Chapter 152 Antique Counterfeiting Gang! (Subscribe)
Modu Police Station, conference room.
The sunlight shines through the translucent curtains, like a golden ribbon, gently falling into the room. The light jumps on the wooden conference table, forming mottled light and shadow. The green plants in the corner are particularly green, and the fragrance of flowers and plants is diffused.
Lin Chuan walked to the conference table in the eyes of everyone.
His eyes did not pay attention to the expressions of everyone, but fell directly on the "Qing Dynasty Chinese entangled branch pattern thin jade bottle" on the conference table, which had a big crack.
It happened that the sun fell, and the light was sufficient. The texture of the jade bottle was delicate and crystal clear. The light penetrated the thin bottle body, and the faint warm light and shadow came out from the thin jade bottle.
At the same time, its internal texture was also clearly visible.
After Lin Chuan took a few glances, the details of the thin jade bottle had once again verified his thoughts, so he turned his head and looked at one of the main figures of this meeting.
—— Director of the Cultural Relics Bureau, Li Zeguang
"Director Li, before that, I want to ask a question."
Lin Chuan was not nervous in front of everyone, but seemed relaxed and had a faint smile on his face.
"You ask."
Li Zeguang looked at Lin Chuan's appearance, raised his eyebrows, and was slightly surprised.
If we don't talk about cultural relics, just talking about the confidence and demeanor shown by Lin Chuan in such a scene, it is indeed eye-catching and impressive.
Demeanor is difficult to pretend.
Just like antiques, real antique cultural relics have their own unique artistic charm and a kind of vicissitudes of years of baptism. This kind of charm is difficult to replicate.
A real treasure appraiser also knows how to 'appraise' people.
From the moment Lin Chuan appeared at the door of the conference room, Li Zeguang has been paying attention to Lin Chuan. He has never missed Lin Chuan's dress, speech, and even the micro-expressions on his face.
Lin Chuan gave Li Zeguang the feeling of calmness.
Yes!
Calm and confident.
"According to the process, the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Entwined Branches Thin-bodied Jade Bottle' needs to be appraised by a large number of experts before it can be returned, and records should have been kept at that time." Lin Chuan looked at Li Zeguang and smiled slightly.
The records include not only detailed data information, but also images, 3D models, etc., which are very detailed.
"We do have relevant records."
Li Zeguang nodded.
Lin Chuan smiled again and said, "I need all its information records."
Last night, Lin Chuan thought about it for a long time.
There is a 90% probability that this cultural relic was replaced by someone after the return and before the handover ceremony.
Because the craftsmanship required for the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Entwined Branches Thin-bodied Jade Bottle' is extremely exquisite, and there are very few inheritors of Suzhou jade carving in China.
If foreigners want to imitate it, they have to find domestic jade carving masters.
The most important point is that the return of overseas cultural relics is actually a diplomatic means.
It can promote cultural exchanges between the two sides and make bilateral relations closer. There is no need for the overseas party to use fake cultural relics to cover up and offend an awakened Oriental dragon.
Therefore, Lin Chuan guessed that someone had done something behind the scenes after the return.
In this case, the detailed information obtained from the appraisal of a group of experts should also be first-hand information and authentic.
The information is kept by the Magic City Cultural Relics Bureau, and the National Cultural Relics Bureau keeps the roots.
If even this first-hand information is not authentic, then Lin Chuan has nothing to say, he can only admit that he is unlucky and go to the police station for three years.
Li Zeguang's face moved slightly. He looked at Lin Chuan for a long time and finally nodded: "I can give you the detailed information for you to compare."
"Thank you."
Lin Chuan smiled and made another request, "Can you help me get the precision weighing and measuring instruments?"
On the side, the police chief ordered: "Chen Hui, go get it."
Chen Hui nodded and ran out of the meeting room.
Soon, the Cultural Relics Bureau sent the information of the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Entwined Branch Pattern Thin-Bodied Jade Bottle', which was displayed on the big screen in the meeting room.
On the screen, the 3D image of the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Entwined Branch Pattern Thin-Bodied Jade Bottle' was slowly rotating, with no blind spots at all.
Below, there was an introduction to its relevant specifications.
Such as the height of the bottle, the diameter of the bottom prototype, the circumference of the bottle at the largest part of the bottle, the diameter of the bottle mouth, the thickness of the bottle wall, and its weight and other basic data.
More detailed, there was information such as 'it is carved from Qinghai Jasper, using Suzhou jade carving technology'.
At this time.
Chen Hui also brought the precision instruments for weighing and measuring and placed them in front of Lin Chuan.
He had a complicated attitude towards this guy who could not be called a 'rival in love'.
Hostility, not to mention.
Chen Hui was more unconvinced. At that time, he wondered why this guy could be so favored by Shen Qianqian, so he subconsciously paid attention to Lin Chuan.
This time, can he successfully determine the fake like he did last time when he identified the 'Taotie Patterned You' bronze ware?
Lin Chuan said thank you.
Then, he put on gloves and carefully and meticulously measured the height of the bottle.
The people present were silent, watching Lin Chuan's movements.
Youyou was right beside Lin Chuan, her clear eyes showing a hint of worry, looking at Lin Chuan nervously, tiny beads of sweat oozing from her palms, making her rub the corners of her clothes secretly.
Li Zeguang's eyes were bright, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Could it be that Lin Chuan was going to use basic values such as weighing and measuring to distinguish the authenticity?
However, before the handover ceremony, these basic values will be measured again for each cultural relic.
Make sure nothing goes wrong!
After a while, Lin Chuan measured the first data.
The bottle height is 31.1cm.
Youyou was closest to Lin Chuan. She was the first to see this number and frowned.
This is completely consistent with the data recorded by the Cultural Relics Bureau.
But before anyone could react, Lin Chuan successively measured the circular diameter of the bottom of the bottle, the diameter of the bottle mouth, and weighed the bottle.
Without exception.
These values match the data recorded by the Cultural Heritage Bureau.
In the conference room.
Next to Lin Chuan, Youyou's heart was beating loudly. The more data matched, the more proof it was that it was genuine.
Chen Hui frowned, looking puzzled.
Everyone present looked at each other and communicated in low voices.
"The data matches exactly, this is the real thing."
"The more we learn, the more true it becomes. It's such a pity that this is a national treasure."
“Even if it’s fake, can it really be copied exactly the same?”
"..."
At this time.
Police Chief Zhao Gang frowned and asked slowly: "Comrade Lin Chuan, do you still need to continue the identification now?"
Everyone looked at Lin Chuan.
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became solemn.
The sunlight fell into the room through high penetrations, making it seem a bit hot. However, there was no one in the room and it was so quiet that one could hear the sound of the second hand turning.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.
It's very depressing and makes you breathless.
Lin Chuan recorded the measured data one by one, and then he looked up at everyone, his eyes stopping on the police chief: "Chief, please be patient. The basic data I measured for this thin jade bottle are not I want to use these data to prove that it is fake, but to verify whether the cultural relics with consistent data are authentic. "
Among them, it also includes color, texture, etc.
Police Chief Zhao Gang frowned: "All the data are the same. Isn't this one the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese Thin Jade Vase with Twisted Branch Pattern'?"
"Actually, that's not the case."
Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Please record the image played by the Cultural Relics Bureau just now and pause it at 4 minutes and 26 seconds."
The person who controlled the electronic screen playback in the conference room was Chen Hui.
Chen Hui didn't know why, but the two directors nodded, and he immediately followed suit, freezing the time at 4 minutes and 26 seconds.
The video lasts 4 minutes and 26 seconds.
On the screen, a thin jade bottle appeared, surrounded by darkness, and the light of a flashlight fell on it from top to bottom.
The wall of the thin jade bottle is as thin as a cicada's wing, crystal clear and has excellent light transmittance.
The light green fluorescence shines through from the inside of the bottle, giving it a warm and moist effect. The light and shadow are slightly mottled on the concave and convex parts of the bottle, and the overall appearance is a gradient layer of fluorescent green from light to dark, which is natural.
This is its unique light transmission performance and light and shadow effects.
Lin Chuan reminded: "Everyone should try to remember the light and shadow effects at this time."
Although everyone was confused, seeing Lin Chuan's serious expression, they all looked at the screen.
Subsequently.
Lin Chuan took out a flashlight from his pocket.
This flashlight is a style commonly used by antique treasure appraisers, and is exactly the same style used by Li Zeguang, director of the Cultural Relics Bureau.
He looked inside the conference room again, then walked to the window, pulled up both layers of curtains, closed the door, turned off the lights, cutting off the natural light from the outside, and temporarily turning off the screen.
The entire conference room was dark.
Only the flashlight in Lin Chuan's hand emitted a bright light.
This bright light, like the bright light on the screen just now, shines on this thin jade bottle from top to bottom.
"Li Bureau, could you please take a look at the light transmission performance of this thin jade bottle and the light and shadow effects it presents." Lin Chuan looked at Li Zeguang.
Of the people present, he was the only one who could possibly understand.
Li Zeguang frowned, first glanced at Lin Chuan, and then his eyes fell on the thin jade bottle.
After looking at it several times, I made an evaluation: "It has thin sidewalls, high-quality jade, excellent light transmission, and the light and shadow effects show a gradient of colors."
Lin Chuan smiled and asked: "How does the light and shadow effect now compare with the light and shadow effect just now at 4 minutes and 26 seconds?"
Li Zeguang was startled at first.
Immediately.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Chuan, frowning tightly: "You mean, the light and shadow they present are different?"
"exactly."
Lin Chuan nodded, and then asked Youyou to hold the flashlight. He also pointed at a certain light and shadow and explained:
"Director Li, this angle is exactly the same as in the video record, but look here, it does not show a natural gradient layer of light green from bright to dark like in the video. Instead, there are two subtle The spots, the light and shadow here are a little bit mottled.”
As Lin Chuan explained, Li Zeguang frowned deeper and deeper, his brows full of surprise.
He can't sit still!
He stood up suddenly, walked quickly to Lin Chuan, leaned down, and stared at the two subtle mottled lights and shadows that Lin Chuan had just mentioned.
Then, he turned to look at the outer wall of the bottle and then at the inner wall of the jade bottle. There were no stains or dust on the inner and outer walls.
The subtle mottling among them is caused by the clear color of the jade bottle!
In other words, the thin-bodied jade vase in front of him is different in color from the 'Qing Dynasty Chinese thin-bodied jade vase with branching pattern' that he identified at that time.
They are not the same cultural relic!
The thin-bodied jade vase with Chinese branches and branches from the Qing Dynasty is still there and has not been damaged!
There is still a chance to recover it!
In a dark conference room.
Li Zeguang swallowed his saliva first, and then raised his eyes to look at Lin Chuan. His eyes became brighter and brighter. The initial look of contempt had long disappeared. Now he was full of admiration: "That's great. This damaged thin jade bottle is not a real one." The Qing Dynasty Chinese jade vase with wrapped branches is not damaged!
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the conference room!
Li Zeguang is definitely an authoritative figure in the appraisal of antiques in Shanghai. Now, he agrees with Lin Chuan's statement.
——This thin jade bottle is fake!
Chen Hui froze on the spot, his mouth slightly open.
In the dim light, like everyone else, he raised his head and looked at Lin Chuan, his face filled with disbelief.
During the exhibition session after the ‘Overseas Cultural Relics Return and Handover Ceremony’, someone who negligently damaged a national treasure-level cultural relic faced a devastating situation – high compensation + jail time.
But who would have thought that he could see that this 'national treasure cultural relic' was actually a fake and successfully prove it?
What needs to be known is that during the exhibition, hundreds of people tasted this imitation and had a glimpse of its beauty, but no one questioned that it was a fake.
After the imitation was damaged, Lin Chuan never showed a panicked look from beginning to end.
It turned out that he had already seen it.
And I am 100% sure!
Be confident!
Chen Hui thought about it again, what would happen if he stepped in?
As expected, I have to go in and squat.
Suddenly, Chen Hui became convinced of Lin Chuan and thought to himself, Shen Qianqian, no wonder you have a soft spot for him. When you hear his name, you pay special attention to him.
He does have something!
Yoyo on the side breathed a long sigh of relief.
The stone in her heart finally fell!
At the same time, he looked at Lin Chuan's side face reflected in the corner of the flashlight. He looked handsome, handsome, and safe.
‘He is indeed my treasure boy. ’ Youyou pursed her lips, her heart beating loudly, like a lost deer bumping around in the forest.
Uh-huh!
The curtains were drawn, and the bright sunlight reflected into the conference room again. It was bright, dispelling the darkness and depression that lingered in the room, and replaced it with a relatively relaxed atmosphere.
It was the first time that Li Zeguang realized this unique treasure appraisal technique of using the difference of light and shadow to identify the thin jade bottle as an imitation.
It seems like an extremely simple operation, but the antique jade heritage required is unimaginable.
It feels like returning to nature.
Li Zeguang, Director of the Cultural Relics Bureau of the Magic City, a highly respected figure, is currently performing a Sichuan-style face change.
He looked at Lin Chuan with a smile and admiration, and treated Lin Chuan as an honored guest: "Comrade Lin Chuan, please sit down, please sit down, and this lesbian, please sit down too."
As for damaging an imitation, to him, it is just a trivial matter.
Why is Lin Chuan, the treasure appraiser, so important?
Lin Chuan and Youyou sat down together.
Li Zeguang took a deep breath and cleared his mind: "Comrade Lin Chuan, thank you for pointing out that this thin jade bottle is a fake. Otherwise, we would have been kept in the dark and let the criminals get away with it."
Lin Chuan sat next to Li Zeguang and laughed dryly: "I have no choice but to do this."
Forced to prove, avoid sitting in a trap.
Uh-huh...
"Old Zhao, this case about Comrade Lin Chuan..." Li Zeguang looked at the police chief Zhao Gang and said half a sentence.
Zhao Gang pondered for a moment, looked at Li Zeguang and Lin Chuan, and took over the words: "At present, based on the existing clues and materials, the bureau has temporarily classified this cultural relic damage incident as an accident."
"Unexpected incident..."
Li Zeguang, director of the Cultural Relics Bureau, murmured thoughtfully.
Zhao Gang smiled: "Comrade Lin Chuan, you are the person involved, and I would like to ask your opinion."
Lin Chuan thought for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed to the bottle on the table and said:
"If this bottle is a genuine 'Chinese thin-bodied jade bottle with branches and branches from the Qing Dynasty', the probability of an accident happening is very small, but it is a replica. If an accident happens to it and it no longer exists, is it right? Does this mean that no one knows the fact that it was dropped?”
The two directors looked at each other and frowned in unison.
If you had always thought that the thin jade bottle in front of you was genuine, no one would have thought of this aspect.
However, after confirming that the thin jade bottle was an imitation, Lin Chuan's speculation quickly took root and sprouted in the minds of the two directors like a seed!
Lin Chuan added:
"Moreover, this thin jade vase is so exquisitely imitated, so there must be quite a lot of involvement behind it."
The two directors stared, and a gang they had been tracking recently came to mind.
——Antique counterfeiting gang! ! !
