    "Who? Who did you say is dead? You can't be mistaken!" Jiang Jiachang was shocked when he heard the name Tao Chunhai said. He even picked out his ears hard, wondering if he was  Misheard.  ¡Ý Of course, not only him, but everyone else was also very shocked when they heard the news. Yesterday I heard that he was still fine, but why did news of his death come out today!  Although Su Changtou's behavior before the accident was a bit unkind and unreasonable, it wasn't so serious that he had to pay the price with his life, right?  !  "That's Su Changtou!" Tao Chunhai nodded with certainty and said, "I was shocked when I saw it was him. I thought I had identified the wrong person. Later I called his name and he  He nodded. "Although he knew that Tao Chunhai would not joke about this kind of thing, Jiang Jiachang still found it unbelievable. After a while, he frowned and asked: "Did you see what he was suffering from?  "Injury?" Tao Chunhai replied: "It looks like he was shot in the abdomen. I don't know if there are any other injuries." Everyone heard that it was a gunshot wound and felt that the situation was a bit complicated.  Still a big case.  Jiang Jiachang then asked: "Did he say anything at that time?" "When he saw me, he wanted to say something, but he didn't say a word and ran out of energy. Moreover,  His eyes were wide open when he died, which was really scary. I guess he felt that his death was particularly unfair." Tao Chunhai still felt a little frightened when he thought of Su Changtou's appearance when he died.  After hearing this, Jiang Jiachang shook his head and sighed. He and Su Changtou had known each other for a long time.  He often entrusted Su Changtou to find the antiques he wanted, although he was not successful every time.  But at least eight out of ten times, his request can be met, and the price is quite reasonable.  In addition, the service has always been excellent.  Jiang Jiachang is still very satisfied with Su Changtou.  In the past, if Su Changtou asked him for help with anything, he would help solve it as long as he could.  Unexpectedly, because of He Lihang's incident, his inherent impression of Su Changtou was broken. Today, the news of Su Changtou's death actually came, which made him sigh with emotion. Things are really unpredictable!  Afterwards, Jiang Jiachang asked a few more questions.  But Tao Chunhai just called the police, and since he was tired after a trip to the sea, he explained the matter clearly to the police and stopped taking care of it.  Therefore, he didn't know all the questions Jiang Jiachang asked.  "Why do you like to be out of touch at critical moments!" Jiang Jiachang was speechless. He said hello to Chu Chen and the others, then took out his cell phone and called to find out the situation.  During this period, Tao Chunhai¡¯s men.  I also moved all the boxes over.  Tao Chunhai said to Chu Chen and the others with a smile on his face: "Actually, in addition to the porcelain made by Wu Liangdafu Wu Xiangrui, there are also some blue and white porcelain. I wonder if you two are interested?" "Okay."  Anyway, nothing happens for the time being.  Chu Chen and the others agreed.  However, when Chu Chen saw the porcelains Tao Chunhai mentioned, he felt a little strange.  Asked: "Mr. Tao, these porcelains were not discovered together with the auspicious porcelain, right?" "Indeed not. Mr. Chu, how did you discover them?" Tao Chunhai also felt a little curious.  Chu Chen said with a smile: "It's very simple. Because these porcelains are all Clark porcelain." In 1602-1603 AD, merchant ships from Clark Port in Portugal auctioned blue and white porcelain shipped from China to the Netherlands. It was sought after by everyone and caused a sensation in Europe.  .  Therefore, this kind of porcelain is called "Clark" porcelain.  Clark porcelain is characterized by wide edges, mostly blue and white porcelain. The rims of plates and bowls are painted with gridded and circular consecrated landscapes, figures, flowers, fruits, etc.  Because it is exported porcelain, the flower pattern has a typical European style, so Chu Chen can tell it at a glance.  For example, some of the blue and white plates in the box have unique decorative patterns. The center and walls of the plate are decorated all over the inside of the plate.  The center is painted with blue and white flowers, birds, mountains and rocks, and the inner wall of the plate is painted with eight rays of light and miscellaneous treasures, with sunflowers in between.  The outer wall of the plate is painted with flowers in eight colors.  The overall composition of the picture is rigorous, complex but not chaotic. It not only expresses traditional Chinese ornamentation, but also contains the artistic charm that Westerners love to see.  Therefore, when Chu Chen saw these porcelains, he guessed their varieties. Of course, he would only know after seeing whether the items were right or not.  ¡°Furthermore, because Clark porcelain is generally exported to Europe, while Xiangrui porcelain is exported to island countries, that¡¯s why Chu Chen asked that question.  "So that's what happened. I really didn't know this was Clark porcelain before." Tao Chunhai suddenly realized, and then asked quickly: "Master Chu, please tell me, is Clark porcelain worth?Is it valuable?  " He thought, since these porcelain are exported to Europe, the price will not be cheap, right? "What is Clark porcelain worth?  "At this time, Jiang Jiachang finished the phone call and came over. He replied after hearing this. "No, since it is porcelain exported to Europe, how can it be worthless?  "Tao Chunhai obviously couldn't accept Jiang Jiachang's statement. "Who told you that exported porcelain is good?  Jiang Jiachang sneered and said: "You probably don't know that compared with the porcelain from the porcelain capital of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Clark porcelain is generally not refined enough, and both have thin bodies, with sand sticking to the bottom and collapse.  .  In addition, Clark porcelain plates were thin, fragile, and not durable. Therefore, if they were sold domestically at that time, they would not have any good sales at all.  " "As for Europeans, it is because the pattern decoration of Clark porcelain caters to the aesthetic needs of foreigners. In addition, in order to make this kind of porcelain more suitable for the local people's appreciation taste, Europeans will make the porcelain by local craftsmen after it is shipped to Europe.  "Processed", some are inlaid with precious metals, and some are added with colored paintings on the original patterns.  " "For example, add colored chrysanthemums to the blank spaces of blue and white porcelain, add red and gold to create a resplendent effect, etc.  Various factors led to these Clark porcelains becoming expensive porcelain at that time, and these porcelains were mostly used as decorations, so the shortcomings of thin bodies did not matter.  " "So, it's just that Clark porcelain's craftsmanship is not exquisite enough in comparison.  That determines its value.  In the market, this kind of porcelain is just a kind of export porcelain that is not valuable but has great research value, and the number of collectors is relatively small.  As for the value of your porcelain?  Judging from the appearance, it is probably similar to these auspicious porcelains.  " After listening to Jiang Jiachang's explanation, Tao Chunhai looked depressed. He never expected that he brought two kinds of porcelain, but they turned out to be worthless things. Could it be that it was because of the bad luck brought by encountering the dead that he  So unlucky? It seems that I have to ask someone to help me get rid of the bad luck after I return. After a while, Tao Chunhai asked with a sad face: "Boss Jiang, will you accept these porcelains?"  Jiang Jiachang shook his head and said, "To tell you the truth, I keep this kind of porcelain in the warehouse."  You may not even be able to earn storage fees.  " It was indeed an exaggeration for him to say this, but he was not optimistic about the porcelain brought by Tao Chunhai. He felt that he would not make much money, and he really didn't want to cause trouble, so he refused. Just when Tao Chunhai was extremely disappointed, Chu Chen said: "  I can buy these porcelains.  "    "really?  "Tao Chunhai was quite surprised. Jiang Jiachang said: "Aren't you talking nonsense? Since Mr. Chu said so, would he still lie to you?  " Tao Chunhai scratched his head and laughed innocently. Chu Chen smiled and said: "However, let's talk about it earlier. Although I can buy all these porcelain, the price will be cheaper.  certainly.  I won't take advantage of you. If you are worried, you can ask a friend about the price first.  " Tao Chunhai said quickly: "Master Chu.  Although this is our first meeting, since you are Mr. Jiang¡¯s friend.  I definitely believe you!  " Chu Chen was noncommittal about this. Anyway, everyone can say nice things. When it comes to his own interests, he is not so calm. And Tao Chunhai's performance is indeed the same. After Chu Chen has appraised all the porcelain he brought, and  He found it very difficult to talk about the price, and he often kept nagging about the price difference. For Chu Chen, the reason why he wanted to buy all these porcelains was for his own benefit.  These porcelains were prepared by the museum. They were not high-quality products or treasures. It didn't matter whether he bought them or not. Therefore, Tao Chunhai's behavior made him feel very boring. In the end, he almost didn't want to buy them.  Chen seemed impatient, so he quickly stopped and set the price with great pain. There was no other way. Who said it was a buyer's market now? After completing the transaction, Tao Chunhai said: "Master Chu, I don't know if you have any interest in jewelry."  interest?  " "Where did you get the jewelry?  "Jiang Jiachang asked. Tao Chunhai explained: "The jewelry is together with these Clark porcelain. Except for a seal, the others are jewelry such as brooches. Many of these jewelry are made of gold and diamonds.  .  Jiang Jiachang smiled and said, "Then go and show it to us. Maybe it's worth a little more than your porcelain."  " "Okay, I'll get it right away" After Tao Chunhai left happily, Zhao Qirui asked: "Fat Jiang, what news did you get just now?  " Jiang Jiachang shook his head and said: "My friend said there is no news from the police.The one who is more suspected is the old man who sold He Lihang the seal, but now the place where the old man lives is empty, and we can't find where this man has gone yet.  " Zhao Qirui said curiously: "No, isn't there surveillance around?  Besides, Haojing is not big, where can he run to?  Have you already left Haojing?  Jiang Jiachang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows what happened? There is no record of the place where he entered and exited. The old man seemed to have disappeared out of thin air."  " At this time, Chu Chen thought of a possibility: "Could he have escaped directly from the sea?  " Jiang Jiachang nodded and said: "My friend said that the police also think this possibility is relatively high, but currently there are no clues in this regard through the investigation.  He said that the surrounding police forces have been notified to assist in the investigation.  Speaking of which, what happened this time was a bit strange from the beginning. Could it be that Su Changtou had something that was caught by the other party?  " "I think this possibility is not high.  "Zhao Qirui analyzed: "If it is really like what you said, why would the other party kill him?  " "That's right.  Jiang Jiachang thought for a while and said, "Could it be that Su Changtou chose to commit suicide by jumping into the sea because he was unwilling to be manipulated by the other party?"  " "This" Zhao Qirui was just about to express his different opinions when he saw Tao Chunhai walking over with a box, so he swallowed back the words he had just spoken. Tao Chunhai walked up to the crowd and put  He opened the box and said with a smile: "At first, these jewelry were packed in a somewhat sealed box, but the box was broken as soon as I salvaged it, so I put it in another one" While speaking, everyone looked at the box.  Looking over, I saw many pieces of jewelry placed inside, most of which were pendants. Each of these pendants has its own characteristics and is full of exotic customs. For example, one pendant represents a carnival dancer with a head on her head.  The fruits and flowers are made of gold, enamel, baroque pearls and rose diamonds. The rose diamonds embedded in them sparkle. The body is composed of a baroque pearl, and the dancing skirt highlights the dazzling rose diamonds and colorful enamel.  . Another pendant also uses gold, enamel, and baroque pearls. It is designed with the natural shape of pearls as the body part of a lion, and the head and limbs are made of gold, embellished with enamel, and the lion is in a leaping state.  Small but interesting, this design was very popular in the late 16th century and was considered a typical jewelry of the Renaissance. In addition to pendants, the box also contains bracelets, tree-shaped brooches, mermaid necklaces, etc., all of which are included.  It is a European jewelry style from the 16th to 17th century. It can be said that each piece is of high quality and of high value. However, in Chu Chen's eyes, these jewelry are far less important than the seal Tao Chunhai said, because of this.  It¡¯s not a seal at all, but a Huang Jade Gangmao. Speaking of which, everyone should be able to guess the role of this Huangyu Gangmao. Yes, it is one of the five Gangmao that is related to Wang Mang¡¯s treasure.  However, compared with the Gangmao that Chu Chen got before, the material of this topaz Gangmao is much better. It is made of real Khotan topaz, and its color is sweet and yellow, pure and beautiful.  It is rarer than mutton fat jade. However, except for the jade quality, other carvings and other aspects are the same as that of the sapphire jade. It seems that it was made by the same person. In addition, judging from the color and number of the jade.  , the five Gangmao are probably made according to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Then, the other three Gangmao are probably made of red, white and black jade, and the clues to the treasure may also be related to them.  Although such speculation is not very helpful in finding other Gangmao, it is better than nothing for Chu Chen.
