It didn't take long for a while, I only heard Xu Shaodong's hearty laughter, and I saw him holding his head high, and he walked in, followed by Wu Chen and Kong Si, carrying a bronze statue horizontally, it was a feeling of heavy hands, and when he put it on the desk, he could feel the weight.

"A bronze man!" Xu Shaodong saw that everyone was stunned, and he couldn't hold it back, and said with a smile, this bronze figure is real, but it has nothing to do with precision casting.

"It was stolen from that temple, right? It's still a half-finished product. Wang Yourong also smiled, this bronze figure is full of 1.8 meters, stunned, if it is said that the Buddha statue has no shape, the face is blurred, it is really possible to cast half of the standing Buddha statue.

"That's not right! It's kind of interesting. Li Lao glanced at it, and immediately said loudly, "You see, the human form is upright, with both hands stretched out and palms forward. This can't be a Buddha statue, it's a bit like an acupuncture bronze figure! Li Tou, what do you say? ”

"The general outline should be an imitation acupuncture bronze figure, but the casting is very rough, it seems that when it was imitated, it was not yet formed, and it was discarded after it was cast." Li Lao circled around the bronze man and knocked it with his hand, the copper skin seemed to be too thick, and there was no clear echo like the hollow bronze statue.

"Hey, I said that these are two treasures?" Wang Yourong couldn't help but say with pity, although he saw that Wu Chen had a good relationship with Xu Ershao and had no intention of provoking, but in the morning, he was a little blushing at Wu Chen's performance, and he felt very unhappy that he was a little on the edge, "It looks very heavy, and it can be worth some money to sell rags." ”

"What's going on?" Tian Lao was still very confident in Wu Chen, but he didn't expect to get such a bunch of things, and he couldn't see it at all, it was just a mixed bronze statue, and there was not even a gap.

"I don't know what to say." As soon as Wu Chen's words came out, Kong Si felt that his head was big, and he didn't know anything, what kind of fun are you using to make a scene!

Wu Chen continued: "I just think it's a little weird, so I want to ask you to give me a palm. ”

After speaking, he told the process of how to get this bronze statue, of course, naturally, omitting things about Lin Zhen and Xu Jing.

"Hehe, what's so weird about this, it's clear at a glance!" Wang Yourong couldn't help but pursed his lips, his face full of sarcasm.

Wu Chen didn't bother to pay attention to him, and directly said the key point: "This bronze statue, I have knocked it many times, and it doesn't feel solid, but the weight is wrong, it seems to be sandwiched!" ”

Xu Shaodong and Kong Si hadn't heard anything yet, but a few old men had heard something from Wu Chen's words.

"Huh?" Li Lao walked over again, knocked and touched the bronze statue very carefully, felt that it was not enjoyable, and asked Tian Zhongze for a small copper hammer, clanging, and knocked it along the side of the bronze statue.

"What do you mean?" Xu Shaodong saw that Li Lao's face was becoming more and more solemn, could there really be any mystery.

"You haven't struck the bell, have you? If it is a hollow copper product, there will be an echo when knocked, and the echo will gradually increase and delay with the vibrating space, so the sound sounds crisp and long. ”

"However, if you listen carefully, this bronze piece can hardly be heard, which proves that the space under the copper skin is extremely narrow or even no space, and although this bronze statue is very heavy, it cannot be solid, at most the copper skin is a little thicker."

Wu Chen explained softly, in fact, this is also the excuse he came up with temporarily, when he found this bronze statue, he was mainly attracted by its strange appearance, how could such an ugly object appear in an antique shop, something is abnormal.

Then he used his ability to look in, only to find out that there was something strange inside, otherwise he would really have to hear such a subtle difference on this small bronze piece, and the ghost would believe it!

Xu Shaodong was so surrounded by him that he almost fainted, and he didn't go into detail, looking at Li Lao's expression, he already believed eight points in his heart. The others were also surprised, seeing that Li Lao was busy working there, the doubts on their faces became thicker and thicker.

In fact, as long as you know the conclusion in advance, you can often find a hundred arguments to draw a conclusion, which is also for what judicial field needs to set the presumption of innocence and attribute the benefit to the defendant.

Li Lao put down the hammer, looked back at everyone, his eyes were a little lonely, and he said after a while: "The future is terrifying!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Wu Chen completely put his mind at ease, knowing that Li Lao had already discovered something, and now it was equivalent to kicking the ball to Li Lao, and he would sit and wait for the appraisal results. Otherwise, it would be a headache for him to weave all kinds of reasons.

Liu Lao and the others haven't seen Li Lao so dignified for a long time, and when he returned to his seat, he muttered around for a long time, Li Lao couldn't tell why he came inside, so he could only guess that this outer layer looked like copper skin, and it was recommended to remove it first to see what was inside.

This layer of copper should be molded as a whole, if you have to remove it, you can only use destructive means, so everyone consulted Wu Chen's opinion. Where did Wu Chen disagree.

There is a workshop underground, and you can usually do some identification and small processing, and Li Lao also knows the way, so he called Tian Zhongze to go down with him. Wu Chen and Kong Si naturally carried the bronze statue again, followed behind them, and went out to take the elevator to the basement.

A few people checked it again, and if they used the method of melting and casting, they were not enough time, and they were afraid that the high temperature would damage the objects inside, so they decided to cut it directly. Wu Chen knew the depth of the copper skin, so he personally operated the knife, and first sawed a small crack in the head with a chainsaw, and saw that there was a layer of dark copper-colored copper skin inside, which was not connected to the outer layer, and was separated by more than a centimeter.

After knowing the general depth, Kong Si also took a chainsaw, squatted on the other side, and slowly sawed it up with Wu Chen, sawing the outer layer of copper into pieces of copper piece by piece, and then directly pried it off, which was all manual work, a lot of work, and it really took a lot of time.

About halfway through, Xu Shaodong and Bai He also ran down, and when they saw Li Lao squatting on the side, they seemed to be a little excited and looking forward to it!

What does this have to be to make this old man look like this? Xu Shaodong was surprised in his heart, and he also squatted down and gave Wu Chen their help.

When the shell of the entire bronze man was removed, revealing the entire outline inside, it turned out to be a bronze man!

Kong Si and Wu Chen stood up and gasped for breath for a while, and together they straightened the bronze man, and wiped it with a rag, and after a while, it was already bright with copper light.

I saw that the bronze man was about the same height as the young man, the caster was extremely exquisite, the face was handsome, the physique was toned, the head even had hair and a crown, the upper body was bare, and the lower body had shorts and a belt! There are some signs densely packed on the body, and it looks like they are covered with acupuncture point diagrams.

"Copper! Bronze Man! Li Lao stepped forward, stretched out his hand and stroked the sturdy body of the bronze man, and his excited appearance made Wu Chen and the others feel excited, even if it is the eighteen bronze people of Shaolin Temple, there is no need to be so excited!

But I saw that Li Lao was groping on the side of the bronze man, and with a soft sound of "ga", a crack appeared in the side part of the bronze man.

Wu Chen was beside him, hurriedly went over to help him, and Li Lao slowly removed the shell of the bronze man. It turns out that this bronze figure is actually composed of two parts before and after, using a special plug to disassemble and combine, disassemble it, and the internal organs and bones of the wood carving can be seen in the body cavity, which is well preserved as new!
