If you ask what is the biggest news in the world these days, it is this robbery case. There is no news more than the theft case of Fang Yi and Bobile's works... The works of these two people combined are worth 80 million. The insured amount in US dollars has also become known to the public.
In just a few days, the headlines of major European and American newspapers were clearly reporting on the overall progress of the theft case in Paris. As for the news on TV, it was endless. Why call a crime expert? Let’s analyze what crime scenes were reconstructed and why the case happened the way it did. Anyway, what many so-called experts said for a while was very clear, and the so-called latest developments in the case were endless.
"Is this considered progress? There is also a major discovery in the case!" Fang Yi and Zhang Xu and Li Lin were lying on the sofa in the hotel and watching TV together. A French TV station host was talking about the case. We have made some progress. The reason is that we have found the source of the materials used by these criminals to make smoke.
But that's not what Fang Yi thought. Now the crime process of these thieves has been revealed. Although the specific number of people who participated in the crime is unknown, in general there should be no less than six people, and this The six people knew the scene quite well and how to take pictures, and they knew the location of the surveillance camera very well.
Speaking of the steps, it is very simple. A few people come in and put a dozen or so smoke tubes in hidden places on the second and third floors. Within a few seconds, the entire second and third floors are filled with smoke. Then they open the door. The fire alarm bell caused confusion among people.
Then these people took down the painting calmly. Then they took the painting and blended into the crowd. When they went out, they didn't even bring the painting tube. It looked like they just put it in their arms and slipped away from the crowd. .
"The security company you hired is too useless!" Li Lin said to Fang Yi while watching the TV screen: "In broad daylight, a few thieves could snatch the painting away right under their noses!" .
People like Zhu Zheng and Lu Qikun went back to China together as soon as the preview was over. Keshima and his friends didn't have much fun in Paris, so they also went back to Los Angeles together.
Only Zhang Xu and Li Lin were hanging out in Paris together. They had to wait for Softbi's autumn shoot in the United States. They had a lot of time, and they couldn't stay in the hotel all the time. Let's watch TV? What's more, it's also Li Lin's first time in France. He always has to visit Paris, Lyon, Marseille and so on. It's gaining experience, isn't it?
The two of them were transferring to a winery in Bordeaux when they heard that Fang Yi's paintings had been robbed in broad daylight. They thought that Fang Yi had suffered a lot of damage. Naturally, they rushed back and prepared to go to their side. They came to comfort their friend's sorrow for losing US dollars. When they heard that it was not their friend who lost but the insurance company, the two of them became a little unconcerned.
No! The two of them had just returned to the hotel. The gift box was still placed in the living room of Fang Yi's room. They sat lazily on the sofa and watched TV like Fang Yi.
"Seriously, if you want to have a high chance of success in robbing artworks and escape unscathed, you really can only choose during the day!" Fang Yi clasped his hands behind his head, raised his feet on the coffee table and assumed the most comfortable sitting position. He did something he knew well to his two country bumpkin friends.
"What's the explanation?!" Zhang Xu asked Fang Yi as he didn't understand.
Fang Yi was fine anyway, so let’s just talk about it: “Let’s put it this way! In all places where art works worth twenty to thirty million US dollars are hidden, security measures are strongest at night. Not to mention various alarms.
, even the security personnel are the most vigilant at this time. Do you think you can steal something by hanging a steel wire from the rooftop like on TV? Even thieves can think of things that the security company can't think of? Regardless of what else is on the scene, this alarm
System. What kind of device is that?”
"Is it credible?" Li Lin didn't believe it. The main problem in this matter now is that the security personnel relaxed their vigilance. It is very difficult for this smoke generator to be brought in, and it is also a smoke generator made with local methods.
Can explain the problem.
Fang Yi said cheerfully: "To successfully steal art, you don't need to be as high-tech or as dazzling as shown in the movies. If you steal like this, you will most likely go to jail. Don't rob.
I don’t know about it, but it seems that few people have used high-tech in large-scale and successful cases of stealing art, and there are only two principles!”
At this point, Fang Yi stretched out his hand and clenched it into a fist, first stretched out one finger and then another: "The first method is simple and crude, and the second method is to have a little luck! There are these two
That’s enough!”.
"Hey!" Zhang Xu and Li Lin felt a little better after hearing this, and immediately urged Fang Yi to tell the story.
Next, Fang Yi told some of the most famous painting robbery stories he knew:
First, let’s talk about the “Mona Lisa” being stolen in 1911. An Italian put it directly in his coat and walked out of the house in a big bundle.
"What am I talking about? This was all in 1911. Can the current technological level be comparable to that of that time? At that time, they were all a bunch of indigenous people. Even Contra hadn't come out, so it could still be considered a modern society.
?" Li Lin became a little disdainful when he heard that Fang Yi was telling a story in 1911.
"You judge the relationship based on the time of the appearance of "Contra"?" Zhang Xu looked at Li Lin and said happily: "No wonder the boy did so badly in the college entrance examination, but he went to Shicheng Polytechnic instead!".
Now, of course, Li Lin has put aside the matter of going to college. To put it bluntly, Comrade Li Lin has started a small business now and has a little money. Naturally, this little mood is also very good. In the past, things were just
Just saying this will not arouse Mr. Li's sad mood.
"A person who hasn't even obtained a degree certificate has the nerve to say this!" Li Lin glanced at Zhang Xu disdainfully: "I have a degree, and I don't have the same experience as you!".
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand to Fang Yi: "Fang Yi, please continue talking."
"Okay! Then I'll talk about the most recent one." Fang Yi continued talking after hearing this. This time, the one he mentioned was much closer. And it was also the most famous case, which happened in Boston.
In 1990, two robbers pretended to be police officers and stole 13 famous paintings from the Gardner Museum of Art in Boston. The two robbers used the pretext of a nearby riot to open the door of the museum.
The method was also very, very simple. It was so simple that it made people laugh. When there was a fire not far away (I guess the fire had something to do with these two people), the two of them dressed up as policemen and said they wanted to check.
Using the fire-fighting equipment in the museum, the door was easily opened and the security guards were tied up.
Then within the next eighty minutes, the two of them slowly selected the works in the museum, and then took away the selected thirteen pieces.
However, according to later reports, everyone believed that the two criminals did not know much about art, because there were several equally valuable works of art, such as Rembrandt's self-portrait, which had been taken out of the frame.
But in the end, the robbers didn't know why they didn't take it away, but chose other works. If they had taken it away, it might not have been 500 million U.S. dollars, but maybe 700 million U.S. dollars.
In the past twenty years, the American police have no clue about this case. The police and the museum have offered 5 million US dollars. And as long as anyone sends these 13 paintings back, they can get it. The reward is
The implication may be: Even if you robbed it, we are not prepared to pursue it. As long as you send back the thirteen works, you can just take the 5 million and leave!
To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to using US$5 million to buy back the thirteen lost works from the robbers.
It is obvious that the two robbers who do not understand art still know the value of 5 million US dollars and 500 million US dollars. Of course, even if it cannot be sold for 500 million US dollars on the black market, it is not enough for one or two 5 million US dollars.
Sent past.
Or maybe these robbers felt that they had no credibility. On the contrary, there was no whereabouts of any of the paintings. Now these thirteen works still exist like a mystery. To this day, these works have not been returned to the museum.
In 2000, three armed gangsters broke into the National Museum in Stockholm, frightening the tourists and fleeing. They took three masterpieces, including a self-portrait by Rembrandt, and then escaped in a motorboat. This is violence.
It's so direct that it's almost the same as someone who grabs a bag on the street in terms of techniques.
Also in the same year, the portrait of Lucien Freud painted by the late British artist Francis Bacon was stolen from the Neues Nationalgalerie in Berlin in broad daylight.
In 2003, two painting robbers pretended to be tourists, infiltrated among the tourists, captured the tour guide, and left with Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting! This happened in the UK. The cost of the two thieves was 6 pounds.
Tickets!
The whole story made Zhang Xu and Li Lin look a little silly.
Zhang Xu said to Fang Yi: "You all know about these people, and the security company must know it, so why does this happen to you now? Isn't there anyone who wants to be more vigilant?".
Fang Yi smiled bitterly and said: "You can only be a thief for a thousand days, how can you prevent a thief for a thousand days! And with so many people during the day, the security personnel will be relaxed, and with so many people on site, they
Where can I see it?"
Another reason why the works were robbed this time is that there are now more people attending the October Exhibition. There are more people in each area than in each area. And this time, although the public exhibition in Paris is not free, it only charges a symbolic entrance fee of three euros.
There was a queue of more than ten meters at the entrance of the entire exhibition hall, and many of them came with their families.
When there are more people entering the museum and the number of security guards is limited, mistakes naturally occur. And by coincidence, they were caught by the robbers. And everyone in this security company has been working together for four years. From the perspective of mental concentration,
Speaking of which, maybe some of these security guards have relaxed their vigilance a little bit.
"Then do you think your paintings can still be recovered?" Li Lin glanced at the TV screen and asked Fang Yi.
Fang Yi raised his head and glanced at the news on TV that the police had made some progress. He shook his head and said, "There is probably no hope. It's already the fourth day!".
This judgment is not Fang Yijie's, but the information Zou Heming got from a police friend. He said that the case seems to have a detection period, like forty-eight hours or seventy-two hours, which means that in
The possibility of solving the case is greatest within this time range, and beyond this time the case will not have much hope.
"By the way, I said you tell me thoroughly, are you willing to take the painting back or would you rather have it stolen?" Zhang Xu asked Fang Yi with a look on his face as the matter had nothing to do with him.
Fang Yi answered honestly: "It doesn't matter to me whether I come back or not, but Zou Heming really wants to get it back!".
Because the pre-sale price of the work that Fang Yi and Popile competed with has already exceeded 22 million. After the painting came back, Zou Heming was able to get more than 2 million more. Zou Heming like
The money-hungry businessman wouldn't want to let go of this mosquito leg.
Perhaps to confirm Fang Yi's seventy-two-hour statement or something, early the next morning, the insurance company and the French police jointly issued a reward order: Anyone who can provide useful clues can
Rewards range from 10,000 to 20,000 euros, and the reward for providing major clues to help solve the case is 500,000 euros!
Fang Yi looked at this reward order and left France, preparing to leave for Italy, while Zhang Xu and Li Lin continued to follow Fang Yi to Italy. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and more updated.
