"Do you know what you're doing?"

President Morishima had a gloomy face.

"President Morishima, if you have something to say, you can wait for someone from the Metropolitan Police Department to come."

"Security, get them out."

"There are so many people watching here, I think there is no shortage of celebrities in the circle, we were entrusted by the insurance company to negotiate with you, you kicked us out like this, does it mean that you have a weak heart?"

"It's because of your rudeness and lack of etiquette."

"Then I'm sorry for my rudeness, President Morishima, I found out that your museum is not very safe, and I am eager to warn you......"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Someone declared that they were going to steal this place, didn't they?"

President Morishima did not change on the surface, but his neck shook slightly, swallowing his saliva, obviously being said to be in his heart.

At this moment, sirens sounded outside the museum.

It's really fast, because there is a sentry box nearby......

"President Morishima, for the safety of the museum, I think I should ask the police department to take a look."

Sue pointed at the wall with a small shovel.

President Morishima's face was gloomy and dripping.

Most of the people present didn't understand what was going on now, probably only Su Qi, who vaguely guessed what was going on, and President Morishima, who had concealed it, knew what they were talking about.

The door to the museum was pushed open, and a police officer walked in.

"What's going on here, who reported it."

Su Qi raised his hand.

"The police, the Morishima Museum of Art has been threatened, and there could be an art theft here."

When President Morishima heard Su Qi's words, his forehead sweated unconsciously, and Su Qi's guess hit the nail on the head.

"Theft? Coming soon? How can we call the police a scam......"

"Police, you should come and see here."

Su Qi pointed to the wall, where he had scraped off a layer of wall skin just now.

The police department stepped forward to take a look.

"What is this?"

"On this wall, there is a notice of theft left by the thief, but it is covered up with white paint."

"What? Theft notice? ”

The police department was stunned for a moment, and then looked carefully, and there were indeed words that were covered.

"I suggest you shovel off the paint and take a look."

"Who's in charge here?"

The police asked.

Faced with this kind of scene, President Morishima had to stand up.

"I'm the president here, Masayuki Morishima."

"Mr. Morishima, we need to remove the white paint from this wall, and we need to confirm with you if you agree."

"This involves the honor of President Morishima, and I don't think President Morishima will disagree unless ...... You are connected to a theft ring. ”

Su Qi took another step.

President Morishima gritted his teeth and nodded, even if he didn't nod, he couldn't stop the police department, after all, the wall had been shoveled open, revealing that there was something hidden inside, and it was seen by so many people, this circle can't be passed, otherwise there will be room for detours.

Morishima nodded, and the police department immediately found someone to shovel the white paint on the wall, and saw the words on the wall that were hidden.

……

We're about to take Dance of the Witches from here, and it deserves a better home – Moby Dick

……

"Oh! Oh, my God! It's Moby Dick! That international art theft organization?! ”

There are people in the circle all around, and some people know what beluga meanta means.

A notorious international theft organization that specializes in precious works of art.

Su Qi took a look, and sure enough.

……

Art theft is a special kind of theft because it has the problem of selling stolen goods.

Ordinary theft, money, jewelry, these are all marketable things, and the amount of money is how much is the money.

But artwork is different.

If the Mona Lisa hangs in the Louvre, you claim that you stole it, but the Louvre does not admit it.

Then even if you can take out a Mona Lisa in your hand, it is a fake.

This is the peculiarity of the value of a work of art.

Therefore, the general art theft is rarely stolen randomly, but is divided into several situations.

One is that the buyer wants the painting to be genuine, and the hire person specifically designates which painting to steal, and the price has been said and the buyer has been determined.

The second is to steal and then find a buyer to sell the stolen goods, or for the sake of fame, which is more troublesome.

You have to let the world know that you stole something before it makes sense, and the media has to expose it.

That's why there are similar crime notices, or high-profile things left behind after committing crimes.

Identify the organization, identify yourself.

I did it, and the media should report it and tell the world that they lost the painting and that it is now in my possession! Buyers come and buy!

Of course, there are so many fake liars in this, and there are countless people who eat black.

Counterfeiting in the art world is not unfounded.

Even if today's advanced technology has been able to eliminate ninety percent of fakes, no one can guarantee that 100% of the works displayed in art museums must be genuine and not fakes.

As long as the creation is made by people and the evaluation is made by people, there can be no 100% fraud-free existence.

……

"There is still such a thing as a thief committing a crime?"

Ueno-senpai looked stunned.

"If you have a collector friend who subscribes to the Guardian every issue, you will find that in the last six months, there is an active international art theft organization that has made a name for itself and looked for some underground buyers through this kind of retro movie scene in the middle of the second class."

Su Qi smiled, that's right, he had seen the news of this beluga whale in the newspaper that Mr. Andersen read when he was drinking tea in the club.

"Witch's Dance...... Isn't this the one that was stolen at auction last week? ”

"It's already stolen, why do you want to send a notice of theft......"

"That's not right! This was a teaser that was given before it was stolen! ”

The police department looked at the blurry but legible text on the wall, and turned to look at President Morishima.

"Mr. Morishima, could you please explain what this crime trailer is all about and why you are covering it up."

President Morishima sweats on his forehead.

"We thought it was a prank......"

Su Qi interjected directly.

"And then you choose not to call the police, cover it up, and then put a huge amount of insurance on the painting, and then send it to the auction for someone to steal, and then cheat the insurance money?"

"You're slandering! That painting is worth more than insurance! ”

Su Qi smiled.

"What if the painting is fake? The real painting is still in your hands, and you just used a fake painting for Moby Dick to steal it, and pretended that the real painting was lost. ”

President Morishima stared at Su Qi with a gloomy face.

"There is no evidence, you are slandering me."

The police department looked at the scene and stopped them.

"Mr. Morishima, whether it is slanderous or not, you have concealed the notice of the crime to take out a huge amount of insurance, and you have been suspected of fraud, and you need to cooperate with us to go back to the police station to investigate."

"You! ……”

"Please cooperate."

"I'm going to contact my lawyer."

President Morishima completely lost his previous calm literary and artistic demeanor, and he was a little embarrassed, and was temporarily taken away by the Metropolitan Police Department.

Su Qi and the others made some notes, and they did not have to ask them to go to the police station.

……

"Are we too high-profile?"

Ueno-senpai asked.

Su Qi shook his head.

"No way, we don't know when he's going to destroy the evidence on the wall, so we have to use this method."

"But that's not enough evidence to be a key piece of evidence, it's just a clue to the reasoning."

"So we have to take advantage of the time when he is haunted by the Metropolitan Police Department to find key evidence."

"What evidence?"

Su Qi took out the address note that Mr. Andersen had written to him before.

"Find someone who helped him fake."
