Picking up Leaks in live broadcast: There are Treasures Everywhere in my Eyes - Chapter 616
Chapter 618
“McCann, since you have admitted that this painting that you have hidden is the olive tree near Estaque” by the master artist Braque
” “Does that mean that you and Miles were the masterminds behind the 2010 hire to ransack the Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris?”
Frank asked eagerly, his tone almost flying with excitement.
As soon as the words fell, Peggy immediately asked
, “McCann, where are the other four top works of art that you ransacked at the same time?”
“Are they also in the gallery? Picasso’s The Dove and the Pea, Matisse’s Pastoral, Modigliani’s The Woman with the Fan
” and “Still Life and the Chandelier by Léger are all priceless works of art!”
McCann didn’t pay attention to these guys, but stared at Xiao Ran, who was still wiping the paintings, with blood-red eyes.
At this time, he couldn’t directly pounce on it, completely tear Xiao Ran to pieces, and eat it in one bite!
The next moment, the guy gritted his teeth and asked
, “Sean, there is one thing I don’t quite understand, how did you discover this secret?”
“All of this, I thought I did seamlessly, and could never be discovered by anyone
” “In the past few decades, no one has been able to discover this secret, until today!”
With his words, everyone at the scene looked at Xiao Ran, and everyone’s eyes were full of curiosity, and even felt incredible!
As McCann puts it, this technique of hiding paintings is so clever that it is almost impossible to be discovered.
Sean, the magical guy, saw through the secret at a glance.
And he also personally prepared this magic potion, which brought a huge surprise to everyone!
All of this is amazing!
Looking at Xiao Ran again, he had stopped the movement of his hand and turned his head to look over.
He glanced at McCann, and then sneered and said:
“The person who taught you this technique does not seem to tell you some flaws in this
technique”, “This technique of forging and hiding paintings, the special pigments used in it, some things that are only used in Chinese paintings
” “When you use those materials, you don’t know the characteristics of those things, but people who have a deep study of Chinese painting can see a hint!”
“Coincidentally, I am somewhat an expert in the appraisal of Chinese paintings and calligraphy
” “Ah! So it is!
McCann exclaimed, and the whole person became even more frustrated.
Peggy and Frank, who were also at the scene, listened with relish, and their eyes lit up.
After a pause, Xiao Ran continued:
“Before I came to your gallery, when I first saw this painting, I found that this painting was somewhat special
” “Later, when I went to the exhibition area on the second floor, I saw the rest of your works, as well as the paint in the painting room, I understood that these paintings have problems, and there must be some secret hidden behind them!”
“Very lucky, I know many of the top Chinese painting and calligraphy appraisal experts, and several of them have some understanding of this technique” ”
After consulting with those top experts in painting and calligraphy, I basically affirmed my judgment!”
“Fak!”
McCann cursed in frustration, and the remorse was dying.
I already knew that this was the ending, and he would not let Xiao Ran go to the second floor in the first place.
But how did he know that Xiao Ran was actually sure when he didn’t enter the gallery.
McCann was the target he was looking for, one of two art thieves who ransacked the Gardner Museum 30 years ago.
Later, everything Xiao Ran did was just to find a reasonable explanation.
Fortunately, through those old men in China, he really found the best way to break the game.
In addition, he found out more.
Looking at the frustrated McCann, Xiao Ran’s eyes couldn’t help but flash a trace of killing intent.
“One more thing, the Chinese painter who died in Boston more than 30 years ago should be the one who taught you this technique, right?”
“You learned this technique, but you killed the Chinese painter, but you didn’t expect that his family still has people in China!”
“The reason why I was able to completely see through and crack your blind methods was taught to me by the nephew of the Chinese painter!”
“And the old man also told me that I must help them avenge and find out who killed his uncle
” “If I’m not mistaken, that person should be you, right?” Now what else do you have to say? This is retribution!”
When the words fell, McCann was suddenly silent and did not say a word.
However, his dodging eyes are enough to say it all.
Looking at Frank and Timothy, they were completely dumbfounded.
At this moment, Xiao Ran suddenly said again:
“Gentlemen, I will completely clean up this Braque’s “The Olive Tree Near Estac
” as evidence”, “Other paintings in this gallery, as well as other antique artworks, my staff will thoroughly count and register
them” “Then transport all these antique artworks to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and then screen them one by one when the search operation is completed”
“Judging from the current situation, this gallery should hide a lot of stolen top antique art, the amount and value are quite amazing,”
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
Peggy, however, disputed.
“Sean, can you find out as soon as possible those top works of art that have been looted in our museum, even if you
find one” “Those treasures have disappeared for 30 years, we are really afraid that those treasures will be sold or completely destroyed
” “As long as we can find one of them, we can also relax and wait for the rest of the treasures to be cleaned up”
Xiao Ran looked at the old friend, and then turned to look at McCann.
But at this time, McCann had fallen into endless despair.
This guy kept talking in his mouth to find his own lawyer.
Obviously, he won’t say anything until his lawyer arrives.
Seeing this situation, everyone was helpless.
In order to avoid getting into trouble, Frank had to ask his agents to call McCann’s lawyer and ask the other party to come here.
Xiao Ran fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he said:
“Okay, Peggy, I’ll try to find the top art that has been ransacked in your museum
” “But now I can only give you a chance, if you can’t find it immediately, you can only talk later
” “In several other capture sites, there are still many things to do, especially Miles’ piano shop, to be thoroughly searched,……
McCann’s face suddenly changed and became even paler.
Seeing his performance, everyone still does not understand.
There is no doubt that there must be some great secrets hidden in Miles’ piano shop.
The next moment, Peggy immediately nodded.
“Okay, Sean, I know the priorities, I just want to ask for peace of mind”
Xiao Ran nodded, and then continued to clean up the painting in his hand.
Meanwhile, Nick, along with several company employees, as well as some Philadelphia Museum of Art, began to inventory the gallery.
Whether it is various paintings or other antique artworks, it is included in the inventory.
Everything else, also counted, will be registered.
After a while, Xiao Ran had completely cleaned up this Braque’s masterpiece, “The Olive Tree Near Estac”.
Looking at this top artwork that was looted in Paris, France 10 years ago, but now magically appeared in Philadelphia, USA, and saw the sky again, everyone was dumbfounded and excited!
While Xiao Ran was cleaning up this top piece of art, Peggy and Timothy had completed their initial identification.
There is no doubt about the authenticity of this top artwork.
Needless to say, this is one of the masterpieces of the cubist master Braque, such as fake bagging!
During the appreciation, Philadelphia Police Chief Scott, who knew nothing about cubist art, suddenly asked in a low voice:
“Sean, can you introduce how much this so-called cubist painting is worth?” I really want to know about it”
Hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately turned his head to look at this guy.
After a little hesitation, he smiled and said:
“In the Cubist school, Braque is one of the masters of art on a par with Picasso, and his artistic achievements are extremely high
” “His paintings are in good market, this is one of Braque’s masterpieces, the market value should be around $40 million
No surprise, Scott and some other guys who don’t understand the market, are shocked by this valuation!”
“Ah! Such a painting, I don’t know the so-called, is actually worth 40 million US dollars, I heard correctly?
Scott exclaimed, his eyes instantly red.
The rest of the guys who don’t understand the market behave the same.
Peggy and them, who knew the painting, all smiled and nodded.
Then Timothy suddenly said,
“Where is this!” Several other paintings stolen at the same time, three of which cost more than this painting
” “Picasso’s “Dove and Pea”, Matisse’s “Pastoral”, and Modigliani’s “The Woman with the Fan” are now worth more than $100
million” “Even Lage’s “Still Life and Chandelier” is valued at about $20 million”
With his introduction, the exclamation at the scene suddenly became louder!
Everyone looked at Xiao Ran’s eyes, all full of envy and jealousy.
For no other reason, these top works of art will surely bring him great benefits!
“Still Life and Chandelier”
by Léger
