"Wait!"

Just as Chu Chen was about to pick up the small tank to observe, Zhao Heyan suddenly stopped loudly and said, "Brother, you have to be careful, what if this small tank is coated with some highly toxic substances?" ”

"Why are you talking so loudly!"

Gao Yiya glared at her, and then said: "Besides, how can you say so exaggerated, you think this is a novel, poisonous and poisonous all day long!" ”

"Anyway, there are no other people sitting here, so it doesn't matter if you are louder."

Zhao Heyan smiled and said, "Moreover, don't you think this thing is weird?" Who knows if the perpetrator is a good guy or a bad guy, so I don't think it's too careful! ”

Zhao Qirui nodded and said, "That's right, we should really be careful." But, Xiaoyan, you are really not careful to observe, that young man just now obviously touched this thing with his hand, if it was really poisonous, he would have had a seizure, right? ”

"What if he had taken the antidote beforehand?" Zhao Heyan has a heartfelt speech.

"It's a waste not to write a novel with your brain." Chu Chen laughed and said.

"Let's be careful." Wu Ke persuaded beside her, today's events are indeed quite weird, and when Zhao Heyan said this, she couldn't help but worry in her heart.

"Okay, then I'll put on my gloves."

Chu Chen felt that it was unlikely to be dangerous, the reason was very simple, things like antiques and crafts would definitely have to be checked during the security check, and if there was a problem, it was unlikely that this thing would reach his hands.

Of course, if there is a conspiracy, anything can happen. Therefore. For the sake of myself, and for the sake of reassuring everyone. He still smiled and took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket, and only after putting them on did he pick up the blue and white jar in the box and observe it carefully.

The shape of this vessel resembles that of a large vat. Lips, bulging abdomen, shins, flat bottom concave. Because of its petite size, it is actually a literary thing to play in the palm of the desk, and because the shape of the instrument is like a cylinder, it is mostly used to place brushes or other study utensils on the study furnishings and bookcases, so it is called a case cylinder, which is mainly seen before and after Kangxi.

The outer half of the foot end and the center of the foot are glazed with white glaze. There is a circle of astringent tires on the inner half of the foot end, forming a jade wall-shaped bottom foot. The device type is circumferential.

In the picture, two fish swim leisurely in the river, and an osprey is looking at them with soft eyes, constituting a harmonious picture of peace and sound.

The carcass of the whole device is firm and waxy, the glaze is smooth throughout the body, and the painting is smooth. The drawing is fine, and from these points of view, it can be comparable to the fine products in the blue and white stationery of the Kangxi period.

It's a pity, though. This case jar is not a work of the Kangxi period, but an imitation that has only recently been made, which is this. You can see it just from the clear fire on the surface of the tank.

In addition, Chu Chen is very familiar with the process of making zuò. Its author is about to come out, and it must be Cai Jianxuan.

I told you the results. Zhao Qirui frowned, and said with a stern face: "What does he mean by this, provocative?" ”

"There should be that in mind." Chu Chen said: "However, I think there must be a deep meaning in it, otherwise he wouldn't have sent such a thing over." ”

Everyone thought about it and felt that what Chu Chen said made sense, if the other party was for the purpose of provocation, it would undoubtedly be more convenient before they left, and it would not be as simple as sending a blue and white case jar.

"I think there's a chance he's showing what he's capable of."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Wu Ke explained: "You think, since he can accurately know our itinerary and even know the flight clearly, isn't it proving that he has strong strength?" ”

Everyone thinks it makes sense, and when you think about it, it's incredible that the other party can follow them all the time without their knowledge.

You must know that whether it is Zuo Shan or Ah Chao, or the female bodyguards they hired, they are the elite of the elite. The other party was able to follow these people under their noses, how high is that skill?!

Thinking of this, Zuo Shan and the others frowned and recalled, but based on their experience, they were sure that no one was following them, could it be that the person who was following them had already become obsessed with this? But in any case, the people they protect are being followed, and their faces are gloomy.

"I don't think it's very likely to be followed......"

Chu Chen didn't think so, if it was a person, it might be negligence, but if everyone didn't find out, the probability was too small. Besides, even he didn't realize it, could there be someone more powerful than him in this world? If there really is such a person, it is not something that Cai Jianxuan can command, right?

To be honest, everyone didn't believe that there were such masters among Cai Jianxuan's group, but how were their whereabouts accurately grasped by the other party?

Chu Chen then said his thoughts: "And tracking is easy to find, if I were him, I would definitely not do it." Therefore, I think it is more convenient to start with the ticket, knowing that there is still a profession of zài hacker in this world. ”

It's 2002, and the popularity and security of the Internet are not the same as they are today, a decade later, and it is much easier for skilled hackers to steal information than in later generations, and it is also more reliable than tracking this statement.

Zhao Qirui clapped his hands: "That's right!" I booked the ticket the day before yesterday and they had exactly the time to arrange it. ”

Gao Yiya said: "Is this the case, just ask when the young man just drew the prize, isn't it!" ”

"I'll go." Zuo Shan hurriedly stood up, and then asked, "Do you want to bring him over?" ”

Chu Chen shook his head: "You just ask about the lottery, and let others deal with the rest of the matter when you return to Beijing." ”

He didn't plan to let the young man go like this, because no one knew if the young man was panicking, although from the eyes of ordinary people, this possibility was unlikely, but what if the other party's idea was unreasonable? Therefore, when he returned, he would have people secretly investigate young people. In case you miss an important clue.

After Zuo Shan left, Chu Yulan looked at the case jar. Curiously asked, "What does it mean that he sent a case tank over?" It doesn't necessarily mean nothing, does it? ”

Everyone thinks that it is certainly impossible to have no meaning at all, but what exactly does it mean. Then only guess.

Zhao Heyan said: "Since this thing is called a case tank, is there any allusion?" ”

Chu Chen shook his head: "This type of vessel is just a kind of stationery created before and after Kangxi, and the reason why it is called a case jar is only because it is placed on the desk, coupled with its shape, so it is called a case jar." ”

"In this case, you can only guess the meaning of the painting."

Zhao Heyan was a little disappointed and carefully observed the blue and white pattern on the surface of the case tank, and said: "This pattern is a bit funny, the osprey actually looked at the two fish 'kindly', could it be that the osprey will be friends with the fish!" Hey...... Cai Jianxuan doesn't think we can be friends with him, right? ”

"How is that possible!" Chu Chen smiled and shook his head: "As long as he doesn't give up making fakes to deceive people." Then he and I must be incompatible, in this case, how can he and I become friends? ”

Zhao Heyan muttered while thinking about it when she heard this: "Then what does this pattern want to express?" ”

At this time, Chu Yulan expressed her opinion: "I think what he wants to say is that everything is peaceful, right?" ”

Everyone was slightly stunned, and then reacted, and now this harmonious picture does have the meaning of peace and quietness.

Zhao Qirui sneered: "Hey! Don't you just want to say that you take your sunshine path and I cross my single-plank bridge? I don't want him to do it, see what he can do! ”

As soon as the words fell. Zuoshan walked back.

Seeing this, Chu Chen asked, "What did he say?" ”

Zuo Shan replied: "He did get this opportunity by lottery the afternoon before yesterday, and the time to get the ticket was this morning, and according to him." There were two other winners together, but they didn't come together, and he didn't know what was going on. ”

Zhao Qirui listened to these words. smiled: "I booked the ticket that morning, and it seems to be as Achen said." It's likely that a hacker stole my booking information. ”

"It's possible to have an inner ghost." Chu Chen added.

Everyone agreed, anyway, as long as the other party didn't follow them unknowingly. Otherwise, it's really uncomfortable.

Zhao Qirui said with some annoyance: "After I go back to this matter, I will ask someone to check, what is going on, it is so easy for someone to find out my booking information, I think some of them don't want to do it!" ”

Zhao Heyan nodded in agreement, and then said with some curiosity: "By the way, since there are three people who won the lottery, why didn't they board the plane together?" ”

Chu Yulan guessed: "I think it may be that he doesn't know if we will board this plane, and those two may be spare candidates." ”

Everyone felt that Chu Yulan's guess was very reasonable, and Zuo Shan's words also confirmed her guess, he said: "That young man also said that the other party had an explanation before he came, if we were not on this plane, this case tank would be dealt with by him." ”

Speaking of this, Zuo Shan suddenly remembered something: "By the way, he also said that the other party told him, if he met us, he would tell us, and I hope that they will not have the opportunity to give gifts in the future." ”

The smell of this sentence warning is relatively strong, and Zhao Qirui sneered when he heard this: "What do you mean?" Does he hope that we can arrest him, or do you really hope that he can be safe like the one painted on this case?! ”

"Needless to say, maybe he really thinks so."

Chu Chen's mind flashed with inspiration, and he said: "I think this case tank may also have the meaning of 'shooting the case'. ”

Zhao Qirui sneered and said: "It's best to be safe, otherwise don't blame him for taking the case?" Hehe, that's wishful thinking. ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Their methods are quite clever, first of all, let us think that the itinerary has been under their surveillance, and then give a gift with 'connotation', and let people bring a warning, if they are more timid, maybe they will really be bluffed." ”

Zhao Heyan asked, "Then what if we can't guess what this case jar is trying to express?" ”

Zhao Qirui said: "If you can't guess, you can't guess, anyway, for him, as long as he brings the meaning to make us suspicious, he will achieve his goal." In fact, Xiaoxiao like this doesn't have to be afraid of them at all, he only dares to engage in such small tricks. If we really have the ability, we will be in the Hao realm. He can do so much more. ”

Gao Yiya reminded: "Don't be careless, what if he jumps off the wall in a hurry?" ”

"What are you afraid of. If you have the ability, he'll come! Zhao Qirui seemed to be full of care, but he was still very concerned about this matter in his heart, thinking that after he went back, he must strengthen the work of security. Of course, as the old saying goes, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, the key is to do everything possible to uproot Cai Jianxuan's gang.

Gao Yiya was a little dissatisfied when she heard this: "What are you talking about, you are still an uncle!" ”

Zhao Qirui laughed: "You don't understand." This is called despising the enemy strategically and valuing the enemy tactically. If these disgraceful rats really had to run stupidly to retaliate, we wouldn't have to spend so much energy! ”

Chu Chen smiled, it would be nice if the other party was really like what his uncle said, but obviously this is impossible, this can be seen from today's events, even the meaning of the expression is so vague, as if he is afraid of arousing the anger of himself and others, how can such a person be impulsive when he does things?

Then again. Cai Jianxuan was originally an old and cunning person, otherwise he would be serving his sentence in prison now, how could he still make waves outside.

There was nothing to do all the way, Chu Chen and Zhao Qirui's family said goodbye at the airport. Then I took the car back to the villa.

When he got home, Chu Chen said hello to his parents, and came to Liu's house with some gifts and the case jar. I'm going to report the matter to Liu Lao.

"Humph! It's really a bunch of young people who will do something shady and shady! Listened to what Chu Chen said. Old Liu's face also flashed with anger.

Chu Chen hurriedly persuaded: "Master, there is no need to be angry with this kind of person. They don't dare to do anything extreme anyway. ”

Liu Lao shook his head: "Then you are wrong, have you forgotten that Su Changtou?" ”

"Uh......" Chu Chen was stunned, he really forgot about Su Changtou just now, and then thought about it, since they dared to kill Su Changtou, then the dog jumped under the wall in a hurry, and no matter how crazy it was, it was possible to do it.

Liu Lao smiled slightly: "Okay, don't worry too much, after all, this is the capital, unless they want to go against the whole country, otherwise they shouldn't come nonsense." However, if you go out of town, you need to be a little more careful. ”

"Hmm." Chu Chen nodded in understanding, however, he was very confident in his skills and sixth sense, so he was not too worried about his own safety.

But it's different on the family's side, especially when he was shot at the beginning, so after he went back, he was ready to increase security measures for Wu Ke and them, so as not to regret it when an extreme situation really happened.

"Speaking of which, Cai Jianxuan's craftsmanship is getting better and better." Liu Lao picked up the case jar and sighed while admiring it.

Chu Chen also nodded yes, because in addition to the lack of style, this case jar also has some characteristics that have not been baked for a long time, and there are few subtleties that are different from the real thing, which is no different from the blue and white ware of the Kangxi period.

If you add a piece of knowledge to this case, and then deal with the fire, and sell it on the market, not to mention ordinary buyers, even experienced experts have to be eye-catching. Before this, Cai Jianxuan's level of counterfeiting was not so superb.

It's only been a long time, Cai Jianxuan has actually made such great progress, if it continues like this, Chu Chen is worried that in the near future, even he can only use his ability to identify the authenticity of things. If that day comes, the antique ceramics market will definitely collapse because of it.

Some people may say that since it has been made exactly like the real thing, then it is better to simply treat it as genuine. There will really be no problems in this short period of time, but the antiques will not come out of thin air, and there are a number of high-end antiques.

Thinking of the consequences of Yan zhòng in the future, Chu Chen couldn't help but get anxious, but even if he was in a hurry, he could only be in a hurry, this feeling was too uncomfortable, he hurriedly asked, "Master, can I help in any way?" ”

Seeing this, Liu Lao laughed and said, "My old arms and legs can still move, you just take care of yourself." ”

"But ......"

As soon as Chu Chen opened his mouth, Liu Lao directly interrupted: "Don't be, you are not a policeman, how much can you help?" Don't forget, you have more important things to do! ”

"What's more important?"

"Silly boy, have you forgotten that you are about to get married?"

"Hey, hey!" Chu Chen scratched his head and smirked when he heard this.

Then. Liu Lao pointed to a few boxes next to him and said, "You come and see these things." ”

Chu Chen took the box closest to him to his side. When I opened it, I saw that it was a blue and white Coats lid jar.

The jar is in your hands. The first thing he observed was the bottom foot part, and he saw that there was a two-line six-character paragraph in the regular script "Ming Chenghua Year" written in the blue and white columns, and the font looked a little crooked. If you look closely, you will see that every time you turn the pen, it will be a little slower, and when you stop the pen, there will be a concentration of diamonds. This time it looks like the real thing.

After reading the style, Chu Chen then began to observe the whole. This jar has a straight mouth, a short neck, full shoulders, a round belly and an adduction, a flat bottom, and a round foot. The lotus leaf-shaped lid has vein patterns, the upper support is the lion button, and the slender pointed banana leaf pattern under the shoulders forms a sharp contrast with the wide and fat lotus petals on the feet.

This jar belly is painted with 9 Coats. In the courtyard leisurely playing chess, watching the scenery, walking, chatting, the characters are elegant and elegant, which is the true portrayal of the scholar class at that time, "Kaolin Caizhi records the four elders, and Ziyang collects the art to visit Sanmao".

Due to the Chenghua official kiln made many small utensils, there has always been a saying that "Chenghua has no big utensils", and this jar is not only huge, but also extremely difficult to preserve the lid and button are all intact, if it is a real vessel, it is indeed a rare thing in the heirloom.

What needs to be said. The blue and white jars made in the Chenghua year of the Ming Dynasty were imitated in the Yongzheng official kiln of the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China and modern times, and in recent years, there were many imitations, and the color and pattern of the blue and white were also imitated very successfully. But in the drawing of the figures, it is not up to the authenticity.

The figures depicted in modern imitations appear stiff and sluggish, losing their ethereal verve.

But apparently. The figure in front of me is very vivid, no different from the real thing. In addition, there are no problems with the tire, glaze, and green material, and Chu Chen can't immediately judge whether it is real or fake.

The reason why Chu Chen felt that there was something wrong with this blue and white jar. It's not that Liu Lao will definitely use fakes to teach him now, but because he feels that this blue and white jar seems to be a little different from his collection in terms of green materials, but the difference is not obvious, so he seems a little hesitant.

"By the way, there's toning."

Since the difference in the green material is subtle, Chu Chen started with the slurry, the slurry on the surface of this blue and white jar seems to be quite natural, but after a closer experience, he felt that there was something wrong with the feel, which made him immediately think of the slurry, so he took the method of identifying the slurry for identification.

Although the result confirmed Chu Chen's guess, it also made him feel very surprised: "Master, this is an upgraded version of slurry?" ”

Liu Lao nodded: "Yes, what do you think?" ”

Chu Chen said with a stern expression: "Except for the difference between the feel and the refraction of the light and the real slurry, the other aspects are completely enough to be fake, and the feel and the refraction of the light are much better than before. ”

"Moreover, judging from the craftsmanship and other aspects of this artifact, it is likely to be from Cai Jianxuan's hand, right?"

Liu Lao pointed to a box next to him and said, "It is indeed made by Cai Jianxuan, you can compare it with this box to see how much progress he has made." ”

Inside the box is also a blue and white Coats pattern lotus leaf lid jar from the Chenghua period, but the lid has been repaired, judging from all kinds of details, this should be genuine, but for the sake of caution, Chu Chen also used an ability, and the results also confirmed his judgment.

Then, Chu Chen put the two blue and white jars together for comparison, and found that the fake did have some slight differences from the real thing in terms of the hair color of the blue and white products. In addition, what surprised Chu Chen even more was that this fake was actually the same as the real thing.

After a while, Liu Lao asked, "How is it?" ”

Chu Chen said with some amazement: "I can only say that he is too powerful!" ”

Liu Lao sighed when he heard this, then slapped the table and said angrily: "Why did such a person take the evil path!" ”

"Master, don't be angry."

Chu Chen hurriedly persuaded a few words, and then said: "People's greed is endless, otherwise there would not be a saying that people's hearts are insufficient to swallow elephants." The most important thing we should do now is to put him in a cage so that he will not come out and harm others. ”

"It's forgivable if it's a sin, but you can't live if you do it yourself." Liu Lao sighed with emotion and said, "You can open the other boxes and take a look." ”

Chu Chen opened the other two boxes according to his words, and there were also blue and white porcelain inside, one for the Kangxi official kiln and the other for the Qianlong official kiln, and the table was the same as the blue and white jar just now, which was enough to confuse the real with the fake.

After looking at the two utensils, Chu Chen frowned and said: "What I am most worried about now is actually the improved version of the slurry, after all, it is not easy to make high melamine zuò, but it is easy to prepare the slurry." ”

Liu Lao smiled and waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about this, this kind of slurry has actually just been developed, and it shouldn't have been known by Cai Jianxuan and them." ”

"What's going on?" Chu Chen was very surprised when he heard this, the slurry was researched abroad, and since they had improved it, it would definitely be passed on to Cai Jianxuan and them sooner or later, unless someone else prepared the current slurry.

Liu Lao explained: "Yes, it is indeed as you think, these slurries are actually inadvertently prepared by a member of their gang......

It turned out that during this period of investigation, those case-handling personnel also had many clues, so in a raid, a den was raided.

These three pieces of blue and white porcelain were confiscated in that den, and as for these slurries, the person in charge of this den researched and prepared them himself. Originally, he saw that the effect was very good, and he was already about to send the formula out, but he didn't expect to be caught.

Liu Lao said with some trepidation: "Fortunately, this action is more timely, otherwise the future of our industry is worrying!" (To be continued......)
