Cheng Shi nodded and said, "Yes, since they dare to sell fake paintings to you, they will naturally have the confidence to not be seen through by you!

I guess they used the heart of the paintings of the same era as this painting, reframed, and copied them with the same brush and ink!"

When Manager Zhu heard this, although he still didn't believe Cheng Shi's words, he already felt suspicious.

Manager Zhu continued to ask: "The method you mentioned is naturally possible, but this requires a lot of effort and a master of fraud.

And I can't see anything wrong with this painting. I wonder if you have any evidence to prove that this painting is fake?!"

Cheng Shi smiled and said, "The evidence is on those seals!"

Manager Zhu said in confusion: "Didn't you say you don't understand Yin so sure?"

Cheng Shi continued: "This painting has been in circulation and has been collected for hundreds of years, so there must be many collectors who stamp it!

Although there are as many seals on this painting as real works, it also reveals a problem: you can use drawing paper and ink to distinguish the authenticity of the fake.

These seals are also very realistic, but these seals are indeed from the same person, so there are not many fake masters!

Especially, there are even fewer masters in making seals, so these seals are engraved, although they are fake and real.

But his habit of engraving was still exposed, and many of the seals here carry his personal imprints!"

When Manager Zhu heard this, his eyes lit up, but Boss Du said from the side: "Manager Zhu is just talking nonsense. He wants to steal this painting from here, so he said it is fake!"

Cheng Shi then walked over and pointed it to Manager Zhu on several seals. Manager Zhu looked at it carefully, shook his head and sighed.

"This is indeed fake. I slapped you today. It seems that I am really old. Thank you for your help!"

Cheng Shi explained: "This painting is a top-notch imitation. They came here to deceive you because of your professional knowledge.

Because I can tell from the painting method, brush, ink and paper, it is impossible to see this painting at all. Instead, I only see the trick because of this layman.

Of course, I am not saying that I have the ability, because I know where the authenticity is, so I will not carefully look for the flaws of this painting.

So it’s not that you are not capable, it’s that you were deceived by their tricks, and I hope you don’t feel too sad!”

Manager Zhu waved his hand and said, "You don't need to comfort me. It is common to be slap in this industry, and I won't take it to heart!"

After the shopkeeper Zhu finished speaking, he walked towards Boss Du and said coldly: "Boss Du, why do you want to come here to deceive us with a fake painting!"

The strong man behind Manager Zhu rushed over and picked up Boss Du from Deng Xin's hand, and Boss Du said in a struggle.

"Shopkeeper Zhu, my painting is real, how could it be fake? Don't be fooled by him!"

Cheng Shi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper Zhu, Boss Du may have been deceived, so you should let go of Boss Du!"

Cheng Shi winked at Deng Xin, who was about to take action. Deng Xin quickly understood what Cheng Shi meant, which was to let the other party go and hang the big fish.

Although Manager Zhu didn't understand what Cheng Shi meant, the other party saved him from major losses and waved his hand to let him go.

Boss Du was thrown to the ground by a strong man. He quickly gasped and it took him a long time to stand up again. Manager Zhu said coldly.

"Today, I'm my little brother pleading for you. Take your fake painting and get out of here!"

Boss Du stared at Cheng Shi coldly, slowly put away the paintings on the table and took his people away.

Cheng Shi walked over and said to Manager Zhu: "Is there a back door here for Manager Zhu?!"

Manager Zhu nodded and said yes. Cheng Shi said to Deng Xin: "Follow him and don't let him find you are following him!"

Then Manager Zhu asked his subordinates to take Deng Xin away from the back door, while Cheng Shi stayed here and did not leave with Deng Xin!

Cheng Shi found a place to sit down and began to think closed his eyes.

Boss Du came to such a remote place to deceive Manager Zhu, and the painting was targeted to Manager Zhu.

So it is impossible for the other party to have not investigated Manager Zhu and this place, so he left behind and prepared to ask questions!

When Manager Zhu saw Cheng Shi, he did not leave, but stayed here and thought about it. Manager Zhu did not disturb him.

But after Cheng Shi opened his eyes, Manager Zhu smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng, just ask if you have something to do. The person with the surname Du must know that the painting is fake!"

Cheng Shi was not surprised that the other party was so sure, but asked directly: "Have there been any strange people coming to you with some fake antiques recently?!"

Manager Zhu thought for a while and then said, "No, you can see here too, the place is remote.

Moreover, it has been a long time since here, and those who come here are old customers or introduced by people."

Cheng Shi continued: "Then there is a problem. I know you must be the favorite of calligraphy and painting."

Manager Zhu said in confusion: "How do you know?!"

Cheng Shi replied: "The other party used fake calligraphy and painting to deceive you, it must have been planned for a long time. The reason why you did not see the flaws of fake paintings.

The main reason is that you are no longer calm because you like painting, so you ignore some details.

Moreover, this painting is very expensive. The other party must know your preferences and your purchasing strength here, so he will use this painting to deceive you!"

After hearing this, Manager Zhu pondered for a moment and continued, "So you just asked if there are any suspicious people!"

Cheng Shi nodded and continued, "Yes, since there are no suspicious people, then someone has obtained some information from the people around you!

Either the people around you are involved, of course I personally think this person is involved.

I guess everyone close to you should know your preferences and checking habits, but not many people should know how much liquidity you have, right?!"

When Manager Zhu heard this, his face turned cold and continued, "What do you mean is that my relatives are involved?"

Cheng Shi shook his head and continued, "I know that your living capital relatives here should be someone you particularly trust, and I guess it shouldn't be them!"

Manager Zhu's face then calmed down, and he continued, "Who else would know?"

Cheng Shi continued: "This person should have frequent cooperation with you, and it should be business dealings.

So he knows your preferences and personal habits, and from trading with your business, he should be able to calculate your approximate working capital!"

Cheng Shi said here, and Manager Zhu's face turned cold again, and he murmured: "Is it him!"
