Chapter 179 Invitation
Soon, Rhett and Raven made new discoveries in the museum.
Only two things that were lost in the museum were recovered, but these two things are no longer exhibited, but replaced with other things in their original positions.
Raven and Rhett stood in front of the original exhibition stand where the first lost porcelain was.
They intend to imitate the way thieves steal.
In fact, many of the movies are fake.
The real way of thieves is nothing more than diverting attention and hacking the camera, and then taking things with their hands-even in many cases, they don’t even need to hack the camera, because they don’t need to hack that, as long as they can take things and then be safe You can get away by leaving - because they don't show their faces at all.
Therefore, whether it is Raven or Rhett, the two of them don't need to think too high-end.
Standing here, this position happens to be in a blind spot of the camera, no matter how the camera turns, they can’t see it, so they only need to know which method the other party used to take it away... That's right... They now have a Melinda also has an "Antique Protector"...and then?
Although Raven also believes that the antiques should be returned to the peoples who made them instead of letting them go overseas-because most of the antiques are robbed and stolen and then changed hands, and the current owners have spent a lot of money. The price is high, but the ones you buy are definitely black goods.
But the fact is that the age cannot be traced, and those who bought illegal goods can't afford to suffer, so things continued like this little by little.
However, he believes that if someone is willing to donate, or the country is willing to repurchase or... whatever the method is, as long as it is legal and reasonable, he is actually happy to see it. You know, a place like the United States has a short history of 300 years. , It is really not easy to find something with a real sense of accumulation in the museum.
Unless they count slavery as well.
Raven shook his head, otherwise, how did they count the massacre of Indians?
Of course, the Declaration of Independence and the Civil War are remarkable.
Sighing, he went around here again and again, and finally, he determined the truth of the matter.
And this made him have to go back to the portrait of the Sun King.
The portrait of the Sun King looks normal, and it is placed very securely, even to avoid the sun, it has been installed with a sun protection roof.
And that note was found on the portrait.
So, who can get in without being noticed and leave a note?
Rhett followed him and walked over. They stood directly opposite the Sun King and looked at this painting... This is a work from a long time ago, and it should have a sense of history... So, who would be so fearless? Put a note on it?
Raven frowned—tracking was his talent, of course he could use it, and Rhett was amazing when he analyzed the cause and development of the incident.
So, here comes the problem.
Because Raven found that on the back of a table near the exhibit, he found half of the footprints—or, in other words, a third of them.
In fact, these exhibits should not be too close even when they are being cleaned. They need to be carefully cared for. Therefore, professional conservationists came into being. However, the BAUs have checked and there is no maintenance demand recently, but according to Rui Wen judged that this footprint existed for no more than half a month.
Possibly even shorter.
Therefore, this footprint probably belonged to the unknown suspect.
And if the unknown suspect's footprints remained here, then he should be a man wearing size ten shoes, about six feet tall, and weighing no more than 160 pounds.
On top of that, he was also wearing a pair of shoes that were exactly the same as the footprints on the top floor.
Old shoes, with some inexplicable dust.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that the museum’s cleaners don’t work. In fact, even if they work, they can’t take a rag and step inside the guardrail to wipe the floor vigorously—because they need to add detergent to the water to keep the floor clean. , and even if these things are volatile, they will kill some exhibits.
So, thanks to the cleaning staff, they could only clean and then wipe the ground inside with clean water, which gave Raven an opportunity to find this footprint.
He took pictures of the footprints with his mobile phone.
"It seems that there are really omissions." Reid walked over and watched him work, "So I don't know who is guarding and stealing?"
"One person, two people, more people—everyone?" Raven laughed, "Okay, Spencer, let's go, it seems it's time to talk to Mr. Getty again. "
Indeed, Lester Getty is still sitting in his office, staring at his computer, bewildered.
When two young FBI men knocked on the door and came in, he looked a little sluggish, as if he felt that the Sun King of the museum must be stolen.
"Mr. Getty?" Rhett walked over, "Hello."
"Hello." Lester sighed, resting his hands on his chin. "I don't know if I compromise and give money to those thieves, will they let me go."
"I advise you not to." Rhett said, "Thieves and robbers will never be satisfied. Once their greed is satisfied, there will be a second and third time, and you can't satisfy them forever."
"But I have no other choice. For several years, since I took over, this place has become a criminal paradise!" He rolled his eyes mockingly, "When my mother was here, no one would dare to steal a nail here !nobody!"
Indeed, while Jennifer Getty was here, nothing was ever lost.
But she was already over ninety when she died, and even Lester Getty was in his sixties, and now it feels like his hairline is shorter than the ID photo because of the museum. Much later.
Poor man.
Rhett could only pray for this guy in his heart, but he didn't show the slightest sympathy—you know, a man's hairline and penis are the same as a woman's weight and chest. They are always painful and cannot be poked.
What's more, when they came here, what they needed to ask was something related to this case.
Raven asked: "Mr. Getty, I would like to ask, are all the staff in your museum dressed uniformly?"
"Of course. I even outfitted them with gloves, shoes...socks—it's a museum, you know! If they don't dress right...I think it's an insult to these babes, honestly, I That's what I thought!"
In other words, in the entire museum, everyone's shoes are the same.
While this broadens the scope, it also narrows it, to some degree.
Raven looked at Rhett, who nodded and asked, "Then, besides you, who else knows that the museum's uniform is so uniform?"
"That's a lot." Lester laughed. "Almost everyone knows it. I mean... the museum people, and... my family, my family knows this too, my Assistant, and... my girlfriend?" He thought for a while, "But it can't be her, she's my new girlfriend, we've only dated for less than two months."
Tell the other party these things within two months of dating?
Rhett could only ask, "What about your ex-girlfriend? Or... your ex-wife?"
"I don't have an ex-girlfriend, I'm bisexual, only an ex-boyfriend, but he died, died in Iraq, so I decided to find someone who wasn't so...heroic, so I picked a girl, and she was amazing , won't go to Iraq or anywhere else." Lester said it too lightly.
But this does not mean that his girlfriend is free from suspicion.
Rhett asked Garcia to check all the staff of the Getty Center, including Lester's girlfriend and ex-boyfriend, maybe...the thieves appeared here.
However, before Garcia could finish his investigation, Rossi's voice came in, saying, "Red, ask Mr. Getty if he knows someone named Melinda."
When Melinda's name was called, Lester Getty jumped almost as if burned to the ass.He looked embarrassed, but shook his head: "No...impossible, you shouldn't know about Melinda, and...it can't be about Melinda—Melinda...Melinda is dead 50 years!"
Immediately afterwards, he told Melinda's story.
Melinda was originally just an interpreter at the Getty Center, however, she was young, beautiful, gentle and lovely, so under the strength of Jennifer Getty, Andrew Gilson fell in love with Melinda deeply .
At that time, Jennifer also had an extramarital lover, but she didn't intend to elope with him, but Andrew had already planned to elope with Melinda, they brought nothing but an engagement ring, and planned to escape from here, but...then It was a turbulent time, and it was an insecure time - especially when Jennifer found out that her weak husband was going to run off with an even weaker woman, she laid hands on them, and let people destroy Mei Lin Da's appearance broke her legs and threw her into the street to beg.
At that time, even Lester liked Melinda.He saw his mother Jennifer having an affair with his own eyes, and the matter of his father's elopement was even more acceptable to him than maintaining a false marriage while having an affair—so he silently supported Jennifer, hoping that she would not be overwhelmed.
But when his actions were discovered, his name was removed from Jennifer's will and not added back until 40 years later.
As for Melinda, she couldn't hold on for long in the end, and she died.
It was a victory for Jennifer, but a loss for Gilson.
What Jennifer needs is a marriage on the surface, and Gilson's marriage to her is nothing more than a family marriage.
"This is Melinda's story, which is more exciting than the movie." After Lester finished speaking, he could only sigh, "We didn't contact Melinda's family at the time, and we couldn't find her family, but... I I've always wanted to find them, say sorry to them... make amends... anything!"
"So, what's Melinda's last name?" Rhett asked him.
"Orff? Orff." Lester hesitated, and finally answered with a surname.
Soon, Garcia's comparison came out: "Oh my god... my god guys, Orff—you know Justin Vincent, his mother's last name is Orff, and her name is... ...it's Melinda Orff!"
Justin Vincent, a circuit engineer at the Getty Center, is not yet 25 years old. How could he be Melinda's son?
Or... another Melinda?
"Looks like we need to talk to another Melinda," Rossi said.
However, Rhett planned for Rosie: "Rosie, don't go to her yet, we... I don't think things are that simple."
He walked up and down Lester's office, trying to find a good angle of view.After walking for about 3 minutes, he finally found where he should be: "Ruiwen, come and see this!"
Raven walked over and looked out from where he was standing. What he was seeing was a beautiful red gemstone, and the surface of the gemstone reflected an even more beautiful crown.
