When Han Daring heard it, it turned out that what Wang Weihan had found was the star map marker that he hadn't gone to look for, and when he saw that he said that his hard work paid off, he thought that he had also found useful clues, or had also found stone shrines, caves, etc., so he asked:

"And what did you find?"

Wang Weihan said with some excitement:

"I found two stones, and they are also engraved with those "fairy pots" I have brought back two stones, and if you study them carefully, you may find something!

Ay! It's just that the location of the other two vaguely marked spots has not yet been found. ”

Han Daring thought that he had found some major clues, but he didn't expect that it was just two stones!

Wang Weihan saw that Han Dada'er didn't seem to be very interested, so he continued:

"Don't look at just two stones, this is a big step forward, the stones are engraved with immortal urns, which at least proves that the ancient artifact star map is real!"

Han Daring thought about it and no longer concealed it, so he said:

"Actually...... I've found two other locations as well, and I just wanted to tell you about it yesterday! ”

Wang Weihan was a little excited, shook Han Da'er's hand and said:

"What? You've found it, where? What do you think? What did you find? ”

Han Daring said:

"I found some reverse cut codes about the star map, and after deciphering them, I found two! There is a cemetery in the east of the river, just behind Heshunli, under an ancient tree, but only some weathered stones have been found, and nothing else has been found! ”

Wang Weihan was a little deflated when he heard Han Da'er's words.

Han Daring paused and said:

"In the other place, at the confluence of the North Canal and the Yongding River, on the ancient river channel, I found a stone shrine there, and there is a cave leading to the ground below!"

"What?"

Wang Weihan was pleasantly surprised, this voice was much higher, and instantly attracted the attention of several people around. He had to cough a few times, and seeing that the people around him were no longer paying attention, he asked again:

"Have you gone down and seen it?"

"I've seen it, the cave is half a day and half artificial, and the end leads to the cave above, but you can't go without tools and climbing tools! So I marked the place and came back first."

Wang Weihan's expression was a little excited, and his excited body trembled a little. He forcibly suppressed his excitement and said:

"That must have something to do with the Endless Kingdom, great, finally found! As soon as the auction is over, I'll get my gear ready and let's go caving together! ”

He thought for a moment and said:

"Did you fill in the cave when you left?"

"Don't worry, my friend has covered it up, and now it looks like a small grave bag!"

"Your friend is there too?" Wang Weihan asked, and then glanced at Mei Ruohong.

Han Daring said:

"It's not her, it's me!"

Wang Weihan frowned slightly, and said with some hesitation:

"You are small, are you reliable? Will he ...... it himself?"

Han Dada'er cut the railway:

"Absolutely not!"

Wang Weihan was excited and said to himself:

"I'm going to have to take a picture of that core in a moment! Then take it with you to go caving! ”

Han Daring's heart is not good, if this Wang Weihan is bent on taking pictures of the mirror core, Ye Ling has never seen the Yellow Robe Ancestor, if Wang Weihan is regarded as the Yellow Robe Ancestor, then it will be a disaster! You have to talk to Ye Ling!

He looked around but didn't see Ye Ling, not even the Abel Bertrand. But I saw the Frenchman who was at the gate earlier, coming this way.

When the Frenchman approached, Wang Weihan instinctively avoided retreating to the side, only to hear the Frenchman introduce himself:

"My name is Burroughs Durand, I am the owner of Durand Auction House, and I am hired by Mr. Bertrand this time to be in charge of the appraisal and auction work of this auction!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took the initiative to shake hands with Han Daring.

When Han Daring heard the name Burroughs Durand, he suddenly remembered that this person was the auction organizer that Bai Chongwei had originally made an appointment with him, but because of the sudden studio explosion, he was injured and delayed the day of meeting.

Before Han Da'er could speak, Burroughs said:

"Mr. Bai came to me before, saying that Mr. Han wanted to meet me before the auction, but I waited for a long time that day, and Mr. Han didn't show up, and I had to prepare for the auction in the next few days, so I didn't have the opportunity to meet until now!"

Han Daring said:

"I'm really sorry, I was injured in a coma in the hospital due to an accident before, so I couldn't come as promised!"

Burroughs Road:

"It turns out that Mr. Han was injured, I have been in China for some time, although I have not been in Tianjin for a long time, but I have also heard the story of your famous detective, and I heard that the case that happened in the Red Fort in the British Concession last year was also solved by you! Presumably, Mr. Han was also injured when he was handling the case this time! ”

Han Da'er said lightly:

"Something happened!"

Burroughs Road:

"I don't know why Mr. Han wants to see me?"

Han Daring said:

"I want to know a little bit about a lot in the auction!"

In fact, what Han Daring originally wanted to know was the origin of the mirror core and the news of the original owner of the lot, because even if ordinary people know the legend of the Yuanqiao Immortal Mirror, they may not know that the palm-sized copper mirror is the core of the Yuanqiao Immortal Mirror.

However, when he saw Ye Ling just now, Han Daring had already deduced everything, and he didn't need to know anything about the owner behind the mirror core. But there was another main reason why he came to the auction this time, that is, because of the "Sleeping Girl", since this was the case, he simply asked Burroughs directly about the owner of this painting.

Burroughs hesitated for a moment and said:

"Actually, our auction house has a rule that the owner of the lot is strictly confidential, because some people may skip the auction house and directly contact the owner and pay a high price to buy the antique in the hands of the holder, thus saving the auction house's fees.

But doing so is very risky, and without the expertise of our auction house, there is a good chance that customers will buy a fake! ”

As he spoke, he introduced a man who had just walked to his side to Han Daring, who was the man who was whispering to Burroughs in the courtyard of the western-style building just now.

Burroughs said:

"This is the auctioneer of our auction house, and also an expert in antique identification, Mr. Xu Lingfeng!"

Han Daring saw that this person was thin, slightly weak, with a straight nose and a straight mouth, although he wore a pair of glasses, he still couldn't block the brightness and sharpness of his eyes. Xu Lingfeng nodded slightly to Han Da'er.

Burroughs Road:

"Don't look at Mr. Xu is very young, he studied under Mr. Wang Bolun, an expert in antiquities, and later went to the West for further study, it can be said that he is an all-rounder in antique identification, whether it is Chinese and foreign antiques, porcelain, jade, wood, calligraphy and painting, or sculpture, oil painting, and even jewelry, the authenticity of the age can not escape Mr. Xu's eyes!"

Han Dada'er always chatted with Lan Banqi, and he always knew that there were indeed some all-rounders who were proficient in all kinds of antiques in the antique world, but in fact, Lan Banqi was mainly talking about himself.

But people like him are only all-rounders in the identification of Chinese antiquities, not between China and the West. He has mentioned Wang Bolun's name, and he also admires this old-timer's ability to appreciate the ancients. However, Wang Bolun is only proficient in the appraisal of Chinese antiques, and is not very good at Western treasures.

There are very few people who can really understand the identification of Chinese antiquities and bypass the identification of Western antiques.

He heard Lan Banqi mention that in the former Qing Dynasty, there was a composer who was a powerful all-rounder in the ancient world, and it is said that the Qu family had special eyes.

There are more than one million colors that can be distinguished in the eyes of ordinary people, but there are less than two million colors, because there are fewer colors that men can distinguish than women, and these colors are mainly composed of red, yellow and blue, and mixed colors.

The Qu family was born with the ability to distinguish nearly three million colors, and even if there were only extremely subtle differences between the colors, which were difficult for ordinary people to perceive with the naked eye, the Qu family could distinguish the differences. Some people even say that the eyes of the Qu family can see things in the dark.

It is by virtue of this innate ability, so after observing the characteristics of the color and pulping of antiquities, you can distinguish the authenticity according to experience, but some of them were originally Ming and Qing artifacts, imitation of the Tang and Song dynasties, not only old-fashioned, but also difficult to distinguish the authenticity of some artifacts themselves.

At this time, there are only some experienced veterans who can distinguish the authenticity from the fake, and it may be difficult for ordinary people in the industry to distinguish between them. However, the Qu family can distinguish the authenticity by distinguishing the color difference of the pulp of the utensils.

It is said that the ability of the Qu family has been lost for seventy or eighty years, and the Qu family is thin, and later they only rely on the reputation of their ancestors to eat, and they do not have that kind of divine ability to appreciate the ancients.

Moreover, the composer has disappeared from the ancient world for almost fifty years, and it is said that the last composer has no descendant. This person's name is Xu Lingfeng, and he seems to be at most thirty years old, so he can't be a descendant of the Qu family.

However, it can be taught by Wang Bolun, and it is estimated that his ability to learn the ancient is indeed not small, just to say that he is an all-rounder who has learned both Chinese and Western, which is probably just an exaggeration by Burroughs.

Xu Lingfeng said at this time:

"It's Mr. Burroughs who praised it, and it all depends on the careful teaching of my teacher, Mr. Wang Bolun, in fact, my main focus is on Chinese porcelain calligraphy and painting, and I only know a little about foreign antique paintings!"

Burroughs smiled:

"Hey! Chinese There is always a bad habit of being overly modest, unlike us Westerners......"

Han Daring said:

"I think you're mistaken, I want to know about the owner of the lot because it may be related to a serial murder!"

At this time, a voice sounded from the side.

"It's not necessarily modest, but it may be the truth!"

This nasty voice, Han Daring knew that it was Lu Zhengxiong as soon as he heard it. He said this to Burroughs!

I saw Lu Zhengxiong holding a wine glass and swaggering over, but Pin Chun grinned and glanced at Burroughs like a blade, and then glanced at Xu Lingfeng with his afterglow, and said:

"Humph! What kind of antique all-rounder, I think it's just rhetoric, and the experts of antiquity may not be blind, not to mention that there are some black-hearted people who will treat fakes as genuine! ”

Han Daring heard that Lu Zhengxiong seemed to mean something else, but saw Burroughs smile and said:

"Mr. Lu! The auction is almost here, so let's go over together! ”

Lu Zhengxiong squinted at Han Daring'er, and then grinned at Mei Ruohong next to Han Da'er. Seeing this, Han Daring immediately stood in front of Mei Ruohong, blocked Mei Ruohong with his body, and stared at Lu Zhengxiong with his eyes like a blade.

Lu Zhengxiong's face darkened, and he glared at Xu Lingfeng on the side again, and then walked out of the banquet hall accompanied by Burroughs.

Xu Lingfeng didn't care about Lu Zhengxiong at all, and there was some disdain on his face.

Han Da'er asked:

"What is this surnamed Lu for, why is Mr. Burroughs so polite to him?"

Xu Lingfeng sighed and said:

"This Lu Zhengxiong is not a good starter, legend has it that he was a tomb robber earlier, and then accumulated a lot of money, so he came to Tianjin Wei to do business, and spent money to make friends with the local youth gang leader, bought a lot of land and real estate in Tianjin Wei, and is now a very rich businessman!

This man is also in the antiques business, and has business dealings with the French Chamber of Commerce and my Durand auction house, but this man is a thorn in the face!

There is a lot in today's auction, a legendary curse - a tantric exquisite gold statue of ghosts and gods, and he is the owner of this lot......"

As soon as he said this, there was a quarrel at the door of the hall, and I saw that Lu Zhengxiong was having a fierce quarrel with a man of medium height and wearing a dark coat!
