Chapter 701

Although the curator is introducing the specific situation of the museum, no one wants to listen to this. He Yanwei's face is dignified, and his heart must be also heavy. I don't know what he is thinking.

At this time, Chen Hui's eyes are on the safes used to preserve cultural relics, especially the ones that are displayed separately in other museums. Moreover, Chen Hui's eyes hit the empty one in the middle!

There is no doubt that Chen Hui's focus is on what cultural relics he has lost.

Liu Jie is also observing these safes for preserving cultural relics. However, she only pays attention to these safes because she is looking at the nearest one.

In fact, many of the cultural relics on display in the museum are not real, but imitations.

Those transparent covers are only made of acrylic materials. As long as the cultural relics on display are made of acrylic, they are imitations and will never be genuine, because the acrylic material is not solid.

Although the Nanjiang museum is very small, the transparent cover like the exhibition cabinet here is not made of acrylic. The transparency is very good, and the thickness is also very good. It can be imagined that the firmness is absolutely enough.

"Curator, what's in it is all genuine?" Liu Jie pointed to more than ten or nearly twenty of these display cabinets and asked, "since they are not open to the outside world, why do they need these safes?"

"Although it's not open to the outside world, leaders from higher levels will come here occasionally." The curator explained: "there is nothing to see about other ordinary cultural relics. These 17 cultural relics are of great historical value, so they will be placed in this kind of safe for the superior leaders or other museum comrades to visit and study. They will naturally be authentic."

Chen Hui said at this time: "curator, the stolen tripod in the middle is the most important cultural relic in our museum?"

"It's not the most important thing, but the tripod is a little controversial." With these words, the curator went to one side, opened the filing cabinet, took out a folder from it, opened it, took out a few photos, handed them to Chen Hui, and said, "it's the tripod!"

After Chen Hui took the photo and looked at it, he handed it to he Yanwei.

At this time, it's not the time to take a close look. You just need to know the general appearance.

Besides, there are several photos taken from different angles. The tripod has a clear view.

The reason why it is called tripod is that it has three legs. However, Chen Hui thinks that it is more appropriate to add the word bronze in front of it. This tripod is bronze!

To be exact, this is a bronze round tripod with a diameter of about 20 cm and a height of about 30 cm. It has ears on both sides. It should be used as a handle. In addition, it has a cover with a round hole on it. The cover has no handle, but a round hole in the middle. I don't know what it is used for.

The bronze tripod, without any words, has many ornamentations, and its shape is very simple.

After he Yanwei saw the picture of tripod, he handed it to Liu Jie. After Liu Jie saw it, he gave it back to the curator.

"When was the tripod made?" Chen Hui asked at this time.

The curator sighed and said, "it's really hard to answer. This tripod was picked up by a sheep farmer during the last Curator's term of office and handed over to our museum. So far, there is no detailed chronological conclusion about this tripod. This is the point of controversy."

"What's the matter?" Chen Hui asked.

"In order to determine the value of each bronze ware, we must first determine its age and cultural nature." The curator sighed and said, "some bronzes can be dated absolutely according to their inscriptions. Generally, they should be dated or divided, or they can be said to be relative.

The cultural nature generally refers to the bronzes of Central Plains, Bashu and Dian cultures.

Then, it makes an in-depth study of its shape, decoration, inscriptions and casting technology, compares it with the known ancient bronzes and their research results, and judges its status in the development history of ancient bronzes, ancient philology, art history and casting history, as well as its significance in the study of ancient Chinese history, so as to determine its value. "

After a pause, the curator continued: "however, there are no words on the tripod, and there is no contrast between the patterns on the tripod. To put it more simply, there is no similar tripod so far. The last curator studied the bronze tripod and consulted other experts, In the end, there are many different opinions. In the end, there is no convincing argument, so it is impossible to convince the public! "

"Later, this affair gradually lost its heat, and this tripod has been kept in our museum." The curator said: "it is precisely because this bronze tripod can not be dated, so when other museum comrades come to visit and study, they will often observe it and put it in the middle."

Chen Hui suddenly realized, nodded and said, "that's what happened!"

"However, the bronze age was later than the age of bronze and stone, earlier than the age of iron. The world-wide chronology ranges from 4000 BC to the early years of the year A.D., and the world has entered this era sooner or later." The curator said: "there are many different opinions about the beginning time of the Bronze Age in China. In short, it is generally accepted that the upper limit of the Bronze Age in China is about 2000 BC. In other words, as long as it is bronze, it has a history of more than 1000 years, and its historical and cultural value is always there, The controversial point is only the approximate age of this tripod. This tripod is still the most important cultural relic in our museum! "

At this time, he Yanwei's phone rang. After he saw the call, he went to one side and connected the phone.

After listening to the phone call, he hung up and came back, saying, "the fingerprints and footprints collected at the scene are only those of the museum staff, and there are no other fingerprints and footprints!"

"Ah?" Hearing he Yanwei's words, the curator looked unbelievable.

"Curator, you don't have to be surprised." Liu Jie said at this time: "through the network problem, found that the interference device, has been able to explain the problem."

Both he Yanwei and Chen Hui understand what Liu Jie means, but the curator does not.

Liu Jie saw the director's questioning face and explained: "the engineer of the telecommunication company has said that he has never seen the jamming equipment. It is definitely a high-tech product. In other words, this theft is a high-tech crime. There is no trace at the scene. It's not something that can't be understood."

He Yanwei and Chen Hui nodded to the curator at the same time, and the curator understood.

"What do you think, Xiao Liu?" He Yanwei pondered for a while, looked at Liu Jie and asked this question.

In fact, after Liu Jie came up to the second floor, she had been observing these safes similar to Exhibition cabinets. Hearing what he Yanwei said, Liu Jie said, "no fingerprints can be understood, but no footprints can be different. What's the situation? Look at the ground!"

Hearing Liu Jie's words, he Yanwei looked down at the floor under his feet. Because this building is a product of the last era, the floor is cement floor, not the current tile or marble floor.

"No matter how to clean this kind of cement floor, it can't be so clean." Liu Jie explained: "if you can extract the footprints of the curator, you should be able to extract the footprints of other people. Even if the visitors wear shoe covers, there are always some traces left. However, no footprints were extracted at the scene, and no footprints were damaged. This situation shows that something is wrong. Since the tripod was stolen, someone must have come in without footprints, There is no sign of the shoe print being damaged. It only shows that the person who came in didn't step on the ground! "
