**************
Edmund felt like his brain had exploded, how could that be?
Which bastard did it? He stole these things for a bird? Hey? No, stealing these things does seem to be very useful.
The things on display in this exhibition, if they are really classified, seem to be considered historical relics, and they are also the top national treasures of European countries.
Although they are not exquisite handicrafts, the historical value of these things, as well as the value of cultural relics, are definitely far higher than their artistic value.
Although Edmund Sr. is not an archaeological expert, he is still very clear about the historical value of the exhibits on display this time, and these ancient cultural relics from 13,000 to 40,000 years ago can definitely be said to be an important record of human history.
Because of these things, you can make research on the ancestors of your own country, and make inferences about the people who lived in this area at that time.
And such things, in fact, there are still many people in the world who like them, especially those rich guys, who are willing to spend thousands of dollars for these inconspicuous little bones!
At the thought of this, Edmund felt a chill rush from the back of his tail bone to the door of his head.
The Ice Age exhibition hall has been stolen, but what about the specimens in the Museum of Natural History?
Edmund didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly rushed into the museum, but as soon as he entered, he was dumbfounded.
I saw that the entire museum could be said to be full of messes, with bone fragments everywhere.
Complete dinosaur fossil skeleton. was pushed to the ground. Fall to pieces. Pity the ancient overlord, now his head is used as a ball, and he kicks it against the wall and smashes it, and his ribs are broken several times.
On the other side, several dinosaur fossils of the same age also could not escape the poisonous hands, all of which were deliberately pushed to the ground, trampled to pieces, and many bones were simply broken into pieces.
In addition, the fossilized bones of the prehistoric great white shark over there have not survived. He was pushed to the ground from the booth and fell to the ground.
Edmund couldn't believe his eyes, what kind of unconscionable guy did this, this is the British Museum of Natural History, a collection of hundreds of years......
Further inside, he was even more stunned, the British Museum of Natural History is most proud of its collection, more than 27 million specimens of various insects, many of which have been pushed to the ground and then deliberately trampled on with their feet. Even if it is repaired, it is no longer worth repairing.
Look at those insect specimens. Old Edmund felt like his heart was bleeding.
Although he usually doesn't like these strange reptiles, if you really trace back to the source, aren't we humans also developed from these reptiles?
First from single-celled bacteria, it developed into reptiles, beetles, then vertebrates, and then through the period when oviparous animals ruled the earth, and then we mammals.
It can be said that these little insects are the history of the development of life on earth!
Now the British Museum of Natural History's centuries-old collection, accumulation, has almost been destroyed in one fell swoop?
Edmund felt that his brain was about to explode, he felt his heart beat faster, and his brain was full of green tendons, so he hurriedly found a place to sit down, took out the medicine from his pocket, and ate one.
After a long pause, I felt relieved.
He didn't want to and couldn't watch the miserable situation here, if he looked at it carefully, he would be killed on the spot.
Damn Chris, you bastard, where the hell are you on this shift?
Thinking of Chris, who was on duty here last night, Edmund felt angry, although he was old, he still got up and walked quickly to the monitoring room in the back, if he found Chris, that guy was still alive, he would definitely punch him twice.
He came to the monitoring room angrily, and was surprised by what he saw, only to see Chris lying on the ground with a blue nose and swollen face, his hands and feet were tied, and his mouth was sealed.
He hurriedly walked over and tried it on the tip of his nose, but fortunately, he still had a breath, he quickly took out the phone, pressed three nines in a row, and then dialed out......
The phone on the bedside desk beeped, Fred. Waterhouse struggled to open his eyes, then surveyed the room.
A sharp headache made him cover his head and groan @, Made, he drank so much last night that he didn't even know where he was now.
He sat up, only to find that there was a naked and delicate body next to him, and he was sleeping soundly on his side.
At this time, he seemed to come back to his senses, as if he had been chatting with a blonde girl last night before he lost his memory.
I don't know if the one lying next to him now is the girl, if it is, it's fine, if not, he doesn't want it to be a pork chop.
At this moment, the mobile phone that had just stopped chirping began to beep continuously, and Fred pulled the phone one after another, and when he looked at the number, it was his partner Sarah calling.
Damn, don't you remember that Lao Tzu took a turn off today?
Although he was angry, Fred picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.
"Fred, where you are now? What are you doing, drop everything you have at hand, hurry to Exhibition Street in South Kensington, and we will meet in front of the British Museum of Natural History. ”
Before Fred could speak, his partner's machine-gun-like voice was heard on the other end of the phone.
Before he could ask what was going on, Sarah hung up, and Fred shook his head with a wry smile before getting up to wash.
He and Sarah are both important agents of the London Police Headquarters, the Criminal Investigation Bureau of Scotland Yard, that is, CID, and Sarah have been partnered for several years, he knows her character, and she has always been in a hurry, but listening to her tone today, there must be a big incident happening.
So despite his reluctance to give up his vacation, Fred got up and didn't have time to rinse off in the bathroom before he got out of the street shop and headed straight for Exhibition Street.
By the time he arrived at the entrance of the British Museum of Natural History on Exhibition Street, Sarah, with her black hair, was already waiting for him across the street from the museum.
From the moment he entered Exhibition Street, Fred already sensed that something was wrong, because five hundred meters from the British Museum of Natural History, both sides of the street began to be closed.
There were policemen in green reflective suits and high hats everywhere, and at this time, standing across the street, you could see colleagues in the white clothes of the Trace Laboratory who were constantly coming in and out at the entrance of the British Natural History Museum, and there were many gray-haired and emotional old pedants, standing at the door of the museum and shouting with their director......
"Oh my God, how much did you drink yesterday? Didn't you change your clothes when you came out? ”
As soon as Fred came to Sarah's side, he got a roll of her eyes, and Fred smiled nonchalantly as he watched Shah's hand fanning lightly under his nose.
"Don't you know that I'm supposed to take a vacation today? I didn't go home yesterday at all, who knew I would have such an urgent task today? ”
After Fred finished speaking, Sarah rolled her eyes.
"Vacation? I guess for a while in the future, you won't even think about it. ”
"What? Is it serious? What's going on here? Homicide! ”
Fred looked at the museum opposite, his eyes full of curiosity, while Sarah's face was very heavy.
"I don't know exactly what happened, but I heard that there was a robbery here yesterday."
"Robbery? Don't make such jokes, who wants to come here and rob those bugs? What's the use of grabbing which bugs? Do you want to take it home and make soup? ”
Fred made a joke because in his opinion, the British Museum of Natural History really didn't have much to offer, but his partner Sarah didn't think so.
She rolled her eyes again: "Fool, don't you know that an exhibition of Ice Age art is being held here recently?" ”
"Less? Are you kidding? Ice Age Craft Exhibition? At that time, people couldn't eat enough, what mood did they have to make handicrafts? ”
"You bastard, I really don't know how you graduated from high school in the first place? Let me tell you, many of the handicrafts on display in this exhibition come from abroad, including French, German, and Russian ...... There are also many of them from our own country, and I heard that there is a mammoth giant elephant that was frozen 20,000 years ago, and later found by the Russians and made into a specimen, and guess what happened now? ”
Sarah's words made the expression on Fred's face gradually become serious: "What's wrong?" ”
"The two tusks of that mammoth specimen actually disappeared and were sawed off and taken away!"
Sarah's eyes widened and she said, she has been a police officer for more than ten years, and this is the first time she has encountered such a strange robbery.
And when Fred heard this, his eyes suddenly widened: "It's the Chinese, it must be the Chinese who did it, because only they like this ivory product the most." ”
There was obviously a bit of ridicule in his words, and Sarah glanced at him: "Until there is no evidence, don't make such jokes." ”
However, she also felt that what Fred said was not necessarily unreasonable, after all, the most slaughtered elephants in the world are Chinese.
In Kenya and Uganda in Africa, about 4,000 elephants are killed every year, and the main reason they are killed is because Chinese love ivory......
But it's Africa, it's England...... (To be continued......)
