Chapter 214: Appraisal
"What do you mean?" asked Liu Caiwang puzzled.
"I know that there is a folk legend that says that there is only one Yongzi at the bottom of the porcelain made by the official kiln during the Yongzheng period, and the Yongzi must be less than one stroke to be true. But I can tell you now that this legend is fake!" Lu Fan said with certainty.
The bottom of this porcelain bowl has a missing Yongzi character.
"How is it possible?" Liu Caiwang snatched the bowl and held it in his hand, "This is a treasure I bought for 400,000 yuan, how can it be fake?"
"400,000 yuan? I don't think 400 yuan is worth it. Lu Fan shook his head.
A fake is a fake, and even if it looks like the real thing, it's worthless.
"It's impossible, I've heard of this statement too, many people agree with it, and Boss Liu has also found many experts to identify it, can't those experts admit it wrong?" a policeman couldn't help but question.
You know, the authenticity of these things played a crucial role in the conviction of these two servants.
If these things are true, it is a treasure worth millions, and stealing a treasure of such a high value is of course much more serious than stealing a pile of worthless fakes.
"I remember. Tang Yuxi had been thinking hard since just now, and now he finally screamed in surprise.
"In a book on the appreciation of Qing Dynasty porcelain published in May this year, it was mentioned that there are only three kinds of styles at the bottom of the porcelain of the Yongzheng official kiln, namely the Yongzheng year system of the Qing Dynasty, the Yongzheng year system and the Yongzheng imperial system, and there is no missing Yongzi word!"
"What kind of book are you reading? Is the person who published the book professional? I have been appraised by the top experts in Yizhou City and Qilu Province!" Treating Tang Yuxi, Liu Caiwang was not so polite to Lu Fan.
In his opinion, Tang Yuxi is just a flower ** who follows Lu Fan, although it is indeed very beautiful, but as long as you have money, how beautiful a girl can't find it?
So you don't need to be polite to treat such flowers.
"Hehe, the book I read is a new one by Professor Jin Ming, vice president of the National Museum, the name is Qing Dynasty porcelain, if Boss Liu is interested, you can find it to study. Tang Yuxi also fought back unceremoniously.
Liu Wangcai had nothing to say.
The figure at the level of the director of the National Museum can basically represent the highest level in the domestic antique industry.
And Jin Ming's attainments in Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain are world-famous, and in this field, he can be regarded as the first person in the world.
If he explicitly says so in the book, then it must be true, even if it is false!
Then, Liu Wangcai looked at the porcelain bowl in his hand and wanted to cry without tears.
This broken bowl must be fake, and his 400,000 yuan has also been lost.
"Okay, now that the bowl is clearly fake, let's talk about these two paintings. Lu Fan picked up the two oil paintings again, "These two oil paintings are not signed, but you still treat them as treasures, which means that you think they are Senna's paintings, right?"
"Hmm. Liu Caiwang replied dejectedly, he had a sense of foreboding.
"Senna is a famous Neo-Impressionist painter in the West, and his characteristic is that he does not like to sign names, so the paintings without signatures are the most valuable, that is, his paintings. Tang Yuxi also has a certain understanding of Western oil painting.
But she couldn't tell the picture from the fake.
"It's not that Senna doesn't like signatures, he just hides them. Lu Fan said with a smile, "Senna's habit is to sign with blue oil paint first, and then paint, using a painting to cover the signature." ”
"In this case, the signatures are indeed covered, how can we find out?" Tang Yuxi was a little puzzled.
The signature is an oil painting, and it is impossible for anyone to see the signature stamped under the painting.
"If it was before, I'm afraid it would really not be easy to find, but modern science and technology are so developed, and there happen to be people from the police here, let them take a multi-band light to shine, and everything will be very clear. Lu Fan pointed to a few policemen.
Several policemen turned color on the spot, and one of them couldn't help but ask, "How do you know that we have a multi-band light? How do you know what a multi-band light does?"
Multi-band light is a special light source used by the police when inspecting the scene, which can effectively detect vague fingerprints, bloodstains and other traces.
Its main function is to emit monochromatic light, and use the difference between the absorption rate of various colors and the background to enhance the contrast of the trace.
Therefore, if the oil painting is signed with blue oil paint and then painted, the traces of the signature can be seen when the multi-band lamp is illuminated.
But this kind of thing is generally known to insiders, why does this young man know?
This made several police officers a little suspicious.
"Hehe, don't be nervous, multi-band lights are widely used, and they are not just used in criminal investigation. Lu Fan didn't care at all.
The police were speechless, and they took out the multi-band light and put on red glasses, but the result of the examination was that there were no signatures.
"Okay, I see......" Liu Caiwang was already sitting on the sofa as if he was wilting, and he was very depressed.
In just a short period of time, he has experienced great sorrow to great joy and then great sorrow, and now he has not cried, which can be regarded as a good psychological endurance.
Lu Fan also seemed to see Liu Caiwang's depression: "There are still a few left, I won't explain where they are fake, in short, they are all fakes." ”
He couldn't bear to continue to expose Liu Caiwang's scars.
However, now that Lu Fan said such a thing, no one dared to ignore it anymore.
After all, two successes in a row are in front of everyone, no matter what he says now, everyone has to think about it.
"Then let's take these things back and find someone to do the appraisal. "The police at the head are more vigilant.
He doesn't even call these things antiques anymore.
"Go, go, go. Liu Caiwang sat there and waved his hand in despair.
The policeman left with people and things, and he didn't get up to see him off, just sat there in a daze.
Lu Fan and Tang Yuxi glanced at each other, it seemed that their lunch was also soaked in soup.
However, this big fat man has just experienced this kind of human tragedy, and it is indeed a little inhumane to let him take care of the food.
Lu Fan had no choice but to order takeout to eat, and by the way, he also helped Liu Caiwang order one.
"Lao Liu, you won't forget all your business, will you? I'm here to help you treat people. ”
After eating, looking at Liu Caiwang, who was still depressed, Lu Fan couldn't help frowning. "Oh yes, there's still business to do!" Liu Caiwang cheered up and began to eat.
