Chapter 525
Jiang Qufeng's appearance is unremarkable, his hairstyle is particularly conspicuous, his body is slightly thin, his personality is obvious, and his expression is cold, giving people a feeling of being repulsive to others.
After Liu Manman got out of the car, Jiang Qufeng turned a blind eye to her.
Chu Chen originally wanted to introduce Liu Manman to Jiang Qufeng, but seeing that Jiang Qufeng didn't seem to be very interested, he gave up. After all, for Senior Jiang, knowing one more friend would create more communication barriers.
"It's really lively today." Chu Chen raised his head and glanced around. There was a queue at the entrance of the Pazhou Exhibition Hall, everyone checking in.
Jiang Qufeng took the lead to walk forward. Liu Manman glanced at Jiang Qufeng's back, then lowered her voice and said, "This friend of yours is a bit strange."
Chu Chen smiled and did not answer Liu Manman's question. He walked forward and said casually, "Is there anything special about today's exhibition?"
"This should be the largest calligraphy and painting exhibition held in Guangdong Province this year." Liu Manman obviously put a lot of effort into this exhibition and said without hesitation, "There are more than a thousand exhibits, and they are all of high quality.
There are calligraphy and painting works of great collection value, including calligraphy and painting collections worth millions or even tens of millions. The one that has attracted the most attention today should be the treasure from the collection of the Yangcheng Museum, the Five Sheep Picture. This is the Five Sheep Picture.
Unveiled to a general audience for the first time, it is said that the Five Sheep Picture has a history of hundreds of years and the author is unknown. However, the level of this painting is so high that it puts many contemporary painting masters to shame."
Chu Chen paid attention to Jiang Qufeng. When Liu Manman mentioned the Five Sheep Diagram, Jiang Qufeng paused slightly.
Will the big thief Huo Yan come for the Five Sheep Picture?
Chu Chen understood that Jiang Qufeng also had the same idea.
"So, I'm also interested in the Five Sheep Picture." Chu Chen quickened his pace, "Let's go."
Liu Manman smiled, her eyes showing expectation, "Although the Five Sheep Picture is not among the top ten ancient paintings in China, its collection value is immeasurable."
There are two types of people who enter the exhibition hall to appreciate the paintings. One is to buy a ticket to enter, and the other is to receive an invitation. Some people come to the exhibition hall not just to appreciate the paintings, but also to see the works of industry masters.
Style.
Jiang Qufeng led Chu Chen into the exhibition hall through the guest passage. Although there were many people queuing outside, the exhibition hall was large enough. In addition to the calligraphy and painting works displayed in the hall, there were also separate rooms to accommodate the flow of people.
To be clear, the three of them didn't feel crowded after entering.
"It's really good." As Chu Chen walked, he looked at the calligraphy and painting works on both sides, commenting a few words from time to time. Liu Manman answered the conversation at the side. The two chatted quite happily, which made Chu Chen feel that the misunderstanding last night was really true.
It was so timely, otherwise he would probably have to cry after following Jiang Qufeng around here for the whole day.
"By the way, there is a calligraphy and painting master painting on site today." Liu Manman glanced at Chu Chen, "You are quite familiar with it, Master Luo Ke."
A painting of eight horses by Chu Chen defeated Luo Ke and shocked the world of calligraphy and painting.
A calligraphy and painting exhibition was held in Yangcheng. Master Luo Ke was equivalent to half of the host, so naturally he was the first one to come out.
In addition to tourists and guests, the exhibition hall also arranged a large number of security guards to ensure the safety of the paintings.
The two of them talked as they walked, and soon reached the central hall of the exhibition hall.
Many people gathered here.
"Master Rock will be here in ten minutes."
"I finally have the opportunity to witness Master Luo Ke writing the Eight Horses Picture with ink. Today is so worth it."
"Yes, I made a special trip from the capital. I have two purposes today. One is the Five Sheep Picture, which I have admired just now. It is really shocking. The other one is, of course, Master Luo Ke's Eight Horses Picture."
"Just to put it bluntly, don't you know that in today's world of calligraphy and painting, Master Luo Ke's Eight Horses painting can no longer be regarded as the pinnacle of the Eight Horses painting."
"I'm afraid you have never seen Chu Chen's two immortals enter the trance! It was truly magical. I was there at the time..."
Chu Chen originally wanted to walk this way, but after hearing these words, he immediately changed direction. He didn't want to be recognized and become one of the exhibits here.
"You are quite popular in Yangcheng." Liu Manman teased, and then subconsciously glanced at Jiang Qufeng, who was walking at the front.
From beginning to end, this weirdo didn't say a word.
What on earth is he doing here?
There are many small halls in the exhibition hall, and the works displayed in each small hall are almost of the same category. Naturally, Chu Chen will not stop in every small hall, but only selects the ones that interest him to appreciate for a while.
When passing by a small hall with paintings and calligraphy works on flowers and plants, Liu Manman's footsteps obviously paused.
But Jiang Qufeng didn't stop.
"You go in, I'll wait for you outside and say a few words to him by the way." Chu Chen pointed at Jiang Qufeng.
Liu Manman nodded. In the field of painting, she was indeed particularly interested in flowers.
After Liu Manman entered the small hall, Chu Chen caught up with Jiang Qufeng, "Senior Jiang, do you think the big thief Huo Yan will come for the Five Sheep Picture?"
Jiang Qufeng nodded.
"Do you think he will come to visit today?"
Jiang Qufeng nodded.
"But I carefully read the information about the big thief Huo Yan, and there is no image related to him at all. Even if he appears here, can you recognize him?"
Jiang Qufeng shook his head.
Chu Chen's mouth twitched, "Then how do we find it?"
Jiang Qufeng paused, stunned, and looked at Chu Chen, as if to say, you actually asked a question that couldn't be answered with your head movements.
After a long while, Jiang Qufeng spoke, "View."
Liu Manman came out after appreciating the work, and Jiang Qufeng spoke again, "Check."
Liu Manman was stunned, "Would you like tea? There is a tea place in the lobby. However, I suggest that we go to see the Five Sheep Pictures first. The Five Sheep Pictures are in the innermost exhibition hall. There will be limited admission to the exhibition hall, and everyone must stay.
No more than five minutes.”
"Then let's take a look at the Five Sheep Pictures first." Chu Chen understood what Jiang Qufeng meant. Today he just speculated that the thief Huo Yan would come back to check out the site, but there was really little information about the thief Huo Yan. Although the robber Huo Yan committed
He had committed several major crimes but did not leave any images at the scene. Therefore, it would be extremely difficult to identify the suspected thief Huo Yan among the crowd with his own eyes.
But Jiang Qufeng can only use this stupid method now.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the last exhibition hall.
Since each person can only visit for five minutes, even if there are more people coming for the Five Sheep Pictures, they will be divided. Although there are people queuing at the entrance of the exhibition hall, it is not too exaggerated.
Chu Chen and the other three came to the back of the team.
After waiting for a while, the three of them entered the exhibition hall.
The mysterious Five Sheep Diagram instantly caught Chu Chen's eyes.
In order to protect the quality of the painting, the Five Sheep Picture was carefully framed and sealed. It is eight meters long and nearly two meters wide. The painting depicts five sheep in different forms and is lifelike. Everyone who enters the exhibition hall is immediately attracted by the Five Sheep Picture.
attracted.
"To be fair, I only have five minutes to appreciate such a huge scene, which is really too little." Chu Chen couldn't help but sigh. When they first came in, they heard someone complaining, feeling that the time was too little.
, however, under the guidance of the staff, no one broke the rules.
Jiang Qufeng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something to Chu Chen, but finally held back.
For five minutes, Liu Manman's mind was all on the Five Sheep Diagram, while Chu Chen looked around for a while. The exhibition hall was extremely sealed. In this case, anyone who wanted to steal the Five Sheep Diagram could only go through the front entrance.
Come in, theoretically, as long as there is sufficient security at the front entrance, the Five Sheep Diagram can be ensured to be foolproof.
Of course, this is just in theory. Before any stolen treasure is stolen, it will be considered to be well-guarded and foolproof.
After leaving the Five Sheep Picture Exhibition Hall, Chu Chen and the other two returned to the hall. Luo Ke had already arrived. However, to everyone's surprise, Luo Ke did not draw the Eight Horses picture.
"It seems that Master Luo Ke hasn't gotten over the shadow of that defeat yet." Liu Manman sighed, and then glanced at Chu Chen.
Someone nearby heard Liu Manman's voice and glanced at the beauty subconsciously. The corner of his eye fell on Chu Chen inadvertently. He paused for a moment, and then he was surprised, "Chu Chen! Master Chu!"
Many people looked sideways, and the scene suddenly became commotion.
"I just said that I saw a person who looked very much like Master Chu. It turned out to be true."
"I have the honor to witness with my own eyes Master Chu's unique skill of enchanting the two immortals!"
"Master Chu, come and show us?"
Chu Chen became an exhibit in an instant.
Glancing at Luo Ke, whose smile gradually solidified and darkened, Chu Chen showed an awkward yet polite smile.
"Sorry, I have something else to do."
Chu Chen turned around and walked out of the exhibition hall. The security at the scene had already heard the news and came to maintain order.
Liu Manman caught up with Chu Chen and said with a smile, "Look, what I said is right. Your popularity in Yangcheng is not inferior to Master Luo Ke."
Jiang Qufeng stopped, glanced at Liu Manman, and frowned slightly, seeming to blame Chu Chen for bringing a woman out.
Women will only influence him to solve the case.
Chu Chen coughed and said, "In this situation, I can't go in."
Although Liu Manman didn't know Jiang Qufeng's identity, she still had the ability to observe people's emotions. Knowing that Jiang Qufeng and Chu Chen had something to do, she immediately took the initiative and said, "How about I go back and take a walk by myself."
After Liu Manman left, Chu Chen looked at Jiang Qufeng, "Senior Jiang, did you find anything?"
Jiang Qufeng turned around and walked away without saying a word.
Chu Chen followed Jiang Qufeng to the control room of Pazhou Exhibition Hall.
When people in the monitoring room saw Jiang Qufeng and Chu Chen coming in, they all stood up and performed a military salute.
Immediately, one of them spoke proactively, holding a piece of data in his hand, "From the opening of the exhibition hall at nine o'clock to now, there have been 1,325 tourists entering the Wuyang Picture Exhibition Hall. Among them, 29 people
After entering, my attention was distracted and I looked at the layout of the exhibition hall."
As the man spoke, he walked to the computer and retrieved the screenshots of the twenty-nine people. There was personal information next to each portrait.
Jiang Qufeng looked at Chu Chen.
Chu Chen suddenly realized.
He finally understood why he only had five minutes of viewing time.
For true calligraphy and painting lovers, during the five minutes of appreciation, their attention must be focused on the Five Sheep Pictures, and there is no time to be distracted by the layout of the exhibition hall.
Only people with ulterior motives would observe the layout of the exhibition hall in such a short period of time.
