars? I can¡¯t afford it in Hong Kong dollars.¡± Deng Baiyan also said with a smile: ¡°There is no way, the price of oil paintings is like this.  If you are a bit famous, you can easily get it for 20 to 30 million, and the high bid is over 100 million, which is really high."  , don¡¯t you make more money?¡± Deng Baiyan laughed and said, ¡°It¡¯s true that life is happy when we talk to Brother Xie. It¡¯s not even possible for Deng to be happy.¡± Xie Kai stopped at the right time and laughed with him.  After the greetings were finished, Deng Baiyan asked a few people to sit down, saying that he would greet other patrons.  Then he left.  The three of them sat down, and Gao Jianliang asked softly: "That girl who came in with you just now, is that the little thief?"  Asked: "Why is she gone?" Xie Kai said: "Go to the stepping area, don't worry." He also asked: "Where are your people? Are they all ready?" Gao Jianjing glanced out the window: "They are all outside.  Well, he will come in when the time comes. The premise is that you didn¡¯t screw up.¡± Xie Kai smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s definitely not right. Just wait and catch it.¡± Gao Jianliang gave him a small look and said nothing more.  Zhenzhen, who had been silent for a long time, said: "Madam, the case will be solved in a while. Let's go somewhere to have fun and celebrate it?"  What does it have to do with you? Hurry up and put away your frivolous behavior." Zhenzhen said aggrievedly: "Why? I haven't bothered you for several days." Gao Jian said: "You  Did you know that it¡¯s only been a few days? You shouldn¡¯t be harassing" Xie Kaitou said, "Can you not make noises whenever we meet?" Zhenzhen said as if she was relying on others.  "That's right, let's just quarrel at home. We also quarrel when we are working on a case. You even said that you would leave me alone, which is becoming less and less important."  , Amplov put on a coat very pretentiously and came out surrounded by several bodyguards.  Fang glanced at her and shut his mouth.  At the same time, Dingdang also came back quietly, made a weird ok gesture to Xie Kai, then sat in a corner and waited for the show to unfold.    ¡ó¡ó¡ó¡ó¡ó With the appearance of Amplov, the auction officially began.  Deng Baiyan introduced Amplov ceremoniously, but most of the auctioneers were more concerned about the items being auctioned than the owners of the items, so it did not cause much response.  However, when Amplov saw Xie Kai, he gave him an extra sly and profound smile, which became the only highlight of the opening introduction.  Then the role was changed to the auction house manager and the formal auction process entered.  Just like a play, the auction will also use some worthless items as a prelude, and finally the finale item.  The first item in the sale is a pair of European medieval silver candlesticks said to have been used by Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, when he presided over the first World's Fair.  Although Deng Baiyan boasted about it, but for a collection of rare and expensive items, the number of such items is too much, and the value is really limited. Not to mention that Prince Albert used it in hosting the exhibition, even if he came with Victoria  The queen used it in bed, but it only added to the story and did not increase the collection value.  The auction that followed was not worth mentioning either. The auction lady in a short cheongsam brought tableware, crosses, brooches and other mediocre items back and forth. Everyone was bored and drowsy. Many people took pictures of the items and therefore  Money trades for time, I hope the lengthy back-up session will be over soon.  After an hour of grinding, we took pictures of more than ten pieces of garbage, and one-third of them were rejected. Only then did Deng Baiyan return to the stage, which also meant that it was time for the rare objects to appear, and everyone cheered up.  Deng Baiyan bowed gracefully and said calmly: "Everyone, here comes the last item of this auction, but before that, I want to express my apology to you. Most of you here are old friends of Deng. I  I know that many of my friends came here for Master Wen Zhengming¡¯s "Songshan Creek Journey". However, it is sad that this long-lost masterpiece was sadly stolen before the auction" This case has not been reported by the media.  The photographers were still unaware of the theft, and were all surprised for a moment.  Deng Baiyan added hurriedly: "But don't worry, everyone, the case is being investigated by Police Officer Gao Jianliang and Xie Kaixia. With these two, the case will be solved as soon as possible. Once the painting is recovered, it will continue to be auctioned at this auction house."  As he spoke, he generously extended his fingers to Gao Jianlianghe.  Xie Kai stood up proudly: "Yes, originally this painting was recovered, but I didn't expect that the thief was so cunning that he lost the bag and recovered a counterfeit." Then he chuckled and added: "But this counterfeit,  It was also made by an expert, and his brushwork and painting skills are almost the same as those of Master Wen, but the material is a bit different, right, Boss Deng?" Deng Baiyan just pointed at it casually, but Xie Kai actually stood up and was shocked.  He nodded and said, "That's right."  There is no more content.  Xie Kai can say it casually, but everyone here is a collector, and they are here for this painting, but they will not listen casually. Someone immediately said: "In this case, Boss Deng, just take it out and let everyone know."  Eyes." As soon as this statement came out, everyone's interest was immediately aroused, and they all agreed: "Yes, Lao Deng, this painting has only been seen in legends, and there is not even a painting. Show it to everyone." Deng Baiyan was busy.  Hand said: "Everyone, everyone, this painting is a police evidence. It is only temporarily stored somewhere in Deng. Is it difficult to take it out at will? Please forgive me." Without pausing, he added: "The next one will be auctioned.  It is also a work by a master. It is "Girl Bathing" by the European Impressionist master Manet. This work is in Europe" No matter where the crowd was willing to listen, someone immediately interrupted: "We don't look at Western paintings, but Chinese paintings. What do you think?  We came here and made a lot of fun to cheat money, but now we say that the painting is lost, and we don¡¯t even show it as a fake. What are we doing?¡± Another person said: ¡°It¡¯s just that we have been friends with you for many years, and I have patronized you a lot.  Even the fakes are hidden, which is very unloyal. " People from Guangdong and Hong Kong are notorious for their stubbornness. They waved their old fists and shouted, and they didn't give up until they couldn't see the painting.  , completely lost the grace that a gentleman should have, and the auction site was in chaos.  Deng Baiyan frowned, and Amplov on the second floor was also very unhappy. They all complained about Xie Kai, thinking that saying "preserve evidence" at this time, isn't this causing trouble?  However, Gao Jianliang and Zhenzhen wanted to laugh, and they glanced away in unison, secretly thinking that they should let him forget it. The current situation was exactly as he thought.  After thanking him, Shi Shiran stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, don't worry, I just asked Inspector Gao. Inspector Gao said that the Hong Kong police are the most humane, and you are all old friends of Boss Deng. Deng  The boss is so helpful, how can he have nothing to do with his friends???  So she has agreed to let everyone see the painting, and now it depends on what Boss Deng wants.  "He also waved his arms and gave instructions to Deng Baiyan to sit down and invite him. "You know even if you don't say it, everyone is even more excited, shouting: "Old Deng, the police have agreed, now you have nothing to say, take it out quickly,  Let everyone take notice, and don¡¯t shirk it anymore.  " Deng Baiyan wanted to beat him up, but what else could he say, so he could only say: "In this case, it is better for Deng to be respectful than obey his orders.  " He glanced away sadly, asked someone to explain, and asked him to go get the painting.
