Chapter 376: Night Exploration of the Museum
Back in the car, Secretary Jin handed over the resettlement fee and salary belonging to Lin Siqiao.
Her contract was signed directly with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Secretary Jin didn't know the exact amount, and he didn't ask too much. He just asked Lin Siqiao to keep the money.
A few minutes later, they arrived at the apartment near the police station.
The house is located on the third floor and has two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. The decoration style of the room tends to be light luxury, and the furniture and cabinets look very textured.
Lin Siqiao looked at each room one by one, and she particularly liked the curved iron balcony in the master bedroom.
When she has nothing to do, she can sit here, bask in the sun, and read a book. She can't even imagine how happy that would be.
Originally, the second bedroom was opposite the master bedroom, but Secretary Jin had it converted into a study room in advance. In short, it was very thoughtful.
When Lin Siqiao arrived, he discovered that the bustling Piccadilly Circus was just downstairs from his apartment.
There are many restaurants here and the transportation is convenient, which is enough to meet Lin Siqiao's daily needs.
There is no need to worry about the noise problem in London's Piccadilly Circus. The street-facing apartments here will have at least two layers of soundproof glass installed.
In addition, there is a curfew after 10 o'clock in the evening, which basically does not affect Lin Siqiao's sleep.
After looking around, Lin Siqiao found that the house was fully equipped with furniture and appliances, basically nothing was missing. He was very satisfied with it.
After Secretary Jin and his group left, Lin Siqiao simply tidied up and made a hearty lunch for herself.
After eating and drinking, and taking a short nap, Lin Siqiao officially started his plan.
Before going out, she put on some light makeup in a rock-punk style.
Lin Siqiao didn't want to make herself so exaggerated, but she had no choice because this kind of makeup was very popular among young people in the country.
In the 1980s, the popular dress code among British people was especially in places like concert halls and museums, where more people wore strange clothes.
If this happened in Beijing, people would have to look up if they saw a dog on the side of the road, but in China, people are no longer surprised by this.
Perhaps people think that people who dress like this may not be easy to get along with, so they will subconsciously stay away from them when they meet them.
And this is exactly the effect Lin Siqiao wants.
After putting on makeup, Lin Siqiao went into the space. The Chinese clothing style of this era was actually very close to the Hong Kong style of the 1980s and 1990s.
This style of clothes is not difficult to find on the platform.
After everything was ready, Lin Siqiao hailed a taxi and went directly to the museum.
It was summer vacation now, and many people came to visit the museum, including locals and many foreign tourists.
Lin Siqiao had an expressionless face and was wearing strange clothes. Not to mention that the people in front and behind her stood at least half a meter away from her when queuing.
It's impossible to cut in line with her.
The last time Lin Siqiao came here, he came with a delegation. Maybe the museum had made arrangements in advance, so there was no special security check when they came in.
But this time the situation was different. As soon as Lin Siqiao reached the entrance, the staff reached out and stopped her.
"Ma'am, please put your bag here and let us keep it."
"If there are any valuables in your bag, please register them here."
Lin Siqiao was wondering why the team didn't move at all after she had been waiting for a long time.
At this time, a young girl from the next team was heard shouting with her hands on her hips and a speechless expression on her face.
"!" (Ahh!)
"Hey uncle, why don't you let me bring a bag in? I've been to museums in so many countries, but this is the first time I've heard that bags are not allowed."
"Are you targeting me because I'm Asian?"
There were a lot of things in her bag, and each one was extremely precious to her. It took her half a day just to register the items.
The people behind me were urging me to do more, and so were the staff. It was really annoying!
The staff member glanced at her and said, "I'm sorry, ma'am. We don't mean to target you. Please cooperate with us."
As the two men were arguing, people in other passages also looked over.
A man behind Lin Siqiao shrugged helplessly.
"If we are to be targeted, it is us locals who are targeted. You just need to hand over your bags to them. We are likely to be searched."
In China, being searched is already a serious offense. Lin Siqiao had a feeling that something was not right.
With a roll of her eyes, she immediately echoed the words in standard Korean.
"But the last time my friend came here to visit, he didn't say we couldn't bring bags in."
When the girl heard the familiar accent, she immediately felt like she had found an ally.
"Uncle, did you hear that? I didn't say you couldn't bring it last time!"
The staff member still had no expression, "You also said that was last time. We received this notice half a month ago."
"Now, all visitors who come to visit the museum must hand in their bags. This is the rule."
Lin Siqiao continued to add fuel to the fire, still speaking Korean language.
"But rules are dead and people are alive. So many people have come here to queue for almost two hours. Can't the museum be more humane in its management?"
"That's right!" The girl nodded frantically, feeling that Lin Siqiao's words touched her heart.
Then, without Lin Siqiao saying anything, she started talking rapidly.
The staff member also got angry, "I say again, ma'am, this is the notification we received."
"If you are unwilling to cooperate with our work, I have the right to refuse you entry into the museum."
The girl seemed to have heard something funny, "Why don't you let me in?"
The staff member stood up and said, "First, the museum didn't charge you any tickets. Second, you were making a lot of noise and disrupted the order of everyone entering the museum."
"I have reason to suspect that your visit to the museum was not just a simple one."
Lin Siqiao frowned. What the staff member said was quite straightforward.
The girl also reacted, "Uncle, please explain yourself clearly! What did you mean by the last sentence? Are you trying to accuse me of stealing?"
"I didn't say that."
The staff member became a little impatient and picked up the intercom on the table.
"Security personnel, please come over here with two people, there is a disturbance here."
Less than a minute after he finished speaking, two big men in black came out. They said they were inviting us in, but in reality it was almost like they were driving us away.
At this moment, the people in the queue suddenly became quiet.
No one made a fuss or made a noise, everyone just handed in the bag obediently.
It was still several hundred meters from the entrance to the museum's exhibition hall, and a group of people were complaining as they walked.
Many people have speculated whether the museum has lost something recently?
But when I went in and saw the thickness of the glass in the exhibition hall window, I felt that I was overthinking.
This thickness is obviously bulletproof glass, and ordinary pistols cannot penetrate it at all.
Lin Siqiao hid in the crowd, summarizing the information he heard one by one, while also keeping an eye on the security situation in the exhibition hall.
The museum has seven floors in total, and the basement floor is not open to the public.
The first to fourth floors are exhibition halls, the fifth floor is the office area, and the curator's office is on the sixth floor.
Lin Siqiao used the excuse of wanting to use the restroom and went to the fifth floor for a walk.
I don’t know if it was the bulletproof glass that gave them a strong sense of security. Lin Siqiao saw nothing but an old-fashioned surveillance camera at the entrance on the first floor.
The museum only has two staff members at the entrance of each exhibition hall, and the overall security measures give people a very poor feeling.
But this made it convenient for Lin Siqiao. After returning to the apartment in the evening, she began to make preparations.
The next day, Lin Siqiao changed her makeup and arrived at the museum at about the same time as yesterday.
Today is Sunday and there are more people coming to visit.
Every exhibition hall was packed with people. It was easy to get chaotic when there were too many people. People get irritable in the summer, so people started quarreling when they were squeezed together.
While the staff was mediating, Lin Siqiao reached the office area on the fifth floor with almost no effort.
Then she found an empty corner and slipped into the space.
What followed was a long wait. Fortunately, there was everything in the space. I could read a book and eat something, and time passed quickly.
The museum closed on time at 5:30 and the staff began the final cleaning work.
They will pay special attention to checking places like restrooms to prevent someone from deliberately hiding there.
An hour later, all the lights in the exhibition hall went out and the entire museum was eerily silent.
Lin Siqiao thought it was about time and flashed out of the space. If someone saw this scene at this moment, they would definitely be scared to death.
After all, the black gauze dress coupled with the skull-shaped mask looks very much like a ghost in the eyes of Westerners.
Lin Siqiao had no idea what was going on on the sixth floor, so she could only make foolproof preparations.
After turning on the electromagnetic interference device, Lin Siqiao went up the stairs to the sixth floor.
Just as she took out the master key to unlock the door, there was a sudden sound of heavy footsteps in the corridor.
