Chapter 201: Finding Chao Yuan

Liu Lao and Xue Lao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after hearing Lin Lao's words, but soon Liu Lao said: "I have seen this Dou Mohan, he volunteered to join the work of the History and Culture Museum shortly after the liberation, and at the same time, he has not imitated any cultural relics collections, and even his two apprentices have been forbidden by him to fake and deceive people." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info But it didn't take long for his second apprentice Chao Yuan to violate his door rules, and continued to fake to deceive people, when Dou Mohan knew about it, he expelled his second apprentice Chao Yuan from the division, and when Chao Yuan left, he also warned him that if he was found to be fake and deceive people, his hands would be wasted. ”

When Liu Lao said this, Xue Lao also nodded and said: "I have also heard about this, but what is even more regrettable is that this master of high imitation was persecuted to death in ten years of turmoil, and his superb skills have since followed him. Although his two apprentices inherited his pottery and calligraphy and painting respectively, there was no use at that time, and his eldest apprentice Mu Linshan was depressed for a long time because of his master's death, and finally the old man personally invited Mu Linshan to his museum and served as the deputy director, and since then the two have become friends. ”

When Yun Xi heard this, he seemed to understand something, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Old Lin, is that Mu Linshan still working in the museum now?" Why don't we ask him if he knows the whereabouts of his junior brother? ”

At this moment, Lin Lao shook his head and said: "Mu Linshan passed away a few years ago, and I think it was because of Mu Linshan's death that Chao Yuan returned to his old business." Now that his master and brother are no longer alive, no one can recognize his methods anymore, but I didn't expect that this time you will see the flaws, and our top priority now is to find this source as soon as possible, otherwise once his fakes flow into the market too much, it will definitely bring panic to the antique world. ”

At this time, Liu Lao and Xue Lao both nodded in agreement with Lin Lao's opinion, but Yun Xi said: "Since we have mastered Chao Yuan's imprint technique, then we can also remind the people in the antique world, if we encounter such a fake next time, we may be able to catch this Chao Yuan." ”

"Yun Xi, you think too simply, this kind of marking technique is not only this, that Dou Mohan used three marking techniques when he was counterfeiting, and each time the technique is different, he is just like the chivalrous man who robs the rich and helps the poor, every time he imitates a work, he will leave his own unique mark, and his two apprentices have also learned these marking techniques, so I am now very sure that this "Boiling Tea Picture" is from Chao Yuan's hand."

After hearing Liu Lao's words, Yun Xi also fell silent, and at the same time, he was also thinking about how to find the apprentice of this high imitation master. At this time, Liu Hao said: "I have seen this Chao Yuan, he must be the old man who sold me calligraphy and paintings, we can access the surveillance video in Pan's homeland, as long as we get his picture, we can catch him." ”

As soon as Liu Hao finished speaking, Lin Lao stopped and said: "No, we can't arrest him with such fanfare, after all, he is also a master of counterfeiting, and it shouldn't be difficult for him to come out with a fake identity." And if some lawbreakers know about his counterfeiting technology and coerce and lure, the harm to this society will be even greater, so we can only arrest him secretly, and once he is caught, we must bring him back to the capital as soon as possible, and we can't let those lawbreakers know his identity. ”

When Lin Lao said this, Liu Lao and Xue Lao both nodded, and at the same time, Xue Lao also said: "The sooner this matter of Chao Yuan is resolved, the better, and now I don't know how many such high-imitation fakes he has entered the market, so control him as soon as possible to prevent the emergence of such high-quality imitations." ”

When Yun Xi and Shi pity had lunch at Liu's house, they walked out of the gate of Liu's house accompanied by Liu Hao, and then heard Yun Xi say to Liu Hao: "Brother Hao, I really can't blame you for this incident, even those appraisers have been blinded, so don't take it to heart." Besides, the "Boiling Tea Picture" is also very exquisite, even if it is sold on the market, it can be worth tens of thousands of yuan, if Brother Hao wants to change hands, I am willing to pay 100,000 yuan to buy it. ”

"Yun Shao, can we stop mentioning this matter? I now want to find a crack in the ground and turn it in, I originally wanted to make the old man happy, but who knew that it was a fake, and now I finally realized that playing with this antique is really not something that ordinary people can afford, and the doorway in it is really deep. By the way, Yunxi, can I ask you something? After you go back, don't tell what you saw today, especially that Xue Er, that guy's mouth is like an eighth woman, I don't want those family members in the capital to know about my troubles. ”

Looking at Liu Hao's dejected face, Shi Pity couldn't help but giggle, and Yun Xi couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, Brother Hao, I won't say anything about today's matter, if you encounter any good objects in the future, call me, I will definitely help you palm your eyes." ”

"Well, I'll call you next time, you're much more powerful than those famous appraisers, why didn't I think of you in the first place, I'm really stupid."

When Yun Xi and Shi Pi returned to the villa, Shi Pi asked: Yun Xi, do you also want to find this Chao Yuan? ”

Yun Xi nodded and said, "I admire his skills, we should recruit him into the ninth group of a talent like this, and at the same time, he can imitate such a beautiful work has already proved his talent, so I also want to see what kind of person this disciple of the master of high imitation is." ”

"And how do you find him? Who knows where he went? ”

Yun Xi smiled and said, "This Chao Yuan must be very confident in the works he imitated, so he will leave this mark technique, and he has just sold a work, I believe that there must be other works in his hands that he wants to get rid of." Now he probably doesn't know that we've seen through his painting as a fake, so he'll still be in the antique market, and I'll be able to find him when I get my hands on his video image. ”

After hearing Yun Xi's words, Shi Pi also understood what he meant. But more than a month has passed since they waited, and at the same time, the school has already opened, and Yun Xi is waiting for Chao Yuan to appear again while going to school. He had already notified the monitoring centers of all the antique markets in the capital, and as soon as he found the traces of Chao Yuan, he would notify him immediately, and he also transmitted the video images he got to each monitoring center.

Just as Yun Xi was waiting patiently, Shi Pity said a little uncontrollably: "Yun Xi, it's been so long, but that Chao Yuan hasn't appeared yet, will he have already left the capital to sell his calligraphy and paintings somewhere else?" ”

Yun Xi smiled slightly and said, "It's possible for you to guess like this, but the antique market in the capital is also one of the largest in the country, and there are a lot of tourists coming and going here every day, especially those foreign guests and tourists are the target he wants to start." I have roughly guessed some of the reasons why he has not appeared yet, he must be waiting for the effect period of the "Boiling Tea Picture", as long as no one can identify the authenticity of this calligraphy and painting, he will shoot again sooner or later. ”

Sure enough, more than half a month later, Yunxi finally received a call from the Liulichang monitoring center, and those security personnel told him on the phone that he had found the person he was looking for. At this time, after Yun Xi thanked those security personnel again, he immediately rushed to the Liuli Factory with pity.

When they came to Liulichang, there was already a security guard waiting for them, and at the same time, the security guard also told Yun Xi that they said: "Mr. Yun, the old man you are looking for has just entered an antique shop, and we also saw that the old man also has a picture scroll in his hand, I think he should have taken the picture scroll into the transaction." After thanking the security guard again, Yun Xi went with him to the door of the antique shop.

When Yun Xi looked up at the plaque of "Mo Bao Zhai" hanging above the lintel of this antique store, he already knew that this was a time-honored antique store. At this time, the security officer also said to him: "Mr. Yun, the owner of this antique shop is called Hou Yanqing, and their family has been operating here for decades, so this 'Mo Bao Zhai' can be regarded as a time-honored brand here." Mr. Yun, I'll call a few colleagues over here in a moment, and if you need anything, just tell us. ”

Yun Xi nodded, and walked into the antique shop with pity. As soon as they entered the door, a waiter greeted them warmly and said: "Welcome two distinguished guests to our store, I don't know what kind of antiques the two distinguished customers want to buy, in addition to the famous calligraphy and painting in our store, there are porcelain, pottery, bronze and jade, etc., which can definitely meet the requirements of the two distinguished guests." ”

At this moment, Yun Xi smiled and said: "We came with the old gentleman just now, he should be staying with your boss now, we are also here to take him home, do you know which room they are in?" ”

After the waiter glanced at Yun Xi and them, he pointed to the innermost room and said, "That old gentleman has been invited to his office by our boss just now, if you want to find him, go to the boss's office to find him." ”

After Yun Xi thanked the waiter, he walked towards the office with Shi Pity, and when they came to the door of the office, Yun Xi directly pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as he entered the house, Yun Xi saw two people sitting there talking about something, and there was a calligraphy and painting in front of them.

At this time, Yun Xi had already focused his eyes on the old man, and the other person was a middle-aged man, Yun Xi knew that this middle-aged man should be Hou Yanqing, the boss of "Mo Bao Zhai". But the person he was looking for was this old man who looked to be about sixty or seventy years old, and at the same time, Yun Xi also saw the appearance of this old man, he was the imitation master Chao Yuan he was looking for.
