Chapter 193 Prohibited Sales

"Mr. Liang, it's off duty time now. What can I do?"

Zhen Xuelan answered the phone and spoke to the person on the phone in a lukewarm tone.

At first, when Zhen Xuelan saw the caller ID, the expression on her face was just a bit disgusting. From her tone, she probably disliked those people who talked about work after get off work hours.

However, this expression only lasted for a short while, because immediately after, the expression on Zhen Xuelan's face froze.

"What did you say?!"

It seemed that what happened on the phone was so surprising that she forgot to lower her voice on the phone for a moment, which immediately attracted the glances of the couples who were still dining at the tables next to her.

But then, Zhen Xuelan realized her gaffe, and quickly covered her mouth with her hand, whispering to the phone: "Okay, I understand, I'll go back right away."

Jun Chengzong was also very curious when he saw Zhen Xuelan's reaction. He didn't know what happened that made her react like this.

Zhen Xuelan hung up the phone, stood up and said to Jun Chengzong: "Mr. Jun, you really hit the mark."

"The shareholders of the auction house just called me and said that someone died in the exhibition hall and asked me to deal with it quickly," Zhen Xuelan said, already holding her bag in her hand, "Do you want to come with me to see it?" one time?"

A life was lost?

When Jun Chengzong heard this, he suddenly felt bad. He quickly stood up and said to Zhen Xuelan, "Wait a minute, I'll go with you!"

After saying that, the two people hurriedly left the restaurant, got in the car and went straight to the Saint-Berry Auction House.

At first, Jun Chengzong heard that a life had occurred in the exhibition hall and thought it was related to Judy, so he secretly sent a message to Judy and asked if the "The Barber" had been destroyed.

Then, Jun Chengzong naturally got a positive answer.

Of course, Judy didn't know that the painting she had burned would grow on its own like a plant.

On the way, Zhen Xuelan briefly talked to Jun Chengzong about what happened in the exhibition hall.

The person who died in the exhibition hall was the natural guard on duty. The police have now arrived at the scene, and the specific situation is still under investigation.

For some reason, Jun Chengzong always had a vague premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the Saint-Berry Auction House and listened to the police handling the scene describing the situation of the deceased, Jun Chengzong immediately felt that something was wrong.

Cutting the throat, it is suspected that he saw the murderer's face before he died.

The police investigated the surveillance of the Saint-Berry auction house, but the area where the deceased died happened to be in the blind spot of the surveillance, and the murderer was not seen at all.

However, what the police find incomprehensible is that they retrieved surveillance videos from several areas connected to this area, but did not see anyone appearing.

It is a coincidence that the area where the painting "The Barber" is displayed happens to be in the blind spot of surveillance on both sides. It is for this reason that the barber in the painting kills people and Judy jumps down from above and cuts off the painting. None of the scenes were captured by surveillance cameras.

"Comrade police, are there any other details?" After the police told Zhen Xuelan the basic situation, Jun Chengzong hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Did the deceased say anything before he died?"

When the policeman heard Jun Chengzong's question, he picked up the book he had used to make notes and flipped through it with some confusion, and said, "Yes, according to another guard's recollection, before the incident, the deceased used the intercom to ask him, 'That painting?'" How many people are there, four or five, things like that."

Hearing what the police said, Zhen Xuelan was stunned.

"Okay, thank you." Jun Chengzong thanked the police and immediately pulled Zhen Xuelan aside.

"You heard it too, the problem lies in that painting." Jun Chengzong pulled Zhen Xuelan aside and whispered to her.

Zhen Xuelan nodded blankly. She knew very well that there were clearly five people in the painting "The Barber", and there was absolutely no way it could be four.

Now, even if Zhen Xuelan couldn't believe it, she could only choose to believe it.

After the police finished handling the scene and took away the body of the deceased Hu Jiarui, Jun Chengzong and Zhen Xuelan came to the exhibition hall.

Because there was an auction to be held the next day, even if something like this happened, other departments of the auction house did not care about mourning and had to work overtime to clean up the blood stains on the scene.

Because the neck was cut open by the razor, some of the blood spattered out and spilled onto the artworks next to it. It is estimated that it will take time and money to repair it, and the damage caused is definitely not a small amount.

However, the first thing that must be resolved is the "Head Barber", otherwise the losses that may result in the future will definitely exceed this.

Jun Chengzong and Zhen Xuelan didn't have time to wait until the scene was cleaned up, so they entered the exhibition hall first and saw the intact "The Barber".

Seeing the painting still intact, the most surprised person was Jun Chengzong.

The feedback he got from Judy was that the painting had been destroyed, but how could the painting reappear here at this time?

After Jun Chengzong was sure that he could enter the scene, he sent a message to Judy, and Judy had already arrived at the Saint-Berry Auction House at this time.

"What's wrong, George?" Judy hurriedly walked into the Saint-Berry Auction House, but she caught a glimpse of "The Barber" placed on the display shelf.

When Jun Chengzong saw Judy coming, he no longer had any intention of hiding anything, and told Zhen Xuelan about their previous theft of paintings.

In order to prove that the painting was intact, Zhen Xuelan personally came forward to identify it. There was no way to see any tear marks on the painting.

Judy looked at "The Barber" placed on the easel in disbelief, and said to Jun Chengzong and Zhen Xuelan: "I have obviously cut off the painting and burned it, but I don't know why it is still there. "

"Besides, nothing happened when I came." Judy looked at Jun Chengzong and the others, really puzzled.

Facing such a thing for the first time, Zhen Xuelan could only listen quietly beside them, not knowing what to do at all.

But Jun Chengzong was already used to seeing strong winds and waves. After realizing that the path of burning paintings was blocked, he quickly thought of other possibilities.

"Nothing is impossible. This shows that this painting is not the carrier of the marginal spirit. It seems that if you want to put this marginal spirit to rest, you still have to start with the barber himself." As he said that, Jun Chengzong raised his hand and pointed. The painting "The Barber" in the distance.

"Then...how can I help?" At this moment, Zhen Xuelan suddenly spoke and asked.

"You?" Judy was stunned, and her tone suddenly showed a little disdain and contempt.

Indeed, this kind of matter still has to be handled by professionals like them. If others rashly participate in this kind of thing, the result is likely to be increased casualties.

However, Jun Chengzong did not think so.

"Actually, there is really one thing that you must do." Jun Chengzong turned his head and said to Zhen Xuelan.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Xuelan nodded quickly and told Jun Chengzong to just follow his instructions.

"This painting, from now on, is prohibited from sale and must be arranged in a separate space. Do not let anyone get close to it."
