Chen Rui nodded and said, "The head of the sheep and the head of the snake are indeed with me in the bronze statue of the animal head of the Chinese zodiac.

Thanks to Earl Hill, who discovered it in the 1980s in a declining British aristocratic family, it has been kept in his family's treasury. Now, the collection is in my hands.

I am very curious. Earl Hill only transferred the bronze animal head, sheep head, and snake head to me yesterday afternoon. Today, you all know the news that the bronze animal head, sheep head, and snake head are here with me. "

Professor Yang Tianming laughed and said, "I'm afraid not only the two of us know the news.

In fact, the bronze statues of sheep and snakes with animal heads appeared in British customs yesterday, which attracted the attention of many people in China.

After a little inquiries, I found that the person responsible for transporting the bronze statue of the animal head was Earl Hill's housekeeper Burke, and it could be determined that the owner of the bronze statue of the animal head was Earl Hill.

The plane carrying the two bronze statues of beast heads flew to the capital airport of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Then contact the Earl of Hill who has been living on your island, and the relationship with you is irresistible.

Therefore, many people speculate that Earl Hill may transfer the two bronze statues of animal heads to you. "

Professor Hai Shizhi also smiled and said, "Perhaps Mr. Cai of the China Special Fund for Rescue Lost Overseas Cultural Relics is already on the plane to Port-au-Prince Capital Airport, and the bronze statue of the animal head of the 12 zodiac animals, a national treasure, the head of the sheep, has been missing. , The snake head suddenly fell into your hands, can he not be in a hurry?"

At this moment, Carlson Harry walked in and said to Chen Rui, "Mr. Chen, someone called Mr. Cai is looking for you outside."

Yang Tianming and Hai Shizhi looked at each other, smiled and said, "Tell Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive."

Chen Rui replied to Carlson Harry, "Let Mr. Cai come in."

A few minutes later, Carlson Harry walked in with three people.

Walking in the front is an old man with strong spirit and bright eyes.

Chen Rui greeted him and greeted with a smile, "Old Cai, hello."

"Mr. Chen, hello, I have admired the name for a long time." Cai Lao said.

"You're welcome."

"Let me introduce you." Cai Lao introduced the two people around him to Chen Rui.

Wu Guorui, an expert in cultural relics and a researcher at the Palace Museum, has very deep attainments in bronze research and identification.

Guo Jingchang, a famous Chinese miscellaneous and bronze ware evaluation expert.

Wu Guorui is a little older, about 6 to 70 years old, with gray hair.

Guo Jingchang is a little younger, looking 4 or 50 years old, looking very neat and capable, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, and very energetic.

"Hello, Mr. Wu."

"Mr. Guo."

"Mr. Chen doesn't need to introduce any more, he has admired his name for a long time.

The discoverer and salvage of the Spanish gold carrier "Lucky Star", the digger of the treasures of the ancient Inca Empire, is known as the most famous treasure hunter and explorer of this century.

In the first half of the year, he purchased 78.12 square kilometers of land in the east of Tortuga Island, becoming the first Chinese person to purchase land overseas. This time, Mr. Chen took back China's national treasure, the bronze statue of the zodiac animal head. Head, snake head.

Mr. Chen's current reputation can be said to be booming in the country. He can hear people in the circle talking about Mr. Chen's name all day long, and he can hear the cocoon. "Guo Jingchang said with a smile.

Everyone chatted for a while.

Cai Guoyun talked about the purpose of this visit and said to Chen Rui, "Mr. Chen, can we appreciate your collection of the bronze statues of the zodiac animals, the sheep's head and the snake's head?"

"Yes, you are very welcome." Chen Rui nodded.

"Everyone, please come with me." Chen Rui walked into the study.

Professor Cai, Wu, Guo, Yang and Hai followed behind Chen Rui.

Chen Rui walked to the bookshelf and took out a few books from the bookshelf according to certain rules.

The mechanism was activated, and a part of the bookshelf was opened like a window door, revealing an electronic display screen.

It turned out that the bookshelf was cleverly designed as a secret key to the door of a treasure trove.

Chen Rui entered the encrypted password on the electronic display screen, and then verified the fingerprint and pupil membrane.

"Crack~" sounded softly.

The secret room door opened.

Presented in front of everyone is an ordinary room, the room area is about ten square meters.

The floor of the room is covered with mahogany floors, and the sound is clear when you step on it.

In the corner of the room is a Bogu shelf, which is full of bamboo slips, and a mahogany bar table on the left side of the room, and two bronze statues of animal heads are placed on the mahogany bar table.

There are several pictures of calligraphy and paintings on the wall.

The room looks antique.

At this moment, the most attention-grabbing thing in the room is the two bronze statues of beast heads placed on the mahogany table, the head of a sheep and the head of a snake.

Several people walked over quickly.

"Mr. Chen, can I get started?" Cai Guoyun asked Chen Rui.

"Okay, please do whatever you want." Chen Rui nodded and said.

Cai Guoyun took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket, put them on his hands, picked up the sheep's head, and admired it carefully.

Another snake head was held by Wu Guoshi.

And Guo Jingchang, who didn't get started, turned around in the room, admiring the things in the room.

After admiring for a while, Cai Guoyun put the magnifying glass in his hand on the table and said, "This sheep's head has a deep color on the surface, and the inside is bright, and it has survived wind and rain without rusting.

Moreover, the casters are finished, and the surface is also carved with fine chisel work. The details such as the animal hair on the top are all chiseled and forged, which are clear and realistic. The key parts such as the nose, eyes and ears, as well as the upper nose and neck. The folds are all very delicate, without a trace of sloppy, showing a very high level of craftsmanship.

It is the same as the rat head, rabbit head preserved in the National Museum, and the bronze statues of cattle, tiger, monkey, pig, horse and other animal heads preserved in the Poly Art Museum. There is no doubt that it is genuine. "

After a while, Wu Guoshi put down the snake head in his hand and nodded, "Authentic, rare treasure."

"These..., are they all true?" Guo Jingchang exclaimed in shock in front of Bo Gujia.

"Xiao Guo, what did you find that made you lose your temper?" Cai Guo turned his head and said to Guo Jingchang in surprise.

"Come and see, it's almost..., I think these are enough to shock the Chinese cultural relics and historical circles." Guo Jingchang said, with a vibrato in his tone.

Hearing this, the two walked over quickly.
