Chapter 147: Scotland Yard
"I saw that you liked it when I was at the museum yesterday, so I bought a souvenir and came back to give it to you." Promise had a sincere smile on his face, as if it was really just a souvenir.
"It's beautiful." After opening the box and seeing the gifts in the box, Kim Taeyeon raised her hand to cover her mouth, and her eyes were wide open and she could barely speak.
Inside the box is a strawberry red rosebud egg, which is inlaid with diamonds and platinum with gorgeous tassel lines, full of royal nobility.
This kind of artwork is already mesmerizing even just by looking at it. However, for women, it is even more fatally attractive. In the face of these shiny things, the woman's attribute is actually not much different from the dragon.
"This can be opened, you can open it and take a look." Promise took a bite of the toast coated with strawberry jam and raised his head slightly to signal Kim Taeyeon to open the dazzling easter egg.
Kim Taeyeon, who was flushed, took a deep breath and slowly stretched out her hand to hold the egg. After gently unscrewing it, a yellow rose made of gold and jade appeared in front of her eyes.
Kim Taeyeon suddenly looked up at Promise, her eyes full of affection, as if the summer heat wave was about to melt Promise.
Kim Taeyeon is not someone who has never seen good things. As an artist, she has long appeared in public with a glamorous face, and she has worn various jewelry sponsored by jewelers when attending various events. The most basic vision is still there.
Having seen and worn a lot of valuable jewelry, Kim Taeyeon can certainly see that this egg is the best choice in terms of craftsmanship and material. If she hadn't known that it was impossible, Kim Taeyeon would have even thought that this was the easter egg she saw in the museum yesterday!
Looking at Kim Taeyeon, who was moved and her beautiful eyes were shining, she was about to pounce on her to give a fragrant kiss. Xu Promise gently hooked the corners of his mouth and showed a smile: "Don't worry, there are surprises." ”
"And?" Kim Taeyeon, who was full of happiness, just wanted to throw herself into the arms of the promise at the moment to express her joy, but she didn't expect the promise to say that there was more?
Unlike China, in South Korea, a country where masculinity is prevalent, the division of wealth between men and women is very clear.
Not to mention boyfriend and girlfriend, even married couples are completely separated on the accounts. Because the country is small, the output is small, and the people are poor. So every thing is precious, and every dollar counts.
Inviting someone to dinner in South Korea is a friendship like an iron buddy, and even the mere gift of a can of drink is considered extraordinary. For example, the promise to give away something that you can see at a glance is absolutely valuable, and the lethality of Korean women is comparable to that of an atomic bomb.
There was once such an incident in the Korean entertainment industry, where a famous host gave a handbag to an actress. This small matter, which is not worth mentioning at all in China, has set off a monstrous wave in South Korea, and all kinds of scandals are even more fanatical than when the United States elected the president. Koreans live a hard life, and women live even harder, which can be seen from here.
"Rose yellow is the most noble color in Germany, and this egg is a replica of the rose egg given to Queen Alexandra from Germany. If you open the roses, you will be pleasantly surprised. There was a smile in Promise's eyes.
It's certainly not an imitation, it's something that was promised to sweep out of the British Museum last night. This easter egg is so beautiful that he couldn't help but withhold it and give it to his woman as a gift. It's not a big deal for promises. It's just to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to Kim Taeyeon, so he said that Kim Taeyeon was an imitation.
'Click~' The yellow rose made of gold has a small mechanism on it, and when Kim Taeyeon gently rotates it, the rose actually blooms into a blooming, brilliant golden flower!
"This is "among the blooming golden flowers, a crown of exquisite workmanship, dazzling brilliance, and inlaid with diamonds!"
Looking at the diamond crown that shimmered with dazzling eyes, Kim Taeyeon suddenly raised her head to look at Promise, and a faint mist had already blurred in her eyes.
"Do you like it?" Before the promise's words were finished, Kim Taeyeon had already thrown herself into the promise's arms.
"Wait until I haven't eaten well"
“”
When I didn't have money before, I promised that I didn't have the ability to give a woman such a valuable item as jewelry, and naturally I didn't know how a woman would react when she received such a gift from her man. He knew it now, though.
The bright morning sun is shining, and the warm sunlight has reflected the warmth of the whole room. Among the eggs that have been opened on the table, the crown of diamonds reflected in the sunlight shines with a dazzling sheen.
In this room full of ambiguity, Kim Taeyeon's voice carried a hint of coquettishness and wheezing, "It's really not good, if you don't set off again, it will be late." ”
"Then let the plane wait for us." The promise under the velvet quilt shook his head, a sullen response.
"It really doesn't work!" Kim Taeyeon, whose face was crimson, struggled to get up and packed her clothes in a panic, "There is only this flight today, so you can't miss it no matter what." I have important work to do tomorrow. ”
"Is it really because of work?" Promise poked his head out of the quilt, propped his head with one hand, and stared at Kim Taeyeon with a smile that seemed to be not smiling, "It's not because I make you unbearable?" ”
"Badass!" Kim Tae-yeon, who was sorting out her clothes, gave a promising look, "Hurry up and get up!" ”――
"How's it going?" The Assistant Superintendent of Police from Scotland Yard's Specialized Crime Department came to the British Museum in person, and the first thing he said when he walked through the door was to ask the on-site commander how the bizarre case was going.
"Sir, it's a bad situation." The scene was commanded by a senior police officer, and the case would have been handled by the Chief Superintendent of the Art and Antiques Section. But it's rare for the British Museum to have such a big case. Foster's commander wanted to come to the scene to make a good appearance rate, so as to leave a slight impression in the hearts of the senior management for future promotions.
However, everything on the scene made the commander's bowels turn blue with regret. If he had known that this would be the case, he would not have died!
"Huh?" Assistant Inspector of Police who leads the Specialized Criminal Division, Phil. Baines stopped. stared at his slippery subordinate with blazing eyes. To be able to make this slippery head so candidly admit that things are terrible is really going to be terrible.
"Tell me more." Baines paused for a moment, then continued walking towards the museum, which was already full of police.
"Yes, sir." A grim-faced Foster began to recount the bizarre case: "At 9:17 p.m. yesterday evening, the Metropolitan Police received an alert from the British Museum. When we arrived, we communicated with the museum and learned that an unknown person had entered the Russian exhibition hall. This man was very sophisticated, destroyed all the surveillance equipment with a pistol, and we were not able to get any useful images or information about the suspect. It is suspected to have used an unprinted sole and a reflective hood. ”
"Veteran." Baines immediately pointed out.
"Yes, sir." Foster hurriedly replied, "At that time, the museum was closed, and all the exhibition halls had been lowered by alloy doors. As you know, the alloy doors here are equipped with time locks, so once closed, don't even think about opening them until the predetermined time. So I ordered all the officers to surround the entire museum in case the suspect escaped. ”
"Go on." Baines kept walking, asking briefly and concisely.
"This morning, after the time lock was unlocked, the staff immediately opened the alloy door with a dynamic password, and then a whole team of CO19 rushed in." Speaking of this, Foster's expression changed very strangely, "But when we went in, we didn't find any trace of a suspect." And many of the most precious works of art in the Russian exhibition hall have disappeared! ”
"No one?" At this time, the two of them and a large group of police officers behind them had arrived at the tightly sealed Russian exhibition hall. The tall Baines frowned, crossed the cordon, looked at the exhibition hall full of police, and asked, "Have you counted the people who entered the exhibition hall?" ”
Foster knew what his boss was asking. There have been similar situations before, where police rushed in after surveillance was destroyed. The suspect wore a police uniform and took advantage of the chaos to blend into the police force and try to get by. In the end, it was keenly noticed by the police.
"Everyone has confirmed it." Foster hurriedly responded, "Both our people and the museum staff have confirmed it at the first time, and there are no extra people on the surface of the camera. ”
"Checked the passages? Has the wall been damaged? Tempered glass windows? Are there any tunnels under the floor? All the corners are checked? Baines then asked.
"Everything was carefully inspected multiple times, even with heartbeat detectors. But nothing was gained. Although Foster was very respectful in his mouth, he was secretly slandering in his heart: "I don't know these most basic things, don't I know that the police have worked in vain for so many years?" If you can't find a solution, the devil will call you! ”
"Interesting." Baines went to several places where there were no artworks, only empty booths, and took a closer look at "Fingerprints? Footprints? ”
"No, not at all." Foster's head shook like a rattle, "The suspect was cunning and didn't leave a shred of useful evidence. It's like his whole person can appear out of thin air, carry something worth hundreds of millions, and then disappear out of thin air. ”
"Since I can't find it here, the man must have left." After a careful turn, Baines immediately issued an order: "Send men to carry out the strictest checks at all ports of entry, and at all the railway stations and airports." They are definitely not allowed to take our precious works of art with them! (To be continued.) )
