When Mr. Zheng asked about the whereabouts of the plum bottle, Mr. Pan's face turned red, as if he was very embarrassed. He looked at Jiahao and said: "Old Zheng, Old Deng, to tell you the truth, that piece of porcelain is out of stock."

Something went wrong.”

His voice was so low that no one around him could hear what he was saying except for a few people around him.

"Is there something wrong?" As soon as these words came out, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Deng couldn't help but look at each other. They were mainly here for the large bottle that was a national treasure. Now they heard Mr. Pan say that there was something wrong with the thing. How could this happen?

Don't let anyone be surprised.

"Yes!" Mr. Pan nodded solemnly, "There is a big problem! Mr. Zheng, since I have invited you two here, I still need your help to clarify this matter."

"What happened?" Mr. Zheng became more and more frightened as he listened, and said, "Is it that serious? Could it be that something went wrong accidentally when moving things? A blue and white plum vase of such a large size is extremely valuable.

I estimate that if you send it to an auction company, it will fetch at least hundreds of millions!"

"We all know this!" Mr. Pan frowned and said, "It's not that the things are damaged, but..."

At this point, he paused and stopped talking. It took him a long time to calm down his panic and explain the matter clearly. He only said: "... Xiao Yao saw this matter, and now Lao Chen sent him to

We went to find Wang Hai, and we have put that piece of porcelain away and must not display it again!"

Listening to him talk about the situation of the blue and white plum vase, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Deng could hardly believe their ears. Jiahao Jingran could tell at a glance that the item was not genuine, and he pointed out the genuine item that had been swapped.

whereabouts.

"It's so audacious to steal a national treasure!" After hearing this, Mr. Deng said angrily.

At this moment, they were all very excited. Mr. Zheng turned to look at Jiahao. He Qing could read his eyes and nodded knowingly.

Since Jiahao pointed out this matter, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Deng naturally took it seriously. They understood Jiahao better than anyone else. If they were not completely sure, Jiahao would not have said that.

"Master Zheng, Master Deng, are you all here?! Welcome to come and give us guidance!"

At this moment, someone came over in a hurry, and it was the director of the museum, Director Lu, who greeted Mr. Zheng and the others warmly.

"Xiao Yao, right?" After shaking hands with Mr. Zheng and the others one by one, Director Lu looked at He Qing and said solemnly, "I need your help to explain this matter. Is it convenient for you now?"

Jiahao nodded without hesitation and said, "Convenient."

"Then let's go in and talk." Director Lu said politely. After that, he invited Jiahao and Mr. Zheng to enter an inner room next to the exhibition hall.

"Old Zheng, look, that piece of porcelain is the blue and white plum vase that was just unearthed. What do you think?"

After walking in, Mr. Pan directly pointed at a piece of blue and white porcelain placed on the table and introduced it. The other party was a trustworthy person, so they didn't have to be taboo about anything.

The eyes of Mr. Zheng and Mr. Deng quickly covered the magnificent piece of porcelain, and some of them couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise.

"This piece of porcelain is very beautiful!" A man who followed Mr. Zheng and others in to watch praised, "The shape of the porcelain is correct, the color is full, and the decoration is exquisite. It doesn't look like there is anything wrong with it."

"This is just a superficial phenomenon." Mr. Zheng said disapprovingly, "A high imitation can also achieve this, such as 'Zhu Imitation', which is perfectly made without any defects. It cannot be made with the original characteristics of porcelain.

Instead, we should start from other aspects.”

After that, he and Mr. Deng came closer to inspect, and both took out high-power magnifying glasses and turned them around to identify them carefully.

"Masters, how are the things?" Director Lu asked anxiously.

Mr. Zheng turned around and said, "It's hard to say."

He suddenly walked up to Jiahao, took him aside and whispered: "Xiao Yao, you said that piece of porcelain is a fake? Is it another 'imitation'?! But where is the 'leak' in it? We

After looking at it for a long time, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it. Whether it is the shape of the vessel, the glaze, or even the decoration, it is very consistent with the characteristics of Ming Dynasty blue and white, and there is no flaw at all!"

"It's not a 'Zhu imitation'." Jiahao shook his head and said, "But it's also a high imitation, probably made in the late Qing Dynasty."

Mr. Zheng and the others could not see the problem with the piece of porcelain. Jiahao was a little surprised. He thought that Mr. Zheng and the others would not be able to make mistakes with their eyes. Who knew that they would not be able to tell. From this, it can be seen that the piece of porcelain

The maker of the porcelain is as good as the "Zhu imitation" group, and the porcelain making skills are almost the same. No wonder the appraisal experts from the entire museum are collectively impressed.

"I believe in your eyesight." Mr. Zheng said solemnly, "But we have to provide evidence, otherwise we will not be able to give an explanation to Director Lu and the others, and it will be difficult to recover the stolen national treasure porcelain!"

Jiahao smiled faintly and said calmly: "Master, don't worry, I will find a way to point out the flaws in that piece of porcelain!"

Hearing what Jiahao said, Mr. Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief. He didn't need to worry about it anymore.

At that moment, Jiahao and Mr. Zheng walked back to the porcelain. Since neither Mr. Zheng nor Mr. Deng could directly point out the faults of the fake plum vase, Jiahao had no choice but to do it himself!

"Xiao Yao, what did you say?"

When Jiahao approached the blue and white plum vase, Director Lu came up and asked, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Deng had already looked at the piece of porcelain, but in the end no one could find anything wrong with it, and they all thought it was "just right"

"It doesn't look like a faulty piece of ancient porcelain.

At this point, Director Lu and others became even more suspicious. They thought that maybe Jiahao had misunderstood and mistakenly regarded a genuine Ming Dynasty official kiln porcelain as a fake. Otherwise, there would be no problem at all. Deng

Lao Dingjin is a master in this field, and there shouldn't be any problems with the items they have appraised.

"Director Lu, don't be anxious first." Jiahao said calmly.

"But..." Director Lu became more and more anxious when he saw that he was still looking calm, and said excitedly, "Mr. Deng and the others just checked, but they all said that things came from all directions.

There are no flaws at all, which is in line with the characteristics of Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain."

Jiahao nodded and said: "Mr. Deng and the others are right. That piece of porcelain is very correct and has almost no flaws. But an imitation is an imitation. No matter how well it is made, it is still an imitation!"

What he said was extremely firm and confident.

Seeing how confident he looked, Director Lu and the others looked at each other. Even Mr. Zheng and Mr. Deng, they didn't know where the other person's confidence came from.

However, Mr. Zheng and everyone present who were familiar with him knew very well that he would not have said such a thing if he had not been absolutely sure, but he has not announced the results yet.

So under this situation, Jiahao became the focus of the audience. Everyone's eyes were fixed on him, eagerly waiting for his answer.

"Xiao Yao, that plum vase is perfectly made. What is the problem?!" Mr. Deng also stepped forward and asked.

"Mr. Deng, it's not that you can't tell, but it's just that the work is so exquisite." Jiahao said seriously, "It's just like 'Zhu Imitation'. The technique of making it is so vivid that it can be confused with the real one, so it is difficult to distinguish it. You can only

It is determined by looking for flaws such as defects on it. This porcelain is actually similar. It is also a high imitation, made by a porcelain master in the late Qing Dynasty. If it were not for a master who specializes in this type of high imitation porcelain, it would still be

It’s really hard to see. But since it’s a replica, it has flaws.”

"Where is the flaw?!" Director Lu asked impatiently.

Listening to the meaning of his words, Director Lu and the others understood that he had discovered the flaw in the high imitation, so their hearts were suddenly filled with anticipation.

Jiahao did not directly answer Director Lu's question, but took two steps towards the piece of porcelain on the table, then pointed at the large bottle and said: "Masters, I believe you have already seen clearly, this piece of porcelain is

At first glance, the porcelain looks stunning and flawless, but in fact it is not the unearthed national treasure blue and white porcelain!

"I want to use conventional identification methods to identify this piece of porcelain. There are only a few methods. The first is to send the porcelain to a laboratory and use scientific identification methods such as carbon 14 testing to determine the specific age of the porcelain. However, the counterfeiting technology is too advanced.

Well, the counterfeiters have already taken precautions, so this method is probably useless. The second step is to look at the traces of soil erosion. After all, this is an unearthed cultural relic. You can start from the erosion traces of soil and water on it, but this method is useless because it was already

Someone has already tampered with it, making it flawless. Now that the thing has been cleaned to a certain extent, it is even harder to tell whether it is a collection or an unearthed cultural relic. The last thing is to look at the porcelain itself. Regarding this point, I

There is no need to go into details. All the masters here are experts and have sharp eyes. I would say that they are just doing their best. The porcelain itself is indeed beautiful. No problems can be seen, and I can't point out what is wrong with it."

"Ah? What should we do?" Hearing Jiahao's long words, Director Lu and others couldn't help but sigh. If you just say it like that, wouldn't it be the same as not saying anything? In the end, you still can't prove the origin of the thing.

There is no way to determine whether it is a genuine product or a fake, so all your work is undoubtedly in vain.

Director Lu became more and more restless. Jiahao made such a judgment but could not provide any evidence. This made Rui not feel anxious.

"In addition to the conventional identification methods I just mentioned, there is another method specifically used to identify high-end imitations, especially top-notch high-end imitations like 'Zhu Imitation'." Jiahao continued quietly.

Said, "That is to find the secret marks hidden on the porcelain, which is what is called 'leakage' in the jargon. Some leaks exist on the surface, and some leaks are inside the porcelain. If there is an inner wall of the porcelain, it is located in a place that cannot be seen by the naked eye.

, then there is only one way to find out, break the porcelain into pieces and search directly on the fragments."

"What?! Is this impossible?!" Before Jiahao could finish his words, Director Lu couldn't help but said, "Xiao Yao, I'm not absolutely sure that this piece of porcelain cannot be destroyed.

, even if your guess is correct, this porcelain may be a fake, but what if your guess is wrong? What is broken is a national treasure worth hundreds of millions, and we cannot afford this responsibility!"

He thought that Jiahao wanted to take a risk and smash the precious porcelain into pieces, and then look for the so-called "leak".

But Jiahao laughed, shook his head and said: "Director Lu, you are too nervous. Of course I will not do that. Even if it is a high imitation, it has great collection value. If it is destroyed, the loss will be huge."

Not small."

"Xiao Yao, what's the flaw in this piece of porcelain?" Mr. Zheng couldn't bear it anymore and asked anxiously.

Jiahao solemnly replied: "Master, there is a leak, it exists inside the porcelain."

"It's really inside?! Then what should I do?! How did you see it?!" Mr. Zheng said in surprise. Not only him, but everyone present at the moment made a sound of surprise. Just a moment ago, Jiahao said

There is no need to break the porcelain, but at the next moment he said that the leak in the high imitation exists inside the porcelain. In the end, it is not a method that requires a huge cost.

Director Lu and others would naturally disagree with this.

"After all, there is still no way to prove the true origin of this porcelain!" Director Lu sighed, with a look of disappointment clearly showing on his face, thinking that Chen Qin and the others valued the rut Wei Qianyi in front of them too much.

Such a young person obviously overestimated the opponent's strength. It was just his guess that the national treasure was a fake. The young person's imagination was really rich.

"Although the mark exists inside the porcelain, I don't need to destroy this porcelain. I have a way to prove it to you." Jiahao said loudly, "But I have to trouble Director Lu, can you send me two mirrors?"

Come on, a small mirror will suffice. One of them should be as small as your finger, long and slightly smaller than the mouth of a plum bottle."

"What are you doing with a mirror?!" Director Lu and the others were all surprised, but Director Lu still followed He Qing's instructions and called in to quickly fetch two mirrors. One was very small and rectangular, which could fit into the plum vase.

In a small mouth.

Jiahao started working after taking the lens. The next thing he had to do was to put the evidence in front of Director Lu and the others, leaving no room for doubt.
