Chapter 484 Lost and found

The man surnamed Liu snorted, avoided Shen Yunfeng's gaze on him, lowered his head and hesitated to speak.

Shen Yunfeng glanced at the man surnamed Liu lightly, and continued: "At this time, Mr. Beihong has moved to Shancheng, and the man who came to the door said that he came from Jinguan City, and also emphasized that Mr. Beihong When the Lao Jun Art Exhibition was held in Jinguan City, I went to the art exhibition myself and deeply admired the reputation of Mr.

"Mr. Beihong entertained this man with the best tea and the richest family banquet, just hoping that he could tell me the whereabouts of that long scroll."

"During the dinner, the man promised, saying that as long as he is willing to pay a high price, he will definitely buy back the ancient painting for Mr. Beihong."

Master Guo said: "Mr. Beihong bought a long scroll from a foreign woman for the first time, and took out all the money on his body. This time, although it is his own thing, but for it, Mr. Beihong wants to buy it again." The second time the family broke."

The man surnamed Liu subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Shen Yunfeng said slowly: "Master Guo is right, and, this time, in order to buy back the long scroll, Mister almost took his life."

The man surnamed Liu couldn't help asking: "What do you say?"

Shen Yunfeng glanced at the man surnamed Liu, and said calmly: "Mr. Beihong heard that man said that he had a way to buy the painting back, so he gave him [-] cash as a reward on the spot, and emphasized that if the matter is settled, you And thank you very much.”

"The man was full of wine and food, and with [-] cash in hand, he asked my husband to wait for news from him. The wait lasted for more than ten days."

"Many people said that my husband must have met a liar again, but because he loves painting so much, he said that for the sake of that ancient painting, he would rather believe it."

"That man should not be a liar." The man surnamed Liu spoke in a very low voice.

"After almost a month, that man really lived up to Mr. Beihong's expectations. He personally brought the long-axis line drawing scroll to the mountain city again, and found Mr. Beihong."

"After confirming that what the man brought was indeed the stolen ancient painting, he fulfilled his promise on the spot. Not only did he give the other party another 20 yuan in cash, but he also rummaged through the box and found ten of his masterpieces and sent them to that person. people."

"20 million!"

"Ten works!"

The man surnamed Liu said in a daze, "Oh!"

He should have said something, but in the end he let out a long sigh and didn't say it.

Master Guo sighed and said, "The 20 yuan was used by Mr. Beihong to treat his illness. He was grateful because the man helped him get back the ancient painting, so he found out all the cash at home and gave it all to that man. man."

Shen Yunfeng nodded and said: "As Master Guo said, after only one month of redeeming the painting, Mr. Beihong fell ill and was hospitalized due to various diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and nephritis, because all his family assets were used to buy the lost and recovered painting. Ancient paintings, my husband almost died because he had no money for medical treatment."

"Fortunately, Mr. has a group of good friends. With their help, the crisis was saved."

The man surnamed Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly asked Shen Yunfeng: "From what I heard, it seems that there is something wrong with the man from Jinguan City."

"Could it be that Mr. Beihong never doubted his identity?"

"After all, he spent a lot of time trying to find that painting. Isn't it strange that the ancient painting that disappeared out of thin air suddenly reappeared?"

Seeing what the man surnamed Liu said, Shen Yunfeng exchanged glances with Master Guo before nodding his head and said: "Actually, Mr. Beihong has always suspected that the person who stole the long scroll from his residence in Jinguan City is It was the man who took the initiative to find him, but because the ancient painting was back in his hands, after Mr. Beihong was filled with emotion, he did not pursue it."

"The truth, is it really as Mr. Beihong suspected?" the man surnamed Liu couldn't help asking again.

Although, he knew that Shen Yunfeng would definitely complete this old matter, but he just couldn't help it.

"Yes, the matter is indeed as Mr. Beihong suspected." Master Guo said, "After all, the fire cannot be contained in the paper. Not long after the incident, it started to spread that the man actually stole Mr. Beihong's painting. Thief."

"After investigation, Mr. Beihong gradually got to know the general process of the whole matter."

"When Mr. Beihong came to Jinguancheng to hold a labor art exhibition, the thief rented a house opposite his residence. He used a telescope to observe his every move every day, waiting for opportunities to steal his paintings."

"Finally, he caught the opportunity. One day in early May of that year, the Japanese pirates suddenly attacked Jinguan City. The man noticed that Mr. Beihong was being dragged to the air-raid shelter in a hurry. He waited until there was no one there. , climbed over the wall and entered Mr. Beihong’s yard, knocked on the door with the tools he had prepared earlier, pried open several large boxes, and ransacked all the [-] works of Mr. Beihong and the long-axis scroll inside. empty."

"After he stole these paintings, he also realized what he did this time, so he hid it and secretly observed Mr. Beihong's reaction. Soon, Mr. Beihong offered a huge reward for finding the painting that was in the painting. He didn't think it was a worthless line drawing scroll, and this also made him realize that the ancient painting is of great significance to Mr. Beihong, so he became more cautious."

"Two years have passed in a flash. During this period, this man sold several works of Mr. Beihong for his squandering, but he never let others see that ancient painting."

"Later, the man inadvertently learned that although Mr. Beihong lived in the mountain city, he still remembered the ancient painting that was lost in Jinguan City. He also asked his friends here and the relationship with the police station, hoping to find the painting. The whereabouts of an ancient painting."

"It seems that the long-axis line drawing scroll is indeed regarded as life to Mr. Beihong." The man surnamed Liu muttered to himself with a slightly gloomy expression.

Seeing Shen Yunfeng and Master Guo staring at him, he dodged his expression and said: "If this is the case, that person will probably find a way to make a move. After all, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. If he still hides that ancient painting Painting, after a long time, will definitely reveal its secrets."

Master Guo chuckled and said, "What a world there is no impenetrable wall!"

Shen Yunfeng nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Liu, what you analyzed is no different from what that person thought at the time."

"The only difference is that that person didn't intend to 'return' the painting to Beihong through a third person. He decided to talk to Mr. Beihong himself."

"Because, Mr. Beihong promised before that he would spend a lot of money to buy that ancient painting."
