Chapter 348: Reason
Following the special car of the three old artists, they left Beijing University and galloped all the way, and walked through the streets and alleys to a courtyard house.
The cars were parked in the temporary parking line next to the courtyard wall.
Several old gentlemen got out of the car and came over, and Ren Bufan also quickly opened the car door and came outside.
"Go inside and say!" Yan Shun watched Ren Bufan close the car door, take the key and lock it, and beckoned him to follow.
followed Yan Shun, Zhou Kang, and Jiang Mingfei into the courtyard, and felt similar to a rural family.
But Ren Bufan clearly knows that those who live in the courtyard in the capital are not ordinary people.
When I arrived in the courtyard, I found that there were many exotic flowers and plants planted around, and the environment was elegant and cool.
Then enter the hall, which is also full of quaint home furnishings.
There was no one else in the courtyard and it was very quiet.
"Do!" When they arrived in the hall, Yan Shun turned back and said, "I'll make you tea." ”
One sentence shows the ownership of the courtyard, and only the host will make tea for the guests.
Zhou Kang and Jiang Mingfei seemed to be very familiar with each other, and they should come over often and sit down very comfortably.
Ren Bufan was a little restrained, and also sat down at the table.
Yan Shun quickly made a cup of hot tea for each of the three of them, and the jar of the tea seemed to have a big red robe written on the outside. He made himself a cup, sat down with a teacup in one hand and pulled out his phone in the other.
"Three teachers, may I ask what help you need to bring me here?" Ren Bufan asked.
"Don't worry!" Yan Shun quickly rummaged through the contacts with his mobile phone, selected a name and dialed it.
How is it mysterious? Ren Bufan said in his heart, could it be that I was asked to copy famous paintings to make money for them? Or is it to forge the authentic works of ancient paintings to make black money? That is a crime, this cannot be done!
Just thinking about it, the other side was connected, and Yan Shun put the phone to his ear: "Hey! I know you're at work, and I won't call you back if you're fine. What I said last time, yes, come here, yes, yes, that's all!"
After speaking, hang up directly.
Ren Bufan couldn't hear what the other party said, and he didn't know who the other party was. I could only hear Yan Shun's words, but I couldn't analyze too much content.
There is only one point, it should be Yan Shun's family who answered the phone, and he said that he would not say that to outsiders when he went home.
Yan Shun hung up the phone, looked at Ren Bufan and asked with a smile, "I'm very confused, right? I don't know what I called you for?"
"Anyway, it must have something to do with copying paintings!" Ren Bufan said.
"Of course, what we value is your ability!" Zhou Kang said on the side, "Don't worry, what we are going to do is very legitimate." ”
"What exactly?" asked Ren Bufan.
"Let's talk about it when the people come!" Yan Shun said, "Actually, a few of us are also entrusted by others, and we are distressed! Didn't we just meet you? You said that there is such a coincidence in the world, and when needed, there are suitable people." ”
"Indeed!" Zhou Kang smiled, "This is fate!"
Ren Bufan was confused, and he couldn't figure out what he was going to do.
The three old artists are not idle, you and I start to ask questions one by one, asking about any extraordinary things. The main reason is what motivation he is for learning to paint, whether there is really no one to teach him purely self-study, how to master the ability of such a miraculous skill, etc., which is almost the same as checking the household registration.
Ren Bufan could only answer patiently one by one, sitting here and waiting honestly.
After about 20 minutes, there was a sound of police cars honking their horns outside the door, getting closer and closer, and finally stopping outside.
When Ren Bufan heard this voice, what did he say in his heart?
"It's coming!" Yan Shun heard the voice and took a sip of the teacup, very pleasant.
Zhou Kang and Jiang Mingfei were the same, the three old men were carefully tasting tea.
Only Ren Bufan was a little panicked, how could there be the sound of a police car?
He didn't do anything bad, but a few old people didn't say why they called themselves over, and now they came to the police car for some reason, but they said "here", why?
With deep doubts, he turned his head to look at the courtyard outside with his teacup.
Soon someone pushed the door in, walked quickly in the direction of the hall, and saw a police uniform in the distance.
Ren Bufan was even more puzzled, and at the same time very nervous.
Soon, the man outside came in, a policeman with half a hundred hair, looking at the Chinese character face in his fifties, seemed to be about to run for six, but he was upright.
Who is this man?
Ren Bufan looked at the visitor curiously, and the old policeman also noticed the stranger, looked at him suspiciously, and turned to Yan Shun: "Are you here?" Uncle Zhou, Uncle Jiang!"
"Wait so long?" Yan Shun frowned at him, but didn't stand up.
"Busy!" the old policeman turned to Ren Bufan, "This is ......"
"Introduction!" Yan Shun spoke to Ren Bufan and pointed to the old policeman, "This is my son Yan Biao, who has been working in the police station for more than 20 years!"
"Hello!" Ren Bufan quickly got up and turned to the old policeman and stretched out his hand.
It turns out that he is Yan Shun's son! But Yan Shun looks like he is only sixty or seventy years old, and the two of them are like brothers more than father and son!
"Hello!" the old policeman smiled and nodded, and reached out to shake Ren Bufan, "This little brother ......"
He is a new student at Jingjing University this year and a member of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. Yan Shun said, "The surname is Ren, and the name is extraordinary." ”
"Oh!" Yan Biao stared at Ren Bufan, "New apprentice?"
"If you have such an apprentice, I can die happily!" Yan Shun said with a smile.
"Is that Uncle Zhou or Uncle Jiang's apprentice?"
"Neither!" you sit down and talk. ”
"Dad, I'm busy. ”
"Sit down for me!"
"Eh!" Yan Biao still sat down obediently.
Seeing him sit down, Yan Shun turned to Ren Bufan, smiled and said, "My son is a policeman, he is forty-seven years old, and he is barely a director, and he can't become a climate!"
"Forty-seven?!" Ren Bufan was startled.
His shout made the three old gentlemen, as well as Yan Biao, stunned. Feelings you are surprised by age, not position?
Seeing everyone looking at him, Ren Bufan was suddenly a little embarrassed: "This ...... I thought ......"
"It's because I'm too old!" Yan Biao laughed, "The work pressure is high, the gray hair is coming out, and many people say that I don't want to be forty-seven, but like seventy-four." ”
"That's not it," Ren Bufan hurriedly said, "I look like I'm fifty or sixty years old......
"It doesn't make a difference. Yan Biao said with a smile.
"I'm sorry!" Ren Bufan coughed lightly and turned to Yan Shun, "Teacher Yan, what is the matter with calling me over?
"What's the situation?" Yan Biao also asked.
Yan Shun took a sip of tea, carefully put the teacup on the side, and looked at the two with a smile: "Since the person is here, let's talk about it!" ”
"Huh!"
"Didn't you ask me, as well as your Uncle Zhou and Uncle Jiang to help you copy the Five Ox Pictures for you?" Yan Shun asked, "As a result, there is no way to confuse the real with the fake, and you also dragged us to ask other well-known painters to see if we can copy the Five Ox Pictures that do not distinguish between the real and the fake." ”
"Found someone?" Yan Biao looked surprised.
"Found it!"
"What about people?"
"Whoa! right in front of you. Yan Shun pointed to Ren Bufan.
Yan Biao's smile suddenly froze, and he looked at Ren Bufan and asked suspiciously, "He?"
"Yes!"
"No kidding, okay?"
"Who is joking with you?" Yan Shun frowned, "It's you who said that you need a master of copying, and you must be able to confuse the real with the fake." There are a lot of people in our calligraphy and painting circles who are good at copying, but it is really difficult to find one who can make the five cow pictures fake and real. Who expected that luck was good, I went to Beijing University to participate in the event today, and I happened to meet this little genius, he is really powerful, just in line with your requirements, so I brought it back. ”
"He's a master of copying?" Yan Biao looked at Ren Bufan with puzzled eyes, "Really?"
"Of course it's true, we've tried it ourselves!" Zhou Kang said, "You don't believe Lao Yan, you have to believe the two of us, right?"
Jiang Mingfei nodded vigorously on the side.
"Of course I believe in the two uncles......" Yan Biao turned his puzzled gaze to Ren Bufan again, "Are you really a master of copying?"
Seeing him ask, Ren Bufan hurriedly replied: "I don't dare to be a master, but I still have a hand in copying paintings." I would like to ask what is the situation now? I have not told me much about the teachers along the way, and I don't know what I am here for. ”
"Dad, didn't you tell him?"
"No! ”
"So?" Yan Biao turned to Ren Bufan, although he was still suspicious, he still said to him, "In fact, a wealthy businessman reported that someone had set his sights on the Wuniu diagram he had just auctioned and would steal it from him at any cost." Our police received a report and pursued it for many days without any clues. In fact, many wealthy businessmen have been targeted before, and they also received the same warning, and then did not pay attention to it, resulting in the theft of precious antiques. Our police are keeping an eye on us 24 hours a day, and the other party has not shown up. It's not a way to go on like this, so they want to use the five bull pictures they are targeting as bait to set a trap to lure the other party to capture them in one fell swoop. In addition, those criminals are said to be very familiar with calligraphy, paintings, and antiques, and ordinary fakes are easy to recognize, and it is difficult to draw them out. There must be a replica that can be faked and authentic, so that they cannot easily see through it, so that it can be successfully hooked out and fall into the trap. At the same time, it can also avoid damage to the original product. We plan to pretend to withdraw the police force first, let the rich businessman pretend to lift the alarm, and hold an event to show the five bull diagrams to lure those criminals into being fooled. Now that everything is ready, there is just a fake that can deceive them, and many people have been asked secretly in the calligraphy and painting circles, so far, although many people have helped, but it is really difficult to really do it with the fake. ”
"So, you called me over to help copy a picture of five oxen as bait in a trap?" Ren Bufan asked.
"If you can do it, it's true!" Yan Biao nodded, "This criminal gang is very difficult to catch, and this trap must be foolproof." Only by catching them all can we ensure that the same case will not happen again in the future. ”
