Chapter 396 - Search for stolen goods
Suspicion is gold, look closely!
Not gold, but brocade doped with gold thread, which looks golden from a distance.
"This is the self-destruct device, right?" Wang Wei pointed to a thumb-sized paraffin ball above the brocade that was fixed to the side of the box.
In fact, this device is very simple, seal some strong corrosive natural liquid with paraffin, and then insert it into the paraffin wax with gold, and then connect it to the box, as long as the box is opened by mistake, the paraffin seal will be destroyed, and the acid will flow out, which will corrode the brocade.
Everyone sweated!
Someone once suggested that violence would be turned on, and if it was really violently turned on, it would only be a lump of coke.
Everyone carefully took out the brocade, and there were dense fly-headed small blocks on it, so that everyone was like a treasure.
In the process of excavating cultural relics, the most valuable research is this kind of written record, which is also the most difficult to preserve.
Wang Wei has a good foundation in ancient literature, and he has already understood it at a glance.
This is the life of a person, a first-class member of the Song Dynasty, that is, the owner of the stolen tomb.
According to his life report, some historical events can be verified, which is the greatest value of cultural relics with written records.
The gossip box was quickly taken away, and this kind of key physical evidence is very important for the characterization of the case.
An hour later, Wang Wei was called over, along with the team leader from a neighboring province, Zheng Changlong, and the identification expert He Longsheng.
"There is evidence that some of the stolen goods from those who robbed the tombs have flowed into Donghai City and sold them in the antique market, so our next task, mainly the task of the two experts, is to go to the antique market to investigate and see if we can find traces of the stolen goods. After all four of them arrived, Zheng Changlong announced.
Looking for stolen goods at an antique market?
Wang Wei almost laughed, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, the possibility was too small.
There are so many shops and stalls in the antique market, and if they are checked one after another, it is bound to cause a lot of confusion.
If you investigate secretly, there will inevitably be something missing.
And those who know that it is stolen goods, as long as they are not fools, know how to take them out and sell them immediately, at least for a period of time.
So this investigation is basically a matter of luck.
"Wang Wei, since we have arrived at the antique market, why don't we have another friendly match?" When he was about to set off, He Longsheng proposed again.
"As long as you're not afraid of losing, I don't care. ”
"Winning or losing is still unknown, we are checking the stolen goods at the same time, in the antique market to pick up leaks, the price of antiques within 10,000 yuan, who buys the actual price of antiques, who is the winner. He Longsheng's face immediately darkened, can't he not reveal other people's scars?
"As you said, I will add one more thing, I bought two antiques, both of which were given to the winner. ”
The two hit it off, one wanted to get back on the field, but they had already lost two games, and they were about to lose face.
The other is revenge, he was targeted as soon as they met, and he continued to be targeted, so he wanted to completely disgrace the other party.
Zheng Chenglong and Xia Ning were very helpless, the two experts were here to assist them, and they were not direct subordinates, so it was difficult for them to give orders without seriously affecting the task, so they didn't agree to the bet between the two people, but they couldn't stop it, so they could only let it go.
Then they all changed into civilian clothes, and the four of them came to the antique market, and the shops on the whole street were mostly related to antiques.

Xia Ning and Wang Wei in a group, Zheng Changlong and He Longsheng in a group, entered from both ends of the antique market.
"What's going on with you and the person surnamed He?" When they were alone, Xia Ning and Wang Wei could say something.
"The hell knows what's going on, we're meeting for the first time, and we're targeting me at every turn. ”
"You'd better be careful, this surname He is not small, he is a special appraisal expert of the neighboring provincial museum, an antique family, he must have a real ability, you are careful of capsizing in the gutter." While walking into the antique market, Xia Ning introduced the origin of the surname He.
Wang Wei nodded!
The special experts of the Provincial Museum must not be able to become by relying only on relationships, at least they must be excellent.
However, he is not afraid, if only with the knowledge of antiques, the outcome of the game between the two is unknown, but he has a perspective eye that can see treasures.
He could instantly identify any antique that he could once walk through before his eyes, even more accurately than if it had been examined with a scientific instrument.
Compare antiques with him, than pick up leaks, isn't it death?
It's afternoon, and it's almost evening, when the antique market is at its busiest, and it's full of black heads at a glance.
In recent years, antiques have become more and more popular, and there have been many ordinary people who have participated in the army of antique collection.
This street, which used to have several antique shops today, has grown to this day, and more than half of the shops are dealing in antiques.
"What do you think of this?" As she walked, Xia Ning picked up a clay pot of dust, which looked like it had just been dug up.
"The history of this clay pot is only half a year at most!" Wang Wei smiled and shook his head.
Nine out of ten antiques in the antique market are fake, and the remaining one may also be half-true.
Therefore, it is not an easy task to eat this bowl of rice after the ancient end, even those appraisal experts will be beaten at the moment.
As for a mallet like Xia Ning, that's not to mention, that's why a clay pot fired half a year ago is regarded as an antique.
"Only half a year?" Xia Ning stuck out her tongue mischievously, revealing a playful look.
She really didn't expect that she saw the old clay pot, which was still stained with dust, and it was only fired half a year ago.
It's so tricky!
On the other side, Zheng Changlong and He Longsheng walked into the antique market, chatting while walking.
"Long Sheng, we have known each other for many years, and we can be regarded as friends, just tell me the truth, what is the matter between you and Wang Wei?" asked Zheng Changlong as he walked.
"Nothing. ”
"You don't lie to me with such words, now I'm talking to you as a friend, not the captain. ”
"Well, I can only tell you one thing, when I came, someone entrusted me to meet this person, when I hit it appropriately, don't worry, I have measure, no matter what I do, it will not affect us to solve the case, I say so, you can rest assured, right?"
"I hope you know what you're doing!" The words have already been said for this part, and Zheng Changlong knows that he can't ask anything more.
At this time, Wang Wei and Xia Ning were finally about to harvest, and they found that a group of people had gathered in front of them.
"Take a look, take a look, take a look, take a look, take a look at the embroidered dragon pier in Yuan Shikai's presidential palace, 500,000 to take home. ”
When the two of them got closer, they heard someone shouting loudly inside, which did not look like selling antiques, but like selling Chinese cabbage
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
。
In the antique street, even if they set up stalls to sell antiques, they will not shout loudly to attract customers, but wait for customers to come to their door.
Fresh!
So hearing this kind of shouting, Wang Wei felt very fresh, he shook left and right in front, and the people around him were squeezed away.
Xia Ning followed behind Wang Wei and entered the circle unimpeded, and saw a man in his forties with four stone piers in front of him.
Each stone pier is carved with a giant dragon, entrenched on the stone pier.
No wonder it is called the embroidered dragon pier, it turned out to be on the stone pier, drawing a giant dragon, this kind of name is quite vivid.
Wang Wei looked at the four embroidered dragon piers, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, good things, really good things!
"Cut, what kind of embroidered dragon pier, isn't it just an ordinary stone pier? It costs 500,000 yuan, and I think it costs 50 yuan?"
When the stall owner shouted and just took a breath, some people spoke out with disdain in the crowd watching the excitement.
"This gentleman is right, this is a stone pier, but you have to see who uses it, if the emperor uses it, it is the royal stone pier, it is called the embroidered dragon pier, this is used by President Yuan Shikai when he was preparing to ascend the throne, didn't you see that the five-clawed golden dragon is depicted on it?" The stall owner was not angry, and explained to everyone with a smile.
Everyone nodded, if it was really used by the emperor, even if it was a stubborn stone, it would definitely be able to sell for a sky-high price.
It's not unusual at all, but anything that is stained with the word 'royal', which one is not worth a hundred times?
"These two are really used by President Yuan Shikai?" Xia Ning was a little unconvinced, and she was not sure, so she had to ask Wang Wei in a low voice.
"Maybe it's for the big landlord Yuan!" Wang Wei replied with a smile.
The name is the same, but a landlord and a president have very different statuses.
Xia Ning immediately understood, fake, deceitful, but he also knew the situation in the antique market, nine out of ten were fake.
"Boss, since this is the royal embroidered dragon pier, you should keep it as an heirloom, why do you take it out and sell it?" someone asked again.
"Hey, don't mention it, my son is going to marry a daughter-in-law, and my daughter-in-law must buy a house, and you know the current housing prices, but my son can't help but marry his daughter-in-law, right? When the stall owner heard someone ask, he immediately showed a sad face.
Wang Wei was unmoved, in the antique market, the most important thing is all kinds of stories, and each one is more touching than the other.
If people come to buy antiques and listen to stories, they are not far from being deceived.
"Boss, I like these four stone piers very much, can they be cheaper?" Wang Wei looked left and right, and then decided to buy them.
Hey?
Xia Ning suddenly felt very strange, just now Wang Wei clearly told her that these four stone piers were fakes, not used by Yuan Shikai at all, but now they want to buy them, isn't it back on their word?
Although he was very puzzled, he didn't bring it up immediately, he knew that Wang Wei must have his own plans, and rashly stopping it might disrupt the plan.
"How much are you going to give?" The stall owner looked at Wang Wei, there was a tendency to loosen his mouth, as long as he could sell it, it didn't matter if he sold a little less.
"Four together, 100,000!"
"Wait, tell me again, how much are you going to give? I think I heard me wrong, right?"
"You heard it right, I bought these four stone piers, how about giving you 100,000?" Wang Wei repeated again, he felt that this was too much.
