Chapter 8 has changed, it has really changed!
When Expert Zhou went to get the medicine, Zhang Yang was taken to the conference room next door by Officer Chen.
The room just now was full of things related to the case or confiscated, so we didn't dare let the suspect Zhang Yang in.
What’s interesting is that there was a small tail behind the two of them for no apparent reason.
"Miss Shen, why don't you go help your master move things?"
Officer Chen asked Xiao Shen who was standing at the door with a smile.
The response was a polite smirk.
Xiao Shen asked cutely: "Uncle policeman, can I have a chat with this little brother?"
"What to talk about?"
"It's just something about antiques." Xiao Shen responded.
"Sure, but I have to watch you."
"Okay, thank you, police officer."
After getting permission, Xiao Shen ran over and sat down opposite Zhang Yang.
"Little brother, your eunuch ancestor..."
"Hmm?" Zhang Yang frowned.
He now feels a little regretful that he has assigned his master's school to the Imperial Household Department of the Qing Palace.
Although it is true that I can use the tiger's skin to make a big banner, it is a bit difficult to say that I am the descendant of a eunuch.
"Sorry, I said the wrong thing."
Xiao Shen pursed his lips, feeling a little embarrassed.
She looked down at her notes and said again:
"I want to ask about your ancestor, Tukeng Duan."
"What skills did he pass on to you? Can they compete with those of the Palace Museum and Shengbo?"
Officer Chen was also very interested in this question, and he quietly came over.
Just as Zhang Yang finished speaking, he searched it on the Internet.
"Yu with a Crooked Mouth" and "Zhang with an Ancient Bronze Mouth" are real people.
Even characters recorded in official documents.
What Zhang Yang said just now seemed very plausible, as if it were true.
"Well, you want to know?"
Zhang Yang glanced at the two people beside him and smiled.
"I'm sorry, this is a secret that our sect has never passed down. Please forgive me for not being able to tell you."
"It's okay, it's okay. If I join your sect, can't you tell me?" Xiao Shen reacted quickly and said, "It's just a matter of becoming a disciple. I've already had more than a dozen masters. One more won't make much difference."
"I'm sorry, this sect only passes on the teachings to males, not females."
"Huh? You discriminate against us women?"
"It's not that we discriminate, it's the rule set by our ancestor. Our ancestor is, ahem, so it's normal for him to hate women, right?"
"Now that you put it that way, it seems to make sense." Xiao Shen nodded suddenly.
Officer Chen standing by almost vomited blood after hearing this, thinking, is this woman really that serious? She is so easy to fool.
"That……"
Xiao Shen wanted to continue asking something, but at this time Expert Zhou came back.
Zhou Xuelin brought a white opaque plastic box and placed it on the table.
"Copper acetate and ammonium chloride. They're all here."
"When does your show start?"
Zhou Xuelin sat down on a stool, folded his arms, and looked like he was watching a show.
"Don't worry, I have to find the base of the bronze ware first, otherwise where can I find the potion?"
"You want bronze ware, right? There's one in the next room."
"Teacher Zhou, this is not a good idea. Those are stolen goods." Officer Chen said with difficulty.
"It's okay. There are a few items that I'm sure are fake and will eventually be sent to the scrapyard. It's okay to do some experiments on them."
"Are you really sure?" Zhang Yang asked slowly.
To be honest, he was quite skeptical about the other party's level.
"Haha, then I don't have to worry about it."
"Anyway, if something goes wrong, I'll take responsibility," Zhou Xuelin said, pointing at himself.
The last sentence made Officer Chen nod his head with difficulty.
He took Zhang Yang and picked out a bronze ware from the next door that Xiao Shen had recorded as a fake.
The patina on it is very light.
I guess the counterfeiters were in a hurry to ship the products and didn't soak them in the medicine long enough.
Back in the meeting room, Zhang Yang started to take action.
He mixed the copper acetate and ammonium chloride solutions in a beaker with a dropper as if he was doing a junior high school chemistry experiment.
The ratio is probably 1:1.
Then use a cotton swab to apply the thin paste solution to the smooth surface of the fake bronze ware.
Zhang Yang deliberately picked an area with little rust, where the bronze color could be seen.
Allow to air dry and then reapply.
Repeat this process for about five minutes, and the bronzed area will now have some green color.
"It's changed, it's changed!" Xiao Shen shouted excitedly behind Zhang Yang.
"Indeed, verdigris has appeared." Police Officer Chen also agreed.
The only one who was not surprised was Zhou Xuelin, as he still had some knowledge.
He waited until Zhang Yang stopped wiping the medicine before saying:
"This color is wrong, it's different from your bronze tripod." "I know, don't worry."
Zhang Yang put the solution he had just prepared aside. Now it was time to apply the second layer of medicine.
This time it was a mixture of copper nitrate, ammonia and acetic acid.
……
"All right."
After applying the fourth potion, Zhang Yang clapped his hands and let out a long sigh.
Fortunately, I have improved my ability in aging to a higher level.
Otherwise, he really wouldn't have the confidence to imitate the aging effect of a dirt pit in half an hour.
"Wow, the colors are exactly the same!" Xiao Shen said in surprise.
Her fussing attitude made Officer Chen suspect that she was a spy sent by Zhang Yang to be with Teacher Zhou.
Didn’t you notice that when Zhang Yang applied the third potion, Zhou Xuelin frowned and kept silent?
It's obvious that the seriousness of the problem has been discovered.
"If you want some soil, I'll dig some from the flower bed outside the door."
"What do you mean, Mr. Zhou, do you need it?"
"No need." Zhou Xuelin said, biting his back teeth.
"Have I proved myself?"
"Okay."
"The main reason is that I am not good at identifying bronze artifacts. Ming and Qing porcelains are my specialty."
Zhou Xuelin found a reason for himself at lightning speed.
Zhang Yang wanted to mock him, but he held back when he thought that he would be asked to give his opinion later.
"Then the matter of my bronze tripod..."
Zhang Yang looked at Officer Chen hesitantly, wanting to say something.
The latter looked at Expert Zhou.
"Now it seems that it was indeed a fake made by you." Zhou Xuelin admitted helplessly.
It is difficult for high-quality imitation bronze ware to have problems with its shape, the main thing to look at is the rust color.
Now that the rust has been proven to be fake, there is no need for Zhou Xuelin to struggle. If he really sends it to a professional institution for inspection with machines, he will be the one who is embarrassed in the end. It is better to stop this farce here.
"Pretty!"
Zhang Yang shouted in his heart and clenched his fists hard.
I worked so hard today just for this sentence.
Now I finally don’t have to go to the detention center anymore.
But Zhou Xuelin is no pushover.
After giving his appraisal opinion, he changed the subject and immediately gave Zhang Yang an eye drop:
"Officer Chen, I think the police station should be more careful about people like him."
"These fake antiques are a big threat to our country's antique market. Many retired elderly people have lost their fortunes and even their families because of a fake bronze ware."
"I can even mistake the fake bronzes he made, let alone those old people."
"Am I right?"
"That makes sense." Officer Chen nodded.
"That doesn't make any sense!"
"You saw it wrong, isn't it because you have poor eyesight?" Zhang Yang said angrily.
He didn't expect that Zhou Xuelin had such a bad character.
It's a lack of martial ethics. He just puts the blame on others directly.
"I won't argue with you. Officer Chen, just be careful."
After Zhou Xuelin finished speaking, he waved his hand and signaled Officer Chen to take Zhang Yang away.
……
"Alright, alright, calm down."
Officer Chen took Zhang Yang out of the door and comforted him as they went downstairs.
"You slapped the expert in the face, so of course he has to say something to you, otherwise he won't be able to sleep tonight."
"When I close my eyes at night, all I see is the image of you applying the ointment."
"Hahaha." Zhang Yang was amused by what Officer Chen said.
"You are doing the right thing, so why bother with what they say? Isn't that right?"
"Yeah." Zhang Yang nodded.
He understood that Officer Chen was warning him.
After all, the other party listened to some of Zhou Xuelin's words.
There's no point arguing any further.
Anyway, as long as Zhang Yang doesn't commit any crime, the police can't do anything to him.
The two walked to the corridor on the first floor, and Officer Chen stopped:
"I still have something to do, so I won't send you off."
"Don't tell anyone about this case after you get out, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
"Understood." Zhang Yang nodded in agreement.
"Officer Chen, I have one last question."
"Well, you ask."
"I want to know, if the Internet police want to arrest me, will the case be handed over to you in the end?"
