In the blink of an eye, more than ten minutes have passed.
Frank and Peggy are still staying in the hall of the underground shelter, viewing and admiring the many stolen antiques and art stored here.
Without exception, these stolen antiques and artworks are of top quality, and each piece is valuable.
In the process, Timothy and Peggy discovered several stolen works of art from their respective museums, and they cheered excitedly.
Pierre and the others who stayed on the ground also discovered several stolen antique artworks that originally belonged to major museums and collectors in France.
These guys were so excited that they all said it was a worthwhile trip!
In addition, they also saw many top-notch antique artworks from many top art masters that were stolen in different periods!
Each piece of those antique works of art is unique and of amazing value!
Looking at those babies, whether it was Frank and the others in the underground shelter, or Pierre and the others on the ground, everyone was jealous!
They all wish they could snatch those top-quality antiques and artworks directly and make them their own!
In the process of appreciating these stolen antique works of art, everyone above and below the ground paid some attention to Xiao Ran's every move.
However, Xiao Ran turned off the high-definition camera he carried and took a senior lawyer to explore the remaining rooms one by one!
No one but the senior Philadelphia lawyer knew what treasure he had discovered.
I don’t know how many stolen antiques and artworks are hidden in those rooms, whether there are any traps, etc.
Everyone only saw him coming out of one room and then walking into another room.
The senior lawyer from Philadelphia who followed him always had an expression of extreme shock.
Judging from this alone, everyone knows.
There must be many priceless stolen antiques and artworks hidden in those rooms, but no one knows what those stolen antiques and artworks are.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Ran finally completed the investigation.
He came out of a room at the far end of the corridor, took the senior lawyer from Philadelphia, and walked straight into the hall.
Seeing them coming, Peggy immediately stepped forward and asked:
"Sean, what did you find in those other rooms?"
"Are the other paintings stolen from our museum in those rooms?"
"In this hall, I didn't see Rembrandt's "The Storm on the Sea of Galilee" or Vermeer's "The Concert""
Before he finished speaking, Timothy couldn't wait to continue:
"Yes! Sean, what treasures are hidden in the other rooms?"
"There don't seem to be any traps in those rooms. Can we go in and take a look now?"
Xiao Ran looked at these guys, then smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, there are no traps in this corridor and several rooms behind me."
"In other words, everyone can visit with confidence and don't have to worry about any dangers."
"I can tell you that what you see next will cause a huge sensation."
With that said, Xiao Ran casually turned on the high-definition camera on his chest.
Then he made a please gesture.
"Gentlemen, please, let's appreciate this miracle created by Miles and McCann!"
"Hahaha"
Peggy and the others all laughed.
Then, under the leadership of Xiao Ran, everyone walked into the corridor together.
In a blink of an eye, everyone has arrived at the door of the first room.
There are several oil paintings hanging on the wall outside the door of this room.
Because they are hung outside, everyone has seen these oil paintings before, and it is basically certain which art masters they are.
Everyone knows which museums these two oil paintings were once collected in.
No one knows where Myers and his friends stole the other paintings.
If the origin of these stolen works of art cannot be found out in the end, they will become ownerless stolen works of art and will eventually fall into Xiao Ran's hands.
Such a result is naturally what he wants to see most.
Arriving at the door of the room, Xiao Ran pointed to several paintings hanging on the right side of the door and said with a smile:
"Gentlemen, I believe everyone can tell which artist these oil paintings are from."
"Divided by art schools, they are Cubism, Abstract Realism, Abstract Expressionism, and Surrealism paintings."
"And they are all masterpieces. Each painting is valuable and unique!"
"The paintings and sculptures stored in this room happen to be in the same artistic style as these paintings. Even if the artistic styles are different, the creation years are very close."
"These art schools were all born in the twentieth century. From this point of view, I call this room the modern and contemporary art exhibition room."
"I believe that these two guys, Miles and McCann, divide and store these top-notch antiques in the same way!"
"Wow! You are so professional. Isn't this just a museum exhibition hall?"
There was an exclamation of exclamation at the scene, including in front of the big-screen TV on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ran took Peggy and the others into the first room, which was also the largest room.
As soon as they entered the room, they saw it immediately.
On the wall facing the door hangs a Cubist oil painting, and this oil painting is well known.
The moment they saw this Cubist oil painting, Timothy and the others immediately exclaimed.
"Wow! Isn't that Picasso's "The Dove and the Pea"? This Cubist masterpiece is actually hidden here."
"Of the five top works of art stolen from the Museum of Modern Art in Paris in 2010, two have now been found, and the other three are estimated to be here."
Before he finished speaking, everyone had seen another painting stolen from the Museum of Modern Art in Paris.
That is "Woman Holding a Fan", created by the master of art Modigliani.
The famous stolen top-notch work of art was placed on the floor beneath Picasso's "The Dove and the Pea" and stood against the wall.
They were stolen at the same time, and now they were found at the same time, right next to each other, within easy reach!
The moment they saw these two top-notch works of art, everyone felt like they were in a dream!
Everyone in the entertainment area on the ground was also stunned.
Especially the French guys like Pierre, they were all stunned and their eyes almost popped out.
The next moment, the director of the Museum of Modern Art in Paris suddenly jumped three feet high and cheered excitedly.
"That's great! God bless us, Picasso's "The Dove and the Pea" and Modigliani's "Woman with a Fan" were found at the same time!"
"It's been ten years! We have been looking for these stolen top-notch works of art, but we didn't expect them to be hidden here!"
“This trip to Philadelphia is so worth it, it’s a miracle!”
As the French guys cheered, the rest of the crowd woke up.
Immediately afterwards, everyone turned to look at these French guys in unison, with a bit of a smile in their eyes!
Yes, these top-notch artworks stolen from your museum have been found!
But if you want to take away these treasures easily, I’m afraid it’s not that easy!
With that guy Sean's ruthless style, you can either keep half of the stolen art, or you can exchange it for a large amount of China's top antique art!
Otherwise, you have no chance of taking these treasures away smoothly!
In the underground shelter.
Everyone has entered the room and begun to view and admire the many antique artworks stored and displayed in the room.
These antique artworks are mainly oil paintings of various artistic styles, and then there are several small bronze sculptures of different artistic styles.
In the Western world, oil paintings and sculptures are the two most important collection categories and the most valuable.
Because of this, the main targets of art thieves of all kinds are paintings and sculptures.
McCann and Miles are certainly no different, and they may be two of the craziest guys ever.
In this room alone, there are dozens of oil paintings of different artistic styles and sizes, some hanging on the walls and some standing on the floor.
These oil paintings cover almost all major art schools of modern and contemporary times, and they are all painted by masters of art.
Those small bronze sculptures are all extraordinary and unique works of art!
Among these stolen antique works of art, quite a few are known to everyone, and they are all famous and top-notch works of art.
Moreover, after these antique artworks were stolen, the owners chose to report the crime, thus attracting more attention.
The rest of the paintings and sculptures that I didn't recognize were even more numerous.
Through the characteristics of their artistic styles and painting techniques, everyone can basically determine which art masters they are.
In these paintings and sculptures, everyone sees Picasso and Modigliani.
Saw art masters such as Andy Warhol, Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Joan Miró, as well as Dalí and Mondrian.
Without exception, these art masters are the leaders of various art schools, and even the founders of various art schools.
Each of these paintings and sculptures from their hands is a well-deserved top-notch work of art.
Because of this, these top antique artworks were targeted by Miles and McCann and stolen through various means.
Because of the huge impact of these top-level works of art, it is well known that even on the black market of antique art, it is not easy to deal with.
So Miles and the others kept these treasures in their hands, waiting for them to settle for a period of time before taking action after the prosecution period.
But where can they imagine it.
He spent a lot of money and spent all his effort and effort to steal these top-notch antiques, but in the end, Xiao Ran got a lot of money for nothing.
Seeing these valuable top-notch artworks in front of them, everyone at the scene and on the ground was shocked.
"This is Willem de Kooning's painting, "Untitled 16". It was previously collected in the Houston Museum. It was stolen six years ago. I didn't expect it to be hidden here."
"If I read it correctly, this should be the work of the modern sculpture master Giacometti, "Woman Carrying a Flower Basket", but I have never heard of this sculpture being stolen."
"The Embrace" by Giacometti
