Chapter 306 The Greatest Detective in History (Part 2)
As soon as He Qing stepped into "Ju Baozhai", he was attracted by the scene in front of him. He saw a chaotic red light rising up. The "Baoguang" was thick and extraordinary.
Soon, He Qing noticed that the porcelain that emitted such a strong "precious light" was a certain piece of porcelain among a pile of porcelain, and he followed the trace.
When he approached the pile of porcelain placed in a corner, He Qing caught the extraordinary piece of porcelain at a glance. He suddenly saw that it was a piece of celadon, a delicate small basin.
The basin is oval in shape, with an open mouth, sloping walls, a large flat bottom, and four legs underneath. It looks extremely exquisite.
"Brother Qing, is this a narcissus basin?" Lin Haitao, who had been following He Qing, immediately noticed the porcelain and whispered, "It's the shape of a Ru kiln."
He Qing nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's a celadon-glazed narcissus basin from Ru Kiln."
Naturally, he could tell that it was a narcissus basin used for flower arrangements. Porcelain with this shape was relatively common on the market.
"You two, what do you want to play?" At this moment, a person walked up next to him and said hello with a smile.
The person who greeted He Qing and the others was a middle-aged man with a somewhat honest appearance, who must have been a storekeeper or a clerk.
He Qing shook his head and said, "Let's take a look first."
"Well, then please feel free to take a look." The man said enthusiastically, "If you need anything, just call me."
After saying that, he went to greet other customers, while He Qing and Lin Haitao continued to focus on the celadon-glazed narcissus basin in the shape of Ru kiln.
"Brother Qing, these porcelains are probably just antique porcelain, right? They can't be genuine." Lin Haitao judged.
He Qing nodded and said, "I think so."
It stands to reason that it cannot be genuine. If it is authentic porcelain, how can it be placed casually on the ground, including rare treasures such as the Ru Kiln.
The more he thought about it, the more impossible it became. However, He Qing found it strange that the other porcelains in the pile did not emit spiritual light, but only the narcissus basin emitted "treasure light", and it was so strong.
This is a weird thing!
"Could it be... could that piece of porcelain be genuine Ru kiln porcelain?!" He Qing thought to himself, "It shouldn't be that simple!"
In order to find out this situation, He Qing immediately focused his gaze secretly and looked at the red light lingering above the porcelain.
After a while, the purple-red light gathered in front of his eyes, and then traces of red rays shot into his eyes.
He doesn't know how long it took, but He Qing found out the ins and outs of the narcissus basin by watching the images.
"So that's it!" He Qing suddenly realized in his heart, "It seems that this Ru kiln narcissus basin is a treasure and worth collecting!"
It seems like that piece of porcelain has a lot of history!
"Haitao, I want this basin." After seeing clearly the origin of the piece of porcelain, He Qing made a decision and planned to buy it.
"Brother Qing, this is just antique porcelain. It's useless if you buy it, right?" Lin Haitao asked in surprise. "The authentic Ru kiln celadon narcissus basin is a national treasure-level cultural relic. It is extremely rare in the world. There seem to be only a few pieces. Now they are all
They are stored in national collections such as the National Palace Museum, and the public has never heard of genuine collections, so this kind of thing has a price but no market, and you can't buy it no matter how much money you have."
He Qing shook his head nonchalantly and said, "It doesn't matter, just play with it casually. This piece of antique porcelain is well made and should be a high imitation, with a certain collection value."
"That's right." Lin Haitao nodded quickly and agreed, "Brother Qing, then I'll call the shop owner. The price of this kind of antique porcelain shouldn't be high."
"Well, okay." He Qing responded.
So Lin Haitao immediately called the middle-aged man who greeted him just now.
"Brother, to be honest, this batch of porcelain is antique porcelain. Some are made by ourselves and some are collected." The man introduced to He Qing frankly, "You have good taste. That Ru kiln narcissus basin
It’s a high imitation, the imitation is lifelike and very interesting.”
He Qing asked directly: "Then how to sell this thing? Boss, please give me a price."
The man replied solemnly: "If you really like it, then I'll give you a discount. It originally cost 30,000 yuan, so you can give it 20,000 yuan. It's rare for Ru Kiln to do such a good job."
"
"Okay, twenty thousand is twenty thousand!" He Qing nodded and agreed without hesitation.
It was only 20,000 yuan, and he knew it was worth it without even thinking about it.
After saying that, he took out 20,000 yuan from his bag and handed it all to the man. The man also packed the things and took them away at any time.
While He Qing and Lin Haitao were paying attention to the Ru kiln narcissus basin, the two policemen Song Peici and Zhang Shijie were discussing something behind.
"Xiao Song, what kind of medicine do you think Mr. Fang is selling in the gourd?" Zhang Shijie pulled Song Peici to the door of "Ju Baozhai" and whispered, "Why did he ask two young people who knew nothing to come and look for his son?"
His whereabouts?"
Song Peici said disapprovingly: "Old Zhang, how do you know they don't know anything? Don't underestimate that He Qing. Although he is young, he is an expert in antiques and is very famous in the capital!"
Zhang Shijie smiled calmly and said: "No matter how good he is in the antique shop, it has nothing to do with solving the case, right?! Didn't we check it countless times? But we didn't get anything at all! I don't believe they can check it with just that jade pendant.
What's the point? This is all nonsense and a waste of time. You might as well do other things!"
He seemed to be complaining about He Qing's actions, but Song Peici still didn't take it seriously and said solemnly: "Old Zhang, isn't it a good thing that someone is helping Mr. Fang find his son? What else can we say? Let's cooperate with them.
, if we can really find Acheng, then our merits will be complete."
"Haha, this is an idiot's dream!" Zhang Shijie said with a cold smile, "Even if the historical detective Di Renjie is reincarnated, there will be nothing he can do, because there is no way to investigate this. China is so big, with a population of more than one billion, and the Guangjin-Beijing area is so vast.
, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. Furthermore, none of us can guarantee that Mr. Fang’s son is still alive. He was lost at such a young age and his living environment is extremely poor. It is very likely that he will not live long! I miss those two young people.
It’s just because of Mr. Fang’s huge reward, but what’s the difference between this possibility and the probability of winning the first prize of five million by buying a lottery ticket?”
He talked a lot in one breath, and Song Peici said impatiently: "Officer Zhang, why are you talking nonsense? Just forget it if you can't help. Why are you pouring cold water on others behind their backs? If you think it's a waste of time, then
Just go back and let me stay alone to help them solve the case."
After saying that, she turned around and walked away without any explanation, and came to He Qing and Lin Haitao.
"Mr. He, what are you doing?" Song Peici asked.
He Qing said with a smile: "Just bought a piece of porcelain?"
"Bought a piece of porcelain?" Song Peici said in surprise, "I don't understand. Are you here to handle a case with us or are you looking for antiques? Why did you buy antiques?"
He Qing replied seriously: "Of course, the main reason is to solve the case. Officer Song, let's get back to business. You first call the people who handled the jade pendant. I have something to ask them."
Song Peici said: "I just asked. Only the old shopkeeper is here, and there is another one. That is his father, but he is not in Beijing now and has returned to his hometown in Jintian. If he has to ask his father, then we can only set another time.
You can only make an appointment with the old man."
He Qing shook his head and said: "One person should be enough. Is the old shopkeeper in the store the same person who collected the things from the unknown woman?"
"Yes, he received the item directly. It passed through his hands first. His father was also in the store at the time, but he didn't pay much attention to it, so it doesn't matter whether he asked the old man or not, right?" Song Peici explained the situation in detail.
He told He Qing in detail.
He Qing said: "Well, I understand, let's go talk to the old shopkeeper."
Song Peici'e frowned slightly and said, "I don't know what you want to ask? But we have asked everything that needs to be asked. I don't know how many times we have asked it. I hope the shopkeeper knows the answers by heart."
He Qing smiled meaningfully and said: "Officer Song, don't be anxious, take your time, maybe you missed something, and I can ask for some new clues."
"I hope so." Song Peici nodded.
At that moment, she led He Qing and Lin Haitao towards an old man sitting behind the counter. That should be Mr. Zhu, the shopkeeper of "Ju Baozhai".
Mr. Zhu looked like he was in his seventies, skinny as a stick, with wrinkles on his face, but his eyes were still full of energy.
"Shopkeeper Zhu, let me introduce you to an expert. He is also a friend of the antique shop." As she walked forward, Song Peici pointed at He Qing with a sweet smile and introduced to shopkeeper Zhu.
"Oh, did I read that right?!" Shopkeeper Zhu looked He Qing up and down for a while, and suddenly said loudly, as if he was surprised and happy, "This is not a fake game of playing Yuan Qinghua in Rongbaozhai, but later it was
Congratulations to you for holding a large-scale public welfare appraisal meeting?! I'm glad to meet you!"
Unexpectedly, he recognized He Qing, which not only surprised Song Peici, but also He Qing and Lin Haitao.
"Nice to meet you." He Qing nodded politely.
Shopkeeper Zhu said: "Hey brother, what brought you to our store today?! It's really brilliant!"
Song Peici said happily: "Shopkeeper Zhu, since you know Mr. He, it's best. Mr. He is here today on behalf of Mr. Fang. They also want to ask you about the jade pendant. I hope you will answer truthfully."
Shopkeeper Zhu said with a wry smile: "I've said everything I need to say? Is there anything else you need to ask? But Brother He, just ask whatever you want to ask. I'll just tell you what I know in detail."
At the moment, he warmly greeted He Qing and the others to sit down, and asked for hot tea.
While drinking tea, He Qing first casually asked shopkeeper Zhu some information. Shopkeeper Zhu answered everything he knew and told He Qing exactly what he knew.
He Qing actually doesn't care about this. After all, Song Peici and the others have asked him countless times before. They are just repeating the same old tune. There is no way to find a breakthrough from these things.
Fortunately, He Qing had discovered something new about the jade pendant last night, and that was what he came here for.
So he asked solemnly: "Shopkeeper Zhu, I want to ask you something. Is there an antique shop that specializes in collecting antique furniture next to or around your store?"
"There is this." Shopkeeper Zhu said after thinking for a moment, "There is a store next door, but it has changed the store a long time ago. Brother He, why do you ask this?"
"Oh, it's nothing, just asking. As you know, I am an antique lover and I like to pay more attention to this." He Qing said seriously, "Now please recall carefully. In addition to selling this jade pendant to you, that woman
, are there any other things for sale?”
"Other things? Nothing? I just received a jade pendant." Shopkeeper Zhu replied, shaking his head vigorously.
"Then did he sell anything to anyone else? Or did anyone tell you in those few days that he received something? Maybe that woman also sold the thing." He Qing asked hurriedly.
"This..." Shopkeeper Zhu shook his head and said, "I can't remember clearly. The shopkeeper of the antique shop that collects antique furniture you asked about just now seemed to have told me something, oh, yes
Well, he told me that time that he received a pair of chairs and thought they were from old rosewood, but it turned out they were not. He was deceived, so he was very resentful, but he couldn't find the seller, but I didn't ask him about it.
Whoever the seller is may be that woman, because the time matches very well."
"That's right!" He Qing suddenly stood up and said to Song Peici, "Officer Song, we have a new clue. Go find the boss, but we need shopkeeper Zhu to lead the way and help!" (To be continued!
