Chapter 345: Bear Country Museum
The collection in the museum is not as large as the one I saw yesterday at Louis's house, but relatively speaking, the variety of treasures is much richer, not only some European antiques, but also Asian ones.
The museum here also looks like an ordinary house, but the security system is quite advanced, which allowed Lin Xiaozhi to find some inspiration for his own security.
While visiting, in addition to those foreign collections, I unexpectedly saw the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty.
Yu Siman was quite surprised when he saw it: "Do foreigners still collect blue and white porcelain?"
This kind of collection is generally more popular in China, and foreigners prefer domestic bronzes rather than fragile items such as porcelain.
Simber hurriedly explained: "This is a treasure, which is why the museum will collect this." ”
Lin Xiaozhi was also quite curious at first, but after taking a closer look, he immediately frowned.
"It's fake. ”
When everyone heard Lin Xiaozhi say this, they all looked at him in surprise, this is in a foreign museum, how many people's eyes have passed here, and it is actually fake.
Xin Bai asked directly: "Xiao Zhi, are you sure this is fake?"
Lin Xiaozhi nodded affirmatively: "It's fake." ”
His vision can't be wrong, and he naturally doesn't lie.
Lin Xiaozhi said this, he had previous experience in Xin Bai's house, and Xin Bai also believed his words and asked people to call the curator.
The curator was a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes, and the top of his head had been shaved to a shiny bald head, and he was quite warm when he saw a group of foreigners visiting.
The extremely fast tone of Xiong Chinese can only be heard by Simber.
Seeing that most of the people were confused, the curator thoughtfully changed to English, with a strong accent in English, which can be heard clearly.
"Welcome guests from afar, please feel free to visit, the exhibits here are all donated. ”
The curator laughed, quite proud of the scale of his exhibits.
The museums here are not bought, but donated by others, which shows the breadth of his connections, but also shows the strength of his ability, and he also makes no secret of his pride in the guests at this moment.
Xin Bai explained the situation, and just said that the blue and white porcelain was fake, the curator's enthusiastic smiling face suddenly cooled down, and he looked at everyone with a dark face.
"What do you Orientals know? Fake? Can you understand such an ancient treasure?"
This collection was brought back by the curator himself, and it was said that it was fake, so he was naturally dissatisfied in his heart.
After speaking, the curator drove a few people away.
"You get out of here, I don't welcome you. ”
The curator's face was gloomy, and he was unceremonious to everyone.
Although many Chinese have gone to Xiong Country for business or study, and there are also many Chinese tourists who come to play, these Caucasian people still have a superior thinking in their bones.
Seeing that he was about to be kicked out, Xin Bai had no choice but to reveal his identity.
He used Xiong Chinese, Lin Xiaozhi and several people couldn't hear what he was saying, and the curator's expression was no longer hard when he heard this, but he was surprised.
His hostile attitude subsided a lot, and he explained: "I bought it from the auction house at a high price, how can it be fake?"
It is rare for the curator to buy antiques by himself, but he bought a fake, so it would be strange that he would give Lin Xiaozhi and others a good look.
Lin Xiaozhi and the others were suddenly stunned, no wonder the curator's attitude was so cold, if it was donated by others, he would not be so angry.
Lin Xiaozhi knew that only facts could explain the curator, so he stretched out his hand to point out several flaws on the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty.
"These pieces are cracks that will not appear when fired in the Yuan Dynasty, as well as the misfit of the lines. ”
Lin Xiaozhi explained that he took care that the curator might not understand what he said, so he tried to adjust it to a simple statement.
The curator really didn't have much research on porcelain, but Lin Xiaozhi explained it in simple terms, from the change of temperature to the expansion coefficient of the embryo body, which opened his eyes, as if he had been taught a lesson.
Suddenly, he was amazed and continued to sigh with the emotion of "magical Oriental".
After Lin Xiaozhi finished speaking, the curator had already believed Lin Xiaozhi and waved his arms angrily.
"Those bastard Frenchmen! Sold me some fakes!"
After venting his anger, his tone became humble and respectful, and asked, "How do you know that this is fake, and you can still explain it in such detail?"
Of course, Lin Xiaozhi would not tell him his true identity, but said: "I am a student, and I just happened to learn this content, so I know." ”
He's not lying, after all, it's true.
The curator didn't ask any more questions, took the key himself, opened the protective cover of the vase, and took it out.
Several people were quite puzzled by his actions, only to see the curator take out the vase, hold it and fall directly to the ground, smashed it, his actions made everyone startled.
All the negative emotions of the curator seemed to be released in this smash, and he smiled: "You can't fool others anymore, the fake ones will be broken." ”
When he said this, the people's sense of repulsion from his fierce attitude weakened, and they were even more amazed when they saw this man's integrity.
Lin Xiaozhi also admired the curator's domineering attitude when he said that he would smash it.
This thing is not a dollar or two, and the auction is worth a lot of money.
The curator became friendly to everyone again, and even became a little more affectionate, taking everyone inside, and invited: "Do you want to see more precious collections? ”
When he said this, everyone was also quite curious, and they all agreed to go inside.
Lin Xiaozhi followed a few positions behind, carefully observed the collection inside, and saw an empty collection table, which aroused Lin Xiaozhi's interest.
"Is this the Emperor's new clothes? the kind that ordinary people can't see?"
Lin Xiaozhi joked, and the curator looked over and saw Lin Xiaozhi pointing to the empty collection table, so he explained.
"The collection was stolen, it was originally a crystal skull, but because the value could not be identified, and the thief was not found, it was left empty and nothing else. ”
Everyone was surprised when they heard the curator's explanation, they were the bear country that came for the crystal skull, but they didn't expect to find a clue here.
Lin Xiaozhi and Xin Bai glanced at each other, and Lin Xiaozhi asked, "When was this crystal skull stolen?"
The curator recalled for a while and said, "It's been stolen for a long time, and I can't remember exactly when." ”
Hearing what the curator said, everyone also knew that the clue was broken, and they were quite disappointed.
It seems that it is not so easy to find information about the crystal skulls, so I can only find clues on the only two crystal skulls that there are now.
