Chapter 145 Doesn’t this online writer know too much? (Subscribe)
A police car drove out of the Shanghai Airport, speeding down the wide and straight lane.
Lin Chuan was sitting in the police car, looking out the window. The high-rise buildings in the Magic City gradually appeared in front of him, showing their prosperity, but they quickly retreated from his sight and disappeared.
The police car had no windows, so the wind from outside couldn't come in.
While Lin Chuan felt a little depressed, he secretly sighed: "Modu City is so hospitable. As soon as we got off the plane, there was a police car to pick us up. It's great!"
The police car traveled through the busy streets and soon arrived at the Magic City Police Station.
The layout of the Modu Police Station and the Anling Police Station are not much different, including the reception hall, various functional rooms... But Lin Chuan looked around and couldn't help but think of Shen Qianqian, Xia Qingqing, Zhang Biao, Hu Daqiang and others.
The police station in Anling is still friendly and feels like home.
There aren't any familiar faces here.
The only thing that made Lin Chuan feel comforted and warm was Yuyou, a very responsible editor who stayed with him from the airport to the police station.
Originally, Lin Chuan asked her to help carry the luggage to the hotel first, but Yuyou was still worried and came with him.
Lin Chuan comforted Youyou in turn: "Don't worry, Youyou, I am serious about writing books. As for the illegal buying and selling of cultural relics, it has nothing to do with me."
"I know you write a book, but I don't know if it's serious or not?"
Youyou curled her lips and glanced at Lin Chuan a few more times, with a few traces of sadness in her eyes.
She was worried precisely because she knew what book Lin Chuan had written.
Is any of these books serious?
Baby, you must not have a criminal record!
Lin Chuan twitched the corner of his mouth and laughed sarcastically, thinking, "You can't blame me for this. If you really want to say it's not serious, then the system is not serious. I'm absolutely serious!"
"Comrade Lin Chuan, could you please come to the interrogation room with us?"
Chen Hui came over.
Lin Chuan nodded, and then followed Chen Hui into the inquiry room.
At this time, it was already afternoon.
Sunlight slanted through the gaps in the curtains and fell into the inquiry room. Golden spots danced on the floor. On the table by the window, a pot of green plants was particularly green, with crystal luster shining on the leaves and gently swaying in the breeze.
After doing the regular information registration.
Chen Hui sat looking at Lin Chuan across from him and asked, "Comrade Lin Chuan, do you know a person named Bai Yang?"
"poplar?"
Lin Chuan's face was slightly startled and his brows furrowed, "I know him. He is my reader. What's wrong with him?"
Chen Hui smiled and explained: "The thing is like this. He is currently suspected of an illegal trading of cultural relics, but he argued that he learned the technique of forging bronzes from your novels and successfully forged a 'taotie pattern' wine container'."
"..."
turn out to be.
During the interrogation of Lao Bai, the police in Shanghai were also investigating Lao Bai.
His mentor confirmed that Lao Bai had no time to rob tombs. Therefore, it was initially judged that Lao Bai was suspected of illegally trading cultural relics.
But Lao Bai insisted that this cultural relic was a forgery!
The police repeatedly confirmed with several experts, and the experts all clearly stated that this is the real "Taotie pattern 卣".
In desperation, Lao Bai thought of Lin Chuan.
He happened to know that Lin Chuan was flying from Anling to Magic City today, so he begged the police to invite Lin Chuan. As long as Lin Chuan came, he would be able to clear away the suspicion.
Chen Hui looked at the expert while looking at Lao Bai.
Both sides seemed very confident.
Therefore, Chen Hui immediately applied to summon Lin Chuan to assist in the investigation.
After hearing about this 'outrageous' case, Lin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled helplessly, thinking to himself, Old Bai, Old Bai, you are really born to cause trouble, but seeing as how you will be punished as soon as you come up For the sake of the Silver Alliance, I will take advantage of you this time.
Next time, you can get the Golden Alliance!
"Officer Chen, Bai Yang is a master's student in the restoration of cultural relics. It shouldn't be too difficult for him to imitate a bronze." Lin Chuan thought for a moment, then looked at Chen Hui and said with a smile.
"We understand that he has the skills to restore cultural relics, but he was able to deceive several experts, including the museum's chief expert Gao Qinglin and his mentor Cheng Qing. This is difficult to explain."
Chen Hui thought for a while and replied.
Forge a bronze, deceive the anchor and the audience, deceive the instructor and a group of experts!
This is quite outrageous no matter where you put it!
Lin Chuan rubbed his temples, and then said: "Officer Chen, can I go and take a look at the 'Taotie Pattern Yao' bronze? If it is forged according to some methods in the book, I may be able to help him prove that he is replicated."
Chen Hui raised his head and took a deep look at Lin Chuan. Chen Hui asked slightly in surprise: "You can also appraise antiques?"
"know a little."
Lin Chuan nodded and said modestly.
Chen Hui's face was startled, and then he lowered his head and glanced at the relevant information in the transcript.
Name: Lin Chuan
Age: 24
Birthplace: Anling, Han River
Occupation: Internet writer
"Your main job is an online article writer, and your side job is treasure appraisal?" Chen Hui asked curiously.
"Treasure appraisal is just a hobby, but I have a treasure appraisal qualification certificate," Lin Chuan smiled slightly, "Can I go see that bronze?"
Chen Hui and the policeman beside him looked at each other, then nodded: "Follow me."
He led Lin Chuan out of the interrogation room, walked through a long corridor lined with various achievements in the police station, and then turned into a relatively empty function room.
In the room, three energetic experts gathered around a piece of bronze to watch and study it carefully. They also discussed how this cultural relic should be submitted to the Cultural Relics Bureau and then kept and displayed by the Magic City Museum, as well as specific protection measures.
Cultural relics collected by the police station are usually transferred to the Cultural Relics Bureau after the case is closed.
The museum is part of the Cultural Heritage Bureau.
On the side, there was an old man who was not very interested, with a sad look on his face.
Lin Chuan estimated that this person should be Lao Bai's mentor, Cheng Qing.
"A few experts, please excuse me."
Chen Hui led Lin Chuan into the room and said hello with a smile.
"Officer Xiao Chen."
Several experts also tried to save Chen Hui's face and smiled back.
"It's like this. There are still doubts about this 'Taotie Pattern Yao' bronze vessel. According to the request of the person involved, we invited this... treasure appraisal expert to make an appraisal of this bronze vessel."
When Chen Hui introduced Lin Chuan, he originally wanted to say 'novel author', but felt it was inappropriate and immediately replaced it with 'treasure appraisal expert'.
It always feels weird to ask a novel author to identify the authenticity of a bronze.
In the functional room, several experts looked at Lin Chuan one after another.
He couldn't help but frown when he saw Lin Chuan's face was delicate and fair, looking young in his late teens or early twenties.
Among them, there was a man in a Tang suit, about the same age as Lao Zhang, with a rosy face, eagle-like eyebrows, and sharp eyes.
He looked at Lin Chuan, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Who does this little brother study under?"
Lin Chuan also cupped his hands and replied: "Teach yourself."
Everyone was startled again, with complicated expressions.
One or two of them looked at Lin Chuan with a somewhat indifferent look.
In the antique appreciation circle, especially some of the older generation, the most important thing is the inheritance of masters.
'Self-taught' people like Lin Chuan are usually considered to be folk treasure appreciators and are unlikely to be educated.
And if there is a great teacher, he can be called the successor of a famous master. His starting point is the ending point of others.
Cheng Qing, Lao Bai's mentor, glanced at Lin Chuan and asked doubtfully: "Little brother, are you really good at appraising treasures?"
Cheng Qing didn't understand why his students would want to ask this little brother to testify for him.
Even if he identified the bronze as fake, it would be of no avail.
Because, compared to experts such as Gao Qinglin, this little brother's identification results are not authoritative and therefore not persuasive.
"I'll take a look at Bai Yang's works first."
Lin Chuan nodded, with a smile on his face and a hint of confidence. He was not timid because of the look-down from several experts.
In front of several people.
The 'Taotie Pattern' bronzeware stands quietly on the table. Its surface is covered with a layer of irregular soil stains, and copper-green spots can be seen underneath. The Taotie pattern is looming, and several inscriptions are engraved on the round and full surface. On the body.
Lin Chuan Lin Chuan looked at it steadily for two minutes, raised his eyebrows slightly, and showed a touch of surprise on his face.
No wonder Lao Bai was caught.
This 'Taotie Pattern Yao' bronze vessel is made with very high craftsmanship and has almost no flaws. Generally speaking, experts cannot tell the traces of forgery.
The expert at Aite had a very good understanding of the 'Taotie Pattern Yao' bronze, so he could tell that it was a forgery.
Lao Bai is truly a genius at restoring cultural relics. Following my method, he can easily pass the fake as real.
It's almost impossible for ordinary people to do it.
"Little brother, have you identified it?" The middle-aged man in Tang suit looked at Lin Chuan with a smile.
He is none other than Gao Qinglin, the chief expert of the Magic City Museum.
Lin Chuan smiled, nodded and said, "This piece of bronze is indeed a counterfeit object."
"Little brother, you really dare to say that."
Gao Qinglin, the museum's chief expert, laughed, "I wonder where this conclusion of forgery comes from?"
The three experts next to him, including Lao Bai's mentor Cheng Qing, have no doubts about the authenticity of the 'Taotie Pattern' and have always believed it to be true.
Now a young treasure appraiser says it is fake?
Chen Hui and another police comrade watched quietly to see why Lin Chuan's identification was false.
In the room, everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan was considered someone who had seen big events. He looked calm and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, experts. Baiyang's counterfeiting techniques are somewhat different from traditional bronze counterfeiting. According to my observation, this should be a high-quality imitation with exquisite craftsmanship. Baiyang first used heated sulfuric acid to pour on it to let the sulfuric acid paper The solution corrodes the bronze, and then comes the important step of rusting and coating.”
"This step requires very high techniques, and the control of color also needs to be in place. Baiyang has a foundation in cultural relic restoration, so he does this step perfectly. The next step is to bury the soil..."
Lin Chuan described the steps of Lao Bai's fraud one by one.
The two policemen didn't understand it, but they thought it made sense.
Several other experts understood.
Gao Qinglin, the chief expert of the museum, narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly: "We don't understand what you just said about rusting and patina, but I dare say that no one can fake it to such a real level. Do it.”
In Gao Qinglin's view.
Lin Chuan is the fake treasure appraiser hired by Lao Bai to give false testimony. He is definitely here to cause trouble.
The most important thing is that Gao Qinglin likes this piece of "Taotie Pattern" more and more, and he is already thinking about how to bring it back to the museum for collection faster.
"This senior, nothing is absolute, especially with the advancement of technology today, it is becoming easier to perfectly imitate a cultural relic." Lin Chuan shook his head and retorted.
At least, I can do it.
Gao Qinglin narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Chuan sharply: "Tell me, if you want to imitate this bronze ware, what materials should be used for rust and patina?"
Lin Chuan looked at Gao Qinglin with a calm look, and was not intimidated by his aura.
After all, Lin Chuan's level is that of a master of counterfeiting and a master of antiques.
Facing Gao Qinglin's questions, Lin Chuan answered fluently: "Real copper rust, glue, rosin, white hyacinth paste, varnish, mineral powder, pigment..."
The names of the materials were spoken by Lin Chuan one by one.
The people present couldn't help frowning after listening to the series of materials Lin Chuan said.
They are all antique experts, and they have deep attainments in counterfeiting and identification. They not only understand what Lin Chuan said, but also gain something.
"We already have glue, varnish, rosin and other colloids, why do we need to add white hyacinth paste?" Lao Bai's mentor Cheng Qing couldn't help asking.
Lin Chuan smiled slightly and explained: "Baiji is a traditional Chinese medicine for astringency and hemostasis. It contains a lot of mucus and is a natural thickener. It can solidify the patina in a short time, replace chemical thickeners, and adhere to bronzes more, making the fake oxidized patina more natural and without odor."
Lao Bai's mentor Cheng Qing frowned and thought about the feasibility of what Lin Chuan said.
The other two experts were also thoughtful.
Only Gao Qinglin, the chief expert of the Magic City Museum, wanted to refute something.
But Lin Chuan didn't give him a chance to refute: "Officer Chen, brush off some of the patina on this bronze and send it to the Materials Department for inspection, and you can test the materials I just mentioned."
Chen Hui was a little stunned at the situation on the scene, as if... Lin Chuan had taken the absolute dominant position.
If this gets out, the four big names in the antique circle of Shanghai will be taught a lesson by a young online writer.
Hiss!
I can't imagine what kind of shock the antique circle of Shanghai will cause!
"Officer Chen?" Lin Chuan shouted.
"Ah, what's wrong?" Chen Hui came back to his senses and looked at Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan repeated what he said before.
Chen Hui's face was strange, and he frowned while brushing off the patina on the bronze.
Is he commanding me?
From the tone and instructions of his words, he seemed to be not just an online writer, but also very familiar with the police station, and even had some experience in handling cases.
This online writer knows too much, right?
These thoughts flashed through Chen Hui's mind.
Chen Hui couldn't help but look at Lin Chuan twice more, thinking to himself, Lin Chuan is from Anling, and it just so happens that he has a college classmate in the Anling Police Station.
After the case is over, I have to find her to learn about the situation of this online writer!
I strongly recommend a book by a friend. It has a big imagination, a fast pace, and is written by an old author. Friends who like it can go and have a look.
