Chen Rui asked with a smile.

"That's because the original owner of this house, Gentile..."

Karen took a sip of the thick soup and then explained to Chen Rui.

"What happened? Is he the thief involved in the Boston Museum theft?"

Chen Rui asked, Karen shook her head.

"No, he did not participate."

When Chen Rui heard this, he couldn't help but stopped his spoon and looked at Karen.

Wait and see how she deduce it.

In fact, since he bought the Shang Dynasty goblet at the night market, he also knew that the goblet was bought from this house.

He had suspected that the owner of this house might have participated in the famous Boston Museum theft thirty years ago.

But now it seems that I think things are too simple.

At this time, Karen smiled and explained to him.

"This matter started more than thirty years ago."

"In fact, the full name of this Boston museum is the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum of Art."

"As I told you before, this museum is also a private museum."

Chen Rui couldn't help but be stunned. He had always thought that this Boston museum was public.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a private museum?

"This museum was founded in 1903 by Ms. Isabella, a famous local collector in Boston at that time."

"At that time, her son had just died of illness. She was very sad, so she began to travel around the world and developed the habit of collecting."

“So this museum was created!”

"Before that shocking case in 1990, this museum had actually been robbed once."

"Six famous paintings were stolen that time, and the person who committed the theft was quickly caught."

"The thief is a local rock singer named Miles."

"Later, this man used the six stolen paintings to reach a deal with the local prosecutor."

"He returned the painting, and the prosecutor in another district dropped the case against him."

"Later, there was the second shocking case in 1990."

"This case caused a lot of headaches for the police at the time because the perpetrators were very quick and agile."

"They could find no clues to solve the case from almost any angle, and the Gardner family continued to put pressure on the police."

"The police at that time were almost driven crazy."

When Karen said this, Chen Rui kept nodding.

By the way, since he collected the bronze goblet from the night market the day before yesterday, he suspected that the bronze goblet was stolen from the Boston Museum.

I also searched the Internet for various information about the theft in this museum.

You won’t know the results if you don’t check them, but you’ll be shocked if you check them.

What happened in this case can simply be described as bizarre.

We all know that museums have always been heavily guarded places.

Various anti-theft facilities are very advanced, but in fact we have all been misled by Hollywood movies.

In fact, most museums don't pay much attention to security because a complete set of security facilities is too expensive.

Moreover, many museums have very weak security and safety awareness.

It's not as professional as the acting at all in the movie.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that many museum security guards are no different than idiots.

Take the security guards at the Boston Museum, for example. One of them is a fat nerd.

He had been unemployed at home before, and his mother helped him find this security job.

The day this case occurred happened to be a local carnival in Boston.

Two people wearing police uniforms tricked the door into the museum.

The security guards then controlled and tied him up, and then took away thirteen priceless oil paintings and antiques.

The actions of the two thieves can be described as clean and neat. It only took fifteen minutes from opening the door to retreating.

Moreover, he wore a hat, fake beard, and glasses throughout the entire process, leaving no clues to the police at all.

"...until the police found out during the investigation."

"The thieves' method of controlling the security guard is exactly the same as that of Miles before. They use tape to seal the security guard's eyes and mouth."

"Even the way they are tied up is exactly the same."

"Then the police thought of Miles who had robbed the museum before."

"So I brought him in for interrogation. After questioning, I found out that there was no possibility of him committing the crime."

"Because on the day of the second theft, this guy was in jail."

"Later on, the police never stopped investigating this case."

"Later, after a series of efforts, they finally discovered some clues."

"It turns out that when Miles was serving his sentence in prison, in order to avoid being picked up by the old black guy inside, he once took refuge with a boss."

"This boss is the leader of an Italian gang, his name is Ferrara."

"Although he was squatting inside at that time, he still maintained control over the gangs outside."

"But in 1990, his gang was about to be rotated, and he was afraid that he would be replaced."

"The most important thing is that the person who wants to replace him is also his mortal enemy."

"So he frequently plotted with his driver Donati, trying to get him to get some money to bribe other elders in the gang."

"And as a way to get money, they thought of robbing the museum."

"Ferrara told Donati everything Miles told him about the loopholes in the museum."

"In the end, this case was implemented together with Donati and Donati's friend Guarente."

"The two of them also succeeded very smoothly..."

Karen carefully explained to Chen Rui what happened that year.

But Chen Rui raised his head and asked in confusion.

"How do you know this?"

Karen smiled mysteriously.

"My dad has a comrade who is now working in the Boston Police Department."

"These are the things I just called him to ask because this case has not been closed."

"So the files on this case have not been made public yet."

"But it's not difficult for him to get these files."

Chen Rui nodded after hearing this: "If you put it that way, then these Boston police officers are not useless!"

"The general outline of the case has been found out, but now that they have found the person who committed the crime."

"Then why weren't those two arrested and the case closed?"

Karen couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard his question.

"This case is stuck here."

"When the police found out that Donati might have committed the crime, it was already 1991."

"And when the police found Donati, the guy was already dead."

Chen Rui couldn't help but be stunned: "Dead? Could it be that he was hacked?"

"That's not the case, it's just that this guy committed the crime not long ago before he had time to cash in and buy off the gang's elders."
