Chapter 22: The Bronze Eyes

I saw that most of the two ends of the eyes above the bronze mirror had been worn out, and only a small part of the middle remained.

However, under closer inspection, you can still feel some deep and strange meaning.

"Ling Suo, is this really that eye?"

Although this eye was a bit interesting, Xia Jian couldn't associate it with that eye.

Not only him, but even Liang Wenhao was confused.

"Wen Hao, follow the existing arc and try to use retouching software to repair the missing parts at both ends of this eye..."

Ling Feng trusted his instincts and decided that this eye was the clue he was looking for.

"Okay, I'll give it a try!"

Liang Wenhao responded, and he was not sure if he could recover.

Immediately, Liang Wenhao imported the bronze mirror picture into the retouching software.

He first used curves to trace the up and down curvatures of the remaining part of the eye.

Then, carefully control the angle of the upper arc to gradually extend downwards, and then extend the lower arc upwards in the same way until it crosses the upper arc.

Finally, remove the extra arcs after the crossing.

At this point, the outline of one eye is outlined.

"It's done, Ling Suo, don't really say it, it seems to be really interesting!"

Liang Wenhao said excitedly.

Ling Feng nodded.

"Wen Hao, fill in the black again."

"Okay!"

Immediately, Liang Wenhao filled the outline of the new outline with black little by little.

After finishing, Liang Wenhao and Xia Jian gasped.

"My God, Ling Suo, I really let you say it, this is really that eye!"

Xia Jian looked at Ling Feng with a shocked expression.

At this time, not only Xia Jian, but even Liang Wenhao was somewhat convinced by Ling Feng.

"It seems that there is still something to be gained tonight!"

Ling Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wen Hao, look at where this picture comes from, is there any relevant introduction to this bronze mirror..."

"Okay, Ling Suo!"

At this time, Liang Wenhao no longer had any hesitation about Ling Feng's arrangement, almost obeyed his words, and had no distractions.

So, Liang Wenhao clicked on the source of the bronze mirror picture, which seemed to be an antique website.

This site specializes in images of old artifacts.

And this bronze mirror picture was taken at the Xihua City Museum.

"Ling Suo, there is only a source for the introduction of this bronze mirror, which is the Xihua City Museum, and there is no other introduction..."

Liang Wenhao pulled down the page, hoping to find more content.

"As long as there is a provenance, it's easy to do, it's a big deal!" Ling Feng said optimistically.

"However, going back to the bronze mirror itself, there is something strange..."

Immediately, Ling Feng's face showed doubts.

"Oh? What's a strange way? Xia Jian asked curiously.

"To be collected by the Xihua City Museum, it must be an antique, which means that this eye appeared a long time ago..."

Ling Feng said slowly.

"What!" Liang Wenhao and Xia Jian shouted in unison.

Obviously, they only focused on that eye, and did not think about the age of the bronze mirror itself.

"Is it possible that modern people did it later?"

Liang Wenhao still felt unbelievable about the time when that eye appeared.

Ling Feng shook his head slightly.

"Looking at the traces left in the eyes, they must not have been made by later generations!"

"But how did this black come to be made on the bronze mirror? Could the ancients have had this technology? ”

Xia Jian asked puzzled.

"If this bronze mirror photo is not distorted, I guess the black part of the eyes should be black lacquer..."

Ling Feng pointed to the remaining part of his eyes in the middle of the photo and said slowly.

"Dark Ancient? What is it? ”

Liang Wenhao and Xia Jian were at a loss.

Ling Feng smiled.

"Oh, I heard from an antique friend of mine, black lacquer ancient is the bronze that has been oxidized for a long time to form an oxide film composed of copper oxide or cuprous sulfide, which is black..."

"Ling Suo, you really can, you even know this thing about antiques!"

Liang Wenhao gave Ling Feng a thumbs up.

"Don't like it, think about what else is missing!"

Ling Feng looked at the bronze mirror carefully, and always felt that something was wrong.

"Ling Suo, it's all bronze too, why are only the eyes black?"

Xia Jian asked suspiciously.

Ling Feng slapped his head.

"I said how do you feel like something is wrong, it turns out that it is here, it seems that it is too late, and my brain is not active..."

Immediately, Ling Feng compared the black eye part with the somewhat dim bronze part, and gently stroked his chin and groaned for a moment.

"Could it be that this eye is not one with the bronze mirror, but was later set on it?"

"I'll just say it's done by modern people!" Xia Jian said proudly.

Ling Feng gave him a blank look.

"Use your brain before you speak, don't open your mouth and come, I mean this eye is older than this bronze mirror!"

"If that's the case, it would explain why only the eye is missing..."

"Of course, only if you exclude artificiality..."

"And, judging from the traces and stubble that remain at both ends of this eye, the age of this bronze mirror and this eye must be a long time ago..."

"No wonder it can be collected by the Xihua City Museum, it does have a certain archaeological value!"

Ling Feng sighed.

And Xia Jian sighed, like a frosted eggplant.

"Ling Suo, if this eye really exists from ancient times, then is it necessary to investigate this case?"

Ling Feng didn't refute this time, because he was also muttering in his heart.

This ancient thing is often not even understood by historians and archaeologists, and in the end they have to make up a decent story to prevaricate.

Moreover, he is a member of the yamen, and he must speak with evidence in everything.

However, the case will definitely be investigated, but the longer it is involved, the longer it is involved, the longer it is bound to take a long-term view.

Judging from the current clues, these murders should be counted as one case.

At present, there are three clues to follow in the case, the Bianqiao Civil Engineering Group, the modified 4G network base station, and this bronze mirror.

Thinking of this, Ling Feng nodded heavily.

"Check! I didn't give up when I was confused some time ago, but now that there are traces to follow, how can I retreat! ”

"However, we must be prepared to fight a protracted war, after all, this eye involves history, and it must be indispensable."

"Good! Lingsuo, I'm with you! ”

"And me!"

Liang Wenhao patted his chest excitedly, and Xia Jian immediately echoed.

Ling Feng smiled and didn't refuse, after all, he really couldn't do it alone.

"Okay, to find out the origin of this bronze mirror, you can only take a trip to the Xihua City Museum!"

"And when are we leaving?" Liang Wenhao asked eagerly.

Ling Feng chuckled.

"You can take me to see the base station first!"

"No problem, I'll take you there at dawn!"

Liang Wenhao said briskly.

"No, no, no, we have to catch up on sleep tomorrow and go back in the evening!"
