Make sure it’s foolproof!
It didn’t take long for Lin Chuan to measure the first piece of data.
The height of the vase body was 31.1cm.
Youyou, who was closest to Lin Chuan, was the first to see this number, and her eyebrows tightened.
This matched the data recorded by the Cultural Relics Bureau exactly.
But before anyone could react, Lin Chuan successively measured the diameter of the base, the diameter of the mouth of the vase, and weighed it.
Without exception.
All these values matched the data recorded by the Cultural Relics Bureau, one by one.
Inside the meeting room.
Youyou, sitting next to Lin Chuan, felt her heart pounding, the more data that matched, the more it proved to be genuine.
Chen Hui’s brow furrowed in confusion.
Everyone in the room exchanged glances and whispered amongst themselves.
“The data matches perfectly, this must be the real deal.”
“The more it’s appraised, the more authentic it seems, it’s really a pity that such a national treasure-level cultural relic…”
“Even if it’s a forgery, could it really be replicated so exactly?”
“…”
At that moment.
Director Zhao Gang of the police station furrowed his brow and asked slowly, “Comrade Lin Chuan, do we need to continue the appraisal?”
Everyone’s eyes turned to Lin Chuan all at once.
The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became more solemn.
The sunlight penetrated the high windows into the room, feeling a bit hot and stifling, while inside, it was so quiet you could hear the ticking of the second hand on the clock.
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock.
It was oppressive, almost making it hard to breathe.
Only after Lin Chuan had recorded these measured data did he raise his eyes to look around at everyone, his gaze stopping on the director of the police station, “Director, please be patient. I’m not using these basic measurements of the thin-walled jade vase to prove it’s fake but to verify whether an artifact with all matching data is indeed genuine.”
This included its patina and texture, among other things.
Director Zhao Gang’s brows knitted together, “If all the data is the same, isn’t this the ‘Qing dynasty Chinese tangled branch pattern thin-walled jade vase’?”
“In fact, it’s not the case,” replied Lin Chuan with a smile. “Please pause the video that the Cultural Relics Bureau was playing at the 4 minute and 26 second mark.”
The person in charge of controlling the meeting room’s electronic screen was Chen Hui.
Chen Hui didn’t understand why, but as both directors nodded, he immediately did so, pausing the video at the 4 minute and 26 second mark.
The video at 4 minutes and 26 seconds.
On the screen appeared a thin-walled jade vase surrounded by darkness, illuminated from above by the beam of a flashlight.
The walls of the thin-walled jade vase were as thin as cicada wings, clear and translucent, with excellent light transmission.
