Chapter 036

This is the first time that Mo Liming observed the beautiful blue and white glazed red celestial vase at close range. He drove the strange light in his left eye and looked at it very seriously.

The vase has a straight neck, a round belly, thick and powerful, and is a typical celestial vase shape. The hair color is pure, and the copper red is also standard. The firing conditions of these two colors are different, but it is not easy to burn such a pure color at the same time. The whole looks like a blue and white substrate, and there is a little bit of moss green in the copper red , only appear very natural, totally natural.

Looking at the surface decoration without throwing the glaze color of the vessel, it is even more unique. It can be seen that the lines of the sea water pattern are mature and smooth, and the layers are extremely rich. , the beginning of the brush is thick, the strokes are light, the strokes are like this, full of elasticity.

Underglaze red and blue-and-white glazed red began to be fired in the Yuan Dynasty. There were not many successful vessels, especially the blue-and-white glazed red, which was even more difficult to fire. After that, it was stopped for a long time, and it was not restored until the Kangxi period. In the Yongzheng Dynasty, blue-and-white glazed The red firing in the glaze is becoming more and more perfect, which is the heyday in the history of the red firing in the blue and white glaze.

At this moment, Mo Liming was engrossed in watching the celestial sphere vase, but he didn't hear it. Just a few seconds ago, the siren of a police car whistled from here, getting closer , as if in such a blink of an eye, the car came to the front of the store and stopped suddenly.

In fact, the owner of "Jingyixuan", that is, the tall and handsome young man Xiaolong, knows well that the antique stalls on Dongshi Temple Street are not far from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and driving at a fast speed generally does not exceed You can arrive there in 10 minutes, and just now he heard Brother Chen say that the police had already set off for 15 minutes, so he really couldn't run away if he wanted to. From the investigation of this antique shop and him, it is difficult to escape anyway, it is better to wait for them to solve the problem.

When the sound of the police car approached, not only Xiaolong, but also Lao Ji and Fu Yihong's expressions changed dramatically. They looked at each other for a while, as if they were at a loss, but although they were quite uneasy, who I didn't run away in fear, but waited for the police to arrive. Maybe they could help clarify some things. After all, we are close friends. How can we just turn a blind eye and leave without doing anything at this critical moment.

It was really fast. After a while, I only heard a burst of chaotic footsteps coming from outside the door. The sound was very hurried. From the sound of a series of footsteps, it could be seen that there were quite a few visitors, more than one or two. One, it seems that the teacher is mobilizing the crowd.

Then, people appeared at the door. They were two young men in plain clothes. They both looked tall and tall, with dignified faces, which were extraordinary.

"You guys...what's the matter with you?" Xiaolong took two steps towards them and asked as if nothing had happened.

"We are the police. Here is our search warrant. We suspect that some cultural relics have fallen into this antique shop—Which one of you is Lin Chenhui?" One of the policemen showed Xiaolong his relevant documents grandly. Sternly speaking, he moved his eyes to a group of people in the room, including Mo Liming who was observing the celestial bottle.

"District team, it's him, he is Lin Chenhui, I recognize him, the foreign affairs officer of Shengshilong Auction Company in Hong Kong!"

Just at this time, there were two more people by the door, both in their 40s. They didn't look like police officers, but they looked a bit like someone who came to pick up the stolen goods. They were probably the staff of the Z City Museum, the reporting department. The "treasure of the town hall" inside was stolen and lost outside, so they were naturally very anxious.

"I'm Lin Chenhui, may I ask why you are looking for me?" Lin Chenhui suddenly walked out slowly and calmly, he was very proactive.

"Lin Chenhui, this is an arrest warrant. We are formally arresting you because you are suspected of smuggling illegal cultural relics." The other policeman also showed Lin Chenhui a certificate, and after finishing his sentence in a serious manner, he quickly moved from He took off a pair of shiny silver handcuffs from behind his waist, and handcuffed Lin Chenhui involuntarily.

"You are required to hand over the stolen goods as soon as possible, lest we carry out a thorough search of this store." The policeman tightened Lin Chenhui's arm while glaring at Lin Chenhui sternly and warned.

At this moment, Lin Chenhui's face was pale. He didn't answer immediately, but just stared blankly at the policeman.

"Two police officers, can you untie my handcuffs first? I am willing to cooperate with you to investigate this matter." After a pause, Lin Chenhui finally spoke. His tone was relatively calm. The two policemen looked at each other.

"Then hand it over." The district team said, and motioned his teammates to unlock Lin Chenhui with his eyes.

"District team, that, that's the piece of porcelain that was stolen from the museum in our city!"

All of a sudden, the middle-aged man who had identified the Hong Kong businessman Lin Chenhui exclaimed in surprise. The direction of his finger was facing the blue and white celestial ball vase that Mo Liming was looking at.

"Yeah, district team, I can recognize it too!" Another middle-aged man also said firmly and loudly.

After finishing speaking, the two of them rushed into the room together, and walked to the table where the celestial ball bottle was placed, and saw that they all had expressions of being overjoyed.

"Then take a closer look, you have to identify it clearly." The district team instructed, and he also approached as he spoke.

"Well, I got it, the district team." The two agreed in unison, and then both of them took out magnifying glasses from their pockets, and carefully examined the exquisite celestial ball vase for official kilns from Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty.

Under the inspection of the magnifying glass, it can be seen that the porcelain surface contains clear and transparent air bubbles of different sizes, and the blue and white regular script "Yongzheng Year of the Qing Dynasty" is written horizontally along the bottle mouth. The font is beautiful and powerful, full of ancient charm, absolutely unique. Traces of counterfeiting.

"How is it? Are you sure it's the piece of porcelain lost by your museum?" The district team approached the two cultural relic appraisal experts from City Z and asked.

"District team, that's right, it must be!" Someone immediately responded cheerfully.

"There is no doubt about it!" Another person also told the district team with mixed surprises.

"Are you so sure that this bottle is the one lost in your museum?" Someone suddenly asked.

It was none other than the only woman in the room who asked this question——Fu Yihong.

Fu Yihong's face was cold and covered with frost, and the sudden intrusion of the police undoubtedly brought an unpleasant feeling to her.

"It must be right." An expert raised his head and gave Fu Yihong an angry look, and said lightly.

"What evidence is there?" Fu Yihong immediately asked again, her eyes were also shining coldly.

"The evidence is that there is nothing wrong with this item, it is a genuine item, and it is exactly the same as ours." The man replied confidently.

"Who are you? This item must have something to do with you, right?" The district team looked up and down Fu Yihong's eyes with a strange look, and then sneered, "It's good for you, let's gather here to appreciate the stolen goods , I think you are all people in the antique business, why don't you even understand the most basic common sense, and you don't have any professional ethics!"

"Take them all back for investigation, and they can't be cleared of suspicion!" Another policeman scolded.

"You..." Lin Chenhui quickly argued, "This matter has nothing to do with them at all. They don't know the origin of that thing at all. I asked them to help with the appraisal. If you want to investigate, just investigate me. It really has nothing to do with them!"

"Brother Chen said that they don't know anything about the bottle!" Xiaolong also helped explain, his face flushed and he was very excited.

"You said that there is no connection if there is no connection?! Take them all over first, and you should explain clearly in the bureau." The district team also said mercilessly.

"District team, I suspect that they are members of a gang. We can't just let this matter go. We should arrest them all. Maybe more and bigger unearthed cultural relics smuggling and reselling cases can be solved from this group of people." Come." An expert suggested seriously.

"Sir, please be responsible for your words. I have the right to ask my lawyer to sue you for defamation." Lin Chenhui warned the man righteously, not to be outdone.

"Let's clarify your innocence first." The younger policeman said disdainfully.

"Come out." Soon he gave another order to take Fu Yihong and the others into the police car and drive to the detention center.

As a result, Lao Ji and Mr. Huo looked at each other with helpless expressions on their faces. Although Fu Yihong was very angry, she was helpless, and she must have gone to the Public Security Bureau to explain this clearly.

At the moment they have no other good option but to cooperate with the police.

"Mr. Lu, you pack that bottle and take it to the Public Security Bureau first." The district team instructed the two experts.

"En." They agreed very happily, and then, they worked together, carefully, and began to put the celestial ball bottle into the suitcase they had already prepared.

"Wait! Please wait!"

However, at this moment, a person in the room shouted loudly.

As soon as the words were uttered, everyone stared in amazement at the place where the voice came from, and what immediately caught their eyes was a young man who was only 23 or [-] years old.

"What do you have to say?" The district team asked the man very coldly.

"I just want to ask them a few questions." The man said with a dignified expression, one word at a time, ringing in his ears.

"Ask anything, it's still too late." One of the two cultural relics experts said carelessly.

The man asked bluntly: "The porcelain 'Qing Yongzheng blue and white glazed red sea dragon pattern celestial vase' stolen from your museum should be genuine? This is the first question I want to ask. Our face-to-face answer is clear, yes or no.”

"Of course it is true. Will there be fakes in the collections of our museum?" An expert said without hesitation. In one line, unless you are a god, with sharp eyes and the ability to foretell, even the most powerful experts will inevitably miss the point. If you are so sure, you are exaggerating yourself.

"Very good! Thank you for your definite answer. We all heard it clearly." The man squinted his eyes and smiled, "The second question is, if the bottle is not the real Yongzheng Porcelain, does that mean that it is not the piece of porcelain stolen from your museum?"

"You—what nonsense are you talking about?!" The expert glared and said, "You are young, don't understand, don't talk nonsense, how could this thing be fake?!"

"I'm sorry, please don't give any further explanations, just think it's just a hypothesis, and what you want to answer is yes or no." The man said calmly.

"Take it as it is, but it can't be a fake!" The expert retorted angrily.

"That's good, thank you again for providing the answer." The man said, but the rest of the people except him were puzzled, and Fu Yihong and the others were also the same, because in their opinion, the celestial bottle could not be faked, and the man was so confused. After saying these words, no one knew what his intentions were.

"You talk too much nonsense, if you want to talk about it, go to the police station!" The younger policeman said impatiently to the man.

"Am I talking nonsense? It will be clear later." The man couldn't help but face the policeman's rude shouting, and then he immediately turned to the district team and asked solemnly, "Police It’s serving the people, and you won’t wrong good people, right?”

"You're right, we won't wrong a good person, and we won't let any bad person commit crimes!" The district team said without hesitation.

"With your words, I can rest assured that if I don't do anything wrong, I won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." The man said with a smile, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"Crack!"

The other policeman flung out the handcuffs and yelled at the man, "You're procrastinating on purpose to provoke us, aren't you?!"

He was about to handcuff the man, but the district team pulled him back and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Jun, don't mess around, let him finish his sentence."

"Thank you." The man thanked the district team without blushing, and then he said straight to the point, "I can prove that the celestial ball bottle is not genuine, but just a fake, it is not enough Put it in the museum of City Z, which means it has no direct relationship with the lost cultural relic!"
