"Do you know what you're doing?"

President Morijima had a gloomy face.

"President Morishima, if you have something to do, you can wait until the police station's people come."

"Security, drive them out."

"There are so many people watching here. I think there are many celebrities in the circle. We were commissioned by the insurance company to negotiate with you. Is it a sign that you are guilty?"

"It's because of your rudeness and lack of etiquette."

"Then I'm sorry for my rudeness, President Morijima, I found that your art gallery is not very safe and I'm eager to warn you..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Someone claimed to steal the place, didn't he?"

President Morishima's appearance did not change, but his neck moved slightly, swallowed his saliva, and was obviously said to be attentive.

At this time, a sirens sounded outside the art gallery.

It's so fast, because there are guard booths nearby...

"President Morijima, for the safety of the art museum, I think I need to let the police department come and have a look."

Su Qi pointed at the wall with a small shovel.

President Morishima's face was so gloomy that water was dripping.

Most of the people present didn't understand what was going on now. Perhaps only Su Qi, who vaguely guessed the matter, and President Morishima, who concealed the matter, knew what they were talking about.

The door of the art gallery was pushed open, and a police officer walked in with the police officer.

"What happened here, who reported the case."

Su Qi raised his hand.

"Police Department, Morishima Art Museum has been threatened, and there may be an art theft here."

When President Morijima heard Su Qi's words, his forehead was sweating unconsciously, and Su Qi's guess hit the vital point.

"Theft case? It's about to? How can the police we received say it's a fraud..."

"Police Department, you should come and have a look here."

Su Qi pointed to the wall, where he just scraped off a layer of wall.

The police department stepped forward and looked.

"What's this?"

"There is a theft trailer left by the thief, but it was covered up by white paint."

"What? Theft preview?"

The police department was stunned and looked carefully again. There were indeed words that were covered up.

“I suggest you shovel the paint and take a look.”

"Who is the person in charge here?"

The police department asked.

Faced with this kind of scene, President Morijima had to stand up with his teeth.

"I am the president here, Masayoshi Morishima."

"Mr. Morijima, we need to remove the white paint from this wall and we need to confirm with you whether we agree."

"This involves President Morishima's reputation. I don't think President Morishima will disagree unless... you are related to the theft gang."

Su Qi forced another step.

President Morishima nodded gritting his teeth. Even if he didn't nod, he could not stop the police department. After all, the wall had been shoveled open, revealing something hidden inside. It was seen by so many people. This could not be round, otherwise there would be room for detour.

Morijima nodded, and the police immediately asked someone to shovel the white paint on the wall. He saw the hidden words on the wall.

...

We're about to take away "The Witch Dance" from here it deserves a better destination for the White Whale

...

"Oh! My God! It's a white whale! That international art theft organization?!"

There are people around the circle, and some people know what the white whale means.

A notorious international theft organization specializing in precious artworks.

Su Qi saw it and it was true.

...

Art theft is a relatively special theft because it has the problem of selling stolen goods.

Ordinary theft, money, jewelry, all have market-priced items, and the amount is as much as you want.

But the artwork is different.

If the Mona Lisa is hanging in the Louvre, you claim you stole it, but the Louvre doesn't admit it.

Then even if you can take out a pair of "Mona Lisa" in your hand, it will be fake.

This is the particularity of the value of the artwork.

Therefore, there are few random stolen artworks in general, but are divided into several situations.

One way, the buyer wants to paint the original painting, and hires a person to specify which painting to steal. The price has been agreed upon and the buyer has been determined. This is relatively simple, just stealing is done.

The second type is to steal it and then find a buyer to sell the main stolen goods, or to make the reputation of the people, this is more troublesome.

You have to let the world know that things have been stolen by you to make sense, and the media must be exposed.

That's why there are similar crime previews, or things like leaving behind something with a strong sense of ritual after committing the crime.

Indicate organization, indicate identity.

I did this. The media will report it and tell the whole world that they lost this painting and are now in my hands! Buyers will come and buy it!

Of course, there are countless fake scammers here, and they are even more numb.

The counterfeiting of fakes in the art circle is not groundless.

Even if 90% of fakes are eliminated today with the development of technology, no one can guarantee that 100% of the fakes displayed in art galleries must be genuine, not fakes.

As long as the creation comes from the hands of others and the evaluation comes from the mouth of others, there is no 100% scam.

...

"There are still some thieves who are doing crime previews now?"

Senior Ueno looked surprised.

"Senior, if you have a collector friend who subscribes to the Guardian's paper magazine every issue, you will find that there is an active international art theft organization in the past six months. Through the general second-tier behavior in this retro movie, you will gain your fame and look for some underground buyers."

Su Qi smiled, yes, he had seen the news about this white whale in the newspaper where Mr. Andersen was reading while drinking tea at the club.

"The Witch Dance...isn't this painting the one that was stolen at auction last week?"

"It has been stolen, why do I still send a theft preview..."

"No! This is a preview issued before being stolen!"

The police department looked at the blurry but clearly readable text on the wall, and turned to look at President Morishima.

"Mr. Morijima, please explain what this crime preview is and why you are covering it up."

President Morijima sweated on his forehead.

"We thought it was a prank..."

Su Qi interrupted directly.

"Then you choose not to call the police, cover it up, and then put huge insurance on this painting, then send it to auction and steal it for people, and then defraud insurance?"

"You are slandering! That painting is much more valuable than insurance money!"

Su Qi smiled.

"What if the painting is fake? The real painting is still in your hands. You just used a fake painting to steal the white whale and pretended that the real painting was lost."

President Morijima stared at Su Qi with a gloomy face.

"There is no evidence, you are slandering me."

The police department stopped them as they looked at the scene.

"Mr. Morijima, whether it is a slander or not, you conceal the crime notice and have been suspected of fraud. You need to cooperate with us to go back to the police station for investigation."

"you!……"

"Please cooperate."

“I want to contact my lawyer.”
