Chapter 228 Mission Ended
Fang Hao raised his foot, kicked Du Youhao hard in the stomach with lightning speed, and dragged Uncle Gui to run along the wall regardless of other things.

The attention of Du Youhao and the two men on the left and right were all attracted by the landslide, and they never thought that Fang Hao would suddenly attack.Thus, Du Youhao staggered from the kick, and when he realized something was wrong and tried to control his body, he couldn't control it anymore.

In desperation, he yelled for his hands to pull him, but the landslide had already reached his feet, and he fell in the blink of an eye.

The two guarding Fang Hao and Uncle Gui realized that Fang Hao had already dragged Uncle Gui two or three meters away. The two wanted to chase after them, but they noticed that Du Youhao was in critical condition. This is the big boss, no matter what. They were also saved, so they had to give up chasing Fang Hao.

However, the speed of the landslide was beyond their expectations, and when they wanted to call for help, Du Youhao had already fallen down while yelling.Moreover, the landslide was still expanding rapidly. At this time, how could they care about Du Youhao, and it was important to run for their lives.

As the saying goes, hesitation will lead to defeat. If they escape with Fang Hao, they may escape to death. When they see that Du Youhao cannot be rescued, it will be too late.

On the other side, Fang Hao dragged Uncle Gui and ran desperately. He didn't know how far he ran, but he heard a loud bang behind him. When he stopped and looked back, Ah Mao's house had collapsed, leaving behind a Huge pothole.

The corner of Fang Hao's mouth twitched. If he stayed where he was now, he would be hurt if he was lucky, but if he was unlucky, he would die.

"Um!"

Fang Hao heard the voice, looked back, and it was Uncle Gui who made the sound. He said "I'm sorry", and then took off the cloth stuffed in Uncle Gui's mouth, and then untied Uncle Gui.

"Evil comes with evil, these bastards deserve to go to hell!"

Uncle Gui breathed a sigh of relief, first cursed angrily, and then expressed great gratitude to Fang Hao: "Young man, thank you so much, if it weren't for you, I would have given my life here!"

Fang Hao smiled: "I just do what I can."

"Young man, you are too modest."

At this time, Uncle Gui noticed that there seemed to be a police coming not far away, and he was very surprised: "Hey, why did the police arrive so quickly?"

Fang Hao said: "Actually, the police have been watching this group of people for a long time."

Uncle Gui looked at Fang Hao in surprise, and suddenly realized: "Understood, I will keep my mouth shut!"

Fang Hao smiled slightly and didn't say much.

At this time, his cell phone rang, and it was Qian Min's call. After answering the phone, he reported his safety first, and then told Qian Min that Brother Du Youhao fell into the pit, and his life and death are uncertain now.

Qian Min asked Fang Hao where he was now, and hurried over to ask for details.Fang Hao explained the whole story in detail, and Uncle Gui also made some additions.

Qian Min learned of Du Youhao's remarks, and was both indignant and disgusted at Du Youhao's brazen behavior.However, after being a policeman for so many years, he has seen many selfish people like this, and he is no stranger to them. The best destination for these criminals is to accept the punishment and reform of the law.

Qian Min said to Uncle Gui: "Master, why don't you go back and rest first, we will contact you if we need anything."

"Okay..." Uncle Gui left his house number and left. He is the head of the village, and he needs to deal with some things.A while ago, he even invited Fang Hao to visit his house when he had time.

Uncle Gui is gone, there are no outsiders here, Fang Hao asked: "Uncle Qian, have you found out who the K of Spades and the Q of Hearts are?"

"I have already found Q of Hearts, you are no stranger to this person."

"Who?" Fang Hao was startled, several figures appeared in his mind.

"Liang Yuwen."

"really!"

This answer surprised Fang Hao, but also made sense. Otherwise, at such a young age, how could Liang Yuwen have access to so many unearthed cultural relics?

Qian Min continued: "Actually, I would like to thank you for this matter. If you hadn't asked Lao Wei to investigate, we wouldn't have a clue so soon. Besides, don't blame Lao Wei for not revealing it to you. I told him to do it."

Fang Hao remembered that he had contacted Wei Luoyin before, and Wei Luoyin had unclear meanings, which seemed to be the reason.

At this time, Fang Hao thought of another thing: "Then Zhao Lei is the king of spades?"

"According to Liang Yuwen, the K of Spades is someone else." Qian Min hesitated for a moment, but still said: "As for the reason why Zhao Lei committed suicide, it is easy to say, he saw the intimate picture of Liang Yuwen and Du Youhao together."

Fang Hao let out a long sigh. He had guessed the answer a long time ago. To this cousin whom he had never met, he was furious. There is no grass anywhere in the world, so why bother to hang himself on a tree?

The dead are dead, and it is meaningless to say more now. I hope that Zhao Lei's spirit in heaven can rest in peace after seeing Liang Yuwen accept the trial of the law.

When the police surrounded and arrested them just now, some tomb robbers who were not affected by the subsidence ran away one after another, but the police had already established an encirclement circle, and these people could not escape at all.

The next step is to rescue the people who fell into the pit. Although they are criminal suspects, they have basic human rights even if they have been sentenced, not to mention that they have not yet been tried.

There is nothing wrong with Fang Hao here, so Qian Min first sent someone to send Fang Hao to a nearby hotel to make do for one night, and then come back tomorrow. He still needs his help in some cultural relic appraisal work.

Early the next morning, after Fang Hao had a simple breakfast, Qian Min came to pick him up. On the way, Fang Hao got the bad news that Du Youhao was seriously injured and passed away in the early morning.

Fang Hao is somewhat depressed, because according to the laws of our country, if a criminal suspect or defendant dies, he will not be investigated for criminal responsibility. If he has already been investigated, the case should be dismissed, or the prosecution should not be prosecuted, or the trial should be terminated, or he should be acquitted.

Although, in terms of civil liability, it is still possible to sue, but if the person is gone, the cultural relics he obtained illegally before, even if there are witnesses, it will undoubtedly become more difficult to recover.

However, Qian Min also said that he would do everything possible to bring those cultural relics back to justice.

But the most critical question, Du Youhao is dead, can the unknown K of Spades be found?

In addition to Du Youhao's death, two more unlucky people died, and Zhao Hulu was one of them. Du Youcai, Amao, and Liu Tiehan all suffered injuries of varying severity, and none of them were in danger of life.

When he arrived at the destination, Fang Hao saw that the surrounding area was fenced off and warning signs were set up. Some archaeologists also came overnight. Qian Min gave Fang Hao an introduction.

The archaeologists were somewhat surprised to see that Qian Min respected the young Fang Hao. Some people thought that Fang Hao was gilded from above.

After a night of hard work, most of Amao's buried bronze wares were cleared out. Fang Hao's task was to identify, classify and price them.This is also due to the involvement of the case, so Fang Hao was asked to do it for him.

This kind of work is very easy for Fang Hao. During the period, some archaeologists were not convinced, and they deliberately tested Fang Hao with questions. After a few rounds, they admired Fang Hao.

When Fang Hao was appraising, Uncle Gui, who was the village head, also came to see if there was anything that needed him.

Although Uncle Gui is an old farmer now, he is also well-informed. He is not surprised by Fang Hao's age as an expert, not to mention that he has a very good impression of Fang Hao, and he will not think Fang Hao is a "brick".

"Mr. Fang, I have a piece of old jade from a comrade in arms at home. I have also asked someone to appraise it before, and they all said that it is wrong, but my comrade in arms said that the thing was passed down from the ancestors. At least it has a history of two or three hundred years. I believe My comrade-in-arms will definitely not lie to me, but the experts who have seen it are all wrong, I don’t know who to listen to now, can I trouble you to take a look?”

Fang Hao said there was no problem, and Uncle Gui hurried home to get the jade.

Uncle Gui hasn't come back yet, but the archaeological excavation team leader has arrived. It's a professor surnamed Pan in work clothes.

After Professor Pan arrived, he started working: "Have you confirmed that it is the tomb of a prince from the Shang Dynasty?"

The archaeologists who arrived first made an introduction, and then asked Fang Hao to explain.

Generally speaking, the system of using wine vessels as bronze ritual vessels in the Shang Dynasty evolved into a new ritual system of matching bronze tripods and guis at this time, and the system of using musical instruments and the system of chariots and horses have all changed.With these new systems, the identity and rank of the deceased can be determined based on actual findings.

Facing professionals like Professor Pan, Fang Hao did not have the slightest timidity. He took a few funerary objects that had been excavated first, and talked about it, showing his solid and profound knowledge.

Professor Pan looked at the young and unfamiliar face in front of him, and was very surprised. He recalled who in the industry he knew had such an outstanding disciple, but after thinking about it, he still had no impression, so he couldn't help asking: "Fang Hao, who is your teacher?"

Fang Hao smiled slightly, and took out the set of arguments he had made up, which surprised Professor Pan even more. In addition, when he learned that Fang Hao was still a senior student and had not graduated, he suddenly had an idea in his heart, should he persuade him? Fang Hao studying in graduate school?

At this time, Uncle Gui came back with the jade: "Mr. Fang, the things are here, do you have time to take a look?"

Fang Hao looked into the box in Uncle Gui's hand, and found that it was a round sculpture of mother and child.

The mother beast is lying on its back, with a strong body, its eyebrows and tail are carved with dense thin lines, and its shape is docile. Cute.Mother and child are rubbing each other's ears and temples, playing and playing, kind and warm.

Fang Hao observed carefully, this jade animal ornament was smooth and lustrous in quality, exquisite in carving, smooth in lines, and colorful in parts, simple and lovely.

He looked at it for a while, and then he had an idea: "During the appraisal before, did everyone say that this jade is Gongduanqin?"

In the market, there is a method of counterfeiting jade, called Laoyu Xingong, which refers to processing ancient jade that has not yet formed a shape or is irregular in shape and poorly carved.This kind of imitation is made of old materials, half-old and half-new in craftsmanship, imitated according to the original shape, half-old and half-new in pattern, and old and old as much as possible, so it is very confusing and confusing. Lethality.

One of the biggest characteristics of the identification and imitation of old jade and new work is whether there is a phenomenon of "work break".

For example, after a piece of ancient jade is buried in the soil, it is eroded by the environment of the tomb, and it will form soil ooze over time.Even at the bottom of the tunnel and Yinxian, it will climb in and out.

And if the old jade is new, due to the use of new processing technology, the original color of the jade skin will be cut off, which feels very unnatural, which is called unnatural state in the industry.

"Yes, some experts say so." Uncle Gui was very disappointed: "Is this jade really wrong?"

Fang Hao shook his head: "Actually, it's not Gongduanqin."

Professor Pan was very surprised when he saw Fang Hao's judgment, because judging by his eyesight, this jade was the characteristic of Gongduanqin, why Fang Hao gave the opposite conclusion.

Fang Hao noticed Professor Pan's expression, he didn't hold back, and explained directly.

"Generally speaking, the situation of Gongduanqin may be the old jade new worker or the jade skin pretending to be colored, but it is not absolute, because there is a saying of "touching the contact point" when ancient jade is exposed to Qin, and some Yinxian grooves are more For deep ancient jade, in an environment where the contact color source is light, only the surface of the jade may be exposed to osmosis, while the inside of the deep Yinxian groove is shallow or not at all.

The more obvious feature of this piece of jade son and mother beast is that the jade surface is heavily exposed to water, while there is almost no water in the deep Yin line.The possible reason is that due to the heavy oozing on the surface of the jade and the shallow or no oozing in the deep yin line, the shallow oozing jade in the deep yin line recovers quickly and the heavy oozing jade on the surface recovers slowly after playing with the hand. Broken Qin. "

Next, he comprehensively analyzed jade quality, work marks, charm, familiarity and other aspects to prove his judgment.

After listening to Fang Hao's explanation, Professor Pan felt ashamed. Fortunately, he didn't express his opinion just now, otherwise he would be ashamed.As for persuading Fang Hao to go to graduate school, it was thrown to Java country. Since he was young, he couldn't teach Fang Hao much.

Perhaps, there is a chance to introduce Fang Hao to his teacher?
After listening to Fang Hao's explanation, Uncle Gui is still a little confused, but he is not a professional, as long as he knows that the jade is real.

He grinned and asked, "Mr. Fang, can you estimate how much this piece of jade is worth?"

Fang Hao thought about it for a while: "This kind of Han Dynasty jade is very popular in the market, and the conservative estimate should be around 50."

"Ah! Is it so expensive?" Uncle Gui was taken aback. He originally thought that this jade piece would only cost tens of thousands of yuan, but he didn't expect it to be worth 50 yuan!

Fang Hao nodded: "Basically it will not be lower than this price."

Uncle Gui was silent. Originally, he thought that if the item was okay, he would donate it, but he deserved it for such an expensive item, so he changed his mind and returned the jade to his comrades.

After a while, he sincerely thanked: "Mr. Fang, thank you. If it weren't for your good eyesight, I wouldn't know it is a treasure. If I bump into it, it will be too late to regret it!"

Fang Hao smiled and said a few polite words.

Afterwards, Uncle Gui took the jade wares home carefully, Fang Hao continued his previous work, and Professor Pan began to preside over the rescue and excavation of the ancient tomb. When he learned that Fang Hao was not in charge of the excavation work, he felt somewhat regretful. .

At noon, Uncle Gui prepared a table of delicious dishes, and warmly invited Fang Hao and others to his home for dinner. The hospitality was hard to turn down, and everyone had to agree.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Uncle Gui stood up and offered a glass of wine to Qian Min, and then said, "Captain Qian, can I ask, what punishment will that kid Amao get this time?"

Qian Min didn't hide it: "He, the problem is not that big. On the one hand, he was coerced by Brother Du Youhao; It won't be a big deal if you make atonement."

Uncle Gui felt relieved and said, "That's all right. Amao is not a bad kid by nature, and he hasn't done anything harmful. If possible, it's better not to be stained, otherwise it will be difficult to marry a wife in the future!"

Fang Hao suggested: "Ah Mao's bronze imitation technology can be regarded as the top level in China. I think it is best to let him cooperate with the state-owned museum, so that he can make the most of his strengths. If he is allowed to develop on his own, if he is replaced by Du Youhao Threatened by others, this life may be ruined."

Amao is a typical technical fanatic, and other aspects are his weaknesses. This kind of person is also easy to be hijacked or deceived, so Fang Hao proposed this.

Some people may say, isn't this restricting Amao's freedom?But everyone is innocent and guilty, just relying on Amao's ability, no one protects him, and he can't keep his skills by himself.

After hearing this conversation, Professor Pan was very curious: "Is this Amao's technique really so good?"

Fang Hao said: "Professor Pan, I wonder if you have noticed before that there is a small pile of bronze wares on my left, and those are the works of Ah Mao."

"what!"

Professor Pan was taken aback. Although he was busy with work, he didn't pay attention to the bronzes that Fang Hao sorted out, but he had a look at them. He also had some impressions of the pile of bronzes that Fang Hao mentioned. I can't see the problem.How can he not be surprised to learn that those are all the works of Amao.

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Since ancient times, there are so many high-level people in the folk. Can I apply to communicate with him later? If possible, try to persuade him to stay in the research institute where I work now, so that what he learns can be useful, and there is also an environment for specialized research technology. .”

"Yes." Qian Min nodded. If Professor Pan helps, the research institute is indeed a very good home for Amao.

After having lunch at Uncle Gui's house, everyone rested for a while and went back to work.

Fang Hao's work tasks were not heavy, and ended early in the afternoon, so Qian Min sent him back to the hotel again.

The arrest of Du Youhao and his gang meant that Fang Hao's mission on the trip to Xijing was finally over, he could finally return to the capital, and he relaxed and began to think about systematic matters.
