The ace all-rounder is on fire

Chapter 83 A Little Impression
Lin Shen rushed to the parking lot of the museum, and Director Dai was already waiting for him in the lobby.

"Hello, Uncle Dai!" Lin Shen stepped forward to greet Director Dai.

Director Dai is very enthusiastic. As a cultural relic protection worker, he is heartbroken over the unsolved case of the theft of cultural relics from King Kang’s tomb and the loss of national treasures. Now that the country has restarted the investigation of the A·103 case, it is exciting news for him, and it is also great news. encouragement.

When Lin Shen called, he had already arranged the relevant preparations. He knew the importance and confidentiality of this matter, so he put down his work and received it in person. He also notified two special cultural relics custodians to be there to cooperate.

The Palace Museum has a lot of visitors every day. In order not to attract the attention of others, Dean Dai took Lin Shen to a special studio and made relevant registrations.

In order to save time, Dean Dai had asked people to bring the fake vases stored in the Palace Museum to the scene and put them on the operation tray covered with red velvet cloth.

The staff stayed outside, and Lin Shen took out the fragment of the vase he brought and put it on another operating panel.

Both Lin Shen and Dean Dai put on work gloves, and carefully compared and identified two porcelain bottles of the same style that had different origins.

After a series of comparisons and appraisals on the lip, jade bottle bottom, glaze color difference, texture, tire quality, cracking, craftsmanship traces, unearthed traces, listening to the sound, etc., the two looked at each other speechlessly, with complicated eyes, and remained silent for a long time... …

Dai Hongqiao put down the magnifying glass in his hand, and sighed heavily, "I have worked in the identification and protection of cultural relics for most of my life. This vase was identified as a fake after the exposure of the A·103 case, and it was the first time to review the collection. The appraiser is me. I gave the conclusion of the authenticity on the appraisal conclusion book and signed it. As a result, because the collection itself was cracked, a piece of glazed porcelain on the surface was not properly preserved and partially fell off. Only then did the experts who later appraised see it. There were clues, and I suspected it was a fake. At that time, I was young and vigorous, and I was very dissatisfied, but after the conclusion of the third appraisal came out, I was slapped in the face on the spot."

Lin Shen nodded, "The half-authentic and half-fake vase I brought is in exactly the same condition, and it was only identified after it was accidentally broken. It can only be said that the ancient porcelain counterfeiters are too sophisticated and crafty. Realistic, with new porcelain and ancient bottom, the light is faded, the glaze is moistened, and the gloss and gloss are combined into one, there is no flaw in the appearance, and it is completely possible to confuse the fake with the real."

Dai Hongqiao looked a little sad and indignant, "It was because of this cultural relic that I was punished for the first time in my life. But I don't think I was wronged. In the hands of others, no matter how angry and hated I am, I have nothing to say. Later I thought, if this person is willing to enter the righteous way, the future is limitless. Will he become a master of the generation? I don’t know. But everyone’s life choices are different, pity……"

Lin looked at the gray-haired old dean with deep sympathy, "The counterfeiter pursues high returns. In his eyes, talents, skills, wisdom, and courage are all subdued for profit, and they are all reduced to tools served by money in the end. Money is stained with blood and crime, and you don't have to feel sorry for that kind of person."

"You're right, there is no righteous way in the eyes of this kind of person. Back then, when something happened, the first person who comforted me was your grandfather. I didn't expect that after so many years, you took over the burden on Mr. Lin's shoulders."

"It's my duty. Grandpa has a spirit in heaven. I must give him an explanation."

"Two vases, one-half above one is genuine, and one-third below one is genuine. If the two vases are put together, they still cannot be repaired to form a complete genuine one."

"Deliberately turning a broken piece into two independent fakes is for the sole purpose of profit. Uncle Dai, I want to know, in your field of knowledge, have you heard or seen such a skilled person in restoring porcelain?" craftsman?"

Dean Dai thought for a long time, "There are many masters who repair complete porcelain, but I have never seen one who can reach such a state. However, I have heard of it."

Next, Dean Dai's words left a deep impression on Lin Shen.

"About [-] years ago, I went abroad with a delegation for exchange visits. I happened to see a video in [Shosoin] in Dongying. A craftsman repaired porcelain for the royal family with a gold wire saw that was thinner than a hair. It is cut along the glaze cracks and spliced ​​together perfectly, and the technique is extremely delicate."

"The video was only a few minutes long, and I didn't even see the man's face, only his hands, but I heard that the skillful porcelain craftsman is called Takato Yunao, and he is a master figure in Japanese collectors. He It can be regarded as the one with the highest porcelain repairing skills that I have heard so far, and it is difficult to find a second one who can match him."

"How old is that Takato Yunao?"

Starting from the facts of the case, Lin Shen has his own pertinence in looking at the problem, and his thinking is different from that of Dean Dai Hongqiao, who has a technical background.

Dean Dai pondered for a while: "If he is still alive... I'm afraid he should be over ninety years old." After finishing speaking, he asked back: "Don't you doubt him? He is not Chinese, and he smuggled with the tomb of King Kang. The case should have nothing to do with it, right? He is a foreign technical expert who is far away across the ocean, and he can come to our country to rob and dig ancient tombs?"

Dean Dai waved his hands again and again, "Impossible, impossible."

Dean Dai's words failed to dispel the doubts in Lin Shen's heart. Lin Shen thoughtfully, smiled, "I'm just curious, so I asked casually."

The appraisal work came to an end, Dai Hongqiao let the staff come in, both parties signed, and the staff took away the porcelain on the spot.

Dean Dai invited Lin Shen to sit in his office and drink tea.

Taking the opportunity of drinking tea, Lin Shen took out the photo: "Uncle Dai, I have an old photo here and I want you to take a look at it for me. Do you have any impression of the person on it?"

Dai Hongqiao put down his teacup, took the photo handed over by Lin Shen, pushed his reading glasses and squinted his eyes carefully for a while, "This was taken by your grandfather in the pottery repair studio of the Palace Museum...in 1982...at that time I I'm only in my twenties, and I'm still a cultural relics custodian who just joined the job, let me think about it..."

Dean Dai thought for a while, "The person who was in charge of taking pictures in the museum in the past eight years or so was Lao Mo, but Lao Mo has passed away for many years..."

"Have you ever seen the woman in the picture?"

Dean Dai frowned, "I seem to have a little impression, but I can't tell clearly after a long time. I remember that your grandfather was injured during the archaeological excavation work. He was bored at home and occasionally came to the museum to find something. Do help out. Because your grandfather is usually a lonely person, it happened that a girl in her twenties accompanied your grandfather that time, so it left a certain impression on me. The girl is quite beautiful, it seems to be a photo I met this woman, and she spoke shyly. I can't remember what it was called."

"Her name is Zhou Jie."
