"You guessed it right, Professor Yuan would never allow his son to do such a thing as reselling cultural relics." Ye Suling said, "So he chose the seemingly cruelest decision, adhering to professional ethics, but gave up
He killed his wife."
——After that, Qiushi no longer had any illusions or hopes about his father. He had to use his own methods to raise money to save his mother. Of course, the meager working salary alone was completely insufficient, and the remains in the ruins
Every time a cultural relic is unearthed, it will be recorded in detail on the list by Professor Yuan's assistant. Qiushi has no chance to steal it.
However, his mother's condition was deteriorating. After all, the time he could buy through dialysis was limited. The doctor told Qiushi that if the transplant operation could not be performed within one to two months, even if both kidneys were replaced, there would be no way to save the day.
Because all the organs in his body are showing symptoms of failure. To make matters worse, the savings at home can hardly even cover the ICU hospitalization expenses.
Therefore, there is only one choice left for Qiu Shi - since there is no way to take the things away from the excavation pit, it is better to wait for them to be placed in the museum and take advantage of the fact that he is Professor Yuan before the opening day when the security is weakest.
Identify the identities of team members, obtain relevant information about security measures, find loopholes in them, and sneak in to do a big job.
But he only has this chance - after all, as long as he succeeds, the security measures will be doubled, not to mention that he may not be able to escape suspicion. Therefore, even if Yuan Qiushi risks his own life, he must seize this only opportunity.
To steal cultural relics worth enough to allow my mother to undergo surgery, I also need to be able to take action before the police target me.
The most qualified cultural relic was the precious Lingtai Kongming Cauldron, so Qiushi went ahead and secretly contacted sellers who were interested in the Lingtai Kongming Cauldron on the dark web of the cultural relics black market in advance, especially those who were willing to pay a deposit in advance.
And pay in cash immediately after receiving the goods.
Finally, he reached a consensus with a seller with an ID named "OoO". He paid Qiushi a deposit first so that his mother could stay in the ICU for another half month. Qiushi was responsible for the theft, while the other party
Waiting three kilometers away from the ruins museum, contacting him to deliver the goods and paying on the spot - of course, I only found out after investigation.
"Wait a minute, what's the ID of that seller?" Zhang Ke asked hurriedly.
"OoO, three letters O, the middle one is lowercase, and the rest are uppercase." Ye Suling said, "You have also noticed, I told you before, on the day of the opening of the museum, a mysterious person named 'xXx' sent me an email
The text message reminds me that someone may want to steal the treasure. Judging from the name format, the two are almost echoing each other."
"Could it be that...the person who agreed to Yuan Qiushi's purchase of cultural relics and the person who warned you to be careful about cultural relics being stolen are actually the same person?" Zhang Ke felt a little confused, "Why did the other party do such a thing? Didn't he want to get it smoothly?"
Are you going to Lingtai Kongmingding? He even paid the deposit!"
"I also think this is completely incomprehensible, so I have made several conjectures - either we all misunderstood, and there is no relationship between the two people, but they just happened to have IDs and pseudonyms in similar formats," Ye Suling said.
"Although it's not impossible, I still feel that this guess is a bit perfunctory." Zhang Ke shook his head.
"Yeah, I also think this guess is very irresponsible. After all, the timing is so coincidental and the format is so similar." Ye Suling continued, "So my second guess is that the person who sent me the text message was doing a deal with Qiushi.
They are indeed two different people, but they have a hostile relationship with each other."
"Hmm... It's possible. One is X, one is O, one is lowercase on both sides and uppercase in the middle, and one is uppercase on both sides and lowercase in the middle. It does feel like they are completely opposite."
"But what makes this point a little unreasonable is that the person who sent me the text message should be on the side of protecting cultural relics and an invisible helper. But on the day the museum opened, only the treasure stealing gangs
We are competing with each other, but there is no third-party force to help us protect cultural relics, even if it is just sharing some information through mobile phone text messages." Ye Suling said:
"So there is another conjecture that OoO and xXx are indeed the same person, and the purpose is to take away the Lingtai Kongming Cauldron, but from the beginning, he did not expect to use Yuan Qiushi to steal and pay for the transaction on the spot - Yuan Qiushi just
One of his chess pieces, he probably guessed that there would be several treasure stealing gangs targeting this precious cultural relic that day, so after he got the basic security information from Qiushi, he wanted to use us to deal with other people first.
Several teams.”
"...And he profited from it!" Zhang Ke suddenly understood what Ye Suling meant, "This is indeed possible. Compared with other gangs, he has an extra person like Yuan Qiushi who will work hard for him and is not afraid.
The internal agent was discovered, so he can remotely monitor all situations in the museum. He can use you to get rid of other gangs first, and then instruct Yuan Qiushi to assist him in his actions."
"Yes, I think this conjecture may be the most likely, but because most of the relevant information has been automatically deleted by the dark web, and the mobile phone number cannot be traced to anyone, it cannot be further verified," Ye Suling said,
"But on the opening day, there was indeed a time lag in the order in which the treasure-stealing teams appeared, and Qiushi also disappeared in the middle, as if he was being manipulated by someone to run around."
"By the way, I was just about to ask you, what happened to Yuan Qiushi after the opening of the museum that made him look like this?" Zhang Ke asked hurriedly.
"That's right, because all the cultural relics and exhibits will not be put into the museum until the day before it opens. They were previously stored in the professional security vault of the Great Wall Group. Qiushi had no chance to take action. So he had to transport things.
Only after entering can you have the opportunity to steal the Lingtai Cauldron——"
As members of Professor Yuan's team who participated in the excavation of the ruins and the preparation for the construction of the museum, we students had the right to enter and exit the museum decoration site at will, and no one would suspect that we had other intentions. Therefore, Qiushi was at the museum during those days.
Go in and out and talk to the staff to collect information.
Finally, he discovered that there was a glass window on the south side of the central hall that was made of snap-lock type and was not completely sealed. It was said that for fire safety reasons, an extra exit was left to escape the museum. But that window was usually decorated on the outside.
It's exactly the same as other windows. I'm not a professional, so I can't see a hidden buckle on the window frame.
And this became the breakthrough point of Qiushi's operation. Before everyone dispersed on the eve of the opening of the restaurant, he secretly removed the hidden button so that he could sneak in directly from the outside at dawn the next day - and he called
Professor Yuan was sent away to take care of the maintenance of cultural relics. He secretly opened his laptop and found a crucial document.
That was the electronic lock code for various precious cultural relic storage cabinets in the entire exhibition hall, including of course the Lingtai Kongming Cauldron. To be on the safe side, Qiushi copied down several of the codes, just in case he couldn't get them.
