Chapter 970: Backtracking

Monet, Picasso's famous paintings, one by one, are all more than one of the two police cars.

The gang of bandits had apparently done a very careful investigation before coming, or the very detailed information provided to them by the inner ghost Tiani, so they could easily figure out which paintings in this hall were valuable and which were not.

And they also specially pick those valuable paintings to start, such as Monet's paintings, as well as Gauguin's paintings, or Cézanne's paintings, anyway, they specifically pick those famous masterpieces to start.

On the contrary, the paintings of some medium-famous painters are not touched at all, which they seem to be very professional.

They didn't even touch Picasso's paintings, because they knew that although Picasso was very famous, his works also had to be classified, some were very valuable, some were not valuable, and they would even depreciate due to changes in the market.

Picasso's paintings are divided into generations, for example, his early works are now purely at the stage of inflated market prices, although they seem to be very valuable, but if they are more real, they are not valuable, because Picasso became famous after middle age, so his paintings are only after he became famous in middle age, and the works of his later years are the most valuable.

And his works before he became famous, in fact, he couldn't buy a few dollars, and the Japanese bought them back, most of them were Picasso's works before he became famous in his early years, although he was named Picasso, but in fact, the market price of the works was not high.

Even if they take it, it will be a waste of space in the car, but it will be Monet, Gauguin, Cézanne, their works will be more valuable.

Because these works were bought at auction by the Japanese at great cost in the early years, and they had changed hands in many collectors around the world long before they arrived, and the artistic value was recognized by everyone, the price of such works was relatively stable.

Moreover, works of art such as oil paintings also have their own rules when circulating in the market of the underground world.

Unlike things like diamond jewelry, things like diamond jewelry, even if on the right path, you pay millions or tens of millions of dollars to buy them.

But once it is stolen, when it enters the underground world circulation, the price will be greatly discounted, and often the things you buy back for 10 million dollars will be sold for three or four million dollars when they are circulated in the underground black goods market, that is to say, they will be discounted by five or six percent, such a big discount.

If there is no historical treasure, it will be good to be able to sell it for two or three million dollars in the black market, and it is generally a big discount of seven or eight percent to dispose of.

However, when oil painting is a work of art circulating in the black market, there are different rules.

For example, famous works such as Gauguin, Cézanne, and Monet, especially the kind of works of art that have become famous and widely recognized on the Jeongdo market, then even if they are stolen, when they circulate in the black market, the discount will not be too much.

If it is dead, it is a discount of one or two discounts, which means that famous paintings that can be sold for 10 million on the white road can be worth at least 8 million in the black market.

But if it is not a famous painting, it is not the kind of oil painting that is recognized by the majority of collectors, even if it is a masterpiece of a famous artist, such as Picasso's works before he became famous, or Monet's works before he became famous.

Even if these paintings are painted by famous artists such as Picasso and Monet, the value will not be too high, and if they die, they will be bought back for 10 million oil paintings on the white road, and when they reach the black market, they will be worth two or three million at a price.

In other words, although such a painting is famous for its name, its real value is similar to that of diamond jewelry that has not been inherited.

Although the National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo is the only museum in East Asia dedicated to Western art, there are not many famous Western oil paintings that are truly valuable.

Even if there are so many works of Picasso, they are not masterpieces after Picasso became famous, so they are not very valuable, but the paintings of Van Gogh and Monet are more valuable.

I thought that the age of these two people was relatively far away from the present, and there are not many works that have been handed down from generation to generation, so their works, whether they are recognized as famous paintings or not, are quite valuable as long as they are on the market.

And these bandits obviously also got information from Tian Jing, so they started so accurately, they were obviously picking those paintings with the highest value.

Although the National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo is relatively famous in Asia, it is just a very ordinary art museum in the world, especially compared to those art museums that are relatively famous in the West and have a collection of tens of thousands of paintings, this art museum is really not even a fart.

Think about it, the collection of paintings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA, is counted in units of 100,000, and there are no less than 20,000 ancient Chinese paintings in the collection alone, and Western oil paintings, which are measured in 100,000 units, among which the masterpieces of famous artists are countless, and it can be said that in the art museum, any painting is a masterpiece of famous artists.

However, in the National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo, Japan, there are more than 2,000 Western oil paintings in the collection, among which there are only a dozen famous and can be called in the world.

So these bandits were much happier when they started to do it, and they directly asked those security guards to put all the most valuable oil paintings in the car.

Then without nonsense, a few of them were dispatched, escorting those security guards straight to the warehouse on the second basement floor downstairs, and the other few people drove the two fake police cars straight to the entrance of the underground parking lot.

Jin Muchen didn't choose to go down with those security guards, but went directly into the trunk of one of the two police cars, and soon took the car to the underground parking garage.

The gang of bandits was quite familiar with the environment of the route, and apparently had done quite a bit of work before coming.

When they reached the second basement floor, it happened that the door of the warehouse had been opened by the Tianjing inside, and then two of the bandits got out of the car, put on special glasses, and began to walk around the warehouse.

The glasses they wore were all specially made, and Na Tian made marks on the outside of those boxes, but they used special spray paint, which would not be visible at all if they were normally looking, but with special glasses, they could see the traces of those spray paints.

Soon the bandits picked out all the boxes that had been marked by the athletics, and then asked the security guards to load the boxes on the two police cars.

These two cars are armored vehicles that Ford has specially modified for special police, and the rear compartment is quite spacious, and it is not a problem to install more than a dozen special police, and if necessary, it can also be transformed into an on-site command vehicle, so the bearing weight is quite amazing.

Under the urging of those bandits, the security guards filled the trunks of the two cars, and they couldn't stuff them anymore.

Jin Muchen also felt strange, this car was crammed to the brim, how could these people retreat when the time came?

Police cars are stuffed with art, so where are these gangsters sitting?

Soon he found himself thinking too much, the two police cars were crammed, and the gang of gangsters drove several small vans directly out of the underground garage.

These guys, apparently premeditated for a long time, must have stepped on plates here before, and actually parked several vans in the underground garage here.

The security guards of the art museum obviously didn't expect this, and they were soon forced to fill the pickup trucks to half full.

"Okay, thank you, you're on your last move, and we'll let you go. You are only security guards, not police, rest assured, we will not harm civilians. ”

The bandits who took the lead shouted at these security guards in Japanese with the smell of kimchi, and when these security guards heard this, they were all overjoyed, after all, being able to save a small life in such an environment is a victory for them.

When they heard that they could survive, everyone's eyes were full of joy, but no one dared to show it, but when they turned around to move things, they were full of energy.

But just as they turned around and wanted to move the boxes, the bandits suddenly raised their submachine guns......

"Dada......"

The underground garage is full of the echoes of submachine gun fire, but fortunately this is the second basement floor, but don't worry, the gunfire here will spread, in fact, this National Museum of Western Art, because it is really inside Ueno Park, and the area is relatively large, and it is relatively empty, even if you shoot on the ground, it will not necessarily attract the attention of outsiders.

You must know that before, these bandits and those policemen were on the first floor of the upper floor, and there was an exchange of fire, but until now, I haven't seen any police coming, so these gangs of bandits obviously calculated this, and they are not afraid that the police will come at this time.

Poor security guards, obediently worked as porters for more than two hours, but in the end they still couldn't escape, and they were all beaten into a sieve by these gangsters.

It was about half a minute, and all the submachine gun bullets in the hands of the bandits were fired out, and none of the security guards could breathe, and then the leader of the bandits greeted him, and all the bandits boarded the truck.

However, the leader of the bandits did not rush to leave, but went directly to the warehouse, and from behind a cement pillar, dragged out the field well, where he had been hiding and shining.

"You come with us."

"I'd better stay and take care of the aftermath, we agreed before."

Tian Jing replied tremblingly, with a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone, but the bandit leader smiled contemptuously: "Yes, we talked about it before, but I don't think like that now." (To be continued.) )
