Even the wealthy teahouse owner looked pale.
No one knew what Lin Ran was doing. Is it because he couldn't argue that he was acting like a child?
At this moment, Lin Ran bent down, picked up the fragments on the ground calmly, and showed a fragment to everyone.
In order to let everyone see more clearly, Lin Ran walked around the venue.
This is a priceless dragon-shaped jade pendant, and it was smashed like this?
Even the wealthy teahouse owner looked pale.
No one knew what Lin Ran was doing. Is it because he couldn't argue that he was acting like a child?
At this moment, Lin Ran bent down, picked up the fragments on the ground calmly, and showed a fragment to everyone.
In order to let everyone see more clearly, Lin Ran walked around the venue.
"Chu jade is also an ancient jade. The biggest difference from new jade is the quality of the jade."
Lin Ran showed the cross section to everyone, "After thousands of years, ancient jade will be discolored. If it is really ancient jade, the inside will be the same as the outside, showing reddish brown."
"But everyone has seen it clearly. In the cross section of this jade, it is obvious that there seems to be a dividing line between the outside and the inside. It is too obvious."
Lin Ran finally handed the broken jade to the boss. He felt that the boss had a sense of justice and asked him to be a notary.
The boss was obviously an expert in playing with jade. He took a look and said, "Indeed, the color of this jade is uneven inside and outside. The outside is darker and looks deep, but the inside is bright and bright. It should be new jade not long ago."
Lin Ran nodded, he indeed found the wrong person.
The boss is not Mr. Lei’s trustee, and he has some knowledge about Jade.
Since ancient times, jade has been a plaything of the rich, and the common people naturally don’t know much about it.
The reason why he dared to smash the jade was because when he touched the jade, he had the feeling that he was helping Wei Chengbin fake Tang Sancai.
The patina formed by chemical raw materials often has an uneven and twisted feeling.
The patina formed by real time will give people a rounded and natural feeling.
Only those who often touch cultural relics can understand it.
Lin Ran's move just now was so bold that it shocked everyone around him.
But he also produced evidence.
Now, everyone is waiting for Mr. Lei to respond to Lin Ran.
Mr. Lei was a little panicked. Just as Lin Ran guessed, they were a professional counterfeiting team and even had a marketing team.
This deception first originated from neon, and they learned it from reading books.
At the beginning, he defrauded money in Hebei and Henan, but was not exposed.
So I became bold and returned to Yanjiao to continue to swindle money.
I plan to cheat a fortune and move to the southern market.
As a professional counterfeiting team, they will also check a large amount of information before making a fake.
Therefore, he could still respond to Lin Ran's question just now.
However, he didn't expect Lin Ran to be so bold and smash the jade pendant worth thousands.
Their method can only coat the exterior with pulp and cannot change the internal structure of the jade.
If they really had this ability, what they created would not be fakes.
For a moment, Mr. Lei's head was empty and he didn't know how to tell the lie.
The crowd became anxious and asked:
"Master Lei, why don't you respond?"
"What's going on with this jade? Did you make a mistake?"
"Why is jade in the hands of little brother?"
Everyone still has some questions.
But at this moment, Mr. Lei also sneered.
He originally wanted to continue the scam locally, after all, he only sold fifteen items.
Now that Lin Ran was disrupting the situation, if he didn't come up with a way to deal with it, he might not be able to leave the store today.
It would be useless even if he had subordinates. After a few days of getting along with him, he knew very well that the teahouse owner was not just an empty show.
"Mr. Lei, what are you laughing at?" the teahouse owner asked
"Mr. Zhang, as well as the fellow villagers present, please don't be fooled by the little brother." He spread his hands and said to everyone, "Everyone knows that in ancient times, jade was used to describe a gentleman, because even if the outside changes, the inside will not change."
"Actually, jade does have a clear color, but most of it is nephrite."
"The dragon-shaped jade pendant uses Dushan jade, also known as Nanyang jade, which has bright color, fine texture and high hardness. The most special thing is that there are few holes on the surface, which is comparable to jade, and naturally it is not prone to color change."
The teahouse owner nodded, he had also heard a little bit about Dushan Jade.
Although Dushan Jade is nephrite, it has the same characteristics of jadeite as jadeite.
He also hesitated a little, and what both sides said seemed to make sense.
A quarrel ensued among the crowd.
"The priceless dragon-shaped jade pendant was smashed like this? What a sinner of the nation."
"In my opinion, that doesn't look like the real thing."
"What do you know? It's the same quality as jade. Of course it won't change color easily."
After some debate, supporters emerged from both sides.
Lin Ran thought to himself that Mr. Lei was indeed an old Jianghu who could still come back to life even when he was in dire straits.
The teahouse owner looked at Lin Ran and said, "Brother, this evidence is not enough to prove that Mr. Lei's identity is fake. Do you have any other evidence?"
Lin Ran stood there, the dragon-shaped jade pendant was smashed, how else could he prove it?
"If you can't produce evidence, please apologize to Mr. Lei."
Lin Ran absolutely couldn't do such a thing to apologize to the liar.
Although he was reluctant, Lin Ran actually had a way to prove it.
Mr. Chen, one of the three senior researchers of the Palace Museum, lives in Yanjiao.
When I visited the museum yesterday, I learned that Mr. Chen was taking a day off and spending the past few days with his grandson at home.
If we can invite him here, we can definitely prove that Mr. Lei is a liar.
Lin Ran looked at Mr. Lei with a sneer: "Since Mr. Lei and Director Tang Lanxuan are senior brothers, he must also know the three elders of the Palace Museum, right?"
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Mr. Lei continued to pretend to be calm: "Of course, we often drink tea and study together, especially Mr. Chen. I also admire his knowledge of bronzes."
The names of the three elders are also rumored among the people.
However, what Mr. Chen is good at is not the study of bronzes, but calligraphy and painting.
But his words were unfounded, so Lin Ran simply nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Chen happens to be in Yanjiao today, so I called him and called him over, so we can catch up on old times together. What do you think?"
Lin Ran had Tang Lanxuan's phone number and could find Mr. Chen.
However, he was not sure whether Mr. Chen had time.
Lin Ran was a little embarrassed to bother Mr. Chen with this kind of thing.
But in order to save the teacher's reputation, he decided to fight.
Mr. Lei looked at Lin Ran and felt that he was just a kid who loved to brag. He raised his head and said, "Mr. Chen is currently doing research in the Palace Museum. He may not be able to make it in time. There must be a limit to bragging."
The teahouse owner was quite interested. He had long admired the reputation of the Three Elders of the Palace Museum.
If we can really invite Mr. Chen here, our teahouse will be considered a success.
And if that doesn't work, it can prove Mr. Lei's innocence.
He immediately said to Lin Ran: "If you want to make a call, I have one in my office. Please come with me."
"Mr. Lei, I'm going to make a phone call and I'll be back. Please don't leave." Lin Ranpi looked at Mr. Lei with a smile.
The teahouse owner said to the waiter: "What are you doing standing around? Say hello to Mr. Lei, I will accompany my little brother to make a phone call!"
