Chen Rui didn't know much about oil painting, so he could only look at each one from its appearance.

Only an appraiser like Karen who specializes in Western art can tell the quality of this painting.

She tasted it for a long time before carefully wrapping the painting.

This painting is still in the same condition as when it was stolen.

The canvas is cut on all sides and is not framed.

As for the thieves, the only thing they could do with any sense of conscience was to use a plastic sealing machine to seal the painting.

This prevented the painting from being damaged twice, and it was also wrapped with plastic wrap and kraft paper to prevent moisture.

It seems that they also knew that this painting would not see the light of day again for some time.

That's why such preservation methods are adopted.

In the second oil-paper bag, as expected, they took out a piece of "Three People's Concert".

The picture is very dark, and there is a man sitting there playing the piano.

And beside him, there were two beauties sitting and standing...

This painting is a masterpiece by another Dutch master Vermeer.

Speaking of this master, many people may not know much about him.

But when it comes to his masterpieces "Girl with a Pearl Earring" and "The Milkmaid", there are probably not many people who have not seen them.

After all, there are spoof pictures based on these two paintings everywhere on the Internet.

And this painting is much more interesting than the previous one.

Even a layman like Chen Rui could see the power of this painting.

Because in this painting, apart from the pianist playing the piano and two beauties listening to the piano.

The most interesting thing is that there are two oil paintings hanging on the wall opposite the piano.

Vermeer, on the other hand, was not fooled by the fact that it was a painting within a painting.

He even painted the two oil paintings hanging on the wall vividly in this painting.

"Wow, looking at the two paintings, the one on the left is "Country Landscape" by Van Hojdal, a famous Dutch painter at that time."

"The other one is also "The Madam" by the Dutch painter Bubbler."

"A master is a master, and he can guarantee such a high degree of restoration within the painting..."

While appreciating the painting, Karen explained it to Zhou Pingan.

But Zhou Ping'an didn't listen at all. His thoughts at this time were all about these trophies.

He had checked the information before. It was said that the gangsters stole a total of thirteen paintings from the Boston Museum at that time.

But when he took away the two upper paintings, there was only the last painting below.

This painting is a simple ink drawing, a portrait.

The appearance of a young man wearing a hat and curly hair.

Zhou Ping'an was a little confused when he saw this painting, because it was not an oil painting and the size was not large.

But when Karen saw this painting, she smiled crookedly.

"Come on, this is one of Rembrandt's most famous masterpieces, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man."

"It is said that the painting is of himself."

"Don't look at it, this painting is not big, but it may be the most expensive of these paintings!"

Karen took out the painting and looked at it again and then said.

But this is Zhou Ping'an, who has already searched the wooden box again.

In this picture, there is another painting, which is also a portrait.

But the painting style of this painting looks much weirder. To be honest, it looks like a portrait made of mosaics.

Anyway, it looks weird.

After reading it, Chen Rui's only feeling was that he was a little at a loss.

But when Karen saw this painting, she couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise.

"This painting is also here?"

"What kind of masterpiece is this?"

Chen Rui asked quickly.

"This is "Chase Totoni" by the French master Monet. This is one of Monet's masterpieces."

"It is also the most expensive painting among the stolen paintings!"

Karen introduced Chen Rui and Chen Rui was overjoyed after hearing this.

I quickly continued to scroll down, but there was nothing behind it.

"How is this possible?"

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, and then carefully checked the wooden box several times.

After confirming that there really was no mezzanine to hide the paintings, he threw the wooden box aside in despair.

"Didn't you say that more than a dozen paintings were lost? Why are there only these four left now?"

Chen Rui scratched his head and thought.

"Is it still hidden in other walls in this room?"

Karen also became energetic now.

"Well, that makes sense."

Chen Rui stood up with a sledgehammer and began to patrol the entire house.

In fact, he had already used his perspective function when he was walking in and out of the house earlier.

I scanned the whole house through perspective.

In the end, it was determined that there was such a mezzanine hidden in the wall of the living room.

This kind of mezzanine does not exist elsewhere.

But at this time, Karen had brought it up, so he had to pretend to look for it.

Otherwise, people will look at it and think, good guy, you are so accurate with this move. How on earth did you do it?

How does he explain it to others?

So, he could only use a sledgehammer to smash a few holes in other walls.

The result is naturally nothing.

After all this trip, it was already two o'clock in the morning.

The two of us went to the night market yesterday and didn't sleep all night.

I only squinted in the motel for a while during the day, and then rushed over to participate in the home auction here.

Then I bought this house. After all this time, I didn’t have a good rest for more than 20 hours.

Although Chen Rui's physical fitness is amazing, he is also very tired now.

The two of them couldn't care less about the bedroom upstairs in the house, which was leaking from air and rain.

After choosing a room, the environment looked pretty good, so the two of them couldn't wait to move in.

The two of them almost fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow.

When Chen Rui opened his eyes, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

After resting for such a long time, he felt like a fully charged battery, full of energy.

But Karen was not around at this time.

He opened the door and smelled the fragrance coming from downstairs.

When I came downstairs, it turned out that Karen was cooking in the kitchen.

They bought this house yesterday, and there were a lot of unsold furniture in the house.

The landlord, Johnny, left everything to them.

So they also have tools to cook, and Karen is making a pot of lobster bisque.

"I know you like to eat lobster. I went to the seafood market to buy fresh ones when I fell asleep at noon."

Karen smiled and said to Chen Rui, who was very moved.

Chen Rui poured out the soup, and Karen also mixed the salad.

The two came to the dining table and started enjoying today's lunch.

After just a few bites, Karen said to him like a show off.
