"Boss, it turns out the Investigation Department is here!"
A few kilometers in front of Li Yang's car, Zhao Yongzheng was driving the car, hanging on an earphone, listening to Ma Liang's report inside.
"There are five of them in total, and they have three cars. The white-marked car has been parked at the hotel. The people inside are responsible for monitoring the boss's entry and exit. The person doing the surveillance is named Wasifa, 36 years old, a member of the Mozambique Freedom Organization Movement, eleven years
He broke away from the organization and became a mercenary, and is currently the leader of this small mercenary group!"
"Of the remaining four people, two have been guarding the farm intersection, and two are near the hotel. Two of them are Mozambicans, and two are Tanzanians. The five of them rarely appear together, but they have already
You can be sure that their target is the boss!"
Ma Liang finished his words quickly, Zhao Yong's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he nodded slightly: "I understand, you continue the investigation, and let Li Er keep an eye on them and don't make any mistakes!"
"Yes, head!"
After Ma Liang finished speaking, Zhao Yong put away his headphones.
At this moment, he happened to pass by an intersection. There was a white van parked at the intersection. There were two black men inside, eating chewing gum and chatting and laughing.
Zhao Yong passed the intersection quickly without even looking there. There was nothing unusual about the whole process, just like what happens around everyone.
Everyone has the experience of passing by strangers.
The car was driving, but Zhao Yong's head kept turning.
These five people have continued to appear around Li Yang since he arrived in Milan.
Zhao Yong wouldn't care about people he passed by by chance, but if the same face appeared twice, it would definitely attract his attention. This is what Zhao Yong is good at.
That's why he hid in the dark and kept observing Li Yang's surroundings.
These five people have all appeared around Li Yang at least three times in the past few days, especially Wasifat, who was only fifteen meters away from Li Yang the most recent time.
That time, Zhao Yongdu had already told Zhao Kui and Haidong to be on guard, but the other party didn't make any move, so there was no action.
Zhao Yong did not tell Li Yang all this. At that time, they were not yet sure that the target of these people was Li Yang.
But it was completely determined at this time, but Zhao Yong thought more. These people are mercenaries, and they can only do things if others pay them. Who is the person who hired these mercenaries? That is the key.
Zhao Yong has not paid much attention to the five mercenaries. The living conditions of these mercenaries are very difficult and they have trained their abilities, but he is an elite special forces soldier and the elite among the elites.
Li Yang didn't know all this. He was still talking and laughing with Dean Huang in the car, unaware that there was a crisis hidden around him.
After returning to the hotel, several people immediately returned to the room. Zhao Kui and Haidong stood guard at the door first, while Liu Gang followed Li Yang into the room first.
"Li Yang, take out the painting!"
As soon as he entered the living room, before Li Yang could speak, Dean Huang called out urgently.
"good!"
Li Yang responded immediately, and Dean Huang still had a look of anxiety on his face. It was extremely rare for him to look like this.
The painting was taken out again, and Dean Huang immediately asked Li Yang to place the painting on the table. He put on his white gloves again, took out the magnifying glass, and almost leaned on the painting to read it carefully.
Every piece and every inch of the painting was looked at carefully and clearly by him.
"Dean Huang, do you see any problem?"
After about ten minutes, Li Yang couldn't help but ask, Dean Huang had been looking at it for too long this time.
"That's right, this painting is double-covered!"
Li Yang's heart moved and he blurted out: "Double-layer coverage?"
"Yes, double-layer covering is a unique concealment technique for oil paintings. It changes the original appearance of the painting so that people cannot see the painting itself, or the characteristics of the painting itself!"
Dean Huang nodded slowly, and Wang Jiajia and Liu Gang's eyes slowly widened.
Li Yang was not surprised. This was the first time he had heard of double-layer covering, but it sounded very similar to concealment techniques such as the invisible method or the fog hidden method that he had seen before.
"Are you saying that someone deliberately covered up this painting to protect it?"
Whether it is the appearance method or the fog concealment method, it is a cover-up made out of desperation to protect something. Generally speaking, after the protection is good, the cover-up will be removed, and not many can stay forever.
What I have always kept is, firstly, if there is an accident, there is no way to solve it, and secondly, I don't dare to solve it at all.
Things like the Imperial Seal, the Nine Dragon Jade Cup, etc. should all be of the latter type. Once the cover-up is lifted, almost everyone can see that these are top-notch treasures. If they cannot keep them, it is better to continue to cover them up.
Dean Huang continued: "You are right. Generally speaking, covering up is for protection. Of course, some have ulterior motives, but they are a minority. Double-layer covering is based on the original oil painting and adds a layer of transparent film to protect it.
The painting undergoes slight changes, making the painting into a different style, but the painting is still the same painting!"
The painting was still an original painting, and Li Yang already understood what Dean Huang meant.
This painting has been tampered with to cover up the style of the original painting and show off Geer's style. The person who made this cover-up is either Geer himself or is very familiar with Geer and can almost completely imitate him.
style man.
Of these two situations, the possibility of the first one is extremely high. After all, it was auctioned as a painting by Geer. A forgery would probably not be able to pass the eyes of so many experts at a big auction.
Geer himself is already a famous painter. Although he is not a top expert, he has also entered the first-class ranks. His paintings themselves are of high value.
If you ask him to use the double-layer covering method to cover up the painting, it will definitely be better than what he painted himself, and it will be much better.
Otherwise, he would definitely not adopt this approach.
There are not many such paintings that are much better than his own, and that he can admit willingly, especially the painting "Mona Lisa Smile", which is even less famous in this regard.
According to Dean Huang's understanding, Geer is a painter with an arrogant personality. In fact, many artists are very arrogant. Without the pride of the ghosts of the Qihang Renewal Group who despise the world, they would not be able to achieve a career.
If the arrogant Geer is willing to cover up a painting, the importance of this painting can be imagined.
This is the reason why Dean Huang is excited and anxious.
"Grandpa Huang, you said there is a layer of film covering it, why can't you feel it?"
Wang Jiajia touched the painting carefully, and then asked doubtfully.
Dean Huang glanced at her, immediately smiled again, and said with a smile: "Double-layer covering is not as simple as you think. It is not easy to make this transparent film. First of all, it must not be seen, both visually and tactilely.
There is no difference. Secondly, you must be able to draw on this film, otherwise it will not be able to conceal it!"
Smiling, Dean Huang continued: "Only these two points are already very high requirements, not to mention that they must be kept forever. It is said that this film is made from the saliva of an insect, which is dried in the sun
It can be made with the most exquisite transparent rubber and a phosphorus film of fish scales. The raw materials alone take a long time to prepare!"
"So troublesome!"
Wang Jiajia was stunned for a moment, and immediately retracted her hand, feeling a little nauseous in her stomach.
She didn't expect that this transparent film would also use insect saliva. No matter what kind of insect saliva, she was unwilling to touch it.
"This technology has been lost now. I have only heard about it and have never seen it with my own eyes. Speaking of which, this is the first time I have seen it!"
Dean Huang sighed heavily and looked at Li Yang again.
This technique was actually something he heard Master Xu Beihong say once when he was studying in 2010, and it was firmly remembered in his mind. Over the years, he thought he would never see anything covered up by this technique in his life, but he didn't expect it.
Now I encountered one.
Oil paintings that use double-layer covering, an ancient and complex concealment technique, must have certain problems. Nowadays, it is possible that this technique is used by Geer, and the problem is even greater.
"Dean Huang, can you remove the film covering it?"
"It's possible, but it's a pity!"
Dean Huang hesitated for a moment, and finally said softly.
"What's the pity?" Wang Jiajia couldn't help but asked again.
"When this film is lifted, Geer's paintings on it will disappear. Geer is a great painter anyway, and his paintings themselves have a certain value!"
Dean Huang sighed and spoke slowly.
This is not a painting within a painting, it should be regarded as painting on painting, painting on top of painting, which is ten thousand times more difficult than painting within a painting. Moreover, this kind of cover-up is only one-time. If it is really revealed, the painting below will be exposed, and the painting above will be destroyed.
Already.
This is different from Li Yang's double-sided paintings. Double-sided paintings are just difficult to draw, and there is no disguise.
"That's right, 650,000 euros. If he deliberately painted like this for fun, or practiced this technique, then we would have suffered a huge loss!"
Wang Jiajia nodded silently, while Li Yang looked at her in surprise.
It is true that girls tend to think more than boys. In this painting, she actually thought that she did it on purpose. If this was the case, it only meant that Ming Geer was full and had nothing to do.
Making a double-layer overlay is not a joke, it is a very difficult task. If you make a mistake, you may have to redo it. If you redo it, you will have to put in more energy.
"Haha, this possibility is very small. Li Yang, it is not difficult to remove this kind of cover-up. Do you want to remove it now?"
Dean Huang laughed loudly and looked back at Li Yang.
Li Yang thought for a moment and nodded immediately: "It's okay to remove it now, but I'm sorry to bother you!"
Li Yang had seen the painting below a long time ago. It was indeed a very magical and shocking work. He also knew about the very thin film on it. The first time he observed it under the three-dimensional picture, he felt
Already seen it.
Originally, he thought of taking the painting back and then finding a way to undo it, but now it would be better to have Dean Huang who knows how to do this.
Li Yang has great trust in Dean Huang, and this old man deserves respect and trust.
