Chapter 322 It's Simple

"The Van Lundin oil painting auctioned by the auction house was a fake from the very beginning," Tang Rui answered quickly, without making a fool of himself.

Yo, what evidence did the police find to be so sure?
Tang Rui immediately cleared up his confusion, "Because just a week later, in an underground auction house in Xiangwan, the same Van Lundin oil painting was sold again, and it was identified as a counterfeit."

"." Well, the whole Chinese cabbage has been wholesaled.

Tang Rui shrugged his shoulders and put away his hippie smile, "The seller is consigning anonymously, and the account is from a foreign country. All clues have been cut off, and the case has entered a desperate stage."

"Fortunately, we invited a master in the industry, the famous oil painter Mr. Cai, to help us analyze the two copies and found a breakthrough."

"Oh?" Min Xue was curious about where the breakthrough was.

"If I want to talk about some complicated theories, you probably won't understand them." Tang Rui "despised" Xia Minxue's art appreciation literacy.

However, Min Xue himself doesn't care about it. Human energy is limited, so how can we have so much time to be proficient in the whole industry?
Tang Rui didn't mean that, so he continued, "To put it simply, after observing the two imitations, Mr. Cai found that they had to be copied from the original paintings to draw them."

Isn't this nonsense?How to copy without looking at the original painting?

Seeing that Min Xue didn't understand what he meant, Tang Rui explained, "The meaning of the original painting is, the real thing!"

"Ms. Cai can see through a series of comparisons such as lighting and color that the imitation must be a copy of the real one, rather than just drawing from a remake of a photo, in order to achieve that effect!"

Huh?
Can this be seen?

Min Xuexiao was shocked, as expected, he specialized in surgery!
After Tang Rui's explanation, the expression was very clear. The suspect must look at the real product and copy it on the spot. That is to say, the suspect must have visited the real product on a certain occasion and copied it on the spot!
This is very important information.

"How is this painting exhibited abroad?"

"According to investigations, the painting belonged to private collections in the past few years, and it was rarely exhibited abroad, and since the imitations were all auctioned in the domestic market, we think that the copying was probably completed during the previous exhibition at Yalin Gallery."

"The subsequent identification of the creation time of the imitation oil painting also confirmed this point."

"So we focused on the monitoring in the museum during the week when Van Lundin's oil paintings were exhibited, and we found a person who copied the paintings."

There may be a lot of people visiting and browsing the paintings, but there are absolutely few people copying them on the spot, so this person is particularly eye-catching, and he found out without letting the brothers watching the surveillance bother.

To everyone's surprise, the creator who copied the original work so that it was almost fake was actually a young man who looked like a student.

In view of his age and skillful painting skills, the police searched the art colleges in Shanghai and quickly locked on the target.

The suspect is Ma Qing, a student at Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts.

Tang Rui and the others immediately controlled the suspect Ma Qing, but after interrogation, the police were greatly disappointed.

It turned out that although Ma Qing had excellent grades, his family conditions were very poor. The cost of studying art was higher than that of ordinary colleges, and Ma Qing had to supplement his family, so he often found some part-time jobs outside.

This copying of Fan Lundin's oil paintings was the job he found online.

The price offered by the other party was very high, and the request was to copy three oil paintings of Van Lundin, and if they were satisfied, they would pay a fee.

This information does not seem very reliable, but Ma Qing is indeed short of money, not to mention that to him, painting three paintings is nothing, just practicing basic skills.

Ma Qing, who made up his mind, did what he said.

And in order to stand out from competitors, Ma Qing heard that Fan Lundin's paintings would be exhibited in the gallery, so he went to the gallery to see the real objects and copied them.

The hard work paid off, and Ma Qing finally won a lot of money.

"The address of the transaction, the account, there are more than one or two clues, right?" Hearing this, Min Xue probably guessed how Tang Rui and the others tracked down the suspect.

Unexpectedly, Tang Rui actually laughed, "You guessed wrong this time, the suspect was very cautious, the transaction was in cash and in kind through the pre-agreed mailbox in the school, and the surveillance did not capture the person who gave the money to take the painting. "

"In the school?" Hearing these two words, Min Xue was thoughtful, "That is to say, the suspect knows Ma Qing very well? Or is the suspect himself a member of the Academy of Fine Arts, so he is familiar with the situation in the school?"

In this way, it is no coincidence that Ma Qing received the job online.

Knowing that he was short of money, so he put such a temptation in front of his eyes, I was really not afraid that Ma Qing would not be hooked.

Tang Rui was helpless, Min Xue was still so clever, he could guess the general idea with just a little talk.

But isn't that the reason why he wants to "abduct" people here?
Tang Rui didn't expect that this was not over yet, Min Xue continued to talk while pondering, "If I were Ma Qing, I would be curious about who paid so much to copy three identical paintings."

"What's the use of copying? Why do you need three copies at a time?"

"Presumably during the copying period, Ma Qing would subconsciously ponder these issues."

"And when the employer places the transaction at his own school, whether out of curiosity or self-protection, Ma Qing should want to know who the other party is."

"So, I think Ma Qing should stay in advance to see who put the money?"

Min Xue's series of inferences, in exchange for Tang Rui's more helpless eyes, "I said you boy, I'm afraid you can pinch and count? Can you figure it out?"

With a slight shrug, Min Xue explained, "It's just a simple empathy, and the inference needs to be verified."

"Verify P, it's just as you said, Ma Qing arrived at the trading place ahead of time, and secretly saw the people who came to trade."

Tang Rui looked at Min Xueyun's indifferent attitude, why didn't he get angry?
It is said that the brain structure of people is different, or why!
Min Xue continued calmly, "Oh, does Ma Qing know the person who came to pick up the painting?"

Tang Ruixin said, don't you have a good brain?You can guess it if you have the ability.

Seeing what Tang Rui didn't mean, Min Xue had no choice but to say, "Actually, whether Ma Qing knows him or not, there's nothing to say."

"If you know each other, you can just arrest them and finish the job."

"It's okay if you don't know each other. Ma Qing is so good at painting, drawing someone you've met is not a piece of cake. With portraits, it's easy for you to find them in the school."

Tang Rui, ".".

Why did things seem to become extremely simple when this kid said it?
After slandering for a moment, Tang Rui stated dumbly, "That's right, we found the person who took the painting through Ma Qing's portrait, and it was Luo Shishan, an alumnus of his same school."

Yo, listening to the name, she is actually a girl!
