"BBC News front page headline."
Schaefer handed a newspaper to Chen Yiyang.
"French antique furniture appraisal expert Palot has been arrested on suspicion of mass forging antique chairs."
Chen Yiyang took the newspaper, glanced through it, and found that it was just as he suspected. Palot had been forging antique furniture for several years.
Even more impressive, all the antique furniture he had appraised for the Palace of Versailles, claimed to have been used by 18th-century French celebrities, were fakes. (True story)
He had his carpenter friends make them, found someone to impersonate a collector, contacted the Palace of Versailles, and then sold them to the Palace.
In other words, the batch of French antique furniture treasured by the Palace of Versailles as national treasures are all fakes!
The reason these fake pieces weren't discovered is that, before they entered the Palace of Versailles, the appraiser hired by the palace was him!
