Chapter 411 – This is real?! (1/2)

Everyone’s eyes are glued to the TV.

The National Museum break-in? What’s going on? How can a break-in happen there?

This is last-minute news. Japan had tried to withhold the news, but the Chinese reporters stationed in Japan found out about it. The newscaster read out the news emotionlessly on the TV. “Our reporters had just informed us that Japan’s No. 1 Museum, Tokyo National Museum, was broken into at around 1pm today. Because the Museum is not accepting any interviews, we are still trying to find out the details…”

Xie Hao laughed out loud when he heard this. “Serve them right!”

Xie Jing is also happy. “Good! This should teach them a lesson!”

Han Jing, Xie Guobang, and the rest are very concerned about this. “Xiao Hao, switch to a news channel.”

Some TV stations have more restrictions and will not report on unconfirmed news by the official parties. But other TV stations do not have these restrictions and will report more details.

After switching three to four channels, they finally found one news channel.

The news is showing footage of Ueno Onshi Park’s entrance. It should be recorded by an Overseas Chinese student or a tourist with their phone. A crowd had gathered outside, and there is a police cordon tape sealing the entrance. More than a dozen police officers are there to maintain order and the front yard is full of police cars. Something major had happened.

Xie Guobang frowned. “Seems like the stolen relic is very valuable.”

“There are so many officers there. Did their National Treasure got stolen?” Ci Lifen asked.

Xie Hao laughed. “This is what they deserve! Hahahaha… All of their displayed items should be stolen!”

The footage switched to the newscaster. “From what our reporter gathered, the case happened around 1 pm Tokyo time, and the Museum is still opened to the public. The first alarm in the Asian Gallery sounded. An overseas Chinese student told the reporter that he was near the gallery when it happened. Lots of guards rushed over immediately. But they did not find anyone other than shattered glass pieces. About more than ten minutes later, the security alarm sounded again. This time, it is in the Main Gallery. The Museum still has not issued an official statement on what was stolen.”

After that, the footage switched to old news footage, introducing the National Museum’s security features.

This is Japan’s archived news footage with Chinese translations at the bottom.

Xie Jing took a deep breath. “Who is this criminal? How can he be so skillful?”

Ci Lifen is also puzzled. “By right, it should not happen. How can this happen in the day, and they cannot catch the criminal? What are their Police doing? What happened to their security?”

Xie Ran nodded. “This should not happen. The Police there should at least have some clues. From the report, it seems that the culprit had escaped.”

Han Jing said after a long pause. “The culprit should not have escaped and should be hiding within the Museum. Maybe he is under investigation now, but he had hidden the stolen goods already.”

Xie Hao replied gloatingly. “I hope it is their National Treasures that is stolen!”

Dong Xuebing was still feeling upset for being interrupted earlier. He cleared his throat and added. “Yes. It’s the . One of Japan’s National Treasures.”
