Yan Zhiyi's master, Wen Yanru, a master of antiquities restoration, met a young man with excellent qualifications and wanted to teach this young man what he had learned all his life, this young man said that his name was George, and did not mention his surname, in fact, this person was young George Brown!

Wen Yanru himself is from a family of tomb robbers, so he has no opinion. Even if the young man in front of him was a brown-haired and blue-eyed alien, he would take him as an apprentice.

George Brown had been in China for some time and had learned to speak Chinese. Therefore, Wen Yanru was able to pass on all his skills to George Brown without reservation.

George Brown is a genius, and after two or three years, he has basically learned most of Wen Yanru's skills.

Yan Zhi was born in a wealthy family, and his family also had his own family business. In the years when George Brown was learning art, Yan Zhiyi happened to take over the family business, so he only went to the master's house for three festivals and two birthdays every year.

He had only met George Brown once or twice, and he felt that this early twentieth year old was a bit introverted and not very talkative.

Later, Wen Zhiru suddenly became seriously ill, and in front of the sickbed, Wen Zhiru told Yan Zhiyi that he was originally a tomb robber.

He also informed that some time ago, George Brown suddenly said goodbye without saying goodbye, and took away the handscroll "Thirteen Supplements" written by him for many years of experience in the restoration and appraisal of antiquities.

Although there is only one volume of the Thirteen Supplements, it contains four volumes. The first of these four volumes is the restoration of ancient books and paintings, which are the skills of Qianbo knife, borrowing corpses to return souls, and combining jewels.

The second volume is a collection of three articles on porcelain restoration, namely: Baibi Lingyan, Qibu Xingluo, and Mirror Mercury Frost.

The third volume is a collection of three articles on the restoration of bronzes, namely: the unity of Vientiane, the line of heaven and earth, and the curtain of succession.

The fourth volume is the restoration of gold, stone and jade, namely: the sun and the moon on the wall, the chisel of the dragon, the neck of the handsome, and the flowers on the mo.

In addition to the traditional techniques summarized and circulated by the predecessors, there are also some unique techniques such as their own research, which can be said to be a rare manuscript of antiquities restoration techniques.

Wen Yanru had planned to teach all the skills to George Brown, but he didn't expect him to suddenly disappear with the manuscript.

Yan Zhiyi knew that his qualifications were limited and he couldn't learn all the skills of his master, so he didn't care much about the "Thirteen Chapters of Supplements" at first.

But Wen Yanru told him that the reason why he was nervous about the scroll was not the skills recorded in it, but the hidden symbolic information.

It turned out that Wen Yanru had made up all the tombs that had been explored over the years but not excavated into code marks, hidden in the handscrolls, including several tombs in Tianjin Wei, and some clues to the lost Endless Kingdom.

The skills in the book don't matter, but if these codes allow foreigners to gain enlightenment, then these treasures left by the ancestors will have to be sent to foreign countries by the time.

George Brown took the "Thirteen Supplements" without asking for himself, which in itself shows the greed in his character.

Wen Yanru just wanted to find a successor, but he couldn't see people, so the handscroll was stolen by him. After the Gengzi Revolution, countless cultural relics were looted by foreigners in China.

George Brown was a foreigner after all, and if he found the code in the scroll and unravel it, the hidden tombs would be in trouble.

When Wen Yan was terminally ill, please ask Yan Zhiyi to find the handscroll of "Thirteen Chapters of Supplements" before he unlocks the code.

Although Yan Zhiyi agreed to the master, he searched everywhere and still failed to find any clues about George Brown.

A few years later, the British Concession in Tianjin moved in with a collector named George Brown from England. Because George Brown only said that his name was George and did not mention his surname when he was studying under Wen Ru at that time, and the name George was too common in the UK, Yan Zhiyi did not think about it at all.

It wasn't until a few years later that by chance, Yan Zhiyi saw a bronze winelord restored by George Brown, and the technique was clearly in the three bronze articles of the master's "Thirteen Chapters of Supplements".

The technique of "Vientiane Moment". Later, Yan Zhi wanted to see George Brown several times, but George Brown refused.

It is said that a few years ago, George Brown had an accident and was seriously injured, and since then he has not restored antiquities ever since, and lives in the Red Fort in the British Concession.

It wasn't until half a month ago that George Brown wanted to hold a small exhibition and invited several famous experts in Tianjin's antiquities appreciation circle that Yan Zhiyi had the opportunity to come to the Red Fort.

Before the Japanese Morishhiro rolled down the stairs, the servants of the Red Fort, under the arrangement of the housekeeper, had already placed the exhibits on the booth.

Yan Zhiyi once secretly opened the velvet cloth covering the exhibits and saw the restored white porcelain statue of Lu Zu.

Although Yan Zhiyi did not learn the craftsmanship of the master Wen Yanru, he could recognize that the restoration technique of this white porcelain Lu Zu statue was the three articles of porcelain restoration in the "Thirteen Chapters of Supplementation".

The technique of "Bai Bi Ling Yan", which is a technique dedicated to the restoration of white porcelain and blue and white porcelain. It is made with a secret adhesive, mixed with shell powder, white jade powder and white porcelain powder, and glued to the white porcelain statue, and then covered the whole body of the porcelain with ice and snow, and then scalded and repaired again with a special flame that can be burned on ice in the Tang Dynasty from the West, and finally polished with the finest jade sand and leather mounds to see no traces.

Yan Zhiyi decided that George Brown was his junior brother, so he sneaked upstairs alone when the Japanese Morisharashi rolled down the stairs and Bai Chongwei and Han Daring walked down the stairs.

But it was his first time in the Red Keep, and he was completely unfamiliar with the path, and after going upstairs, he turned to the corridor on the right, which was the direction in which the knight's armor was placed, and he was pushing the door in the corridor to find the path, when suddenly there was a scream from the room at the end of the corridor on the left, which was hoarse and low.

Yan Zhiyi wanted to go over and have a look, but the housekeeper Lao Cai took Zhao Jingsheng, Han Daring and others and quickly ran up to the second floor.

In a hurry, Yan Zhi was able to hide behind the display case by the wall, but fortunately, everyone's attention was on George Brown's room at that time, so no one paid attention to the corridor on the right.

He hid for a while, and when he saw that they had all entered the room at the end of the corridor, he followed them and entered the room.

The rest of the story is the same as everyone sees. It's just that Yan Zhiyi was at the end of the crowd, and when he entered the reception room on the second floor of George Brown, he felt that there seemed to be a person behind him, but when he entered the study, there was no one behind him, Yan Zhiyi just caught a glimpse of it, he thought that there were too many displays and oil paintings on the second floor, and he was dazzled, it was just an illusion, so he didn't care too much.

Now that I think about it, the figure behind me was very sneaky and suspicious. Han Daring thought to himself, the Western knight's armor was very heavy, and if he wanted to move away and hide during that time, he should be a strong person, and that person might be at the back of the line of everyone on the second floor.

As soon as Yan Zhi heard the shouting, he hid in the corner of the second floor, and followed everyone upstairs into George Brown's room, he could only choose the end of the line to follow, and it was impossible for him to suddenly insert himself in the middle of the crowd to arouse suspicion.

Since he felt that there was someone behind him, it meant that that person was deliberately opening up a gap with the person in front of him, which made Yan Zhiyi think that it was the tail of the team and followed up.

Han Daring recalled that the Western armor on display was indeed genuine, and he had beaten it with his hand at that time, and even the breastplate under the burqa was indeed metal.

Not to mention the armor in the basement, even if there are really two identical armors, who is the person who can easily move the armor in the corridor?

In addition to himself, the only person who was present at the time was Zhao Jingsheng's bodyguard Chen Jiu, but Chen Jiu had always been by Zhao Jingsheng's side and never left an inch.

Han Daring thought about the small bronze mirror that was lost in George Brown's study after the incident, so he asked Yan Zhiyi: "Mr. Yan, when you entered George Brown's room together, did you find the "Thirteen Supplements" in it?" Yan Zhiyi shook his head and said:

"Nope! I followed everyone to just look around, and I didn't find the handscroll, and besides, such a precious thing must not be left on the table at will! Han Da'er said again: "Then you...... Have you ever seen a small bronze mirror on a few cases against the wall? Yan Zhi suddenly consciously asked, "What little bronze mirror?" He was looking at Han Da'er's eyes again, obviously there was a little doubt in those eyes, he suddenly understood something, and said angrily: "Who do you think of me?" Are rats stealing dogs? I just want to get my hand roll back! Han Daring said: "I'm just asking casually, Mr. Yan, don't be surprised!" Han Da'er looked at his subconscious rhetorical question just now, and his reaction afterwards, and knew that the little bronze mirror should not have been his way.

Among the guests who went upstairs at that time, the people who had the opportunity to walk the bronze mirror, including themselves, were all suspicious, and it was really difficult to find them for a while.

Martin seemed to be carefully considering Yan Zhiyi's words, and he looked at Yan Zhiyi and Zhang Xi's master and apprentice for a while to see if it was possible to move the knight's armor in size and strength.

Because even if they are not the real murderers, they may be accomplices, but after observing the two of them for a while, Martin shook his head secretly, after all, in the basement, Martin tried it, it was very heavy, and not everyone could easily move it.

With the appearance of the old and young scholar in front of him, the two of them may not be able to make a sound and quietly hide their armor.

Han Daring originally wanted to tell Martin everything he had seen and heard after he came to the Red Fort, which might help the romance deduction, but when Martin saw Han Daring coming over, he just raised his hand and asked him to wait for a while.

Martin seemed to be thinking about something, not knowing whether he was thinking about the clues provided by Yan Zhiyi or considering the truth of what he said.

After a long time, Martin said, "Jack, you take Mr. Yan and Mr. Zhang to the lounge to rest first!" Mills, go and get the Countess of Bourbon for questioning! The tall and thin policeman named Jack had a very polite attitude, but his expression was very majestic, and he didn't say a word, but the leader Yan Zhiyi and Zhang Xi left the interrogation room, Zhang Xi was very timid, and was surrounded by the tall and thin British policeman in front of him

"Hold", his legs were a little weak, he didn't dare to look at the majestic British policeman Martin anymore, he could only look back at Han Daring step by step, and his eyes seemed to say, please believe us!

Han Daring nodded slightly to Zhang Xi, signaling to reassure him, Zhang Xi accompanied Yan Zhiyi and was led back to the lounge by the policeman.

Another policeman named Mills, who went out to ask Mrs. Bo, walked out of the interrogation room less than thirty seconds before he immediately turned back again, and as soon as he came back, he said anxiously to Martin: "Boss! The black locust in the courtyard is on fire! As soon as these words came out, Martin immediately turned around and looked out the window, only to see Han Da'er, Bai Chongwei, Lao Cai, and Jean Pierre all standing in front of the window, looking out of the window in surprise!

At this time, the huge black locust in the courtyard in the distance was burning with raging flames!
