Chapter 213: Strange Things 2

Shen Qiu, a white-glazed amphora, did not make a statement, and then followed Mr. Tan's "Jinling Merchant Ship Experience".

This is a landscape painting of a banner by Liu Hu at the end of the Qing Dynasty with a merchant ship as the background.

Liu Hu is a native of Yangzhou, Jiangsu, near the edge of Universiade Lake, and this "Jinling Merchant Ship Experience" was also created in the midsummer season.

This painting is about two meters long and one meter wide, and it vividly depicts the prosperous scenery on both sides of the Grand Canal, and Liu Hu, the writer Shen Qiu, is more impressed.

This painter was poor all his life, his family was poor, but he was a prolific painter, it is rumored that Liu Hu usually lived in embarrassment, and a painting came into being with a wave of his big hand, sometimes less than half an hour can sway a magnificent painting, this "Jinling Merchant Ship" was painted in exchange for wine money when there was no money to buy wine.

Shen Qiu was also on the scene when Mr. Tan bought this painting, and it cost a total of nearly 130w to buy it, which was almost the sum of all Mr. Tan's savings.

Shen Qiu also saw the problem of "Jinling Merchant Ship", in the center of the painting, there were two circular openings, one large and one small, with different shapes, and at first glance they looked like two holes burned out of cigarette butts.

"These are these two holes! Master Shen, can you help me see what's going on? The paintings are all framed, how come there are two cigarette holes for no reason? I don't smoke! I just put it in the cabinet!"

The more Teacher Tan spoke, the more anxious he became, seeing that the tears were about to fall, Xie Jingwen hurriedly comforted and said: "Teacher Tan, Teacher Tan, don't worry! Like Boss Bao, we are responsible for you in Xuan Bao Zhai to the end!

Shen Qiu erected the painting of "Jinling Merchant Ship" and pasted it with a magnifying glass to check it, not to mention that these two round holes were indeed burned, and at first glance there were really some traces of cigarette butt burning.

Of course, this is definitely not caused by cigarette butts, because the paintings are framed and sealed, if the cigarette butts touch the surface of the painting, it is not as simple as two round holes, I am afraid that most of the painting will be burned.

Rao is Shen Qiu's memory has hundreds of years of experience in appreciating treasures, and he didn't see the strangeness of the two holes, the green spots of the white-glazed amphora make its value discounted by at least eighty percent, and this "Jinling Merchant Ship" is even more terrifying, the appearance of these two round holes of cigarette butts, the value directly fell to the bottom, and it is good that one million and three hundred thousand paintings can be sold for thirty thousand.

......

Xie Jingwen also refunded the money to Boss Bao and Teacher Tan respectively and dealt with it properly. This morning, before the door opened, it lost nearly two million, and this money will also be excluded from Xuan Bao Zhai's turnover.

"Sister Xiaowen! Are we Xuan Bao Zhai responsible for this loss? This is too unfair! The two antiques were in their hands! They are not responsible for buying and leaving! The loss of these two antiques is two million!" Zhu Xiaogang was extremely incomprehensible about this.

Xie Jingwen said in a deep voice: "Xuan Bao Zhai is different from other antique shops, open the door to do business, but all from Xuan Bao Zhai to buy back antiques, there is a one-week guarantee period, in my father's hands is like this, to me will not change, as long as Xuan Bao Zhai is still there, to uphold this purpose! ”

"Brother Shen!" Qiqi also asked puzzledly, "Could it be that these two people deliberately did something to us?"

Xie Jingwen shook his head and denied: "Boss Bao and Teacher Tan are both old customers in the store, it's not the first time they've cooperated, they won't do such shameless deeds, and their character can be trusted!"

Shen Qiu held his breath and observed for a long time before he spoke: "I don't dare to draw conclusions now, these two flaws are too strange, with a certain degree of accident, since Xuan Bao Zhai has such a rule, he can only consider himself unlucky! Fortunately, Boss Bao and Teacher Tan have cooperated, they should not spread this matter, otherwise the impact on Xuan Bao Zhai's reputation is unimaginable." ”

"Jingle bell...... Jingle bell ......"

Xie Jingwen's phone rang, and as soon as she answered the phone and said two words, her face suddenly changed: "No...... What are you talking about? No, right? How is it possible? Okay, good, good! Boss Qin, don't worry, we'll be there right away!"

Xie Jingwen hung up the phone, his face turned pale, and sweat droplets the size of soybeans appeared on his forehead: "It's not good! Shen Qiu! Something is wrong! The call is from Boss Qin! The marching inscription that we bought in our store yesterday! Yue Fei's marching inscription! There is also a problem!"

Yes?

Several people present were shocked, and Shen Qiu's eyes were dark, and he thought that Xuan Bao Zhai's catastrophe was a white-glazed porcelain vase and Liu Hu's paintings, and he could only consider himself unlucky if he lost more than two million yuan.

Now this Boss Qin's call is different, Yue Fei's marching inscription cost 2100w at the time, if something happens to this antique, the loss is absolutely immeasurable, with the current situation of Xuan Bao Zhai, it will definitely not be able to withstand such an impact.

"Shen Qiu, let's go to Boss Qin's shop to see what happened, Boss Qin didn't make it clear on the phone, listening to his tone seemed serious!" Xie Jingwen took the car keys and urged Shen Qiu to get into the car.

"No, no, no!" Shen Qiuren stood in place and suddenly reacted: "Xiaowen, didn't you see it? Several things sold by Xuan Bao Zhai all went wrong? How could it be so coincidental?"

Too many coincidences come together, and then it's not an accident.

Shen Qiu's gaze fell on Liu Hu's "Jinling Merchant Ship", and he suddenly noticed an extremely fine detail, just behind the painting, there was an extremely fine black dot.

Shen Qiu leaned in with a magnifying glass and magnified the details dozens of times, and the details of the black dot were instantly revealed, like a tiny pinhole.

Shen Qiu suddenly realized that Boss Bao's porcelain vase and the loopholes in Teacher Tan's calligraphy and painting were not accidental, but deliberate!

This imperceptible pinhole is the biggest evidence!

......

Twenty minutes later, Shen Qiu and Xie Jingwen came to Boss Qin's antique shop, and Boss Qin anxiously pulled the two into the room: "Boss Xie! Master Shen! Look at it! This is the inscription of Yue Feijun that I bought from you, and it has become like this in less than a day!"

Although Shen Qiu had already prepared himself before he came, he still couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the marching inscription in front of him.

The marching inscription, which was intact yesterday, has now become another tragic picture.

The marching inscription was squared on the table, and in the lower right corner of it, there was a palm-sized hole, a rusty hole, which at first glance looked like a notch gnawed by rats.

"How can this be? Boss Qin, wasn't it intact when it was shipped from Xuan Bao Zhai?" Xie Jingwen was also panicked, and was immediately dumbfounded when he saw the appearance of the marching inscription.

"If you ask me, I still have to ask you! Things have always been kept in the safe! This gap has been made overnight! This is an antique bought for more than 20 million yuan! It's not hundreds of thousands of yuan! If this thing becomes like this, it will really become a piece of scrap metal! More than 20 million yuan will be directly lost!"

"Boss Qin!" Shen Qiu circled around the iron plate: "After you came back, was the marching inscription touched by others?"

"There is no beginning to end this marching inscription only I have been in contact with, after coming back to the safe has not been touched, this morning I asked a few friends to come over to enjoy the treasure, who knows that as soon as I opened the safe, I saw this gap, almost didn't me off!"

"I suspect that this inscription has been tampered with!"

"Fart! Shen Qiu, don't talk nonsense, don't you mean that I am doing my own thing? Am I particularly sick? I spent more than 20 million yuan to buy this inscription, and then destroyed it myself? Am I so idle! What's the matter? Do you Xuan Bao Zhai want to shirk responsibility?"
