Volume 3: The Mystery in the Picture Chapter 187: Lian Bufan’s Secret
Hang Tianyi knew that the time of death and fatal injuries were basically certain, and he should not be able to detect anything else useful.
But this is a process. In addition, there may be something missing, so I nodded.
Liu Ying took the bodies of Ma Huafeng and Fan Dinghua back for examination, and Hang Tianyi stayed to ask.
When asked, everyone said that except Ma Huafeng, there was no other guest in Rongbaozhai today except Ma Huafeng.
Such a result was expected, but it also proved the murderer's skill.
Of course, it is also certain that Fan Dinghua's relationship with this person is probably extremely close.
Otherwise, when this person arrives and no servant comes in to report, he will at least be surprised and alert. In this way, it is impossible for him to be unprepared at all.
If such a person is not from Rongbaozhai, Hang Tianyi thinks it is a ghost.
However, after some questioning, Hang Tianyi had seen all the people in Rongbaozhai, and they simply did not have the strength to kill Fan Dinghua and Ma Huafeng with one sword.
This case is getting more and more strange!
Hang Tianyi thought for a while, looked up at the people gathered in Rongbaozhai, and sighed secretly.
Fan Dinghua's Rongbaozhai, after his death, was not much better than Ye Zhenzhen's Jade Pear Garden. Now everyone in Rongbaozhai has a sad look on their faces.
They obviously won't feel any sadness because Fan Dinghua was killed.
This also shows that in normal times, Fan Dinghua treats these servants as just following people and has no emotions at all.
At this moment, Lian Bufan's voice came from outside: "Is anyone here?"
Rongbaozhai usually has someone guarding the door, but at this time, everyone was gathered in the open space in front of the hall by Hang Tianyi.
Hang Tianyi came to his senses and walked out of the door, only to see Lian Bufan and Gu Yuanci standing side by side in front of the door.
"Brother Hang, what's going on in Rongbaozhai? There's not even a gatekeeper?" Lian Bufan asked.
Hang Tianyi said: "You are here to see Shopkeeper Fan?"
"Really? I had something to do, so I came to see him. I met the painting madman in the alley ahead, so we came together!" Lian Bufan said.
"Shopkeeper Fan sent someone to Heaven and Earth to ask me to come over and identify a calligraphy and painting!" Gu Yuanci also said.
"Did something happen?" Lian Bufan asked.
Hang Tianyi always felt strange at this time, but he couldn't tell what was strange.
"Shopkeeper Fan and Ma Huafeng were killed in the same room!" Hang Tianyi said.
"What?" Lian Bufan's eyes were full of shock.
Hang Tianyi saw all Fan Dinghua's shock, and intuitively told him that there must be some ulterior secret between Lian Bufan and Fan Dinghua.
"Brother, can you lend me a moment to speak?" Hang Tianyi said.
Lian Bufan came back to his senses, nodded, and walked into Rongbaozhai together.
In the reception room of Rongbaozhai, Hang Tianyi got straight to the point: "Brother Lian, it's time for you to tell the truth now, right? What exactly are you and Shopkeeper Fan cooperating on?"
Lian Bufan sighed and smiled bitterly: "You can still see that, yes, Shopkeeper Fan and I do cooperate. To be precise, Shopkeeper Fan, I, Mr. Wu, and Zhou Kui work together!"
When Hang Tianyi heard this, he was definitely lying if he said he was not shocked. However, he believed that Lian Bufan and the Shuzhou Lin family should not be involved.
Lian Bufan continued: "Brother Hang should know that I am very obsessed with the fairy in the painting and believe in the existence of the fairy in the painting. Therefore, I have been looking for the fairy in the painting. Three months ago, Shopkeeper Fan and Zhou
The shopkeeper, Mr. Wu, the escort chief came to me and said that we could cooperate. I was looking for the fairy in the painting, but they were looking for the treasure of the Five Beautiful Pictures and the mystery of immortality!"
"In other words, that auction was just a show? And you were also fooling me back then?" Hang Tianyi looked at Lian Bufan and said calmly.
Lian Bufan didn't want to admit it, but it was obviously true.
"So why did you come here today?" Hang Tianyi asked.
Lian Bufan nodded: "Shopkeeper Fan sent someone to deliver a letter to me this morning, saying that he invited Ma Huafeng and Madman Hua to come with him for identification, and said that the results may be available today!"
Hang Tianyi said: "Shopkeeper Fan also invited Master Gu?"
"Yeah? We met in front and came all the way!" Lian Bufan said.
Hang Tianyi fell silent. He thought for a while and asked, "Do you know who else Shopkeeper Fan invited besides Ma Huafeng and Master Gu?"
"Fan Dinghua is a leader in the antique industry. For a person like him, the treasure appraisers he hires are naturally among the best. Although I don't know who he hired today, but usually they are Painting Maniac and Ma Huafeng!
" Lian Bufan said.
Hang Tianyi nodded: "You don't have anything else to hide from me, do you?"
Lian Bufan shook his head: "What are you hiding from you? When Mr. Wu and Shopkeeper Zhou were killed, I just thought that someone was coveting the five beautiful pictures, or it was a personal grudge. I didn't know all this until I met you.
It’s not that simple. I also came to see Shopkeeper Fan at that time and asked him if he had anything to do with the murder case you were investigating. He swore at that time and now..."
Hang Tianyi said: "You don't seem to be someone who trusts others easily, right?"
"I did check Shopkeeper Fan secretly, but found nothing!" Lian Bufan said.
Hang Tianyi thought to himself, even I haven't found out. Although it is true that he is the richest man in the world, there are many things that the government has that are beyond your reach.
Lian Bufan's secrets solved some of Hang Tianyi's doubts, but they were not very helpful.
At the same time, it also made Hang Tianyi wary. These big guys usually have good friends and bad friends, but it's hard to say what secrets they hide.
If you directly deceive people, it is scary to think about it. No matter what, you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the heart of guarding against others.
"Brother Hang, I lied to you about what happened before. I'm sorry, but I really just wanted to find the fairy in the painting!" Lian Bufan looked sincere.
Hang Tianyi sighed secretly, he couldn't see through people like Bufan, and there was no need for him to continue to worry about these things.
"I know you have your own ideas, but have you ever thought about it. If you had told me earlier, maybe Shopkeeper Fan and Ma Huafeng would not have died today. Of course, there is karma in this world. Shopkeeper Fan and the others once
The things they have done and their current consequences are also the consequences they deserve!"
Hang Tianyi shouldn't have said these things. After all, he was a member of the government, but for some reason, he just couldn't say these words.
Lian Bufan was stunned when he heard this, and asked: "Cause and effect? Could it be that Shopkeeper Fan and the others were killed because they had done something ulterior, so someone came to take revenge?"
