"You mean, you think that there are so many fake antiques and this kind of thing is not normal in itself, so you think that there is something else after this incident?"

Carter asked, handing Zheng Zheng a bottle of beer.

Zheng Zheng ate the takeaway pizza, took the napkin handed by Bai Xiaoxue on the side, wiped his mouth, and then took the beer handed over by Carter. He nodded and said, "That's the case, this thing itself is not normal. If you were a layman, you wouldn't have collected so many Buddha statues. If he wasn't a pure layman, he must have his own reasons for collecting so many fake antiques. ”

After opening the beer and taking a sip, Zheng Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "So, when I thought that these antiques were fake antiques, I felt that there was another problem in them, so I wanted to re-see these Buddha statues." And this reading confirmed my thoughts. Your grandfather collected these Buddha statues for his own reasons. ”

Although Zheng Zheng used the bronze balance to see what was going on here, how to explain this matter to Carter clearly, the key is to explain it reasonably, this is a troublesome matter. Although Zheng Zheng is an acting school, he also relied on pondering vigorously when eating takeout, so he explained the matter to Carter while eating.

Naturally, I can't say what is going on with the bronze scale, what Zheng Zheng said to Bai Xiaoxue and Carter is the words he pondered: Zheng Zheng looked at these antiques and then felt that this thing was not quite right, and re-looked at these Buddha statues, and found the secrets hidden in these Buddha statues.

What Zheng Zheng said was well-founded, reasonable, and Carter and Bai Xiaoxue couldn't figure out any flaws when they heard it. Although Carter would also raise some questions about Zheng Zheng's statement, he was also rejected by Zheng Zheng with a pre-conceived statement.

Now that Carter has no doubts, it is time for Zheng Zheng to unravel the mystery. He took a sip of beer, pointed to the Buddha statues, and said to Carter, "These Buddha statues are all fake, and you can't be wrong about that." But just among these Buddha statues, a real antique is hidden. I guess that's why your grandfather had so many forged Buddha statues. ”

Carter was overjoyed, then puzzled and asked, "Is there a real antique hidden......?" Mr. Zheng, I don't understand what you mean. ”

Zheng Zheng nodded, walked over to the strange Buddha statue, and took down the Blue Dragon Glaive Knife. He raised the Blue Dragon Glaive in his hand at Carter, and said with a smile, "Miss Carter, have you heard of the Three Kingdoms era in China?"

Karton nodded: "I've read the relevant books and know a little about this, but I don't know much about it. ”

"It's a lot easier to explain. Zheng Zheng nodded, weighed the Qinglong Glaive in his hand, and said to Carter: "Miss Carter, since you have some knowledge of China's Three Kingdoms Era, then you should know that there is a very famous military general named Guan Yu in the Three Kingdoms Era, right?"

"Yes," Carter paused and said in oddly pronounced Chinese, "Guan Yu, the word cloud is long." ”

After speaking, she smiled and said, "Mr. Zheng, am I right?"

Zheng Zheng nodded and said, "The pronunciation is still quite correct...... Since Miss Carter knows this, then you must also know Guan Yu's weapon, which is this Qinglong Glaive Knife. ”

"I know this, but what does this have to do with this?" asked Carter.

Zheng Zheng smiled, drank all the remaining beer, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "Among these Buddha statues, there is a statue of Guan Yu hidden. This Qinglong Glaive is a part of one of the Buddha statues, and the other parts of Guan Yu's statue are also fused into those Buddha statues in this way. That's why it's obvious why these statues are fake, because your grandfather just used them as a container and didn't spend much time on them. It seems to me that your grandfather must have thought of this situation as well, and in order to prevent someone from selling these Buddha statues, he would deliberately make these Buddha statues as obvious fakes. ”、

Carter and Bai Xiaoxue both listened to it, and they didn't react for a while. Not to mention the two of them, Zheng Zheng also took a lot of effort to sort out this matter. And after thinking about this matter clearly, Zheng Zheng felt that he was not busy in vain this time, this is a real long-term insight...... Zheng Zheng has not seen the method of hiding antiques in fakes before, but Zheng Zheng has really never seen such a big deal before.

lit a cigarette and took two puffs, Zheng Zheng didn't speak, he also gave Carter a little time to accept this matter. When a cigarette was about to be smoked, Carter exhaled a low breath and said, "Mr. Zheng, how sure are you in your judgment?"

"I'm absolutely sure, but there's one thing I have to tell you first. ”

Zheng Zheng just waited for her to start talking, and when she started talking, Zheng Zheng took the opportunity to say what he wanted to say: "If you want to put together this statue of Guan Yu, you must remove the parts of this statue from these Buddha statues." I've seen it, except for this Qinglong Glaive Knife, the other parts can't be disassembled so easily. If you want to disassemble those parts, it will cause irreversible damage to the Buddha statue, and it will be difficult to restore it. ”

With that, the expression on Carter's face changed a little. Zheng Zheng looked at Carter's face, and then continued: "Although I am absolutely sure of this matter, I still need your nod to do this." These Buddha statues are something that your grandfather left for you, whether it's true or not, it's a memorial. If you have doubts or refuses, then I can understand that. ”

Zheng Zheng said this from the heart, and he didn't mean to dig a pit and stumble. Although Carter and Zheng Zheng have known each other for a long time, they still don't have a particularly deep friendship when it comes to friendship, and it is understandable if Carter can't trust Zheng Zheng in this kind of thing. Besides, these Buddha statues are a thought left by Carter's grandfather, and although they are worthless now, they are complete Buddha statues. If Zheng Zheng unloaded them one by one, and Zheng Zheng hadn't formed a valuable antique that could change Carter's current situation, then it would be inappropriate to think about it.

In Zheng Zheng's opinion, if he saw this method today, it would be worth the fare, if he unloaded these Buddha statues and took out the parts to form a Guan Gong statue, this would be something that could be done with his hands. If Carter rejected his suggestion, it would not hurt him, anyway, it would not be a loss to see this method today.

So Zheng Zheng didn't speak after saying this, waiting for Carter's statement on the side. He didn't rush Carter, who had to weigh this kind of thing? Zheng Zheng was not in a hurry.

Carter looked at Zheng Zheng, then at the Buddha statues in the room, and then lowered his head in contemplation, and the expression on his face changed vigorously. After talking for five minutes, Carter spoke, and his voice was astringent: "Mr. Zheng, how much is the statue of Guan Yu that was spliced together?"

Zheng Zheng shook his head and said with some regret: "I don't know this yet, because I can only sketch a general image in my head, and I can't give a price before I see the real thing." However, it seems to me that your grandfather put so much effort into hiding this statue that the value of this statue should be extraordinary. I don't know if this statue will solve your current situation, but this statue should be of great help to your situation. ”

This is true. Not to mention whether Zheng Zheng has seen the statue of Guan Yu or not, Zheng Zheng doesn't know about Carter's current situation, how much money does her family owe? How much money has not been paid back? Zheng Zheng does not know any of this, so naturally he can't make any guarantees with Carter.

"Hoo ......"

Carter took a deep breath, as if he had made up a lot of determination, and said to Zheng Zheng: "Mr. Zheng, please do what you think, I ...... Trust you. ”

Zheng Zheng nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Zheng Zheng knew in his heart that Carter's trust in him was basically discounted, but Carter had no other choice now and had to "believe" Zheng Zheng. But this is also human nature, Zheng Zheng understands it in his heart, and he doesn't go to his heart.

Zheng Zheng has also seen those Buddha statues, which are basically copper or porcelain. The bronze Buddha statues are a little easier to disassemble, because the parts hidden in this kind of Buddha statue are not integrated with the Buddha statue itself, and they can be disassembled even if you have a lot of strength. The trouble is those porcelain, there are no parts of the statue on the outside of this porcelain statue, Zheng Zheng pondered that the parts that make up the statue of Guan Yu should be in the Buddha statue. If you want to open it, you have to carefully smash the porcelain Buddha statue open, so that the parts hidden inside can be removed.

To be honest, Zheng Zheng is not very sure about this, he just saw from the bronze balance that these Buddha statues that do not have the parts that make up the Guan Yu statue on the surface, there are parts that make up the Guan Yu statue. Since you can't find it on this porcelain surface, it's inside this Buddha statue.

It stands to reason that this is indeed the case, but Zheng Zheng is just pondering according to the results given by the bronze scale. If what you ponder is similar to the meaning of the bronze balance, then everyone will be happy. But if you misunderstand the meaning of the bronze scale, then the fun is not ordinary......

But now, Carter has nodded, and Zheng Zheng can only bite the bullet. Anyway, smash open a Buddha statue first and then look at it, whether your thinking is right or not, smash open a porcelain Buddha statue and take a look at it It will be clear.

Taking a deep breath secretly, Zheng Zheng picked out a porcelain Buddha from among those Buddha statues. He looked at Carter's expression and saw that Carter had no intention of stopping him, so he smashed the porcelain Buddha in his hand into the corner of the table.
