"Is your butt okay?" Bobby and Liang Xi stretched their heads to look at Chris's butt. They were quite curious about the shape of this guy's butt now.

Chris didn't even dodge left and right, he put one hand on the wound: "It's okay, it's okay, it's a small injury, it's a small matter. Let's go in and take a look?"

The three of them entered the museum. The collection of physical evidence has been completed, and the exhibition hall on the first floor has been blocked. Visitors can go directly to the second floor to view famous paintings. However, all Biffinci's famous paintings on the second floor have been replaced with fakes, and only Biffinci's contemporaries have artistic value.

Artist's work.

The first floor is empty, all the exhibits have been removed, and there are guards standing guard at the entrances and exits. The museum has two deputy curators, one male and one female. The female curator is about fifty years old and leads the three of them on foot to the constant-temperature safe in the basement.

Library.

This thermostatic vault was purchased by the Clement family and given to the museum. It is very large and is divided into seven areas. Each area can adjust a different temperature. As for safety, there is definitely no problem. It is said that it can withstand the impact of nuclear bombs.

.

The three of them entered the oil painting storage area, and Chris used his talkative characteristics to give an exclamation about the authenticity of each work of art. From this point of view, Chris' identity as a painter is not that watery. He can tell oil paintings from oil paintings.

The author, and even the story of the work itself. Like a tour guide, introduce these oil paintings to the two tourists.

Liang Xi focused on the picture frame and brought an empty picture frame with no screws and buckles. He opened the eight buckles and separated the frame. The deputy curator brought a fake and placed it flat.

In the picture frame, there are plastic tapes on the four sides of the picture frame, which are pressed downward to hold down the four sides of the oil painting.

Liang Xi asked: "It seems to be very unstable."

The deputy curator replied: "This is to flatten the oil painting, not to prevent theft. If it is firmly fixed, it is likely to damage the canvas. We regularly take the oil painting out of the frame for repairs to avoid long-term pressing that will cause elastic necrosis of the canvas fiber." Oil painting

The canvas material is very strong and is made of the same material as a sail.

Liang Xi stretched out his fingers and gently dug out the oil painting, and the oil painting was pulled out of the fixing strip. He asked the deputy curator to continue. The deputy curator smoothed the fake oil painting, put the outer frame with glass on it, aligned it and installed it, then fastened the eight clips

buckle.

Liang Xi turned the oil painting frame over. The back was a layer of glass, which fit perfectly with the frame. Liang Xi thought that it would take at least 20 seconds for a thief to replace an oil painting that was on display, regardless of the alarm system and guards.

.

Open the eight buckles, take off the outer frame, take away the oil painting, replace it with a fake, flatten the fake with a cassette, install the outer frame, and fasten the buckles.

Judging from Poppy's description, there is a guard about two meters away from Junku. There is a vibration alarm system on the back of the frame. Visitors can only view the oil painting from two meters away. It is very difficult to steal an oil painting during exhibition hours, but it is not something that can be done.

Less than.

Liang Xi asked Bobby: "Did anything unusual happen in the exhibition hall yesterday? For example, someone fainted, someone got into a fight, someone attacked a portrait, etc. How could it cause a certain amount of disorder, or even mobilize the guards?"

Bobby thought for a while: "I'll ask later."

Liang Xi said again: "We also need the financial information, personal information, and immediate family information of Junku's guards."

Chris heard some tricks and asked: "Do you think the thief teamed up with the guards to create chaos and steal the real thing? First of all, you must avoid surveillance. The hall uses wired surveillance. You have to cut into the line to control the surveillance. Or cut off the power directly to use Junku

In terms of the light at the location, as long as the power in the hall is cut off, the surrounding area will fall into darkness." This level is not good.

Bobby said: "As soon as the power goes out, the emergency lights will turn on instantly."

Chris said: "It may not be turned on. The emergency lights are always connected to the power supply, and they will light up when there is no power supply. The thief can cut off the lighting power without cutting off the socket power. In this way, the emergency lights will not know that the lighting is powered off.

Naturally it won’t open.”

Bobby was not sure: "The emergency lights are on separate circuits?"

Two rookies! Watch some movies and pretend to be experts. Liang Xidao: "I want the information to rule out the possibility of the oil painting being stolen during the exhibition. To steal the oil painting during the exhibition, several factors are indispensable. It is easy to check. Once ruled out

If the art is stolen during the exhibition period, there are nine out of ten cases involving insiders. Among art theft cases, 80% of the cases involve insiders. There are many cases of insurance fraud."

Bobby said: "You mean that when the oil painting was transported from Saudi Arabia to the museum, it was already a fake?"

Liang Xidao: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

The deputy director disagreed: "Our director personally went to the airport to pick him up, and a London security company escorted the painting to the museum. The director and another deputy director, two university professors and a deputy director of the British Museum discussed the matter.

Junku carried out an inspection. In addition to checking the authenticity, he also checked whether it was damaged during transportation. After confirming that it was correct, the staff and I sent the oil painting to the vault."

The deputy curator showed everyone that there is a glass cabinet against the wall of the vault, with a layer of black cloth outside to prevent direct light from the oil paintings. The deputy curator uncovered the black cloth, and there were more than ten oil paintings displayed in the glass cabinet. Bobby introduced

The glass cabinet: "Explosion-proof glass, retinal certification. Only the retinas of the curator and two deputy curators can unlock it."

Liang Xi asked: "There should be a record of the unlocking time."

Bobby nodded: "Yes."

Liang Xi asked: "Are there any records of unlocking at abnormal times?"

Bobby replied: "No."

Damn it! The things were not stolen from the vault or during the exhibition. Could it be that they were stolen from the vault on the way to the exhibition hall?

Liang Xidao: "You can ask if there are any abnormal situations. In addition, can the monitoring of the vault be used?"

Poppy replied: "Yes, there are almost no blind spots. However, there are many surveillance cameras. The police have not sorted out this part of the information. Technicians are checking whether there is a possibility that the surveillance cameras have been invaded. It is estimated that there will be results this afternoon." After all, it will take a few days to see.

Several days of surveillance recorded by ten cameras.

…

After understanding the basic situation, in order not to disturb the order of the museum, the three of them left the museum and drove to a nearby coffee shop. Chris had been waiting for Liang Xi's opinion. In order to get Liang Xi to express his point of view, he did not hesitate to throw out ideas and spend a lot of money.

The saliva began to interpret the entire case. After all, it was his nature, which was fully displayed.

Unexpectedly, Liang Xi was lured out for analysis, which made Chris feel cold in his heart.

Liang Xidao: "Art, especially such high-value art, is very difficult to sell. There are usually two ways. The first way is that someone steals the art and looks for a buyer. The second way is for the buyer to find someone.

Stealing art.”

Poppy was confused: "Is there any difference?" Poppy was proud of the silk scarf killer who saved Dai Nu for a day, but was eventually killed by Liang Xi, which made Poppy feel unhappy.

Liang Xi explained: "The first method is usually convenient. For example, I am a museum staff and I discover security risks, or I accidentally discover that there is an opportunity to easily steal art. In this case, because of the

The high value may tempt him to take action. There are also professional art thieves. There are many European art pieces and they are also valuable. Billions of stolen art pieces are bought and sold around the world every year. In the professional art thieves’ business, they

There is an unspoken rule: you will not touch high-end works of art. For example, Mona Lisa’s smile. One reason is that it is difficult to sell, because the whole world knows that the woman’s smile is stolen. Many courageous collectors cannot afford it.

Such a high price. Because of the characteristics of art, brave and wealthy collectors may not like to smile very much."

Liang Xi said again: "Another reason is that the police will intervene in a high-profile manner, and the whole society will also pay attention to this theft case, which is definitely not a good thing for art thieves. In addition, for ceiling-level artworks like Smile, their security is very tight.

Theft is very difficult, and professional art thieves will not touch ceiling-level works of art when there are many uncertain factors and even the possibility of taking action."

Liang Xidao: "Based on this case, I think it should be the second way. A collector wants Junku and finds a professional to steal Junku. Why do you say that? Let's look at the art list, there are many

Although valuable works of art are not as valuable as Junku, the risk and difficulty of stealing them are much lower than Junku. If Bifenda's oil paintings are of first-level security, then the works of art exhibited by Bifenda's masters in the museum at the same time are top-notch.

Most of them only have secondary security.”

Liang Xi continued: "A three-million-pound oil painting is enough for greedy people to take action. If only this oil painting is lost, insurance companies and police will not intervene on a large scale, and the news media will not report it. The media has not yet

Once we know that Junku has been stolen, I guarantee that the news will spread all over the world within an hour once it is announced to the outside world. In summary, no matter whether it is an insider or an outsider, I think there must be a collector who will contact a professional team to steal Junku."

Liang Xidao: "The collectors who target Junku, the theft team who targets Junku, their grades must be high. Such a high-grade team will definitely want to find a mole. At the same time, they also have to worry about one thing,

Many people who work in museums have an incomparable love for artworks. Once they contact the other party and the other party refuses, they are likely to explain it to the police or the museum. Insurance companies will definitely take tough preventive measures first after receiving an early warning. Therefore, theft gangs

To understand the perspective and financial situation of museum staff.”

Liang Xidao: "The news that Junku is on display in the museum should be released very early, so that the thieves have plenty of time to check out the locations and get to know the people in the museum. Bobby, your bodyguards are idle when they are idle, let them take a look at the surveillance.

The museum closes at 7pm. From ten days to three days ago, are there any suspicious people or cars near the museum this week? Visitors should observe the people in the museum. Getting off work is a good opportunity. To contact potential moles,

They may follow the would-be mole in a car and look for opportunities to contact the would-be mole. Even if they call the would-be mole, thieves will keep an eye on the would-be mole's phone call so they can know whether the would-be mole is reliable."

Poppy: "Got it, I'll make arrangements later."

Chris's palms were sweating, but he remained calm. Fortunately, he had Sierra and had already processed several minutes of surveillance video.

"Now we still have to look at the situation in the vault surveillance area." Liang Xi said: "I suggest that the insurance company send people to focus on people who can enter the museum vault, not to find clues and oil paintings, but to deter them from here.

Take action during this period. The mole should have no criminal record and a relatively poor criminal mentality. As long as he finds someone following him, even if he knows that the other person is from an insurance company, he will be worried and dare not take action rashly. Before stealing anything, the mole should be looking for

A safe hiding place. All we can do now is stop the transaction. Or the transaction may have already been completed, completed before yesterday."

Before the museum closed last night, the curator discovered the counterfeit, and then all the staff gathered at the museum for investigation. The police dispatched personnel to take notes overnight. There was no chance last night, or the chance was slim. Everyone is at work today, as long as they send people to keep an eye on it again

If it is stolen, the transaction can be stopped. But if it was stolen before yesterday, the oil painting may have been in the hands of the buyer now.

For now, Liang Xi believes that the information and clues are too complicated, and most of the information has other possibilities. For example, the oil painting may have been moved during the day yesterday and transferred to an accomplice disguised as a tourist.

The case is urgent. The sooner the mole is found, the lower the Junku's theft rate. The longer the delay, the greater the chance that the collector will complete the transaction.

Chris' analysis: "The moles are divided into three categories: museums, insurance companies and security companies..."

Damn it, I came to you to ask you to give me your opinion on the artwork, and to take you out for a walk as a friend. I didn’t ask you to reason and cause trouble. People from insurance companies and security companies dare to touch the artwork? Leave your fingerprints on

All of the above may be dismissed. However, the possibility of the security company changing the package during escort cannot be ruled out. However, the artwork must be appraised by several experts before being put into the vault.

Chris's analysis makes sense, but is biased. The biggest problem is that there is no core focus. Chris classified the possibility of people in three departments stealing Junku, and classified nine times in the three departments. Nine times, three departments,

Split into two more locations, Chris came up with 54 possibilities within five minutes. What was amazing was that this guy spoke for seven minutes at a stretch, making fluent sentences without even swallowing his saliva.

It's a pity that this time it was Wen Gang, otherwise Chris might not have lost his tongue.

…

The information is summarized one after another. The first part of the information: the surveillance has not been invaded, the two full-time guards guarding Junku in the exhibition hall have no problem, the camera has never been blocked, and there have been no accidents in the exhibition hall. This means that it is impossible for anyone to be in the exhibition hall from Junku.

The theft of Junku in the exhibition hall is basically confirmed to be the work of an insider.

In the second part of the information, vault monitoring found some suspicious issues.

According to the plan, Junku will participate in the exhibition on the first day, but the insurance company received unconfirmed early warning information conveyed by the police. Considering safety issues, under the persuasion of the insurance company, fake products were used to replace Junku in the first two days. On the first day

At seven o'clock in the morning, the deputy director, the director and four staff members were preparing exhibits in the vault of the oil painting exhibition area. Because the exhibits had been in the warehouse for more than four days, they had to remove the frames to allow the edges of the canvases to regain their elasticity, because next

During the seven-day exhibition, the exhibits will no longer be returned to the vault, but will hang in the exhibition hall for seven days.

At around 7:10, the curator who was in charge of Junku together with the deputy curator was called to the vault door by the insurance company manager and discussed with the security manager. The security manager told the curator that he had received some uncertain information.

Whether there is reliable news, it is said that someone may cause damage and attack Biffinda's oil paintings. It is proposed that three high-value oil paintings by Biffinci, including Junku, will not be exhibited on Thursday and Friday. The curator agreed to this proposal

, ordered people to go to the storage room next door to get three fakes.
