Chapter 290 Bronze Drum 2
"Jiannan, Jiannan, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with your body?" Zuo Xiang whispered.

Fan Jiannan came back to his senses and said with a slight smile, "It's nothing, it's just that this musical instrument reminded me of something. Mr. Zhong, do you have any other relevant information about this bronze drum? This photo is too small, and there are many details. I can't see where."

Mr. Zhong thought for a while and said, "I still have a few photos, which were taken with a professional high-resolution camera. They were originally used as the basis for the appearance of the restoration."

"Very good, where are those photos?" Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "I want to take a closer look?"

Mr. Zhong thought for a while and said, "I saved a copy on the Internet. Is there a computer network here?"

Fan Jiannan nodded, and turned on the computer on the table casually.Mr. Zhong obtained these photos from a certain network storage device.These few photos are really clear, it can be said that every detail is clearly visible, even the wear and scratches on the copperware are clearly photographed.

After the picture is enlarged, it can finally be seen clearly. On the surface of the turquoise bronze drum, there are dense patterns of frogs, layered on top of each other, surrounding the center of the bronze drum.The rust and wear on the surface make the decoration look shockingly old.

The bronze drum decorated with frogs made Fan Jiannan's heart skip a beat.Zhang Qiulie once mentioned that the key item to find the secret treasure is not the bronze drum decorated with frogs?How could this kind of bronze drum used by ethnic minorities in China suddenly flow into Hong Kong, and it was through abnormal channels.Could this bronze drum be the one Zhang Qiulie mentioned?
But it's not right, according to Zhang Qiulie, Jubu Guizheng should have already got the frog-patterned bronze drum.Maybe it's just a coincidence, or maybe this kind of frog decoration is very common on bronze drums.Just like the cloud-thunder pattern and Taotie pattern on Shang and Zhou bronze wares, it is a common thing.

Fan Jiannan turned his head to look at Mr. Zhong and said, "It's okay to ask me to help, but can you let me meet your friend, after all, he is the real owner."

"Well, do we have to see him in person?" Mr. Zhong asked in surprise.

Fan Jiannan smiled slightly, "Could it be that he doesn't know about this?"

Mr. Zhong smiled wryly, "To be honest, I still don't know how to tell him about this."

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "I understand, so how about it, you pass me all the information about this bronze drum. I want to take a look first, and then take me to the place where it was stolen."

"This...couldn't Master Fan figure out where this bronze drum is right away?" Mr. Zhong said a little discouraged.

Fan Jiannan smiled slightly, "I know that many people regard me as a magic stick for fortune-telling. But in fact, fortune-telling is also a science. The so-called divination technique is actually a guessing technique in the final analysis, because I superimpose many external factors together , analyze and compare, and then deduce the conclusion that is closest to the facts.

It sounds simple, but in fact the process is quite complicated.So the more known conditions I have, the more accurate I can get the hexagram.I can't say in general terms that things are in the east or in the west.If I were like that, I would really be a liar. "

Mr. Zhong nodded repeatedly, "Master Fan's hexagram skills can be said to be unparalleled in Hong Kong and Kowloon. How dare I doubt it. Alas, it's just that I am so anxious now. I made a mistake, I made a mistake. I have the information about this bronze drum. Yes, I will prepare right now. As for going to the place where it was stolen, I have my address on my business card. If the two masters are free and can go there at any time, I will definitely wait for you.”

Fan Jiannan also acted as if nothing had happened, and exchanged some pleasantries with him with a smile.

When Mr. Zhong said goodbye and left, his face became heavy.Prime Minister Zuo glanced at him, and said in a low voice, "I also looked at the photo, Jiannan, do you think it's the bronze drum my master mentioned?"

"I don't know, but this matter seems a bit weird. The missing bronze drum and its owner, who has never shown up, seem to be very mysterious. It's hard to judge now." Fan Jiannan frowned. "But I thought if I could go to where it was stolen, maybe I could find something."

"How to check?" Prime Minister Zuo asked strangely.

Fan Jiannan said in a low voice, "If it is really related to magicians, there should be some special features on this kind of old objects. For example, abnormal fluctuations in magic power, strange physical properties, etc. In this case, no matter where this bronze drum is placed Somewhere, there will always be a trace left."

Prime Minister Zuo nodded, "That's true."

"However, I always feel that something is wrong. We just got the news about the secret treasure from Zhang Qiulie just now. How could it be such a coincidence that this suspected bronze drum appeared so soon?" Fan Jiannan frowned, "If This is a trap deliberately arranged, so what is the purpose of the other party?"

"Trap? Probably not. What Mr. Zhong said doesn't seem to be a lie." Prime Minister Zuo shook his head.

"No matter what, let's first understand the background of this bronze drum clearly. The same is true about the secret treasure." Fan Jiannan said, "We have too little knowledge about these two things. Regarding the secret treasure, apart from some illusory legends, there is only This bronze drum is dead, but we still don’t know anything about this bronze drum.”

Prime Minister Zuo frowned and said, "I think of a person. This person knows some ancient things and legends better than us. Maybe he can help us."

"Who?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

Zuo Xiang smiled slightly and said, "Do you still remember that professor of history at Jiang University? Xiao Fuyi, Professor Xiao. He studies the origin of Yishu, maybe he knows more about secret treasures."

Fan Jiannan suddenly realized, and laughed, "Look at my brain, how could I have forgotten him, this old gentleman is very talkative."

"You are not forgetful, you are absent-minded." Zuo Xiang sighed, "You have always been in this state of restlessness these days. How is your physical condition? This is not at all like the usual Fan Jiannan , you have already begun to worry us."

Fan Jiannan shrugged with a smile and sighed, "Your tone is becoming more and more like Feng Yuan. About my physical condition, I have to ask several times a day. The day before yesterday, I boiled a big pot of traditional Chinese medicine for me, saying it is a tonic. Actually, I body, I know best, as long as it does not consume mana too much, there is no problem for the time being."

Zuo Xiang nodded and said, "That's good, I have Professor Xiao's phone number, I'll call him. Find out what's going on."

Fan Jiannan waved his hand and said, "Don't be so troublesome. With Lao Xiao's talking style, can you make it clear on the phone? Besides, he should be in class right now. I have his Q number. You should make an appointment with him first, and you will pass the Internet later. Direct video chat."

Left Phase nodded.
