She doesn't want to pretend anymore

Qian Sihai subconsciously looked at Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen patted his son-in-law on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes."

After he consoled him like this, Qian Sihai could only smile and say, "Could there be any misunderstanding? I was so focused on checking whether it was real that I didn't notice that the bottle was glued together."

"Father-in-law, I think the boss is also unaware of this. After all, there are rules in this industry. He wouldn't be so bold as to knowingly commit a crime and use broken porcelain bottles to defraud money, right?"

Qian Sihai also spoke up for the antique stall owner, and some people thought he was stupid.

A professor who helps others count money even after being cheated is simply too naive and has never experienced the harshness of society.

"Do you really think so?" Chen Songling looked at his son-in-law with an imperceptible scrutiny in his eyes.

Qian Sihai felt more pressured by the question. His eyes flickered and he said nothing more.

At this time, the more you speak, the more mistakes you will make.

On Mr. Cao's side, the boiling water has already reacted.

"This blue and white porcelain vase should have been repaired using ancient techniques. Nowadays, most porcelain repairs use AB glue and some chemicals, and the repair technology is getting more and more advanced. However, the ancient method of repair is very rare."

"The ancient method of repair can cover up the cracks to the greatest extent. But it also has a disadvantage. When placed in boiling water, the original shape will be revealed."

Mr. Cao fished the broken porcelain pieces out of the water and focused them through a magnifying glass.

He called Manshu, "Come and see, little girl."

Manshu came closer and, with the help of Mr. Cao's magnifying glass, discovered some white flocs floating on the cracks of the porcelain fragments.

This should be because some adhesive substance changed when it came into contact with boiling water.

"Thanks to your sharp eyes, you discovered the newness of the fracture. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to tell that this blue and white porcelain vase was originally broken, but was repaired and used to deceive people."

"Also, from what I can see, this crack has been repaired more than once. Some of the fragments and cracks are old and new. It's obvious that you're not the first person to be cheated."

Mr. Cao is an authority in antique appraisal. The fact that he can make such a speculation proves that this blue and white porcelain vase does have an "extraordinary origin."

When he looked at Manshu, he showed the gentleness and tolerance of a junior, but when he looked at the antique stall owner again, there was a fierce look in his eyes.

"Tell me, what happened?"

The antique stall owner's legs went limp when he was looked at by Mr. Cao.

He defended himself timidly: "Mr. Cao, you are not doubting me, are you? I am just a street vendor, who did I offend? You can't sentence me to death just because of this little girl's one-sided statement."

"Isn't this conclusive evidence?" Old Cao wanted to throw the broken porcelain pieces in his face.

There's obviously something wrong with this boss, but he still refuses to admit it.

"What? It's conclusive evidence. You just heard that the professor of history department of C University didn't even notice that this blue and white porcelain vase was restored. How would I know?"

"If I had such good eyesight, would I still be setting up a street stall here? My shop at home is several hundred square meters!"

What he said makes sense.

"Where did you get that thing?" Mr. Cao would never condone such a deceptive behavior. "As long as you can lead the police to find the person who sold it to you, maybe there is still a chance to prove your innocence."

He suspected that there was a chain of interests behind this, as blue and white porcelain was too rare.

By taking advantage of collectors' love for it, you can definitely deceive a lot of people.

This question from Mr. Cao is also what Tong Yan wanted to ask.

He also contacted the Cultural Investigation Team, which was mainly responsible for the antiques.

The literary investigation team asked Tong Yan to take the person back first and jointly investigate the case.
