Chapter 329 We are more like artists!
Liu Jingfeng's home actually has a basement, and the entrance is hidden under the sofa in the living room!
Lin Ran was stunned, and Liu Jingfeng quickly explained: "Haha, in this business we will inevitably be targeted by others. If we are discovered, we will be in trouble."
The two walked into the basement, which was extremely dark and cool.
The basement is nearly [-] square meters and is surrounded by shelves.
There are various items on the shelves, including many iron swords that were unearthed last time.
It looks like a small museum!
If you just look at the appearance, you would think that Liu Jingfeng is a person who worships foreign things and loves foreign things. There is no decoration with any oriental elements in his home.
In fact, he was trying to avoid being seen and heard, and the real mystery lay beneath his house.
Liu Jingfeng guided Lin Ran to a large table. On the table were the cultural relics they unearthed a few days ago, including various bronzes and jades, which were neatly placed. The dazzling array was particularly pleasing to the eye.
In contrast, in the Huaner Villa, all the Tang Sancai colors were used, and the northern tomb robbers couldn't help but feel a little strange, but they couldn't explain why.
Lin Ran picked up a tiger-patterned bronze fou and looked at it over and over.
There is no record of this cultural relic in the history books. It was obviously sold privately by the tomb robbers after the Nishimura Tomb was stolen.
He couldn't put a value on this bronze fou, but this cultural relic filled the gap in China's understanding of the drinking utensils used by princes during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty!
After checking other cultural relics, they were all in good condition. Just as Liu Jingfeng said, if this batch of goods were sold, the total value would be more than 100 million!
"Despite the small size of the tomb, there are quite a lot of valuable things." Liu Jingfeng picked up a bronze cup and looked like he couldn't put it down.
He was indeed a little jealous, but unfortunately these were cultural relics belonging to the museum. They were obtained under Lin Ran's guidance, so naturally they could not be kept as his own.
Lin Ran saw his reluctance and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the museum will apply for funds and we won't let everyone's work go in vain."
But he also knew that the museum would definitely not spend 100 million to buy this batch of goods.
Being able to get one-fifth is definitely because of Tang Lanxuan's hard work.
"It's okay. The West Village Tomb belongs to the country. We are just mercenaries. We just need to pay some hard work." Liu Jingfeng shook his head.
Others knew it too, so they didn't care about the value of the cultural relics.
Hearing this, Lin Ran showed a look of relief.
It was really different from the northern tomb robbing team. They almost had a fight over the distribution of money, and there were all kinds of intrigues.
But here, knowing that the cultural relics belong to the museum, they only received a guaranteed hard-earned fee and decided to judge!
"When will the things be sent to the museum?" Liu Jingfeng asked. He had not cleaned the cultural relics yet, but just piled them all in the basement.
"Two more days." Lin Ran replied.
"Brother Lin, those tomb robbers didn't make things difficult for you, did they?" Liu Jingfeng then remembered that Lin Ran had faced the scarred man alone.
The northern gang of tomb robbers does all kinds of evil. It's lucky to go to the tomb with them and not get hacked.
So Lin Ran told Liu Jingfeng completely what happened in the mausoleum.
Hearing that they kept testing Lin Ran, only to be resolved by Lin Ran, I couldn't help but admire Lin Ran's wit and calmness even more.
"Actually, you also did a good job. The other party didn't realize that the tomb had been invaded." Lin Ran did not take all the credit for himself.
"Haha, we do things differently from them. They will only leave a mess, but we..." Liu Jingfeng laughed and said, "We are more like artists."
The two laughed tacitly.
The topic finally returned to the punishment of Warner.
"Brother Lin, although it was fun to defraud him of the money, after he returned, he found that these were fakes. He will probably come to China again to steal cultural relics in the future."
"Besides, Scar and his gang will know you by then. They are not broad-minded people."
Liu Jingfeng couldn't help but show a worried look.
Now it is perfect, but not all Canadian museums are vegetarians, and they naturally have their own identification methods.
According to Lin Ran, those batches of Tang Sancai were all imitations and there would definitely be flaws.
How could the other party be willing to be fooled?I'm afraid that after the matter calms down, Lin Ran will be asked to settle the score.
"It's okay, they will definitely find some flaws." Lin Ran smiled.
Yesterday, when he was appraising treasures, he secretly spotted the group of tomb robbers and secretly took away the cultural relics.
It's okay these days. They can move around freely. If nothing happens, the guy will probably go to Panjiayuan or Liulichang to sell the stolen goods.
Because Wei Chengbin was the first to sell fake Tang Sancai, if Tang Sancai were sold in Panjiayuan, it would definitely cause a sensation.
Just arrange for someone to keep an eye on Liulifang.
Once they are found selling cultural relics, they will immediately notify the cultural relics protection workers and arrest them. Then follow the clues and arrest the entire team!
"It's a good idea, but..." Liu Jingfeng was a little worried, "What if they don't come out to sell things?"
After all, tomb robbers are quite vigilant, and selling things on the spot is inherently a high-risk thing.
"Then we can only wait and see what happens." Lin Ran was actually betting. After all, he was not a god and could not predict other people's every move.
Of course, these cultural relics cannot be handed over to the Palace Museum until they are arrested and brought to justice.
Because there are spies inside, all cultural relics entering the museum must have their origins clearly stated.
How to punish the tomb robbers, Lin Ran decided to seek help from Tang Lanxuan.
We also need to get rid of Wang Shun in the museum!
"I'll leave the things with you first. I'll help you, Brother Liu, to keep them for a while."
Liu Jingfeng couldn't be happier and joked: "Don't say keep it for a period of time, I would be happy to keep it forever."
As a local master, he is not afraid that these cultural relics were dug out from the tomb. Although he respects ghosts and gods, he is not afraid of ghosts.
This is the dual nature of the Tufuzi!
After bidding farewell to Liu Jingfeng, Lin Ran walked around Liulichang for a while. Seeing that the time had reached four in the afternoon, he went to the Northern Wei Museum of the Palace Museum again to meet with the curator.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and headed to the office together.
On the way to the office, I unexpectedly met Wang Shun.
Wang Shun followed Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin greeted the curator and looked at Lin Ran curiously.
"Director, is this your friend? Why are you covering your face with a hat?" Mr. Qin suddenly became interested in Lin Ran, and Wang Shun also noticed him following behind.
It feels familiar, but I can't pronounce the name.
Tang Lanxuan explained with a smile: "This is my nephew, he is quite afraid of strangers, please forgive me."
Originally, he wanted to introduce Lin Ran to Mr. Qin, but he was surprised when he found Lin Ran tugging at the corner of his clothes behind him.
Is Mr. Qin a traitor in the museum?
The other party is very senior and has worked hard in the museum. How could he do such a thing?
Out of trust in Lin Ran, he chose to conceal Lin Ran's identity!
