Chapter 388: First Trouble
It's my first time in Europe, and the buildings on both sides of the street are really different. It www.biquge.info's a pity that I'm not Xu Zhimo, besides, I studied business administration in college, and I don't have a good relationship with majors such as literature and architecture. Born with no interest in literature and art. What kind of impressionist paintings, I think it's, I can't understand what it is. Not only me, but I don't think many, many people can't understand what it is.
In addition, where is my mood completely on the museum, how can I have the heart to see the scenery on both sides of the street? There are really a lot of Russian beauties with blonde hair and blue eyes, long legs and thin waists, but they are not in the mood to think about it at all. I was thinking about where the half of the picture was. Compared with that half of the picture, the Hermitage is simply big and has not changed, and those collections, if you look at them one by one, each one for 10 seconds, it will take 3 years to see them.
I have a headache when I think about so many questions. According to Soaring, if it really doesn't work, let's get a small yin and yang two qi bomb, and come up with a tactic to attract the attention of others, and we will steal it. This is purely a way to harm others and not to oneself. Anyway, we'll have to check out this museum first.
When we arrived, it was already past ten o'clock, and we hurried to the ticket office at the door and were told that this was the team entrance. The entrance to the FIT is inside the Hermitage. Walking through the golden gate, a lake-green palace comes into view. In other European countries, it is rare to see such a brightly colored royal palace. The Royal Palace in Budapest has earthy yellow walls with a green roof. The Grand Palais in Barcelona is earthy yellow, the Papal Palace in Provence is gray-white, and the Royal Palace in Venice is a pale gray to my surprise, and the queue at the door is not too long, don't they know that today is a free day? Or am I mistaken? In the homework, it was said that every day as soon as the door opened, there would be a large queue for one and a half hours. As a result, the door opened at half past 10 o'clock, and a large number of children were let in first. After about 5 minutes, we entered the long-awaited Winter Palace.
The Hermitage is a three-story building about 230 meters long, 140 meters wide and 22 meters high, in the form of a closed rectangle, covering an area of 90,000 square meters and a construction area of more than 46,000 square meters. Originally, the Hermitage had a total of 1,050 rooms, 117 staircases, 1,886 doors, 1,945 windows, and cornices with a total length of almost 2 kilometers. The four sides of the Hermitage are distinctive, but the interior design and decoration style are strictly unified. The palace is richly decorated, many halls are decorated with Russian gemstones - malachite, jasper, agate products, it is said that the peacock hall has 2 tons of malachite, and the parquet floor is made of 9 kinds of precious wood.
Legend has it that Peter the Great demanded a very simple life, and after living in a log cabin for 6 years, Peter designed a new residence for himself, a very ambiguous palace - the Winter Palace. Catherine II, the seventh successor of Peter the Great, was a keen luxurist, and it took eight years (1754-1762) to rebuild the Baroque palace as we see it today. It is very different from the palace of Peter's time. The Hermitage, which is next to the Neva River, is a three-storey building, the size of which is no less than that of the Kremlin in Moscow. Its exterior walls and roof are light green and white, which does not stand out among the surrounding buildings that are predominantly yellow. This German woman not only ruled the Great Russian nation of 20 million people into obedience, but also desperately expanded the territory of Russia, even more than Peter the Great. As Max said; "By the time of Catherine's death, the Russian possessions had exceeded all that the most unscrupulous national chauvinism could demand." She is even more greedy when it comes to collecting cultural relics. She herself said: "I am not a gentleman, but a glutton". During her reign (1763-1796) she acquired more than 4,000 paintings, more than 10,000 drawings and many curiosities. For the first time, the Hermitage's museum now has an enviable collection of more than 3 million art treasures. Catherine the Great knew how to enjoy it, and she invited Western architects to build another luxurious imperial palace for herself, the Catherine Palace, on the outskirts of St. Petersburg, in the current town of Zhichikin.
According to the map given at the entrance, all the treasures of the town hall are marked. Almost all of the treasures, works of art and luxuriously decorated showrooms are located on the second floor. On the first floor, there are looted collections from ancient Rome, Egypt, Greece and China. The third floor is full of paintings, including works by many masters such as Matisse, Renoir, Monet, and Giorgione, which are brightly lit. The larger works of Rembrandt and Rubens are still on the second floor, and although the light is dim, the exhibition hall is larger.
Don't ask me how I know about these foreign histories, because it's all written on it, and even if I can't read it, there's a translator on the side, isn't it? In short, it can be summed up in one sentence, that is, it is resplendent and magnificent. The Department of Western European Art, the Department of Ancient Greek Art, the Department of Russian Cultural History, the Department of Ancient Coins, the Armory Department, the Scientific Library, the Department of Scientific and Technical Appraisal, and the Department of Restoration of Clocks and Musical Instruments have all been taken a look at it, and of course, there are about 1,000 exhibition halls, and only 350 are open to the public.
This place has a lot of museums, libraries and opera houses. Kutuzov Embankment, on the south bank of the Neva River, this Hermitage Museum, is also on the south side of this road. Not far away is the Hermitage Bridge, and opposite is the Library of the Academy of Sciences. The place where we live is relatively far from here, which is deliberately arranged to avoid people's eyes.
A little further south of the museum, on Nevsky Prospect, one of St. Petersburg's main thoroughfares, we stayed at the October Hotel, where Ligovsky Prospect and Nevsky Prospect meet. When we got back to the hotel in the evening, I made a list of things we might need this time.
I handed it over to Yu Mingjie to handle it, after all, we are not familiar with each other here, and it is not easy to do things. Yu Mingjie looked at the things on the list, and didn't say anything, just said that he would purchase all the goods for me tomorrow afternoon. In fact, they are all gadgets, which are relatively easy to find, and if you go to Chinatown, you will definitely be able to buy them.
After Yu Mingjie left, Ao Xiang couldn't help but say, "That place doesn't have what we're looking for, it's so big?" Looking for it from place to place, I don't know if it's the Year of the Monkey. I sighed and said, "Don't say it, what you say is nonsense, we all know it, but now we can't help it, right?" It's all here, what else? Think long way. Dorjee asked tentatively: "Do you want to let Soar go to explore the depth of the water tonight?" ”
I shook my head and said: "There is no need, it is estimated that you have to startle the snake, why bother, just listen to me, you must not be reckless, we only have six days to go, we must complete the task within six days, with the tour group leaving St. Petersburg, during this period, there must be no mistakes." Both Ao Xiang and Dorjee nodded, and Dorjee asked, "So what are we doing tonight?" I said impatiently: "Do whatever you want, as long as you don't make a mess for me, I'll have a good rest." ”
I can't sleep in the middle of the night, so I want to go down and walk around, after all, it is a foreign country, there must be some strange things, and I can't just stay in the hotel. Language barrier, see how it should always be? I simply got dressed and took the elevator downstairs. When I was in the elevator, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable and awkward, did I feel uncomfortable in a confined space?
Fortunately, the time is relatively short, and I don't care, when I got to the first floor, I just got out of the elevator, and I still felt a little uncomfortable, as if I felt like I had arrived at the murderous house. So I opened my eyes and looked back, this glance was not tight, the elevator door was slowly closing, and there was a woman standing in it, blonde hair and black eyes, and her skin was very white, as if it had been bleached in water.
Before I could see what it looked like, the elevator doors closed. I was shocked in my heart, and thought: "Grandma, why are there drowned ghosts everywhere, it seems that this drowned ghost is a common pattern all over the world, what do you want to do with that foreign girl just now?" "Thinking of this, my anger is a little up. On this trip, the task was already a little difficult to do, but I didn't expect to encounter this incident? Could it be that this foreign lady wants to harm me? I don't want to do the math myself first.
I didn't go outside the hotel again, but pressed the elevator again, but I didn't expect the elevator door to open again, and the foreign ghost girl was still standing, with no expression at all like a sculpture. I strode in, and this time, I could see her face clearly.
She must be a big beauty when she was alive, she has to have a figure and a figure, she has to be tall, and she has to have a good face, but she is dead, how can she be here? Looking at her now, she should be drowned, yes, but shouldn't she appear in the drowned place? Did he drown in this elevator? It's not like it, is it waiting in this elevator to kill your enemy? I'm a little unsure.
When I came in again, she was still looking blankly ahead, and I pulled out a soul charm in my hand and said to her, "Hey, how did you die?" "I don't know if I can understand it, I think eighty percent of them don't understand, this Russian chick definitely can't understand Chinese." She didn't react at all, and when she got close, the soul calming talisman in my hand hit it.
There was no suspense, she didn't even hide before she went up. She grimaced for a moment, then left where she was standing and ran up. was marked by this soul talisman, and where do you want to run? The fluctuation of the soul is like a villain jumping out of the noodle jar, leaving traces along the way. I followed the trail and went up to the roof of the hotel, and when I looked up, I saw a large jug of water. This is obviously the hotel's water storage jar, could it be the corpse of this chick......
I feel that this matter is no longer within the scope of my own handling, after all, I am in St. Petersburg, and if I am involved in this criminal case, it will definitely not end well, even if it has nothing to do with me, I have to go through an investigation, right? In addition, I came to St. Petersburg this time to steal things and do illegal things, so I still can't get involved in this matter.
That's right, the body of the chick should be in this tank of water, and it must have been killed, it would definitely not be a suicide, if it was suicide, her soul would not have appeared in any elevator. I sighed softly and turned to leave, when I suddenly felt as if she was looking at me behind me, and when I looked back, I saw nothing. I sneered and said, "I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do now, you'd better hurry up and find your God, don't be here, next time I see you, don't blame me for being unkind." ”
After all, in a place where living people stay, this kind of thing often haunts, which is not a good thing, and it may hurt people at some point. If you are comfortable, of course you don't mind doing this kind of good deed that accumulates virtue and does good. After saying that, he turned around and left. I didn't take this matter to heart, after all, not every case of unjust death in the world has been solved, and not every murderer has been caught.
Being so troubled by this ghost chick, the mood to go out for a walk is gone, so I returned to my room, turned on the faucet and washed my hands, just put my hand under the faucet, my heart was tight, and I patted my head and thought: "Why are I so stupid*, the corpse is still in the jug, and I don't know how long it has been dead, and when I turn on the water in the faucet, it may be the water of the corpse on it." ”
I don't think this is so disgusting, after all, I've seen it, and I've touched it many times more than this disgusting, but this corpse has been used for a long time, and it's easy to have problems - corpse transformation. I turned around and ran to the rooftop again, where I walked to the side of several large jars of water, put my ear to the jar and began to listen to the movement inside.
The first one didn't, the second didn't, and when I heard the third, there was a slight thumping sound inside. I secretly screamed terrible, it seems that this corpse has been in this jar for at least a week, and it has been transformed, and it has begun to knock on this jar to get ready to come out.
I pursed my lips and thought, "It's really a wave of unevenness, wave after wave, what great good deeds did I do in my last life, and I always have to avenge these lonely souls and wild ghosts in this life?" He sighed again, returned to his room downstairs, picked up the phone and called Yu Mingjie, and asked him: "Help me check one thing, that is, in this October hotel, or St. Petersburg, the missing person this month, female, about twenty, blonde, black eyes, high nose, on the left eyebrow, there is a black mole." ”
This is called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and we must first figure out how this foreign chick disappeared or what is the origin, so that we can prescribe the right medicine. In fact, most of the time in our industry we are also seeing doctors, but the objects of seeing doctors are a little different.
