Suddenly feeling that the atmosphere in the room was a little weird, Jin Muchen turned his head and said with a grin at Jesse.
In fact, he didn't expect that the old man actually quoted Hugo's words describing the burning of the Old Summer Palace by Britain and France, although it was slightly changed, but it was indeed very incendiary.
The old man's words made all the reporters and onlookers feel very angry, although the treasure in the museum had nothing to do with them, but these words obviously touched the patriotic pride in their hearts.
This is a great help for the masses to provide clues to the police station and the museum.
After all, the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, is the pride of many Americans!
But these people are full of food, and then they are angry, Jesse, what are you angry about? Anyway, you are also one of the two robbers, and besides, don't you know whether the treasures in this museum belong to the American masses or not?
Do you regret it?
Jin Muchen saw that Jesse's eyes were very strange when he looked at him at this time, and he couldn't help but feel a little hairy, Jesse's gaze kept wandering on his face, and his eyes were also very strange, so that he had to reach out and touch his face.
"What, what's the problem?"
Jin Muchen finally couldn't help but ask Jesse, and the expression on Jesse's face at this time actually began to gradually turn cold.
"Mu Chen, apart from stealing things, what else are you doing in that museum?"
Jesse's tone was cold. Jin Muchen felt cold in his heart.
"What didn't I do? Just took something! β
"Really? Then why are you setting fire to it? β
"What international jokes are you making. When am I. There was a fire in it, and when we came out, did you not see it, where was the fire? Besides, how can I have the spare time to set fires, and it will be too late to escape! β
Jin Muchen was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood the reason why Jesse was angry, which was special. Just patronized and gladly looked at his masterpiece, which caused trauma to the Americans, but completely ignored what the old man said.
He said that two robbers, one was looting in the museum, and the other was setting a fire.
I'll go, don't you wronged the master, I just took some things that originally belonged to us, when did you set fire to the museum?
Jesse's eyes were cold, and Jin Muchen felt a little weak in his heart.
In fact, he didn't go to Jesse before. I really wanted to set a fire in the museum.
After all, he didn't have a good impression of the person in charge of this museum, the treasures in this museum. Many of them were brought back by these Americans, especially Chinese antiques.
So how could it be said that he didn't hold a grudge against the Americans at all.
Robbed us of so many treasures, after so many years with you, how can it be as simple as paying a little interest, so many years of humiliating history can definitely be regarded as a national feud.
So thinking of the humiliation of China being wantonly ravaged by those great powers, Jin Muchen really moved at that time, and set a fire here and burned it back.
But later, considering that Jesse, who started with her, was an American, no matter what purpose she had for helping herself, but she was an American after all, and she was an American she cared about very much, and it was precisely because of Jesse's feelings that Jin Muchen let go of that absurd idea.
What's more, as a person who understands and loves antiques, he is reluctant to burn the brainchild of so many great human artists with such a fire.
The British, the French, and even the Americans have done a lot of things that are sorry for the Chinese, but that is after all a national thing, and these works of art in this are the art of all mankind.
Just because of the national feud a hundred and ten years ago, so many crystallizations of human thought, art and culture were destroyed, although Jin Muchen was a little selfish, he asked himself if he couldn't do such a cruel thing, so he didn't do those things that were too out of line.
But this curator of Hopkins, when he said this at this time, a pot of was directly buckled on his head, and Jin Muchen knew that other people who didn't know the truth would definitely believe that this fire was set by him and Jesse.
But in front of Jesse, he could never admit that he had set fire to the museum.
Jesse looked at Jin Muchen, Jin Muchen looked back at him directly, his eyes were very clear, honest, and there was no sign of weakness at all, it seemed that he really didn't do anything to set fire.
She has been with Jin Muchen for a long time, and although the relationship between the two is very strange, she prefers to believe in him as a person, otherwise that day, on the beach in Santa Barbara, he could have left himself there alone, and then fled for his life......
"Well, I believe you, but what's the matter with this art museum on fire?"
"How do I know?"
Jin Muchen's answer was a little angry, obviously because of Jesse's suspicion of himself, so he was a little angry.
Jesse smiled and reached out to stroke his chest, "Okay, little boy, what about your manliness?" Now is not the time to be angry, since you didn't put this fire, then we have to find out why they want to detain this basin on us......"
As soon as Jesse's words came out, Jin Muchen was also angry, he was not a stingy person, let alone an indiscriminate person, he knew that what Jesse said was very reasonable.
Although we stole the museum, it doesn't mean that you can throw dirty water on us at will.
ββ¦β¦ In addition to Monet's works in Monet's art gallery, a large number of other oil painting masters were stolen, including Rembrandt's self-portrait, Vermeer's "Concert", as well as Van Gogh and Paul. Works by CΓ©zanne and other masters of art ......"
Hopkins' next announcement of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, suffered this time, and the works of those famous artists he reported, made all the reporters present gasp.
Many of these reporters may not know much about oil painting or art collecting, but they have all heard of the names of these people in Hopkins's mouth.
Take out any one, it is all famous names in the international oil painting world, their names have been recorded in the history books, and their works, just take out a random one, now they are all priced in tens of millions of dollars.
But now their works in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, have been wrapped......
What a loss, how much are these paintings worth combined, hundreds of millions? Or a dozen billions?
You know, there are many famous names in the works of those painters, they have all heard of them, and they can often be featured in various professional magazines.
"Mr. Hopkins, how much can the museum lose this time, and have you counted the results over there?"
"yes? Is it more than a billion dollars? β
There were a few knowledgeable reporters who asked Hopkins questions in a row, and at this time, Hopkins obviously didn't want to talk about this issue, so he directly changed the topic.
"I appeal to those who are in the know, please stand up at this time, and maybe one phone call from you can save all Americans, your children and grandchildren, from such a huge loss. I would like to invite Mr. Shingo Yamamoto, the director of the Oriental Department of the Art Museum, to announce the losses suffered by the Oriental Division......
The old man was obviously bombarded by the media, and then pushed a medium-sized Japanese to the front of the stage.
It was the first time that Jin Muchen saw the image of this enemy who was plotting against him, this guy looked completely different from the Japanese in his impression, with a medium build, short hair and white skin, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which was very different from the obscene Japanese he imagined, and he had the bearing of a scholar.
ββ¦β¦ The loss suffered by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, was unprecedented, not only was a large number of precious oil paintings stolen from the Western Art Department, but even our Oriental Department was looted by the two robbers. The Oriental art treasures we lost this time include ancient Chinese figure paintings, a total of dozens of art paintings, including the "Emperors of the Past Dynasties" by Yan Liben of the Tang Dynasty, which we regard as treasures, as well as the "Pounding Practice" by Song Huizong imitating Zhang Xuan, and Song Huizong's own "Five-colored Parrot Picture...... There are also many treasures of Buddhism, such as the Five Treasures of Buddhism...... and the famous Song Dynasty painting "Five Hundred Arhats" ......"
In front of many reporters, this little Japan also reported the loss of the Oriental Department of the art museum one by one.
And Jin Muchen, who had been sitting in front of the TV, jumped up from the sofa as soon as he heard the loss reported by this guy, especially at the end.
Because of the many losses that this guy said, he remembers very well that he didn't take them at all, what does this mean? This shows that this guy is shouting to catch a thief.
No wonder Hopkins said that someone set a fire in the museum, and it turned out that it was all their own internal people.
It is possible that this Shingo Yamamoto did it alone, or it may have been done by him in conspiration with several other leaders in the museum, or it may have been done by someone else.
"Mu Chen, did you really take those things? It's okay to say about those paintings, but how did you take those Buddha statues, we've seen them before, and many of them are big guys? β
Jesse also looked at Jin Muchen in confusion at this time and asked, that Yamamoto Shingo said a lot of things, but she also stopped her, she has also seen those Buddha statues, the light ones are dozens of catties, and the heavy ones are calculated in tons, how can Jin Muchen take these things?
"Don't you understand? They are thieves shouting to catch thieves! (To be continued......)
