Chapter 149 Three years in prison, sky-high compensation! (Subscribe please)
"What's wrong?"
In the venue, Youyou sat beside Lin Chuan and noticed the strangeness on Lin Chuan's face, and asked with concern.
"Let me take another look."
Lin Chuan's eyes fell on the big screen in the venue, which showed the full picture of the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese entangled branch pattern thin-body jade bottle'.
The Qing Dynasty Chinese entangled branch pattern thin-body jade bottle is small and exquisite, with a dignified shape and smooth lines. The bottle body is exquisite and exquisite, and it is engraved with exquisite entangled lotus patterns. The composition is ingenious, making the elegance of the lotus and the agility of the entangled branches perfectly combined. The entangled branch pattern is luxuriant and complex, lush and full of vitality.
From the appearance and decoration alone, this jade bottle does not look like a replica.
However, Lin Chuan has failed on it, and his understanding of it is more profound, just like the editor-in-chief Zhang Yixing on the bamboo hat bowl.
The pits you have planted will always be impressive.
The white moonlight that you love but cannot get will be engraved in the memory of youth and cannot be erased.
The difficulty of this jade bottle lies in its craftsmanship.
Its body wall is extremely thin, and the thickness at the thinnest part is about one millimeter, like a cicada's wing. The success rate of production is not high, and it is extremely difficult to preserve.
Due to its thinness, its bottle body has excellent light transmittance, so that the entire thin jade bottle will present a unique light and shadow in the light.
And if you want to imitate it and present the state of having experienced hundreds of years of wind and rain, you must soak a modern thin jade bottle with complete carvings in Chinese medicine and make it old.
Once this is done, it will change the unique light and shadow formed by its natural patina.
This is the most difficult part.
- Light and shadow.
Lin Chuan just can't copy the light and shadow, because its controllability is minimal. No matter how similar it is, there will always be differences in light transmittance and light and shadow, and it is almost impossible to replicate it.
The 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Thin Jade Bottle with Entwined Branches' on the screen is such a problem.
Of course!
Except for Lin Chuan, almost no one can see this problem.
"Maybe it's a projection problem. I'll go to it and take a look at it in person later."
Lin Chuan murmured.
"Lin Chuan, what did you say about this pot?" Youyou blinked and asked with a smile.
Lin Chuan took a deep breath and explained: "This is a jade bottle. This handover ceremony calls it the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Entwined Branch Pattern Thin-Bodied Jade Bottle'. It is made of Suzhou jade carving thin-bodied craftsmanship. By the way, it is the same craftsmanship as the thin-bodied jade pot in "Escape from the British Museum."
Youyou suddenly realized: "No wonder this name sounds so familiar."
Soon, the handover ceremony was completed.
A total of 27 cultural relics returned from overseas were displayed in various places in the venue for participants to visit and appreciate.
Most of the people in the venue were masters, experts, and famous collectors in the antique circle. Once the 27 cultural relics were open for viewing, they all wanted to go to the "Once Beautiful Appearance".
In order not to hinder Lin Chuan and Youyou, Lao Bai went to appreciate it by himself.
The crowd surged, and Youyou followed Lin Chuan to the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Entwined Branch Pattern Thin-Bodied Jade Bottle'.
There were many people in the exhibition area of the thin-bodied jade bottle.
Because, among the 27 cultural relics that have returned, its value is enough to rank in the top three.
Youyou held Lin Chuan's hand tightly, like a well-behaved kitten, and followed Lin Chuan eagerly.
The 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Entwined Branch Pattern Thin-Bodied Jade Bottle' was placed in a small column-type glass cabinet, with two security guards next to it, and visitors could visit it at a distance of 50 cm.
"Don't crowd, don't crowd!"
"Visitors behind, don't be anxious!"
"Cultural relics are very precious, don't take pictures! Don't touch them with your hands!"
There are also six security guards to maintain order during the visit.
In fact.
These so-called antique masters, experts, and personal collectors who visited did not show high quality, and even had no sense of order. On the contrary, most of them had fiery eyes, and many of them cut in line and squeezed to the front row.
Lin Chuan and Youyou queued up honestly.
The visitors in front finally left, and the people in the back row came up again. After waiting for several times, it was finally Lin Chuan's turn to walk to the front row. The beauty of the 'thin jade bottle' came into Lin Chuan's eyes.
"It's so beautiful."
Youyou looked at the thin jade bottle in the glass cabinet and exclaimed.
"If you have Qinghai Jasper, I can make one for you." Lin Chuan smiled.
"You really know how to do it?"
Youyou blinked and smiled.
Lin Chuan touched his nose and muttered, "It should be successful this time."
"Master Lin, we meet again."
At this time.
A familiar voice came from beside Lin Chuan.
The speaker was Hu Shu.
"Mr. Hu, what a coincidence."
Lin Chuan turned his head and looked, a little surprised, and smiled politely.
Youyou was admiring the thin jade bottle seriously on the side.
"Do you also have a special liking for this cultural relic?"
Hu Shu pushed his glasses, pointed at the thin jade bottle, and asked with a smile.
Lin Chuan nodded and said with a smile: "I am indeed somewhat interested. I want to see this thin bottle body and its exquisite craftsmanship."
"Mr. Xiaolin is a connoisseur of goods."
Hu Shu smiled and changed his name to Lin Chuan'Mr. Xiaolin'. "Why don't you taste it?"
Lin Chuan raised his right hand and waved it gently: "Pure appreciation, no rash remarks."
"I have tasted this jade bottle repeatedly, but I can't determine whether it belongs to the middle or late Qing Dynasty. Can Mr. Xiaolin help me solve my doubts?" Hu Shu looked at Lin Chuan and smiled.
Lin Chuan looked up at Hu Shu and said with a smile: "My level is not high, and my judgment is very inaccurate."
"You can say it anyway."
"First of all, the early Qing Dynasty can be ruled out." Lin Chuan said half-jokingly.
Hu Shu laughed and said along with Lin Chuan: "Indeed, from the perspective of the decoration and style, the early period can be ruled out."
Lin Chuan looked at the jade bottle again.
Under the light of the glass cabinet, this Qing Dynasty Chinese vine pattern thin-body jade bottle exudes a warm and clear luster, without any flaws, but it is slightly different from the light and shadow that Lin Chuan wants to see, which appears in the natural color of hundreds of years.
It's really fake!
Lin Chuan cursed in his heart.
Whether it was a fake before the return or became a fake after the return is unknown.
If it is the latter, even such a national treasure-level cultural relic dares to replace it, these people are really bold!
"Mr. Xiao Lin?"
Seeing Lin Chuan's fascination, Hu Shu shouted.
Lin Chuan came back to his senses and smiled: "Judging from the patina of the thin jade bottle, it should be a work from the mid-Qing Dynasty."
Hu Shu's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at the 'thin jade bottle' in the glass cabinet again, revealing a very satisfied smile: "Thank you Mr. Xiao Lin for clearing up my doubts. I have something important to do, so I'll go first. If Mr. Xiao Lin has any difficulties or needs, you can come to the 'Ancient Moon' exhibition hall to find me at any time. I'm waiting for you."
"Thank you."
Lin Chuan nodded and smiled politely.
He and Hu Shu were not familiar with each other, so he did not reveal that this thin jade bottle was fake.
If this was shouted, it would immediately become a hot search.
It involves a wide range of people.
Suddenly!
The lights in the venue suddenly went out, and the visitors were in an uproar.
'Ah——'
But before everyone could react, several screams attracted the attention of the security guards nearby.
At this time, Youyou, who was beside Lin Chuan, for some reason, lost her balance instantly, her upper body suddenly leaned forward and lost weight, and fell forward.
"Lin Chuan!"
In a hurry, she instinctively called Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan's heart tightened, and he turned quickly, taking two steps in a row, trying to hold Youyou.
He was very fast!
However, just as he held Youyou and was about to exert force on his waist, his feet slipped. Because the two of them leaned too far forward, they were already in a state of weightlessness!
Bang!
The two fell heavily.
At the same time, a small column-type glass cabinet fell down.
Inside was the cultural relic - the thin jade bottle with Chinese winding branches from the Qing Dynasty.
The next second, the lights in the venue came back on.
It took only three or four seconds from the lights going out to the lights coming back on, and many people had not yet reacted to what was going on.
At this time, the nearby security personnel were divided into two groups.
One group protected the cultural relics, and the other group surrounded Lin Chuan and Youyou.
Not only Lin Chuan, but also several areas where cultural relics were located, accidents also happened, and many people were also surrounded.
At this time.
Youyou looked at the column-type glass cabinet that fell to the ground, and the cultural relics in the glass cabinet, her face was pale, her lips were trembling, and her voice was trembling:
"Lin Chuan, I'm in big trouble."
Lin Chuan gently patted Youyou's back and comforted her: "Don't worry, I can handle it."
At the same time, he looked at the security personnel around him, and then looked at the fake thin jade bottle, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
The thin jade bottle, which was as thin as a cicada's wing, cracked a big hole in the bottle body under the impact, and the bottle cap scattered.
"How did you fall just now?"
Lin Chuan was only briefly flustered, and immediately calmed down and asked.
Youyou pursed her lips, her eyes slightly red: "I seemed to be tripped by something just now, so I fell down, you are not hurt?"
When he fell just now, Lin Chuan turned over and cushioned on the ground, and Youyou's whole body pressed on Lin Chuan, so she was worried that Lin Chuan would be injured.
"I'm fine."
Lin Chuan pulled his shirt and gave Youyou a reassuring look.
The police, the Cultural Relics Bureau, the museum and other relevant persons in charge rushed to the scene immediately.
The cultural relics that had just been handed over suddenly had such a situation, especially this Qing Dynasty Chinese entangled branch pattern thin-body jade bottle, a national treasure-level cultural relic, which had a big crack and could almost be considered a total loss.
This is no longer a matter of the antique circle.
From the Cultural Relics Bureau to the museum, Lin Chuan, Youyou and others will all be involved.
The loss is so great and the impact is so great that it is unimaginable.
No one can bear the responsibility.
Chen Hui was nearby. He came the fastest and looked at Lin Chuan with complicated eyes: "What's going on here?"
Before Lin Chuan could answer, Gao Qinglin, the chief professional of the museum, walked quickly in front of him in a long gown, looking at the cracked thin jade bottle with a face full of regret, and then angrily said in a deep voice: "Who damaged this national treasure?"
The security personnel fell silent and no one answered.
And everyone's eyes were silently looking at Lin Chuan and Youyou.
Gao Qinglin squinted at Lin Chuan with sharp eyes and said in a deep voice: "You must give an explanation for this cultural relic!"
Lin Chuan was silent and said very calmly: "Before the incident is investigated clearly, I am not the first person responsible for the accident."
Besides, a fake cultural relic can be reproduced.
"If you are not the first person responsible for the accident, who is?"
Gao Qinglin was already very displeased with Lin Chuan for refuting him on the 'Taotie Pattern Yao' bronze. Now that he saw that Lin Chuan had 'damaged' this national treasure cultural relic, his anger suddenly rose in his heart!
"It's not up to you to decide on the responsible person." Lin Chuan responded calmly.
"snort!"
Gao Qinglin, the museum's chief expert, snorted coldly, "It's not for me to decide, but you damaged a national treasure. Do you know what the consequences will be? This thin jade bottle with Chinese branching pattern from the Qing Dynasty is priceless, even if it is sold The sky-high price of one billion is not surprising!”
This is true.
Just a piece of fine jasper material used to carve a thin jade bottle is worth at least several million. In addition, the carving process requires extremely high requirements and the success rate is extremely low. The value will be doubled several times.
Moreover, if it is really passed down from the Qing Dynasty and has experienced hundreds of years of baptism and precipitation, its value is already immeasurable.
Gao Qinglin looked at Lin Chuan coldly, and said coldly: "Even if you did not damage intentionally but caused damage negligently, you will be sentenced to three years in prison according to law!"
There is a crime in the criminal law called "negligent damage to cultural relics".
——Whoever negligently damages precious cultural relics protected by the state or cultural relics designated as national key cultural relics protection units or provincial cultural relics protection units, causing serious consequences, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention.
When the people around heard this, they were in an uproar!
Three years in prison and sky-high compensation!
Whoever this falls on will be a fatal blow!
Even police comrade Chen Hui, who knew the law well, could not help but glance at Lin Chuan a few more times, with a flash of compassion and sympathy in his heart.
On the side, Youyou swallowed, her lips trembled, her pupils dilated, and her eyes were red.
Obviously, she had thought about the serious consequences, but the words 'three years in prison and sky-high compensation' almost broke her psychological defenses.
But Lin Chuan didn't show a trace of panic on his face, and looked calm. He patted the back of Youyou's hand holding his and comforted him: "Don't listen to his nonsense. I am more experienced than him in this matter."
Youyou looked at Lin Chuan's slightly confident expression, and felt a little calmer for some reason, but the panic was still there.
at the same time.
Her heart was filled with self-blame.
If he hadn't called Lin Chuan, he wouldn't have been involved.
Lin Chuan saw that Yuyou still seemed a little guilty and self-blame, so he turned his head and whispered in Yuyou's ear: "Don't worry, this is fake, we are going to make a contribution."
Youyou's red eyes suddenly froze, and her face showed deep surprise.
Fake?
Merit?
For a moment, she was a little unable to follow the logic of this, but looking at Lin Chuan's always calm expression, she believed it a little more, and the panic in her heart was reduced a lot.
"Officer Chen, take us away. We are willing to cooperate with the investigation."
Lin Chuan looked at Chen Hui, who was wearing a dark blue police uniform, and offered to cooperate with the investigation.
Chen Hui looked at Lin Chuan in surprise.
He couldn't understand why Lin Chuan's face, instead of showing any trace of panic, became more stable and eager to try?
Yes, eager to try it!
Lin Chuan seems to want to go back to the police station with me?
Make up one chapter, there are two more chapters tonight, and I would like to recommend a good book to my brothers! ——"I am acting up in a time-stopped world"
If the world comes to a standstill, only he can act.
"Then I can be invincible for a while, isn't that too much?"
