Seventy-one. Magical
When the contents were presented in front of our eyes, all of us were stunned: it was a painting, and it was actually the very famous "Sunflower" that Ling Feng's husband had painted! Judging by the mottled frame and the somewhat faded oil paint, it must be a very old thing. There seems to be some oil stained on it, but the owner of the painting doesn't seem to care too much about it. After Leng Ao extracted the fingerprints on it again, we placed the painting on the table accordingly to make sure we were not dazzled at all. After confirming that it was the painting, I felt completely messy in the wind, why did this painting appear in front of me?
"You're going to get rich!" Lin Zi was so excited that her hands danced, and even her voice trembled a little, and her eyes lit up and said, "Oh my God, who is this such a big tyrant?" Actually gave you such an expensive gift? It's so enviable and exciting. The painting ...... Do you know how much the painting is worth? If this is the original work, it is estimated that according to the price previously auctioned, it will be more than 1 million. Is this even more exciting than buying a lottery ticket and winning? It's not going to be for nothing, is it? Even if it's just for you to pass by, why do you have to charge a little hard money, right? ”
"You've lost your money? I'm afraid it's just someone else's commission, right? You don't really believe in pie-in-the-sky good things, do you? I slapped Lin Zi's head a little helplessly to calm her down.
With the help of her and Leng Ao, we carefully took the painting out of the box. Sure enough, there was also a letter written in a hurry with the painting. The letter said that the painting would be handed over to me for safekeeping. And at the same time, the sender asked me to find out the big secret hidden in this picture no matter what. At the same time, a location was also given, and I was asked to meet at that place in the evening. Lin Zi glanced at the location, and exclaimed again: "I know there, it's a famous restaurant, and the cost is not low?" Looks like you're really going to hit the jack of luck! ”
"The secret in the painting? What other secrets could there be here? "I put on my gloves and examined the painting carefully. Sure enough, it was found that both the frame and the painting itself had been scratched open, and it was obvious that someone had done serious research on it, "Is someone joking?" It is said to be in the Pan homeland. Just a casual stall. But they all used clever means to make the paintings old. How can you be sure that this is the original? ”
"Don't you have some research on antiques? Could that little trick fool you? Leng Ao, who had been watching from the sidelines, asked slowly, his eyes as if he was looking at aliens.
"I do know a little bit about antiques. But I have never studied this old gentleman's masterpiece, except that I have heard that he has such a work. I frowned. Look at the address again. And the handwriting on that letter. I can be sure that I never saw it. I was also thinking in my heart, did someone get the wrong address, so they sent it here? But there's no wrong name on the box. It was indeed sent to me.
"That's a bit of a tricky problem." Leng Ao's voice was as calm as usual, and even sounded a little more impatient to me, he frowned and said, "Even if you don't understand it by yourself, you can ask those experts around you, right?" But what I'm more curious about is, haven't you really heard of that kind of legend? ”
When they were talking about this, I was still confused, until Leng Ao pulled us to the front of the computer and typed in a few keywords, and a few old news that had been a smash hit quickly appeared in front of our eyes: after Ling Feng's husband returned to China after completing his studies, he created many famous works, and received some praise. Just when he was in the limelight, there were a series of changes in the family, which originally seemed like cooking oil on fire, but soon took a sharp turn for the worse, and life was not as good as day by day. It was under these circumstances that he created this work, called "Sunflowers", and offered a high price that seemed unbelievable at the time to be sold.
"Everyone thought he was crazy because the painting was more than five times more expensive than his other works. What is even more strange is that although most people in China have not heard of Van Gogh, those who have studied abroad and studied painting cannot have heard of the famous work "Sunflowers". Soon someone stood up and ridiculed the author for not being creative, and the so-called talent was just a fame and reputation. So this painting quickly became a laughing stock, and some people even ridiculed him for not even having a face in order to make money. Leng Ao explained word by word.
These words reminded me inexplicably of the small album that Mo Qiqi once showed me, which was said to be a painting left to her by Ling Feng's husband, in order to leave her a memory, and I remember seeing this shrunken painting in it.
According to the website, the ridicule lasted only a month, because he kept the painting and hung it in the Chen family's living room. A reporter with good deeds once visited their home and took a picture of the painter sitting in the living room, with the work most prominent in the background. What's even more surprising is that just two months after the painting was hung, the Chen Group's business suddenly turned a profit, and even made a large profit.
Such a rumor...... You don't believe it, do you? "I looked at those things with some helplessness. This is a common problem for most of humanity, and people are always unconsciously creating rumors.
Leng Ao said lightly: "You can understand it this way. But after that picture came out, it was like a miracle happened, and everything changed. Some people even say that there is a huge wealth hidden in that painting, and it is the wealth that outsiders do not know that brings hope to the Chen family. ”
"Ridiculous!" I exhaled, the more I talked about it, the more outrageous it became, it stands to reason that Leng Ao, who is a forensic doctor, should not say such a thing, "You won't also go from an atheist to a ......"
Leng Ao nodded and said, "I know what you want to say, but there are some things that are often beyond our understanding." I mean, in this case. Coincidentally, the painting was stolen by thieves a few years later, that is, the big turmoil that happened in the Chen family, and one blow after another brought the Chen Group to the threshold of imminent bankruptcy. It was at that time that Ling Feng mastered the ...... of the Chen Group" (to be continued. )
