Chapter 406: The monk can't run away from the temple

Zhao Chengzhi rushed to Zhouzhang Antique Shop half an hour later.

He looked thirty-five and thirty-six years old, with a pale face and a scholarly look. Looking at his expression, Zhou Xuan couldn't tell whether this person had any ghosts. It's a pity that he didn't have the mind reading skills of Ma Shu. Although other functions are far less than his own superpowers, they are the most powerful weapon in interacting with others.

After asking Zhao Chengzhi to sit down in the inner room, Zhao Chengzhi glanced at the few people present. Zhou Xuan was too young and didn't look like the protagonist, but there were only two old men. One looked like a foundation, and the other was Lao Wu, who was responsible for himself. Could it be that Lao Wu still needs to be tested?

Although Zhao Chengzhi muttered in his heart, he took out the paint tube without saying a word, opened the lid and took out the paint scroll inside.

Spread it on a long table, the painting is about two meters wide and about one meter two meters high. The painting style is elegant, and at first glance, it feels good.

After Zhao Chengzhi unfolded the painting, he looked at Lao Wu. Then Lao Wu introduced to Zhao Chengzhi: "Mr. Zhao, this is the appraiser we invited, Mr. Zhou!"

Zhou Xuanluo nodded slightly, and didn't say anything. He stood up and walked to the table. He naturally stretched out his hand and gently pressed it on the screen. He secretly used his superpowers. He immediately sensed some images in his mind. He checked and compared these images to see if there was anything useful to him!

Zhao Chengzhi was still a little surprised at Lao Wu's introduction to Zhou Xuan's words. Could it be that such a young man is not very good? Just look at the expressions of Lao Wu and his friends towards him, you can tell that this person has some status.

But Zhou Xuan's attitude made Zhao Chengzhi very unhappy. He didn't say anything and pretended to be very big. What difference could he tell from his appearance?

Zhou Xuan of course understood that Zhao Chengzhi had already determined that this was a fake, and what he asked for was to get compensation as soon as possible. As long as Lao Wu wants to settle his mind privately and keep his reputation, that's easy to say. Moreover, from Lao Wu's attitude these days, it seems that that kind of meaning.

After touching the scroll for a while, Zhao Chengzhi and Lao Wu were both very surprised. Zhou Xuan's method of testing paintings was not moved by others. He always looked at them with his eyes, but he mainly touched them with his hands.

Zhou Xuan almost touched the entire scroll, then he retracted his hand, pondered for a while and said, "Mr. Zhao, that's OK, I've already identified it!"

Zhao Chengzhi was stunned and asked, "Has it been tested? Then is this painting true or false?"

"The painting must be a fake!" Zhou Xuan answered decisively, then turned around and said, "But it will take several days to get a definite inspection report!"

Zhao Chengzhi frowned and said, "Why will it take a few more days? Didn't the author personally come to identify it? Doesn't he count his own paintings?"

Zhou Xuan said lightly: "Of course it doesn't count. If you want to say something, the author personally appraises it. Of course, the accuracy is the highest, but whether the author himself has anything to do with you or Mr. Wu? This is one point. Besides, Mr. Wu and the author Mr. Luo Baishan know each other. Given the personal interests, the author's appraisal words cannot be used as evidence. This has already been precedent in many cases, and the author's appraisal cannot be used as evidence."

Zhao Chengzhi was stunned. Even the author's own identification could not count, so when would he have to get compensation? Fortunately, Zhou Xuan did not say that this painting was not a fake, which was still beneficial to him. But what he couldn't figure out was that since this person named Zhou was invited by Lao Wu, why didn't he speak for themselves? He also said directly that this painting was a fake painting?

Zhao Chengzhi hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Then...what do you mean? Should you pay or not?"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "I am giving you an opinion. The testimony made by the author himself cannot be used as evidence completely, but there is an appraisal that is the most useful. It just takes a few days to use that method to identify the results, so there will be no problem!"

Old Wu was shocked and suspicious on the side. He didn't understand what Zhou Xuan meant. These words could be said to have harm to him without any benefit. Why did Zhou Xuan help Zhao Chengzhi to punish him like this?

After hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Zhao Chengzhi was also confused and wanted to know what Zhou Xuan said, but he felt that Zhou Xuan would not tell him. After he hesitating, he asked: "Then... what is that method?"

Zhou Xuan did not hide it and said lightly: "Writings, Mr. Luo's paintings are a combination of calligraphy and painting, and the painting skills are not certain, but the inscriptions and calligraphy above are obtained through technical identification!"

Zhao Chengzhi and Lao Wu both suddenly realized, but Zhao Chengzhi was happy, while Lao Wu was worried.

Zhou Xuan's handwriting is indeed a key point, which also reminds Zhao Chengzhi. Anyone who knows a little bit understands that handwriting identification can be used as legal evidence. There is no certain standard for painting identification. Moreover, this painting is modern, which is different from ancient times. Antiques must be identified through the years, old drawings, etc., but modern paintings are hard to say. If Lao Wu must insist on it, even if Zhao Chengzhi asks experts to identify it as a fake, it will not be so easy to win. But if he passes the handwriting identification, it is iron evidence!

It really woke up the dreamer. Zhao Chengzhi smiled and rolled up the painting and put it in the barrel, then said goodbye: "I'm leaving, Boss Wu, I'll get the handwriting identification results and come to talk to you later!"

Zhou Xuan was right. Zhao Chengzhi immediately understood the reason why Zhou Xuan said how many days it would take. It took several days to do handwriting identification. This requires authoritative people, such as the technical appraisal department of the public security organs. If they ask them to help identify the handwriting, they can get it done. By then, Lao Wu would have no choice but to pay him three times the amount.

Zhao Chengzhi left in a hurry, and it seemed that he was very anxious.

After Zhao Chengzhi left, Zhou Xuan immediately called Lao Wu: "Old Wu, go, come with me somewhere!"

Old Wu stood up a little depressedly, not knowing what Zhou Xuan meant, and he helped outsiders and didn’t help him!

Annoyed, Zhou Xuan walked out of the store. On the side of the road outside, Zhou Xuan reached out to stop a taxi, pulled Lao Wu into the car quickly, then pointed the driver in a direction and said, "Master, go there, hurry up!"

After the driver drove the car, Zhou Xuan smiled at Lao Wu and said, "Old Wu, are you angry? Haha, don't worry, I have found some clues. I asked Zhao Chengzhi to identify the handwriting. It seems that he will win. In fact, I just asked him to spend two more days. With these two days to give us, we can get the results we want!"

Old Wu was stunned and then said happily: "Really?" Although he asked this, he looked at Zhou Xuan's indifferent smile and immediately understood that Zhou Xuan must have a clear idea, but he was also a little confused. Zhou Xuan had just heard of his explanation and had not investigated it, so he only saw the fake painting. What can this work?

Zhou Xuan waited until the car drove to the traffic light, and pointed to a car two or three meters away and said, "Master, please help me follow the white Toyota in front."

At the intersection of red lights, more than a dozen cars were parked. The white Toyota was not at the front, and even the number was blocked by the cars behind. However, these parked vehicles were not Toyota's brand, so it was easy to recognize.

As soon as the green light was on, the car in front had already started slowly. After passing the intersection, the driver drove the car faster because the Toyota in front was also driving faster.

The distance between the two cars was closer, only seven or eight meters. Looking in from the rear window of the Toyota, there was only one driving person in the car. The driving person was on the side of the turn. Old Wu could see clearly and couldn't help but say surprise: "Then... isn't that Zhao Chengzhi?"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said nothing. Old Wu was stunned for a moment before saying, "Xiao Zhou, are you trying to... want to find a breakthrough in him?"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Old Wu, the painting you first collected was real, but it was not fake, but after buying it later, the real painting was replaced by Jiang Yu'e. Zhao Chengzhi and Jiang Yu'e are husband and wife!"

"They are couples? Then... it's impossible?" Old Wu was stunned and then said, "Xiao Zhou, how do you know that they are couples?"

Of course, Zhou Xuan couldn't say it, but just smiled and pointed at the front and said, "Old Wu, don't be anxious, you'll understand after a while!"

How could Old Wu be without rush? However, Zhou Xuan said this, and he could only suppress his mood and wait. The driver drove along the way to Zhao Chengzhi's car, and Zhao Chengzhi in front did not notice it at all, and probably didn't pay attention to this matter at all.

Of course, Zhou Xuan got the information from that painting. Fortunately, there were very few people touching the painting. After selling it to Lao Wu, it was sealed and no one touched it again. Later, because it was recommended by Lao Wu, the Huihuang Auction House did not appraise it again, which allowed the information on the painting to be completely preserved, otherwise Zhou Xuan would still find it difficult to obtain the information.

Therefore, Zhou Xuan could not guarantee that he could get clues from the painting at the beginning. This was just one of his starting points. If he could not get the clues he wanted on the painting, he would have to search for Jiang Yu'e through Fu Yuanshan from the public security system.

However, he was indeed lucky. The information Zhou Xuan received on that painting not only affected Jiang Yu'e, but also images of Jiang Yu'e and Zhao Chengzhi together, and even intimate images on the bed. Zhou Xuan learned from it that these two people were in the same group, and this was a designed trap.

What Zhou Xuan had to understand was whether there were other people behind Zhao Chengzhi and Jiang Yu'e, and whether it was assigned by his enemies. However, Zhou Xuan probably could not have sent it by his enemies. After all, he didn't have much time to show up in the antique shop. In fact, Zhang Jian was the decision in the store. Most people don't know that the store was owned by Zhou Xuan, and those who Zhou Xuan had offended didn't know that it was.

If you take action against the jewelry company, it would seem like you would have to punish him. Think about this amount. Even if it is three times the original purchase price, it would be only a 10 million figure. If you want to frame Zhou Xuan, let alone 10 million, even 100 million, it would not be able to touch Zhou Xuan's roots, so Zhou Xuan estimated that he would not be the one who came directly to deal with him.

After thinking about it, the biggest possibility is that the two scammers were randomly beaten by accident.

This scam is still of some level. At least it is not something that people who don’t understand this industry can do. However, Lao Wu was deceived and saw the original work at the beginning. He was excited and bought it at a low price. Although he was staring at Jiang Yu'e’s place, he must have relaxed his vigilance. Then he changed the original paintings for Jiang Yu'e. Later, he waited for Lao Wu to get the auction house for auction, and then asked her accomplice Zhao Chengzhi to buy lies, so that he could use a fake painting to get three times the compensation for a fake painting. The previous sales of paintings cost more than 700,000 yuan, and a total of more than 10 million yuan in cash, but the real paintings are still in their hands. Everyone wants to do such things.

Even if you call the police, the police are unwilling to settle such cases because it is a business dispute between Zhao Chengzhi and Lao Wu’s antique shop, and they either go to the court or negotiate in private.

Zhao Chengzhi had never appeared before. All he did was buy fake paintings and demand compensation legitimately. These were legal and reasonable. Lao Wu wanted fame or money? But even if he didn't have fame, he had to sue. As Zhou Xuan said, he only had to do a handwriting appraisal and confirm that the painting was a fake painting, and they would definitely lose, and they had to pay three times the price according to the contract!

All of these made Zhou Xuan get images from fake paintings, and he deserved the bad luck of Zhao Chengzhi and Jiang Yu'e. As long as Jiang Yu'e disappeared and showed up, where did Old Wu go to find her? Moreover, Old Wu has no photos and clues, and there is no way to find her. Jiang Yu'e's name is fake. The house was rented temporarily in the past, and it was like the evaporation of the world. It was impossible to find her.

Just after meeting Zhou Xuan, a special person, Jiang Yu'e and Zhao Chengzhi's plan revealed a flaw. Of course, for others, this flaw is not a flaw, it is a big one, but no flaw. It is the police who come to investigate, without clues, photos, real names, and address. How can I check it?

Zhou Xuan went through these situations in his mind, but he didn't talk to Lao Wu, but just gave him peace of mind.

Old Wu was still feeling up and down, uneasy, staring at Zhao Chengzhi's car. He didn't know where Zhao Chengzhi was going, whether he was going home or to find an expert to identify the handwriting?

Zhao Chengzhi's car finally drove into a community. When the taxi Zhou Xuan and Lao Wu were taking entered the community gate, the security guard stopped him. Zhou Xuan leaned his head and said, "We are from Building 77!"

The security guard immediately waved his hand to signal in. The security guard looked at the person's momentum. If you acted very majestic or fiercely, they would not dare to stop him. Even if you were your owner, but your appearance was not good, he would stop him.

Zhou Xuan's superpowers had already locked Zhao Chengzhi's people. After parking the car downstairs, Zhou Xuan immediately asked the driver to stop the car. After paying the car, he took Lao Wu around to the front of the building and found a hidden place. Zhou Xuan condensed the superpowers into bundles and detected Zhao Chengzhi's whereabouts. He went to the eleventh floor and entered Block B on the left, took out the key and opened the door. The woman in the room should be Jiang Yu'e.

However, Zhou Xuan did not tell Lao Wu, and this was not easy to explain, so he simply didn't say it. When Zhao Chengzhi and Jiang Yu'e discussed it, the two went to find an acquaintance to get involved in the public security bureau's appraisal handwriting. When he detected that Zhao Chengzhi and Jiang Yu'e were about to go downstairs, Zhou Xuan quickly said to Lao Wu: "Old Wu, wait for Zhao Chengzhi to go downstairs, you can confirm whether the woman with him is Jiang Yu'e!"

"Oh!" Old Wu replied, but thought again, how could he know that Zhao Chengzhi was coming down? How could he be sure that there were women who followed Zhao Chengzhi down?

Although Lao Wu didn't understand, it seemed like a coincidence that Zhao Chengzhi actually walked out of the building again, and there was really a woman with him.

However, Old Wu's eyes were presbyopia, and he couldn't see the woman's face clearly when he was far away. He could only wait until Zhao Chengzhi and the woman were really closer to him before he could see clearly.

Fortunately, the greening facilities in the community are very good. The place where Zhou Xuan and Lao Wu hide is a long, one-person-high bush. Looking through the cracks of the bush, Zhao Chengzhi and the woman approached. Zhao Chengzhi pressed the remote control key in his hand, and the white Toyota car called out, then opened the door and got on the bus. The woman went around to the other side of the car. This side was almost two meters away from Lao Wu and Zhou Xuan, and there was only a small bush between them.

Old Wu looked carefully. Although this woman was wearing different clothes, her face was the woman sold to him to paint, and it was Jiang Yu'e!

Although Lao Wu is presbyopia, the antique industry has always been an eye-training industry, and he can never forget the characteristics of people and objects. Therefore, when Jiang Yu'e approached them, Lao Wu recognized it at a glance. He could guarantee that it would be Jiang Yu'e!

Zhao Chengzhi started the car and drove out of the community. After the car turned around, Lao Wu said hurriedly: "Xiao Zhou, it's Jiang Yu'e, that woman!"

At this time, Lao Wu was truly sure that he was fooled by these two people. They were in the same group, and this was a total scam!

But Zhao Chengzhi and Jiang Yu'e drove away, how could they keep up? There was no car.

Old Wu jumped out and said anxiously: "Xiao Zhou, their car is driving far away. You have to find a car to follow, otherwise you will not be able to keep up if you are late!"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Old Wu, don't chase them anymore. Just confirm that these two people are in the same group, then it will be easy. I will ask my friend to deal with this matter and ensure that there will be no news of the news."

"But...but... how can you know if you don't follow them..." Old Wu said anxiously, but Zhou Xuan immediately interrupted him again.

"Old Wu, as the saying goes, monks can't run away from the temple. Since we know their address, what else do we have to worry about? Don't worry, I'll do it all. Let's go, let's go back!"

After leaving the community, Zhou Xuan took out his cell phone and called Fu Yuanshan on the pedestrian road.

"Brother, it's me!"
