Chapter 1135 A major breakthrough! ! !

In this collection room, Chu Yunfeng would not directly call Ma Fu because he was afraid of being recorded at any time.

Although this cave collection room is very large, there are surveillance cameras everywhere, and these high-definition cameras all have recording functions.

And there may be cameras or even recording devices in other hidden places, so we have to be on guard.

The message sent by Ma Fu said that the two elders discovered hidden details in a self-portrait of Hitler. Just like many ancient Chinese paintings, it is not easy to find the details deliberately left by these painters without a magnifying glass.

The second elder said that he saw what looked like a hidden map on top of this self-portrait, and after two hours of identification, he found that this painting was probably not painted by Hitler himself.

Judging from the technique, it is indeed very similar to Hitler's painting method, but in many details, the use of paint is somewhat different from his.

There are many different places, so we can judge that there is something wrong with this painting.

Therefore, the two elders searched for the mystery of this painting very carefully, but when they looked at it with a magnifying glass for more than an hour, they could not find any clues.

However, what is surprising is that when Ma Fu felt that the room was very stuffy and wanted to open the window to let in some air, he inadvertently opened a gap in the curtains, and the sunlight shone on the picture, and the faint lines immediately appeared. Out.

The curtains in the conference room where the paintings are placed are always closed to avoid direct sunlight, which will cause damage to the paintings. But by accident, such a secret was discovered!
So the two elders copied the rest of the paintings in the same way, and found that only this painting had such a unique reaction.

And this is also the only self-portrait among all Hitler's paintings! ! !

This is enough to show that there is definitely something wrong with this painting. Maybe it hides a huge secret. Could this be related to the Nazi treasure?
Although they discovered the hidden secret, the two elders finally discovered that these lines were actually incomplete. Although they could roughly tell that they were maps, they could not distinguish them at all.

Because the lines only outline a rough figure, but there are no logos on the figure, there are no mountains, rivers, etc., which makes it impossible for people to recognize it.

So the two elders planned to scan these lines with an instrument to see what kind of map it was drawn, and then compare it with the world map using a computer to see if they could find out the mystery.

After things progressed to this point, Chu Yunfeng secretly thought that Duke Dalton really knew something. No wonder he was so nervous about the box and the paintings inside.

But the question comes again. Now that clues have been found on the painting, what about the box?
It is already an empty box. What other important information is hidden in it?

Don't worry, let's wait for the results of the comparison between the two elders to come out and see if we can find anything. Even if we can't find anything in the end, this painting must be well preserved and not let the Duke get it.

In the next two days, the old housekeeper evaluated all the paintings in the three conference rooms, and finally concluded that they were all authentic.

However, Chu Yunfeng did not let Chu Yunfeng know the price they assessed, but Chu Yunfeng didn't care. This matter is not urgent, and there must be a reversal.

The work of the three teachers is not so easy. There are thousands of collections in this collection room. The collection of Huaxia alone is estimated to have more than 1 pieces.

It's more than 1, not more than 1000!

It sounds like more than 1 is not much, and it pales in comparison to some private museums in China, but there is an issue that cannot be ignored.

That is the collection of more than 1 pieces. Each piece is a fine product, and its value starts at at least one million. Almost none of them is lower than this figure.

Although there are many collections in private museums, many of them are of historical value, but they do not have an advantage in terms of price.

Not to mention the hundreds of millions of collections, there are also a lot of them, which the three teachers couldn't put down.

In the past two days, apart from eating and sleeping, they were basically focused on the appraisal and valuation of the collection. Chu Yunfeng's suggestion that they find friends from China to help was rejected!

It had to be completed by three people independently. Chu Yunfeng also knew that it would not be easy for too many people to know about this matter, so he could see the hard work of the three teachers.

There was no jet lag in the past two days, and they only got up after only four hours of sleep at night. They were completely devoted to it. Although they looked a little tired, they were very excited mentally.

The Duke has stopped coming in since the first day. Chadwick has always been in charge here, and Chu Yunfeng has been doing his old job when he has nothing to do.

As a result, His Excellency the Duke was very moved when he heard the news. Whenever Chu Yunfeng went to the kitchen to cook, he would stand by and "appreciate" without saying a word.

This made Chu Yunfeng feel very speechless, why don't you cook for him, this is someone else's kitchen, and the ingredients are also provided by him, I always feel a little embarrassed.

But you said you wanted to do it for him, but he didn't say anything. This is obviously a side effect. The Duke really has a lot of thoughts.

Needless to say, the final result was that Chu Yunfeng still made a portion for the Duke, and he always pretended to be surprised and surprised, which made Chu Yunfeng despise him deeply.

Most of the ingredients in the kitchen were Western-style, but Chu Yunfeng couldn't help but still make Western-style Chinese meals.

For example, donburi, a hot dish fried with beef, onions and other ingredients, is poured directly on top of the rice. Even the Duke couldn't help but eat one after eating two steaks.

After taking one bite, he immediately praised it, saying that it was the most delicious rice he had ever eaten. It was several times more delicious than Spanish paella. He also thought that the rice should be cooked a little better and would never eat raw paella again. Stop eating
Chu Yunfeng was a little skeptical. If he returned to China in a few days, would the Duke chase him to Huaxia and ask him to cook for him?
Judging from the envy and jealousy in his royal chef's eyes, Chu Yunfeng secretly chuckled in his heart. What's there to worry about? My brother won't take your job?

However, during the past two days, the Duke has been asking about the progress of the wooden box. Every day, he asked where the box was.

Chu Yunfeng answered perfunctorily that he didn't know at the moment. Anyway, he would be notified when he arrived while he was in transit.

Although the Duke pretended to ask casually, and Chu Yunfeng's perfunctory answer, he did not dare to ask too much, for fear that his excessive questioning would make Chu Yunfeng notice something.

This made Chu Yunfeng keep snickering in his heart. The more he seemed not to care, the more relieved the Duke felt.

This box will also be sent back to China tonight. It is too dangerous to leave from London, so Ma Fu has quietly moved it to France as soon as possible.

First, it was secretly sent to the port in a small car, and then sent to France on a cruise ship. After traveling around, it became safer.

After arriving in the capital, they will be sent to the school's laboratory immediately, where the two elders are currently conducting various technical processes.

All the lines previously hidden in the painting were scanned, and it was determined that they should be the prototype of a map. However, in the past two days, I compared them with European maps and found that they did not match up at all.

Moreover, I also compared it with the world map, but there was no way to match it, so the research was in trouble for a while.

In the end, the two elders guessed that there might be some secret hidden in the box, which could only be decrypted if it was put together with the line drawing, so everyone was waiting for the return of the box.

Chu Yunfeng did not tell the three teachers about this matter for the time being, because he did not want to distract them. The nature of the research conducted by the second elder was also very intensive, and he also asked himself not to disclose it to anyone.

So Chu Yunfeng waited here with peace of mind for the results to come out. At the same time, he also made some delicious food for the three teachers to make them feel more comfortable.

Of course, Mu Qing and I are on vacation now. When we have nothing to do, we can walk around the Duke's manor and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

After that, the ingredients in the kitchen were freely available, and Mu Qing could cook whatever she wanted, and her life was quite comfortable.

The box was returned to the capital on the third day and was immediately escorted to the laboratory. Although it was night, the two elders still conducted research immediately.

They turned the box upside down, but found nothing, which was a bit frustrating, so they had to stop at twelve o'clock and were called back by their family to go to bed!
On the morning of the fourth day, after breakfast, the second elder continued to run to the laboratory and checked the box inside and out, including the place where the painting was previously fixed, but still found nothing.

They looked at every inch of the place where the paintings were hidden countless times with magnifying glasses, and knocked on them so many times that their hands hurt, but they found nothing.

The only thing that can be discovered now is that this box currently does not have any hollow parts, so it cannot hide anything.

But even so, the two elders still made no progress in their research, but they did not give up. They still believed that there must be important hidden information on this box.

Research continues!

On the sixth day, the three teachers finally sorted out all the exquisite Chinese antiques in the collection room, and then began to focus on some of the collections that they were not sure about.

There were a total of eighteen collections, and the three teachers felt a little unsure.

There are three sets of Chinese paintings, ten pieces of porcelain, two bronze tripods, one coin, a Buddha head, and a Buddha sculpture.

It can be seen that most of the fake things on the market are mainly calligraphy, paintings and porcelain. However, it is difficult to say whether these things are fakes or not, and some in-depth identification is needed.

After getting the Duke's permission, Chadwick moved all these things out and placed them in a large room.

Because the three teachers needed video calls, they would definitely not be allowed to do so in the collection room. After moving here, the three teachers could not wait to start their own calls.

Teacher Qiu was the first person to get through the video. The moment the video was connected, he immediately began to greet him and said, "Old Ma, what are you doing?"

The man called Lao Ma had white hair and seemed to be much older than Teacher Qiu. As soon as he heard Teacher Qiu's voice, he immediately started teasing: "You can talk about something when you have something to say. You usually do nothing." Climb to the Three Treasure Hall."

Faced with the ridicule from his friend, Teacher Qiu didn't take it seriously at all, but started to "threaten": "Hey, look at what you said, am I that kind of person?

I originally wanted to open your eyes, but I didn't expect you weren't interested, so forget it, I'll go find Lao Li! "

What, looking for Lao Li?

As soon as Lao Ma heard Teacher Qiu's tone, he immediately understood. There must be something to appreciate. When he heard that he was going to find Lao Li, he immediately became anxious.

"Excuse me? Hurry up and take a look at what good stuff you have!
Wait, what's going on over there? Why is it so dark?Are you not in the country? "

Lao Ma's observation was still very careful. It was still broad daylight in the capital, but it was pitch black outside the window behind Teacher Qiu, and the lights were bright inside the room, which made people feel very strange.

"It's not important. I want to show you something. Come on, appreciate it and see if it's good!"

Then Teacher Qiu turned the screen on his mobile phone and projected it onto the blue and white porcelain vase on the table. Lao Ma immediately shouted, and then quickly asked him to move the camera closer.

"I'm going, did you go abroad to help people identify things? This is a good thing. It looks like Yuan blue and white. This jar is not simple!

Come a little closer, a little closer, let me take a good look at the density of the ink?
hiss~!

If this thing is true, it's worth the old nose's money. What's wrong, aren't you sure? "

After seeing Lao Ma "taking the bait", Teacher Qiu immediately told the truth: "It's a little bit, as you noticed immediately just now, the ink color looks a bit too rich.

So I’m a little unsure and want to discuss it with you.”

Then the two started chatting enthusiastically, slowly analyzing the authenticity of the blue and white jar.

Teacher Jin and Teacher Cai were also in the same situation. They exchanged greetings when they came up, and the next second they projected the video onto the antique before the other party could react.

They are all professional appraisers, who can resist seeing these exquisite things?

So we were all attracted at the first moment, and couldn't take our eyes off it, and started discussing it immediately.

It lasted until two o'clock in the morning London time, and then the appraisal of these eighteen antiques was completed. Chu Yunfeng had to admire the energy of the three teachers.

However, what is surprising is that after strict and meticulous identification, two collections were found to be fakes.

One was the large Yuan blue and white jar that Teacher Qiu had identified with Lao Ma just now, and the other was a picture of Ma Yuan's stream rocks, which made the three teachers feel a little sad.

Then Chu Yunfeng immediately informed the Duke, and he was also very surprised, because all the collections had been repeatedly identified by professionals, and there was no possibility of fakes.

So the Duke asked everyone to rest first and find someone to come over tomorrow to conduct an appraisal together. The collection of fakes was unforgivable in that cave treasure room.

This is a slap in the face, a naked slap in the face, this is an insult to reputation!
So the Duke immediately arranged for an appraisal team. Yes, you heard me right, not one or two appraisers, but an appraisal team. It was said that ten appraisers from the auction house would come.

It seems that the Duke must be really depressed, and he just made a big move, maybe he also wanted to compete with the three teachers.

Then wait until tomorrow to see who gets slapped in the face!
However, just when Chu Yunfeng was about to fall asleep, he suddenly received a text message from Ma Fu, saying that there was a major breakthrough in the research conducted by the second elder! ! !
