Chapter 33: There's Something Else
Xu Zheng said what happened again, and Professor Zhao pondered for a long time, "Officer An, Xiaozheng, I tell you the truth, I dare not give the true or false results of this painting with my experience, from the painting skills, rice paper materials, ink and the inscription of Song Huizong, as well as the collection marks of famous artists in the past dynasties, all show that this painting is genuine."
But as you all know, it is generally impossible for the Potuton Museum to lose this painting, and there is still a difference between this painting and the beautiful one, you can see that the black ink on this painting, and a few broken places, are different from the original painting.
However, these differences are not enough to prove that the painting is fake, because such differences may also be artificial. ”
Xu Zheng was dumbfounded, so is this true or false, without waiting for Xu Zheng to speak, Professor Zhao said to himself: "There is another possibility, that is, these two paintings are real." ”
Seeing that Xu Zheng and the others were all confused, Professor Zhao explained that the ancient rice paper was very thick, and the papermaking was made by laying raw materials layer by layer, so the top masters could uncover three ancient paintings from a pair of rice paper.
Because it is a painting that has been exposed, then these three paintings are genuine, and then under the operation of the master of framing and counterfeiting, the uncovered painting is rendered in color and transplanted to a new rice paper, and this new rice paper must be made of the same age and material as the original painting, that is to say, there must be more than 900 years of history of rice paper.
Professor Zhao judged that there were several rendered black ink and some small holes in this painting, which must have been a mistake left by the expert's craftsmanship at that time, and looking at these damages, this painting should be the lower layer after uncovering, because the color is a little light, and there is a sour smell on the painting, which is the taste of a special framing liquid.
"Then, Grandpa Zhao, do you mean that this is also a genuine work?" Xu Zheng said excitedly, he was happy that he felt that his judgment was correct, and he was also happy that an ancient painting had returned to the embrace of the motherland.
As for the sixth child, to be honest, even if this painting is his, he probably won't be able to keep it, because the value is so great, you dare to put it at home?
I have to pay a lot of money every year to release the bank.
As for buying and selling, it is estimated that this is not necessarily allowed, because diplomacy is involved.
Of course, if there is another reason for the origin of this face, then it will have to be said separately.
"I said this based on my experience, but you must know that when you go out of this door, Grandpa Zhao will not dare to guarantee the ticket for the sake of that reputation. Therefore, I suggest that experts should be organized to identify it together, and at the same time do a scientific appraisal, and the comparison of the two is enough to prove the authenticity of this painting. ”
Xu Zheng and An Ru understand some of the rules of the antique industry, and if you say that this painting is real, it doesn't count, and it can only be true after everyone recognizes it.
Since it has to be re-identified, this painting will be placed in the police station first, as for the sixth child, you can go home, but you can't go out of Changming City these days, Xu Zheng patted the sixth person on the shoulder, "After you go back, find a way to find out the evidence of your family's ancient paintings, when the time comes, if this painting is genuine, you have to prove your innocence, rest assured that as long as you can prove that this painting is yours, no one will rob you." ”
If this painting is identified as a revealing painting, then it is a genuine work, it is a stolen cultural relic, and this is a big case worth tens of millions of dollars, so if the sixth child cannot prove that his family obtained it by normal means, then he must be suspected of having a connection with the person who stole the painting.
Of course, we can only take one step at a time to see what it is.
As Anru reported the matter to Wang Nianpan, Wang Nianpan heard that this was the appraisal of the former director of the Changming City Museum, and 80% of it was true, so he didn't dare to be careless, and directly called the sub-bureau, and the sub-bureau didn't dare to hesitate, mainly because this painting is of great value, not only in terms of money, but also because this picture is a picture of Tang aristocratic women practicing sewing, which has high historical research value.
Therefore, after the leader knew that it was the result of Professor Zhao Yuanshan's appraisal, he immediately sent someone to bring the ancient painting to the sub-bureau and protect it.
Besides, Zhao Yuanshan, after saying goodbye to Su Tongyun, immediately contacted calligraphy and painting experts in various regions of Pingjiang Province, and he didn't say anything else, but just sent a photo of the painting and his suspicions to WeChat, just like that, experts from all over Pingjiang Province immediately rushed to Changming City after receiving the information.
The circle of ancient calligraphy and painting is actually quite small, so as soon as it was rumored, even the director of the Ziwei Palace Museum called in person, and in the end he didn't say a word, and immediately rushed to the museum with the calligraphy and painting team.
In this way, the news leaked unconsciously, an old man in a 10,000-acre manor in a beautiful country only saw him full of white hair, after answering the phone, he was extremely angry, directly smashed the crystal wine glass in his hand, and spit out a string of English in his mouth, "Tell Jason to bring back the ancient painting of the Song Dynasty that was lost in the country of flowers 20 years ago." ”
At this time, the police station was very lively, because everyone knew that Xu Zheng's grandmother was coming, and the people at home in the institute came to greet this strong woman, and Su Tongyun was not the first time to come to the institute, and she would come over to celebrate the New Year with everyone on Chinese New Year's Eve every year.
When Xu Zheng sent her out alone, he said with a look of grievance: "Grandma, look, it's really not my hypocrisy this time, I can't stop this luck when it comes." ”
"Hmph, stop acting, I don't know if I don't know what I'm going to become, go get busy, grandma take a taxi and go home directly."
At four o'clock in the afternoon, a group of experts crowded to the Yiqiao District Bureau, and Xu Zheng also got an order to contact Lao Liu and take him to the branch to state the origin and discovery of the ancient paintings.
When Xu Zheng took the sixth child to the large conference room of the sub-bureau, it was crowded with people, and many leaders of the sub-bureau didn't even have a place to sit, mainly because there were too many bigwigs inside, although they were cultural, but the level was there after all, and you should never underestimate the ability of these old men and ladies.
When Xu Zheng was allowed to enter, he saw Xu Xiuchuan, the executive deputy director of the sub-bureau, and Zhao Yuanshan chatting with an old man with gray hair. ”
Dean Bai, the director of the Ziwei Palace Museum, the big leader, faced Xu Zheng without a little shelf, chatted a few words and asked about the process of Xu Zheng's discovery of ancient paintings, and the owner of the ancient paintings.
It turned out that after more than two hours of appraisal by the expert group, even a part of the painting was uncovered at the end of the painting, and the conclusion given was that it was genuine, but it must have been uncovered and then restored.
Now I have to send it to the Changming Antique Culture Research Institute tomorrow for the so-called scientific appraisal, and this ancient painting can be officially declared genuine.
Therefore, for these leaders, the top priority is the issue of the ownership of ancient paintings.
Xu Zheng glanced at Xu Xiuchuan and saw the director nodding, "Leaders, we carefully inquired about Wenrenliang about various details of this painting, and the result of the judgment was that his father Wenren Changshan didn't know how to get this painting 20 years ago, and we guessed that someone should have stolen the original painting of the Potuton Museum, and obtained the current one by revealing the painting, and the original painting was put in the museum." ”
At this time, Dean Bai nodded while agreeing with Xu Zheng's guess, but he was overturned in his heart, 20 years ago, he was already a senior researcher, and at that time, there was a group of "three hands" active in museums in various countries, and they stole the treasures of various countries by using fake and real treasures.
The pair in front of them may be their masterpiece, but Dean Bai didn't say it in public, after all, the stakes are high.
At the same time, a young man came from the community where Wenren Liang lived and handed the security guard at the door a Huazi, "Uncle, is there a surname Wenren in our community?" ”
