Wu Qingshan glanced sharply at the people wearing red armbands and shouted, "If they didn't smash it, then someone must have stolen it. Public Security Comrade, I want to report it to the police. Someone is stealing state property!"

Lian Qing, who was downstairs, heard the sound and stood up to go upstairs, but someone was faster than him, it was Zhou Gui.

He took something out of his pocket as he ran, and held it up to Wu Qingshan. "Mr. Wu, is this what you are talking about?"

Looking at the familiar mahogany box, Mr. Wu carefully took it and opened it to check.

Sure enough, there was a peach-colored snuff bottle lying inside, still in good condition, looking as if it had never been touched.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou Gui sharply, "Why are you here?"

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't steal!"

Zhou Gui quickly explained, "The informant gave it to me. If I hadn't seen this, I wouldn't have been sure there were any antiques here, so I came here to search."

It turned out to be physical evidence.

Wu Qingshan, however, heard something else. "So, this was stolen by the informant?"

"But this snuff bottle has always been in the small western-style building. Who could have stolen it? Doctor Yun can't report himself, right?"

Yun Suisui frowned and said, "My home is in Bing City. I don't usually hang out with people. I only invited some classmates over for a day last week. They shouldn't report me..."

She glanced at Zhou Gui, "Could it really be He Xia?"

Zhou Gui sneered, as if mocking her naiveté, "Who else could it be besides her?"

Knowing that He Xia loves to compare with others, he still brought her home to see his comfortable life. He is simply asking for trouble!

As for why he knew that Yun Suisui lived a comfortable life?

Is this even necessary? A person's standard of living is often reflected in their face, words, and behavior.

From the food, clothing, and overall appearance of Doctor Yun, one can tell that he lives a life of luxury. With such a beautiful house as a backdrop, who wouldn't be envious?

Yun Suisui suddenly showed an expression of disbelief and murmured, "How could this happen?"

Seeing that she seemed to have been shocked, Wu Qingshan sighed and asked, "Doctor Yun, I remember that the third floor was always locked, right? So how did your classmate get in?"

Yun Suisui nodded. "The third floor has indeed been locked, but it rained a lot recently, and I was afraid the roof might be leaking, so I came in to take a look. I found that some of the cabinets were moldy. To make it easier to clean, I took out the things inside and temporarily put them in the bedroom. The snuff bottle was one of them."

Her words were not without purpose. Spring is always rainy. It rained last week and the week before last. She would also go to the third floor from time to time to make sure the cultural relics were not affected.

Wu Qingshan nodded, accepting this explanation.

"Whatever the case, it was this He Xia who stole the snuff bottle, right?"

He said to Lian Qing solemnly, "Comrade, stealing state property is a very bad act. Not to mention that this person not only stole, but also tried to slander a loyal and kind family through theft. He must be dealt with seriously!"

Lian Qing nodded, "Don't worry, we will not tolerate such behavior!"

As he said that, he took Zhou Gui to Yan University for identification.

Yun Suisui lowered her eyes, with a thousand thoughts in her mind.

She was very sure that what she had placed in the bedroom was the Hetian jade seal, but what He Xia took away and gave to Zhou Gui was the snuff bottle.

She was sure that He Xia did not have the ability or conditions to exchange the seal for a snuff bottle.

In other words, someone swapped the bedroom seal.

She suddenly remembered that when she returned to her bedroom last weekend, there was another person who was not in the lobby on the first floor besides her and He Xia.

It was Gu Jun who used the excuse to go out and wash his hands.

Moreover, almost all the people present were girls, and among all of them, he was the only one who had the ability to climb up to the second floor from outside the small western-style building.

She didn't know why Gu Jun did this. With this question in mind, she followed Mr. Wu and helped him check these antiques again.

After confirming that everything was correct, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as she was about to leave, Yun Suisui accidentally dropped the Hetian jade seal with the hem of her clothes.

Just as she was about to help him up, Wu Qingshan quickly said, "Don't move!"

Yun Suisui stopped and watched him put on gloves and carefully put the seal back in place.

"These old jade, porcelain and bronze artifacts have patina on their surfaces, and even a casual touch with your hands will affect their identification."

Yun Suisui nodded and smiled apologetically.

Then, as if remembering something, she said, "You said my husband often recovers cultural relics, so he must know something about this, right?"

Wu Qingshan nodded, his eyes showing admiration. "Captain Gu is both brave and resourceful. When he knew that Country R spies were trying to smuggle our cultural relics out of the country, he even asked me about the preservation methods and precautions for these items."

"When I was in charge of the province, I handled quite a few cases like this, but no one ever asked in detail how to protect these cultural relics intact."

After getting the answer she wanted, Yun Suisui smiled faintly and said, "You were both angry and anxious just now. How about I help you take your pulse?"

Although he didn't know why she suddenly asked to take his pulse, Wu Qingshan was still confident in his ability to judge people.

The girl in front of me has a clear gaze and decent manners. She is obviously a smart child.

Not to mention, she is Captain Gu’s wife.

He laughed, "I'd be honored."

The two came to the lobby on the first floor. There was a small table near the window, with a pulse diagnosis instrument and some Chinese medicine bags on the table.

This was prepared by Aunt Yang. Since Shao Yunwen's family of three often comes here recently, Yun Suisui always helps them take their pulses and treat their illnesses. This not only saves space but is also more convenient. It also allows for easy preparation of medicinal herbs and the like.

Wu Qingshan sat opposite Yun Suisui and put his hand on the pulse.

Yun Suisui placed her fingers on his wrist, carefully feeling his pulse.

After a while, a strange look appeared in her eyes.

Wu Qingshan asked: "How is it?"

Yun Suisui smiled slightly, "Mr. Wu is in good health, but the spring wind is strong and his joints are a little cold. You can apply more hot compresses when you get home."

Now Yun Suisui can basically be certain that this old man may have died in a struggle among wealthy families in his previous life.

His pulse now not only does not show any serious problems, but is even much stronger than that of an old man of his age, and there is no trace of the so-called old illness.

She couldn't help but sigh that the last emperor of the 20th century ended up like this.

"Doctor Yun's art is really amazing. My knees have been a little swollen and painful, and cold recently. I thought it was because I stood for too long!" Wu Qingshan said.

Yun Suisui said modestly, "Mr. Wu, you are too kind."

"In this respect, you and the deputy leader are quite similar, humble!" Wu Qingshan laughed.

Yun Suisui was puzzled, "Why do you always call Gu Jun the captain?"

She didn't think he would make such a low-level slip of the tongue.

Wu Qingshan was startled at first, then smiled mysteriously and said, "Well, you'll know after a while!"

Having said this, he left with brisk steps without asking anyone to see him off.
