Don't underestimate the surprise of this title, shouting without a surname and with a surname are completely two feelings, and it makes people feel comfortable listening to it.

At least that's what Lin Ruoming thinks.

So after seeing Chu Mufeng coming, he got up from his chair with a smile: "Mufeng, on behalf of our Police Department, I now announce your appointment, from now on, you will be the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Team 1 of the First Section of the Criminal Investigation Department of our Beiping Police Department." ”

"Yes!"

Chu Mufeng hurriedly put his feet together, saluted and replied loudly.

Then, he said gratefully: "Section Chief, thank you for your support." ”

"Hey, it's all your good job, if I hadn't solved the demon cat case so quickly, I wouldn't have had a chance to promote you even if I wanted to. Work hard in the future and win more glory for our first department! Lin Ruoming patted Chu Mufeng's shoulder and encouraged him cordially.

"Yes, I will definitely listen carefully to the section chief's teachings." Chu Mufeng replied confidently.

"Okay, that's it, you go get busy!"

Lin Ruoming was very satisfied with Chu Mufeng's reply, and the young man's posture was very upright.

When Chu Mufeng returned to the department, his appointment had already been officially announced.

This can be regarded as a small fluctuation, and everyone's envy and jealousy are necessary, but not unexpected.

After all, Chu Mufeng's relationship with the director is there, coupled with the political achievements of the demon cat case, who will be promoted if he is not promoted?

"Everyone, at noon today, I have a treat!"

Listening to the flattery and praise of everyone in the room, Chu Mufeng said with a smile.

The joy of promotion is naturally to celebrate and celebrate.

I just took this opportunity to have a relationship with these old colleagues, if I really want to think that I have been promoted to a vice captain, I will immediately fight with them, but I will fall behind!

There is Zhang Youchi, Enwei and Shi, this point of proportion, Chu Mufeng still has it.

So this wine must be drunk at noon.

After a compliment, everyone went about their jobs.

There were also people on Chu Mufeng's side who came to look for it, and it was still that Huang Shilang.

Unlike yesterday, he looked at Chu Mufeng with a little more respect in his eyes today.

No matter what, Chu Mufeng is now the vice captain, one level higher than his old fritter.

"Captain Chu, congratulations, congratulations."

With both hands arched, Huang Shilang walked up with a flattering smile on his face.

"Hey, Brother Huang, you're welcome, come on, please take a seat." Chu Mufeng pulled a chair and greeted.

After all, Huang Shilang is a person from the General Affairs Section, and he is in charge of logistics, although the level has always been like this, but the position is very sensitive.

Besides, it is said that he also has a bit of a background, otherwise no matter how flamboyant he is, it is impossible to mix up in the entire police department.

So Chu Mufeng didn't take it big, of course, the other party was also very interested.

"Captain Chu, you really have two hits, and in a blink of an eye, you have become a celebrity in our police department, and now when it comes to the demon cat case, who doesn't know that you solved the case, and you have made great contributions." Huang Shilang gave a thumbs up.

"It's a fluke, but it's thanks to the good leadership of the boss."

The two of them were talking nonsense like this for a while, and then Huang Shilang knocked on the side and said, "By the way, Captain Chu, how did that matter go?" Can I get the jewelry box? ”

"It's done, no problem!"

As he spoke, Chu Mufeng took out the jewelry box from his table pocket and handed it over.

"You see, this is it, right? Everything is there. ”

"Well, that's it!" Huang Shilang took the box with both hands, opened it and looked at it, and nodded again and again.

"Captain Chu, thank you. Then I won't bother you busy, go first! Quickly put away the jewelry box, Huang Shilang turned around and was about to leave.

"Brother Huang, wait a minute."

Chu Mufeng raised his eyebrows slightly, stopped Huang Shilang and asked, "Brother Huang, are you familiar with that lost owner?" ”

"It's okay." Huang Shilang replied subconsciously.

"Oh, it's fine."

"Well, you're busy."

After Huang Shilang left, Wang Gezhi came over with a hot water bottle, and said while adding water: "Captain Chu, this weasel is a guy who can't afford to be early, you have to be careful?" ”

Because of the demon cat case, Wang Gezhi also benefited, and he didn't have any background in the criminal investigation team, so when he saw that Chu Mufeng was promoted, he naturally had to hurry over to show his loyalty.

After sitting on the cold bench for so many years, if he doesn't open his mind, he will really be an elm pimple.

"Well, I know it."

Chu Mufeng's eyes rolled slightly, then he swept around, and after finding that no one was paying attention to this side, he beckoned to Wang Gezhi and said in a low voice.

"Brother Wang, you do something for me now, follow the weasel, and see if he is going to hand over the jewelry box to the lost owner, Huang Jianxin; If it is given, then pay attention to Huang Jianxin's whereabouts, and it is best to touch his activity rules and life trajectory. ”

"Okay, captain, don't worry, I'll go!"

Wang Gezhi, who is good at stalking, is not afraid of Chu Mufeng arranging tasks now, but he is afraid of not arranging them.

With a task, he has a chance to perform.

Besides, now that Chu Mufeng is the captain, arranging his own work, it is justified.

Wang Gezhi walked out of the first department in a hurry.

"Weasel, Huang Jianxin, I want to see which of you two has a ghost in his heart."

Touching the beard that had just emerged on his chin, Chu Mufeng narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

……

East Cotton Alley.

If you stand on a high place and look down on this alley, you will find that there are antique courtyard houses inside.

The innermost house is Cao Yunshan's house, which is said to have been the residence of a general in the late Qing Dynasty.

After getting off work in the evening, Chu Mufeng went home and packed up, changed into civilian clothes, and then went straight here with two bags and a long box.

Walking to the door, the first thing that catches your eye is the intricately carved brick arch, each carved lifelike, carrying the thickness of history.

In the past, every time Chu Mufeng came over, he would secretly think that if he could live in this big house and find a beautiful daughter-in-law, this life would be worth it!

Now he has a different taste after watching it.

Knocking on the open door, Chu Mufeng stepped over the door, walked into the courtyard, stood under the lush jujube tree, paused slightly, and said loudly: "Is senior brother at home?" ”

"Who?"

With a crisp voice, a tall young woman with white skin and beautiful facial features, wearing a royal blue cheongsam, walked out of the wing room.

She is Cao Yunshan's daughter-in-law, Ning Rouge, an authentic Jiangnan woman.

"Yo, it's Mu Feng here! Yunshan said that you are coming over tonight, I just asked my subordinates to fry two side dishes, you two brothers should have a few cups. Ning Rouge greeted with a smile.

"I'm tired sister-in-law, this is a little rouge gouache for you, I don't know if you like it or not." As he spoke, Chu Mufeng handed over the bag.

"Hey, how many times have I told you, don't be so polite, bring something every time, it's too out-of-the-box." Ning Rouge took the thing and smiled.

"Thanks to the care of my brother in the hall, it should be."

Ning Rouge said politely, but Chu Mufeng couldn't really be polite, after all, he and Cao Yunshan were just brothers, not brothers.

And Cao Yunshan loves his wife very much, to put it bluntly, it is tracheitis, so as long as Chu Mufeng comes over, he will not forget to bring some gifts to him.

"You are really good at talking, no wonder Yunshan always praises you!" Ning Rouge pinched an orchid and said coquettishly.

As they spoke, the two entered the living room of the main room.

Cao Yunshan's home decoration is a typical traditional style, and all the furniture is all in Chinese style, without any traces of Western decoration.

The ink calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and the vase ornaments in the corners, all reveal the owner's preferences.

There are several dishes on a heavy square table, which are full of color, flavor and flavor, and at first glance it is a typical Jiangnan cuisine

Ning Rouge, who was originally more particular about diet, followed Cao Yunshan to Beiping, and the two people he found were old family members.

"Senior brother." After entering the house and seeing Cao Yunshan, Chu Mufeng immediately said enthusiastically.

In the National Police Department, he is usually referred to as the director, and in private, he calls his senior brother more cordial.

"Hehe, Mu Feng, come on, sit down and talk while eating." Cao Yunshan greeted in civilian clothes.

Chu Mufeng sat down, took the initiative to pour a full amount of wine, picked up the cup and saluted: "Senior brother, this time I can successfully become the deputy captain of the first criminal investigation team, it all depends on your care, not much to say, it's all in the wine, I respect you!" ”

After that, he dried it in one gulp, and then poured it full, and toasted three glasses in a row.

"Okay, okay, what are you doing with me so politely."

Cao Yunshan also drank the wine glass in one go, which was very face-saving for Chu Mufeng.

You must know that he usually drinks outside, and he has always just sipped it, except for a few bigwigs in the hall, few people have made him need to do this.

"Senior brother, you have to work together with Ruoming in the future, he is also the head of a section and your direct boss. Of course, if you have any trouble, you can also come to me directly. Putting down the cup, Cao Yunshan took a bite of food.

"Yes, senior brother, I will definitely do what you tell me."

Chu Mufeng replied as he picked up the wine jug and filled it for Cao Yunshan.

Lin Ruoming is his top boss, but he doesn't still have to listen to Cao Yunshan, his attitude must be correct.

"That's good, that's good!" Cao Yunshan nodded, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

After eating, Chu Mufeng picked up the long box he was carrying and said, "Senior brother, I know that you like calligraphy and painting more, so I specially left that painting for you." ”

"Oh, what painting?" Cao Yunshan raised his eyebrows.

"It's the "Angry Cat Picture", can you take a look?"

"Good!"

When Chu Mufeng displayed this painting on the coffee table, Cao Yunshan was completely drunk, staring at the painting intently.

"Not bad, not bad, what a picture of an angry cat!"

"Tsk, this painting is also written with work, the cat is delicately carved with a fine brush, there is both a rough and bold side, and a subtle side, it is really a rare product!" Cao Yunshan shook his head and said.

Hearing Cao Yunshan's comments, Chu Mufeng smiled slightly and agreed: "What Senior Brother said is extremely true,"

Because my grandfather once opened an antique shop, he also knew a little about antique calligraphy and painting.

But that was in the past, and the current Chu Mufeng just admired these things purely.

In the face of the coming smoke and flames, these are small tricks.

However, my senior brother has no other hobbies, that is, he likes to collect antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and of course he wants to do what he likes.

"If you take this painting down, no one will ask about it, right?" Cao Yunshan looked up and asked.

"Don't worry, senior brother, that Jian Ruyun is alone, even if he is a fellow student, because we solved the case, it's too late to be grateful, how can we ask, and we don't need to explain anything to them!" Chu Mufeng immediately responded.

Hearing this, Cao Yunshan naturally accepted it calmly.

"By the way, Mu Feng, I heard from the teacher, you also have some research on antique calligraphy and painting?" Cao Yunshan seemed to think of something, and then asked.

"I know a little bit about it, and I don't dare to say how deep the research is." Chu Mufeng said modestly.

"Don't hide it, I just received a painting here two days ago, and you came to give me a palm."

After speaking, Cao Yunshan put away the "Angry Cat Picture", and then pulled out a freshly framed ink painting from the bookshelf next to him.

"Mu Feng, how about looking at this painting? Is it true or false? ”

"Good!"

Chu Mufeng was no longer polite, took the painting, and slowly unfolded it.

This is a picture of "Spring Flowers in the South of the Yangtze River", colored on silk, vertical scroll, seal: Wen Zhengming seal.

The picture depicts the spring scenery of the ancient south of the Yangtze River, and the magnificent momentum gives people a delicate sense of trickle, and the characters either stand on the bow of the boat and chant poems and paint, or laugh and enjoy the flowers on the shore, which can be described as lifelike.

After looking at it carefully for a moment, Chu Mufeng, who had a spectrum in his heart, raised his head and said, "Senior brother, let me say a few words?" ”

"Say it!" Cao Yunshan said with a smile.

"Senior brother, as far as I know, Wen Zhengming's works are actually more complicated, because many of his works have been imitated, forged, and even ghostwritten by later generations. Therefore, if you want to distinguish the authenticity, it is best to start from three aspects. Chu Mufeng raised three fingers and said.

"The first is his signature, Wen Zhengming's name was 'wall' before the age of 42, and later he began to change his name to 'Zhengming' after the age of 44; after the age of 44, it was all changed, so before the age of 42, he signed 'wall', and it was from the soil not from the jade, and after the age of 44, it was all signed and signed."

"The second is his painting method, Wen Zhengming's true works are in the work of the foolish and clear, childish and clumsy, with skill, in the odd, in the force, there is a unique charm in it. If you see that kind of formulaic, stereotyped, weak and mediocre calligraphy and painting, it is very likely that it is ghostwritten, or it is simply a forgery. ”

Well, kind of interesting.

Listening to Chu Mufeng's eloquent talk, Cao Yunshan was quite teachable.

He likes to collect calligraphy and paintings, but he is only a monk halfway, and compared with Chu Mufeng, the gap is still obvious.

The so-called layman looks at the liveliness, and the insider looks at the doorway, which is nothing more than that.

"Keep going!" Cao Yunshan said with interest.

"The third is the similarities and differences, after all, only by reading more can we know more, and only then can we understand what other people are saying in imitation of the text. To put it simply, Wen Zhengming's son Wen Jia likes to use sparse sketches, while his disciple Qian Gu uses a coarser one. ”

Having said this, Chu Mufeng saw the apprehension on Cao Yunshan's face, and he stopped inking, pointed to the calligraphy and painting and went straight to the topic and said.

"Senior brother, this "Spring Flowers in the South of the Yangtze River" is signed by the word 'Zhengming', which is obviously his work in his later years. Wen Zhengming's landscape paintings have changes in the early, middle and late periods, and his late periods, whether green or ink, are mainly based on fine workmanship. ”

"This painting is rigorous, fine, and elegant, so I judge that it should be genuine."

"Good! That's a good point! Mu Feng, you are indeed a talent! Cao Yunshan couldn't help but applaud.

After putting away this ink painting, Cao Yunshan, who was in a good mood, turned his head and asked.

"Oh. By the way, Mu Feng, on your first day as the vice captain today, did you encounter a thorn? If there is something to say, I'll do them. The new official takes office with three fires, and they have to be burned when they should be burned, you're welcome! ”
