Antique Dealer

Chapter 106 Framed
What Zeng Qing brought was a copper-stitched gold and silver belt hook, with animal-patterned hook head and beautifully curved hook body.The surface of the hook is decorated with gold and silver string patterns and animal face patterns, with turquoise inlaid in between, and the gold, silver and green contrast, which is extremely luxurious.

The mixed gold and silver process is a traditional Chinese metal surface decoration method. It originated in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is to draw a groove on the surface of the bronze ware according to the requirements, and then attach gold or silver of the same size to the groove and smooth it, so that Bronze and gold and silver are integrated into one, using the different luster of the two metals to show patterns, but the colors are distinct and never fade.The use of mixed gold and silver craftsmanship on bronze ornaments began in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, prevailed in the Warring States Period, and gradually declined after the Western Han Dynasty.

Fang Hao looked at the belt hook, and saw that it was interlaced with gold, silver, turquoise and bronze luster. The richness of gold, silver and turquoise complemented the deep and solemn bronze. A fine work among copper and gold and silver belt hooks.

After reading it, he sneered in his heart: "Even ordinary people can see that this exquisite piece with a hook can be bought cheaply? Are you really blind as a seller!"

Not to mention, there are still traces of new pits on this belt hook!

Fang Hao raised his head, saw Zeng Qing looking at him, and smiled at himself, thinking how to solve this matter.

Zeng Qing didn't know how to answer, Fang Hao glanced at him twice, and suddenly felt a little nervous in his heart, he couldn't help muttering: "What's going on, did he find out something, shouldn't it?"

The distracting thoughts in his mind were fleeting, and he asked with a smile on his face, "The hook should be fine, right?"

"It's no problem." Fang Hao looked at Liu Shi: "Do you want it?"

Liu Shi suddenly noticed that Fang Hao was secretly signaling him, and he quickly changed his words: "How much?"

Zeng Qing was overjoyed, and quickly said: "My friend for many years, I will definitely not cheat you, just give me 10 yuan."

Liu Shi looked at Fang Hao, and seeing Fang Hao with a smile on his face, he agreed: "Okay, how can I give you money?"

"Forward me directly on WeChat." Zeng took out his phone and opened the software: "You add this number."

Liu Shi was a little unhappy: "You kid is so mean, you don't even know to tell me if you change your number."

Zeng Qing quickly took out another hand, held it in his hand and raised it: "Hey, I still use the previous account, it was only stolen once, and although I got it back, I was afraid it would be unsafe, so I paid a large amount. This number is used for all payments.”

Fang Hao sneered in his heart. He was thinking about how Zeng Qing could get rid of himself, so he used this method. Obviously, this account is definitely not Zeng Qing's real-name authentication, and it can be completely pushed away by then.

Liu Shi transferred the money to Zeng Qing, and then walked towards the restaurant while talking and laughing. Afterwards, Zeng Qing sat next to Liu Shi, making it inconvenient for Liu Shi to ask Fang Hao what was going on until the end of the party. .

"I haven't seen you for a while, why does this kid look like brown sugar!" Liu Shi got into the car and couldn't help complaining anymore.

Fang Hao smiled and said, "He probably wants to see if there is anything unusual about us."

"What's going on? Could it be that this thing was just unearthed?" Liu Shi took out the belt hook.

"It's not just unearthed, it's a cultural relic that was stolen as soon as it was unearthed." Taking advantage of Zeng Qing's inattention, Fang Hao took a photo of the hook and sent it to Qian Min, only then did he know about the hook. The problem is really big.

Just last month, an ancient tomb was discovered on a construction site in Jin Province, and then the archaeological team went to rescue and excavate it. Since the archaeological work is still in the excavation stage, all the cultural relics that have been cleaned up are kept in the tomb, waiting After further processing, I didn't expect to be taken advantage of by the "grave robber".

Although there is a barbed wire fence there, the height of the barbed wire fence is less than one person's height, so it cannot effectively prevent theft.The on-site video surveillance captured the entire theft process. The theft gang took advantage of the archaeologists' rest and carelessness. From entering the tomb to leaving, the whole process lasted less than 15 seconds, which was obviously well-prepared.

Later, although a few criminals were caught, not all the stolen items were added, including this belt hook, which I did not expect to appear here.

Knowing the origin of the hook, Liu Shi couldn't have imagined what was going on, and he was so angry that he cursed: "Grandson Zeng Qing, I have never done anything wrong to him, and he used such a disgusting way to treat me. , are you even a human?!"

In fact, even if the police came to the door, as long as they found out, Liu Shi would be fine, but the investigation process will definitely take time, and it will cost him 10 yuan, which is disgusting to think about.

Fang Hao said: "Some people only have benefits in their eyes. When the benefits they get are far greater than what they pay, they will definitely not have any psychological burden."

Liu Shi said with a sullen face: "From this point of view, it must be Liang Xuanyi's fault!"

At today's gathering, except for Liang Xuanyi, he had no conflicts with anyone, and he didn't have any conflicts with other people, only Liang Xuanyi had this motive.

It's just that he never expected that Liang Xuanyi would think of using such a method to deal with him after just a little quarrel. How small-minded is this guy?
Liu Shi suddenly thought of another possibility: "Could it be that what Zeng Qing said is true, this belt hook was indeed something he encountered by chance in Jinling."

Fang Hao said: "Look at the last word of the recipient on WeChat, is it his name?"

When Liu Shi transferred the money just now, he had already noticed that the last word of the transferor was Ming, but he still didn't give up, so he opened the software and looked at it, and then sighed.

He was silent for a moment: "What should we do now?"

Fang Hao said, "Let's go see Police Officer Qian and wait for his opinion."

After a while, the two met Qian Min, Fang Hao introduced them both, and Liu Shi also gave the hook to Qian Min.

Qian Min carefully compared the photos, nodded and said, "It is indeed the one that was stolen last month."

Liu Shi hurriedly asked: "Officer Qian, how to deal with this matter?"

Qian Min laughed: "We have already sent someone to take Zeng Qing for questioning, and your money will not be lost."

"If he sold me this belt hook to frame me, can he be imprisoned?" Liu Shi felt that only by letting Zeng Qing go to jail can he relieve his hatred.

Qian Min said: "If he really intended to frame him, it would be a crime, but how to convict him requires a comprehensive judgment, but as long as it is verified, he will be detained."

After hearing this, Liu Shi felt much more comfortable.

Fang Hao asked: "Officer Qian, does Liang Xuanyi have anything to say?"

"This question is a bit complicated. Let me tell you when I have a chance in the future."

Seeing what Qian Min said, Fang Hao knew that it was inconvenient to ask this question now. He guessed, would the police develop Liang Xuanyi into an internal agent and let Liang Xuanyi atone for his crime?
After finishing the record, Qian Min shook hands with the two: "Thank you for today's matter, but please don't mention today's matter to others for the time being."

"OK……"
