Chapter 1174 "God's masterpiece"?
This painting is one of the paintings that Duke Dalton values ​​​​extremely, and it is also one of the top paintings because its author is Leonardo da Vinci.

This icon of Jesus is definitely a painting that can be handed down from generation to generation, and is comparable to the Mona Lisa in the Louvre.

It was originally a good celebration cocktail party, but when the painting appeared in front of everyone again, the lively celebration scene instantly cooled down, and the ground became a mess.

Jason is one of the five appraisal experts. He was the first to see this painting, so he is quite familiar with every detail of this painting.

Because I have been engaged in appraisal work for so many years, no painting has such a status in my heart, and I will dream about it even when I fall asleep.

I still remember that when I saw it this morning, it was still as beautiful as first love, but now I found that this "first love" was like a different face, and it no longer had that beautiful feeling.

Yes, that's the feeling!
That expressive feeling is gone!

Although this painting was no different from what I saw in the morning, I felt that this kind of thing could not deceive people. I immediately realized that there was something wrong with this painting!

Then the flaw was discovered through the bright light in the hall!

So he immediately made a judgment in his mind that this painting was a forgery, and it was only copied recently. This would definitely not escape his own eyes!

God~!

A replica of a painting?
What the hell is going on here?
It's impossible, right?
Could it be that my eyes are dazzled?

After blinking hard, I looked over clearly again. The flaw was still the same, and there was no change at all.

It's over~!

Jason felt dizzy and couldn't imagine why this painting would become like this?

Ever since, Jason let go of his hand, and the red wine glass that was still in his hand a second ago immediately made a free fall motion, fell solidly to the ground, and broke into pieces, and the half glass of red wine was also directly scattered. One place.

The first refreshing sound of breaking was heard, and within the next five seconds, the sound of four red wine glasses being broken appeared one after another, which obviously made people aware that something was abnormal!

Jason rushed to the painting immediately and took out a magnifying glass to examine it carefully, as did the other four appraisal experts. Everyone's faces were filled with serious expressions that they had never seen before.

The expression on the old housekeeper's face was dull, as if he had thought of a possibility, a possibility that he was least willing to accept, and then he felt his hands trembling involuntarily.

And I wanted to stand up and go over to see the situation, but my feet seemed to have no strength at all, and they were so soft that it made people feel decadent.
The Duke clutched his chest, stood up from the chair with difficulty, and glanced sideways at the old butler. His heart felt like it had been hit by a heavy hammer again!
"what happened?

what is the problem?

Someone tell me what happened? "

The Duke took a deep breath, and when he said the last sentence, he slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground. At this time, the energy of a volcanic eruption was accumulating in his heart, waiting for a tipping point!
However, what left him speechless was that the scene was so quiet, no one answered his questions, and the hands of the five experts holding the magnifying glasses were trembling, which made the Duke's anger accumulate even more.

At this moment, Jason suddenly sat down on the ground and dropped the magnifying glass in his hand, but miraculously, the magnifying glass did not break.

But Jason felt that his heart was really broken.

"Imitation, this is imitation, this is imitation!"

Among the five people, Jason was the first to say this. However, just a few seconds after he said this, four people followed him and sat down on the ground, obviously frightened.

Because they all deeply understand that this matter is a big problem.

If there is a problem with the appraisal of the painting, they will definitely not be able to escape responsibility, and if the person holding the blame is Duke Dalton, it means that his career may be over.

Everyone in the industry for so many years has understood what kind of character the Duke is, or what kind of person he is. It's just that he paid a lot of money, so everyone tacitly understood it and didn't discuss it too much.

imitated?
Fake?

As if to confirm his suspicion, the Duke felt that all the hairs on his body stood up, and a large amount of blood began to rush to the top of his head.

However, he didn't seem to believe it, so he suppressed all the emotions in his heart and rushed towards the painting quickly.

The momentary loss of control of the scene made the two assistants holding the painting feel a little scared. They wanted to throw the painting to the ground, but now it was very hot to hold in their hands!
Fortunately, Chadwick keenly noticed something was wrong and quickly stepped aside. He was very glad that he did not touch the painting. At this time, he was still a little frightened when he saw the Duke's anger.

And when the Duke rushed over, the two of them were so frightened that their hands shook.

When the Duke looked at the painting carefully, his brows began to frown deeply.

Hmm~?

There seems to be no problem?

As an appreciation expert, the Duke's appraisal level is still good, but compared with experts, there are definitely some shortcomings.

So he kicked Jason, who was lying softly on the ground, and asked in a very unkind tone: "What's going on? What's wrong with this painting?"

At this moment, His Excellency the Duke really wanted to hear him tell himself that there was nothing wrong with this painting and that it was just a joke.

But Jason was at war with nature at this moment, especially when he saw that the Duke didn't find the flaw and wanted to point it out to him himself. Wasn't this drawing conflict and anger to himself?

But after he hesitated to answer, he immediately found that the Duke's face was getting more and more ugly, and there were signs that he was about to explode.

It seems that if I don't answer well, what awaits me will definitely be more serious than telling the truth, so I can only break my heart and break the jar!

“At first I just had a feeling and wasn’t sure, but when I walked in I realized that the portrait was different from the varnish on the bottom. Although it was well concealed, you can still spot it if you look carefully.

However, the other party's technique is also quite powerful. This is actually one of the shortcomings of oil painting production. The main reason is that the time is too short. If the painting is left for a week, this shortcoming will disappear and become perfect. "

After Jason finished explaining, the Duke checked it carefully, but he couldn't find the situation he mentioned. It seemed that his identification skills were not good enough.

So the Duke asked against his will: "Could it be that you saw it wrong? Besides this place, where else is there a problem?"

Faced with another inquiry, Jason almost wanted to curse. Don't you know how to ask other people?

Do you have to keep asking me?

Jason, who wanted to scold her, was extremely depressed, but he could only continue to answer: "The other problem is bigger, and that is the signs of cracks and weathering in these paintings.

After all, these paintings are old, and cracking and weathering are inevitable. However, these expressions are very natural, and it is difficult to imitate paintings.

Artificially added traces will become too heavy, which can be seen as long as you observe carefully. "

This should be the unique skill of the top appraisers, but the Duke did not seem to agree with this, so he asked the other four appraisers, but the answers he received were the same.

If Jason was the only one who thought so, the Duke might still be shaken, but when everyone has a unanimous opinion and they are the top talents in the industry, this issue becomes really big.

The anger in his heart could not be expressed in words, but the Duke still seemed unwilling to give up and began to roar in a low voice: "Open, continue to open, open all these paintings for me, and identify them one by one!"

The Duke gave the order, and Chadwick felt quite depressed at this time. It seems that he is the only one who can do this now, right?
What does it have to do with yourself?

These paintings were not brought back by him. The old housekeeper stood there dumbfounded, seemingly stupid.

Facing the Duke who was about to explode, Chadwick had no way out. He could only call a few more assistants to come in and quickly open the paintings one by one, so as to relieve himself a little pressure.

"Get up, get up quickly, and give me an appraisal immediately, hurry up!

Come on, come on, if there is a problem with the identification, just wait for me, I will never let you go! "

Bunch of trash!
Especially when the appraisal expert turned out to be so cowardly, the anger in the Duke's heart was really on the verge of exploding.

Jason looked at his companions. They all looked at each other with bitter expressions on their faces, but they could only stand up, picked up the magnifying glass on the ground, and continued to identify the paintings.

It's just a fake one, what if there is no problem with the other one?
Although I have such an idea in my heart, how can I deceive my heart like Dalton did?

Since there is a problem with one of the paintings, can the rest of the paintings be spared?
In the second painting, a work by Michelangelo, the Duke stood behind the five experts and started asking in less than ten seconds.

"Tell me quickly, is it an authentic piece or a fake?"

No one answered him, but the five people were still carefully examining the painting.

"Tell me quickly, is it true or false!"

He shouted almost like a roar. The pressure brought by the Duke was really great, but Jason had already given up and turned around and replied: "Fake!"

The other four people quickly followed suit and gave the same answer, and then continued to identify the next painting.

The Duke was completely shocked by this answer. If this work is authentic, then the luck in his heart will already exist.

But the word "fake" directly broke my luck. I suddenly felt that my heart was about to be broken, and it was broken directly. The pain was so painful that I could hardly breathe!
However, he still seemed a little unwilling to give up. The Duke leaned over the oil painting that had just been identified as a fake and sniffed it twice, and then frowned deeply.

"It doesn't smell like a new oil painting. Could it be that you made a mistake in identifying it?"

Regarding the Duke's statement, Jason wanted to complain and retort, but he really couldn't help but this guy questioned his own identification results.

So he immediately replied: "The other party's oil paints are specially made and are the most high-end ones. These top-quality oil paints are tasteless.

I dare to say responsibly that the cost of imitating this painting is definitely not low. To achieve such an effect with this kind of paint, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can prepare.

And judging from the exposure time of this batch of paintings, if all of these paintings are imitations, how many people will be able to imitate all of so many paintings in such a short period of time?
And the craftsmanship is so good, I can’t imagine anyone being able to do all this, except God! "

The Duke understood what Jason said, that is, it is impossible to do all this without the help of God. Indeed, it is definitely not that easy to copy all these paintings.

Then it is very likely that they are just a few imitations, and maybe the later ones will be authentic, just like the batch of antiques I sent to China, some of them are genuine.

However, what happened next completely shattered the Duke's luck. Within 10 minutes, half of the paintings were identified, and without exception, they were all fakes.

"Open, continue to open, continue to identify me!
what."

As if this result was a huge blow to him, the Duke could no longer suppress his anger. He directly pulled up the tablecloth on the dining table and pulled it up with all his strength.

Clap la la.
A whole table of dinner plates, delicacies, and red wine bottles were all dragged to the ground by the tablecloth, and naturally, bursts of "beautiful" crisp sounds rang out.

Next, like a person being nakedly "judged", the Duke heard the word "fake" one after another in Jason's mouth.

It wasn't until the last painting was pulled out that the five appraisers turned their heads with difficulty. Jason's lips were trembling. After shaking for a few seconds, he uttered two words: "Fake"!
Fake, all fake!

At this time, the Duke couldn't believe the facts before him. When his mind went blank, the old butler, who had been dumbfounded, suddenly blacked out and fainted on the ground.

Whoo~!

Chadwick suddenly felt that today was the darkest day. Why did such a reversal suddenly occur?

How did Chu Yunfeng do it?
Before he could think of a reason, he had to pay attention to the old housekeeper's fainting. This old guy was cunning, and he didn't know whether he was really fainting or fake.

But at this moment, all I have to do is to have the manor's doctor come over immediately to see if I need to send him to the hospital for further examination and treatment.

The doctor had just arrived when he saw the Duke lifting up the chairs at the dining table and throwing them out, as if he was crazy, and roared crazily.

Crazy, crazy, this is crazy!
His mouth was full of curses, like the most realistic reaction of a person who had been extremely stimulated. If the anger in his chest was not vented, he would definitely go crazy, right?
Jason and the others did not dare to leave at all. If they left at this time, they would face endless darkness and could only stay here and resign themselves to their fate.

And the person who should bear the most responsibility chose the smartest way. Why didn't he think of this move before? Wouldn't it be best to faint?
But the doctor's examination results came out quickly. He had indeed fainted, and it was recommended that he be sent to the hospital immediately.

Chadwick did not hesitate. After all, life was at stake, so he immediately asked the doctor to take the old housekeeper to the hospital without delay.

The Duke continued to roar and vent, but Jason began to think calmly. It all seemed like a hallucination. How did things get dropped? Why didn't anyone notice it?

I checked it before the security check, and there were no problems. And after the security check, I checked it again, and there were no problems, right?
Could it be the work of God?
After thinking for a long time, Jason felt that his IQ was not enough. The Duke seemed to have calmed down at this time, but the entire restaurant was in a terrible mess.

So I saw the Duke take out his cell phone and start making a call, but a few seconds later I found that he repeated the call again, which lasted for about 2 minutes.

Then I heard the Duke suddenly roaring angrily: "Chu Yunfeng, you and I are irreconcilable."
