Chapter 356: 234 Wanwan too fierce? Fifth Master: I can handle it (3 more)_2
"Youâve been using kingfishers for Cyan Feather, havenât you!" the leading woman from the Animal Protection Association charged forward again, "This behavior is too cruel, let me tell you, there has to be an explanation today!"
Tang Wan chuckled as she looked at their name tags, "Auntie, may I know your surname?"
"Cao!"
"Aunt Cao, rest assured, I will certainly give you a satisfactory explanation today. First, letâs not all stand out here; letâs go inside the workshop to talk."
"Wanwan?" Chen Zhi couldnât help but feel worried after hearing this.
Tang Wan gave him a reassuring look, "Aunt Cao, I know you were the first to go in to find so-called evidence, but right now none of us trust each other, and I wonât let you go in to search. Itâs not appropriate for our staff to go in either. How about we leave this matter to the police officers? They are neutral."
On the side of the Animal Protection Association, they looked at each other; Tang Wan spoke very politely and extended an open palm, which one cannot slap, plus they didnât have the authority to search anyway, leaving it to the police also seemed appropriate.
"Alright, weâll do as you say," Mrs. Cao said.
"Then Iâm sorry to trouble the officers," Tang Wan told the officers apologetically, "Sorry to trouble you so early in the morning to mediate this."
"No problem, shall we go inside now?" the police officer also felt this was the only viable method.
"Feel free to look around." Tang Wan finished and then smilingly looked at the people from the Animal Protection Association, "Aunt Cao, please come in too. Youâve come so early in the morning, and it must have been tough, come in for a cup of tea."
Everyone had been standing at the door for nearly two hours, all thirsty and tired. With Tang Wanâs suggestion, everyone instantly agreed, and a crowd of people bustled into the workshop.
The office area was already quite small, and aside from some promotional posters on the walls, there were also some Cyan Feather paintings, very unique, and the police officers began a thorough search.
"What are you two dawdling for, go in," Jiang Cuo looked at the couple at the door.
With Tang Wanâs arrival, Xie Jing was dumbfounded, and the two were somewhat panicked, seeming like wind-up toys running out of energy, walking stiffly into the office area.
...
The workshop was small, and after the police had searched around, besides finding some semi-finished Cyan Feather feathers, they couldnât find any kingfisher corpses, but did find some goose feathers.
"Just because we didnât find a kingfisher doesnât mean you havenât used one," Mrs. Cao seemed somewhat reluctant to give up, after all, bringing so many people here in such a grand manner and returning empty-handed felt rather embarrassing, so she had to be stubborn, "Moreover I heard, the main production site isnât here, but at your home, Miss Tang."
"Then you may bother the police to search my home, I donât mind, but now, there are some things, I think itâs necessary to let you know." Tang Wan looked towards Deng Shuo and his wife not far away.
"Was it you two who reported me?"
"You wanted to confront me, now Iâm here, so tell me, when have I ever used a kingfisher, in which artwork have I used it? Since you reported me, you must have verified something, point it out, donât let the officers bustle around like headless flies."
...
Tang Wanâs words hit right on point, if it had been used, it would certainly be left behind in some artwork, just find the artwork and it would be clear on inspection.
"Yes, tell us, about when and where did she use it?" the police asked.
"Just... just..." this was just a framed slander, how could this couple suddenly make up something on the spot, they had thought of randomly saying something to temporarily appease the police, deceiving them, but they heard from not far away, a ringing and pleasant voice.
"You can deceive us, but if you deceive the police, this could be a big or small matter, you better weigh your words carefully before you speak!"
Jiang Jinsangâs voice.
Yes, deceiving the police is different, and the couple suddenly didnât dare to speak recklessly.
"Tell me, where have I used it!" Tang Wan persistently pressed them.
"Just... just..." Ding Anran gritted her teeth and actually squeezed out something, "Just that Ten Thousand Bat Gourd Pattern hairpiece before, yes, thatâs it!"
Chen Zhiâs pupils shook, this was simply blatant lying! Especially since that item, gilded with Cyan Feather and fitted with beads, had been custom-made by the Wusu Qiao Family before, and the jade beads were provided by the Qiao Family, the transaction had been long completed with both money and goods exchanged, how could they possibly have the police bring people to the Qiao Family to demand it?
Moreover, these werenât Pingjiang locals; it would take hours by car, this was clearly intentional.
In his frustration...
