Charming Avalokitesvara

Chapter 6

Fu Zaiyu's bizarre suicide gave Shao Kuancheng a chance to re-examine these suicide cases.

Ah KEN, Jin Qin, Chen Zhuan, Fu Zaiyu.

On the surface, A KEN seems to have nothing to do with cultural relics, but he is the assistant of Lin Tao, the most powerful antique dealer in T City, and he is Lin Tao's trusted right-hand man.

What about Jin Qin?As we know before, he is an "elegant thief" who only steals treasures.But all such thieves have a very vicious vision and perspective, and the things they can steal must be rare in the world, or even unparalleled in the world.

The most typical example is the internationally wanted criminals in the archives of the Cultural Relics Inspection Brigade, which everyone knows but is kept secret--Sunny and Shine. The records of these two guys in the archives can be said to be fruitful, but they have stopped in the past half a year , I don’t know if there is any bigger action brewing.

Chen Zhuan is an associate professor in the Department of History. When he was in college, he published a paper entitled "Interpretation of Historical Relics from Bashu Symbols - Bashu Culture", which caused a sensation in the history research circle at that time.Since the two were classmates in college, Shao Kuancheng knew that in order to complete this thesis, Chen Zhuan conducted in-depth research on ancient cultural relics in private.

Not to mention the relationship between Fu Zaiyu and ancient cultural relics.

These four people seem to have no connection, but they are all pointing in the same direction, that is, curios and ancient relics, and the Avalokitesvara statue left at the scene makes this purpose even more obvious, which is the charming Avalokitesvara.

When it comes to Avalokitesvara, the first person who comes to mind is Yuan Yuan who disappeared mysteriously four years ago.

Yuan Yuan disappeared, and the four deceased were obviously unable to speak, so Shao Kuancheng decided to visit a person, antique dealer Lin Tao.

Lin Tao was less than 15 years old when he moved from his hometown to T City 30 years ago, and he was able to become such a powerful force in the antique shop in T City without the full support of Professor Wan.

Professor Wan is the most influential historian and archaeologist in T City, as well as a well-known antique collector in the country. This time, he has become a smash hit with the popular platform of the "Tang History Lecture Forum" series of TV lectures.

The relationship between Lin Tao and Professor Wan is not a secret, and many magazines and newspapers will bring them out and report on them from time to time.After Lin Tao photographed the purple dragon jade "Avalokitesvara" a while ago, he forwarded it to his mentor.The charming Avalokitesvara is now at Professor Wan's home.

But so what?

Sitting in the living room of Lin Tao's house, Shao Kuancheng thought, this matter was not announced to the world, it was just reported in newspapers and magazines, and he could not read these reports at all.After all, no one forced him to read these reports, right?So he sat on the sofa with peace of mind, unaware of how abrupt his unexpected visit was.

Lin Tao seemed to be answering a very important call, and he didn't come down on the second floor for a long time. Shao Kuancheng lay on the sofa, and he didn't intend to leave for a long time.

After being in a stalemate with each other for about ten minutes, Lin Tao finally hurried down the stairs, with a fake and polite smile on his face, and said repeatedly: "I'm really sorry! I kept you waiting for so long!"

Shao Kuancheng stood up the moment he saw him go downstairs. At this moment, facing Lin Tao's extended hand, he blushed and held it awkwardly, just like a college student who admired him.

"Lin... Teacher Lin, you... are too polite!" Shao Kuancheng was so nervous that his tongue was a little big: "I really like you, really! I read a lot of reports about you before, and I think your famous experience is simply A myth! I hope you don't mind my presumptuousness! I really... can't help myself! Because I like you so much!"

"You really make me feel ashamed when you say that." Lin Tao responded modestly on the surface, but in his heart he still felt that as long as he was a normal person, he would like such flattery. He even felt a little guilty that he shouldn't let this poor , Just blindly worshiping his "doctoral student in the history department of T University" and waiting for so long.

"Please sit down!"

"Mr. Lin! I didn't expect you to look so young!" Shao Kuancheng's left brain kept despising his hypocrisy, but his right brain quickly acted as a blind admirer: "Mr. Lin, I'm just like you. I came to study in T City from my hometown! Your success is simply the direction of my efforts! It is the guiding light on my life path! It is the lighthouse for me to travel in the ocean of knowledge!"

Lin Tao thought in his heart, poor child, because of his blind worship of me, his spirit is not normal.

However, this kind of person is also very common in life, isn't it?

For example, in the last two days, there has been a lot of uproar, the artist who knelt on one knee and worshiped the stick.

Lin Tao interrupted his praise at the right time and asked, "Tell me, what's your name?"

"My name is Shao Kuancheng!" See how sincere he is, even unconsciously imitating the other party when he speaks.

"Oh, Xiao Shao!" Lin Tao said kindly, as if he really was a wise elder: "You came to visit me, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Lin, the outside world has already reported a lot about your success history. I took the liberty of visiting today to know, can I see your collection with my own eyes?"

"This..." Lin Tao showed a embarrassed expression: "...you know, most of them are very expensive..."

"Yes, yes! I know this!" Shao Kuancheng showed a sad expression: "I also know that this request is a bit too much, but Mr. Lin, you are also from your hometown. You should understand a poor child like me who has never seen the world. When I first arrived in this bizarre metropolis, my inner desire..."

eager.

Lin Tao carefully smashed the word in his heart, and suddenly a bitterness gushed out.

"Okay, you can take a look at them." Lin Tao said, "But you can only look at them, not touch them."

"Okay!" Shao Kuancheng jumped up excitedly: "Thank you, Teacher Lin!"

Lin Tao's collections are all on the second floor. Compared with Fu Zaiyu, his collections are not so extensive, but they are small and exquisite, and each collection is expensive.

And Shao Kuancheng exclaimed again and again: "This! Is this 'Porcelain Mother'?!"

"It's just an imitation." Lin Tao said modestly: "One of the originals is in the Palace Museum, and the other is in the Taipei Museum. My one was just copied by Sun Yingzhou, Geng Baochang and the Ceramic Research Institute of the Ministry of Light Industry when Premier Zhou instructed Sun Yingzhou and Geng Baochang."

"My God! My God! It's amazing!" Shao Kuancheng exclaimed, "Is this a rubbing of "Lanting Preface"?"

"Yes."

"Ah! This! Ming Wanli's blue and white plum vase with phoenix pattern!"

Like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, Shao Kuancheng suddenly asked innocently after losing enough face, "Why didn't you see the 'Purple Dragon Jade Guanyin' that Mr. Lin took before?"

Then Lin Tao suddenly changed his face, but immediately returned to normal, but his tone was a little blunt: "I gave it to Professor Wan. How come you are my fan, don't you know about it?"

"Sorry, Mr. Lin! I really don't know!" Shao Kuancheng said sadly, "I thought I could see Yuan Yuan's last work before his death!"

Lin Tao's face suddenly turned pale, and he questioned him: "Who told you Yuan Yuan died?!" Even he himself didn't notice the sharpness.

Shao Kuancheng changed his innocence just now, and looked directly at Lin Tao's twinkling eyes: "So he is really dead, right? Teacher Lin."

"No, I don't understand what you're talking about!" Lin Tao said, "Boy! You should go!"

Shao Kuancheng glanced at the watch on his wrist, the hour hand was slowly pointing to eleven o'clock.

"I should go." He smiled and said, "Thank you for your hospitality today."

After Shao Kuancheng left, Lin Tao immediately slumped on the ground.

Who is this child who appeared out of nowhere?

Shao Kuancheng left Lin Tao's house, threw the motorcycle key into the sky with one hand, caught it, threw it up again, caught it again, took out his mobile phone with the other hand, and made a call.

"Captain, I won't be in the team today! I'll always ask you for a vacation!"

"Shao Kuancheng!" The voice of the captain of the Cultural Relics Inspection Brigade was still loud: "It's almost time for lunch! You just asked me for leave and said you would not come! Are you sincere!"

"It's because I have to show my sincerity before I dare to ask you for leave!" Shao Kuancheng said with a playful smile: "Captain, I'm really investigating the case. Although I can't report my progress to you exactly now, but When I find out all of this, you will know how sincere I am and how hard I have worked." He just didn't say that his goal today has been achieved.

"Stop playing tricks on me! Sooner or later, you will sew up your kid's mouth!"

The captain seemed to have despaired of Shao Kuancheng, so he didn't refuse his leave.

Because even if he refused, Shao Kuancheng would still be absent from work!

This little bastard!

Shao Kuancheng drove his motorcycle directly to Zhenwan Street, and packed two lunches at the snack bar he thought was the best on the way.

When they arrived at "Tianyi Pavilion", Du Huai'an was opening the boxes one by one to check if the goods were damaged.

But the truck driver looked impatient, waiting to take the money and leave, yelling: "Don't worry! I have been transporting goods for so many years, and I haven't had any accidents! Your things will not be damaged! You say You look like a twat, and you will be a twat no matter what you do!"

And Du Huai'an didn't seem to listen to his words at all, but continued to inspect the goods in an orderly manner.

"That's not right!" Shao Kuancheng parked the car, walked over with his lunch bag, knocked on the car door and said, "A few days ago, Widow Chen scolded the street, saying that a damn driver gave a valuable item to me during his delivery." It was broken, and I cursed the driver for two hours, cursing the driver to have no children and grandchildren, is it you? Why don't you call Widow Chen over to identify him?"

It's no secret that Widow Chen is coquettish and pungent.

Thinking of being dragged, scolded, slapped and scratched by her, the driver couldn't help shivering: "Okay, okay! Take it easy! It's okay!"

Shao Kuancheng put the lunch in the room, went out and squatted on the ground to check with Du Huai'an.

He noticed that among the batch of goods that Du Huai'an brought in, the most expensive ones were priced at several thousand yuan, but his vision was very professional, no less than that of Fu Zaiyu.

There are [-] pots of purple sand, and the market price is about [-].

The market price of the pastel pot with peach blessing pattern is about [-].

Qing Dynasty Qianlong famille rose painted golden imperial concubine drunk picture sunflower plate, the market price is about [-].

The most expensive one is the Qing Qianlong Sacrifice Red Glazed Celestial Ball Vase, with a market price of about [-] yuan.

One of the most important reasons why Shao Kuancheng insisted on helping Du Huai'an move was that through Du Huai'an's price tags on these items, he could tell who he was, whether he was honest or treacherous.

After all, two people are faster than one person, and the efficiency suddenly increases.

After ordering the goods, I paid the money to the driver. The driver muttered that he would never deliver goods here again, and drove away cursing.

When moving into the house, Shao Kuancheng took the opportunity to say to him: "These drivers are quite shy, don't mind."

"Well, I don't mind."

Shao Kuancheng felt that Du Huai'an was a bit cold, the kind of cold that would keep people thousands of miles away.

But thinking of his act of giving him a raincoat, Shao Kuancheng felt that his coldness was faking.

After moving the boxes into the house one by one, Shao Kuancheng put the disposable lunch box in the plastic bag on the table, and greeted him, "Let's eat first! The food made by this restaurant is delicious!"

"Thank you." Du Huai'an sat down on the chair and asked him, "How much is it? I'll give it to you."

Although I didn't refuse, it sounded more uncomfortable than rejection!

But Shao Kuancheng is committed to building a good relationship with every merchant in Zhenwan Street so that he can carry out his work in the future, so he said cheekily: "Don't! Haggle over everything! You look down on me too much!"

"That was not what I meant……"

"Then don't say anything like giving me money!" Shao Kuancheng blocked his words in time: "Hurry up and eat! There is still a lot of work in the afternoon!"

Du Huai'an pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he let out a barely audible sigh, opened his chopsticks and ate silently.

He was a little confused about what this little policeman was going to do, so he intuitively told himself that he should keep a distance from him.

But thinking of the popularity of this little policeman in Treasure Street and the frequency of his appearance here, Du Huai'an felt that it was almost impossible to keep a distance from him, and this realization made him feel very depressed.

Finally, he asked, "Don't you even have to go to work?"

Is this disgusting?right?

The villain in Shao Kuancheng's heart squatted in the corner and wept secretly.

"Use it!" Shao Kuancheng said with a hippie smile, "It's also one of my jobs to inspect the Treasure Street!"

The implication is that he is at work now, and he is not lazy.

It is estimated that the captain of the cultural relics inspection brigade will be moved to tears after hearing his declaration of "love and dedication"!

After eating a lunch with a weird atmosphere, the two took out the collections in the box one by one, wiped them clean, and put them on the cabinet.

Shao Kuancheng took a look at Du Huai'an's price. Although it was higher than the market price, it was not much higher, and it was only within a range where he could bargain for buyers without losing money.

Shao Kuancheng re-examined Du Huai'an, a cold-faced and warm-hearted guy in his heart.
