I would like to take a closer look at your bowls.
- My what? - Your bowls.
I would like to take a closer look at your big brass bowls.
- Okay. - Thank you.
Han Dynasty. Very rare. Beautiful.
I see you have an eye for antiques, inspector.
Some here are real and some are copies.
I'm sure you can tell which are which.
Second century. Very rare.
One should always handle an antique vase from the inside.
Otherwise the oil from the hands can damage the patina.
Oh. Pure alabaster. Lovely.
That's odd. What I did, I went like this, and then...
This is weird.
Why did you take out a life-insurance policy on Gluant?
The insurance company won't pay unless the murderer is caught.
And if it turns out to be me,
they won't pay at all. Do you understand?
But you stood to gain from Gluant's death, didn't you?
Gain? What would I gain?
Gluant's share of the restaurants.
Oh, the restaurants were a disaster.
Gluant was siphoning money out faster than it came in.
My only consolation was he'd lose the money gambling in my casino.
But after a while his losses became so ridiculous,
he promised me his ring as collateral.
Someone had words with Gluant
the night before he was killed.
- Didn't you? - No.
You didn't threaten to break his legs and then crush him into powder?
Perhaps I saw that on TV.
Well, I can certainly think of a better place for this.
That's my personalized cell-phone tone ring.
Hello? Yes, this is Inspector--
Yes, I could meet you. In the restaurant?
Yes, of course. Right away.
Gentlemen, something has come up. Please excuse me.
ls this vase of great value?
It is a worthless imitation.
But that desk was... priceless.
