Chapter 20: The police come to the door
A Chinese student studying in the UK found three sketches of Picasso at a flea market, and the news spread like a shockwave after the explosion of a mushroom bomb throughout Greater London and even half of Europe.
Professor Wilson, a veteran professor at Royal Holloway, and an expert in Picasso's work, naturally had a lot of weight in the news that came out of his mouth. Not to mention that there are three other experts of similar status to Professor Wilson who have jointly proved that those three paintings are indeed Picasso's original works.
Of the three experts that Professor Wilson has brought in, two are senior experts from the British Museum, and one is from the Picasso Museum in Barcelona, Spain, and this expert is the deputy director of the Picasso Museum......
Together with Professor Wilson, the results of the identification issued by these four people are enough to prove that these three paintings are Picasso's authentic works.
With Yang Jing's permission, Professor Wilson also took photos of the three paintings and uploaded them to the Internet. Now that we have decided to sell these three paintings, there must be news about these three paintings, otherwise how can we attract potential buyers to bid?
This is Picasso's real work, although it is only the most worthless sketch, but it is also Picasso's painting, if it does not attract a lot of rich people to bid for the painting, how can this price be raised?
Sure enough, when Professor Wilson uploaded the photographs of the three paintings online, there was a sensation throughout London and even half of Europe.
The two experts from the British Museum wanted to buy the three paintings directly, but Yang Jing did not agree.
Just kidding, this is Picasso's real work, and it's a painting that has never been recorded before, and you want to take it for 300,000 pounds, you really think you're a fool!
If it makes sense that the two experts from the British Museum wanted to buy the three paintings at a low price, the deputy director of the Picasso Museum in Barcelona was simply whimsical.
"Yang, these three paintings are the brainchild of Mr. Picasso, and I think that Mr. Picasso would like to see his paintings appreciated by more people in heaven, so I sincerely beg you to donate these three drawings to our Picasso Museum, so that more people can enjoy Mr. Picasso's works. ”
In the face of this almost shameless request, Yang Jing and the fat man were almost!
Why don't you donate the money in your pocket to us!
Why do you want to donate the paintings that Lao Tzu has worked so hard to find to your museum? Is it because your museum has the word "Picasso" hanging on it?
Well, you'd better stay where it's cool, buddy can't afford to serve you?
And not only these three, but in the following days, people from the Louvre Museum in Paris, the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain, and several other famous museums in Europe came to ask Yang Jing to donate these three paintings for free.
Even the people at Madame Tussauds London made such a request.
Well, whether it is the Louvre or the Prado Museum, it is understandable to make such a request, after all, it is a serious museum, in order to let more tourists see the real Picasso, although it is a bit excessive to make such a request, but it can be justified.
But what do you mean by the people from Madame Tussauds making such a request? You are just engaged in wax figures, when did you change your career to calligraphy and painting?
Shameless!
It's hard to imagine how long the brain circuits of these Europeans are!
Why don't you donate those treasures in your collection for free? If you dare to donate, buddies will dare to donate these three paintings too!
Your sister, the two brothers are more like birds! If you don't donate, why should Lao Tzu donate?
In order to avoid more such situations, Yang Jing said to these people very certainly, I'm sorry, buddy is in dire need of money now, so these three paintings will not be donated to the museum, so you all die of this heart......
Those who were in the museum were blocked with such words, but things did not calm down because of this.
Because the people in the museum here had just calmed down, a few people over there who caught Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang off guard came to the door.
Yang Jing had just gotten up early in the morning and was brushing his teeth when there was a knock on the door.
"May I ask you Albert Yang, an international student from China?" As soon as Yang Jing opened the door, there were three people in London police uniforms standing outside the door.
Yang Jing just hesitated for a moment and said directly: "That's right, I am Albert Yang, a native of Huaxia." Is there anything you can do?"
"Hello, Mr. Yang, we are officers from the Egham Township Police Department, and I am Sheriff Holmes. We received a report that you have three sketches of Picasso here, and the person who reported them said that you illegally obtained them from his house, so we need to take you to the police station to inquire about them. Oh, by the way, the informant claims to be Mr. Bob John, the butler of the Fishgard Vardy family, and I think you know him, right?"
As soon as Yang Jing heard this, he was full of excitement.
He looked at the three big-shouldered policemen in front of him, thought about it for a while, and then squinted his eyes slightly and asked, "Mr. Officer, I do know Mr. John, but I don't understand why he reported such a case, because I didn't illegally obtain any Picasso paintings from him." Yes, I have three sketches of Picasso in my possession, but they didn't come from Mr. John, I ......"
Sergeant Holmes interrupted Yang Jing with a wave of his hand, "Mr. Yang, it's useless for you to explain these things to me here, I hope you can follow me to the police station, and you will explain these things after we sit together." ”
Sergeant Holmes shrugged his shoulders and said, "You know, we police officers need procedures to handle cases, so please respect our procedures." Let's go, Mr. Yang. ”
Yang Jing looked at the fat man who ran out when he heard the voice, and found that this guy was still wearing only a pair of big underwear, so he said helplessly: "Can you wait for me for a while? Let me change my clothes, okay?"
"No problem, but please hurry up and change your clothes, we're all very busy at work. ”
Yang Jing didn't even close the door, he couldn't close it even if he wanted to, and the police wouldn't let you close the door to cut off their sight.
Guo Xiaoxiang asked nervously, "What's going on?"
Yang Jing shook his head and said: "I don't know what's going on, anyway, the police from Egham came to the door, and the people named those three paintings, it is estimated that the Vardy family knows that we have three Picasso paintings in our hands, and then this is here to find fault." ”
"I'm rough! How do they know we have a Picasso painting in our hands?"
"Hehe, do you need to say that? Of course, people have seen the news on the Internet. I said, fatty, don't ask about those useless people, now that the Vardy family has come to the door, we have to deal with it well. Well, I'll go to the police station with the police, and you can get me a lawyer first, because without a lawyer, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to keep those three paintings! By the way, don't say anything when the lawyer comes, just say that I bought those three paintings at the Greenwich handicraft market for three hundred pounds! You must bite this matter to death, and you can just excuse the rest and don't know! This matter can only be known to the two of us, and the third person must not know, do you understand?"
The fat man nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, Lao Yang, this matter will be handed over to me!"
