While the curator was communicating with the insurance company personnel, surveillance video captured the deputy curator operating alone on the countertop acting abnormally. The deputy curator is 1.85 meters tall, weighs 98 kilograms, and has a huge body. His body blocks several places.

There were cameras, but there were still cameras that captured part of his hand movements. Judging from the movements, he rolled up the oil painting with his fingers and stuffed it into the left sleeve of his coat. He took out an oil painting from his right sleeve and laid it on the ground.

Liang Xi and others watched the process of shooting with three cameras, but did not see the oil painting being replaced. The camera only captured the edges of the left and right hands, and the other parts were blocked by the huge body of the male deputy curator.

Liang Xidao: "If it was him who took the oil painting, then he was either prepared to work hard and take action as soon as possible before the fake was discovered, so that the police could not find evidence of his crime. Or he was confident that he would hide the oil painting until the situation calmed down."

Poppy asked: "Is this action replacing the oil painting?"

Liang Xi and Chris looked at it twice more and shook their heads together: "I don't know." You can explain that his action is to smooth the oil painting with both hands, or you can explain that his action is to curl the oil painting canvas. If your left wrist is itchy, use your right hand to scratch it.

A few times. My right hand felt itchy, so I reached into my sleeve with my left hand and scratched it a few times.

Liang Xidao: "If he is a thief, he must have practiced and practiced specifically for the environment. If the deputy director is a thief, there is a biggest problem that cannot be explained. You..."

When the test question came, Poppy and Chris immediately answered the challenge. Poppy, who had used his brain in the case of the Silk Scarf Killer, answered: "How did the deputy director know that the director would leave while checking Junku with him?"

Liang Xi: "Eight points."

Chris added: "The three oil paintings such as Junku are of high value, and the curator and deputy curator have been personally responsible for them before they were put into storage, which means that they will be responsible for them together on the first day of exhibition. If the mole is the deputy curator, then

It shows that the deputy director’s package swap was premeditated, and he must ensure that the director will leave the console at a specific time.”

Liang Xian gave a thumbs up and said: "That's right. Has the curator ever been exposed to oil paintings alone?"

Poppy thought for a while: "The curator personally went to the airport to pick him up. At the airport, he checked the integrity of the three Bifenda oil paintings that were shipped together by air. After confirming that there were no bumps, he asked the security personnel to put them into the safe and escort them to the museum. To the museum.

Afterwards, several experts dismantled the frame and identified it as a genuine painting. The curator's pick-up at the airport was his only opportunity to come into contact with oil paintings alone."

Liang Xidao: "Several experts came to the museum for re-identification, indicating that the curator could not have switched the package. No one touched Junku ever since, and Junku has been kept in the vault. Until the first day of the exhibition, the curator and

The deputy director touched Junku. Then yesterday, on the third day of the exhibition, the director and deputy director touched Junku again, inspected it together, and sent the oil painting to the exhibition hall for hanging. Then the problem came again."

Chris responded quickly. As a person who is good at finding faults, he discovered the problem: "Before closing the museum on the third day, the curator discovered with the naked eye that the hanging Junku was a fake. This shows that the curator is very professional. But on the morning of the third day, the curator

I checked Junku with the deputy director, but didn’t find it to be a fake. And we ruled out that it was stolen during the exhibition on the third day, so this doesn’t make sense.”

Liang Xidao: "The video on the morning of the third day."

On the morning of the third day, the deputy director took out Junku from the explosion-proof glass cabinet and placed it on the stage. Because the picture frame had been disassembled and assembled on the first day, they did not disassemble and assemble the picture frame today, but only checked Junku's condition. The curator started from

I took out my reading glasses from my pocket and just put them on when I heard a sound from an operating table five meters away. It was another Bifinci oil painting falling to the ground. The operator was a thirty-year-old female staff member.

It could be seen that the curator was very angry, but his first reaction was to quickly go over and pick up the oil painting frame that fell to the ground. As a sixty-five-year-old man, his speed was more amazing than everyone thought, which reflected the curator's reaction.

The mood at that time. The curator and the staff dismantled the frame together, checked the condition of the canvas, and replaced a frame. At this time, the deputy curator had already checked Junku and put Junku on a trolley specially used to transport oil paintings.

superior.

Bobby quickly answered: "On the third day, the curator did not participate in checking Junku. He was attracted by the staff's mistakes. If the deputy director stole something, then the staff member must be an accomplice of the deputy director. On the first day, this staff member

She was already preparing to cover the deputy director, but it happened that the director left due to something, so she did not execute the plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain."

Liang Xi watched the video and asked: "What is the name of the staff member?"

Bobby called to ask: "Coote, a Londoner, an international student from the Italian art department, applied for a job in the museum two years ago. The detailed information will be sent to us later. Liang Xi, should we pay more attention to the deputy director, oil painting?"

It's probably still in the hands of the deputy curator."

Liang Xi replied: "The deputy director is being watched by the insurance company. Just stop him from delivering the goods. Kurt, Kurt, he is good-looking and has a good figure. There has been no progress in the case at the end of the day. Let's find a reason to chat with the beauty.

It’s also nice to chat.”

Chris smiled and said nothing, picked up the coffee and took a leisurely sip: I'm sorry, you are not qualified to chat with beautiful women.

…

"What?" Liang Xi asked in surprise: "Are the deputy curator and Kurt a bitter enemy? Did they deliberately fall out in order to steal the oil painting?"

The head bodyguard replied: "No, I asked someone from the museum to ask. The deputy director is in his forties. He was accused of harassment by Coulter a month ago. The details are quite bad. The police and the labor union were involved in the investigation, and the deputy director came up with a

A piece of audio recording evidence stated that Kurt seduced him, and after he left, the two of them kissed me for a while in a small room. Kurt took off his clothes, tore his socks, rushed out of the room, and claimed that the deputy director bullied her."

Chief of Bodyguard: "I found someone to learn more about the specific situation. Both the deputy director and the director have part-time jobs. The director was a professor at a local university in his early years. After becoming the director, he is still a visiting professor at the local university. He is very active in European academic circles.

Very famous. The deputy director and Cote go to the same alma mater in Italy, and the deputy director is a visiting professor at his alma mater. He goes to his alma mater every two months to give lectures, and that’s how he got to know Cote.”

The head bodyguard said: "It was the deputy director who recommended Kurt to work in the museum, specializing in the daily storage and repair of oil paintings. Since Kurt has the working conditions and the museum is short of people, the director agreed."

The two had a good relationship at first, but because the deputy director had a wife, they never had a public relationship. This year, a graduate student temporarily came to the museum to work as a tour guide. After meeting Kurt, the two fell in love. Kurt was estranged from him.

Regarding the relationship between the deputy director and the director, I never thought that the deputy director would quit his job. He was already discussing the details of the divorce with his wife, so the deputy director and Kurt had a dispute, which led to a farce. After the graduate student learned the true situation, he was dejected.

Leave. From then on, Kurt and the deputy director became strangers.

Two months ago, Cote had the opportunity to work at the British Museum. The director congratulated her generously and even called his student, a director of the British Museum, to praise Cote. But she didn't expect Cote to accept the offer.

After getting the rejection call from the British Museum, I found out that it was the deputy director who said a lot of bad things about Cote that led to Cote not getting the job.

So there was a harassment case a month ago. The curator is 65 years old this year and was scheduled to retire in the second half of the year. The deputy director should have been the most suitable successor, so this incident led to him being excluded from the list.

As a result, the deputy director cursed Kurt many times in public, and the two almost had physical conflicts several times. Fortunately, his colleagues stopped him. The director faced this situation and did some personnel work. Because of the director’s connections and Kurt’s

Due to his strength, Coate would leave his job at the Museum of London shortly after the exhibition and take up a management position at the Albert Museum.

The head bodyguard concluded: "I think it is unlikely that these two people colluded to commit a crime."

Does that mean that the deputy director is innocent? Coate is not an accomplice, and her behavior in attracting the director's attention was purely accidental? The deputy director used chance to commit a crime?

Liang Xidao: "I've been talking for a long time, but I haven't seen Junku's photos yet." He didn't understand this question, so he jumped out first.

Bobby: “There are a lot of them online.”

Liang Xidao: "Is it genuine?"

Bobby took out his mobile phone: "There is a genuine one."

Liang Xi took the phone and looked at the photos. There were many Junku pictures, and even shameless websites were watermarked, claiming to own the electronic copyright, and they had to pay to download the pictures. One of the pictures was from the office of Junku's owner, Prince Saudi Arabia.

The photo, the prince's kind smile, and the camera captured Junku hanging behind the wall. This should be the authentic Junku.

Chris turned his head and saw this photo together, and said with hesitation: "Humph!"

"how?"

Chris said: "Hundred-year-old artworks and oil paintings are not suitable for hanging on the wall. Too strong light will damage the oil paintings. The most terrible thing is that the ashtray in front of the prince still has half a cigar. It has been exposed to smoke for a long time.

Even the walls will change color, let alone an oil painting. It is not a big problem to say that it has been smoked for hundreds of years, but the art is not left to our contemporary people, but to be passed on to our descendants. Just like a tree, if no one

If you hurt it, it will keep growing. Every person who passes by picks a leaf from it, and it doesn't seem to hurt it much. Over time, even if the tree survives, it will not be as healthy as before."

Liang Xi said: "Listen to what you said, Chris, I think of Thresh. Thresh will definitely say that the greatest value of art is to sell it to a fool and use the fool's money to help the poor. Last time I talked with Thresh

Shi, this idiot, debated for a while and felt that he had become an idiot. Those who are close to red are red, and those who are close to ink are black."

Chris curiously asked: "Is this Thresh the Thresh from the Solitary Elder Society?"

Liang Xi nodded: "We have talked."

Chris asked: "What bad thing did he do?"

Liang Xidao: "It's a long story. Besides, it's just a swordsman, so there's nothing much to say."

Bobby was not interested in the topic of Thresh and asked: "Liang Xi, do you think he did what Junku did this time?"

Liang Xi thought about it for a while: "I don't know. But if he did it, I think we can't catch Junku. Thresh is a sword, but he has a plan, and he is very good at killing people with borrowed swords and enjoying the results."

Poppy paid more attention to Junku. After all, the insurance company had to pay 200 million yuan. Poppy said: "Are you sure now whether the deputy director has paid Junku?"

Liang Xidao: "I can't be sure. The deputy director has no criminal record. Maybe he can hide Junku very well, but he definitely can't control his emotions and behavior. Bobby, it's four o'clock in the afternoon, let's have someone come in at the deputy director's office.

Install something in the curator's home, and we can observe the deputy curator's life at night, and we should be able to get the correct answer."

Chris reminded: "This is illegal."

"I never do anything illegal." Bobby glanced at the head bodyguard, who nodded slightly and left the coffee shop to arrange work. Bobby said to Chris: "At the same time, I don't care if others do anything illegal."

Shameless! Chris said in his heart.

The deputy director is the only suspect at present and the most likely suspect to recover Junku. If the deputy director is not the thief, Junku is over.

Bobby was a little annoyed when he thought of this: "We have to kill Thresh, the swordsman, and 200 million will be gone."

Chris asked: "Did Thresh do it?"

Liang Xi said: "It doesn't matter if he is, even if he is on the hammer stone."

Bobby agreed very much: "At least this way I can find someone to vent my anger to."

Fake oil! Chris agreed: "It's okay to transfer emotions and vent them. It's very scientific. Haha."

…

The insurance company told Bobby that the curator would hold a press conference the day after tomorrow to inform the public that Junku had been stolen. The curator must abide by the rules. If the artwork is stolen and cannot be recovered as soon as possible, the stolen party will inform the media through the media.

How do thieves properly store art and avoid causing unnecessary damage during transportation.

Time was running out, but the two young people began to argue. Bobby asked to go to his mansion to monitor the deputy curator. Liang Xi asked to go to the detective agency to watch the surveillance footage. Bobby's reason was that he had a great contribution to the Silk Scarf Killer.

, he is the owner of a detective agency, and this case is closely related to his Clement family.

Liang Xi’s reason: Go die.

Poppy: I won’t give you the surveillance signal
