Chapter 486 Theft, visiting the Qin family

It's quiet at night.

The art museum has long been closed, and there are only four security guards patrolling regularly.

A figure strode up the steps.

Wear a black hooded sweatshirt with loose trousers, a hood over your head, and a black mask to cover your face, hiding almost all your features.

All that can be seen is the strong tendons holding up the clothes.

Without any fancy skills, he broke the door glass with one punch and walked in through the door frame that was covered with broken glass.

After taking two steps, a sharp siren broke the silence of the art gallery.

This person's methods were crude and simple, including breaking doors and windows.

After entering the art museum, go straight to a small exhibition hall on the second floor.

In the dark exhibition hall, the painting could not be seen.

"Damn, it's really evil..."

The thief shined his flashlight on the painting, and when he saw the painting for the first time, he felt like he was looking at someone.

He was agitated and couldn't help muttering.

Then he quickly took off the picture frame, turned around and left without hesitation, and quickly went downstairs.

As for the security guards who arrived, they wanted to stop him. The moment they rushed forward, they were knocked to the ground by the mighty and thundering figure.

When he got up again, the figure was already near the gate, moving at an alarming speed.

…

"Xiaofan, what's wrong, that hell dog was stolen!"

Late at night, Zhang Yao's call woke up Ye Xiaofan.

I'm staying in the guest room of my girlfriend's house tonight.

"How could it be stolen? Donghai City Art Museum is not a third-rate small supermarket."

Ye Xiaofan frowned slightly, his mood fluctuated for a moment, but soon subsided.

He didn't pay much attention to painting, it was just something external to him.

Of course, it doesn't mean that you just let others steal it and ignore it.

"This...well, the protection level of the ordinary areas of the art museum is not that high.

“The art exhibition exhibits some excellent works, but they are not masterpieces.

“There has never been any theft of works exhibited at art exhibitions in previous Donghai Art Exhibitions.”

Zhang Yao sighed, feeling extremely irritable.

"I just talked about the situation with the curator. The man was brutal and it only took one minute from breaking in to taking away the painting!

"Perhaps robbery is more appropriate.

"When he left, the police car was still on the road..."

"Oh?" Ye Xiaofan raised his eyebrows, "It sounds like this person is very skilled."

"Yes, the four security guards didn't even touch the corner of his clothes, and one of them was hit so hard that his hand bone was broken.

“However, I wonder if the museum is covering up employee negligence and deliberately exaggerating.

"Not to mention the little thief's skills, even if he is that strong, how dare a sneaky person be so arrogant these days.

"Even the last time the Four Seasons Gallery was stolen, the wanted criminal had to sneak around and avoid being seen.

"Let's go take a look at the surveillance system tomorrow morning."

Zhang Yao expressed her guess, not trusting the curator's words.

"Then go take a look tomorrow morning and prepare a copy of the surveillance video to send to me."

Ye Xiaofan did not mention going to the Qin family to visit Qin Fengshi.

Zhang Yao just thought Ye Xiaofan was lazy and didn't want to take it seriously.

…

The next day, Ye Xiaofan had breakfast.

Only then did I mention the theft of my work to her.

"Ah?!" Bai Linger's reaction was much more intense than Ye Xiaofan's, and she immediately jumped up, "How could someone steal your paintings! What do the museum security guards do for a living!"

It’s not that I underestimate the value of the work.

But there are many things of higher value than this.

Jewelry, jade and antiques, calligraphy and paintings by famous artists...

For money, this sketch would not rank at all.

"Who knows, maybe he is interested in the painting itself.

"Oh, I'm really interested. Talk to me. Maybe I'll sell it for three to five million."

Ye Xiaofan couldn't understand and chuckled: "I guess he is an elegant thief who is not very well-off."

"You can still laugh..."

"There are many people who are more anxious than me, such as art museums and art associations...

"Let them investigate first. We are not detectives, so there is no point in rushing."

Ye Xiaofan said.

"That's what I said..."

Bai Ling'er frowned and made up her mind, "You go to visit Mr. Qin and don't break the appointment. I'll go find Zhang Yao. If we don't take it seriously, they won't take it seriously."

Originally we planned to go to Qin's house together.

Now that this incident has happened, she doesn't plan to go.

After all, the old man wants to see his boyfriend.

I just happened to take a trip to help, check on the situation, and supervise.

"That's okay." Ye Xiaofan nodded and patted her back, "Don't be anxious, don't be angry."

"You...why do you feel like my painting has been stolen?"

Bai Ling'er cast an angry glance at Ye Xiaofan.

The two of them went out.

Ye Xiaofan sent her to the Four Seasons Gallery, chatted with Zhang Yao for a few words, and then went to Qin's house.

The address given by Qin Lanzhi is located in a group of villas on the outskirts of Donghai.

After more than forty minutes, Ye Xiaofan drove into a beautiful hill behind the villa complex.

Located on the mountainside, it is the only villa with a courtyard.

The villa is not luxurious, with a courtyard of about a hundred square meters and some exotic flowers and potted plants placed on both sides of the cobblestone path.

Farther away are two three-story Chinese-style lofts.

The whole place is elegant, quiet and unique.

Qin Lanzhi quickly came out with a servant and opened the door to greet her.

The vehicle was parked in a corner of the yard.

"I heard that the art museum was stolen and your paintings were stolen..." Qin Lanzhi talked about this matter eagerly.

She originally thought she might have to change the time.

Ye Xiaofan shrugged and chuckled: "Well, I also find it quite strange. There are so many exhibits, but my painting is the only one missing."

"Well, I have to say that that person has a unique vision. Even the works of three or five masters in the exhibition are actually very average.

"He chose this painting because he must have seen how extraordinary it is. He likes you or is a fan of your painting..."

"Maybe."

"Don't worry, I will contact my friends and try to get your painting back as soon as possible."

Qin Lanzhi is willing to help find connections.

These days, if you lose a bicycle or wallet without friends, you may not be able to get it back.

The value of this sketch is not recognized by the market, and Ye Xiaofan is not a well-known painter.
