Super hang up system

After listening to the middle-aged man's words, the others agreed with them. Isn't this saying that they are fools?
So more and more people joined the camp against Liu Xing and asked Liu Xing to apologize to them immediately.

Liu Xing felt aggrieved, how much did the fake Mona Lisa exhibited in the Louvre have anything to do with him, he just accidentally told the truth, how did he suddenly escalate to the level of calling others idiots Yes, these people's imaginations are too rich.

The originally quiet Louvre suddenly became noisy, and many people turned their attention to this side. The security personnel patrolling the museum noticed the abnormal situation here and came over.

"Why are you making such a loud noise here? Don't you know that loud noises are not allowed here?"

Facing the accusations from the security personnel, the people fell silent. The middle-aged man said to the security personnel: "He said that the painting of the Mona Lisa is a fake. We were angry, so we quarreled with him."

The security personnel looked at Liu Xing, pointed to the painting on the wall and asked, "You say this painting is a fake? This kind of behavior is slandering the reputation of our Louvre. I demand you to apologize immediately."

Liu Xing was furious after hearing this, whether these foreigners are not good at brains, I just said something casually, you are here to care about every detail, I did not expose the fakes in the Louvre, I have already given face, but in the end It's simply unreasonable to pester yourself.

Since you all insist on pestering yourself, don't blame me for not giving face.

"Why should I apologize, this Mona Lisa is a fake, is it wrong to tell the truth?"

The security guard said seriously: "Sir, if you want to continue to slander the reputation of my Louvre, I have no choice but to invite you to come with us."

Liu Xing sneered and said, "You are just a security guard. Why do you say that I am slandering the Louvre? Do you know enough about these paintings?"

What Liu Xing said made the security personnel speechless, and he tried hard to defend: "Although I don't know much about these paintings, I know the Louvre, and I know that there will be absolutely no fakes here. "

"That's right, how can there be fakes in the Louvre? It's just nonsense." The middle-aged man also reprimanded Liu Xing.

Just as Liu Xing was about to continue to refute, a voice came from a distance.

"Since you say it's a fake, what proof do you have?"

Everyone looked around, only to see an old man with silver glasses, a light shirt, and gray hair, slowly walking over with the support of a dignified and elegant lady.

When Anbao saw the old man, he quickly saluted respectfully.

"Curator Sherman, why are you here?"

"Such a big thing happened, of course I have to deal with it myself."

The old man is the current curator of the Louvre, Sherman, he is one of the best art connoisseurs in the world, and few fakes can escape his discernment.

Today he happened to come to the Louvre to appraise a painting sent by an old friend. He was very interested when he heard that someone actually questioned the Mona Lisa portrait in the Louvre as a fake, so he rushed over.

"Don't be nervous, gentleman. I just want to discuss with you and see why you think this Mona Lisa is a fake."

Unlike other people's aggressiveness, Sherman's attitude is very gentle, without the slightest airs, which makes Liu Xing feel very comfortable, and the anger accumulated just now gradually dissipates.

"Just now the security guard called you Curator Sherman, so you are the current curator of the Louvre?" Liu Xing was curious about Sherman's identity.

Sherman nodded and said: "Yes, I am the curator of the Louvre, and I know every piece of art here very well, so I am very curious, why do you say this Mona Lisa is a fake? ?”

Liu Xing looked at the people around him, thinking that Sherman is a friendly person, and if outsiders know that this painting is a fake, it may not be good for the Louvre and Sherman.

"Can I speak privately?"

Sherman thought for a while and agreed to Liu Xing's request. At his request, the Mona Lisa Pavilion was temporarily closed and all tourists were invited out.

"Now you can talk," Sherman said.

Liu Xing walked into the painting, pointed to one of the places through the glass, and said, "If you look carefully here, you will find that the proportions of the shaded parts here are a little inconsistent, and they are different from the original painting."

Sherman leaned forward, squinted for a long time, finally shook his head, and said, "I'm sorry I didn't see the difference."

Liu Xing said: "It's hard to see it this way. It's better to take it up close and use a magnifying glass to compare it with the partially enlarged photos from before. I think you must have some of these."

Sherman thought for a while and rejected Liu Xing's request: "For the sake of Mona Lisa's safety, I'm sorry, I can't do this."

Liu Xing shrugged: "Of course, this is your right, then we can leave now."

Sherman chuckled: "Of course it's no problem. I wish you all a good time in the Louvre."

Liu Xing nodded to Sherman, and was about to turn around and leave with Bai Shuangshuang when he heard a pleasantly surprised voice.

"Mr. Liu, why are you here?"

Liu Xing turned his head and saw that it was an old acquaintance, Professor Ge.

Sherman asked in surprise, "Do you know each other?"

Professor Ge said to Sherman: "This is the amazing Mr. Liu I mentioned to you."

Sherman nodded and asked, "Why are you here?"

Professor Ge said: "I see that you haven't come back, so I came here to check the situation and see if there is anything that can help you."

Then Professor Ge asked Liu Xing: "Is it you who said that the Mona Lisa is a fake?"

Liu Xing smiled wryly, "Who else could it be if it wasn't me? By the way, why is Professor Ge here?"

Professor Ge said: "I was entrusted by someone to take a painting for Sherman to appraise. Unexpectedly, before the appraisal was completed, I heard someone say that the painting of Mona Lisa is a fake."

Liu Xing laughed awkwardly.

Professor Ge turned his head and said seriously to Sherman: "If Mr. Liu is the one who says this painting is a fake, I think we must treat it with caution."

Sherman didn't expect his old friend to think so highly of this young man, and he couldn't help being a little surprised. He and Professor Ge have been friends for decades, and he knows his character, so he couldn't help but pay attention to this matter. .

"Take down the painting, send it to my office, and find out the photos taken before." Sherman ordered to his assistant.

Sherman's office is located in a small room in the deepest part of the Louvre. It is filled with various works of art and looks a bit messy.

After Bai Shuangshuang went in, he touched here and looked there curiously, looking very curious.

"You have to be careful, there are a lot of valuable treasures here." Sherman reminded with a smile.

Bai Shuangshuang stuck out her tongue, not daring to move anymore.

A few people chatted casually for a while, and the Mona Lisa painting was carefully sent over.

The assistant gave everyone a pair of white cotton gloves, because the sweat stains in the palms would corrode the paintings, so you must wear gloves if you want to touch the paintings.

Liu Xing pointed to that place, and said, "Director Sherman, compare this place carefully, and you should be able to see the problem."

Sherman took off his reading glasses, held a magnifying glass, and carefully compared it with the high-definition photo next to him.

Looking at it, Sherman's breathing gradually became faster, and there were faint sweat stains on his forehead.

After a while, Xie Er hurriedly raised his head and handed the magnifying glass to Professor Ge.

"Old Ge, help me take a look."

Professor Ge wondered: "You know that I am not proficient in art appraisal."

Sherman said hurriedly: "I don't need your identification, just help me see if there is any difference between this place and the photo. I don't trust my eyes very much now."

Professor Ge glanced at him suspiciously, then took the magnifying glass, and looked closely at the painting.

After a while, Professor Ge raised his head, hesitant to speak.

"How?" Sherman asked anxiously.

"It seems to be a little different." Professor Ge said affirmatively.

After hearing this, Sherman's feet softened, and he sat down on the stool, staring blankly at the Mona Lisa, feeling overwhelmed in his heart.

"Is it really a fake?" Professor Ge asked worriedly.

Sherman said with some dismay: "Now it seems that the possibility of a fake is very high. If you want to really confirm it, you must do isotope dating."

"How long will it take?" Professor Ge asked.

"We have a dedicated laboratory, and it only takes ten minutes to get the results."

After Sherman finished speaking, he called his assistant.

"Take this painting for isotope dating. You do it yourself. No matter what the result is, this matter must not be spread, understand?"

"I understand the curator." The assistant nodded solemnly, then carefully picked up the painting and left the office.

"Mr. Liu, how sure are you that this painting is a fake?" Sherman asked humbly. After this incident, he admired Liu Xing very much.

"Ten percent." Liu Xing said lightly.

"Then call the police immediately." Bai Shuangshuang suggested from the side.

"No, you must not call the police." Sherman said in a deep voice: "If something like the Mona Lisa painting in the Louvre was dropped, it will definitely cause an uproar, and it will also damage the reputation of the Louvre." have a huge impact."

Liu Xing thought for a while and said, "Maybe, we can check it ourselves."

Sherman asked in surprise: "Check it yourself? We are not professionals, how do we check this kind of thing?"

Liu Xing said: "Of course we start with the forgery itself."

Sherman asked curiously, "How to proceed?"

Liu Xing said: "I don't think there are many people who can imitate the Mona Lisa so hard to distinguish between real and fake. Let's start with the painters and find out something."
