Chapter 569 Nothing is more important than a treasure
"This phoenix crown..."
The headmaster adjusted his glasses and looked at the display window.
Director He's heart skipped a beat: "Dean Zong, is there anything wrong with Fengguan?"
"There is nothing wrong with the phoenix crown. It was made by the palace craftsmen. The polishing and embellishment of each pearl were the best of that era. Look at this phoenix, it is meticulously painted and artistic... It's just -"
The first half of the words of the sect dean made his heart drop to the ground, but the latter part only made his heart lift again, as if it was being held by a hand.
Director He wiped the sweat from his forehead. This roller coaster ride was not a good one.
"It is said that this phoenix crown was made for the princess by the queen using the orbs donated by the small maritime countries. Why am I looking at the orbs on this phoenix crown and I am not sure?"
I'm not sure, in antique jargon, it basically means fake.
A fake orb is inlaid on a real phoenix crown. This is a big deal.
The headmaster's voice was very low, as he didn't want to cause trouble.
He still believed in Director He. Xiao He was an upright person, and his superiors were very optimistic about him.
"You..." Director He seemed to have his throat pinched, "Dean, have you seen it clearly? Let's go to the office to discuss it in detail?"
The dean of the sect glanced at him and found that Director He's expression was not unexpected, but anxious.
He nodded in understanding: "Okay."
The two of them came out, and others continued to visit inside. Curator He did not forget to bring Manshu with him.
After all, she was the first one to question it.
Dean Zong had some doubts about his behavior of bringing a little girl into the office.
However, he was very calm. He sat down on the chair and waited for Director He to speak.
"It's like this. Just now when I was visiting with you and others, Manshu came to me and said that she found that the orb on the phoenix crown was different from yesterday."
"I didn't believe it at first, but because the matter is so important, our museum attaches great importance to it, so I wanted to ask you to help me take a look. Unexpectedly, you discovered the problem before I even opened my mouth."
"As the director of the museum, I cannot guarantee that our protection work is perfect, but we have introduced the most advanced security system and even sought external assistance from Rongan Security."
"Professor Gu and President Cao all came to see it yesterday and found no problems with Fengguan, so there is no possibility that it was switched out in advance."
The more Director He said, the more solemn the headmaster's face became.
"There is indeed nothing wrong with the phoenix crown. The only problem is the orb."
However, the most valuable thing about this phoenix crown is also the orb.
"I think you need to contact Professor Gu immediately. I can't be sure, but Professor Gu, a person who has personally excavated it, will definitely be able to tell the clues."
"But..." Curator He heard that Professor Gu went home to spend time with his family today. His daughter came back from abroad. How could she disturb the family reunion?
Xu Shi saw Director He's thoughts, and the head of the clan patted him on the shoulder: "Xiao He, nothing is more important than the treasures in the long history of our country."
A person like Professor Gu, who has been engaged in archaeological work all his life, already knows how to balance in his heart.
"I got distracted. I'll get in touch with Professor Gu right now."
Curator He quickly contacted Professor Gu.
The dean's attention finally fell on Manshu.
"Little girl, how did you discover that the orb on the phoenix crown had been stolen?"
If Director He's expression hadn't been different, he might still have hesitated.
