"teacher."
Zhu Changping turned to look at Li Mo who walked into the ward, followed by Chen Feng, the president of Millennium Shengzang Group. The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, but he still couldn't speak.
"Brother Daxia, grandpa can't speak yet. It will take a period of treatment to gradually restore his speech function."
Zhu Caicai quickly explained.
Li Mo held Zhu Changping's hand and said, "Teacher, just cooperate with the treatment with peace of mind. We will take care of everything."
Zhu Changping's expression gradually became calm.
"Have you found any experts in traditional Chinese medicine to coordinate your treatment?"
"Not yet. There are also Chinese medicine experts in the hospital. I'll consult later."
Zhu Mingcheng replied: "My dad was out of danger for a few hours, and the Chinese medicine experts at the hospital were not available for consultation today, so there is no Chinese medicine intervention for the time being."
"Then ask as soon as possible. I think Chinese medicine has unique effects in regulating and treating stroke. If the experts here are not able to help, I will invite a national expert to come and check the pulse."
"Thank you Mr. Li."
Li Mo turned to look at Cai Cai and said with a little dissatisfaction: "You didn't contact me immediately when such a big thing happened to the teacher. If I hadn't called the management meeting today and learned about it from my senior sister, I'm afraid I would have been kept in the dark. of."
"You were so busy, I didn't contact you." Cai Cai said a little aggrieved.
Zhu Mingcheng, who was next to him, also said: "Mr. Li, you have been busy at Jiugong Mountain recently, and because of the suddenness of what happened last night, we did not expect to contact you."
"No matter how busy I am, how could you not tell me this?"
The Zhu family was quite touched. Zhu Changping's student was really not in vain. He thought it was precisely because Professor Zhu recruited Li Mote to Peking University that he had such a god-like rise. Of course, this is Li Mo in their minds. In fact, even without Professor Zhu's special move, Li Mo's life would have undergone earth-shaking changes.
"Brother Daxia, let's go outside and talk."
Caicai pulled Li Mo out of the ward, and Zhu Mingcheng and his wife followed suit, leaving only Mrs. Zhu accompanying her inside.
"Are you still hiding something from me?"
"Brother Daxia, my grandfather's sudden illness may be related to a piece of writing he received."
Li Mo frowned and said in confusion: "Did the teacher make a mistake and become so angry that he got sick?"
"This is just a guess on my part. The calligraphy is in my car. I'll go down and get it for you to take a look at."
After Cai Cai finished speaking, she trotted away. Zhu Mingcheng sighed softly and said, "My dad was bored yesterday so he went to Liulichang for a stroll. He found a calligraphy on a street stall, saying it was Dong Qichang's calligraphy."
"Dong Qichang's name?"
Li Mo was a little surprised. If it was an authentic work, it would be a really good thing.
"My dad said that he had it authenticated on the spot and it was indeed authentic. He bought it for 88,000 yuan. But when he got home at night and took a closer look, his face suddenly changed and he fainted on the ground."
Li Mo thought for a moment and said: "If it is really Dong Qichang's original work, the starting price is several million. If the teacher spent 88,000 yuan to buy the original work, he must have made a big mistake. Let me take a look at the calligraphy later. Let’s talk about it later.”
A few people sat on the chairs outside and waited. In about ten minutes, Cai Cai came back with a roll.
Li Mo took it from her hand, came to the table and poured out the calligraphy from the scroll. He slowly opened it, and he could tell directly that it was a fake without using his special eyes, and it was definitely not Dong Qichang's original work.
"Brother Daxia, how are you?"
Li Mo threw the words aside casually: "Although the imitation is very similar, it is indeed fake. With the teacher's appraisal level, if it is not an authentic work, he will not spend 88,000 to buy it. Regardless of the teacher's illness It’s not related to this fake calligraphy. At least one thing is for sure, that is, the teacher was tricked and it was a serious mistake. In the antique shop, if you make a mistake, you will make a mistake. If you suffer a big loss, there is no way to get it back. .”
"Damn it, if I knew who was setting him up, I would definitely not be able to spare him."
Cai Cai clenched her fist and said fiercely.
"You can still cripple him? There is no way to hold the other party responsible for this matter, so you should take good care of the teacher." Li Mo glanced at her and saw that she was still angry and unwilling to give in, so he had to say: "In this world, as if Dong Qichang has the most calligraphy works. What if the teacher accidentally overlooked them."
"No way, who is Dong Qichang to have such great influence?" Zhu Mingcheng's wife asked in surprise.
"Dong Qichang was a famous calligrapher and painter in the late Ming Dynasty. He created the Songjiang School in painting. He was the first of the four great masters in the late Ming Dynasty. He created the "Dong" character and had a great influence on the Qing Dynasty. Like the later Kangxi The emperor studied his calligraphy. Emperor Qianlong also studied Dong Qichang's calligraphy in his early days, and also formed the Guange style of the Qing Dynasty. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, a large number of people were imitating Dong Qichang, so there were a lot of fake ones. "
"History has records: Dong Qichang's friends once told him that there are many anti-wear calligraphy and painting works of yours out there, and you don't care about them. Dong Qichang smiled slightly and replied, I don't need to care about them. The more fake ones there are, the more likely they will be. It makes me famous."
"So you have to be very careful when appraising Dong Qichang's works."
After hearing what Li Mo said, Zhu Caicai asked: "Brother Daxia, what do you think is the chance that my grandfather is mistaken?"
"I still think that the teacher has been tricked." Li Mo thought for a moment, "There are a lot of surveillance cameras in Liulichang. I will ask someone to investigate first to see if they can find any clues. Generally, people in this industry They all know the rules of the industry, and they are not afraid of being challenged later, so it is very likely that they are still staying in the Liulichang area."
"Brother Daxia, I will go with you when the time comes."
"Okay, let me investigate first." Li Mo and Chen Feng said goodbye and left after a while. Professor Zhu Changping only needs to rest now, and they will not be of much use if they stay here.
"Junior brother, where are you going?"
"I'm going to find Wen Jing below. She's the person in this field. She's the fastest to get things done."
"Then let's separate here. I have to go back to a meeting to discuss the two things you announced this morning."
Fang Wenjing has been promoted and is the deputy bureau of the Kyoto Public Security Bureau. It will definitely be easier and more convenient to ask her to investigate and monitor than to find someone yourself.
Li Mo's car drove to the entrance of the branch, and Fang Wenjing stood at the gate waiting for him in a police uniform.
"The car parked in the parking space inside. I have asked someone to bring out yesterday's surveillance. You can take a closer look later."
"okay."
Fang Wenjing waited until Li Mo parked the car, then stepped forward and said with a smile: "Wenxiu called me last night. The wedding gift you gave me is too expensive, and I can't accept it."
"Who said I would give it to you? Can I lend it to you to wear?" Li Mo said angrily, "Everyone has chosen a few pieces, and you are still worried that I will use this to tease you."
"Haha, the older you get, the bigger your temper becomes." Fang Wenjing didn't look angry at all. She stretched out her hands, "Look, I accepted those gifts, but I can't wear them normally. What if? It’s been locked in the safe at home, so what’s the point of keeping it?”
"Can't you keep it for your daughter?"
"What if I give birth to a son?" Fang Wenjing asked with a smile.
Li Mo said "Cheer": "Then keep it and give it to your daughter-in-law in the future. In the future, your daughter-in-law will be able to hold you in the palm of her hand and be filial to you."
"It seems I can't accept it. We are treating you to a treat tonight, so you can't refuse."
The two walked towards the office. Li Mo asked as they walked: "What does your husband do?"
"My university alumnus is an expert in criminal psychology. He works in the same branch as me. You can see it later."
"It's good. We can work and live together day and night, and we can stay together forever."
Fang Wenjing clenched her fist and was about to hit him, but he dodged it.
"You brat, how dare you hide."
"Wen Jing, why didn't you notify Professor Li when he arrived?"
When Li Mo heard the news, he saw a tall man in his mid-thirties.
The man came over with a gentle smile.
"My husband Xia Zihuan." Fang Wenjing quickly introduced him. Li Mo reached out and shook hands with him and said with a smile, "I haven't had time to wish you two a happy wedding."
"Hahaha, the certificate we got last year doesn't count as a newlywed."
Xia Zihuan gives people a good feeling. Although he will not be the kind of person with great future, he is a good choice as a husband.
"Zihuan, I'll take Professor Li to check out the surveillance. Let's have dinner together tonight. You can book a restaurant."
"good."
Someone was there to help. Fang Wenjing said hello to the police station in Liulichang and quickly obtained the surveillance video. Because Professor Zhu Changping cannot speak, he does not know his route and time of action. He can only see if the blind cat can hit the dead mouse first.
"These are all videos from yesterday after 12 noon. You can watch them one by one. I won't accompany you for now."
"You go ahead, I'll be fine by myself."
Fang Wenjing personally made him a pot of tea and brought it to him. Everyone who came in and out of the police station was shocked. When they all knew who the person inside was, they suddenly showed a look of realization.
After reading for more than two hours, Li Mo walked out of the office when the police station was about to get off work.
"How's it going? Did you gain anything?"
Fang Wenjing was about to come over and add some hot water to him.
"I have found the clues. I will go to Liulichang tomorrow."
"That's fine, let's go together."
Xia Zihuanding's restaurant won't be particularly high-end, but the dishes here should be more special, because the business inside is very popular, and the occupancy rate is already 80% after six o'clock.
"This restaurant's large pots are well made. The environment is not that great, but the taste will not disappoint you."
The three of them chose a place near a corner, not saying who they were avoiding.
"Professor Li, come and order."
Xia Zihuan handed the menu to Li Mo.
"Mr. Xia is too polite. Just have some. I don't have any taboos."
Fang Wenjing picked up a menu and said with a smile: "Lao Xia, we are all old friends. Don't be polite to him, otherwise he will think that our relationship is a bit distant. Let me order some, a pot of Northeastern goose and a pot of fat fish head , then a plate of boiled edamame, a plate of blood sausage, a platter of Northeastern old sauce, and three bottles of fruit wine first."
"Wen Jing, why don't you have some white wine?"
Fang Wenjing waved her hand and said with a smile: "Professor Li is good at everything, but his drinking capacity makes people dare not compliment him. Let's just drink some fruit wine. The fruit wine we ordered was discovered by Professor Li in Kuncheng. Now it is light. It’s a famous brand in wine. You’ve tried it a few times and you’ve always said it’s pretty good.”
"And I haven't heard you mention this before." Xia Zihuan smiled and said, "So, Professor Li finally lost all our hard-earned money."
"Hey, I didn't know you also liked this kind of light wine, otherwise it would be no problem to send you a car every year."
All three laughed.
This old restaurant with Northeastern flavor is really good, and the "dish" he invested in is also Northeastern flavor, so I don't know if it can beat the competition.
"Professor Li, I haven't asked you yet, why are you checking that surveillance video?"
The three of them ate cold dishes first and chatted while eating.
Li Mo put aside the teacher's matter.
"Even a great expert like Professor Zhu failed. It seems that the other party committed the crime in a gang. They used some kind of deception in front of Professor Zhu to deceive him."
"No matter what the method is, the rule of the antique shop is to keep the money and goods clear. A mistake is a mistake, and there is no accountability. So I will try it tomorrow. Maybe I can meet that group of people again."
"Do you need my help?"
"Forget it, there's no point in killing a chicken with a sledgehammer. I'll take care of this trivial matter by myself. Come on, let me take this first glass of wine to wish you two a son and grow old together."
"Thank you Professor Li."
. . . . . .
The next day, Li Mo Congshen
When he woke up from his sleep, his son Li Junyang was sitting next to him, staring at him. Seeing him wake up, he clapped his hands happily.
"Did the child wake up too early?"
Qin Sirui was folding clothes. Hearing this, he picked up Jun Yang and said, "He went to bed early and woke up early. Didn't you say you were going to Liulichang today? I read on the news that a conference was being held there these days. The annual Antiques Festival should be particularly lively.”
When it came to business, Li Mo immediately got up and put on his clothes: "Yesterday, Fang Wenjing and I drank a little too much, so we slept pretty well this time. If you're okay, come with me for a walk."
"Forget it, you are already very attractive when you come alone. If I show up again, I really can't imagine what uncontrollable things will happen in Liulichang. When you leave, dress up a little, especially your Open your face and find a way to destroy it. I'll take care of this and clean it up for you."
Half an hour later, Li Mo looked in the mirror. Not to mention, he drew thick eyebrows, put some moles on his face, and put on a mask and eyes. If you weren't particularly familiar with Li Mo, you wouldn't know it at first glance. Recognized immediately.
"Si Rui, who did you learn this makeup technique from?"
"You're self-taught, okay?"
Li Mo gave her a thumbs up: "That's quite good. Now I can go to the Liulichang Antique Festival with confidence."
