Chapter 162: A talisman that has aroused heated discussions overseas!
Under the continuous investigation of the British Museum, things finally made new progress, and as soon as he received the news, Harwitt rushed over.
"Curator, this is what we found outside the museum."
The yellow paper came into view, and the handwriting on it was like a ghost's drawing, but no one could read it.
"What is this?"
"The words on it seem to be the words of Great Xia?"
Still Harwitt is well-informed, and he pondered for a moment and said, "This seems to be a Taoist rune paper from Great Xia, and it seems to have been used." ”
It's just that he doesn't know what this rune paper means.
"Curator, we have asked the cleaning staff before, and there was no such rune paper before, so I suspect that this rune paper has something to do with thieves."
How can there be such a coincidence in the world?
The lost artifact happened to be from Great Xia, and outside the scene, there was a mysterious talisman paper from Great Xia, although it was outside the museum, it was hard not to think that there was any connection between it.
A deep doubt appeared in Havit's eyes, "Could it be that the theft has something to do with Great Xia?" ”
"I think it's probably true, hasn't Daxia been negotiating with the curator before, hoping that we can return the cultural relics to them."
"Curator, why don't we go and ask Da Xia over there, first figure out what the meaning of this rune paper is, if it is really related to them, let Da Xia have to give an explanation."
Harwitt shook his head, "It's just a piece of talisman paper, what use can it be, it doesn't mean anything, our top priority is to do a good job of secrecy, and not let the outside world know about the theft." ”
Now there is no clear evidence pointing to the actions of Great Xia, but from these two points, it is inextricably linked to Great Xia.
Or is someone playing tricks?
If it is said that it is to simply frame it for Great Xia, there is no need.
Lawrence and Harwitt couldn't figure out the reason for breaking their heads, so they could only hide the rune paper for the time being.
At this moment, Zhao Jianhua, who made a fuss about the British Museum, had already taken the nearest flight back to Daxia, along with the wine gourd jade pendant.
Although the British Museum suppressed the news of the theft, there is no impermeable wall under the sky, and I don't know who leaked the news.
These days, many people have called the museum, and the phone was about to burst, and countless emails flew like snowflakes, making the curator and others anxious.
"Didn't you say that you should block the news and not let the outside world know, what is going on now?"
Haritt threw the newspaper in his hand in front of Lawrence, his face gloomy and dripping.
"Lawrence, how did you become a security captain, you can't even catch a thief, and you make this matter known to everyone, and the museum's face is about to be lost by you."
I saw the most central page of the newspaper, and the huge black letters came into view, "The theft of the museum", which looked shocking.
"Curator, the curator is not good!"
Another staff member came running over with a hurried look.
Harwitt rubbed his forehead, "What's going on again!" ”
"There are a lot of reporters outside, who want to interview you, the curator, and now there is a commotion outside, which can be said to be a mess."
Now the news can't be suppressed at all, and now what Harwitt can do is try to save the reputation of the museum, and he collected his emotions and came to the door.
In addition to those reporters, there were also many people who did not think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and when they saw Havitt's arrival, there was a moment of commotion in the crowd.
"Director Harwitt, what do you think of the theft of the museum? Is it because of the museum's improper storage? ”
"I heard that the museum has not caught the murderer until now, and there are no clues, didn't you take corresponding security measures when you kept the cultural relics?"
"Is the museum really just a lost artifact? Will there be any cultural relics lost, but you haven't made it public in order to protect your reputation? ”
The reporter's questions became sharper and sharper, and the formulaic smile on Havitt's face slowly collapsed, and he took a deep breath before he spoke:
"The security measures in the museum are very good, so you don't have to worry about this, now there is only one cultural relic lost in the museum, it is just an accident, and we will investigate it."
As for Havitt's official statement, it is clear that the reporter did not buy it.
"But according to what we know, you haven't caught any thieves so far, and there are no clues, and if the thieves come back next time, it will be a great threat to the other artifacts in the museum."
The smile on Havitt's face had disappeared, and Lawrence, who was next to him, saw that the situation was not good, and stepped forward.
"I'm sorry, our curator is a little uncomfortable, we will solve the problems raised by everyone, and I hope you can give us a little time."
Soon the British Museum published an official microblog, which probably means to condemn the thieves who steal cultural relics, and there are also rewards for clues, hoping to mobilize the power of the people to find out the thief.
This incident has set off a lot of waves in country Y, there is a lot of uproar on the Internet, and the people of country Y are angry.
"I never thought the British Museum would be stolen."
"The British Museum is one of the four major museums in the world, is the security system just an ornament, can it still be stolen, and whether the curator is responsible for negligence."
"This matter must be taken seriously, what is lost now is one, how can ten or a hundred pieces be lost in the future?"
"Please make sure Director Harwitt gives us an explanation, and we must catch the thief, otherwise we won't be at ease."
If it is a small museum, it may not attract so many people's attention, after all, it is the world-famous British Museum, not only in China, but even on the Internet is hotly discussing this matter.
Because the lost cultural relics belong to Daxia, this news is so popular on the Internet, and naturally it has also been transmitted back to China, compared with the international condemnation of the thief, domestic netizens have applauded.
"It's a good steal, which strong man did it, I respect him as a good man, no matter what country he is, he will be my good half-brother of Li in the future!"
"The British Museum still has the face to condemn others, how did they get those cultural relics, they don't have a B count in their hearts, and they deserve to be stolen."
"This wave is purely a thief shouting to catch a thief, it's really laughing to death, I'll tell you a bad joke, a robber said that he was patronized by a thief, and tried to mobilize the crowd to let everyone help catch the thief."
"The cycle of heavenly principles, retribution is not happy, they stole and plundered the cultural relics of other countries, and they never thought that there would be such a day."
"This strong man should steal more, only one is too little, it's better to empty the museum, and don't even leave a scum for this group of people."
"Alas, although I know that there is little hope, I still hope that the government can negotiate with country Y and let the cultural relics go home quickly."
On the other side of the ocean, as public opinion continues to ferment, even the government has put a lot of pressure on the British Museum, and the curator Harwitt can be said to be anxious.
"Why are these people staring at this! It's like a swarm of flies. ”
As the museum's security guard and his confidant, Lawrence came up with an idea.
"Now the outside world thinks that our museum is derelict in its responsibility, if we can find a way to divert their attention-"
He changed his words and hinted: "Curator, do you remember the mysterious yellow talisman we found at the scene, maybe we can use this." ”
Harwitt is a smart man, and he quickly understood what he meant, and quickly posted an official Weibo.
It's just that this official Weibo is a little special, in addition to the statement, there is also a picture, and Aite is the official of Daxia.
"The lost artifacts are from Great Xia, and we found a yellow charm at the scene, which is very likely to be a mark left by a thief! Therefore, I hope that the Daxia official can help us to conduct a joint investigation and recover the stolen items as soon as possible."
Although the words were high-sounding, he almost didn't name them, saying that the people from Daxia came to steal things and threw the pot out directly.
When the official person in charge of Great Xia saw this statement, he was almost not fainted by the brazenness of country Y, of course he didn't pay attention to them, after all, this matter has nothing to do with them, it can be said that people are sitting at home, and the pot comes from the sky.
Of course, for the sake of international reputation and public opinion, it can't sit idly by, and the official of Daxia immediately edited a statement and released it, but did not condemn this kind of theft, but turned over and praised it.
As for letting them help, it is absolutely impossible, after all, although this kind of thing cannot be supported openly, it must be secretly happy!
Unless Country Y agrees to return all the cultural relics of Great Xia, Great Xia will consider helping.
But how could the British Museum agree to this request, the two sides naturally broke up unhappily, and they had no tangible evidence in their hands, except for sending a few painless official microblogs, they couldn't help Daxia.
For a time, the voice of the British Museum set off a lot of waves in China.
"When something happens, you can't think of us, and when something happens, you come to us, and when you find the rune paper on the spot, you say that we did it in Daxia, so if you find a bandage, can you still say that the mummy did it."
"The British Museum is crazy, I can think of such excuses."
"Although it is very likely that they are shirking their responsibilities, but this rune paper is really strange, is there any knowledgeable big guy to tell me what this rune is."
"With my ten years of experience in drawing symbols, I can't see what it is, I always feel that the symbols on it are very high and unfathomable."
"Isn't there a Taoist Association here, let them come and have a look."
Many netizens have attached Taoist related websites, but none of them recognize what kind of rune paper it is.
Although the British Museum is suspected of dumping the pot, it was indeed found at the scene of the crime, which still aroused the interest of many people.
Slowly, attention shifted from the British Museum to the rune paper.
Kyoto Archaeological Research Center.
There was a lot of uproar about the theft of the British Museum, and as a heritage conservation and research organization, they naturally paid attention to the news in the industry.
"Professor Song, that group of people in Country Y is really brazen, and they still have the face to let us help help."
"Not really! It's good to steal them all back, it's all my Great Xia artifacts! ”
"But this rune paper is a little familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere."
"Hey, Xiao Zhang, don't you specialize in the content of Taoist culture, you can take a look and recognize what type of rune paper this is."
"This rune paper is a little strange, different from ordinary yellow runes, but it seems to have created a style in a different way."
Several young people were discussing lively, and Professor Song, who was passing by, also listened to a few mouthfuls and couldn't help but look at the pictures on his mobile phone.
"It's a little familiar."
He couldn't help but squint his eyes, not knowing what he thought, and then his face changed slightly, and he picked up his mobile phone to enlarge the picture, and looked at it carefully.
Professor Song pondered for a moment and said, "Do you remember when we were in Qiguang Temple before? ”
Everyone didn't know why, "Good and decent, Professor Song, why did you mention Qiguang Temple." ”
Professor Song pointed to the picture of the rune paper on his mobile phone, and said word by word: "Don't you think this rune paper is exactly the same as the one I saw in the temple before?" ”
Hearing what Professor Song said, everyone was stunned, and then found out that it was true.
Although the content of the rune paper is different, judging from the handwriting on it, it is the same, and it is obvious that it was written by the same person.
In terms of cultural relics identification, the most important thing they pay attention to is the details, and the slightest clue can be found.
So whether the two runes are the same or not, from the same source, can't escape their eyes.
And at that time in Qiguang Temple, this matter was in an uproar, the gangsters kidnapped the hostages, and the so-called "rune paper apparition" appeared later, and the heavenly thunder punished the gangsters, so they were particularly impressed by this.
"It's strange, didn't Qiguang Temple say that this rune paper was painted by a master, why is it now floating across the ocean and appearing in the British Museum, and even related to the disappearance of cultural relics?"
"Could it be a coincidence, it's just similar, after all, we haven't seen it with our own eyes, maybe someone knows about the original Qiguang Temple, and maybe they want to imitate it."
"I can't rule out the possibility of someone imitating it, but it's too similar, and it's too much of a coincidence."
"Do you think this rune paper will have some kind of magical effect? Someone relied on the power of rune paper to successfully steal the cultural relics! ”
Some people have a big brain, but they are invisibly close to the truth.
The people in the research center talked a lot about this, but it was only discussed in private, after all, it was difficult for anyone to believe it.
Not only them, but also the masses who had previously experienced the "rune paper apparition" incident in Qiguang Temple also noticed.
The pictures released by the British Museum were similar to the runic paper they had seen at the beginning, and they also set off a lot of ripples in their hearts.
The experience of Qiguang Temple can be said to be unforgettable, and it will never be forgotten.
Many people have seen with their own eyes, the thunder and lightning seemed to have eyes, and it struck the gangster's body, but the two hostages were safe, and many people believed in the statement that the rune paper appeared to the spirit.
The original rune paper can summon thunder and lightning and punish the gangsters, so will this rune paper in the British Museum have any magical effect?
