unrivaled gymnastics

"Sword Dance Picture" is kept in a transparent box filled with inert gas.This is a national treasure cultural relic, no matter how careful it is, it cannot be overstated.Obviously, in the hands of 8 of Spades and others, it has not received due respect, and there are some small gaps on the edge of the frame, Qi Jingtian swears that they never existed before.Qi Chong stood beside his grandfather worriedly, fearing that the old man would get angry because of some damage in the painting and be hospitalized again.

He saw the young expert open the suitcase. The suitcase didn’t look big, but inside it was divided into four layers. Each layer contained various tools by category, ranging from small tweezers to sophisticated head-mounted magnifying glasses. , All the equipment he could imagine that an appraisal expert should have are all in this box.

The expert put on gloves and asked the forensic personnel to open the transparent box.Qi Chong thought that he was going to move left and right next, let all the tools in the suitcase come on stage in turn, and scanned the ancient painting from beginning to end, but Lin Wuque just put on a magnifying glass, adjusted the angle, leaned over the painting, and stared at it intently. After a while, he said to Gu Xuyang, "It's the real work."

"Uh, do you want to stop watching?" Gu Xuyang said.

"Okay." The expert turned his head, looked at the ancient painting for about three seconds, and said to Gu Xuyang again, "I've seen it, it's the real one."

"You are too casual!" It was Qi Chong who shouted.He vented his dissatisfaction on Gu Xuyang, the person in charge, "Is this the kind of expert your police recruited?"

Gu Xuyang looked at Qi Chong uneasily: "But...he is indeed an expert."

"Anyone can call themselves an expert these days! Don't you just take a look? I can do it too, so am I also an expert?"

"Qi Chong! Don't be rude!" Qi Jingtian reprimanded in a low voice.

"They're just fooling you, Grandpa!" Qi Chong complained very much for the old man.

Qi Jingtian raised his hand, told his grandson to be calm, and said to the young expert: "Why do you believe this is authentic? What evidence do you have? Can you tell me, an old man? After all, this is my thing. It's hard work Lost and recovered, I don’t want to miss anything.”

The young expert took off the head-mounted magnifying glass. "It's hard to explain to you in words."

If it weren't for the police watching and beating people breaking the law, Qi Chong would have rushed forward to fight the young expert.

"There must be a reason, right? Otherwise, you won't be able to convince the public with just a few words." Gu Xuyang's stomach felt sore.Why does he always do these weird things?Is it because he dabbled in the rivers and lakes that he always met these extraordinary people?

"Well, I have seen a lot of real things, so I can tell the fake ones at a glance. It's like a bank clerk who deals with real banknotes every day can tell fake banknotes by touching them."

Qi Jingtian pressed his heart.The young expert's words almost made him fall ill.Seeing this, Qi Chong hurriedly helped his grandfather sit down, and ordered Gu Xuyang to pour hot water.Gu Xuyang doesn't want the old man to suffer from any illness under his nose, this porcelain is too big to touch!

"Young people, don't speak wild words," Qi Jingtian panted, "I have collected so many antiques, and I dare not claim that I have seen too many real things, but you can? You...you think you are the emperor? "

The young expert gave him a strange look. "Zhen died early in the morning—just kidding. Many people think that "Sword Dance Picture" is a cultural relic of the Tang Dynasty. Although it is generally correct, there are actually some minor errors. It has been handed down among the people for many years, and the painting has long been damaged and blurred, and even the main characters can’t be seen clearly. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that it was accidentally obtained by Tang Yin. Everyone knows that Tang Yin is a master of painting, but few people know that he is repairing cultural relics—especially ancient paintings. On the above—he also made a lot of achievements. He made additions to the damaged "Sword Dance Picture" to create the painting you see today. That is to say, part of "Sword Dance Picture" was handed down from the Tang Dynasty , and the other part was added by Tang Yin himself in the Ming Dynasty."

Qi Chong responded to the case: "Don't fucking talk nonsense!"

Qi Jingtian picked up the inseparable dragon-head crutch, and slammed it on Qi Chong's instep.Qi Chong groaned, and sat down on the ground with his feet hugged.

"Don't talk dirty!"

"I'm helping your old man and scolding him! Why did you hit me instead!"

Qi Jingtian said to the young expert: "When I first got this painting, I asked a professional organization to appraise it, and they also said that this painting has been repaired, but even if it is repaired so that the naked eye cannot detect it, it cannot be escaped by modern high-tech equipment. Shape. Restoration of ancient paintings is a very common thing. It would be strange if a cultural relic that has been handed down for so many years has not been repaired once after several wars and displacements. So I think these repair marks are the evidence that it is authentic. The firm told me that they have done carbon-14 dating and confirmed that most of the materials of this painting were indeed born in the Tang Dynasty. Only a few repaired places have detected the materials of the Ming and Qing dynasties. If it is as you said It is said that this painting was repaired by Tang Bohu, a painter of the Ming Dynasty, so the age of the detected material should be the Ming Dynasty."

"Because Tang Yin is a more serious person, and the tools of the Tang Dynasty are needed to restore the ancient paintings of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he bought silk from the Tang Dynasty with a lot of money and repaired it with ancient methods."

"I'm afraid this is just your speculation."

"I painted since elementary school. Because of my family background, I have come into contact with many authentic works of Tang Yin, so I understand his brushstrokes. Although the way of brush strokes in this painting inherits the legacy of the Tang Dynasty, it is definitely Tang Yin's handwriting, and others cannot imitate it. And Tang Yin The restoration of ancient paintings is also recorded in the ancient books handed down by my family."

"Blow, keep blowing." Qi Chong said strangely.

The young expert said while putting the tools back into the suitcase: "Have you never been angry, why the Ace of Hearts, the thief of hearts, never sells the stolen treasures, and only steals one thing every year?"

"...Because he is a thief?" Gu Xuyang said.

"Ace of Hearts is an elegant thief. People with high artistic attainments in the world always have some eccentricities." Qi Jingtian said.

The world recognizes that Ace of Hearts has a eccentric personality that cannot be deduced by common sense, so no matter what unbelievable behavior he makes, the world will automatically interpret it as due to his personality.Because he is a weird person, it is only natural to do weird things.

"Perhaps so, but there are other possibilities."

"Make it up, keep making it up." Qi Chong sneered.

The young expert closed the toolbox with a "slap", and glanced at Qi Chong. The cold eyes made the hairs on Young Master Qi's back stand on end.

"Haven't you guys never discovered the rule of Ace of Hearts stealing antiques?"

"They are all valuable?" Gu Xuyang guessed.

Qi Jingtian and Qi Chong looked at him lovingly.

"There are still worthless antiques in the world? How about selling me a few?" Qi Chong couldn't help mocking.

The young expert said: "Tang Yin is not only a master of painting, but also a master of martial arts. It is said that he hides the essence of his swordsmanship in a treasure that cannot be put down. As for whether this treasure is a book or a painting, whether it is a bottle or a can, it is his No one knows whether the relics of the predecessors he got or the fine paintings he created himself. Every antique that Ace of Hearts has stolen over the years has been in the hands of Tang Yin—or the antiques he repaired, or The handicrafts he bought from other places, or the pictures he drew himself... Every piece of stolen antique has been in Tang Yin's hands for a long or short time."

"That is to say, each of them may contain Tang Yin's sword manual?" Qi Jingtian asked.

"That's right. But as for what the sword manual is hidden in, not only I don't know, but the Ace of Hearts also doesn't know. So every time he steals something, he will close the door and study it carefully, and wait until he is sure that the sword manual is not hidden in it." After that, he will pay attention to one thing. This is the reason why he has a long interval between each steal."

The three looked at him in shock and bewilderment.

"How do you know so clearly?" Gu Xuyang asked, "Although you explain it this way, many mysteries about Ace of Hearts have been solved, but it is impossible for ordinary people to know these inside stories? What is your relationship with Ace of Hearts?"

"It doesn't matter much. If you have to say it, they are relatives hundreds of years ago."

The three were stunned.

"We are both descendants of Tang Yin, but after so many generations, we have long since lost contact, and the only blood relationship has been diluted. Only the rumors about our ancestors are still remembered in our hearts." The young expert smiled. He smiled, "It seems that only ancestors who can bring benefits to themselves have the qualifications to be remembered."

"Are you a descendant of Tang Yin?" Qi Jingtian asked in a trembling voice, "Can I ask your honorable name?"

"Lin Wuque. It's not a famous name, so you probably haven't heard of it."

Indeed, no one has ever heard of it.The three were ashamed of their ignorance.Lin Wuque picked up the suitcase: "My family has been very concerned about the whereabouts of the "Sword Dance Picture", after all, there may be treasures hidden in Tang Yin's sword manual, so when I heard that the "Sword Dance Picture" was found, I was sent to identify it. .”

"Your family doesn't want to take the painting back, does it?" Qi Chong asked.

"Of course not, it belongs to Mr. Qi."

Qi Jingtian followed Lin Wuque in surprise.This young man of great background terrified him. Although he had never heard of Lin Wuque, everyone knew the name of the Lin family in the antique world, especially in the appraisal of calligraphy and painting. Can come out right.

"Is Mr. Lin doing work related to cultural relics appraisal?" Qi Jingtian asked, "There are some calligraphy and paintings in the old man's house, and I have always wanted to ask someone to read them. If Mr. Lin is free..."

"Sorry, I'm only here because of entrustment from my family. I don't do related work myself. There are specialties in the art industry. You should ask industry experts to hold eyes for you."

"Then what industry are you in?"

"I'm a cartoonist."

"……what?"
