However, although an anti-theft door is installed, there is no electronic security system installed here like Monet's gallery, and it is not very heavy.
But even so, Jesse, who lacked demolition tools, still spent almost two hours to crack the security door.
When Jin Muchen arrived, she had just entered the exhibition hall.
"You've got it all?"
Jesse asked Jin Muchen if he arrived, Jin Muchen smiled at her and nodded, and then raised the big bag in his hand.
"Where's your side?"
"It's almost there!"
Jesse replied, and then turned his head and walked to the middle of the display case, there are a lot of antique jewelry from ancient Egypt in this room, Jin Muchen also followed Jesse before, came to see it a few times.
But Jesse didn't tell him that those were the ones she valued the most.
She came to a display case, Jin Muchen followed her gaze and looked inside, only to see a bracelet inside, very beautiful.
This bracelet is made of various gemstones and gold, about two centimeters wide, connected by gold beads and gold wires, each row has about five gems of various colors of similar size and specifications, respectively, there are chloresse, turquoise, malachite, chalcedony, lapis lazuli and other gems in a row, and then connected together with gold threads, in the middle part of the whole bracelet, is a huge round lilac garnet, this garnet is only three centimeters in diameter, although it has gone through thousands of years of history, But you can still see the faint purple light on this gem.
Although Jin Muchen doesn't understand the characteristics of antique jewelry in ancient Egypt, this bracelet. Just a glance at it. He knew it. Definitely not ordinary.
Such a high-standard treasure, even those nobles in ancient Egypt back then, may not be able to afford it, it must be the pharaoh of the year, or the ornaments of the pharaoh's wives.
If you don't make a mistake, with the origin of this bracelet and its own value, this bracelet will be amazing.
Although he doesn't know very well. The price of ancient Egyptian antique jewelry in the market, but he estimated that such a bracelet, in terms of his artistic value and historical value, tens of millions of dollars, would never run.
Looking at Jesse's stupid eyes looking at this bracelet, Jin Muchen knew that this should be what Jesse was looking for.
Jesse didn't do it, Jin Muchen couldn't afford to wait. Pick up the hammer and swing it gently. The glass shield disappeared, and in Jesse's surprised gaze, Jin Muchen took out the bracelet and stuffed it into Jesse's hand.
"It's not a good time to be in a daze, we have to hurry, it's half past three now, and in two hours, it's going to be dawn, we have to hurry."
Jin Muchen looked at Jesse and said, Jesse sighed, and then nodded.
After that, he took Jin Muchen to another glass cabinet, where there was a huge ring, made of gold, but on the interface was a scarab made of lapis lazuli.
The so-called scarab beetle is actually what we call a shell, and anyone who has watched the movie "The Mummy" has seen it from the movie, the overwhelming black bugs.
This kind of thing looks disgusting, but in the eyes of the ancient Egyptians, it was a holy thing, with the meaning of rebirth or death.
Therefore, the image of this insect can be seen on many ancient Egyptian jewelry.
The ring in front of me is a typical representative, this ring looks very large, there are many small gemstones on both sides of the ring face, and the scarab beetle made of lapis lazuli in the middle looks particularly conspicuous.
This time it was Jesse's hand, and as soon as the hammer went down, the ring was taken out.
Jin Muchen took it and took a look, only to see that there were several crooked hieroglyphs inside the ring face.
"This ring is thousands of years old, and the words in it are the name of the owner of the ring, as well as the word eternal life. The scarab beetle was regarded by the ancient Egyptians as a symbol of rebirth after death and life force, and was generally placed in the heart of the mummy after the death of the owner, after being mummified......"
Jesse explained to Jin Muchen, and Jin Muchen's hand trembled when he heard it, and he almost didn't throw the ring out.
"You mean, this thing came out of the heart of a mummy?"
Thinking that the thing he was holding in his hand was actually taken out of the heart of a dried corpse, Jin Muchen felt an irrepressible squirming in his stomach.
"What do you think?"
Jesse glanced at him angrily, Jin Muchen hurriedly threw the ring out, and wanted to reach out to cover his mouth, but when he thought of his hand just now, as soon as he touched the ring, he could only force his hand down again, and his throat was even more retching.
When Jesse saw him, he rolled his eyes and smiled.
"Teasing you! This thing is not placed inside the mummy's body, but on the outside of the heart. β
As soon as Jesse said this, Jin Muchen stopped retching, stopped and glared at Jesse and said, "You didn't say it earlier!" I almost threw up the DNA evidence, and if that's the case, will you clean it up? β
"Huh! It's disgusting, get away from me. β
Jesse looked disgusted, reached out and fanned the front of his nose, and then walked to the next display case.
And Jin Muchen said with a hippie smile: "Speaking of DNA evidence, you collect the most from me every day, and you also supplement a lot of protein from me every day......"
"Damn it, you bastard......"
Jesse also heard the flirtatious taste in his words, and his mind flashed to those shameless pictures of the two of them when they were together these days.
I couldn't help but jump over, stretched out my hand to cover his mouth, and I don't know what was going on, the air seemed to heat up all of a sudden, and then the two gnawed together, and it took a while to let go of each other.
"Well, this isn't the place to do that, and it's not a good time to do that, so let's hurry up and get out of here."
Jin Muchen said to Jesse, this time Jesse's face turned red, he didn't raise the bar with him, and took him to a showcase again.
In this display case, lying is a chest ornament, the kind worn by men who are not in fashion.
It's not a necklace, to put it more bluntly, it should be a pendant hanging under the necklace, but the size of this pendant is not small.
It is a trapezoidal shape from top to bottom, divided into the middle, all connected by gold, and there are carved patterns and patterns in the middle of each layer, and some key parts, there are various gems to decorate, which looks quite beautiful.
At the top of this trapezoidal gold ornament are two wings made of gold, and in the middle of the wings, there is also a scarab carved from lilac garnets.
The whole pendant, about the size of a palm, is heavy in the hand, those gold is not counted, just the gems on this pendant, there can be thirty or forty, although the size is different, but these gems from the color, translucent Cheng dΓΉ, and shape, all of them are the best of the best.
So this pendant, you can guess it with your ass, this is definitely not something that ordinary people can have, Jin Muchen deduced that this should also be a treasure that can only be owned by a pharaoh.
Jesse broke the glass cover, put the pendant into his bag, and then walked to several other display cases without Jin Muchen's cooperation, smashed the glass one by one, and took out all the ancient Egyptian jewelry inside and installed it.
The other ancient Egyptian antique jewelry, in terms of shape and preciousness, was not necessarily much lower than the three she had taken before.
But when it comes to those antique jewelry, Jesse's attitude is much more simple and rude, not at all as careful as he is with these three pieces of jewelry.
Jin Muchen could obviously detect that the three pieces of jewelry at the beginning should have some stories with Jesse, but now is not a good time to tell a story.
Jesse scavenged about the same, and then the two of them didn't stay anymore, although they knew that there were mountains of gold and silver behind them, but they also carried the attraction of those things and went out of the museum.
A few hours later, when the employees here come to work here, they will naturally find the security guards in the security room, but by that time, they have already run out of the clouds.
The hotel had already checked out, and the two drove a fake police car and went straight out of the city, because of yesterday's terrorist attack, the Boston police can be said to be in the news.
Checkpoints have been set up at many key exits from the city, but when Jin Muchen and Jesse swaggered to these checkpoints in fake police cars, most of the police officers in charge of the inspection waved their hands and let them pass.
Coming out of Boston, the two of them ran wildly, not daring to make too many stops in Massachusetts, and a terrorist attack broke out yesterday, and if the news of the theft of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston came out today, then Massachusetts would become a big powder keg.
The two of them planned to rush to New Haven before dawn, where to dispose of the police car, the police uniform, the masks on the head and face, and the silicone gloves on their hands, and then try to rush to Hartford, Connecticut, during the day, where they would renovate for a day, and then return to New York.
They weren't going to New Haven, but they were going to the beach behind Providence, part of the New Haven precinct, where there was a deserted seaside road with cliffs on one side and the bottomless Atlantic Ocean on the other.
Where to throw the car into the sea, it is very appropriate, as for the masks on the body, just find a place to burn them, anyway, the slightest evidence cannot be left to those police.
This is a plan they have made a long time ago, and of course, the reason why they chose this beach in New Haven to deal with such a thing is mainly because it is a well-known place in North America to deal with criminal evidence. (To be continued......)
