*************
No wonder when it comes to stealing museums, this Jesse has no mental obstacles at all, and if he says to help, he will help, and his father who is in love with her is in this business, maybe there is really a genetic factor in this.
Jin Muchen silently vomited in his heart, but what he was more curious about was what happened to Jesse's father after they went to Egypt?
Could it be that Tutankhamun's curse has been fulfilled again?
Speaking of this Tutankhamun's treasure, it is famous in the world, the jewelry vault of the British royal family that Jin Muchen visited before, and the diamond jewelry of the British royal family has been assessed as the second largest treasure in the world.
Speaking of this, people may be curious, the British royal family has accumulated more than 20,000 pieces of top jewelry for thousands of years, so it can only be ranked second, so which is the world's first treasure?
In fact, the world's greatest treasure is the treasure of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun.
This Pharaoh Tutankhamun is sad enough to say, originally he was an unknown person in history, because his reign was too short, only nine years.
He was the twelfth pharaoh of the New Kingdom of Egypt, succeeded to the throne at the age of nine, and hung up at the age of eighteen.
Coupled with his death, it is obvious that the conspiracy of the usurper was involved, and the successful usurper of course had to rewrite history, so in the history of ancient Egypt. The account of the pharaoh is quite simple and sloppy.
And he was also hastily buried after his death. Compared to other well-known pharaonic tombs. It doesn't matter at all.
Even two hundred years after his death, another emperor simply built his tomb on top of his grave......
Although this was an insult, it was precisely this act that made the pharaoh lie quietly underground for more than 3,000 years, until the arrival of the English, who liked to dig people's ancestral graves everywhere......
In 1922, Howard, known to the British as the 'Great Archaeologist'. Carter discovered Tutankhamun's tomb at a time when journalists from all over the world were gathering in Egypt. They were all waiting for the day when the tomb of the pharaoh, who had not been found before, was unveiled, but during the excavation work before the tomb was uncovered, a plaque found in the clay was overlooked, and the plaque was written with the curse that shocked the world in the future: Whoever disturbed the peace of this pharaoh, the wings of death will descend on his head!
After the tomb was opened, the whole world went crazy with the gold jewelry buried in the tomb.
However, in the six years since the tomb was opened, more than 20 people who participated in the excavation of the tomb have died for inexplicable reasons, and the first one died. It was Lord Carnarvon of England who funded the excavation, and even a whole family died. And they all died inexplicably......
These are still those who have names and surnames, and those who have no names and surnames, and they don't know how many have died.
It was only then that people remembered the curse on the earthen plaque.
Even today, with the development of medical science and technology, many scientists can't explain why those who participated in the development of ancient tombs, or secretly used their hands and feet during the development of the tomb, and carried them with private collections, died in an unclear way.
They can only find some pale reasons to cover up the explanation, what kind of people died is actually not so many, everyone don't worry, or the first batch of people to go in, the reason why most of them will die, is because the air in the tomb is not clean, or the pharaoh's jewelry is smeared with toxins, there are unknown bacteria in the tomb and other clouds, anyway, none of their explanations can stand.
At that time, the archaeologist Carter who was responsible for finding and opening the coffin was more hard, this guy lived for another twenty years, and finally died of a mysterious disease, but he can be very young for twenty years, Jin Muchen has to sigh that this guy is hard, if he was a few years younger at that time, this guy would have the possibility of becoming the British Hu Bayi.
However, since those people died inexplicably, the treasures left by the pharaoh have become a well-known shunt in the antique world, known as the curse of the pharaoh, and ordinary people dare not touch these treasures easily.
Even decades later, most of the pharaoh's treasures are preserved intact on the second floor of the Egyptian Museum, Jin Muchen didn't expect that this Jesse and his fathers would be so bold as to dare to fight the idea of these treasures.
"The last time you took out those jewels from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, they were the relics of the pharaoh, right?"
Jin Muchen asked, Jesse smiled bitterly and nodded, "That's right." Those jewels are the relics of the pharaoh, and they were brought back from Egypt by my father. In fact, their trip to Egypt went well at first, including getting those treasures out of the museum, but later there were some accidents when they escaped, and I asked Rick a few times, but Rick was vague and reluctant to say more. He just told me that there was a rift in their ranks before they went to Egypt, and that he and my dad were on the verge of a rupture with Benjamin because of the accumulated contradictions. My dad and Rick didn't want to go to Egypt for this trip, but Benjamin begged them for the last time, and they agreed. Later, when he left Egypt, Benjamin made several plans, and in order to avoid the capture of the Egyptian police and intelligence services, they divided into several teams, and when they withdrew from Egypt, my father was assigned to Benjamin's group......"
Jesse said this, his eyes were a little red, and Jin Muchen already knew that what she said next should be a tragedy.
"Rick and the others escaped first, waiting for my dad and Benjamin on the Moroccan side, but they didn't expect that the last to wait was the Egyptian agent who did catch up. Rick and his team suffered heavy losses, and in the end only Rick escaped, and then he asked about my father and Benjamin in many ways, but he didn't hear anything about them, but later on the news released by the Egyptian police, he saw the news that my father and they were killed, and Benjamin disappeared. Later, Rick returned to the United States in discouragement, adopted me, and since then has since retired......"
Hearing this, Jin Muchen already understood a little that this should be a relatively old-fashioned story of betraying each other.
"Before I was twenty years old, I never thought about helping my father get revenge, until I started to get into the industry and started to quietly get involved in the underground antiques trade in order to get ahead, and after hearing about the reputation of the Flamingo Hotel. By accident, I met Tariq. Korenhal, even though he changed his name and was much older, I recognized this man at a glance, a man who used to go to my house when I was a child. I wondered at the time, why didn't my dad escape, Rick was so down, and this Tariq could mix so well? After that, I frantically collected all the news about this guy, and then later, I think you should understand......"
When Jesse said this, he looked at Jin Muchen with a wry smile, stopped talking, and then lit a cigarette for himself, came to the window of the apartment, and watched the cars coming and going downstairs, and the crowds were busy.
Jin Muchen sat there and didn't say much, the end of the story, even if Jesse didn't say it, he had already guessed it.
In fact, Benjamin should have planned that trip to Egypt a long time ago, and in order to change his appearance, he planned to take this opportunity to get rid of the two accomplices who had already had a rift with him.
So he invited Rick and Jesse's father to go to Egypt together, but in the end they were betrayed separately, and he himself fled with the booty, and finally became an underground tycoon in Las Vegas in the United States.
It's no wonder that Jesse has been biting on the bite now, wanting to avenge his father, which is the hatred of killing his father!
Could it be that this is another way of fulfilling the curse of the pharaoh?
Jin Muchen's mind suddenly popped up with such a nonsensical thought, but he didn't dare to joke in front of Jesse, after all, the last victim of that incident was her father.
"Well, now that you've determined it's him, do you have any plans, and how are we going to deal with him?"
Jin Muchen came to Jesse's side and said, Jesse, who had been looking at the scenery in front of him, turned his head to look at him at this time, and raised his golden eyebrows.
"This person's current identity is not only the majority shareholder of Flamingo, the underground godfather of Las Vegas, but he also has deep contacts with many wealthy businessmen and political giants. You've figured it out, deal with him, and it might lead to endless trouble, and I don't blame you if you want to quit. ”
At this time, Jin Muchen hugged her tightly in his arms, and then kissed her on the forehead domineeringly.
"Haha, even if he is an immortal, Lao Tzu dares to use a few handfuls to kill the sky into a hole, when I was going to engage in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, you didn't say much, and now you want to avenge the murder of your father, how can I retreat?"
With such a simple sentence, Jesse's originally ice-blue eyes flashed a touch of green in an instant, and the icy iceberg quickly began to melt under the warm sunlight.
Jin Muchen had even seen the spring water in her eyes, hehe, this time, even if it was for her, it was worth it!
Didn't we Chinese say that the grace of a drop of water will be reciprocated by a spring! What's more, between himself and her, it's not as simple as a drop of water! (To be continued......)
