"FUCK!"
"Oh, God!"
"Why is that painting from China missing?"
"Robert, tell me, why? WHY?"
Mark Jones, the interim director of the British Museum, looked at the curator in front of him angrily.
a few months ago,
A theft shocked the world. A total of more than 2,000 collection items were lost at the British Museum.
This is not the first time that the British Museum has lost artifacts. In the past few decades, artifacts have been lost almost every once in a while.
This time was the most brutal, as more than 2,000 items were stolen directly.
The biggest suspect is the museum’s curator Peter Higgs.
He is an expert on ancient Greek and Mediterranean cultural relics. He has worked at the British Museum for 35 years, but this time he became a "scapegoat" and was fired on the spot.
Fisher, then director of the British Museum, also resigned.
Mark Jones is currently acting director.
However, not long after he took office.
Another cultural relic was lost, a calligraphy and painting from China.
The most eye-catching items in the British Museum are the cultural relics from China. Whether in terms of historical value or the so-called national value of England, the cultural relics from China are the most meaningful.
Most of these were plundered from China.
During this period, China asked the British Museum to return cultural relics from China more than once, but they were rejected for various reasons.
return?
impossible.
These are the historical witnesses of their victorious countries.
Even though China has now become one of the largest economies in the world, what is still indelible is that it was once invaded by our British.
Therefore, the British Museum will not return these cultural relics under any circumstances.
But the words "acting director" and "acting director" have not been removed yet.
Such a bad theft happened again.
How could Mark Jones not be in a hurry? If it was really stolen, then more than just the word "agent" would be taken away from him.
What's more likely is that his career is probably over.
And Robert, who was being questioned by him, also looked confused.
"Director, I really don't know!"
"Check the surveillance, check the surveillance, we must find the painting no matter what this time, otherwise, everyone will shirk responsibility!"
Then,
Just something weird happened.
The monitoring system was not broken. It was different from the previous theft cases. In the previous theft cases, either the monitoring system was maliciously deleted, or the monitoring system was broken on the same day. In short, the monitoring system could not see what happened.
This time, there was no damage to the surveillance, but no trace of man-made damage could be seen.
In the eyes of these people, the "Picture of Proverbs for Women's History" disappeared out of thin air.
That's right, it just disappeared into thin air.
"Is he an invisible man?"
"Is it the special gene display of the United States, or the dragon group of China?"
According to legend, in the Chinese country in the East, there is a mysterious organization called the Dragon Group. This is an organization that is feared all over the world. There are even rumors that mercenaries dare to go anywhere, but the mysterious East is their forbidden land. It is because of the existence of this organization called Dragon Group.
"This is unscientific. There is no trace of the cabinet being opened. Why did it disappear out of thin air? Even if he is invisible, he still needs to open the cabinet to do it, right?"
"No one can pass through our placement measures unless Satan himself takes action!"
Like a shocking incident, a layer of haze hung over the heads of everyone in the British Museum.
Even if I tried to investigate, I couldn't find any clues.
However, they can't give up. Once they give up the pursuit, everyone here will face the same treatment as the previous group of people. They will either become the scapegoat and enter the situation, or they will be dismissed for improper management and investigation.
"Block the news. Don't make any news about the missing painting now. Check with me all the cultural relics trading markets in England, and then the United States and China. I seriously suspect that it was stolen by them through some means."
In fact, everyone knows that it cannot be stolen by ordinary people.
Including all the previous losses of cultural relics, it was actually theft by insiders. Otherwise, how could ordinary people pass through the heavily fortified British Museum and steal so many cultural relics.
This time, judging from the current clues, it doesn't look like an insider is behind the scenes.
Because everyone is new, the entire British Museum has been purged. If these people still dare to keep it secret, they are too brave.
Mark Jones is grumpy.
He had been careful and careful, but he still didn't expect such a thing to happen.
"The library is about to open. Before that, everyone will be investigated. If it weren't for your self-destruction, I would truthfully report it to my superiors. This time it's so weird, shit, what the hell!"
"Are there any fakes now? Put the fakes up first, otherwise, when the museum opens, the news about our lost cultural relics will be completely exposed!"
----------
Old John, whose real name is Chen Aiguo.
He is actually an authentic Chinese.
But I have been living in England for many years.
It's not because he likes the country of England and wants to rebel, it's because he hates the empire that once invaded China.
The reason why Old John has lived in England for a long time is to record all the Chinese cultural relics collected in the British Museum.
In the past few decades, he has purchased several cultural relics belonging to China from the staff of the British Museum, and finally donated them to the motherland through secret channels.
There are more things that cannot be purchased, so he must use his limited life to record them all.
Even if these cultural relics are lost one day, at least I can tell the Chinese people how many treasures belonging to China are hidden in England.
Basically every day, Old John would come to the British Museum when it opened and would not leave until it closed.
The approximate number of Chinese objects in the British Museum is 23,000.
Yes, you read that right, more than 23,000 pieces.
This number is enough to open 20 museums in China.
But now they are all in a foreign country, sleeping in someone else's country, being judged by foreigners.
He can record about 5 items every day. He not only remembers the name, but also records the story of the cultural relic and how it entered the British Museum.
Today, old John came to the entrance of the British Museum as usual.
But when the time came, the door was not opened yet, and the security personnel and ticket sellers at the door looked a little nervous.
"What happened?"
Old John guessed in his mind.
Some time ago, the British Museum lost more than 2,000 cultural relics, half of which were from China. Old John didn't know how much he had recorded and how much he had missed, so he had to hurry up. If there was another museum theft, he might have to do it again. I missed many treasures belonging to China.
"Why don't you open the door when the time comes?"
