The blue and white porcelain appreciation meeting was over, and it was already sunset. Professor Zhou watched the last guest's car drive out of the hall, and then came back to Yao Guang and others.
"Miss Phoenix, let's go to the study to talk." Professor Zhou led everyone to the study on the second floor. After everyone sat down, the blue and white porcelain vase was also brought over and placed on Professor Zhou's desk.
"Professor Zhou, there is no one else here now, you can tell me what's going on."
"That's right, I bought this blue and white porcelain vase from an antique shop on the pedestrian street in the financial district. I went to the financial district to do business that day. When I passed by the pedestrian street, I found that an antique shop opened there at some time. You know, I like these things, so I went in. The blue and white porcelain vase was placed on the bar. I fell in love with it at first sight. After a simple identification, I found that the blue and white porcelain was Xuande blue and white, and it was authentic. I liked it. It's amazing, I negotiated the price with the boss at that time, and finally settled the deal for 100,000 yuan." Professor Zhou lit a cigarette.
"100,000. Professor Zhou, you have picked up a big leak. Just another small blue and white porcelain cup costs more than this." Chu Tianyou said.
"Yes, Mr. Chu, you are right. When I asked the boss about the price, I couldn't believe it. After all, porcelain is difficult to preserve. There are very few that can be passed down to this day. It's hard to keep such complete ones. Even less. At that time, I thought the boss didn’t know his stuff, or that it was a real fake, but after I looked at it carefully, I realized it was the real thing. I also asked the boss if he had quoted the wrong price, and he said he would sell it to me for 100,000 yuan.” Professor Zhou took a puff of cigarette. "I was also very surprised at the time. I asked many people to identify it and came to the conclusion that it was indeed authentic."
"How long did it take for you to find something wrong with the blue and white porcelain after you brought it back?" Yao Guang asked.
"It was about a week after I asked you to come back. At first, I had nightmares while sleeping. I always dreamed that I was locked in a closed space, surrounded by earthen walls, and there was a raging fire inside. I was trapped in it and couldn't get out. Come on, I struggled in my dreams, but every time I woke up, my body couldn't move, as if my body was suppressed by something. It would take a long time before I could move. Later, I dreamed of a woman, all over her body. It was all fire, pulling me into the fire. For nearly half a month, I was troubled by nightmares, but suddenly one day, I stopped having this dream. I was lucky at the time, but then, the house started to be haunted. .
"Haunted." Xuan Chen frowned, "What kind of trouble is this?"
"At first, the collections on the third and fourth floors would move on their own. For example, a bronze would appear in the cabinet with the porcelain cup, and the porcelain cup would go to the shelf again. I thought the new guard had remembered the wrong collection. I misplaced it, and later I found out that it was not the case at all. I only have the key to the collection room, and the guards could not enter without my instructions. That was unless I misplaced it myself. But in those days when I was doing academic exchanges outside, it was not possible at all. I didn’t go home. Later, I heard someone walking around in the building in the middle of the night. I asked the servant to check, but the servant found nothing. Then there were inexplicable footprints on the ground at home. I I thought there was something unclean coming in. After all, antiques are things that gather Yin energy, so I also paid someone to come and clean the house. But not only did it not work out, but the trouble became even worse. Some servants would be confused. After falling down the stairs, I asked him why he was careless. He said someone pushed him, and then the gardener said he saw someone walking around in the garden, chased him and found nothing, and then he was pushed into the fountain. The female members of the family were choked by someone while they were sleeping. When these things happened, I felt that the problem was serious, and then it was me. I was cutting fruit, and the lamp above my head suddenly fell down. If I hadn't escaped quickly, I would have been killed. It hit me on the head, and then when I was crossing the road, the red light was on, I was pushed out of the sidewalk by a hand, and was almost hit by a car. There were many other weird things like this. I was depressed, so I drank with Lao Zheng, When I told him these things, he said that Miss Phoenix, you are good at handling these things. Please help me. If this continues, my family and my life will be affected." Professor Zhou said, explaining The collar of his Mao suit was open, revealing his neck. There were obvious pinch marks on it, and his skin was blue and black.
Yao Guang stood up and walked over, carefully observing the pinch marks. Generally, pinch marks will appear red or reddish-purple, or at most blue-purple, because the human body's blood is always flowing and has the ability to repair, but this pinch mark is green-black. . "How long have you had this pinch mark?"
"It's been more than a week. In my dream, I dreamed that someone was choking my neck. When I woke up, I saw this pinch mark on my neck." Professor Zhou took a long drag on his cigarette.
"I haven't shown any intention of fading away for more than a week. Professor Zhou has something I want to ask you. Let me tell you first. Don't be angry when you hear my question." Yao Guang sat back on the sofa.
"You asked." Professor Zhou said.
"Do all the antiques you collect come from the right sources? Have you ever participated in any illegal organization, such as reverse fighting?" Yao Guang said seriously.
Professor Zhou was stunned for a moment when he heard this question, and then shook his head seriously and said: "Absolutely not. I generally only have three channels for collecting my collections. The first is that I purchase them at a high price, and the second is academic exchange, which means buying them with equivalent value." The third way to exchange antiques with others is to give them away. I have never participated in any illegal organizations or dealt with illegal channels. Why did Miss Phoenix ask, is my blue and white porcelain..." Professor Zhou seemed to understand something. He looked at the masterpiece in front of him in horror.
"You guessed it right, this blue and white porcelain vase is a local product, and it is hot." Yao Guang said.
"What kind of local thing is hot? What do you mean, Miss Fenghuang, I don't understand what you mean." Professor Zhou was a little stunned when he heard Yao Guang's words. He thought for a while before he understood: "Is it from the tomb? "
"Yes, this blue and white porcelain vase was indeed poured out from the ancient tomb, and it was not unearthed for a long time. After it was poured out, it only passed through one hand before it was in your hands. That's why I asked you." Yao Guang road.
"It's only been done once. Could it be the boss, but he doesn't look like him. He looks like a very clean person." Professor Zhou lit another cigarette. "Miss Phoenix, how did you know this was poured out?"
"It's very simple. There is a cold air on this porcelain bottle. This cold air does not come from ghosts or spirits, but a process of condensation. Let's put it this way, it means that the cellar has not seen sunlight all year round and has been closed for a long time. That kind of cold air." Yao Guang said.
"You are really amazing." Professor Zhou said.
"Whether it is this porcelain vase or your home, there are many different magnetic field fluctuations. Let's do this, Professor Zhou. We will stay here tonight to see what is the cause of this problem. You don't need to be nervous, we are here. , no evil spirit dares to make trouble." Yao Guang said seriously.
"Oh, thank you, Miss Phoenix. When the matter is settled, I, Mr. Zhou, will definitely reward you heavily." Professor Zhou was very happy when he heard Yao Guang said to help him deal with it.
"This is all a story for later." Yao Guang waved his hand.
"Then I will arrange guest rooms for you." Professor Zhou was getting ready.
"No, I'm afraid I won't have time to rest at night, so we can just stay in the living room. Professor Zhou has closed the door these days to thank guests. Don't receive distinguished guests until we find out this matter. I'm afraid it will cause complications." Yao Guang said.
"Okay, then I will instruct the kitchen to prepare food for you. I can't let you work hungry." Professor Zhou smiled and said: "Miss Fenghuang, may I take the liberty to ask, where do you work and who do you study under? ."
"You're welcome, I'm just a subordinate of Director Zheng. It's inconvenient to reveal who I'm studying under." Yao Guang smiled, she couldn't tell him that she was a god, and she couldn't give this little old man a mental illness.
"You are the police. It's really surprising that the police can do this." Professor Zhou said with a smile.
"Ah, Lao Zhou, you have such a bad memory. Didn't I tell you about Tianjian? Xuanchen and Tianyou are the two captains of Tianjian, and Phoenix is the special advisor of Tianjian." There was no word on the side. Zheng Ting came to the rescue. After all, it was better not to let outsiders know about Fenghuang's background.
"Oh oh oh, then I understand. Sorry, Miss Phoenix, I'll go give instructions to the kitchen and you can help yourself." After saying that, Professor Zhou walked out.
"Tomorrow." Yao Guang said a few words in Tomorrow's ear, and went downstairs to leave. Yao Guang and others also went to the living room downstairs.
