Chapter 1195 1195. Morality (45)

There was a big hole in the middle of the quaint room, the floor was broken, almost all the tables and chairs on it fell into the downstairs room, and there was only one chair hanging there upstairs!

Dabeitou's eyes suddenly widened, and the person next to him shouted directly: "Fake, why is this?"

The auctioneer looked at the room and found that the floor of the house was broken, so for safety reasons, the house had to be closed and could not be auctioned.

He closed the door, turned his head back to look at the number plate and then looked inside, then rushed up and pushed the door open, shouting: "Impossible, why, why did this house collapse?"

The treasure picker next to him shrugged and said: "This kind of building is an old-fashioned wooden building, and the floor partitions are not strong. Haven't you seen the news about the partitions being broken?"

Philadelphia is an old city, and there are many old buildings in it. Most of these old buildings are made of wood. Of course, the partitions on the floors are reinforced concrete, but they are not strong after a long time.

In this kind of old city, it is not news that there are problems with buildings, and the US government has been trying to find ways to demolish them to avoid these risks.

Dabei was dumbfounded. He stared blankly at the treasure picker, and murmured: "No, it shouldn't be like this. Why did it collapse suddenly? When did it collapse?"

"Didn't you see the situation in the downstairs room just now? Some things fell down, which is obviously a problem with the dilapidated house upstairs." Another treasure hunter said.

The auctioneer beckoned, "Next, next, let's go to the next auction."

Da Beitou hurriedly took out his mobile phone to make a call, and Li Du almost cried when he heard his tone: "Hello, Dr. Saatchi, this, this, we have seen this room, damn it, it suddenly collapsed..."

Of course, the room didn't collapse automatically. Li Du used a small trick to deal with this matter opportunistically.

However, what he did was just a counterattack, and the curator Saatchi was the one who cheated in the first place.

After he took a detour to another street last night, he still released the small flying insects, and then saw Sachs, Dabeitou and others enter the museum later.

After entering the museum, they went directly to the second floor, and then Saqi pointed to this room and said something to Dabei and the others.

The little flying insect has no hearing, but it has very good eyesight. Through the vision of the little flying insect, Li Du clearly saw where Sa Qi subconsciously pointed at when he pointed at the house.

A solid wood table!

People's subconscious often reveals a lot of information. For example, at this moment, Li Du realized from Sa Qi's subconscious that this old guy knew the tricks in the table.

There was something in this solid wooden table, just like what he had seen in the prison warehouse before, the inside of the table had been ripped open, and a large hard board book was hidden inside.

At first, Li Du admired the curator Saatchi. He thought that the old curator was the kind of scholar who was willing to be poor and obsessed with academics, but now it seems that he is not.

Li Du was not stupid, he quickly figured out what was going on after contacting the previous and subsequent events.

Someone at the museum had hidden a very valuable book and might have tried to ship it, but somehow it never worked out.

Director Saatchi knew where the book was, reported it as lost, and when the museum was about to close down, he decided to keep the book for himself.

But this book is very conspicuous. If he got it secretly, he would definitely face a lawsuit if something happened to him in the future.

So he changed his mind. He used his power to put the museum seized by the government and the bank on the auction block, and then took the room with the help of treasure hunters, and then tried to get the book.

Li Du didn't know what method he would use to whitewash this antique book, but the other party must have an idea, otherwise he would not try to arrange this auction.

It's a pity that the praying mantis was catching the cicada, and the oriole was behind. Li Du saw all this.

When he saw that Director Saatchi was playing tricks, he unceremoniously dismissed the tricks.

Director Saatchi took the treasure hunter with the big back to see the room to confirm the location, and then they left.

In order to make sure his reasoning was correct, Li Du asked Brother Lang to follow Da Beitou to investigate his identity.

The identity he found out was exactly what he thought. This is a local treasure hunter in Philadelphia. He will definitely participate in the auction tomorrow, and he is determined to win this house.

So Li Du sent out small flying insects to absorb the energy of time on the floor, but absorbed it with great effort, absorbed it desperately, and destroyed the floor and the concrete layer of the interlayer together.

In this way, when the wooden floor and concrete layer become decayed due to the loss of time energy, it can no longer bear the weight of the solid wood tables and chairs above.

In the dead of night, when no one knew, the tables and chairs on the second floor fell into the first floor with the sound of rumbling.

The development of today's auction is also as he guessed.

Dabeitou didn't know this museum at all, otherwise, when he saw the ceiling of the room downstairs was broken and the tables and chairs fell, he should think of the situation upstairs.

Last night he just followed curator Saatchi to find his way in a hurry, knowing which room he was going to photograph, but he didn't know what the surroundings of this room and its downstairs looked like.

The auction was still going on, and the curator Saatchi hurried over. He stood outside the door of the big office on the second floor and looked, just like Dabeitou, he was also stunned.

"Downstairs, who took the exhibition room downstairs?" Director Saatchi asked in a panic.

Dabei murmured: "I didn't notice, I'll check it for you..."

"Fuck you!" Curator Saatchi went into a rage, and he shouted, "The auction is suspended! The auction is stopped, and there are construction problems in the building, so the auction will be cancelled!"

The auctioneers and treasure hunters are not happy anymore. They spent nearly a day, or spent such precious time just after Christmas, how can they be wasted?

Facing the crazy curator Saatchi, everyone was not polite:

"This is not a reason to suspend the auction. You have no right to manage the contents now."

"Hi, curator, I respect you very much. I have been here and visited the animal and plant specimens inside, but I have to remind you that according to the law, the things inside have changed hands."

"Don't worry, Mr. Doctor, this museum will not collapse for the time being. Fortunately, it is bankrupt. If such an accident occurs during operation, it will be really troublesome."

Director Saqi waved his arms and shouted: "I don't care, the auction is suspended, it must be suspended, the things inside still belong to the museum, and you will come to the auction later..."

Li Du showed the invoice calmly and said, "Sorry, we have already paid the money. According to the law, this auction is a transaction, and the transaction is now over."

The treasure hunters nodded one after another, and the curator Saqi suddenly expressed despair, and murmured: "Oh damn, how could Madd like this!"

Li Du asked curiously: "Mr. Doctor, it seems that something happened here that you can't accept? What's the matter?"

Director Saatchi showed a smile uglier than crying, and said: "The room of the museum has collapsed. I have worked here for more than forty years, and I feel uncomfortable!"

Mr. Li was immediately in awe: "You really have an admirable integrity!"

After saying this, he found a place where no one was paying attention and spit. It's disgusting to say such things against his will.
