Chapter 721 (2/2)

”I didn't expect this to happen.” With a look of regret and heartache, Watanabe Nagoya said: ”if the case of cultural relics theft can not be solved in a short time, it will be very difficult to recover the lost cultural relics.”

”Who said no!” The curator smashed his mouth, frowned and said, ”this case is very complicated. I don't know how the thief stole it.”

Finally, the curator sighed heavily.

”I've been wandering around Nanjing these days. I've seen a new museum project. It seems that it's almost finished. By that time, Nanjiang museum will be open to the public?” Watanabe changgu digged off the topic and said, ”look, the new museum is not small. Should it be open to the outside world?”

”When the new museum is built, it will be open to the outside world.” The curator nodded and said, ”after all, the cultural relics in stock of Nanjiang Museum in recent years are enough to support a regular museum.”

”What a pity that tripod!” Watanabe changgu nodded and said, ”when the time comes, there will be no tripod in the new exhibition hall. There is a missing cultural relic.”

”Not at all.” When the curator said this, he saw Watanabe changgu raise his glass, touch it with him, and continued: ”the police found an imitation at the airport. They don't know how the picture of tripod came out of the museum. The imitation is very exquisite. When the time comes, it can be used for exhibition outside the new museum. After all, many important cultural relics need imitation, We are already working on the preparation of imitations so that the museum can be displayed immediately after the ribbon cutting. ”

What the curator said is true. Their focus of work at this time is to make copies of the important cultural relics in the museum, so that after the new museum is completed, it can be displayed immediately.

As a matter of fact, the curators of some important cultural relics have already made imitations. Only the bronze wares have not yet been made, because the production of imitations of bronze wares requires not only professional technology, but also space. Nanjiang Museum does not have these two conditions at present.

If the bronze tripod had not been stolen, it would have to be imitated sooner or later. However, the curators ranked behind in the production of bronze imitations. What they could copy in the early stage was to do it themselves. After all, they could save a lot of money.

”Nanjiang museum is not open to the public, but there are imitations?” With an unbelievable look on his face, Watanabe Nagoya asked: ”curator, this is not a small matter. I'm afraid your internal staff are suspicious?”

The curator shook his head and said, ”I believe the people in our museum. As for what's going on, let the police investigate. When they solve the case, everything will come to a conclusion.”

”The police didn't take you to investigate?” Watanabe Nagoya then asked.

”Can we not investigate?” The curator shook his head with a wry smile and said, ”however, there is no evidence that the appearance of imitations is related to our internal staff. The police have to have procedures for handling cases. We can't be locked up all the time. We have to be released after 24 hours.”

Watanabe changgu sighed and said, ”I hope we can solve the case as soon as possible and recover the lost tripod.”

With these words, Watanabe touched his glass with the curator again and drank the sake out of the glass.

Even though the meal is related to the theft of the museum, it is out of the concern of friends, and there is nothing unusual about it.

Watanabe Nagoya will know about the theft of the museum, which will not make him suspect, because this case is really what Watanabe Nagoya said. The streets and alleys are talking about it, and it has become the talk of the local people in Nanjiang.

It has been more than an hour since the meal was eaten, and it will soon come to an end. There is no abnormality in Watanabe Nagoya, so Liang Baiming and others in the equipment car can't help but look dignified.

Watanabe Nagoya continued to drink with the curator. After a few more sake, Watanabe Nagoya pondered for a while and said, ”curator, I have an invitation. I don't know whether to say it or not?”

Hearing Watanabe Nagoya's words, everyone in the equipment car held their breath!
