Chen Ao smiled slightly, pinched the inner wall of the ring and said, "Mr. Master, look carefully, do you find that the oil is uneven?"

Zhou Zheng squinted his eyes to look at the inner wall with a serious expression, as if to convince Chen Ao, or as if to convince himself, and said, "Maybe...maybe it may not be worn."

He also knew the problem that Chen Ao pointed out, but he was still unwilling to accept this fact.

The family heirloom that had been circulated for hundreds of years was in his hands and was actually dropped...

Chen Ao shook his head: "Wear is impossible. There is only one explanation. The oil is temporarily added. In addition, looking at the turquoise, it seems that the craftsmanship from the Wei and Jin Dynasties is used on the outside, but when you look closely, it is obviously a counterfeit. How dare you ask the Duke, is there a cross-cutting method in the Wei and Jin Dynasties?"

The cross-cutting method is a craft for cutting gems. It was not popular until the early Tang Dynasty. Before that, most of them were mainly flat grinding. Although this turquoise had scratches, when you look closely, there were traces of the cut surface. Chen Ao guessed that the only possible manufacturer used the cross-cutting method to save effort and then used the cross-cutting method to create this turquoise.

There was no cross-cutting method during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, which is important evidence that Chen Ao concluded that it was a fake.

Zhou Zheng looked carefully. He didn't pay attention to it. At this time, he looked at the turquoise water chestnut, and his face looked like earth. He said, "Just three months ago, I invited some tastings to everyone to watch this ring. They all confirmed that it was the authentic one. Why... why did he change it to someone with a fake one?"

Chen Ao thought about it and suddenly remembered a method of committing crimes. This method was actually his first inventor. He deliberately pretended to be an appraiser, forged the appraiser's qualification certificate, and listed an office.

In this way, the treasure appraisers come to Chen Ao in groups of three or three to identify. If they encounter a precious treasure, Chen Ao will deliberately tell the customer that the authenticity cannot be determined for the time being. If they come again in a week or half a month, the customer will leave with the baby, but Chen Ao used this time to create a fake. When the customer brings the baby back, Chen Ao only needs a small trick to get rid of the fake and the authentic ones.

Afterwards, Chen Ao announced that the customer's treasure was a fake. When the customer left disappointed with the fake, he would not know that another priceless treasure had fallen into Chen Ao's bag.

Such a fraud method is very simple, but it is quite practical. Because most people who come to appraise treasures do not have the ability to appreciate them, they come with treasures in hopes that the appraiser can tell the authenticity of it. Chen Ao only needs to pretend, first deliberately said that he needs to check some information, delay time, and try his best to make fakes in a short time, so as to make the next plan.

Finally, the authentic product fell into Chen Ao's hands, and Chen Ao openly announced that the treasure identified was a fake. No one would suspect that Chen Ao had already dropped the treasure. Even if he suspected it, there was no evidence.

Chen Ao suspected that the ring was also thrown away, and his techniques were similar to his previous methods.

It seems that I have met a master.

Chen Ao sat down and said calmly: "Don't panic first, maybe I have a way to get the ring back."

After all, Zhou Zheng had seen strong winds and waves. At this time, he calmed down. After being panicked, his eyes turned into murderous intent and said in a deep voice: "If you find out the person who steals the ring, I will kill you quickly. Chen Ao, tell me what can I do."

Chen Ao asked: "The prince gave this ring three months ago. How many treasure appraisers were there at that time?"

Zhou Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Three, one is the Chief Censor Zeng, and one is the governor of Tanzhou who came to Beijing to report his duties. The other is a face-to-face person. He was recommended by Lord Yang, who said he was the first person to appraise treasures in Tanzhou."

Wow, it turns out that Zeng Sui'an's father is also a collector. Chen Ao suddenly felt that the world was really too small, and he was thinking in his heart that he was the chief censor. No matter how precious the treasure was, he would not dare to take it. After all, the other party was a duke. Once he discovered it, his bright future would be gone.

Another governor of Tanzhou must have come to curry favor with Zhou Zheng, and it can be ruled out for the time being. However, the last one of the first treasure appraisers in Tanzhou is the most suspected. After all, this person has no official position and is not worried. He happened to encounter this treasure and felt greedy.

Zhou Zheng also became suspicious and asked, "That man seems to be named Wang and named Wang Zhuzi. Do you also doubt him?"

Chen Ao said: "Duke can you know where he stayed in the capital?"

Zhou Zheng smiled bitterly: "At that time, I only talked about talking to Mr. Zeng, and didn't care about him, so I didn't ask much."

Chen Ao said: "If he was really a treasure thief, he would definitely stay in Bianjing."

Zhou Zhengdao: "How can I see it?"

Chen Ao said: "This kind of treasure is extraordinary. It is too hot to hold in your hands. You must get rid of it as soon as possible. And the city of Bianjing has the most dignitaries, and there are many people who can afford the price. Moreover, this person must have arranged an insider with the prince. Once the prince notices something strange, he will escape from Bianjing at any time."

"Insider?" Zhou Zheng's eyebrows became solemn. The family rules of the Duke of Qi's mansion were strict and the servants performed their duties. Unexpectedly, there were people who were familiar with others! It was outrageous!

Chen Ao said, "If there is no inner support, this person will never sneak into the inner mansion and get rid of the bag. Then it is certain that he must have bribed the most trusted person around the prince to perform his plan."

Zhou Zhenghe nodded: "Yes, the most trusted person, let me think about it."

The so-called closest person is the one who has the most chance to commit crime. Zhou Zheng thought to himself: "Who else can move my ring besides Mrs. Heng'er and Ruoer? By the way, there is another one." His eyes opened, a hint of coldness flashed across his face, and said: "When I take a shower, this ring will be handed over to Director Zhao for a while. Could this person be Director Zhao? It's great, I'll ask him to come, but I want to ask him, why does the public servant treat him well, why does he do such a thing as consuming and out of the way?"

Chief Zhao? Is it him?

Chen Ao couldn't help but gloat in his heart. Character is very important. Although he looked like a pity that he was a loyal servant who fell into depravity, he was thinking darkly about the scene where Master Zhao was stripped of his body and pulled him to light the chili water on the sky lantern.

The old guy, I was playing tricks on me, Chen Ao, and I finally got the handle today. Let's see how I will kill you.

Chen Ao's three views are sometimes very positive, but sometimes they are very distorted. The biggest difference is that of friends and enemies. He has nothing to say to his friends, but if it is an enemy, Chen Ao would not have so many kindness. He would never stop if he didn't kill the other party, and then step on his feet and step on ten thousand feet.

"Make me a bad thing? Say bad things from behind me? You're dead!"

Chen Ao thought about it, but quickly calmed down and said, "It is inappropriate to interrogate Master Zhao now. Master Zhao will admit this matter? He must be very clear that once he admits this matter, he will die. If he loses his mouth and denies, there is still a glimmer of life. As long as he grits his teeth and refuses to confess, we can't do anything about him. Once his accomplices outside the mansion find it wrong, they will be afraid that they will escape immediately. At that time, although Master Zhao can solve it quickly, it is difficult to retrieve the ring."

Zhou Zheng was a little confused because he lost his heirloom, otherwise he would not have been so impatient. After hearing Chen Ao's reminder, he looked at Chen Ao deeply and thought to himself: "This young man is not simple, smart, smart, knows the art of identification, meticulous thinking, and has read books. You can't be too slow in the future."

Who would have thought that Chen Ao's words made Zhou Zheng love talent? Chen Ao continued: "Besides, the accomplices outside his mansion are by no means ordinary people. He dares to change the family heirloom of his father, which proves that this person is very brave. He can also create a fake in a short time. It can be seen that he is very smart and skillful. It is not easy to come up with such a seamless plan. In my opinion, he should be a very cautious person. He does nothing and will never leave any flaws for others. If he wants to grab him and get the ring back, he can only be smart."

Chen Ao also admired the art thief behind the scenes. It was a very pleasant thing to be able to fight with such masters with perfect plans and superb skills.

"Okay, let's try it out. See if the thieves in the Song Dynasty are powerful, or the thieves in later generations are stronger. The waves in the Yangtze River push the waves in the front, your mother, you should be damned on the beach!"

Zhou Zheng asked: "How to get ahead of your wisdom?"

Chen Ao smiled slightly: "Have you heard of fishing law enforcement?"

Zhou Zheng was confused, but saw Chen Ao smiling and said, "Please rest assured, just half a month is required. Chen Ao will definitely find the ring for the grandfather and return it to Zhao intact."
