Chapter 168: Chapter 145 He’s Totally Trustworthy! (Please Subscribe)

The curtains were gently drawn aside, allowing the afternoon sunlight to slant in and cast an ancient and simple aura of years on the ‘Taotie Pattern Wine Vessel’.

Lin Chuan sat on the sofa to one side, quietly waiting for the results of the examination report.

The experts were doing the same.

The atmosphere on site, however, was subtly charged.

The chief expert from the museum seemed to be resting with eyes closed, but the corner of his mouth drooped and his complexion revealed slight irritation; clearly, he harbored some resentment.

A chief expert has the pride of a chief expert.

Old Bai’s mentor, Cheng Qing, would occasionally exchange a few words with Lin Chuan, showing some belief in Lin Chuan’s words.

Half an hour passed.

Chen Hui returned with the examination report.

“Officer Chen, how is it?” one of the experts in the room stood up and asked eagerly.

The rest of the people present also stood up, casting their gazes in unison.

The authenticity of this piece of ‘Taotie Pattern Wine Vessel’ bronze ware not only involved whether Old Bai was suspected of illegal trade in cultural relics but also related to the reputations of the few people present.

Chen Hui took a deep breath.

First, he glanced at Lin Chuan, then turned to look at Gao Qinglin with a somewhat odd expression before he began to speak:

“According to the appraisal by our police station’s Material Identification Division, the submitted materials contain basic copper carbonate, epoxy resin, acrylate, triterpene saponins, glycosides, flavonoid compounds, and copper ore fine powder as main components, and the tests also detected…”

The police comrade to one side, hearing all these chemical terms, felt somewhat baffled.

But for the several treasure appraisal experts present, these terms were all too familiar. Chemistry is a fundamental part of a treasure appraiser’s work, and even some of the older experts were well-versed in the chemical knowledge necessary for appraisal.

For instance, basic copper carbonate is a main component of patina, epoxy resin and acrylate are major components of adhesives, and the latter three are main components of Bletilla Striata Paste.

As Chen Hui announced the detection report, the faces of several appraisers led by the museum’s chief expert Gao Qinglin changed.

Especially Gao Qinglin.

A look of surprise appeared on his face, and after giving Lin Chuan an indifferent glance, he snorted through his nose and walked straight out.

Lin Chuan just smiled, not paying much attention.

Old Bai’s forgery of bronze ware, and expert Gao Qinglin being deceived, was no one’s fault but the result of their own inadequacy or the opponent’s strong capabilities.

Those who frequently walk by the river, how can they not get their shoes wet?

Even Lin Chuan, a grandmaster-level figure in the realm of antique forgery in the virtual world, had his missteps.

“Officer Chen, can you let my reader go now?”

Lin Chuan looked towards Chen Hui, a smile on his face.

“He’s already outside waiting for you,” Chen Hui said with a smile.

“Thank you, Officer Chen.”
