Upon hearing this, the conference room erupted into uproar!
Li Zeguang was an absolute authority in Modu antique appraisal, and now, he had validated Lin Chuan's claim.
—This thin-walled jade vase was fake!
Chen Hui froze on the spot, his mouth slightly agape.
In the dim light, like everyone else, he looked up at Lin Chuan, his face thick with disbelief.
After the "Overseas Cultural Relics Repatriation Ceremony," during the exhibition phase, damaging a national treasure-level relic ant facing a calamitous situation—exorbitant compensation plus prison ti.
But who could have imagined that he could discern this 'national treasure-level relic' as a counterfeit and successfully prove it?
What needs to be known is that, during the exhibition, hundreds of people had appraised this replica, admired its beauty, but none questioned its authenticity.
After this counterfeit was damaged, Lin Chuan never showed any signs of panic from beginning to end.
It turned out he had realized it long ago.
And he was completely confident in his heart!
He had an ace up his sleeve!
Chen Hui thought again, what if he had been in that position?
Without doubt, he would have been behind bars.
Suddenly, Chen Hui felt so respect for Lin Chuan, silently thinking to himself, Shen Qianqian ah, no wonder you are so fond of him, paying extra attention whenever his na is ntioned.
He indeed had sothing special!
To the side, Youyou let out a long sigh of relief.
The stone on her heart had finally fallen!
anwhile, she watched as the residual light from the flashlight lit up Lin Chuan's profile, handso and refined, and emitting a sense of security.
'Indeed, he's my treasure of a boy.' Youyou pursed her lips, her heart thumping wildly, like a little deer lost in the forest, running into trees.
Whoosh!
The curtains were drawn, and the splendidly bright sunlight re-entered the conference room, illuminating everything and dispelling the lingering gloom and oppression, replaced by a relatively relaxed atmosphere.
Using the differences in light and shadow to identify the thin-walled jade vase as a replica was a unique appraisal technique that Li Zeguang was experiencing for the first ti.
Seemingly simple operations, but the necessary depth of knowledge about antique jade was beyond imagination.
It was as if returning to the basics.
Li Zeguang, the Director of the Modu Cultural Relics Bureau, a highly esteed individual, was now performing a Chuan-style face change.
He looked at Lin Chuan with a smile full of praise, treating Lin Chuan as an honored guest, "Comrade Lin Chuan, please take a seat, take a seat. And you, miss, please sit as well."
As for damaging a re replica, it was just a trivial matter to him.
Where was Lin Chuan, the master of relic appraisal, important?
Lin Chuan and Youyou sat down together.
Li Zeguang took a deep breath and gathered his thoughts, "Comrade Lin Chuan, we are lucky to have you pointing out that this thin-walled jade vase was a replica, otherwise, we would have been kept in the dark, letting those criminals go unpunished."
Lin Chuan, seated next to Li Zeguang, chuckled dryly, "I had no choice in the matter."
Forced to prove it to avoid being locked up.
Tsk...
"Old Zhao, about Comrade Lin Chuan's case..." Li Zeguang looked toward Zhao Gang, the Chief of the police station, and began to speak.
Zhao Gang pondered for a mont, looked at Li Zeguang and Lin Chuan, and continued, "Currently, based on the available clues and materials, the bureau tentatively classifies this cultural relic damage as an accidental event."
"An accidental event..."
The Director of the Cultural Relics Bureau, Li Zeguang, murmured thoughtfully.
Zhao Gang then smiled, "Comrade Lin Chuan, since you are the involved party, I would like to hear your opinion."
Lin Chuan thought briefly and then pointed to the vase on the table, saying,
"If this vase was a real 'Qing dynasty Chinese tangled branch pattern thin-walled jade vase,' the probability of an accidental event would be very slim, but since it's a counterfeit, if it t with an 'accident' and ceased to exist, wouldn't that an the fact that it was a switched vase would never be known?"
The two directors exchanged glances, their brows furrowing in unison.
If they continued to believe that the thin-walled jade vase before them was genuine, no one would think of this aspect.
But precisely because it was confird to be a replica, Lin Chuan's conjecture took root and sprouted quickly in the minds of the two directors!
Lin Chuan added another comnt:
"Moreover, this replica of a thin-walled jade vase was crafted so exquisitely it's hard to imagine the extent of the involvent behind it."
The two directors' eyes widened as the sa thought crossed their minds—an Antique Forgery Gang they had been investigating recently.
—Antique Forgery Gang!!!
