Tao Longyue and Xie Lanshan rushed to the Crane Art Museum, but they did not expect that an old acquaintance had already arrived before them. Especially Crane is standing in the back of the chicken flock, tall and straight, and can be recognized without looking at his face. Tao Longyue turned his head towards Xie Lanshan, lowered his voice and asked, "You told him to come?"
"Not yet." Xie Lanshan also looked at the man and smiled slightly, "I have a good heart and a tacit understanding."
Standing beside Shen Liufei is Zhang Wenli, the executive director of the Crane Art Museum. He is in his forties, well-maintained, elegant and slender. It is said that he is also a painter. Unlike Shen Liufei, who has been filled with foreign ink since he was a child, he has been studying Chinese painting in a small way, but he has not achieved much. However, although the painting skills are average, the level of drilling camp is not bad. Now Zhang Wenli is the leader of the painting association here and the director of the Artists Association there. He has both administrative positions and social prestige.
Tao Longyue explained his intention, and he felt a little embarrassed: "It may be the girl who reported a false case, but it is necessary to confirm that everything is safe before the national treasure is launched."
"It should be, the security work of 'China Impression' still has to trouble the police officers." Zhang Wenli responded appropriately, and his attitude was very polite, "However, since this "Luo Shen Fu Tu" has not been officially returned to the country, it still belongs to Li Guochang. This painting is currently in the personal collection of Mr. He and has not yet been sent to the Crane Art Museum.”
Regarding the authenticity of the "Luo Shen Fu Tu", Zhang Wenli said that he couldn't help: "I am also impatient, and I want to see the national treasure as soon as possible."
Shen Liufei continued with Zhang Wenli's words and added: "There are nine paintings of the Goddess of Roses currently collected in museums around the world, and the version in Li Guochang's hands is the tenth, which has only been featured in Western media, and has been featured by Princeton University in the United States, specializing in Luoshen. The professor who studied the Futu of the Luoshen believed that it was an authentic work, and some domestic scholars and folk connoisseurs also went to the United States in person. Among them, there was a group of opinions that even if it was not an authentic work, it was the closest copy to Gu Kaizhi's authentic work." He paused for a moment, " However, the National Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee has not yet commented on this, and it will not be able to send someone to appraise the painting until it officially returns to China."
"So, a little girl has not even seen the painting with her own eyes, so it is impossible to know whether it is a fake or not." Everyone understands the principle of transparency, Xie Lanshan looked at Shen Liufei and asked his own question: "But since this painting is a fake, everyone understands it. It’s a lost national treasure, and it suddenly appeared abroad, and many scholars believe it’s authentic, so it must have a convincing birth, right?”
"It's up to our teacher Shen to teach everyone a good lesson." Zhang Wenli turned his head and glanced at Shen Liufei with a smile, but Shen Liufei didn't look away, it could be seen that he respected Shen Liufei a little bit, and even a little scared of him.
Xie Lanshan showed his thirst for knowledge, and smiled at Shen Liufei: "I would like to hear the details."
Shen Liufei said: "This painting of "The Fu of Luoshen" should be a lost calligraphy and painting of Xiaobailou, which is often referred to as a Northeast product in the Beijing antique circle."
Tao Longyue asked, "What Xiaobailou?"
"In the era of Japanese puppets, there was a small white building in the Changchun Puppet Palace, which was dedicated to the collection of antique paintings and calligraphy brought by Puyi from the Forbidden City." After the popularization, Shen Liufei continued, "In 1945, when Japan surrendered, Puyi withdrew from the Changchun Puppet Palace, leaving behind A large number of national treasures were robbed by the Guards. A Guard named Zeng stole many famous paintings and calligraphy, one of which is the "Luo Shen Fu Tu" in the hands of Li Guochang. The descendants of the Zeng family went to The United States, which was once a good development, was also on the verge of bankruptcy recently due to the economic recession in the United States, so the painting was taken to Sotheby's auction house, and it was auctioned by Li Guochang for $4.5 million, but he did not expect it at the time. It's possible that this painting is the real thing, or it's another imitation—"
Tao Longyue interrupted Shen Liufei, making a fuss: "A fake painting is worth $4.5 million?!"
Shen Liufei glanced at him lightly: "Imitation and counterfeit are two concepts, I think the little girl who came to report the case is probably confused, and now the "Luoshen Futu" in the Palace Museum in Beijing is a copy, according to Qianlong's "Shiqu Baoji" "The record was made by an anonymous painter in the Song Dynasty."
"She didn't mix it up, she said it was painted by her friend..."
"How is that possible?" Zhang Wenli laughed when he heard it, "I'm not considered a gifted and talented painter, but Teacher Shen is. Ask Teacher Shen if he can do it?"
Shen Liufei shook his head: "I can't do it."
Captain Tao thought about it, and also felt that the great Miao in the barren world decided to shut up.
Xie Lanshan was much stronger than Tao Longyue, and raised reasonable doubts about this: "Assuming that Li Guochang's "Luoshen Futu" is indeed Gu Kaizhi's original work, since the two "Luoshen Futu" are both collected by the Qing Dynasty imperial palace, why are the imitations recorded in historical records , but there are no authentic works lost from the Changchun pseudo palace? Could it be that Qianlong did not distinguish between true and false, and his appreciation was not good?"
"It's really possible. The royal collection of paintings is originally a mixture of authenticity and falsehood. Take the two volumes of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" in the Forbidden City in Taipei as an example. Qianlong believed that the "Zi Ming Scroll" was true, but the general view of later generations was different. A volume of "Useless Teacher Volume" is the real thing." Shen Liufei twitched the corners of his mouth and pulled out a very shallow smile, "Master Hongli deals with harem battles all day long, and he lost his sight when he saw the painting."
When Shen Liufei spoke, the surrounding staff were all fixated on their eyes, looking longing. There were also some scattered tourists who came and went, and they all stopped in their footsteps. His voice was low and soft, coupled with his rich knowledge, it was very comfortable to hear.
The captain of the dignified serious crime team is not a fool, Tao Longyue has his own taste: "But it is also one of the top ten famous paintings. What I paint is the folk customs of the mountains and rivers of the motherland, and the pattern is really small."
"It's not small, let's see what you think." Shen Liufei looked at Xie Lanshan, "Life is both long and short, some people think about the distance, some people look around, and some people just want to find that person—whether they live one day or all, that person, It's the South when it snows."
Shen Liufei's eyes were different from those of the past, gentle and sad. Xie Lanshan was soaked in these eyes, and a strange emotion fermented in his heart, which quickly made him feel embarrassed.
In order to break this awkward atmosphere, Xie Lanshan suddenly asked, "Why did Li Guochang show such a surprised expression when he heard your name that day at the fight bar?"
Shen Liufei twitched the corner of his mouth lightly, and his expression returned to normal: "You have to ask him about it."
