Chapter 250: Inspection
Hu Yuan's words surprised everyone, and they couldn't help but look at Zhao Yiping, could it be that Zhao Yiping really teamed up with the Mr. Cao in front of him to defraud the museum's money?
Just now, Zhao Yiping was still thinking about how to explain the Guanyin statue to the curator, but he didn't expect Hu Yuan to suddenly attack, and when he reacted, Mr. Cao had already said what he had just said. This made him secretly angry and scolded the fool at the same time, and his heart was even more flustered, and he hurriedly said, how can this be good!
When Hu Yuan scolded and everyone else looked at him in surprise, Zhao Yiping was panicked, his hands and feet suddenly became weak, and he almost sat on the ground.
"No, no! I didn't even authenticate him yesterday! This police officer, he was drunk yesterday, and what he is saying now is all his own imagination! You can't take it seriously! ”
Mr. Cao also reacted when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes!" I was drunk yesterday, I didn't remember some things clearly, I was talking nonsense just now. Yes! I remember, I asked Zhao Yiping for identification the night before yesterday, and I made a mistake when I was drunk! ”
Looking at Zhao Yiping and Mr. Cao "singing and harmonizing", Hu Yuan almost laughed, this is not just a pig-like teammate, this Zhao Yiping himself is a pig, I said it just now, there is a camera in the hotel, can't you tell if you are drunk or not?
So he smiled and said, "That's not right, right? Then when I saw you going out yesterday, you were talking about joy? Don't forget, as I said earlier, there are cameras in the hotel. ”
Heard Hu Yuan say this. Zhao Yiping and Mr. Cao couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and they didn't know what to do for a while. And to this point. You don't know that there must be something wrong with these two people.
At this time. Director Wang, who accompanied Chu Chen and the others, quickly controlled Zhao Yiping, and with the help of Hu Yuan and others, temporarily escorted him and Mr. Cao to the security room of the museum, and when the support arrived, they were transferred to the police station. ……
Seeing that Zhao Yiping was escorted away by Director Wang, while shouting that he was wronged, there was silence in the collection department.
Especially museum staff like Professor Qin. There was a look of shock on their faces. They didn't expect this to happen to them, especially Zhao Yiping, a veteran employee who has been working in the museum for seven years, which really made them feel unbelievable.
Chu Chen coughed lightly and asked Professor Qin, "Professor Qin, I don't know how long this Zhao Yiping has been working here?" ”
Professor Qin said gloomily: "He has been working here for seven years, and he is also an old man in our museum, I didn't expect to do such a thing!" Speaking of zuihou, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Since he's been here for so long. Shouldn't he check the things he has handled before? ”
Hearing Chu Chen say this, Professor Qin and the others immediately reacted, so they hurriedly instructed the staff to inform the curator of the matter. And the list of cultural relics handled by Zhao Yiping was sorted out.
When such a big event happens, how can the curator still sit still. It didn't take long for an old man in his sixties to rush to the collection department.
As soon as the old man came in. asked Sun Jing directly: "Teacher Sun, what's going on with that Zhao Yiping?" ”
Teacher Sun put the specific situation. After talking to the old man, he said with a wry smile: "Who would know that Zhao Yiping is this kind of person, fortunately, the curator, you made a rule two days ago, and Mr. Chu and his companions helped, otherwise he would definitely succeed again this time." ”
The old man listened to the cause and effect, and said angrily: "This Zhao Yiping, it's really not a thing, it's a shame that he is still an old man in the museum, and I usually don't treat him badly, he obviously knows that the funds of our museum are not rich enough, and he actually did such a unconscionable thing, it's really better than a pig and a dog!" ”
While the old man was angry, he kept blaming himself for not managing properly, so that Zhao Yiping took advantage of this loophole, and he would definitely have to bear the responsibility for this matter. He only hopes now that this is Zhao Yiping's first crime, otherwise he will suffer heavy losses, and he can only take the blame and resign.
When the old man came back to his senses, he noticed Chu Chen and the others, and said a little apologetically: "I'm really sorry, let you see the joke, I don't know which one is Mr. Chu?" ”
"Curator, this is Chu Chen, an expert from the capital." Professor Qin hurriedly stepped forward to introduce the two sides.
When the old man saw that Chu Chen was so young and was still a disciple of Liu Lao, he was surprised in his heart, and at the same time, he quickly shook Chu Chen's hand warmly and said, "Mr. Chu, this time it is really thanks to you, otherwise our museum would have suffered a heavy loss." ”
The old man said this, it also makes sense, after all, it is Zhang Shoushan's work, famous, and it is a rare green glaze work, even if the price given by the museum is less than the auction, it will be at least hundreds of thousands.
If Zhao Yiping really succeeds, this is not a big loss for a museum that does not have sufficient funds.
Chu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Director Gao, you don't have to be polite, I just did what I could, and you also made new regulations before, even if I don't come, Zhao Yiping will definitely not succeed." ”
"Mr. Chu, you are too modest, without you, even if we knew that this thing was a fake, we would not have doubted that Zhao Yiping would do such a thing."
Speaking of this, Director Gao sighed: "Hey, the key is that our management is not in place, otherwise how would he get into such a loophole." ”
Chu Chen smiled slightly, and didn't say much about it, after all, this is someone else's business, and it is not good for him to express any opinions in front of his master.
After a while, the staff sorted out the list of cultural relics handled by Zhao Yiping and handed it over to Director Gao.
After Curator Gao looked at it carefully, he looked at the time again and said, "It's almost noon, so let's check these things at this time." Mr. Chu, I wonder if you can please do us a favor and help us check it later? ”
Of course, Chu Chen would not object to this request that could increase his experience, and happily agreed.
In the past seven years, Zhao Yiping has handled a lot of cultural relics, but after re-inspection, there is no problem with the cultural relics bought by him before this year.
This made Director Gao and the others very happy, and they all guessed that maybe today was really Zhao Yiping's first crime.
However, Chu Chen didn't think so, he learned from Professor Qin's mouth that Zhao Yiping's level of porcelain appraisal was still good, since this was the case, then he would come up with such an imitation of something that was not of a high level?
Chu Chen estimated that this should be Zhao Yiping's success in committing crimes a few times before, and he was lax, so when he saw that this Guanyin statue was not bad, he would only take a hasty look at it and finish it.
And Chu Chen thought of Zhao Yiping's strange look when he heard that the acquisition required two people to sign, and he didn't believe that he would commit a crime for the first time.
Sure enough, after a while, a Su Sancai secretly engraved dragon pattern flower and butterfly bowl marked as the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty entered Chu Chen's sight.
This bowl is thinner, the moist high-temperature white glaze is applied inside, the outer wall is carved out of the pearl dragon pattern on the porcelain tire first, and then the butterfly pattern is painted with three colors, zuihou applies low-temperature white glaze on the color, and is fired in the low-temperature kiln, which is a high-grade classic variety of Kangxi official kiln.
It stands to reason that this bowl looks good, the painting is very exquisite, and the picture looks more natural and expressive, and most people will think that this thing is genuine. However, it was such a bowl that looked quite real, but Chu Chen's Baojue did not react, and the result was self-evident.
So Chu Chen picked up the bowl, looked at it carefully, and immediately saw two problems.
Chu Chen put the bowl back on, then called Curator Gao and the others over, and said, "Curator Gao, look at this bowl." ”
Director Gao's heart tightened when he heard this, but when he saw that it was this bowl, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said: "Mr. Chu, I also know that this bowl was also controversial after Zhao Yiping accepted it, and later we also conducted a scientific appraisal to prove that it is indeed a genuine product." ”
After listening to what Director Gao said, Chu Chen said with a smile: "Director Gao, sometimes scientific identification is not omnipotent, I think that this bowl should be the old bottom of the tire, and the glaze used is also extracted from the previous waste porcelain, in this case, the authenticity cannot be identified by scientific identification at all." ”
There are two commonly used methods for scientifically identifying antiques, namely "thermoluminescence dating jishu" and "elemental analysis".
In these two methods, the error of thermoluminescence dating Jishu is generally no more than 50 years. However, in addition to the need to drill and sample, it has one of the biggest shortcomings, thermoluminescence has a poor ability to deal with reverse detection, if the detected ceramics are exposed to sunlight for a long time or X-ray, it will greatly affect the detection results.
There was a joke about this before, the customs of a certain country seized several pieces of smuggled cultural relics, which seemed to be Tang Sancai of our country, so thermoluminescence testing was carried out, and the results showed that the ages of the three pieces were 500 years, 1000 years, and 3000 years respectively.
So the customs officer reported to the superiors that the three were cultural relics, one was Qing Sancai, one was Song Sancai, and one was Shang Sancai! In fact, all three of them were burned by peasants in China in the 90s on the soil method on the self-retained mountain, and then irradiated with X-rays, because the irradiation time was not well mastered.
Another element analysis method believes that modern antique porcelain is to imitate a certain ancient porcelain characteristics, and add some modern chemical preparations containing certain trace elements to the tire glaze formula, and these trace elements do not exist or have very little content in the genuine ancient porcelain.
