Chapter two hundred and ninety-five [Smile]
"I mean, this is just a little trick of the Mechelen father and son. The old Mechelen made a fake painting that was enough to look real. In order to make this fake painting look like the real thing, the younger Mechelen painted another one. "The Last Supper" is the one in the collection of the Vienna Museum of Fine Arts. In order to allow experts to tell that it is a fake painting, Mechelen deliberately left some flaws, otherwise he could have done better."
Zhou Yi smiled slightly and said: "Although the Vienna Museum of Art is a secret collection, some top collectors know about it, which gives them preconceptions that this painting from Old Mechelen is authentic. After all, the old Mechelen's methods are so clever, even without the cover of the younger Mechelen, the experts will most likely be able to spot him."
"Young man, you can write novels. Your imagination is very rich..."
John laughed loudly: "It's a pity that after you said so much, it's still just speculation. Are the twelve top experts and the scientific testing methods of the Royal Academy of Sciences fake? Evidence! Do you have evidence?"
"The evidence is under the crystal glass, in this painting."
Zhou Yi smiled and said: "Do you know why you can't detect cobalt and cadmium? Do you know why this painting will not melt at high temperatures? Because Mechelen used the 'painting within painting' technique on this painting. He Use a canvas half thinner than an ordinary canvas to make cracks first, and then paint a "Last Supper". After a few months, cover it with another canvas and paint another "The Last Supper". "Dinner", so this painting will be half-fifty thicker than an ordinary painting, but it will not attract people's attention. Because Farmer is also used to using thicker canvases."
"This method of forgery requires the painter to have superb skills and keen sense. Once successful, the modern methods used to detect fake paintings will be ineffective, because with two layers of canvas, even if it is produced with cobalt and cadmium, it will be The paint is blocked on the painting below, and even a biopsy is of no use... Mr. John, do you still have any questions now?"
"Young man, you can perform a talk show now. According to you, the authenticity of the painting can only be tested by cutting it open? But if your judgment is wrong, who will make up for the loss?"
"If I am wrong, I am willing to travel around the world in my life to look for the top ten lost paintings in the history of Western painting! And I will compensate you for your losses at ten times the price!"
Zhou Yi chuckled, and before John could react, he walked to the painting in a few steps, picked up a chair from the dining table, and smashed it against the crystal glass frame.
"No! Stop him, stop him!"
"Come together and hold him!"
Zhou Yi's movements were so fast that everyone's eyes were blurred, and the expensive crystal glass frame was smashed to pieces. John was so angry that he almost carried it on his back and screamed for his men; Henry was also very anxious, he He and John are just grasshoppers on the same rope. If this painting is proven to be fake, although John will not get a penny, his work will be in vain. He did not lie to Zhou Yi. Weng Jian was so thunderous Now there is chaos. The old ministers are flirting with William and the others. His 'art casino' plan has also been resisted by most of the directors. If he cannot get the money, the kingdom he has just established will collapse. .....
He has no way out. His opponent is like a wolf hiding in the darkness. He may reveal his sharp fangs at any time. Zhou Jingjing's lawyer's letter was also delivered to him last weekend. His behavior with Emma Hu Tian and Hu Di have long been revealed.
Under the surveillance of this 'strong woman', just last week, when she spent hundreds of millions of euros to invite dozens of first-line female celebrities to come to Europe to hold an 'uncovered conference' on the Golden Coast, the Zhou Group hired a high-paying
The private detective had enough of an eye-sore, and worked very dedicatedly to produce a 'love action blockbuster' on the spot. This is definitely the 'otaku New Year's movie' with the strongest cast, a big production that would make even an old man's nose bleed!
More than a dozen men in black suits, as well as security guards who poured in from outside, quickly gathered around and intercepted each other, pulling hands and feet, pulling clothes, and there was a chaos in the restaurant.
"Swish swish——"
I saw figures flying around, and I don’t know what method Zhou Yi used. The people who touched his body were like small boats thrown up by the huge waves, screaming and flying out on all fours. The man in black suit and the security guards stood in front of him.
They were no different from pieces of paper. They fell to the ground one by one without knowing what happened.
"Zhan Yi Shiba Feng, such a profound Tai Chi Kung Fu, I still underestimated Brother Zhou."
A man dressed in short clothes, with a sharp face and eyes like eagles appeared beside Li Jucheng and Tang Bao at some point. He looked at Zhou Yi with a smile: "The second son of the Zhong family has offended Brother Zhou. I'm afraid it's a misfortune rather than a blessing."
, who made Boss Zhong have a friendship with me and saved my life in Thailand? I will always try to turn things around for them. It is better to be friends than enemies."
This man is none other than Guan Feng, Zhou Yi's mentor and friend. He exchanged martial arts with him at the Lantau Villa and taught him how to avoid bullets. Just now, the dozen men in black rushed in with toy guns. They could deceive ordinary people, but they didn't.
He couldn't be deceived. Guan Feng didn't take it seriously at all. He just stayed invisible to protect Li Jucheng and others. At this time, there was a chaos in the place. Zhou Yi showed his power and he showed up. Buyers from all walks of life in the restaurant were there.
Watching Zhou Yi show off his power, he didn't even notice that there was one more person.
Zhou Yi's body spreads out like a ghost, and he is not afraid to arouse surprise. All questions can be put to "Chinese Kung Fu". Thanks to Brother Li Long, Li Sanjiao's majesty has made Westerners accept the inhuman performance in front of him. There is no such thing as a good thing.
A table knife appeared in his hand and was stabbed into the painting.
"Tsk-"
Just inserting the knife was not enough. Zhou Yi held the handle of the knife and slashed downwards, directly disemboweling the "famous painting", making a seven centimeter-long gash.
"Asshole, I'm going to kill you!"
Lord John's eyesight went dark, and Henry felt that his future was uncertain. A beautiful lady looked at him angrily, "It's over, it's over. Is there anything wrong with this painting? They both know each other well. As Zhou Yi said, once this painting is broken,
The truth will be revealed immediately!
Everyone was dumbfounded. Hashimoto Kukairo's eyes were as big as a donkey's egg. Wilson shook his head repeatedly as if he was having an epileptic fit. Professor Adam stamped his feet and beat his chest. He wanted to rush up to Zhou Yi to fight for his life, but was stopped by Bai Bingbing.
He held on tightly. This clean and neat girl was still a little girl. She was still immersed in the scene just now. She was so impressed by Zhou Yi's admiration. She was wrong. Girls only have five bodies and less.
Just one thing.
"Professor, there is really a problem, look!"
The girl from the Bai family, who was supporting her idol, grabbed hold of Professor Adam like a small universe bursting out, as if God was stopping him from eating the forbidden fruit: "That painting was...uncovered!"
"Revealed? Oh...my God, what Hua Xia Zhou said is true!"
Zhou Yi's technique was astonishing. He didn't use any special tools. He just twisted it along the incision. The upper canvas in the legend was gently lifted up, and the painting was displayed in front of the stunned people.
The original appearance of the painting.
Sure enough, there is another "Last Supper" hidden under this "Last Supper". The truth has been revealed. Even a pig can figure out that Master Farmer can't be so idle.
For this kind of pattern, you must know that this master is also a hard worker, and the paint is not cheap.
"Mechelen loves money, so he makes fakes, but he calls himself a 'master of fake paintings' and he also has his own pride..."
Zhou Yi smiled and glanced at Lord John and Henry, who had pale faces: "So he would deliberately leave flaws or marks in his 'masterpiece'. Unfortunately, the 'mark' of this fake is the one below
On the painting, you can take a look at Judas’s expression..."
"Judas's expression? Oh... This kind of smile is so inferior. It doesn't fit the overall artistic conception of this painting at all... It's fake. Hua Xia Zhou is right!"
Judas was a hypocritical person who was good at concealing himself, so when the Lord Jesus announced that he had been betrayed by a traitor, he, like all the disciples, also showed an expression of indignation and fierceness. In Leonardo da Vinci, Farmer, etc.
In the hands of the master, even in the "upper painting", his guilty conscience and timidity are well hidden under this righteous face, and you have to be very careful to see it. This is also the brilliance of the master painter.
But on the bottom canvas, Judas is smiling ferociously, like an idiot with the least sense of authority. This is completely inconsistent with the legend, and is obviously a flaw intentionally left by Mechelen.
"I lost..."
Hashimoto Kukairo stared at Zhou Yi, his eyes full of hatred. It was this Chinese boy who ruined the noble status he was about to obtain and made him lose more than 100 million euros in vain. At this moment, he hated John.
But the Book of Changes.
"What are you looking at, you little brat? Do you want to die by staring at my elder brother like this?"
Tang Bao sneered and glared back at him, then turned around with a smile on his face: "Boss, if I have you, I will hang out with you from now on! Wow, haha, it's more than 100 million euros, life is easy for me.
....."
"John, we need an explanation!"
Wilson rushed to John with blazing eyes, grabbed him by the collar and said: "You already knew that this painting was fake, right? This is a complete scam, right?"
"Wilson, my old friend, can you tell me what lies are?"
John chuckled miserably, like a rooster about to be slaughtered: "If it weren't for this Chinese boy, everything would be real, I would get money, you would get famous paintings, reputation and titles... But all of this is
I was ruined by him. I didn't want to be like this. I'm sorry, old friend. Butler, return everyone's money and put Mr. Hashimoto's money into the Huaxia Tang account. Zhou... I will wait in hell.
your!"
"boom!"
There was a gunshot, and John fell softly on the chair. A small "palm thunder" slipped out of his hand, and he actually committed suicide.
ps: Time is so tight, I will thank you all later, I will post it first and then talk about it :) First update today...)
