Chapter 60 Temperature Control Master Su Fan Scarlett watched the scene curiously. "Excuse me, what's going on..." She couldn't help but ask the patrolman who was watching the show with her with great interest. "Didn't you see it? It's a treasure appraisal." The patrolman didn't take his eyes off the center and tilted his head slightly to explain. "This old man insisted that Carl was the white boy who broke his baby." "Now Karl has invited Mr. Sufan from the antique shop to appraise the price of that thing." "Su Fan? The one sitting there?" "Who else could it be if he wasn't him?" [It turns out that he is Master Su Fan. ]
Scarlett stared at the young man in the center. The latter is emotionally stable, in stark contrast to the old man opposite. In front of him, the roaring, shriveled old man grabbed the jade Buddha statue with one hand, his veins bulging, and roared at Su Fan with spit flying. "I'm telling you, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. This is a cultural relic of our Republic of Korea! Do you understand cultural relics?!" "Koreans? Then they are even less valuable. Korea has only been established for 40 to 50 years. How can something 40 to 50 years old be considered a cultural relic?" Su Fan raised his eyebrows and pretended to be surprised. "Ah hey shit ..." The old man started swearing immediately, but before he had uttered three dirty words, the detective held his shoulders. "This is a police station, watch your words and actions!" Facing the ferocious face of the detective head-on, the old man shrank his neck, then cleared his throat and narrated the origin of the jade Buddha in a moving voice. “Although these are cultural relics from the Republic of Korea, their origin is from China.” "There was a dynasty in ancient Chinese history when Buddhism flourished. When the kings and nobles were buried, most of the burial objects included Buddha statues." "This jade Buddha statue was handed down from that era and eventually came to our Republic of Korea." The policeman couldn't stand it anymore and started to speak in a sarcastic tone. "According to what you said, this should also be a Chinese cultural relic. How come it has become something from your country?" Hearing this, the old man showed an air of disdain to argue. "Treasures belong to those who are virtuous. Whoever has them in his hands owns them. Didn't Britain also rob many cultural relics from other countries and put them in its own museums?" Even if they were robbers, they would clearly write where the cultural relics came from. They are not as shameless as you who directly say they belong to your own country. Hearing this, many people looked at the old man with contempt in their eyes.
The latter didn't care at all and continued speaking. "Boy, since you are in the antique business, you should know how precious the cultural relics handed down from that era are." "Now I'll give you one more chance. Open your eyes and see how much this jade Buddha statue is worth." As he spoke, the old man's eyes looked threatening. After the incident with the Koreans on the roof, both black and white people were in awe of Koreans. He didn't believe that this young man would dare to discooperate with him. "Not worth much, brand new." Unexpectedly, Su Fan didn't buy it at all and continued to repeat his previous words. "you sure?" "Sure, it's new." "...Young man, you don't have enough experience and experience, so it's normal for you to make mistakes. I advise you to think carefully before speaking." “No need to think, no need to look, just pure newness.” As if worried that he hadn't made himself clear, he paused and added another sentence. “Undisputedly new.” Scarlett, who was watching from the outside, saw it clearly. Every time the old man suppressed his anger, it would be ignited again by Su Fan's word "new". The pulling back and forth seemed like the latter was deliberately controlling the temperature. One of them was furious, while the other was extremely calm. Scarlett couldn't help laughing at the contrast. This Master Su Fan was too mean. Not only her, but the other policemen watching were also a little bit impatient. Faced with Su Fan who ignored his hints many times, the old man finally couldn't hold back anymore. He got so angry that the Three Corpse Gods jumped up and down and started roaring again. "You damned brat! What nonsense are you talking about here!" "Tell me the truth, did you accept favors from that white guy and say such nonsense here?!" As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of many patrolmen who were watching the fun turned grim. "You mean that our police officers broke the law knowingly and oppressed you through bribery and other means?" The detective's voice was low and full of obvious anger. Although the Korean old man was angry, he still had some rationality and had not completely lost the ability to sense the atmosphere. He immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his attitude was not as tough as before. "Hmph... In short, he must give me an explanation." "Otherwise, this matter will not end today!" Seeing that the other party seemed not to give up so easily, Carl could only spread his hands helplessly and look at Su Fan.
After receiving the former's signal for help, Su Fan slowly spoke. "You said that this Jade Guanyin came from the most prosperous dynasty of Chinese Buddhism, which means it was created during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, right?" "Don't brag without thinking. The Northern and Southern Dynasties, from the establishment of the earliest Song Dynasty to the demise of the last Northern Zhou Dynasty, lasted from 420 AD to 581 AD." "The ancestor of your Republic of Korea is Goryeo. When was Goryeo founded? Tell me." Su Fan's question made the old man, who had been aggressive before, seem choked and unable to utter a word. "You don't dare to say, right? I'm telling you, Goryeo was founded in 918 AD. Tell me, how did this thing end up in Goryeo?" "You can't even remember the year, and you still dare to speak nonsense here?" The old man's eyes were a little evasive and he began to make excuses. "I remembered it wrongly... This jade Buddha was handed down from the Tang Dynasty." "Ha ha……" Su Fan gave a playful smile. "The relief carving of this jade Guanyin is exquisite, which is simply not possible in the Tang Dynasty. Although the color carving used originated in the Warring States Period, it became popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties." "The time gap between the Tang Dynasty and the Ming and Qing Dynasties is at least 460 years." "You, the jade craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty, can carve a jade Guanyin in the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties." "Did they invent a time machine or something?" Hearing this, the people around burst into laughter. As for the old man, he was now sweating profusely. He knew that he was doomed this time, and immediately reached out to grab the jade Buddha, but was pushed away by Su Fan. The latter's eyes were so sharp that they seemed to be able to penetrate him. "Why are you panicking? You haven't finished talking yet." "Look at the quality of the jade. Any natural jade, no matter how good it is, will always have uneven texture. The structure of the jade can be seen under the light." "you this?" Su Fan turned on the flashlight on the table, and the strong light penetrated the jade Guanyin statue. "It's so smooth without any flaws, it's like glass." "You have the nerve to charge $300 million for something you can find anywhere on a street stall." The old man's face turned pale and he took out his certificate and tried to argue. Su Fan didn't even look at it, he just pulled it over and threw it to the ground. "A third-rate appraisal agency is a third-rate appraisal agency. They can get a fake certificate for money."
"Are you sure that Karl doesn't know the goods and doesn't know any expert on identification?" "You are so brave that you are trying to scam a policeman." As soon as he said this, the old man finally couldn't hold on any longer, his legs trembled, and he fell to his knees. The former didn't kneel for long before he was grabbed by the detective who came up. "Come with me to the interrogation room!
