No one expected that Lin Zhiming would take out Millsap's seal at this time.
The seal was entirely milky white, with a lifelike bird carved on it.
"No one has ever seen Mr. Millsap's seal, so you think it's Mr. Millsap's seal?" Auden said disdainfully.
Everyone around them nodded. Although Master Millsap would stamp his paintings, few people had seen Millsap's seal with their own eyes.
"Mr. Lin, can you show me the seal?" Prince Wesley said suddenly.
Lin Zhiming handed the seal to Prince Wesley.
The prince took the seal, looked through it carefully and said, "This is indeed Master Millsap's seal."
"Really?!" Auden asked in horror.
"Yes!" Prince Wesley nodded and said, "The material of this seal was given to Master Millsap by my father, so I remember clearly that Master Millsap asked our craftsmen to help make it.
This is what it looks like now.”
"Your Highness, could this be a counterfeit?" Auden asked.
"No, look at this little bird. There is a slight scratch on the beak. This was left intentionally! If it was a counterfeit, he would only think it was a mark of the seal being used for a long time.
I would not deliberately make such a scratch." Prince Wesley said.
"How is that possible!" Oden looked at Prince Wesley in disbelief. He did not expect that Prince Wesley would actually testify for Lin Zhiming. Based on his relationship with Prince Wesley, even if the seal was genuine, Prince Wesley would also
You said he was fake, so why did you help him prove that the seal was genuine?
"Master Millsap has always cherished this seal very much. Now that he appears in your hands, it is enough to prove that you are Jimmy!" Prince Wesley said, returning the seal to Lin Zhiming.
Everyone present looked at Lin Zhiming in surprise. They did not expect that what Lin Zhiming said before was actually true!
"But what does this mean? The focus of our discussion is today's two paintings! Does this have anything to do with the relationship between Lin Zhiming and Millsap?" Auden saw that everyone believed Lin Zhiming's words and immediately
The conversation turned to the two paintings on the table in front of me.
"That's true!" Prince Wesley nodded and said, "Mr. Lin, even if you are Jimmy, that doesn't mean anything."
"Can't you really explain anything? I lived with Master Millsap for eight months, so I know clearly that Master Millsap does not drink coffee. If this is the case, how did Mr. Oden talk to Master Millsap?
Where did we drink coffee together one afternoon eight years ago?" Lin Zhiming asked.
Lin Zhiming's words immediately reminded everyone present of what Oden had said before.
If Millsap doesn't drink coffee, then Auden's statement about drinking coffee with Millsap is pure nonsense. Since this matter is nonsense, the credibility of the subsequent process of buying paintings will naturally not be high.
"That was eight years ago. I remember I was drinking coffee. Maybe Mr. Millsap was drinking tea. I don't remember that clearly. It's not an important thing. Who knew what happened eight years ago?
It’s possible that I’ve misremembered it!” Auden explained.
His explanation makes sense. After all, eight years have passed, and it is normal to misremember.
"It does make sense, but... there is one biggest flaw in what you said before. You said you saw this painting when you went to Master Millsap eight years ago and bought it.
But the fact is that this painting was created by Master Millsap five years ago. How did you buy this painting eight years ago?" Lin Zhiming asked.
Hearing Lin Zhiming's words, Auden's face froze slightly. He actually didn't know when this painting was created. He just told it casually to increase credibility. He didn't expect that Lin Zhiming actually knew.
This painting was created five years ago.
According to the normal rhythm, at this time he should ask Lin Zhiming why he concluded that this painting was created five years ago. However, if Lin Zhiming was Jimmy, he might actually have a way to prove that this painting was created five years ago.
Created before.
By then his situation will become extremely embarrassing.
After thinking briefly for a moment, Auden said with a cold face, "Mr. Lin, no matter what you say, there are two paintings on the table. My painting is real and your painting is fake. There is no doubt about it."
Yes, if you don’t believe it, you can check it on the spot.”
"That's smart!" Lin Zhiming glanced at Auden. He did have a way to prove that this painting was created five years ago. Unexpectedly, Auden directly changed the topic.
This is a lot less fun!
"Your Highness," Lin Zhiming looked at Prince Wesley and said, "You have always had a deep understanding of Master Millsap's works. Since two paintings appeared today, please identify them.
A painting is real!”
"Here, I can help you take a look!" Wesley said, got up and walked to the two paintings, lowered his head and looked at the paintings.
"These two paintings, judging from the overall feeling, are actually very real. Whether it is the technique or the color combination, they are full of Master Millsap's personal characteristics. However, if you look carefully, you can still see some differences.
There's a difference!" Wesley said.
"Then which painting is real?" Natalie asked nervously.
Wesley said nothing and looked back and forth between the two paintings many times. Then he raised his head and looked at everyone present.
There was a proud smile on Auden's lips. There was no doubt that his painting was real, because he stole it from Natalie's safe, and the painting in Lin Zhiming's hand was
He had someone copy it!
"Among these two paintings, Mr. Lin Zhiming's painting is the authentic work of Mr. Millsap!" Wesley said after a few seconds of silence.
A smile appeared on Lin Zhiming's lips, and Natalie hugged Lin Zhiming excitedly and cheered.
Auden was stunned. He never expected such a result.
My painting is actually fake?
How is this possible? His subordinates specially went to Natalie's safe to make this painting. How could he be fake?
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, Your Highness, how could this painting of mine be fake?!" Auden asked excitedly.
"What, are you questioning my ability to appreciate Master Millsap's works?" Wesley asked with a frown.
"No, you are not telling the truth." Lin Zhiming looked at Auden and said, "Mr. Auden, do you really think that the painting you sneaked into Natalie's room and stole from the safe is real?
"
"You, what do you mean, sneaking into Natalie's room? I don't know what you are talking about!" Auden shook his head.
"Everyone, when I obtained this painting from my friend, I accidentally learned that someone might want to subcontract this painting of mine, so I had someone copy the same painting, and
According to the news, this painting will be placed in the safe in Natalie's room." Lin Zhiming said and looked at Auden.
"I don't understand what you are talking about!" Auden said with a strong face.
"I actually didn't know what methods the other party would use to deal with me. It wasn't until Mr. Auden took out a painting like mine that I finally understood. It turned out that they were planning to subcontract my painting and let me take it.
A fake painting is given to the Duke, and they paint the real one themselves, so that I can lose all face!" Lin Zhiming said.
"You are slandering me. I did not subcontract your painting at all. The painting I took out today can only be said to be a coincidence, and I am also a victim. I also spent a lot of money to buy this painting. You
You can't just slander me like this!" Auden said excitedly.
"Whether he is slandering you or not, you will know immediately." Lin Zhiming sneered.
Auden's heart trembled slightly, and he felt that something was going to happen.
As expected, Lin Zhiming looked around and said loudly, "Everyone, to be honest, when I knew that someone was trying to trick me, I kept an eye out. I had someone copy a fake painting, and I added some words to the fake painting.
The boxes are all coated with invisible fluorescent powder. These fluorescent powders are extremely sticky and cannot be washed off even if they stick to the human body. As long as you shine it with a highlighter, these powders will glow blue.
"
After saying these words, Lin Zhiming took out a highlighter from his pocket.
"I believe that when Mr. Auden lets someone get the box I put in Natalie's safe, he will definitely open the box himself to see what's inside, so... Mr. Auden's hands at this time
There must be fluorescent powder!" Lin Zhiming stared at Oden and said.
Auden's face turned pale instantly.
When he got the box before, he did open it himself, and even took out the paintings inside and looked at them for a while.
If it is true as Lin Zhiming said, then there will definitely be fluorescent powder on his hands.
"Mr. Oden, please extend your hand." Lin Zhiming said.
Auden instinctively hid his hands behind his back.
Such an action has explained everything.
"Oden, take your hands out!" Ryan Portman said coldly.
"Uncle, Lin Zhiming is talking nonsense. As a noble, how can I have people inspect my hands at will?" Oden said excitedly.
"If Lin Zhiming's testimony is wrong, then I will ask him to apologize to you later!" Ryan Portman said.
"No, it can't be like this!" Auden shook his head.
"Now, I can't help you here!" Lin Zhiming sneered, walked up to Oden in a few steps, grabbed Oden's hand, and then shined the highlighter on it.
A little bit of blue light suddenly appeared on Oden’s hand!?
Update Chapter 4, take down Oden so that you won’t feel uncomfortable~
