Acting requires a full set of skills.
The eldest of the six suspects is in his forties and the youngest is in his early twenties. They were originally kept under separate custody, but now they are put into one room.
There was a TV that was playing the news in another room in real time. At this moment, Qin Fen carefully took out two pieces of porcelain from the safe and placed them firmly on a table. There were two burly men standing guard next to them.
After a while, Fang Wenjing walked into the room and saluted and said: "Captain, Professor Yu, the porcelain identification expert invited from Qingdao University, and four experts from Jinling Museum are here."
"Invite them in quickly."
Everything that happened was clearly played on the TV. After a series of identification procedures, the five experts discussed for a few minutes. Finally, Professor Yu said: "After our research and discussion, we agreed that these are two genuine items, but they are related to each other. A major case of national treasure theft must be handled with extreme caution, and it is recommended that another scientific appraisal be conducted."
"Professor Yu, before you arrived, we had already carried out carbon 14 testing simultaneously. As long as we confirm that they are all genuine, we will have enough evidence to take them to court."
"The theft of a national treasure is no small matter."
Professor Yu and others were politely sent away again, and the two porcelains were put back into the safe.
The six people involved in the case remained silent, except for occasional eye contact.
Li Mo was observing everyone's actions in another room at the moment.
Qin Fen and Fang Wenjing walked in.
"Captain Qin, there is something wrong with the oldest man. The others look at him from time to time, and he seems to be the backbone."
"I was afraid before that they would stay together and collude in confession, but now I hope they will take action."
Li Mo said with a smile: "Before, they were separated alone, and they had no idea and could only grit their teeth. Now, let them see the appraisal process with their own eyes, and put them together again. The longer they stay, the more thoughts they have in their minds."
"Li Mo, you don't stick to formalities in your work, what should you do next?"
"Divide them. Now go and interrogate that middle-aged man. Don't ask any questions. Just sit with him for half an hour and then send him back. Give him a separate meal in the evening."
Qin Fen glanced at Li Mo and thought to himself that this guy didn't follow the rules and was trying to plant seeds of suspicion in all of them.
"Wen Jing, make arrangements immediately. Well, the youngest one will be interrogated together. We will also have extra food in the evening, and if you want a big meal, the others can deal with it as they please."
Li Mo gave a thumbs up, Lao Jianghu was still more powerful.
Nothing happened to Li Mo next. After nightfall, Li Mo and other experts quietly left the stronghold. He didn't bother anyone else and found a hotel to stay at.
Now that we are near the Confucius Temple, if Captain Qin is fine tomorrow, he plans to go shopping in the old streets.
The next day, Li Mo was woken up by the ringing of the phone while still sleeping. It was Fang Wenjing's call.
It seems that I didn’t go to Bucheng Confucius Temple to hang out today.
"Officer Fang, are you okay with this early in the morning?"
"Your plan worked. We raided another secret stronghold of theirs overnight and found a total of ten porcelains. Four of them are identical in pairs. You and the experts need to identify them again."
"Okay, come pick me up."
When Li Mo walked into the warehouse again, he was startled by the battle in front of him. From the moment you enter, there are no longer hidden posts, but special police with guns, one post at a time. Everyone has very sharp eyes and looks at every new person who comes in vigilantly.
"How do you feel about this battle?" Fang Wenjing asked softly.
“My scalp is numb and I’m very stressed.”
Li Mo answered honestly.
"Hehe, isn't this what you had in mind! Several of them became suspicious and wary during last night's meal. After eating, we interrogated the young man again, deliberately making a little noise. In the middle of the night, this group of foreign special police officers Armed with guns, they descended like a heavenly host, intent on taking them away with murderous intent.”
"As a result, some people couldn't bear the pressure and broke down on the spot and asked for leniency."
"It seems that things are going surprisingly well, so will I be able to get out of it soon?"
"People can leave, but credit will be remembered first, and there will be bonuses."
Entering the safe house again, Professor Yu and four experts have arrived. They all have smiles on their faces at the moment. There are also two strange men in their fifties and sixties who are communicating with Qin Fen in a low voice.
There are ten porcelains of different shapes placed on the long table. In addition to the blue and white dragon-wen jars with entwined branches and the azure-glazed purple-red spots double-series jars, there are also four pairs of porcelains with the same appearance.
"Li Mo, let's drink some tea first. Captain Qin spent money today, let's all try it." Professor Yu waved, and Li Mo walked over and poured himself a cup. The tea was golden in color and fragrant.
"Has Captain Qin taken out the last bit of his inventory? Although this is not the top Wuyishan Dahongpao, the quality is very good and it is difficult to buy it on the market."
"Hahaha, they say you are known as the Golden Eye. It seems your reputation is not in vain. You can guess the type of tea just by looking at the color of the soup and smelling its aroma. It's amazing."
Several experts laughed. They must have contributed a lot to solving a major case this time.
"Li Mo, let me introduce two people to you."
Li Mo put down his tea cup and walked to Qin Fen.
"This is Director Shi Ziming of the National Museum, and this is Director Fu Wenjie of Jinling Museum."
They are all big guys in the antique world.
"Hello, Director Shi, hello Director Fu."
"Li Mo, I've never met you in person before, but your name is well known. To be honest, the last time I released news about Ming Hongwu's amphora, I took great credit from you."
"I was just lucky enough to come across that rare treasure. I have a little bit of credit for it, but in the end it was Curator Shi and other experts and professors who took the credit for the final identification. Mine is insignificant."
"too humble."
Director Fu saw that he was neither humble nor arrogant, and was somewhat mature beyond his peers. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Li Mo, you can't treat one with favoritism. In terms of distance, we are your neighbors. Don't encounter any rare national treasures next time." Forget about our Jinling Museum.”
"The master of the Talisman Hall thinks highly of me. Rare national treasures are not so easy to come across. But I'll give you some good advice. I will tell you first when I encounter it next time."
"Forget it next time, why don't you consider lending the Ming Hongwu three-clawed dark dragon and celadon-glazed amphorae to us for exhibition?"
"Director Fu, I haven't thought about this yet."
"Think more about it when you have time!"
"Two curators, why don't we finish things here first?" Captain Qin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Li Mo was much more attractive than him.
"That's right, let's do business first."
It was easy for Li Mo to identify these porcelains. He glanced over with his special eyes and distinguished six of the genuine national treasure porcelains.
One is a Yuanjun kiln azure glaze purple-red spot double-series jar, one is a Ming Jiajing blue and white jar with folded branches and cloud dragon pattern, one is a Song Ge kiln bile-style vase, one is a Song Ru kiln celadon glaze plate, and one is a Song Dynasty Ding kiln white glaze pure vase with dragon head and lotus pattern.
The last piece of porcelain emits red light in the sight of the strange pupil, and red haloes spread to all sides, indicating that it was still before the Song Dynasty.
However, looking at its shape and glaze color, a term came to Li Mo's mind: Tang Sancai.
