Chapter 247

Hu Yuan's words surprised everyone. He could not help looking at Zhao Yiping one after another. Did Zhao Yiping really conspire with Mr. Cao to defraud the Museum of money?

Just now, Zhao Yiping was still thinking about how to explain the Guanyin statue to the curator. He didn't expect that Hu Yuan would suddenly be in trouble. When he responded, Mr. Cao had already said what he had just said. This let him secretly scold a fool, at the same time, in the heart is a flustered, urgent way, this can what to do!

When Hu Yuan yelled at him and others looked at him in surprise, Zhao Yiping was in a panic. His hands and feet suddenly became weak, and he almost sat on the ground. After he settled down, he didn't think much about it, so he yelled at Hu Yuan:

"no, no! I didn't identify him yesterday! This police officer, yesterday he was drunk in a mess, what he said now is all his imagination! You can't take it seriously

Hearing this, Mr. Cao quickly said, "yes, yes! I was drunk yesterday. I didn't remember some things clearly. I was talking nonsense just now. Ah! I remember that I was identified with Zhao Yiping the night before yesterday. I got drunk and made a mistake! "

Looking at Zhao Yiping and Mr. Cao's "one singing and one harmonizing", Hu Yuan almost laughed. It's not just a team mate like a pig. Zhao Yiping himself is a pig. Just now, he clearly said that there is a camera in the hotel. Can't you tell if he is drunk or not?

So he said with a smile, "isn't that right? So when I saw you go out yesterday, you were talking happily? Don't forget, as I said just now, there are cameras in the hotel. "

Hearing Hu Yuan say so, Zhao Yiping and Mr. Cao can't help but be silly. For a moment, they don't know what to do. At this point, we don't know that there must be something wrong with these two people.

At this time, director Wang, who accompanied Chu Chen and others, controlled Zhao Yiping's speed and, with the help of Hu Yuan and others, escorted him and Mr. Cao to the security room of the museum temporarily. When the support arrived, they were transferred to the police station

Looking at Zhao Yiping, who was taken away by director Wang, while shouting injustice, there was silence in the collection department.

In particular, Professor Qin, the museum staff like them all showed a look of shock. They didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen around them, especially Zhao Yiping, an old employee who has been working in the museum for seven years. It really made them feel incredible.

Chuchen coughed and asked Professor Qin, "Professor Qin, I don't know how long Zhao Yiping has been working here?"

Professor Qin said sadly: "he has been working here for seven years, and he is also an old man in our museum. I didn't expect that he would do such a thing!" At the end, he could not help sighing.

"Since he has been here for so long, should he check the things he has handled before?"

Hearing what Chu Chen said, Professor Qin and others immediately responded, so they immediately ordered the staff to inform the curator of the matter and sort out the list of cultural relics handled by Zhao Yiping.

When such a big event happened, how could the curator still live? Before long, an old man in his sixties rushed to the collection department.

As soon as the old man came in, he directly asked Sun Jing, "Mr. Sun, what's the matter with Zhao Yiping?"

Mr. Sun told the old man the details and said with a bitter smile, "who would know that Zhao Yiping is such a person. Fortunately, curator, you made a rule two days ago, and Mr. Chu and his companions helped. Otherwise, he would have succeeded this time."

After listening to the causes and consequences, the old man said angrily: "this Zhao Yiping is really not a thing. Thanks to him, he is still an old man in the museum, and I don't treat him badly. He clearly knows that our museum's funds are not rich enough, and he even makes such a heartless thing. It's really worse than pigs and dogs!"

While the old man was angry, he constantly blamed himself for his poor management, so that Zhao Yiping took advantage of this kind of loophole. In terms of responsibility, he must be responsible for it. Now he only hopes that this is Zhao Yiping's first crime, otherwise he will have to take the blame and resign.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chu didn't notice," he said

"Curator, this is Chu Chen, an expert from Beijing." Professor Qin quickly went forward to introduce the two sides.

When the old man saw that Chu Chen was so young and a disciple of Liu, he was surprised. At the same time, he shook hands with Chu Chen warmly and said, "Mr. Chu, thank you very much this time, otherwise our museum will suffer a heavy loss."

It's reasonable for the old man to say that. After all, it's Zhang Shoushan's work, which has a great reputation. It's also a rare green glaze work. Even if the price given by the museum is less than the auction price, it will cost hundreds of thousands at least.

If Zhao Yiping succeeds, it will be a great loss for the museum, which is not well funded.

Chu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile, "curator Gao, you're welcome. I just did what I could do. Moreover, you also issued new regulations before. Even if I don't come, Zhao Yiping won't succeed.""Mr. Chu, you are too modest. Without you, even if we knew it was a fake, we would not suspect that Zhao Yiping would do such a thing."

At this point, Gao Guan sighed: "well, the key is that our management is not in place, otherwise he would not get into such a hole."

Chuchen smiles and doesn't say much about it. After all, it's someone else's business, and it's hard for him to express his opinion in front of his master.

After a while, the staff sorted out the list of cultural relics handled by Zhao Yiping and handed it to curator Gao.

Curator Gao looked at it carefully, then looked at the time and said, "it's just about noon. Let's check these things at this time. Mr. Chu, I don't know if you can do me a favor and help us check it later? "

Of course, Chu Chen would not object to this request to increase his own experience, and happily agreed.

Over the past seven years, Zhao Yiping has handled a large number of cultural relics. However, after re inspection, none of the cultural relics bought by him before this year have any problems.

This makes curator Gao and others very happy. They all guess that it may be Zhao Yiping's first crime today.

However, Chu Chen didn't think so. He learned from Professor Qin that Zhao Yiping was good at identifying porcelain. In that case, why did he come up with such a low-level imitation?

Chu Chen estimated that this should be because Zhao Yiping had successfully done several cases before, and had a relaxed mood. So when he saw that the statue of Guanyin was not bad, he would only look at it hastily and finish it.

Moreover, Chu Chen thinks of Zhao Yiping's strange look when he heard that two people had to sign for the acquisition, and he doesn't believe that he will commit the crime for the first time.

Sure enough, after a while, a plain three color dark engraved dragon flower butterfly bowl marked during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty came into Chu Chen's sight.

The bowl has a thin mouth and a moist high-temperature white glaze inside. On the outer wall of the bowl, the dragon pattern of chasing pearls was first carved on the porcelain body, then the pattern of flowers and butterflies was painted in plain three colors, and finally the low-temperature white glaze was applied on the color and fired in the low-temperature kiln. It is a high-grade classic variety of Kangxi official kiln.

Normally, the bowl looks good, the painting is exquisite, and the picture looks natural and vivid. Most people think it's a genuine one. However, Chu Chen's baojue didn't respond to such a real bowl, and the result was self-evident.

So Chu Chen picked up the bowl, carefully observed it, and immediately saw two problems.

Chu Chen put the bowl in place again, and then called curator Gao over to them and said, "curator Gao, look at this bowl."

When he heard that it was the bowl, he was relieved and said, "Mr. Chu, I know this bowl was controversial after Zhao Yiping took it. Later, we conducted a special scientific appraisal to prove that it is a genuine one."

After listening to what curator Gao said, Chu Chen said with a smile: "curator Gao, sometimes scientific identification is not omnipotent. I think this bowl should be made from the old bottom, and the glaze used is also extracted from the previous waste porcelain. In this case, scientific identification can not identify the authenticity at all."

There are two methods commonly used in scientific identification of antiques, namely "thermoluminescence dating technology" and "element analysis method".

In these two methods, the error of the thermoluminescence dating technology is generally less than 50 years. However, in addition to borehole sampling, it has one of the biggest shortcomings. The ability of Thermoluminescence to counter detection is relatively poor. If the tested ceramics are exposed to sunlight or X-ray for a long time, the detection results will be greatly affected.

There was another joke before that. The customs of a certain country seized several smuggled cultural relics, which looked like the Tang Sancai of our country, so they carried out Thermoluminescence detection, and the results showed that the ages of the three pieces were 500, 1000 and 3000 years respectively.

So he went through the customs officials to report to the higher authorities that three pieces were cultural relics, one was the tricolor of Qing Dynasty, one was the tricolor of Song Dynasty, and one was the tricolor of Shang Dynasty! As a matter of fact, in the 1990s, the peasants of our country burned the three things in the local methods on the self retaining mountain, and then irradiated them with X-rays, because the irradiation time was not well controlled.

The other element analysis method considers that modern antique porcelain imitates some characteristics of ancient porcelain, and some modern chemical preparations containing some trace elements are added to the formula of fetal glaze, and these trace elements do not exist or contain very little in the authentic ancient porcelain.
