"Framed?"

Mr. Xu looked at the ceiling with some emotion.

About eight years ago, there was a theft incident in the museum. At that time, a large number of bronze statues were missing. These were treasures of the museum. They were dug out from the Shaanxi Tomb. Not to mention the high price, simply It is the historical research value of these objects that far exceeds ordinary people's imagination.

The Sheriff's Department intervened in the investigation, but could not find any evidence.

Although the museum at that time was not as heavily guarded as it is now, it was not accessible to ordinary people, so people from the security department focused on the insiders.

The biggest target of suspicion is Chen Cheng, who has just entered the museum.

Chen Cheng naturally denied it. His family did not lack such money, and he was passionate about antiques, so it was impossible for him to steal the bronze statue and sell it.

At that time, everyone accepted his statement, but not long after, someone anonymously reported again, saying that Chen Cheng and several of his friends had done it.

After receiving the report letter, the public security department went directly to his home to investigate.

Unexpectedly, the bronze statue was not found, but a large number of checks were found from his bedside table, totaling a total of [-].

Regarding this money, Chen Cheng couldn't explain the reason at all and was hesitant.

Therefore, he was once again classified as a highly suspect subject and was taken directly to the security department and detained for seven days and nights.

In the end, he actually admitted to stealing the bronze statue.

Everyone in the museum was shocked, including Tang Lanxuan, who was originally going to fire him.

As a result, just when the verdict was about to be pronounced, another thing happened.

Someone was selling these bronze statues in Panjiayuan. People from the public security department followed the clues and brought this huge theft gang to justice.

After investigation, it was found that they had no relationship with Chen Cheng at all.

As for why he admitted to the security department that he had stolen, there was no explanation in the end.

However, the real culprit was found and he was naturally acquitted.

When he returned to the museum, the then director personally apologized to him, saying that this was not the museum's intention.

Chen Cheng also accepted this statement, but since then, his character has become more withdrawn.

After that incident, Mr. Xu could vaguely feel that Chen Cheng had other ideas. At that time, he also tried to persuade Chen Cheng, but the other party always spoke vaguely and had no intention of talking to him. .

Time passed day by day, and one day when I went to work, I found that Chen Cheng was no longer there.

At that time, Mr. Xu went to ask Tang Lanxuan what was going on, but Tang Lanxuan looked angry and said, "I don't have this apprentice."

"The next thing will happen in three years. I believe that if you come to me, Tang Lanxuan has already told you about this matter." Mr. Xu sighed heavily after finishing speaking.

He didn't know whether he was sad for Chen Cheng's experience or blaming himself for not standing up to defend Chen Cheng during that time.

Lin Ran lowered his head after listening. It turned out that there was such a thing, and the teacher never told him at all.

Not to mention it was ten years ago, there are still situations where people go to fight to get a fight. No wonder it feels like Chen Cheng has a grudge against the museum, and the good young man is inexplicably accused of it.

"Then what happened to the money in his bedside table?" Mr. Song asked. If it weren't for that money, he would naturally not be listed as a key suspect.

"I don't know that, and I haven't asked. After all, it's his own." Mr. Xu replied with a smile, "That's the whole thing. Now you can understand why Chen Cheng doesn't want to go back to the museum, right?" ?”

The two nodded, if such a thing had happened, the museum would indeed be a sad place for him, and he would not want to go back as a matter of course.

However, Lin Ran had another question: "It's understandable that he hates museums, but why did he send the Liushan Mirror to the museum and then send a message saying that he had forged it?"

He was puzzled, and Mr. Xu also looked confused.

"To be fair, Chen Cheng is indeed paranoid in some of his thoughts, but he never does things with any malice." After Mr. Xu finished speaking, he stood up and said, "My garden still needs to be pruned. If I don't get busy now, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time for dinner. If everything is okay, can you please leave first?"

His tone was very polite, and he clearly wanted to drive them away.

The investigation found no evidence, and the case was ultimately unsolved.

Lin Ran and Mr. Song looked at each other. They understood that Mr. Xu was unwilling to continue, and it was useless to beg him.

So, the two stood up, thanked him, and left Xu's hometown.

"Old Tang is also true. He has not told me about this matter for so many years." In fact, Mr. Song was not a researcher at the Palace Museum, but was transferred from the archaeological team, so he did not know about the whole matter.

Lin Ran used to be a staff member of the National Museum. He had heard some stories about the National Museum, but he had no idea about the National Palace Museum.

Moreover, this matter can be regarded as a scandal, and it is even more difficult for outsiders to know about it.

"What are you going to do next?" Mr. Song has already understood Lin Ran's thoughts. Mr. Xu's clues are basically broken. He is not a person who can be bribed with money or gifts. Things he doesn't want to say will definitely Can't speak.

Lin Ran replied: "Thanks to Mr. Song for what happened today, I will figure out a solution myself, so you don't have to worry."

His trip here was not fruitless. At least he learned one thing from Mr. Xu. Chen Cheng was actually in the capital the whole time, but he didn't tell anyone.

So if he goes to the guest house to look for evidence, there is a high probability that he will not be able to find his information.

As the saying goes, he is a hermit in the city. Chen Cheng has always settled in the capital, and has not been seen by people in the museum. He is really a natural hermit.

After bidding farewell to Mr. Song, Lin Ran went directly to Shengshi Crafts.

The things promised to the teacher will be completed. Since Mr. Xu can't find a breakthrough, he can only rely on Yang Jianlong.

When he arrived at the store, Yang Jianlong was preparing to pack his things and go home. When he saw Lin Ran, he immediately put down his backpack and came over.

"Daddy, don't worry if you come to the store so late. I'll take care of you here."

"Jianlong, I have something to ask you for help." Lin Ran and Yang Jianlong already have a very close relationship, and there is no need to be polite between the two.

He asked Yang Jianlong to search for Chen Cheng's whereabouts in the capital. When he heard Chen Cheng's name, Yang Jianlong laughed out loud: "I didn't expect there was someone with the same name as Uncle Chen, and I don't know what he was doing in the capital?"
