treasure hunt god pupil

Li Mo looked at his phone, it was out of battery.He looked in the direction outside the castle again, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, then turned and walked into the hall.

"Mr. Li, have you explained everything?"

"The expert team will come over tomorrow. At that time, I will let the people from the embassy connect with the person in charge of your museum. I will not get involved in that matter, it is too cumbersome."

Li Mo picked up the coffee cup, took a sip and said with a smile, "This coffee smells very refreshing, but it's very bitter when you drink it, making it hard to swallow."

Juliet took a bottle of water and put it on his table, "I know you're not used to it."

"Mr. Philip, is your castle safe?"

Philip 25's eyes were fixed: "Why did Mr. Li suddenly ask this question?"

"Oh, when I went out to make a call just now, I sensed a sniper rifle locked on the water tower opposite the old castle. I thought the other party would shoot me, but no, so I took the liberty to ask In a word, if it’s not the sniper you arranged, it’s best to send someone to take a look.”

Old man Philip's face changed abruptly, and his aristocratic temperament disappeared in an instant, as if he had turned into a high-ranking, life-and-death person in power in a blink of an eye.Juliet's face was also extremely ugly. She nodded to the butler, and the middle-aged man walked up to the second floor with a sullen expression.

Li Mo drank a few sips of mineral water, and said unhurriedly: "It seems that the other party's ultimate goal is those two holy objects."

The living room fell into a momentary awkward atmosphere. After a while, the housekeeper returned to the living room and said respectfully, "Master, the killer has been caught."

"Clean up."

"Yes, Master."

Li Mo glanced at this old man with aristocratic temperament, grabbed the killer and dealt with it without asking, which shows that he already knew it in his heart.

"Mr. Li, I made you laugh. Half of my body has been buried in the ground. I don't know how many times I have encountered this situation. Let's not talk about this, let's talk about something that interests you. Mr. Li is the top appraiser in China. I don’t know if there is a deep research on European and American artworks?”

"Mr Philip wants to hear the truth?"

"If you'd like to reveal it."

Li Mo smiled lightly and said, "Actually, I haven't studied European and American artworks, but I know that every top-level artwork is priceless. Mr. Philip wants to invite me to appreciate the artworks in the next collection?"

"Someone will send some oil paintings in a moment, and Mr. Li can enjoy the works of the world's top masters together."

"Very happy to!"

Next, Juliet and Li Mo were mainly chatting. About ten minutes later, three black bulletproof commercial vehicles and a medium-sized truck drove into the castle.There were also two cars parked in the square outside, and five men and women in black business attire and white gloves walked out from inside.

"Mr. Li, the oil painting artwork has arrived. Please sit down for a while, and I will come as soon as I go."

Juliet saluted gracefully, then walked out gracefully, chatting with two middle-aged men and women, turning around and pointing to the living room from time to time.

Li Mo looked at those professionals with great interest. They should be art dealers in Europe, who specialize in serving the super rich.

The two middle-aged men and women looked somewhat similar to Juliet, but old Philip didn't seem to give them a good look, and Juliet didn't introduce them, so Li Mo just responded to their smiles with a smile.

Because they were wearing simultaneous translation headphones, Li Mo could understand their conversation.This time I brought a total of six oil paintings, some horizontal and some vertical, all wrapped in white silk for protection, and of course there are other protective layers inside.

"Mr. Philip, after years of secret inquiries, we have obtained six oil paintings, all of which have been identified by our experts as authentic."

A Fa Chinese man in his 50s gestured behind him, and saw two staff members open the first oil painting first.

"Mr. Philip, this first painting is Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece "The Virgin Mary and Arne Wind". Judging from the picture, in front of the jagged blue mountains, the Virgin Mary is sitting peacefully. , the Holy Child on the lap is holding a wooden spool, and the picture shows the scene of the young Jesus and the Virgin together, implying that neither the Virgin nor the world can change the fate of Jesus’ future crucifixion.”

This world-class famous painting is as famous as another da Vinci's "Mona Lisa Smile". It was later stolen, and then the thief was caught and the masterpiece was recovered. . .

Of course, this is official news. In fact, the authentic painting is in the hands of Li Mo, and it will be displayed after the European-style museum is completed, so this painting does not need to be authenticated to know that it is a fake.

But old man Philip didn't know that, after all, he was the king of underground forces in the West, even if this painting was indeed the stolen masterpiece, he still had the confidence to buy it.

And he wouldn't suspect that someone would dare to band together to deceive him.

The first piece of art is the big thunderstorm. Li Mo got up quietly and admired it with old Philip.For this young oriental face, several traders present looked at each other, as if they were a little familiar.

Old man Philip is also very skilled in the study of artworks. He held a magnifying glass and looked at it slowly for a while, then took a few big steps back, with a satisfied look on his face.

"How much is the bid?"

"The seller offered $3000 million."

"Okay, stay."

The successful transaction of the first one made several traders overjoyed.

Li Mo also learned about the market after he got the masterpiece. Although this oil painting is as famous as "Mona Lisa's Smile", the market valuation is very different.Of course, there are many factors. The most important factor is that the latter is displayed in museums all year round. It is so famous all over the world. Many professional people value it at a maximum of 35 billion dollars. Of course, it doesn’t matter. No matter how much it is worth, the museum will never sell it, so this estimate is a bit exaggerated.

The work of "The Virgin Mary and Arne Wind" is a private collection, and it has been treasured by the original owner's family for more than two hundred years before it was stolen. After the theft, it was valued at US$[-] million.

If the painting in front of me is genuine, considering the dark factors, the buyer’s asking price of 3000 million US dollars is really not much, and old man Philip has picked up a big deal.

"Mr. Philip, the second is Munch's masterpiece "The Scream". Munch once described the inspiration for this painting: I went for a walk with my friends, and when the sun was about to set, suddenly the sky changed It was as red as blood, and a burst of sadness welled up in my heart. The dark blue bay and the city were a space of blood and fire. Friends moved forward one after another, and I stood there alone, suddenly feeling indescribable terror and trembling, as if in nature There was a cry that shook the universe."

Listening to his description, Li Mo frowned slightly. Perhaps Munch was melancholy and terrified when he created this painting.So the lines used in his painting are also distorted.

He was speechless, and the real second oil painting was also in his hands.Don't these art dealers know that this is a fake and that others have fooled them?

"Very good. There are four editions of The Scream. This is Munch's third edition. What is the price?"

"The current market valuation is 1.2 million US dollars, and the buyer is asking for 5000 million US dollars."

"Okay, stay."

Li Mo saw that two paintings in a row were fakes, and before the rest of the oil paintings were uncovered, he immediately lost interest after scanning them with different eyes.He sat back on the sofa and drank water slowly. If he hadn't had some details to communicate with old man Philip, he would have left right now.
