Chapter 64

20%……

This figure shows that LV Li may know some clues, but not all of them.

However, this makes sense. If he really knew all the secrets of the painting, he would have sold it at the auction house before, and he would not have the chance to find it later.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen asked, "Mr. Lu, can you tell me the origin of this painting first?"

"Brother Lin, what's the origin of a fake painting?" Fang Han said strangely.

Su Ning Yu clapped him on the head: "don't interrupt, let others talk about it first."

Although Su Ningyu can be 100% sure that the painting must be a fake, and it can never be the real girl with pearl earrings, since Lin Chen asked, she felt that there must be his intention.

Four people sat on the sofa, and the picture "the girl with Pearl Earrings" was placed in front of LV Li.

Staring at the painting, he recalled, "Lin Sheng, I've been to many auctions and galleries for experts to appreciate it, but no one is willing to listen to me patiently. You're still the first one."

"I'm afraid it's really our destiny to meet you."

With a sigh, LV Li began to go straight to the theme: "to tell you the truth, this painting was actually given to me by my master before he died. My master is a ghost. When I first met him, he was painting portraits under the overpass. "

"My master's identity is very mysterious. He never told me his name, but he has a painting skill far beyond ordinary people. The most powerful thing is that no one can see through his fake paintings. When he was still alive, although he would paint under the overpass every day, he would stay in a star hotel at night. The money for staying in the hotel is all from his fake paintings. "

"I studied with him for ten years, then he had an accident and gave me this painting just before he died."

"I still remember that when my master died, he told me that if I need money in the future, I can take this painting out and sell it. He also told me that this painting is so valuable that I can't sell it cheaply."

When Fang Han heard this, he couldn't hold back and said, "was he confused before he died? How can a fake painting be so valuable? "

Lu Li nodded: "I have thought about that. The girl with pearl earrings is very close to Vermeer's true work, but the real girl with pearl earrings has a clear whereabouts. No matter how good the painting is, it can only be a fake. "

"Although counterfeits are valuable, they can't be priceless. I went to a lot of people and they told me that this painting is worth only a few million at most."

Millions?

impossible. Lin Chen shook his head in his heart. He just roughly calculated that the value of this painting is at least more than 100 million. How can it be worth only a few million.

However, Lin Chen did not ask, but continued to look at LV Li, because his words did not seem to finish.

"In fact, I have guessed the value of this painting in my mind, but I'm not sure, because if I think wrong, I will destroy the relic left by my master, and I can't afford the loss."

Lin Chen asked, "what's your guess?"

"It's about my master." Lu Li explained: "although my master never told me his name. But his skill is so superb that it is impossible to be anonymous, so I have tried him several times. Later, I found out that my master may be Dutch, and he should be in his 70s, and he has excellent means of counterfeiting. These clues finally point me to a name: Han van migren... "

"No way!"

As soon as LV Li's voice fell, Su Ning Yu suddenly stood up.

Lin Chen sees her reaction so huge, can't help but wonder: "Ning Yu, what's the matter with you?"

Su Ningyu looked at LV Li and said, "Han Fan migren is a world-class master of forgery, but he died in 1947. How can he be your master?"

After su Ningyu's explanation, Lin Chen knew that Han Fan migren was the top master of legendary forgery in the history of oil painting in the world.

His life is like a Hollywood suspense movie.

The forgery master is famous for his forgery of oil paintings. During World War II, in order to protect the national treasure of the Netherlands, master Johannes Vermeer forged a large number of Vermeer's paintings, and then sold them to the Germans as authentic works, including sittler.

Because his paintings were too realistic, after World War II, the Dutch authorities thought that he really sold his national treasure to the enemy, so they charged him with treason. It was only later that the Patriot was vindicated.

Lu Li looked at Su Ningyu and explained: "Miss Su, Han Fan migren died in 1947. He really can't be my master, but Han Fan migren has a little son, Xiao migren. He also inherited migren's talent."

"Little Millan? But he is not missing... Do you mean your master is him? " Su Ning Yu was surprised.

"It should be..." Lu Li nodded and said, "only in this way can we explain why my master is not only good at painting, but also good at counterfeiting."

Lin Chen hears this, calculate immediately.

The probability that LV Li's master is xiaomigren is

100%！

Lin Chen sighed in his heart. I didn't expect that a young man he ran into on the road would have a relationship with a legendary forgery master.

He sat up straight and asked, "Lu Li, suppose your master is really xiaomigren. What does that have to do with this painting?"

Lu Li has a dignified face, because the next words will be the most important part of this conversation.

"If my master is really xiaomigren, then the origin of this painting is worth considering. To tell you the truth, my master always took this painting with him before his accident. Even in a car accident, he threw it out before the car hit him. If it was just an ordinary fake, he would not have attached so much importance to this painting. "

"The oil painting master Vermeer has painted only 45 works in his life, but only 35 have been handed down. There is a very important reason, that is, master migran made a lot of forgeries of Vermeer's paintings in those years. As a result, many authentic works were regarded as forgeries. The girl with pearl earrings had been regarded as an imitation before, but later it was identified as Vermeer's authentic works. "

"After my master died, I wondered if there were only 35 paintings left by Vermeer? If it was migran who had been in touch with Vermeer's original works, would he have the remaining ten works in his hands? If so, then... "
