Chapter 203 Jun Cool (4)
The police contacted the National Criminal Court to investigate the bank account provided by the deputy director. The account was real, but the bank did not know who the account holder was. You may know that the bank will not tell the police the information unless you get a search warrant.
For Bobby, there is good news, that is, the insurance company does not have to pay 200 million. There is also bad news, because the deputy director cannot afford the compensation, the insurance company has to pay 200 million first, and then claim compensation from the deputy director.
There is also some bad news. The wife who is about to divorce the deputy director may not be able to get much of the money.
…
After a night of tossing, the matter has settled. The police are investigating Coote, who helped the deputy director to seduce the tiger away from home on the third day, to see if she is an accomplice of the deputy director, but for many people, it is no longer helpful. Deputy Director
The stupidity of mankind has destroyed the treasures of mankind.
The head bodyguard divided a car to take Chris back to his residence. What surprised Bobby was that Liang Xi went back to the mansion with him and had breakfast together. This made Bobby somewhat touched, and instead comforted Liang Xi: "
You go back and rest. I'm fine, it's just 200 million."
Liang Xi remained silent and ate the cherry cake leisurely, mixed with high-end black tea, and intuitively felt the material enjoyment that money brought.
"Let's go after eating." Bobby called to the head of the bodyguard: "Find someone to take him back. You have been tired for a day, so go and rest."
"Another shift." Liang Xi stood up and said as he walked: "I'll wait for you in the car."
"Not finished yet? I'm very tired, hello! Fuck!" Bobby cursed and stood up, took the coat from the housekeeper Daisy, and hurriedly followed: "Where are you going? What are you doing?"
"There are some things I intend to keep in my stomach."
"What happened?" Bobby asked in surprise, "Didn't Junku get burned? I know, the buyer or someone must have stolen Junku from the car."
"Can you give me some quiet time to think about it?"
Bobby asked: "What are you considering?" It was not thinking, but considering, which meant that Liang Xi was making a decision rather than encountering a problem.
Liang Xi said angrily: "Consider whether to take you with me."
"Hey, my car... you have the final say, I'll shut up." Poppy tugged on his mouth, signaling to close the zipper. It was too bullying.
On the way to the museum, Liang Xi had a strange expression on his face. He was thinking about things and looked at Bobby. He was thinking about things and looked at Bobby. He was so shocked that he couldn't help but whisper: "Someone in the Clement family cheated the insurance company."
?”
Liang Xi was startled, you are really imaginative.
…
The museum is setting up a table and preparing to hold a press conference in the lobby to explain Junku's situation to the public.
The director read the lines in the director's office and read them silently. He put down the lines and walked to the dressing mirror. He combed his white hair with his hands, pulled up his collar, and smoothed the folds of his suit.
The receptionist's voice came from the table: "Director, someone wants to see you."
The curator said: "I don't have time, please make another appointment."
The receptionist said: "It's Bobby Clement, the patriarch of the Clement family."
The Clement family is the largest sponsor of the London Museum. The director said: "Invite him in."
Liang Xi and Bobby entered the curator's office. The curator asked them to sit down and explained: "I'm sorry, you two, I only have five minutes."
Bobby was sitting on the sofa, and Liang Xi casually sat on the sofa armchair next to Bobby: "Don't worry, reporters can wait. Please sit down."
The curator looked at Bobby and sat down: "Is something wrong?"
Liang Xi asked: "Director, what do you think of Junku?"
"What do you think?" The curator tasted it for a while: "In my opinion, Junku may be the oil painting with the most artistic value in human history. It is not just a portrait, nor is it simply a handsome and deep portrait as many people say.
The expression is completely presented so easily. I think Junku was the oil painting with the most exquisite use of color at that time. Even in modern times, compared with the oil paintings of the past thousand years, Junku's color language is unprecedentedly detailed. At the same time, according to my research
, the protagonist of the Junku portrait is probably one of the greatest writers of Biffinci's time. From the autobiographical description of this writer, we can find that his description of his middle age is based on the Junku portrait."
Liang Xidao: "Since it is so great, why was the curator not moved at the scene of the fire yesterday?"
"Um?"
Liang Xidao: "Even if you give up your life, you still have to get some ashes back. This is the behavior that an artist should have."
The curator smiled and asked: "Should I have been buried in the fire last night?"
Liang Xi: "That's wrong, but your behavior is even more wrong. So I judge that you know that the car is a fake or that Junku doesn't exist. This forced me to sort out your information and resume overnight. It's very contradictory. As an artist, you
, you are very indifferent to money, you even pawned real estate to buy oil paintings from Mexican pink lords and donated them to museums. So I asked myself, how could such a person steal Junku?"
Liang Xidao: "Don't worry, we first need to sort out the process of your theft of Junku. The process is very simple. After the oil painting got off the plane, you picked up the plane, borrowed a room at the airport, and checked the integrity of Junku alone. This behavior
It should have made people suspicious, but what happened next made no one suspicious of you. Three old experts at the same level as you, plus the deputy director, the five of you conducted an appraisal on Junku in the museum vault, and confirmed
Junku is an authentic work."
Bobby couldn't understand: "Did you steal it or not?" The curator stole Junku at the airport. How did the fake Junku pass the appraisal of several experts?
Liang Xidao: "There is only one answer. They are accomplices, except for the deputy director. Although the deputy director is an art major, he prefers women to art. When the four old experts are sure that it is authentic, he
How dare you play tricks on others? Besides, with the knowledge of the deputy director, he may not be able to identify the authenticity of Junku. Especially in the past month, the deputy director has experienced the aftershocks of harassment, his wife's divorce, and the hopelessness of promotion to the director's position.
."
The curator was very calm and asked: "Are we accomplices? It may be the theft gang with the oldest average age in history. Where is the evidence?"
"It's strange, why everyone asks me for evidence. I'm a detective, not a policeman." Liang Xi said: "I believe that as long as the police interrogate several old experts separately, as well as Kurt, I think the truth will be revealed.
In the world."
At this point, Bobby still didn't understand: "They are all old experts, and you said that the curator is not interested in money. Why did he steal Junku? Did he collect it himself?"
"Good question! The question you asked is the core issue of Junku's theft case, and it is also the most important question. Solving this puzzle is equivalent to solving the mystery of Junku's theft. Originally, I was also trapped
In the maze, until I remembered what Chris said." Liang Xi took out his mobile phone and found Junku's photo: "This is Junku's owner, a Saudi upstart. He hung Junku in his office to show off his wealth."
Reese told me that oil paintings should not be hung in strong light for a long time. Ultraviolet rays from the sun will be reflected by indoor objects and will damage the color and fabric of the oil painting. The prince is also a smoker, and there is half a cigar burning in the photo. It is caused by tobacco.
Smoke smokes the world's famous paintings every moment."
Liang Xidao: "In the opinion of the curator and other experts, the prince was trying to murder Junku, and they decided to save Junku. This is the most critical core issue in this case. Thank God and thank you Chris."
Liang Xi paused for a moment to look at the curator. The curator was unmoved and sat quietly.
Liang Xi continued to perform: "I don't quite understand some details. I don't think you can make such a comprehensive plan. Stealing Junku is only the first step, and destroying Junku is the ultimate goal. How to make the deputy director jump step by step
Fall into a trap and let the deputy director steal Junku? You can't do it. Framing the deputy director is very organized and planned, and there are many backup plans."
Liang Xidao: "What if the deputy director doesn't fall into the trap? Then use fire or other methods, or even pass the fakes as genuine and send them back to the prince. Maybe the prince will never know that what is hanging on his wall will be a fake.
After the deputy curator is trapped, what should he do if he doesn't use gasoline bombs? It doesn't matter, just burn it, and the deputy curator will definitely take the blame. The deputy curator hides the oil painting elsewhere, which is not a problem. For the planner's team
, it’s too easy to deal with an ordinary person.”
Liang Xi: "As for the account and bank game, the planner grasped the details very well. The deputy director had to believe that the other party was a sincere buyer."
Liang Xidao: "This case has three subjects. The first subject is the collector. The second subject is the planning and action team. The third subject is the scholars represented by you, the curator. Director, you know you can't handle this.
You need help with something. You need money and a way to find help. So you find a collector. I think the collector should be someone like your friend. It is not difficult to find. The collector has money and a way. I found it.
planning team.”
Liang Xidao: "But at this point, I'm confused, curator, how can you trust the planning team? Your expert team is an indispensable part of the planning team's plan. From this, I think of a rich man in London
, he is forty-eight years old, an art collector, and he is still an orphan. This is related to the three characteristics of careful planning, boldness and non-violence. I am basically certain that the planning team is Thresh’s ore group. And the collection
Jia Ze is a member of the Solitary Elders Association. Of course, this part is just a guess on my part. I’m not sure whether it’s correct or not. You don’t need to tell me, I’m not interested either.”
Liang Xidao: "I know Director, you are planning to go to jail. I even guess that you would rather bear the infamy and abandon your life to save Junku. The law is a deterrent, but when a person is full of love and ideals
At this time, the law is never his priority. The most important thing is that you know that doing so is illegal, and at the same time you think that doing so is just."
Liang Xidao: "I can explain or speculate on most questions. Can you please explain a question? The deputy director is facing felony charges for false accusations. Is this what you think is justice?"
The curator thought quietly, then suddenly smiled and said: "If he didn't steal the oil painting, then he will be fine. If he stole the oil painting, then he should go to jail. Today he will steal Junku, and tomorrow he will steal other oil paintings. He
He has low moral character and prefers the buttocks of his female colleagues to working in a museum full of treasures."
Bobby asked: "Why not fire him?"
The curator looked at Bobby: "Don't you know that the deputy director is your mother's classmate? It was your mother who recommended him to join the deputy director directly. I am not satisfied with this personnel arrangement. However, because the museum's main donor has requested it, I will give it to him
A position is not a bad thing. He can handle public and external affairs. Objectively speaking, he has talent but lacks enthusiasm."
The curator said: "I am most worried that after I retire, the Clement family will interfere in the selection of my successor. I believe that my letter of recommendation is useful, but in the end the committee has the final say on the position of curator."
Museums are public welfare institutions and have funding from the government, but they are not under the jurisdiction of the government. They are managed and supervised by third-party unofficial organizations. Such as the Arts Council England. When the director leaves, the Arts Council will convene all parties to discuss the director's affairs.
The resignation is discussed, and the participants usually include the city hall, art experts and scholars, and major private donors and funders. Of course, the curator will also attend to explain the candidates he recommends.
There are only officially funded museums in the UK, but no officially run museums. There are only national museums, not state-owned museums. The Arts Council reviews museums every year. Visitor flow, number and quality of special exhibitions, preservation of artworks, etc.
This will determine the positioning of the museum. Based on this positioning, the official will distribute financial allocations to each museum in proportion.
Museums usually operate on a subsidized basis. When funds are tight, museums will cut costs and increase revenue. For example, selling tickets, dismantling booths, etc. Another way is to find donors. Many consortiums and groups make large donations every year.
, used for charity, scientific research and art. The Museum of London is very lucky. The father of the funder is the Clement Group. The Clement Group covers all basic expenses. At the same time, it is very generous in applying for museum funds. As long as the curator asks, the amount
Within one million pounds, the money will be paid in minutes. Therefore, as a local museum, the London Museum has the ability to hold an exhibition of Biffinci's oil paintings.
But also because of this, the Clement family has a great say in the appointment and dismissal of museum personnel. The director is unwilling to be replaced by a deputy director. He believes that the deputy director will destroy the Museum of London. The director’s dream is to let
The Museum of London has become a global museum like the British Museum. The curator recommended the young Coate because Coate has management, organizational and leadership skills, is extremely devoted to art work, and is passionate. In view of the fact that the deputy director and Coate
