Chapter 052: The Detective's Anti-Theft Lecture

By the time the police re-encircled the main exhibition hall with flashing warning lights, the white-haired killer in ninja outfit had fled.

The scene was full of traces of Pokémon's use of slashing skills, and the leader dismantled the booth carefully set up by Detective Hugo and Deputy Curator Mu Li into pieces, but left without taking anything with him.

The police were confused as they looked at the slashed iron filings and the wreckage of some kind of electronic device that resembled a video facility. I don't know if tonight's mission succeeded or failed.

"Hugo, is the base of this display case the safe that you and Mu Li prepared to store the Founding Stone? Did the gangster retreat because he got the treasure? ”

The Aloe Curator followed the detective through the walls of people to the front of the wreckage.

"How is it possible, the real founding stone is still in this museum." The detective looks around with open arms and begins to give a detective speech in the middle of the night.

"Where the hell is that stone?" Cooperatively, it was the detective's assistant Bilan, who asked, "We'll have to let the captives lead the way to recover the artifacts later, now is not the time to waste time." ”

"Don't worry about this." Out of nowhere, Junsha of Qibao City squeezed through his colleagues and beckoned to the detective, "Fortunately, the demonstrators outside have dispersed, and the police have already drawn up their strength to recover the cultural relics." I'm more curious about where Hugo hid the founding stone than what happened outside? ”

"There are three main ways to hide an object perfectly."

Hugo was not surprised by the developments in front of him, waving his fingers as if he were about to start summing up his arguments.

"One is to win by surprise, the most dangerous place is the safest place, to hide things in the place where others are most likely to think of it, so that they can easily think that they have searched that place and miss the check; Another way to use this tactic is to generously give him what the other person wants to hide, and then do everything possible to imply that it is a fake, and then ask the enemy to obediently return the treasure. ”

"Are you saying that the one that was stolen in the morning is the real thing about the Founding Stone?" Junsha's eyes widened for unknown reasons.

"Of course not, plasma clusters aren't that easy to deceive." Hugo shook his head regretfully, then raised a second finger—

"The second best way to hide things is to hide them in the forest. The best place to hide a branch is a forest, the best place to hide a dagger is a battlefield, and the best place to hide a murder is a series of serial murders. ”

"I'll remember you the next time there's a serial murder." Seeing that Hugo would not tell the truth immediately, Miss Police Officer only responded weakly this time.

"From this point of view, the best way to hide the founding stone is to put it in a pile of identical stones, and then randomly shuffle the location so that no one knows which one is the real stone."

Aloe gestured her arms and explained to Junsha, "The Shippo Museum would never do that. We resolutely resist the creation of fakes, and the words under the previous imitation of the Founding Stone to prevent theft are also marked with text so as not to be confused with the original product. ”

Ignoring the curator's protests, Hugo went on to explain: "In the same way, placing treasures between a pile of treasures is a means of concealment based on a similar logic. Excessive quantities hide the value of individuals, which is the core of the theory of hiding trees in the forest. ”

"But...... The plasma group has stolen all the collections, not to mention the trees, and even the woods have been cut down. ”

It was still Bi Lan who made sharp comments, and she combed Ibu's fluffy tail while combing the detective's speech, judging from the sharp complaints she could immediately make, it should have been very rewarding.

Instead of answering Blu's confusion head-on, the detective continues with his own burglar prevention lecture, knowing that the answers to all questions are in the rest of the narrative.

"The third principle is to take the initiative to attack. When something you want to hide is targeted by a specific person or someone, we should not use a passive defensive attitude to protect what we want to hide, but should take the initiative to find a way to deal with those with bad intentions. ”

Bilan accosted cooperatively: "It's like letting the plasma group throw itself into the net today." ”

"Yes, in fact, my anti-theft design for the Seven Treasures Museum is based on the above three principles, so that the most dangerous things can be avoided in any situation."

"What do you mean by that?" Junsha asked.

"It's past midnight, and yesterday morning, the plasma group has inhumanely looted most of the museum's collections, and they have left without hesitation, believing that they have stolen the founding stone and completely emptied the entire museum. But what they didn't expect was that when designing an anti-theft scheme for the museum, I replaced the most important of them, the dark stone, with a fake. Hugo pointed to himself.

"If I hadn't been able to get to the museum as a detective at the time, this level would have worked as a safety device. Even if the Plasma Regiment took all the artifacts, they would never find the most important goal of their trip—the legendary stone of the Black Dragon, which would awaken the mythical creatures of the United Territories—and it would be a problem for them to do that. ”

"But it's just a myth, isn't it?" The director of the museum, Aloe Vera, frowned dissatisfiedly and said, "You are equivalent to using our entire collection as a shield for the founding stone, and I really can't agree with this approach." ”

"Luckily for you, your husband, Mr. Mu Li, who has studied the history of the founding of the United States, believes that this dark stone is of great importance. Yesterday's day and night attacks from the Plasma Regiment also proved that the founding stone was indeed of unparalleled value to that ambitious religious group. ”

"However, after the success of the fake plan, you find that the plasma group is still entrenched in Qibao City, and the crisis of the museum is still not resolved, so you feel that you will take the initiative according to principle three, release the information that the real thing is in the museum, and let the robbers who covet the dark stone throw themselves into the net and then catch them." Blue summed it up succinctly.

"Exactly!" The detective snapped his fingers crisply.

"By the way, the artifacts were recovered." Junsha accentuated the word "by the way" and winked at the aloe vera.

While Aloe Vera was still angry, Hugo hurriedly stopped these people from sowing discord: "But in fact, this is the only way to recover the loss of the museum to the greatest extent, and if it were replaced by other unprepared museums, whether it is stones or all other collections, it would have been looted by a robbery of that scale." ”

Speaking of which, Hugo's plan was already clear, but Bilan still didn't understand the last part, so she asked the detective directly: "But since you can use the real thing to lure the plasma cluster over, why can you pat your chest to ensure that the stone is not stolen and is still in the museum?" How exactly did you do this? In other words, where did you hide the founding stone? ”

The detective had an expression of "just waiting for you to ask this", and snapped his fingers again: "It is precisely in order to deal with this situation that Deputy Director Mu Li and I have prepared a backhand." ”

With his arms outstretched, Hugo showed everyone only a fragment of the ground in front of him.

Aloe Vera was a little puzzled: "I know that this is the display case in the exhibition room where the fake of the Founding Stone of the Founding of the People's Republic of China is placed, and you promised at that time that visitors will definitely see the legendary Founding Stone with their own eyes in some way." But it's been demolished now, and there's nothing in it. ”

"That's exactly what the so-called surprise is." Hugo smiled incomprehensibly and walked over to the wall that controlled the museum's lighting effects.

In front of the detective, a row of light buttons of various sizes are arranged next to each other, each of which controls the lighting effect at a certain point in the pavilion.

"At first glance, each switch can only control the status of one light." Hugo said as he pressed the button.

The lights in the exhibition hall came on one after another. Some have been destroyed by the plasma cluster, extinguishing in a few flashes in the sound of a short circuit, and some have simply not lit up, but most of the lights are lit up as usual.

"Mr. Mu Li and I designed that when the lighting effect was lit according to the condition of the Stone of Founding Stone exhibition at the time, a mechanism would be triggered......

Hugo pressed the switch of the last light according to his memory, and the main light went out, and the glow of the fire-like side lights set off the magnificent creation mural on the ceiling of the exhibition hall, and the glorious god of creation and the figure of the black, white and gray dragon god complemented each other, even if it was only a copy of the famous painting, it was still shocking, and the light around the zenith mural was specially designed for the exhibition of the Founding Stone exhibition.

"That'...... Is that! The sharp blue of the eyes pointed to the top of the display case where the original founding stone was located, and a vague shadow appeared above the empty area and empty ceiling of the original mural.

"This is the founding stone. Could it be that the real stone is in? The curator, Aloe Vera, looked back at the floor of the display case.

In the midst of the mess, there was a small hole that glowed.

A small hole that is projecting an image upwards.

"It's a pity that the refraction through the curved mirror hidden in the display case will be much clearer." Hugo was a little nitpicky and sighed dissatisfied, but then he picked himself up again and continued to introduce to everyone in a loud voice-

"Dear visitors, please see that the place where the fake of the Founding Stone was originally placed is shrouded in a strange phantom, which is the image projected by the real dark stone through the mirror. If you are lucky enough to see this collection during the day, what you will see will not be a pure fake or an authentic product, but a collection of shadows that are both real and illusory. ”

The police officers and gym trainers stared at the blurry image on the ceiling in a daze, and in the atmosphere, it really looked like that.

The detective's voice continued to echo through the hall: "This is also the great compromise between the safety of the artifacts and the rights of the spectators, the Seven Treasures Museum, the hardness of ideal fantasy and reality, even if Zekrom and Reshiram were born here at the same time, they will be amazed by the ingenuity and ingenuity of this hidden trick." ”

Hugo bowed deeply to the crowd like a magician at the end of the show.
