If you are asked to simulate committing a crime, will you become the godfather of crime?

The news of Kidd's theft of the British Museum spread again. Even though this was the second time, the popularity did not weaken at all, and was even more popular than the last time.

After all, compared to the beautiful country, the Empire on which the sun never sets is more annoying. The burning of the Old Summer Palace, the Eight-Power Allied Forces, the Opium War... all kinds of crimes are too numerous to describe.

The Sun Never Sets Empire plundered many more cultural relics from China, including countless Chinese treasures. It is even more exciting to take back the Chinese treasures from the British Museum.

"It’s so cool, I got back a lot of treasures"

"The most awesome thing is that the Yongle Sword is back"

"I think the most awesome one is the picture of female history."

"These cultural relics are all awesome, but the most awesome thing is that the treasures come alive and go home on their own."

"No need to doubt, Chen Yi must be a magician"

"And he is definitely not an ordinary magician, he is probably a holy magician."

"I previously brought back cultural relics from the Metropolitan Museum of this beautiful country and was entitled to enjoy the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Now"One Three Three" has brought back more treasures from the British Museum. No matter how good the treatment, I think it deserves it."

At the same time, the news spread across the Empire where the sun never sets. The curator, deputy curator and others rushed to the museum in a hurry. After confirming that the cultural relics were missing, their faces turned pale.

Director Hart scolded:"How are you guarding? Why are so many lost?"

The security guard said aggrievedly:"We didn't see anyone, and we didn't hear any alarms. As soon as we opened the door today, the cultural relics jumped out like swarms of people alive.."

Director Hart was too lazy to argue with the security personnel and immediately checked the surveillance camera at the door. In fact, he had already seen the video on the way here. However, when he saw the cultural relics in the surveillance footage again as if they were alive and jumping around and running away, he couldn't help but I feel incredible.

This goes against science and common sense.

Hart asked:"How many of the cultural relics you captured after escaping?"

The security guard said:"Nine were captured and placed in the hall, but the others are missing."

Hart immediately asked people to check the nine cultural relics.

After the treasure appraiser finished the inspection, his face was full of astonishment:"It is indeed authentic. There is no automated machinery installed inside, especially this stone statue. It is still solid inside." Everyone present felt as if they had seen a ghost.

Hart simply ignored these things. The main thing to do now was to find the lost cultural relics, and he knew for sure that the cultural relics were already in China.

Like the previous director of the Metropolitan Museum, Hart immediately called the police in China and held a press conference to question China and demand that it return the cultural relics.

However, this time the Chinese Foreign Minister was still tough and immediately held a press conference to respond:"As for the British Museum accusing us of theft, I don't want to respond too much. After all, this is similar to the situation at the Metropolitan Museum. Just take a look at my previous response. Got it"

"This press conference is held to talk about another thing."As he spoke, the Foreign Minister opened a piece of information on the screen,"According to CCTV News citing the BBC report, there have been six known thefts from the British Museum in the past 30 years: in 1993, Roman coins collected by the museum were stolen; In 1997, several Persian books were stolen; in 2002, a 2,500-year-old Greek statue was stolen; in 2004, more than a dozen Chinese bronze mirrors, armor and gemstones were stolen; in 2017, a Cartier diamond worth £750,000 was stolen The ring diamond was revealed to have been stolen in 2011; in August 2023, gold and jewelry artifacts were stolen from the British Museum warehouse. These are all traceable and cannot be quibbled with."

"Originally, we thought that there were only this many, but according to a recent investigation by an enthusiastic citizen, Chen Yi, we found that the number stolen was actually far more than this."

"In February 2021, a man named Gradel sent an email to Jonathan, the then deputy director of the British Museum, detailing the disturbing findings he had made. A seller with the online name Sudan 1966 is selling Roman reliefs and other collections from the British Museum on eBay. Sultan claimed to be named Paul Higgins in 1966, but Gradel discovered that his bank account name was actually Peter Higgs, the same name as the British Museum's senior curator"

"This should have been a big deal, but Gradel waited for months with no news other than a receipt acknowledging receipt of the email."

"Gradel lost patience with Jonathan and began to contact Hart, the then director of the British Museum. The result was the same, and the email disappeared."

"In July 2021, after waiting for nearly 5 months, Jonathan finally gave a reply, but contrary to expectations, Jonathan stated that all the items had been found, calling his accusations baseless. Gradel was shocked and hoped the British Museum could at least explain why the collection, which had been disclosed by the British Museum, was being sold on a shopping website. But the answer I got was that it was not convenient to disclose the internal investigation information."

"Regarding this matter, Chen Yi launched a detailed investigation and found that there were many more lost cultural relics in the British Museum than imagined, and many of them were not properly cataloged and registered. In other words, even if it is stolen, this museum will not even be able to find it.........."

"The British Museum has more than 8 million items in its collection, but only about 4.5 million items have been recorded in digital archives, which is basically half of the collection. In 1988, the watchdog National Audit Office issued a report criticizing the British Museum's stocktaking and cataloging as unsatisfactory and saying it was uncertain when the situation would improve due to ongoing staff shortages." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Since the report was published, other major British institutions, including the Victoria and Albert Museum, have completed computerized inventories of their collections. However, the British Museum did not do this. The British Museum’s security system has huge loopholes in protecting its collections."

"It is difficult to understand why the British Museum, which has been organizing various events, exhibitions and producing exquisite catalogues, has such a big hole in the primary responsibility of a museum - recording its collections. A large number of cultural relics have been stolen, which is almost a disaster that is destined to happen."

"Loopholes in records open the door to thieves, and those who know which artifacts in a collection have not been properly registered can have a big advantage when moving those artifacts. If you lose the Parthenon sculptures or the Rosetta Stone, you will be discovered immediately. If you take away a smaller Roman relief with incomplete records, unless you are an extremely professional and careful cultural relics expert, Otherwise, most people will not realize that something is missing, and the fact that the collection of cultural relics can be moved outside the museum also proves that there are lapses in its security work."

The Minister of Foreign Affairs finally concluded:"According to the estimate of our enthusiastic member Chen Yi, there are more than 2,000 cultural relics lost in the British Museum. You have robbed 0.8 treasures from all over the world, but you can't even keep them well. In this case, why not transfer all the plundered items? Are collections returned to the country of origin of the collection?"

This statement shocked all the reporters at the scene.[]

For a moment, I even forgot about the questions I originally thought about.

The reporter from The Sun Never Sets Empire, who was preparing to be aggressive, also stayed where he was.

If true, it would be the biggest scandal in global museum history.

A large number of cultural relics in the British Museum were originally acquired from various places by colonial officials, soldiers, anthropologists and natural historians during the overseas colonial period of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets.

The British Museum has long refused to return controversial collections to their countries of origin on security grounds, saying the countries to which they belong are unable to look after the collections and that they are easily stolen. But it can now be seen how absurd it was for the British Museum to refuse to return controversial artefacts on security grounds..
