There are thirteen paintings, eight oil paintings and five sketches in total.
These paintings are all spread out on the big bed in the hotel room, because they can't fit. Several unfolded paintings are also placed on the tables and chairs in this room.
Among all the oil paintings spread out on the big bed, the picture in the middle directly made Lin Dan's eyes no longer move.
"Well... God, don't tell me that this painting is that painting!" lindane was at a loss and even spoke incoherently.
Yang Jing nodded with a smile and said, "if I am not mistaken, this painting should be that painting!"
"Wow..." Lin Dan screamed and almost jumped on him, but he stubbornly stopped by the bed.
"Brother Yang, can I, can I touch her?"
"Yes, but you'd better put on your gloves first. You know, the value of this painting is now at least more than $300 million!"
It was an oil painting. In a slightly dark room, a man was sitting with his back to the front. On the left and right sides of the man, there were two girls. The girl on the left was playing the piano and the girl on the right was standing. It seemed that he was talking to the man.
Lin Dan hesitated, then shook his head and said, "forget it, I still don't touch it. My little heart is fluttering. I'm afraid I'll touch her..."
Yang Jing smiled and said nothing.
In fact, Yang Jing was startled when he first saw these paintings, and even he was at a loss when he identified them with the holy ring.
Up to now, only Yang Jing and lindane know about these paintings. Even Chris Barton and John Bruno don't know. As soon as they return to the room, Yang Jing let them rest, and don't come to him if you have nothing to do.
The two bodyguards naturally knew why. They consciously didn't come to Yang Jing.
It's not Yang Jingxin, but these two bodyguards are really too involved in these thirteen paintings.
Without him, these thirteen paintings are stolen! And it is also the stolen goods of what is known as "the biggest theft in American history".
On March 17, 1990, it was the biggest Carnival in Boston, the St. Patrick's Carnival.
March 17 of each year is St. Patrick's day in the west, also known as "green hat day". This festival originated in Ireland at the end of the 5th century. In 1737, some Irish gentlemen and businessmen gathered in Boston, Massachusetts to commemorate St. Patrick and established the Irish Charity Society. Since then, the United States has celebrated this festival every year. On St. Patrick's day in the United States, people usually hold processions, church services and dinners.
On this day, Boston also fell into a carnival.
But none of these revelers found it. Just next to the famous Isabella Stewart Gardner Art Museum in Boston, two sneaky figures were sitting in a red dodge daytonane, waiting for the revelers to finally disperse.
Soon after midnight, the revelry of Boston citizens dispersed slowly, and then at about 1 a.m., two guys in police uniforms came down from the Dodge Daytona.
The two guys in police uniforms pressed the alarm at the entrance of the museum and told the security personnel that they heard a strange noise in the park and needed to enter the museum for inspection.
The museum's security personnel understand that uninvited guests should not be allowed into the museum late at night, but they don't know whether this rule is effective for the police. So security guard Abbott decided to open the door. After opening the door, the "police" suddenly said that he looked familiar, like a wanted man, so he was asked to show his ID. The police ordered him to face the wall and handcuffed him.
Abbott thought it must be a misunderstanding. Later, he reacted that the two "policemen" didn't search him before handcuffing him. In addition, he found that the beard of one of the policemen seemed to be made of wax
That night, there were only two security guards in the museum. After another security guard came, he was handcuffed by two "policemen". When they asked the police why they were arrested, the police were honest:
"You're not under arrest. We're just here to rob."
So the two security guards were taken to the basement of the museum.
Eighty one minutes later, the two disguised policemen walked into several exhibition halls, calmly and leisurely took down the famous paintings hanging on the wall one by one, and then selectively robbed up to 13 famous paintings.
Among them are five sketches by Edgar Degas, a representative figure of French impressionism; It is also the "a French gentleman" by Edward MANET, a representative figure of French impressionism; Rembrandt halmanson van lein, a Dutch painting master in the 17th century, wrote the storm on the sea of Galilee and the portraits of men and women in a black background, as well as a self portrait of Rembrandt. Among them, the storm on the sea of Galilee is the only sea view painting known by Rembrandt.
In addition, the three works of Peter Paul rusburn, a famous Flemish painter in the 17th century in the Netherlands and a representative of the early Baroque school, were also stolen by these two thieves.
Among the 13 lost paintings, the most precious is the concert, the masterpiece of Johannes Vermeer, a famous dutch painter in the 17th century. Among the only 34 paintings left by Vermeer, this painting is definitely the most valuable one. Some say it is worth 200 million US dollars, others say it is worth as much as 250 million US dollars. Anyway, this concert is definitely the painting with the highest stolen value in history.
In that joke like "robbery", a total of 13 famous paintings were stolen. According to the estimated price given by later generations, the value of these 13 famous paintings was as high as $500 million!
The two bold robbers did not use any offensive weapons and took the video tape from the monitor before leaving. Since there was no alarm connected to the police station on the back of these paintings, the two robbers had already fled by dawn.
But before the two guys left, they went to the basement and said to the two security guards, "you'll see us again in a year."
But they never showed up again.
Yes, it has been more than 27 years and eight months since 1990. Let alone the two robbers, even the 13 lost famous paintings have never been found.
The FBI in the United States has been inquiring about this case for 20 years, but it has never heard from anyone.
The stolen Gardner Art Museum even offered a reward of $10 million, which turned out to be nothing.
Everyone thought that these 13 famous paintings would never come out again, but now they appear in the room of the hotel where Yang Jing lives
In fact, Yang Jing didn't know about the famous theft case before. After all, the case took place in Boston, USA, and it has been a long time since. At the time of the case, Yang Jing was not even born.
However, when he identified the 13 paintings with the holy ring, he immediately checked the 13 famous paintings on the Internet and got a painful result.
As for lindane, although he is a Chinese American, he is an American born and raised in the United States. Especially Vermeer's concert is so famous. He has seen the picture of this famous painting several times. Of course, he has also heard of the case that happened that year. Therefore, when he first saw the painting, he recognized the origin of the painting at a glance.
Of course, only one "concert" almost made Lin Dan lose his soul, and when he saw the remaining 12 works, he came back to life
"Brother Yang, don't tell me that these 13 works are hidden in the warehouse I took today."
Yang Jing shrugged her shoulders and said, "where do you think these thirteen paintings came from? Did they fly with their own wings? Or did they fall from the sky? Yes, brother, these thirteen paintings were found in that warehouse..."
Lin Dan touched his head. "Brother Yang, what shall we do with these paintings?"
Yang Jing said with a wry smile, "what do you say to deal with it? I'm worried about it."
After a pause, Yang Jing asked Lin Dan, "these thirteen paintings are stolen goods. It is certain that I didn't steal them, but now they are in my hand. You say, if the FBI knows, will they go back?"
Lin Dan also smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not very clear when you ask me, but it involves the legal provisions on 'bona fide acquisition' stipulated in the United States unified commercial code As far as I know, if the stolen goods of deception or fraud are obtained in good faith, the police have no right to recover the things obtained in good faith. For example, the thirteen paintings were not stolen, but obtained through fraud or fraud. As a result, I have obtained them in good faith, so the police have no right to go back However, these 13 paintings were not obtained through fraud and fraud, but stolen goods. Although I have obtained them in good faith, I do not know whether these stolen goods are protected by the unified commercial code. "
Lin Dan said so, but Yang Jing understood a little. The laws of the United States are different from those of China, especially the provisions on being good at obtaining stolen goods.
In the Chinese legal provisions, as long as it is stolen goods, whether you obtain them in good faith or not, you must return the stolen goods obtained in good faith to the original owner. Of course, you can ask the original owner for the expenses you spend in the process of obtaining them in good faith.
For example, Yang Jing spent $2 million on a landscape painting at the auction. As a result, the landscape painting was later proved to be stolen goods. Then Yang Jing must return the painting to the original owner, but can ask the original owner for $2 million in auction fees.
But it's different in the United States.
Before, the United States treated bona fide acquisition in the same way as China. In any case, the stolen goods obtained in good faith must be returned. However, with the development of society, this rough treatment of bona fide acquisition is more and more inconsistent with the process of social development, so the United States issued the unified commercial code to distinguish the stolen goods obtained in good faith.
Lin Dan grabbed the phone and called out. After talking for a while, Lin Dan put down the phone and said, "I just consulted the company's lawyer. The lawyer told me that if I obtained the stolen goods in good faith, the original owner and the police also have no right to go back. The unified Commercial Code" There are clear regulations on this piece. Therefore, if I don't want to leave these 13 famous paintings, it's no problem. "(PS: Lao Mo explains here. In fact, the United States Uniform Commercial Code Article 2-403 of the Chinese law clearly stipulates that stolen goods are not protected by bona fide acquisition. However, we are YY novels here, and the thirteen paintings are too valuable. If the protagonist returns the thirteen paintings, everyone will be very unhappy. Therefore, I changed this legal provision without authorization to allow stolen goods to be acquired in good faith Protection. Well, if there are law savvy book friends, please don't spray it. Just enjoy it.)
Hearing what Lin Dan said, Yang Jing asked in surprise, "do you mean we can keep these thirteen famous paintings?"
"Well, we can really stay, but not in your name, but in my name. After all, the warehouse storing these 13 paintings was photographed in my name. The B1 visa you got can't hold such an auction in the United States."
Yang Jing nodded and said, "it's no problem. I can trust you. Now I'm worried about how to take these 13 paintings out of the United States. Although the police have no right to go back, they will certainly monitor you closely, so that you can't take these 13 paintings out of the United States."
Lin Dan smiled and said: "Brother Yang, you don't have to worry about this. There must be a way to get to the front of the mountain. Don't worry. As long as these 13 famous paintings can appear in front of the world openly, there will always be a way to get these 13 famous paintings out of the country in the future. I have to ask the relevant personnel about the specific methods. You can't go abroad through illegal means, but you must transfer them to your name in a fair and bright way. But it's too late Cheng should be more troublesome. "
Yang Jing shook her head and said, "in fact, if it weren't for this thing, I really don't want to get into such a big trouble." Yang Jing said and picked up a bronze ware like a trumpet from the table. "This bronze ware is called" Dendrobium " , it's a bronze ware of our Chinese and Shang Dynasties. It's lost together with the 13 famous paintings. See, our national treasure has been robbed by the Americans. They can openly display it in the museum instead of returning it to us, so I'm angry. Since the 13 paintings are OK, I'll take them away and let the Americans taste it But it's not like going back! "
Lin Dan took the bronze and shook his head helplessly.
"Brother Yang, don't worry. I promise these things can be successfully attributed to your name. Don't forget, I'm a Chinese. I live in San Francisco. San Francisco is an important gathering area for Chinese in the United States. There are many ways for associations there to ensure the safety of these 13 famous paintings. Even the American police dare not attack Chinese there openly. Wait for us After going back, I'll consult with relevant parties and try to transfer these 13 famous paintings to your name as soon as possible. "
Yang Jing nodded and said, "OK! When we return to Beaumont tomorrow and deal with the old oil well, we'll go straight back to San Francisco!"
PS: bow and thank you for the reward of "chilled octave" 500.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

At the time of the case, Yang Jing was not even born.However, when he identified the 13 paintings with the holy ring, he immediately checked the 13 famous paintings on the Internet and got a painful result.As for lindane, although he is a Chinese American, he is an American born and raised in the United States. Especially Vermeer's concert is so famous. He has seen the picture of this famous painting several times. Of course, he has also heard of the case that happened that year. Therefore, when he first saw the painting, he recognized the origin of the painting at a glance.Of course, only one "concert" almost made Lin Dan lose his soul, and when he saw the remaining 12 works, he came back to life"Brother Yang, don't tell me that these 13 works are hidden in the warehouse I took today."Yang Jing shrugged her shoulders and said, "where do you think these thirteen paintings came from? Did they fly with their own wings? Or did they fall from the sky? Yes, brother, these thirteen paintings were found in that warehouse..."Lin Dan touched his head. "Brother Yang, what shall we do with these paintings?"Yang Jing said with a wry smile, "what do you say to deal with it? I'm worried about it."After a pause, Yang Jing asked Lin Dan, "these thirteen paintings are stolen goods. It is certain that I didn't steal them, but now they are in my hand. You say, if the FBI knows, will they go back?"Lin Dan also smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not very clear when you ask me, but it involves the legal provisions on 'bona fide acquisition' stipulated in the United States unified commercial code As far as I know, if the stolen goods of deception or fraud are obtained in good faith, the police have no right to recover the things obtained in good faith. For example, the thirteen paintings were not stolen, but obtained through fraud or fraud. As a result, I have obtained them in good faith, so the police have no right to go back However, these 13 paintings were not obtained through fraud and fraud, but stolen goods. Although I have obtained them in good faith, I do not know whether these stolen goods are protected by the unified commercial code. "Lin Dan said so, but Yang Jing understood a little. The laws of the United States are different from those of China, especially the provisions on being good at obtaining stolen goods.In the Chinese legal provisions, as long as it is stolen goods, whether you obtain them in good faith or not, you must return the stolen goods obtained in good faith to the original owner. Of course, you can ask the original owner for the expenses you spend in the process of obtaining them in good faith.For example, Yang Jing spent $2 million on a landscape painting at the auction. As a result, the landscape painting was later proved to be stolen goods. Then Yang Jing must return the painting to the original owner, but can ask the original owner for $2 million in auction fees.But it's different in the United States.Before, the United States treated bona fide acquisition in the same way as China. In any case, the stolen goods obtained in good faith must be returned. However, with the development of society, this rough treatment of bona fide acquisition is more and more inconsistent with the process of social development, so the United States issued the unified commercial code to distinguish the stolen goods obtained in good faith.Lin Dan grabbed the phone and called out. After talking for a while, Lin Dan put down the phone and said, "I just consulted the company's lawyer. The lawyer told me that if I obtained the stolen goods in good faith, the original owner and the police also have no right to go back. The unified Commercial Code" There are clear regulations on this piece. Therefore, if I don't want to leave these 13 famous paintings, it's no problem. "PS: Lao Mo explains here. In fact, the United States Uniform Commercial Code Article 2-403 of the Chinese law clearly stipulates that stolen goods are not protected by bona fide acquisition. However, we are YY novels here, and the thirteen paintings are too valuable. If the protagonist returns the thirteen paintings, everyone will be very unhappy. Therefore, I changed this legal provision without authorization to allow stolen goods to be acquired in good faith Protection. Well, if there are law savvy book friends, please don't spray it. Just enjoy it.Hearing what Lin Dan said, Yang Jing asked in surprise, "do you mean we can keep these thirteen famous paintings?""Well, we can really stay, but not in your name, but in my name. After all, the warehouse storing these 13 paintings was photographed in my name. The B1 visa you got can't hold such an auction in the United States."Yang Jing nodded and said, "it's no problem. I can trust you. Now I'm worried about how to take these 13 paintings out of the United States. Although the police have no right to go back, they will certainly monitor you closely, so that you can't take these 13 paintings out of the United States."Lin Dan smiled and said: "Brother Yang, you don't have to worry about this. There must be a way to get to the front of the mountain. Don't worry. As long as these 13 famous paintings can appear in front of the world openly, there will always be a way to get these 13 famous paintings out of the country in the future. I have to ask the relevant personnel about the specific methods. You can't go abroad through illegal means, but you must transfer them to your name in a fair and bright way. But it's too late Cheng should be more troublesome. "Yang Jing shook her head and said, "in fact, if it weren't for this thing, I really don't want to get into such a big trouble." Yang Jing said and picked up a bronze ware like a trumpet from the table. "This bronze ware is called" Dendrobium " , it's a bronze ware of our Chinese and Shang Dynasties. It's lost together with the 13 famous paintings. See, our national treasure has been robbed by the Americans. They can openly display it in the museum instead of returning it to us, so I'm angry. Since the 13 paintings are OK, I'll take them away and let the Americans taste it But it's not like going back! "Lin Dan took the bronze and shook his head helplessly."Brother Yang, don't worry. I promise these things can be successfully attributed to your name. Don't forget, I'm a Chinese. I live in San Francisco. San Francisco is an important gathering area for Chinese in the United States. There are many ways for associations there to ensure the safety of these 13 famous paintings. Even the American police dare not attack Chinese there openly. Wait for us After going back, I'll consult with relevant parties and try to transfer these 13 famous paintings to your name as soon as possible. "Yang Jing nodded and said, "OK! When we return to Beaumont tomorrow and deal with the old oil well, we'll go straight back to San Francisco!"PS: bow and thank you for the reward of "chilled octave" 500.
