Chapter 010: Detecting the Jade Ring
Time flies, Han Wei has been in Ningxian for a month, and today he has come to Nanjing and boarded a flight to Beijing. Han Wei's parents have come to Ning County in person, and finally decided to face it in person, with his parents here, Han Wei can't wait to go to Beijing, where there is the most advanced testing institution in the country, Han Wei is convinced that he can find out the special substances in the black soil, as well as the secret of the mysterious white jade ring.
Li Chun's final test report also came out, and the final conclusion was that the impact caused brain death, for this result, Han Wei always remained skeptical, because even the police could not explain that the body still maintained a body temperature of more than 20 degrees at the moment of cremation.
After an hour and a half of flight, Han Wei got off the plane smoothly and went straight to the residence of Zhang Quan, the university tutor and professor in front of him, which is also an apartment in the school, Han Wei had already contacted the tutor, and the other party was waiting for him at home at the moment. Zhang Quan lectures on Chinese history, and has a very in-depth study of the humanities and history of various eras, so he must be able to see which era the style of the white jade ring belongs to.
It's been more than half a year since he left school, but Han Wei didn't have the heart to relive the beauty of the year, and went straight to his tutor's home. The tutor lived alone in the apartment, and after a few brief greetings, Han Wei took out the white jade ring from his bag. Since discovering that the white jade ring may be the root cause of the plague, Han Wei took off the white jade ring when he left Ning County, and specially bought an iron box that could be sealed.
Zhang Quan carefully observed every place in the white jade ring, and the tenfold magnifying glass was enough to see every detail. I saw that Zhang Quan's expression kept changing, and finally became deeply solemn, and after waiting for a long time, Zhang Quan put down the white jade ring and said, "Where did you get this jade ring?" ”
Han Wei thought that Zhang Quan had made a discovery, and was slightly excited, and said: "This is our Han family's ancestral heirloom, I only saw it recently, and I don't know exactly when I got it." ”
Zhang Quan frowned slightly when he heard this, and said: "The style of this jade ring is too strange, I have never heard of any age where a groove will be carved on the edge of the jade ring, which completely destroys the beauty of the ring, and the value is greatly reduced." ”
Even Zhang Quan didn't find anything, Han Wei couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and at the same time became more curious about the white jade ring, thinking that maybe the grooves on the ring were deliberately done at all, just to make the ring have some special function, just like Taoist runes. Although Han Wei thought so in his heart, he didn't believe it very much, it was just a reverie after he couldn't find the source of the white jade ring.
"Although I don't know what age the jade ring is, it is so natural, it takes a long time, and it is definitely an antiquity." Zhang Quan said as he was still studying the white jade ring, and he seemed to be unwilling. After a while, he still didn't find anything, and said, "I have an old friend who is the top archaeologist, let him see tomorrow, maybe he can find something." ”
Han Wei had originally given up on starting from this aspect, and was ready to send it directly to the laboratory for testing, but when he saw that Zhang Quan said that there were top archaeologists, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart. The two chatted for a while, and Han Wei said goodbye and left, now that it was getting late, he could only find a place to rest temporarily, and he had made an appointment with the archaeologist to meet tomorrow morning. Han Wei stayed in a hotel near the school, and I don't know if there were too many doubts that had not been solved, and he had not slept all night.
Early the next morning, Han Wei went to Zhang Quan's house first, and the two went to the Chinese Institute of Social Sciences and Archaeology in Wangfujing. Zhang Quan seemed to be familiar with the way, and it didn't take much time to reach the Institute of Archaeology.
At the door, an old man with white hair and a very strong body strode up to meet him, and said with a smile: "Lao Zhang, I don't want to go to the Three Treasures Hall if I have nothing to do, I'm very busy, hurry up and say something." ”
"Old enemy, didn't you just come back, what can happen?" Zhang Quan said, pointed at Han Wei, and said, "This is my student Han Wei, and I came today to let you see a treasure." ”
Han Wei hurriedly said, "I've seen Old Qiu." On the way here, Han Wei had already learned the identity of the other party from Zhang Quan's mouth, his real name is Qiu Lu, he is one of the top archaeologists in China, and he is also Zhang Quan's classmate and roommate, and the relationship between the two is very good, otherwise the identity of Qiu Lu is definitely not something that Han Wei can come into contact with.
Qiu Lu nodded, it seemed that his first impression of Han Wei was good, Qiu Lu said hello to the doorman, and then took Han Wei and the two into the archaeological research institute. This is also the reason why Qiu Lu came to greet him in person, ordinary people cannot enter the archaeological research institute at all.
When I came to Qiu Lu's office, it was not very big, and Qiu Lu couldn't wait to see what kind of treasure it was, for people like them who have been dealing with archaeological research all year round, it was some rare treasures that could arouse interest. Han Wei didn't hesitate, took out the white jade ring and handed it over.
Qiu Lu took the white jade ring, first stroked it gently, back and forth more than a dozen times, and his expression did not change. After rubbing it more than a dozen times, he put it in front of him, and after a few glances, Qiu Lu's brows furrowed. After waiting for a moment, Qiu Lu turned sideways and held the white jade ring to the window. The curtains were not closed on the window, and the sunlight was shining in at the moment, and the white jade ring was in the sunlight, and there was no change, or there was no flaw. Qiu Lu's brows were almost twisted together, facing the sun, constantly flipping the white jade ring.
Han Wei and Zhang Quan didn't bother, Zhang Quan drank tea by himself, Han Wei couldn't be so calm, this was related to whether he could unlock the secret of the white jade ring, and the tension in his heart couldn't be relieved. The longer he waited, the more nervous Han Wei made him fidget, and he had already drunk many cups of tea in front of him, but he still felt thirsty.
"Where did this jade ring come from?" Qiu Lu took back the white jade ring, but his eyes were still on the jade ring, and he didn't move too much.
"The white jade ring is my ancestral heirloom, and it has been passed down for many generations, and it is unknown where it came from." Han Wei knew that the white jade ring was an extremely rare treasure, and it was indispensable to defend against people, so he didn't say that his grandfather picked it up from the Yangtze River.
Qiu Lu didn't ask any more questions, stared at Bai Yujie again, and fell into silence for a while, and the silence lasted for a long time, making people feel depressed.
"Old enemy, can't you see what age this is?" Zhang Quan finally couldn't help it.
"These are at least antiquities of more than a thousand years, not only is it so weird, but even this jade, I have never seen it, and I have not even heard of it." Qiu Lu paused for a moment, "The best pure color white in the white jade is the mutton fat white jade, the mutton fat white jade is pure white translucent against the light, and it has a sense of fog, but this white jade ring is almost completely transparent, and even the fog is not visible. ”
Han Wei himself has also collected jade, and knows the value of mutton fat and white jade, and now the white jade ring will compare mutton fat and white jade, but I am afraid that it is already truly valuable. The more precious the white jade ring is, the more worried Han Wei becomes, such a precious thing, choosing this peculiar style, naturally has a deep meaning. Han Wei couldn't help but think of the plague in Han Village, as well as the peculiar heartbeat induction, and couldn't help but feel a chill.
"Can you put the jade ring in the institute for a few days to study, there is the most advanced testing equipment here, and you will definitely know the texture of the jade ring." Qiu Lu's interest in the white jade ring was extremely strong, and he naturally wanted to leave the jade ring to study it carefully, but seeing that Han Wei was silent, he thought of such a treasure, how could he be willing to stay here, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful and lost.
Han Wei fell into a thought just now, it was not that he refused to leave the white jade ring, although he was also reluctant in his heart, after all, it was a priceless treasure, but when he thought of the plague in Han Village, and many mysterious events, he hesitated a little, but decided to leave the white jade ring, if even the most advanced equipment could not detect it, I was afraid that he would never find the answer.
"Bai Yujie stayed, but it was just troublesome for the old man." Since it was decided, Han Wei did not hesitate, thinking of the weirdness of the white jade ring, he was afraid that it would affect many people, so he hurriedly said: "It's just that I also ask Qiu Lao not to let too many people come into contact." ”
Qiu Lu was overjoyed when he saw Han Wei agree, and he didn't hide the joy in his heart, just thinking that Han Wei didn't want too many people to know that he had a priceless treasure, so he hurriedly said: "This can definitely rest assured, at least three days, at most seven days, it will definitely return to Zhao." ”
As soon as Han Wei heard that Bi Gui Zhao, his heart trembled for no reason, and this inexplicable feeling made Han Wei feel uneasy. If it was before, it would have been directly ignored as an illusion, but since coming into contact with the white jade ring, I have felt that these sudden feelings have a deep meaning. Han Wei forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, thinking of the black soil in his bag, since there was the most advanced testing equipment here, many things could be saved.
"Old Qiu, can you do me a small favor?" Han Wei saw that Qiu Lao's expression was a little serious, and it seemed that it was difficult to refuse, so he knew that the other party had misunderstood, and immediately said, "I just want to ask Qiu Lao to help test what substances are in this black soil." ”
Saying that, Han Wei took out the glass bottle containing the black soil, originally wanted to go to a testing unit after seeing Qiu Lu, but now there is the most advanced instrument here, how can he miss it. Just now, Qiu Lu thought that Han Wei was going to make some request, but it was not good to refuse directly, and when he heard that it was just a bottle of black soil, such a simple thing, he agreed without hesitation. Qiu Lu didn't care too much about what Han Wei said, there is a mysterious substance in the black soil, which may be harmful to the human body, and there is a sealed testing room in the place, so there is no need to worry about it at all. And a small bottle of black soil is not a bacterial virus, so Qiu Lu doesn't care about it.
Seeing Qiu Lu's indifferent expression, Han Wei originally wanted to remind You, seeing that the other party's eyes had never left the white jade ring, he knew that the other party was itching, but he was embarrassed to send the guest directly. Without waiting for Han Wei to speak, Zhang Quan had already said with a smile: "Old Qiu, you are busy first, and then make an appointment to get together when you have time." ”
Qiu Lu just nodded, he didn't even mean to send off the guests, Zhang Quan knew him very well, and he didn't have the slightest look of displeasure, but explained to Han Wei that the other party's personality dictated. For these people who have no life in research, they usually have a spirit of selflessness, Han Wei only has admiration in his heart, where will there be blame. Han Wei and Zhang Quan left together, Zhang Quan still had classes in the afternoon, and they would separate when they went out, Han Wei had already thought about it, and went to the Panjiayuan Antique Market to have a look, maybe he could find some clues about the white jade ring.
