Around three in the morning, another wave of thieves tried to sneak into the hotel.
These are two so-called elegant thieves in their twenties. One of them is the guy I saw near the Luxembourg Gardens in the afternoon.
They pretended to be cold storage workers who delivered seafood to the hotel, and hid in the refrigerated truck in an attempt to hide the truth.
As a result, he was discovered by the security personnel guarding the back door of the hotel, and was locked in a refrigerated truck, where he almost froze to death.
Seeing that they were about to freeze to death in the refrigerated truck, these two guys could only take the initiative to knock on the door and ask for help, and raised their hands to surrender.
Immediately afterwards, they were taken away by the French police who arrived.
In the blink of an eye, it's a new day.
At nine o'clock in the morning, everyone started to take action separately.
The first and second exploration groups led by Matthew set off again, rushing to Montmartre and Fontainebleau Forest respectively.
Continue to perform in public, attracting the attention of media reporters and numerous treasure hunters.
Liangzi and his third exploration team dispersed and rushed to explore several other pieces of land and buildings owned by the Lu Qinzhai family to investigate the relevant situation.
The actions of the third exploration team are still strictly confidential.
As soon as they left the hotel, they quickly got rid of the media reporters and informants who were following them.
After the three exploration groups left, Xiao Ran left the presidential suite and prepared to go to the nearby Musée d'Orsay.
Xiao Ran's main purpose of going to the Musée d'Orsay was not to visit.
Instead, all the antique artworks discovered and purchased yesterday were sent to the Musée d'Orsay vault for storage.
This is the agreement reached with Lawrence last night, and it is also one of the best choices.
The reason why we chose to store many antique artworks in the Musée d'Orsay instead of in a bank's vault.
The reason is actually very simple. The financial center of Paris is in the suburbs of La Défense, which is far away from here.
Although the banks in the city also have safes, the safety factor is not very high, which is not very reassuring.
The Louvre Museum and the Musée d'Orsay, which are very close to the hotel, have the highest security vaults in France, and they are the most suitable vaults with constant temperature and humidity for preserving antique artworks.
The Musée d'Orsay was closer, so Xiao Ran chose the Musée d'Orsay.
He is not worried about the French turning their backs, withholding their antiques and artworks, or forcing transactions.
In that case, he has plenty of means to retaliate, and it will definitely make the French regret it.
When Xiao Ran and the others came out of the elevator with the antique artworks, several media reporters waiting in the lobby immediately rushed up.
After being stopped, these guys started asking questions loudly at the top of their lungs.
"Good morning, Mr. Sean, I am a reporter from Le Figaro"
"According to police information, someone tried to sneak into this five-star hotel last night. Do you have any losses?"
A media reporter in his thirties asked loudly.
Before he finished speaking, another beautiful reporter asked the next question.
"Good morning, Mr. Sean, I am a reporter from France 2"
"News came from Montmartre and Fontainebleau Forest yesterday, saying that your two exploration teams have discovered something in these two places. Can you tell us about the situation?"
"One more thing, what are your plans today? Will you visit other antique stores in the city?"
Upon hearing the inquiry, Xiao Ran immediately stopped.
He looked at these guys, then smiled and said loudly:
"Good morning, fellow journalists, I'm glad to see you all here, and thank you very much for your attention."
"We did receive some harassment last night, but fortunately there was no loss. Here, I hope the Paris police can strengthen the security of this hotel."
"As for our exploration and discovery, as well as today's actions, this involves commercial secrets, so I have no comment."
"Okay, that's it. I wish you all have a nice day."
After speaking, he waved to the media reporters and then led the team towards the hotel entrance.
At this time, the bulletproof motorcade had arrived at the hotel door.
Even though the Musée d'Orsay was within easy reach, Xiao Ran decided to take a bus to the Musée d'Orsay for safety reasons.
After walking out of the hotel door, Xiao Ran, Yi Lian and the others got straight into the car and ignored the questions from reporters outside.
In a moment, the antiques and cultural relics were loaded into each car, and everyone got on the car one after another.
The motorcade immediately started and drove away from the hotel towards the Musée d'Orsay not far away.
Just as the motorcade drove out of the hotel, Xiao Ran saw it at a glance.
The first few guys who tried to sneak into the hotel last night were standing on the other side of the Seine River, looking over here, everyone's eyes filled with dismay.
Although those guys put on disguises, they still could not escape Xiao Ran's eyes.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran couldn't help but have a sneer on his lips.
Then, he suddenly picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Anthony, have you seen those guys standing on the bank of the Tuileries Palace on the other side of the Seine and looking out?"
"The behavior of those guys looks quite suspicious. They may be those idiots last night. Inform the Paris police to check on those guys."
After the words fell, Anthony immediately responded:
"Copy that, Sean, I saw those guys, and their behavior is indeed suspicious."
"I'll notify Francois' men right away and ask them to check on these guys."
After saying that, he got busy.
at the same time.
The art thieves on the bank of the Tuileries Palace were looking over here and discussing in low voices.
"Based on what I know about Sean, today he will send Master Lautrec's painting to the safe for storage."
"In other words, it is basically impossible for us to get that priceless painting. I have to say that this is a huge regret."
A white man in his thirties whispered.
Like him, the others were full of regret.
Immediately afterwards, another guy continued:
"It doesn't matter, even if we miss this painting by Master Lautrec, there are still many opportunities to make money."
"In the coming time, Sean, a lucky bastard, will definitely discover many valuable top-notch works of art and even amazing treasures."
"That's our opportunity. I don't believe it. He will be so careful every time. We can always find opportunities..."
While they were talking, two police cars suddenly drove towards them from two different directions.
In addition, several Paris police officers patrolling nearby also surrounded them.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of several art thieves immediately changed.
"Fake! We've been exposed, these damn police are here for us!"
"Damn it, that bastard Sean's men must have discovered us again and notified the police."
Several of the art thieves cursed in annoyance.
Immediately afterwards, the leading white man immediately said:
"Everyone scattered and ran away, and went back to the old place to gather. It seems we have to redo the plan."
"No matter who is caught by the police, don't say a word. I will arrange for someone to go to the police station for bail."
"Okay, boss"
The other people nodded in response.
The next moment, the boss immediately issued an order.
"Guys, run!"
As soon as the words fell, the art thieves immediately ran away in different directions.
Seeing this scene, the Paris policemen who were outflanking him immediately gave chase.
The two police cars also each selected a thief and started chasing him.
On the left bank of the Seine, Xiao Ran's motorcade had arrived at the entrance of the Musée d'Orsay and slowly stopped.
