Chapter 384 Where to Find the True Cauldron

Yu Yao couldn't help pondering, "This Tripod Maze is so tall!"

"High! It's really high! I guess, according to Mr. Xu Taiyan's plan, he probably wanted to wait for the people of the Wa country to focus on and even get a tripod before sending the real tripod to Jiangzhou. First, two tripods arrived in Jiangzhou. Even if they can touch all of them and take one away, they will definitely think that the remaining one is fake and stop paying attention; then they can replace it with a real tripod!" He Wenguang analyzed.

"It should be like this, but the problem is that it didn't happen after all."

"Here, according to the time, Xu Taiyan arrived in Shanghai soon, and the Japanese began to attack Shanghai. The battle of Songhu began. Xu Taiyan should have left Shanghai and came to Jiangzhou in advance. But even so, I still have some doubts, Xu Taiyan It would be very secretive to leave early, where did the news come from? Soon rumors spread in Jiangzhou that there were three Tai Ding Fang Ding."

Yu Yao was speechless, but suddenly thought of Xu Taiyan's younger sister who was married to Yasujiro Nakatani.

Marry a chicken like a chicken, marry a dog like a dog, it is not impossible for this sister to leak the news.

Ordinarily, Xu Taiyan would not have told her about such an important and secret matter even if his younger sister hadn't married Nakatani Yasujiro, and after marrying a Wa countryman, he might have broken off contact with her.However, this younger sister should know that Xu Taiyan and Yi Peiji knew each other.

Yi Peiji is very important in the world of antiques.After Xu Taiyan left Yanjing, even if the Japanese didn't know his whereabouts for a while, they would keep their eyes on some key figures in the antique world who knew Xu Taiyan.

During Xu Taiyan's stay in Shanghai, he visited Yi Peiji, so the news might have leaked out.He still has things with him, and there are people accompanying him, and the route from Shanghai to Jiangzhou may also be found out.

Moreover, besides the Japanese, there might be other people who are also eyeing Taidian Fangding.

Yu Yao didn't say this, but asked instead, "If that's the case, then how do you know, He Suo, that the real cauldron didn't fall into the hands of the Japanese?"

"Because according to our investigation, after Xu Taiyan arrived in Jiangzhou, he had no contact with any people from the cultural relics department, and did not encounter any incidents. He stayed in Jiangzhou for two days and left safely. He just left, at least two First, he found out that he was being targeted; second, the real Taidian Fang Ding is safe!"

Yu Yao roughly pushed it again, agreeing with He Wenguang's statement, "Well, he must have left empty-handed, otherwise the Wa people would not let it go."

"Yes! Either, he handed over the real tripod to someone who was not concerned and sent him away quietly from Jiangzhou City; or, he hid the real tripod somewhere in Jiangzhou." He Wenguang said, "After Xu Taiyan left, Yasujiro Nakatani got a tripod as he wished. And why did Yasujiro Nakatani not announce the news of Taidian Fangding for a long time? Now we have the answer!"

Yu Yao nodded.Because Yasujiro Nakatani is not sure!What he got might be the real tripod that Xu Taiyan sent to replace it, or it might be a fake tripod.

As for true and false, he has no vision to distinguish.

Until his death, Yasujiro Nakatani did not have the courage to take out the Taidian Fangding that he had obtained with the Taidian Fangding of Dongjiang Provincial Bo.In his heart, he must be quite afraid of Xu Taiyan, the "big uncle", no matter in terms of eyesight or scheming.

As for why Toyoichi Nakatani showed up to meet Dongjiang Shengbo after discovering his father's relics, this is unknown.

However, the Qianga Art Museum is a private museum, and Toyoichi Nakatani can afford to lose.Even after facing each other, he decided that the tripod in his hand was a fake tripod, and he would just lose face and say, "Damn it."Although this may also be difficult for him to accept.

However, the meeting that had been agreed upon was postponed, indicating that they might have received some news.

The best result they want is naturally that Qianhe Art Museum is true and Dongjiang Provincial Museum is false.Both statues are fake, and there is no benefit to them.

He Wenguang continued, "Judging from the current results, although the real tripod was not taken away by Yasujiro Nakatani, the fake tripod from the Dongjiang Provincial Library was not replaced in the end. It may be that Mr. Xu Taiyan wanted to keep it for a long time. , and then replace it when everything calms down; but a year later, the news of Xu Taiyan's death came out inexplicably, and this matter was shelved."

Yu Yao sighed, "From the Dongjiang Provincial Library to the Dongjiang Provincial Museum, time flies, and by accident, a fake tripod was finally displayed as a real tripod for more than half a century. If Qianhe Art Museum hadn't been killed halfway, maybe I will always be wrong!"

He Wenguang was also a little emotional, and could not help coughing twice, "Although the matter involved a lot of inferences, it was basically clear. The current plan is to find the real tripod before the meeting! Replace the provincial Bo's Fake tripod, then everything will be fine!"

Yu Yao quickly asked, "He Suo, according to what you mean, Zhending also has some clues?"

"In Yanjing and Jiangzhou, many people have been busy for so many days, but they still have nothing to gain?" He Wenguang said, and suddenly stopped, and then Yu Yao vaguely heard Zheng Wenzhi's voice, "Look for Yu at night. Let's have dinner together, sir, what are you talking about on the phone?"

He Wenguang paused, "If you're free, let's meet again? The clue to the true tripod is actually quite vague, so we just push it together."

"Okay, I just happen to have something to say, which is also a clue." Yu Yao replied, "Then hang up first!"

As a result, He Wenguang heard it, "Good boy, don't tell me if you have a clue! Don't hang up, let's talk about it in general first!"

"Hey! Are you short, He Suo?" Yu Yao originally wanted to ask Lao Huang, but He Wenguang couldn't wait.

"That's right, I got a piece of calligraphy written by Yi Peiji, the first director of the Palace Museum. I heard that Xu Taiyan had a relationship with Yi Peiji; moreover, this piece of calligraphy was discovered in Jiangzhou. I thought Could it be that Mr. Xu Taiyan brought the real tripod to visit Yi Peiji when he was in Shanghai, and Yi Peiji gave him this calligraphy? Then he brought it to Jiangzhou and lost it accidentally."

"This is very important! Check the origin, maybe you can pull out another vine!"

"I didn't say it's not important. It's not that I haven't had time to ask about the origin in detail! However, it's true that this calligraphy was written by Yi Peiji, but it wasn't given to Mr. Xu Taiyan, so it's still unclear."

"Okay, then you ask first..."

Before He Wenguang finished speaking, the phone was snatched by Zheng Wenzhi, "Mr. Yu, He Suo is notoriously a workaholic, don't listen to him! You don't know how many times you've lost your money on things like collecting antiques. Why is it so easy to figure out? Let's get together first!"

"It's okay, let me ask first." Yu Yao smiled, "I'll contact you later, hang up first!"

After hanging up the phone, Yu Yao immediately called Lao Huang again.
