Chapter 134 What a painful realization(2/4)
Deputy Director Guo smelled it as soon as he smelled it.
On the wall, most of "The Starless Sky" has been burned, revealing the mask hidden under the painting.
The Faceless Man's white mask.
Deputy Director Guo's heart sank.
The person in charge felt his heart clenching and it was stinging. He wanted to go in and take a look, but Deputy Director Guo stopped him with his hand.
Deputy Director Guo dispersed his mental energy and sensed it carefully.
After confirming that no one else was hiding in the room, he walked in with the person in charge.
The person in charge trembled and removed the frame.
"Crack."
A black square the size of a fingernail fell.
The black square may not have been black or square originally, but it has been burnt and its original appearance cannot be seen.
"wrong!"
The person in charge suddenly said: "This painting is fake!"
Deputy Director Guo walked over holding a black square.
The person in charge gave him the painting and said, "You can touch it and see."
Deputy Director Guo touched it and took a look.
The texture is very new and does not have that old feeling that has passed through the years.
"It is indeed fake." Deputy Director Guo, as a layman, can feel it.
The paper used in antique calligraphy and painting cannot be so new.
When he heard what he said, the person in charge finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not my own imagination.
The painting was not burned, it was simply switched away in advance.
Although they are all gone, at least the real paintings were not destroyed.
For people who love art, as long as paintings still exist in this world, it is not the worst outcome.
But Deputy Director Guo couldn't accept it.
The other party actually unknowingly erased the painting in front of him?
Deputy Director Guo probably figured out the tactics of Kaitou GX.
The burnt little cube in his hand was still warm.
The fire has been put out but it's still hot.
This is supposed to be a miniature heating device used to ignite the white phosphorus on the fake painting.
It is timed.
But the question is, how did the other party put in the heating device and fake paintings?
"Has anyone come in these days?" Deputy Director Guo asked.
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he actually already guessed the answer.
No.
If he would leave such a crucial clue, the other party would not be Kaitou Gx.
"No." The person in charge confirmed, "Since you brought people over to look at it that day, I have never opened this room again."
With the triple door lock using fingerprint and face key cards, others can only forcefully break the door if they want to get in.
Not to mention how big the movement was in forcing the door open.
The fact before them was that until they just came over, the door was intact.
"There's no problem with monitoring..." Deputy Director Guo said to himself and looked up.
If there is a problem with the monitoring, it is impossible for the person in charge to discover that the painting was burned in time.
In other words, this is a secret room that is watched at all times.
If the person in charge has not opened the door, no one should have come in.
But this painting was definitely stolen by someone.
Even if it is an invisible card, surveillance should capture the process of the painting being switched, and the staff will sound the alarm as soon as possible after seeing it.
And the stealth card can't go through the wall, so how can you get in without opening the door?
Could it be invisibility and teleportation through walls?
Use spatial rules to steal paintings?
Isn't this a cannon to kill a chicken?
Even if this is the case, the security personnel at the door should feel the fluctuation of star power, right?
It doesn't make sense.
Deputy Director Guo was a little irritable.
He picked up the walkie-talkie and asked: "Is the dark realm outside still there?"
"No more."
"I didn't see anyone. He probably ran away after dropping the note."
"Where's the illusion of Kaitou GX?"
"Gone...just disappeared."
"I see."
Deputy Director Guo took a deep breath.
I almost choked.
The smell of white phosphorus is really unpleasant.
"Let's go out and ask someone to give me a copy of the surveillance videos of the past few days. Don't worry about the painting. If you need to apply for insurance, apply for insurance. I will set up a task force here as soon as possible... wait!
"
Walking to the door, Deputy Director Guo seemed to have discovered something.
He suddenly fell silent, stopped, and stretched out his hand to stop the person in charge again.
The person in charge was about to step out with one foot, but he stopped him and had to take back the foot that had not yet landed.
Deputy Director Guo knelt down.
There was a small water stain in front of him, which reflected light under the light.
Why are there water stains outside the door?
It was normal for there to be water in the house because the fire had just been extinguished, but the threshold was slightly higher than the floor and the water did not flow outside.
Only he and the person in charge entered the room, and none of them came out at this time.
This water stain is divided into two parts.
The front part is a triangle and the back part is a dot.
Like...
footprint!
High heel footprints!
"Grass!"
Deputy Director Guo picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Look for me quickly! Find a woman wearing high heels! Quickly!"
The loud voice startled the person in charge.
Before the person in charge could react, Deputy Director Guo grabbed his shoulder and said, "Recall, was there anything wrong in the control room that afternoon when I came here?"
The person in charge said nonchalantly: "It seems not? After you left that day, I went there once..."
"This includes staff members leaving their posts without permission, sleeping, etc. In short, they are not always watching the surveillance." Deputy Director Guo said, "If you think about it carefully, is there or is it not?"
"I haven't left my post without permission. We have always been very strict with our work requirements. If I sleep..." the person in charge recalled, "When I went there, Xiao He's mental state was not very good. He looked like he had just woken up?"
The person in charge wasn't sure because he didn't see it with his own eyes.
"Shall we ask now?"
"No."
Deputy Director Guo closed his eyes and let go of the person in charge.
