Xu Zheng told what happened again, and Professor Zhao pondered for a long time, "Officer An, Xiao Zheng, I will tell you the truth. Based on my experience, I dare not give the true or false result of this painting. From the painting techniques, rice paper materials,

The ink used, the inscription by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and the collection marks of famous masters from past dynasties all prove that this painting is authentic.

But you all know that it is generally impossible for the Boston Museum to lose this painting, and there is still a difference between this painting and the beautiful one. Look at the black ink that is rendered in several places on this painting, and there are several damaged areas.

, are all different from the original.

However, these differences are not enough to prove that this painting is fake, because such differences may also be man-made by later generations."

Xu Zheng was dumbfounded. Is this true or false? Before Xu Zheng could speak, Professor Zhao said to himself: "There is another possibility, that is, both paintings are real."

Seeing that Xu Zheng and the others were all confused, Professor Zhao explained that it turned out that ancient rice paper was very thick. When making paper, it was made by laying raw materials layer by layer. Therefore, top masters could start from a pair of rice paper.

Three ancient paintings were uncovered.

Because they are uncovered paintings, these three paintings are all authentic. Then, under the operation of masters of fakery and forgery, the uncovered paintings were then color-rendered and transplanted onto new rice paper, and this new rice paper

It must be of the same age and material as the original painting, which means it must also be rice paper with a history of more than 900 years.

Professor Zhao judged that the painting had black ink in several places and some small holes, which must have been the mistakes made by the expert at that time who did not master the craftsmanship. Moreover, looking at these damages, the painting should have been uncovered.

The lower layer, because the color is a bit bland and the painting has a sour smell, is the smell of a special surface-mounting fluid.

"Then, Grandpa Zhao, do you mean that this can be considered an authentic work?" Xu Zheng said excitedly. He was happy because 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 Lao Liu, to be honest, even if this painting belonged to him, he probably wouldn’t be able to keep it, because it’s so valuable, how dare you keep it at home?

You have to pay a lot of money to the bank every year.

As for buying and selling, it is estimated that this situation may not necessarily be allowed because it involves diplomacy.

Of course, if there is another reason for the origin of this face, then it would have to be explained separately.

"I'm saying this based on my experience, but you have to know that after leaving this door, Grandpa Zhao doesn't dare to make a guarantee for the sake of his reputation. Therefore, I suggest that we organize experts to come together for appraisal and do some testing at the same time.

Scientific identification and two comparisons are enough to prove the authenticity of this painting."

Xu Zheng and Anru understood some of the rules in the antique business. It doesn't matter if you say a painting is genuine only if it is recognized by everyone.

Since it needs to be re-identified, the painting was placed in the police station first. As for Lao Liu, he can go home, but he cannot leave Changming City in the past few days. Xu Zheng patted Lao Liu on the shoulder and said, "After you go back,

Try to find evidence of the ancient paintings passed down by your family. If the painting is authentic, you will have to prove your innocence. Don't worry, as long as you can prove that the painting belongs to your family, no one will take it from you.

"

If this painting is identified as a revealing painting, then it is an authentic work and a stolen cultural relic. This is a large piece of eucalyptus worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions. Therefore, if Lao Liu cannot prove that his family obtained it through normal means, then he

He must be suspected of being connected to the person who stole this painting.

Of course, we can only take a step at a time to see what the details will be.

As Anru reported the matter to Wang Nianpan, Wang Nianpan heard that it was the appraisal of the former director of the Changming City Museum, and that 80% was true, so he did not dare to be careless and reported it directly to the branch.

After making the call, the branch office did not dare to hesitate. The main reason is that this painting is of great value, not only in terms of money, but also because this painting is a work scene of Tang aristocratic women practicing sewing, which has high historical research value.

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 branch and protect it.

As for Zhao Yuanshan, after bidding farewell to Su Tongyun, he immediately contacted calligraphy and painting experts from various regions in Pingjiang Province. He didn't say anything else. He just sent a photo of the painting and his suspicions to WeChat. That's it, Pingjiang Province

Experts from various places rushed to Changming City immediately after receiving the information.

The circle of ancient calligraphy and painting is actually quite small. When word spread, even the dean of the Ziwei Palace Museum personally called. In the end, without saying a word, he immediately came with the museum's calligraphy and painting team.

Just like that, the news leaked out unknowingly. An old man in a thousand-acre manor far away in the beautiful country only saw his white hair. After answering the phone, he was so angry that he smashed the phone into pieces.

With the crystal wine glass in his hand, he spat out a string of English, "Tell Jason to bring back the ancient painting from the Song Dynasty that was lost in the Flower Country 20 years ago."

The police station was very busy at this time, because everyone knew that Xu Zheng's grandma was here. Everyone at home in the station came to say hello to this strong woman. This was not the first time that Su Tongyun came to the station. She would come here every New Year's Eve to be with everyone.

New Year.

When Xu Zheng sent her out alone, he said with an aggrieved look: "Grandma, look, I'm not being pretentious this time. I can't stop this luck."

"Huh, stop acting. I don't know what's going on. Go and do your work. Grandma will take a taxi and go home directly."

At four o'clock in the afternoon, a group of experts crowded into the Yiqiao District Branch. Xu Zheng also received the order, contacted Lao Liu, and took him to the branch to explain the origin and discovery of the ancient paintings.

When Xu Zheng took Lao Liu to the branch's large conference room, it was crowded with people. Many leaders of the branch didn't even have a place to sit. The main reason was that there were too many elders in it. Although they were culturally educated, their levels were after all.

That's right, and you should never underestimate the abilities of these old men and women.

When Xu Zheng was allowed in, he saw Xu Xiuchuan, the deputy director of the branch, and Zhao Yuanshan chatting with an old man with gray hair. Seeing Xu Zheng come in, Xu Xiuchuan quickly introduced the old man, "Dean Bai, that's the person."

This little policeman discovered that the ancient painting was suspicious and insisted on conducting an appraisal, which prevented us from missing a valuable treasure again."

Dean Bai, the director and senior leader of Ziwei Palace Museum, showed no airs to Xu Zheng. After chatting for a few words, he asked Xu Zheng about the process of discovering the ancient paintings and about the owner of the ancient paintings, Wen Renliang.

It turned out that after more than two hours of appraisal by the expert team, a part of the painting was even uncovered at the end of the painting, and the conclusion was given that it was an authentic work, but it must have been a restoration after the painting was uncovered.

Now the only thing left to do is to send it to the Changming City Antique Culture Research Institute tomorrow for the so-called scientific appraisal, so that this ancient painting can be officially declared authentic.

Therefore, for these leaders, the top priority is still the issue of ownership of ancient paintings.

Xu Zheng looked at Xu Xiuchuan and saw the director nodding, "Dear leaders, we carefully asked Wen Renliang about various details about this painting, and the conclusion is that his father Wen Renchangshan got this painting 20 years ago without knowing how.

, and we speculate that someone stole the original painting from the Boston Museum, and obtained the current one by exposing the painting, and the original painting was placed in the museum."

At this time, Dean Bai nodded and agreed with Xu Zheng's guess, but his heart was turned upside down. He was already a senior researcher 20 years ago. At that time, there was a group of "three hands" active in museums in various countries.

He stole valuable treasures from various countries.

The scene in front of me might be their masterpiece, but Dean Bai didn't say it in public. After all, it was a very important matter.
