Chapter 375: Convincing
"Mr. Wei, don't sell it, tell us quickly!" someone shouted regardless of the image.
Clermont seconded: "Mr. Wei, you said that this ring is a murder weapon, I don't know what kind of weapon it is, and how to kill people?"
"yes, yes?"
There was a buzz in the room, and many people leaned close to whisper, secretly speculating.
Wei Xiu smiled, raised the ring and gestured, and then pinched the black diamond, gently rotated it in a counterclockwise direction, and after rotating to a certain geometric position, the black diamond fell off directly from the ring, revealing an inconspicuous hollow.
"If I'm right, this gold ring is poisoned to kill people, and black diamonds are used to cover the hollow location of the drug. Since it can kill, it is a weapon, Lord Manvis Prussia, don't you say?" Wei Xiu asked Manvis Prussia meaningfully, and after saying that, the gold, black, and diamond ancient ring that was casually split in two was placed on the waiter's tray.
Manvis Prussia smiled and nodded, not seeming to perceive the meaning of Wei Xiu.
Everyone looked at the separated gold and black diamond ancient rings in shock, and the shock in their hearts was indescribable. In particular, Sir Sebastian, the original owner of the ring, was even more wide-eyed, and it was hard to believe that the golden ancient ring he had worn for two years still had such an exquisite mechanism.
You must know that when this gold black diamond ring was discovered at that time, it also caused a lot of sensation in the antique and jewelry worlds.
After taking the ring, Sir Sebastian hired relevant appraisal institutions and scholars to help test it, but even so, no one found that there was a mechanism hidden in this gold ring!
'Could it be that this Wei Xiu is really a treasure connoisseur, not a compliment from Manvis Prussia?' The thought came to the minds of everyone present.
"I have a doubt, Mr. Wei, I wonder if you can help me clear up my doubt?" said Sir Sebastian, who could not help himself, and stood up.
"You say. Wei Xiu looked downright and generous.
"After I took this ring into my pocket, I also hired relevant scholars and appraisal agencies to identify it, but no one noticed anything strange at the time. If the scholars didn't find out, I can understand that, after all, manpower is sometimes poor, but why didn't the appraisal agency check it out at the time? Could this hollow be just a coincidence?"
Sebastian didn't say it too obviously, but the meaning was enough to remind everyone in the room that vanity is a common human nature. In medieval Europe, perennial conquest and war, low social productivity, although the life of the royal family is much better than that of the commoners, but it is also stretched to support the consumption of luxury goods, so the hollow ring to save gold is undoubtedly a way to get the best of both worlds.
Not to mention Europe, even similar things are common in China. For example, after digging an ancient tomb, many tomb robbers found that all the jewels in the tomb were fake. This is just that the nobles with cysts and shy cysts at that time deliberately dropped the real money and silver in the funeral goods in order to protect their face, anyway, it is impossible for others to open the coffin for inspection, which not only retains the face of the funeral in the scenery, but also leaves vested interests.
Wei Xiu smiled and said: "Sir Sebastian is very thoughtful, manpower is sometimes poor, but there are still loopholes in technology!"
The audience quietly listened to Wei Xiu's arrogant words.
"I started by playing with technology, and I know that there is no absolutely perfect technology in this world, and any technology has loopholes and shortcomings, which is inevitable. This gold and black diamond ancient ring was not checked out, the reason is very simple, the mechanism of this ring is not a mechanism in the usual sense, there are switches, control equipment and other things. Speaking of which, this is a vessel. โ
"A piece of black diamond special geometry as a "cover" to hide poison, can only be unscrewed by rotating to a special angle, so such a treasure as a treasure of human history, naturally no appraiser or scholar dares to twist the black diamond at will, after all, the texture of gold is also very soft, isn't it?"
"As for why the machine couldn't detect it?" Wei Xiu smiled: "Diamonds are known for their transparency, and real diamonds are invisible under X-rays, so how can the appraisal agency find that the ring is hollow?
Speaking of this, Wei Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, the possibility of the coincidence mentioned by Sir Sebastian cannot be ruled out, but the moment I opened the black diamond just now, I found that there was a slight residue of black powder in it, you can check whether this is a drug residue." โ
Wei Xiu's words stunned everyone, and Clermont strode up to the waiter, picked up the ring, and looked at it carefully, and then his face was full of astonishment, obviously discovering the black powder that Wei Xiu said.
When things have come to this point, do you still use the so-called test? Wei Xiu's logical and clear words have already convinced the audience that what Wei Xiu said should be the truth.
At this time, I don't know how many people's eyes have changed when they look at Wei Xiu, and they can find the secret from the gold ring that many scholars and appraisal institutions have not found, this Wei Xiu is really not simple! It can definitely be called a master-level treasure connoisseur! At this moment, everyone suddenly felt convinced of Wei Xiu's ability to appreciate treasures.
Because of Wei Xiu's discovery, this gold and black diamond ancient ring has appeared in the same hot situation as an auction house, I don't know how many people rushed to auction it, and the auction price is rising steadily, as for its original owner, Sir Sebastian, I am afraid that his intestines will be repentant.
Wei Xiu, who sat back in his seat, returned to a calm expression again, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking like an elegant gentleman, but Wei Xiu's previous passionate tasting could not make people believe that Wei Xiu would be a quiet person.
Manvis Prussia glanced at Wei Xiu, and he suddenly thought of an animalโa cheetah. This Wei Xiu is like a cheetah, he looks like an ordinary youth when he is quiet, and once he gets angry, especially when he hits others, he can pick up anything and use it as a weapon.
'Quiet as a virgin and moving like a rabbit!' Manvis Prussia flashed this classic quote in his heart, and sighed slightly in his heart.
The charity auction culminated in a bustling event, raising 16.34 million euros for European human rights organizations.
Wei Xiu also gave away two million euros near the end of the auction.
On the way back, Ni Zijun suddenly asked Wei Xiu, "You don't deal with that Manvis?"
Wei Xiu was stunned for a moment and said, "No, why do you say that?"
"I see you seem to be targeting him. Ni Zijun said seriously.
When Wei Xiu heard this, his eyes lowered slightly and said: "This Manvis wants to drag me into the water, I am not like him who has been rooted in Europe for hundreds of years, and the slightest mistake will be death, so I have to warn him." โ
Ni Zijun didn't hear the whispers between Manvis Prussia and Wei Xiu, so he didn't know what Wei Xiu meant by "going into the water". However, listening to Wei Xiu's tone, it is obviously not a good thing.
He ...... Won't you be angry?" Ni Zijun asked tentatively.
