The French foreign mercenary group is famous, but the mercenary group does not have a special service setting. They are more like a regular force. France's Safong Security Company is the largest security company in France, and he once bought a security company in the United States for nearly $1.1 billion. He is not the same as international security companies such as IS. They only have special service groups, field service groups, armed guards, bodyguards. Except for the mercenaries.

This time the news said that Cézanne's oil paintings were targeted, and the Safon security company, which was in charge of the French exhibition hall, was very nervous. Security work is different from ordinary work, and if Safang had kept Cézanne safe, no one would have remembered Safong's company. But if the painting is stolen, it will be a serious blow to Shafang's reputation. The winner is not necessarily the king, but the defeated must be the grass. The credibility of a security company is accumulated little by little, and it may only take an hour to destroy the credibility of a security company for many years.

Li Qi and Xun Xuan went to the French exhibition hall as peers, and then they both came to the conclusion that Cézanne's oil paintings could not have been stolen. It's not security at all, it's garrisoning. Fifteen armed police officers and thirty security personnel stood at various points in the exhibition area. The wireless, wired probes operate 24 hours a day, and the most disgusting thing is that there are two security guards standing on either side of Cézanne's painting. Even if someone falls in front of them, they don't even blink their eyes. Sha Fang Baoan just hugged the oil painting in his arms.

Li Qi and Vice Captain Sha Fang were chatting when a child holding a balloon walked towards Cézanne's painting under the guidance of his parents. The child is very beautiful, about six years old. Parents should be white-collar workers with good incomes. It's a happy home. Li Qi couldn't help but take a look at it.

Suddenly, the balloon exploded, spreading a layer of white dust and smoke. The three members of Happiness are all dust. At least five tourists and two security guards in the vicinity were covered in dust. The SWAT officers were stunned for a few seconds. The SWAT Captain shouted, "Activate the bioterrorist attack alarm." ”

This is a standard counter-terrorism procedure. Could it be that the thieves are trying to steal the oil paintings through the anti-terrorist alert? Whether it is or not. This trick does not increase the risk of theft of the painting. Because the security guards and special police have already drilled for fire and terrorist attacks in advance. As soon as it happens. They methodically used people to separate the paintings from the tourists. Blockade of all imports and exports. The SWAT team leader judged the extent of the dust attack. Visitors are divided into three groups, the first being the crowd in the balloon explosion exhibition hall, the second being the crowd in the nearby exhibition hall, and the third being the crowd that is almost impossible to get the virus. The first and second classes were forcibly detained, waiting for the arrival of specialists and doctors.

Xun Xuan and Li Qi were second-class people, they leaned to the side, and Li Qi asked in a low voice: "Terrorist attack?" ”

"No, it won't." Xun preached: "This amount of anthrax virus cannot be mass-produced. In many anthrax alerts, the source of the anthrax was in a poorly managed laboratory. Kill dozens of people with so many anthrax viruses. Terrorists must pay for their lives. ”

Indeed, it is better to divide the anthrax into dozens of parts for the attack. The SWAT captain was beside them, and Li Qi translated his shouting: "He asked the patrol outside the exhibition hall to catch a clown." I think this balloon was given to the child by the clown. ”

Xun Xuan smiled: "If this is the case, people would have slipped away." However, I don't quite understand why this is happening. Did the thieves not expect that the security guards and police were so experienced and prevented them from using the alarm to steal the paintings? ”

Li Qi didn't answer, his eyes fell on the people on the side, who were patting the dust on their bodies on the side, and said with a smile: "I understand." ”

"Huh?"

"The point of this farce is not the anti-terrorist biochemical attack alert. It's in the dust. ”

Xun Xuan didn't understand: "How do you say it?" ”

"When people's clothes are covered with dust, they should be patted clean. What about the oil painting stained with unidentified dust? ”

Xun Xuan suddenly said: "It will definitely be repaired immediately." There are twelve oil paintings in this room. It should all be sent for repair and cleanup. Since there was no opportunity in the exhibition hall, the only way to leave the exhibition hall was to let the painting leave. ”

"Or maybe there's an ambush in the repair room."

As the words fell, a scream was heard in the distance, and then the screams spread. Li Qi looked out from the gate. You can see the Belgian pavilion. There is a child in the pavilion with a balloon in his hand. The balloon exploded under Li Qi's gaze, and the dust spread away. Some children immediately threw away the balloon, and the balloon slowly rose to the ceiling, and it was inevitable that it would explode.

It was not the French showrooms that were attacked by balloons, but the entire showrooms that were attacked by balloons together. Three minutes after the first balloon exploded, nearly a hundred balloons exploded in one minute. The whole exhibition area is gray. Fortunately, all exhibition halls were equipped with security personnel, who immediately contained the chaos of visitors and avoided unnecessary stampede deaths and injuries.

Xun Xuan asked, "Why do you guess the balloon exploded?" "If it's just one, it's okay, but so many are more difficult.

Li Qi said: "The temperature difference between outdoor and indoor today is eight degrees. ”

It's October and Berlin has a pleasant weather in October. However, it is very different from the environment in which art is preserved, such as oil paintings. Although Li Qi did not understand the mystery, he did not understand the details. However, it is guessed that the other party is taking advantage of the difference in temperature or humidity in the exhibition hall to cause the balloon to burst. If this is extrapolated, the balloon that exploded in front of Cézanne's painting was nothing more than an accident. The only thing that is certain is that the restoration room of the pavilion will be very busy today.

Li Qi picked up the phone: "Vice President Ouyang, all of our exhibits are cleaned up on site and do not enter the restoration room." ”

Ouyang Jianlan said: "Everything else is fine, but the twenty-one ink painting may not work." It needs a professional tool to clean up without ruining the image quality. ”

"Just buy a small brush in the supermarket and brush the dust off, it's not so particular." Li Qi said: "I guess something might happen in the restoration room, so it's better not to join in the fun." Besides, it's just a restoration room, and you may not be in line. Do you plan to stick the dust to your ink painting for a few days, or do you buy a brush to clean it up quickly yourself? ”

"......" Ouyang Jianlan said helplessly: "Got it." ”

The anti-terrorist team soon arrived, and after they verified it on the spot, their captain took off his biochemical suit and said, "Flour." "After further investigation, there are only about ten grams of flour in a balloon, which does not affect the balloon to float. Outside the exhibition hall, four clowns distribute balloons to children at the same time. Before the first explosion, they each got into their cars and slipped away. The balloon, on the other hand, is specially custom-made from a festival factory and expands and explodes as soon as the temperature rises above the set temperature. Originally, the festival balloon was not filled with flour, but with confetti. At the same time, this balloon is not cheap, a balloon costs fifteen euros. All of this suggests that this is a group act.

The final auction will take place three days later, and after negotiations, the parties have reached an agreement. The museum will be temporarily closed for three days, and most of the artworks will be restored and cleaned by experts on site. On the fourth day, it will be re-opened and switched on and on the last day of the exhibition. The final auction will be held at 2 p.m. on the same day. At six o'clock in the evening, the Berlin art exhibition officially ended.

Contaminated works of art cannot be sent back with flour, they must be cleaned up and transported scientifically. Several large countries did not have such concerns, and there were not enough local professionals to accompany them, so they chartered flights from China to Berlin. But some smaller countries are more troublesome. They had to find local professionals to clean up the artwork.

In the Chinese exhibition hall, several experts took a small brush and brushed dust from the various stones on display little by little. Li Qi looked at it and wondered, "Teacher, why don't you just take water and wash it?" He thought that this thing would be washed with water and dried. As for this? It takes fifteen minutes for an expert to deal with an inkstone. There are also those who clean up ink paintings, can't they just blow them with a hair dryer?

The expert glanced at Li Qi with a meaningful look: No culture, it's terrible.

Countries were busy in their own exhibition areas, the frames of the oil paintings were removed, and the experts took small brushes and gently brushed the oil paintings. Be more careful than pampering a baby.

In the Egypt pavilion, a man dressed in white walked up to another white-clad restorer and asked, "Excuse me, do you have any detergent?" ”

A bespectacled restorer, almost lying on top of the painting, glanced up at the document on the visitor's chest, then turned to the toolbox next to him to look for it. The person who asked for the detergent was wearing clothes that resembled a doctor's robe, and he took out a scroll of paintings with one hand and laid them on top of the clean paintings, and with his left hand, he removed the underlying paintings, and with one hand, he pushed them, and the paintings rolled up. There was a socket inside the white dress, and he stuck a rolled-up oil painting into the jack. Everything takes only three seconds.

"Thank you." He took the cleaner and turned to leave. Before passing by the Greek Pavilion, he casually pulled out a card from his neck. Swipe your card at the entrance and enter the Greek Pavilion under the watchful eye of security personnel. Then walk to the bathroom.

Several security shortcomings have emerged from the collective cleaning and restoration. The first problem is that professionals don't like people walking around or staring at them. The second drawback is that the security guards in each exhibition area are familiar with each other, but the professionals who arrive temporarily do not know each other at all. The third drawback is the very poor security awareness of professionals.

After the theft in Egypt, the police experimented and found that an ordinary person could pass through the exhibition area as long as he had documents. So how can you get the documents? One could not be simpler: steal. This group of professional thieves steals in front of these professionals, if leisurely shopping is as easy. Some professionals don't find out that their ID is gone until they leave the exhibition hall and need to swipe their cards.

What worries the police is that the Egyptian theft was discovered five minutes after the theft, and that was because the restorers found the painting too clean. That's how many artworks have been dropped and not found. So in addition to the restoration and cleaning personnel, there are also appraisers. There is a limit to what visitors can see, and there is no limit to the number of people who can do it. (To be continued......)
