Chapter 1134 Clues to the Treasure

Seeing Chu Yunfeng walking towards him, the Duke smiled happily and said: "How about it, Mr. Chu, these Chinese collections of mine are good, aren't they?
Isn't it a problem to exchange those famous paintings with you? "

It seemed that these casual words had completely exposed the Duke's true thoughts, and Chu Yunfeng became alert from head to toe.

From the beginning, the Fat Sheep Master was not willing to exchange. Even after seeing those exquisite paintings, he still had great reservations about the exchange.

But now his attitude has taken a U-turn, and he has become very enthusiastic. If there is nothing fishy in this, Chu Yunfeng will doubt his own IQ.

The change of things started when he mentioned the words Hitler. Chu Yunfeng clearly discovered that the Duke seemed to have become a different person since he learned that all the paintings were hidden by the Nazis.

Although he hid it well, many flaws in the details could not be concealed, so Chu Yunfeng decided to give Ma Fu some more instructions after the signal was restored.

The box must be sent back home as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if it's a little later, but it must not fall into the hands of the Duke.

In addition, the two elders also took a breather to see if they could find some clues in Hitler's paintings as soon as possible.

However, seeing the Duke being so "arrogant", Chu Yunfeng would not encourage his "arrogance", but replied calmly: "It's hard to say now, let's wait until the three teachers have completed the appraisal and statistics.

I just took a quick look and found that there are indeed a lot of collections here, but the quality of them is far inferior to those of the paintings! "

When he heard that Chu Yunfeng was not serious, if it were in the past, the Duke would have refuted or even turned against him, but now he chuckled and said: "Isn't it true?
I just saw the expert who appraised the painting standing there for a long time. Is he very interested in that painting that can be regarded as a national treasure in China? "

After Mu Qing finished translating, Chu Yunfeng secretly thought that this guy is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. It seems that he still has a deep understanding of his collection.

This is also necessary. The Duke will definitely have someone to evaluate the status and value of his collection in the country to which it belongs. Of course, no detail will be missed.

Seeing that this guy was not easy to fool, Chu Yunfeng immediately changed the topic: "Where did you get that painting from? It can't be a fake, right?"

I wanted to stimulate this fat sheep man again, but I didn't expect him to be really calm and said calmly: "Mr. Chu, please stop joking. I know every piece of the collection here very well." the value of.

If you still want to know about it, or the origin of other collections, I can tell you slowly, but please remember one thing, please don’t say what you just said again, okay? "

yo?

Does the Duke know how to present facts and reason?
The sharp contrast in attitudes before and after made Mu Qing feel something was wrong, but she didn't react at all because she clearly felt that Chu Yunfeng knew everything about it.

Chu Yunfeng was obviously cooperating with him in acting, so he immediately saw Chu Yunfeng spread his hands and nodded.

After seeing that Chu Yunfeng accepted his suggestion, the Duke showed a very gentle smile, which made Chu Yunfeng chuckle even more.

Will he fall out again an hour or two later when he finds out that he has lost everything at Ma Fu's house?

Not knowing Chu Yunfeng's true thoughts, the Duke said cheerfully: "I collected this painting from a collector. It is said that he got it from China.

Due to the war, it was very cheap to buy these things at that time, so he bought a lot of them in large quantities and prepared to make a big sale, but he found that it was difficult to sell them at retail.

Fortunately, he didn't know what to buy. When I packed all the things in his hands, this was the thing that made me most proud.

Because this most valuable thing, he gave it to me at the cheapest price among all things. Isn’t this magical?

Oh, by the way, let me think about it, what was the price he gave me at that time?

Um.
£50?

Aha, when I heard this number, I added 5 pounds to him in order to thank him for packing everything together and selling it to me.

The final transaction price was 55 pounds. Isn’t it very cheap?

Oh, by the way, this painting is still preserved in the Palace Museum in your country. It is regarded as a national treasure!
Our country's museum also collects such a painting. Although these three paintings are all copied paintings, I'm afraid these are the only three paintings that can be handed down to the world, right?
Although my painting is later than the one in the British Museum and is slightly lacking in technique, it is a complete painting.

There are 12 sections in total, as you can see, there are only 9 sections collected in the British Museum, so when it comes to value, my set may be higher than the one in the museum. "

The Duke's face was full of pride, and he told all the information without reservation, obviously telling Chu Yunfeng that there was no way to pick up the slack here again!

However, these words confirmed Mr. Jin’s guess that the timeline of this painting should be in the late Tang Dynasty or early Song Dynasty, but who copied it still needs to be verified.

Chu Yunfeng nodded and acknowledged the Duke's words, and then suggested that he take him and Mu Qing around to see the rest of his collection.

However, this request was ruthlessly and resolutely rejected by the Duke.

No matter what Chu Yunfeng said, he would not agree. No matter what means Chu Yunfeng used, his head would shake like a rattle.

Anyway, it’s rejection, no matter what you say, you don’t agree.

In the end, Chu Yunfeng really had no choice but to give up. He began to despise this old man in his heart. He was obviously guarding himself against him!

It seems that the leakage incident that occurred in the previous collection room has left the Duke with lingering fear, and he does not dare to allow himself any chance to come into contact with other collections.

If he were to be picked up again, would he still be alive?

After understanding that the Duke was guilty, Chu Yunfeng stopped forcing him. Now he was waiting for the moment when the mobile phone signal was restored, and then he would have a good fight with him!

Chu Yunfeng, who had nothing to do, would study behind the three teachers from time to time to learn more about the appraisal of antiques. The three teachers also gradually "awakened" within half an hour of coming in and started a The land was appraised and appraised.

So after officially starting to work, the speed increased. Because there were so many things, the three teachers had to speed up, and they could identify one thing in almost a few minutes.

And when they are not sure, they will record it and try again later to see if they need help from the sidelines or something else.

Don't think that the three teachers are omnipotent. Modern counterfeiting technology is also at its peak. In many cases, it is possible to detect without relying on some technological means.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, the three teachers were very cautious in identifying the collection. If the collection can be accurately identified, it will be given a number that corresponds to the number on the shelf.

Yes, all the collections in the Duke's treasure room are numbered, and the three teachers will record a number after the number. This is an estimate of the antique!
After waiting for a full two hours, Chu Yunfeng suddenly felt his cell phone vibrate in his trouser pocket, and then he immediately picked it up and took a look. There were many text messages and missed calls.

Chu Yunfeng was relieved when he saw Ma Fu's OK gesture half an hour after the signal disappeared.

At this time, he also saw Chadwick walking towards the Duke in a hurry and whispering in his ear. After speaking for less than two seconds, he saw the Duke's eyes looking sharply at him. Looked over.

Chu Yunfeng remained calm and didn't seem to mind the gaze at all. He was still following Teacher Qiu to appraise the extremely exquisite porcelain in front of him with great interest.

The Duke was no longer so calm. He walked quickly towards Chu Yunfeng, and then said slightly seriously: "Mr. Chu, I think we should have a good talk!"

talk?

Chu Yunfeng naturally didn't understand what he said. Although he guessed what he might be talking about, he was not in a hurry anyway, so he shouted to Mu Qing and asked her to come over and translate.

The Duke was extremely depressed. He had forgotten that Chu Yunfeng didn't understand English just now, which shows how anxious he was.

After Mu Qing finished translating, Chu Yunfeng asked slowly: "I don't quite understand what the Duke means. If you have anything to say, please just say it!"

Chu Yunfeng would not play riddles with him at this time. He had to test this guy to see why he cared so much about the box and what important information he had about the Nazi treasure.

Seeing Chu Yunfeng's "fearless" appearance, the Duke knew that Chu Yunfeng should know something about Nazi treasures, but how much he knew specifically was hard to say yet.

But it was impossible for me to tell him directly, so I asked tentatively: "You didn't take away the box where the paintings were hidden in the first place, right?

Where is this box now? It should still be in London, right?I want to take a look! "

As soon as he said this, Chu Yunfeng immediately praised Ma Fu for doing a good job. This should be because he moved the box very well without letting the Duke's people find any clues.

Otherwise, the Duke would not have asked uncertainly whether the box was still in London, so Chu Yunfeng knew that the initiative was in his own hands.

Then the plan to continue to gather "fat sheep" can be implemented smoothly.

Facing the Duke's anxious look on his face, Chu Yunfeng replied seriously: "The box has been brought back to China, it's just an empty box.

Why, why would the Duke be interested in an empty box? "

empty box?
After hearing what Chu Yunfeng said, the Duke was so depressed that he wanted to curse. If this was really an empty box, why were there so many art treasures hidden in it?
But now his subordinates reported that Ma Fu's villa had been searched all over, even the basement, but no trace of the box was found.

Since it is an empty box, why did you take it away?

And from the time you left London, were my men blind?

With such a big box, couldn't they see whether it was taken away or not?
So the Duke suppressed the anger in his heart and tried to make his tone calmer: "Mr. Chu, since I want to take back the things that have been circulated, then this box must also be taken back.

I think you should understand my idea, right?
Let me tell you clearly now, if there is no such box, then all our transactions will stop, oh no, not just stop, but immediately suspended.

Okay, please tell me where this box is right now, I want to see it right away! "

Anxious!

This was obviously a sign of urgency, and they immediately showed off their cards. This made Chu Yunfeng a little unexpected, but it also made him understand from another perspective that this box must be very important.

Facing the "threat" from the Duke, Chu Yunfeng showed a very strange expression and said, "Is something wrong? I care so much about this box, is there any secret hidden in it?
Sir, could you please share with me what it is? I am now interested in this box! "

Seeing that he couldn't help but reveal his secret, the Duke felt deeply regretful. However, when you face a mountain of treasures, which may be directly comparable to the treasures of the British Museum, I believe no one can calm down.

It was me who was Meng Lang before, so the Duke quietly took a deep breath and said: "Mr. Chu, please don't get me wrong, this is a key matter to my personal reputation, and it made me excited.

If this box is still in your hand, it will often remind me of this very unpleasant thing, and it is also a hidden danger. If you do some publicity for this thing, I am afraid it will have a great impact on my reputation. . "

After all the nonsense, Chu Yunfeng listened very carefully, and then pretended to ponder. After waiting for a full 2 ​​minutes, he frowned and replied: "It makes some sense, but why do I feel something?" Is there something wrong somewhere?"

The Duke was afraid that Chu Yunfeng would be suspicious, so he immediately comforted him: "That's it, Mr. Chu, don't think too much, I just want to provide emotional comfort to this box, and I ask Mr. Chu to fulfill it!"

Of course, I definitely believe in Mr. Chu’s character, but for me personally, this is very important, so I still ask Mr. Chu to fulfill it. "

Chu Yunfeng finally felt relieved and said, "I see, I'm just a little sorry. The box is still on its way to China, so it may take a while.

Sorry, I didn't figure out the reason before, so I said the box was taken away.

Just kidding, there is no need to bring such a big box back, but I heard Ma Fu say that in order to prove that these things were taken out of the box, they must be brought back to China as evidence.

So we packed it up as soon as possible and checked it back. However, the item was too big. We were initially planning on shipping it by sea, but considering that shipping by sea would take too long, we chose air shipping.

But even if it's air freight, I'm afraid you have to wait for a week. If there is a delay in the middle, it might even take ten days!

So I'm really sorry. I will definitely let you see the box when it arrives in China. Please don't worry, Lord Duke! "

As soon as he heard that the box had been transported by air and was still on the way, the Duke seemed to have lost his strength in an instant, and his whole person became a little depressed.

In the end, Chu Yunfeng repeatedly stated that when the box arrived in China, it would be handed over to the old housekeeper for safekeeping, which made the Duke feel more at ease.

Then he felt completely absent-minded and a little anxious.

At this time, Chu Yunfeng received important information, and the two elders found a clue in Hitler's paintings.
