Chapter 3 Chapter Two: A Statue Artist's Opinion

It is a record of a conversation. It would be monotonous if we only recorded the conversation between three people, so it would be better for me to write down the situation at that time. Although I was not there at the time, Bai Su told me everything that happened at that time. Bai Su's memory is very strong, and the description is very careful, so I can write down the process of her meeting and talking with the visitor. The one who opened the door was Lao Cai, an old servant of our family. Due to his age, Lao Cai was not so quick to move. He rang the doorbell nearly seven times before he went to answer the door.At that time, Bai Su was ready to go downstairs to answer the door, but because Lao Cai had already gone to answer the door, she stayed on the stairs and did not come down immediately.As soon as Lao Cai opened the door, he saw that the visitor was a stranger. As usual, he stared at the person in an unfriendly way. Bai Su couldn't see what kind of person was at the door, but he heard a rather reserved voice asking: "Excuse me, Mr. Wesley Are you there? Can I see him?"

Lao Cai's voice was helpful: "Do you have an appointment with Mr. Wei?" The visitor hurriedly said: "No... I have something to tell him." Lao Cai's tone became even stiffer: "Even if Mr. Wei is here, he won't see you, let alone he's not here." Bai Su sighed secretly on the stairs.I really like meeting people who make all kinds of friends, but in fact, there are too many inexplicable people coming to my door, so I have to tell Lao Cai again and again, if strangers come to my door, try to block them as much as possible. Cai is used to it, and he knows that we will not blame him, so he often uses his own way to make the visiting stranger retreat, and he never dares to touch the nail again.

At this time, Lao Cai's answer was embarrassing enough. Sure enough, the visitor uttered two "ahhh" sounds at a loss, probably to save himself a little face, so he said: "Then I will give you another day." Come again." Lao Cai never showed mercy, and said coldly, "You don't need to come. If you come ten times more, you won't see Mr. Wei." The visitor got a little angry: "Mr. Wei... I don't think you are an important person, you are—" Lao Cai raised his head, with an expression of indifference: "Mr. Wei is not an important person, but there are so many people who want to see him."

The visitor snorted and didn't say anything else. Lao Cai closed the door forcefully. This way of closing the door, if the visitor gets too close to the door, the boss will be shocked. Bai Su walked down the stairs, frowning, and Lao Cai turned around with a very proud expression: "Sent another one." Bai Su sighed: "Actually...you can put it a little more tactfully." Lao Cai rolled his eyes, disapproving: "Be more tactful, can I send you away? Hmph." His "hum" really seemed to be full of pride. Bai Su didn't want to argue with him, and at this moment, the doorbell rang again.This time, Lao Cai became even more airy, turned around to open the door, and raised his fists and arms at the same time, looking at him, he seemed to be about to punch the people outside the door as soon as he opened the door.

And as soon as the door opened, his fist really stretched out immediately. Bai Su was about to stop it, but saw Lao Cai's fist suddenly froze, with a surprised and inexplicable expression on his face, his whole body seemed to be stiff Same. As soon as Bai Su saw this situation, she knew that something unexpected had happened, but before she could take any action, she heard a very familiar voice laughing: "Why, Lao Cai, you don't know me anymore?" As soon as Bai Su heard that voice, she jumped up for joy, and shouted loudly——Bai Su is by no means the kind of woman who has always maintained the innocent and lively girlhood in her actions, but at this time, her actions, Like every normal teenage girl, there was a reason for that.

At this moment, Lao Cai also woke up from his stunned state, and called out, "Master Uncle." The door has been fully opened, the tall person standing at the door, carrying a suitcase, is also walking in, Bai Su rushed up, the person put down the suitcase, and immediately embraced Bai Su tightly .The person who came was Bai Su's brother Bai Qiwei. The reason why I haven’t mentioned Bai Qiwei is that he is participating in the construction of large-scale water conservancy projects all over the world, starting from the Aswan Dam in Egypt, and there is almost no pause. In many cases, it is impossible to know where he is.

Like last time, Bai Su’s father, Boss Bai, was seriously ill in France and was admitted to the hospital. We wanted to find Bai Qiwei, but we didn’t know where to look. We only found the engineering agency he worked for last year. They said he was in Gambia, West Africa, and some said he was in Malaya, and they couldn't find him; Boss Bai thought he was supernatural and had no choice but to scold him for his "absence". Bai Su, it's obviously not our fault, but we can't help but listen and scold. Bai Su and Bai Qiwei haven't seen each other for a long time. In fact, the two brothers and sisters will be separated more often. Therefore, as soon as Bai Su heard Bai Qiwei's voice, he naturally remembered the situation when the two brothers and sisters were together before. In an instant, I feel that time has gone back, so the actions of the girlhood are shown.The two siblings embraced each other for a moment, Bai Su took a step back, and looked at Bai Qiwei, Bai Qiwei had obviously matured, and the arrogance between his brows had also hidden a lot, replaced by rather profound wisdom, Bai Su's side Laughing, too happy to speak.

Bai Qiwei was also very happy, and complimented: "Ha, time seems to have no effect on you at all." Bai Su glared at him, and Bai Qiwei suddenly pointed out the door: "Why did you neglect the master of art?" Bai Su froze for a moment, not knowing what he meant by that.At this moment, when Lao Cai opened the door, he saw Bai Qiwei, remembering that he almost pushed "uncle and young master" out of the door, he was already at a loss, and the door hadn't been closed yet. At this time, Bai Qiwei opened the door a little while talking, so Bai Su also immediately saw a middle-aged man around fifty years old standing outside the door.As soon as Bai Su saw this person, he immediately let out a low cry.But Lao Cai didn't even know what a "master of art" was, so he glared at the middle-aged man: "Why don't you leave?"

When Bai Su and Bai Qiwei stopped in unison, Lao Cai's words had already been spoken. The expression of the middle-aged man outside the door became extremely embarrassing in an instant, but Bai Su said afterwards that her expression must be a bit more awkward than that of the person outside the door. The middle-aged man outside the door was not very fashionable, his hair was quite messy, and he hadn't shaved for a few days. He looked a little unremarkable, but there was a majestic self-confidence in his expression, and, that kind of The inattentive, naturally elegant temperament is not something that ordinary people can possess.

In fact, as soon as Bai Su saw him, he recognized who he was. Bai Qiwei called him an "art master", which is not an exaggeration at all. He is indeed a master artist, a master artist recognized by the world. To be more precise, he is a master sculptor who specializes in portrait sculpture. I don’t know how many reputations have been added to him, such as "modern Rodin", "Oriental Cellini" and so on. His portrait sculpture works use various All kinds of materials, each piece of work has won the praise of art critics, and naturally it has become the object of acquisition by art museums all over the world.

His creative attitude is very rigorous, even if a statue is close to the completion stage, as long as he finds a little bit of dissatisfaction, he will immediately destroy it completely.Therefore, in his more than 20 years of artistic career, there are only 67 portraits of him. He also has a strange temper, which is to insist that his portrait sculptures should be the same size as real people.Before the construction of his early work "Jesus Christ Statue", many experts were invited to verify the height of Jesus. As a result, it is said that the error will never exceed one millimeter. Another act of his that shocked the art world in the world was that a photographer took more than a dozen of his works into very exquisite photos, and published a special collection of his works. In the explanatory text, he praised It is extremely high, and there is even a sentence like "God created man, and he copied man according to God's creation". However, as soon as this collection came out, the art master was furious and sued the general, demanding astronomical compensation. His reason was: his works are sculptures, and they must not be transformed into photographs. The photos that are bigger and different in size from the original work are the biggest distortion and insult to his creation. To know the artistic achievements of his creation, you must face his original work to appreciate... Wait, there are a lot of reasons. And his reasons were accepted by all levels of courts after several lawsuits. Not only did the large-scale publishing house that published the collection go bankrupt, but all the sold collections were also not allowed to circulate.And after he received a huge amount of compensation, he donated all of it to the East African victims who were starving and dying in the long-term drought. In the same year, he created a portrait sculpture entitled "Hunger", which once again shocked the art world. . In my study room, there is a collection of paintings that caused the lawsuit. At the top of the collection, there is a huge photo of him, so Bai Su can recognize him at a glance.Bai Qiwei had never met him in person, and naturally he had seen his photos, so he knew him. This master artist is an oriental—we only know that he is an oriental. He may have Chinese, Indian or Japanese ancestry in him. He has a very Chinese name: Liu Ju. People are always a bit snobbish, so it makes a big difference if Lao Cai offends a tramp with such a rude attitude, or offends an artist like Liu Ju. Immediately, Bai Su was full of apologetic expression and tone, stepped forward and said: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Liu Ju, I didn't know it was you, I really didn't know it was you." Lao Cai rolled his eyes, naturally he couldn't figure out what the background of this seemingly inconspicuous middle-aged man was.While Bai Su was speaking, he muttered in a rather high voice: "I haven't seen my brothers and sisters for a long time, I don't know how much to say, I just have to be sensible." Bai Qiwei hurriedly pushed him, and said repeatedly: "Go! Go! Go! It's none of your business here!" After Bai Qiwei pushed Lao Cai in, Liu Jucai who was outside the door let out a sigh of relief: "Your housekeeper──" Bai Qiwei hurriedly laughed and said: "When the old man is a bit rebellious, Master Liu, don't be offended!" Liu Ju shook his head slowly, and walked in at Bai Su's invitation. Bai Su naturally welcomed Liu Ju's visit very much, but it happened that Bai Qiwei came. The siblings did have a lot to say, but they had already offended him just now, so she couldn't neglect her at this time, so she had to put Bai Qiwei aside for the time being. First introduced himself, then introduced Bai Qiwei, and then said: "Wesley is really not here, what can Mr. Liu say to me, it's the same!" Bai Su never imagined what would happen if an art master like Liu Ju came to me, but as usual, he would always ask this question. Bai Qiwei had already walked over, took the wine and the wine glass, poured a glass of wine, and handed it to Liu Ju.Liu Ju took it and drank it down, and Bai Qiwei quickly poured him a second glass. Only then did Liu Ju speak: "That's right, I have a friend who knows Mr. Wei, and I heard him talk about Mr. Wei's achievements in exploring many incredible phenomena—" He paused, and then said: "Naturally, many of Mr. Wei's achievements are actually Mrs. Wei's achievements!" Bai Su smiled, and Bai Qiwei said with a smile: "It seems that the master is not only good at shaping people, but also good at flattering people!" Bai Qiwei's words should have made the atmosphere of the conversation much easier. Bai Su was very happy to hear that, and felt that Bai Qiwei had matured and was quite sophisticated. However, after hearing this, Liu Ju frowned and sighed, a bit like talking to himself: "I am good at shaping portraits? After... having that experience, I completely lost myself. Confidence!" Both Bai Su and Bai Qiwei didn't know what kind of blow this master with such a high status in the world's art world had received, so that he would say such words, they looked at each other in astonishment, and waited for him to continue. He stayed for a while, and then said: "Impossible, there must be some incomprehensible weirdness in this, so after I thought about it for three days and couldn't figure it out at all, I decided to ask Mr. Wei for advice. I came here a bit presumptuously." ..." Bai Su hurriedly said: "No, no, welcome!" Liu Ju sighed again, took another sip of wine, and said, "Three days ago, I visited a wax museum." As soon as he uttered these words, Bai Qiwei straightened up first, expressing his astonishment.How could a world-renowned sculptor who specializes in portrait sculpture become interested in the Wax Museum?Most of the exhibits in the wax museum are vulgar and cannot be called works of art at all. As such an excellent portrait sculptor, Liu Ju is of course good at capturing every movement of the human body, and he also knows what these movements represent. Therefore, even though Bai Su and Bai Qiwei didn't say anything, Liu Ju could still know what he said, causing the other party's astonishment and bewilderment. Therefore, he explained: "Originally, I would never be interested in the Wax Museum, but I have two students who have seen it--I came here to give a short-term lecture at the invitation of the Art Department of the university." of." Bai Su hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, there was a special report on Da Jia's visit in the newspaper." Bai Su is trying her best to make up for Lao Cai's mistakes, although it seems that Liu Ju no longer cares about the unhappiness just now. Liu Ju continued: "These two students are extremely talented in my opinion. They asked me to visit the wax museum over and over again, and told me about their own visits. The wax figures they saw were too shocking, so they only saw the third showroom, and ran away without the courage to look any further.” When Bai Su heard this, he said "ah", "Yes, we have a friend who also visited this wax museum, and after seeing it, he strongly recommended us to see it." Liu Ju's expression was a little nervous: "Have you gone?" Bai Su shook his head: "No." Liu Ju heaved a sigh of relief, smiled bitterly, and murmured: "If you have seen it, I'm afraid you won't call me a master of art anymore." Upon hearing this, Bai Qiwei stood up abruptly: "Master Liu, aren't you saying that the artistic value of the exhibits in a wax museum will be higher than your works, huh?" Liu Ju didn't answer this question directly, but put his hands on his forehead: "Those two students only missed saying that the statue in the wax museum is better than my work, and they said it many times. , it inevitably aroused my curiosity, so I went." When he said this, he paused for a while, and then described in detail his experience in the wax museum. The wax museum he was talking about was naturally the one in Miduan.Coincidentally, when Liu Ju was describing his experience to Bai Su and Bai Qiwei, I happened to be in the wax museum, repeating his experience. Liu Ju's experience in the Wax Museum three days ago was the same as mine, so there is no need to repeat it.The difference is that, as an outstanding portrait sculptor, he enjoys a great reputation all over the world, so naturally he will be more shocked and have deeper feelings. So, a different situation happened when he went through the four showrooms.Same as my previous situation, in the end he was alone, accompanied by Mi Duan, and visited the fourth showroom. After reading it, he was so excited that he almost went crazy, held Mi Duan's arm tightly, and shouted: "Where is the artist? This is simply too great, and I want to announce it to the whole world." He not only yelled, but also shook Mi Duan's body vigorously, and kept yelling: "Please come out, please come out." Mi Duan's answer was very cold: "The author doesn't want to meet people." (This is different from my experience. I guessed that Mi Duan was the author, and he admitted it.) Liu Ju got angry at that time, pointing at Mi Duan and scolding: "You kind of philistine has no right or qualification to take such a great art as your own, and you have no right to hide the artist from the world. Contact, you vile philistine—" Not only did Liu Ju fail to recognize Mi Duan as the author of these statues, but he also regarded him as a despicable art dealer, thinking that he did not introduce the artist because he wanted to monopolize his works and make profits from exotic goods. Mi Duan didn't refute his accusation, but just listened coldly until Liu Ju himself reported his name: "Do you know who I am? My name is Liu Ju." He thought that the other party would at least express some consternation at the name. Who knew that after hearing this, Mi Duan just said coldly: "I'm sorry, I have never heard of your name." This time, Liu Juqi almost fainted. Their conversation took place in that yard. After Mi Duan finished speaking, he went in and closed the door. Liu Ju slapped the door, but his hands hurt from slapping, and Mi Duan never opened the door again. Liu Ju rushed out of the yard in a hurry, and went around to the front door, which was also closed. He knocked and kicked the door again, until two policemen came, trying to drive him away as a madman. But Liu Ju is not willing to stop here. He has been engaged in portrait creation all his life, and those portraits have dealt him a psychological blow that is unparalleled. He argued with the two policemen, and the police took him to the police station until the next day. After figuring out his identity, he was released.He didn't even have time to receive an apology, and immediately rushed to the wax museum. When he arrived at the Wax Museum, Mi Duan happened to be speaking to several visitors. As soon as Mi Duan saw him, he asked him to leave politely. Liu Ju forced himself in. As a result, two more The police took him away by force. As Liu Ju, he repeatedly "provoked troubles", embarrassing both the university authorities and the police. The police handed him over to the university.But Liu Ju was the object of adoration by the students after all. After watching it for one day, he couldn't stand it the next day, so he slipped out again. This time he learned his lesson. Before going to the wax museum, he changed his appearance a lot. Mi Duan didn't recognize him, so he took him and a few other people to visit again. This time, Liu Ju also got a little cunning and made some tricks. He didn't believe that such vivid portraits were made of wax, so before he went, he brought a sharp knife and prepared to scrape some of the materials of the portraits, to study what kind of material was used to make them. So vivid, it can be said that it is the greatest work since human beings have statues. It should not be very difficult to achieve this goal. During the whole visit, although Mi Duan has been paying attention to the reaction of the visitors with piercing eyes, there is always an opportunity to take advantage of it. However, when Liu Ju did this "hands and feet", what happened was quite astonishing. The following is his narration: "Although this is the second time I have seen those portraits, the shock in my heart is still the same. Originally, I was very disgusted with the fact that mechanical devices were installed on wax figures in order to pursue realistic effects, and I have always opposed it. , I think that is a very vulgar practice, it is an insult to art. "However, after looking at these statues, I can't help but admit that all the arrangements here are really ingenious, raising the shock of art to people's souls to an unrivaled level. "I held the knife in my hand, waiting for the opportunity. In the showroom of Yue Fei and his son, I had the opportunity to strike. There were two visitors standing between me and that philistine—" (Liu Ju never knew that Mi Duan was the author of these portraits.] (When he was talking about this, his voice trembled a little, which was naturally because what happened next made him inexplicably horrified, and he still had lingering fears at this moment. ) "As soon as I saw the opportunity came, I immediately stretched out my hand and pressed on the arm of Yue Fei's statue. I have been engaged in portrait sculpture of various materials all my life. What materials are used? Generally speaking, just touch and touch , you can know. "At that time, when I touched it, the boss was shocked. My...fingers actually told me that...it was not made of any material, it was...real human skin...and even had body temperature. " (When Liu Ju mentioned this point in the tape, Bai Qiwei's undisguised laughter broke out, and Bai Su whispered her brother's polite advice.) However, Bai Qiwei still expressed his opinion: "Master, you may not think that those portraits are all real people." Liu Ju's voice was sometimes rumbling, full of hesitation: "Please...listen to me." Bai Qiwei said again: "It's a kind of soft plastic. I've seen a dummy made of that special soft plastic. Indeed, just by touching it, it feels almost the same as a real person. The Japanese are very good at this. road." Liu Ju didn't argue, but said, "Please...listen to me." Bai Su hurriedly said: "Please speak, please speak." Liu Ju said: "After being shocked, I naturally had to follow the plan, so I immediately used the tip of the knife to scratch the back of the portrait's hand. I just rowed down..." (Liu Ju couldn't help repeating every sentence, and Bai Qiwei's laughter came out again.) Bai Qiwei said: "What's the matter! Don't tell us, as soon as you stroke down, blood will flow out." Liu Ju let out a cry of surprise: "That's exactly what happened. I made a small cut, and the blood gushed out, just like a cut on the back of a real person's hand." (In the tape, there is a long silence and Liu Ju's gasp.) (That's naturally why Liu Ju's words are so surprising.) (It was Bai Su who broke the silence.) Bai Su's tone was very cautious: "I think... these portraits are most likely the crystallization of science and art. Since there are mechanical devices that keep blood coming out of the portraits, then the red liquid that acts as blood may be in the It flows through the portrait, so when you cut the portrait, the red liquid will flow out." After another period of silence, it was Bai Qiwei's voice: "Why, Master disagrees with this reasonable explanation?" What Liu Ju said was still the same sentence: "Please listen to me...continue." Bai Qiwei's voice was a bit exaggerated: "God, don't tell me, you cut off a small piece, took it back and studied it, it's real human flesh." Liu Ju said: "No, no." Bai Qiwei added another sentence: "Thank God." Liu Ju sighed: "But it's about the same." (Listen to the tape and heard this, even I was shocked. What is "about the same"? Liu Ju's words followed Bai Qiwei's words, so anyone may wish to think about what "about the same" is Meaning, it's really impossible not to be surprised.) (Of course, at that time, Bai Su and Bai Qiwei were also surprised, so there was another period of silence.) Bai Qiwei smiled dryly: "Please explain." Liu Judao: "At that time, when I saw blood flow out of the place cut by the knife, I was really surprised. Just at this time, a visitor covered his face and ran away. At that time, I was so panicked that I didn't dare I stopped and escaped with the visitor. When I got to the street, I realized that I hadn't done what I wanted to do, but I couldn't go back. "I was still holding the knife in my hand, and my palms were full of cold sweat. I saw a little blood on the knife. Suddenly, I had a very weird thought in my heart. I felt that... it might be possible. It is real human blood, because in those showrooms, there is indeed a strong smell of blood. The smell of blood may be the conditioned reflex of the sense of smell caused by the visual shock, or it may be the smell caused by chemical synthesis. It's also possible that it's... the smell of real blood." "So, after I returned to university, I immediately asked an assistant professor of the medical school to do a test for me." "What I have to explain is that as soon as I had this weird idea, I felt extremely nervous; this idea can be said to be the most bizarre idea in my life, and the knife...is very sharp. I also cut some of my hands." Bai Qiwei's laughter broke out suddenly. It can be imagined that he was also very nervous because of Liu Ju's narration, and he was listening to it with bated breath, but when he heard Liu Ju say that, naturally he couldn't help laughing anymore, so his laughter, It sounded almost unbearable. While smiling, he said: "The knife cut and bit your crotch, once tested, it must be human blood!" Liu Ju said: "Yes, the result of the test is that the knife is stained with human blood. This is the test report, please read it yourself." (After the sound of papers being handed over, Bai Qiwei and Bai Su both exclaimed simultaneously.) (When I listened to the tape and heard this, I was very anxious because I didn't know what the test report said. Fortunately, Bai Qiwei's words gave me the answer immediately.) After Bai Qiwei exclaimed, he immediately said: "There are two people's blood on the knife, one is type B and the other is type O." Liu Judao: "I am type B, type B blood is mine, and type O blood... that type O blood..." His voice trembled involuntarily, and then, after a long silence, Bai Qiwei said in a very strange voice: "The blood type O, could it be 'Yue Fei'?" Liu Ju swallowed his saliva: "It's that portrait, it's not a statue, it's a real person." Liu Ju's voice, in the last sentence, sounded very sad. When I heard him draw such a conclusion, I couldn't help but be aghast.Because I just came back from that place, of course, because of the lifelikeness of the portrait, it will definitely give people the feeling that it is a real person, but of course it cannot be a real person, it is absolutely impossible. There is another type of blood on the knife besides Liu Ju's own blood, which can be explained elsewhere, and it must not be extended from this point to the fact that those people are real people. The reason why I am so sure is that those portraits are constantly bleeding, which is naturally the circulation of the mechanical device. If it is a real person, there will be so much blood to flow. This is the simplest common sense question, and there is no room for super special imagination.Sure enough, Bai Qiwei also raised this point to refute. However, Bai Su had a different opinion: "The best way is to go to that wax museum." Liu Ju immediately said: "Yes, I came to see Mr. Wei, just to ask Mr. Wei to take a look after expressing my views. Those portraits are really weird." Bai Qiwei said: "What are you waiting for, we'll go right away." Then, there was a recording of Bai Su saying to me: "Let's go and see, if you come back, listen to the tape first." After I finished listening to the tape, I immediately checked the time. It took me about an hour. The note left by Bai Su was at 9:03. After I got home, because the shock continued, I didn’t start listening to the tape until ten o’clock. It is eleven o'clock. I estimate that there are only a few minutes between the three of them leaving to go to the Wax Museum and my return. If I come back a few minutes earlier, or they leave a few minutes later, we can see each other. Now, it had been more than two hours since they left, and there was really no reason for it to take that long. Of course, the three of them "going to have a look" definitely did not follow the proper path to visit, but sneaked in.With the abilities of Bai Su and Bai Qiwei, not to mention stealing into the Wax Museum in Miduan, even stealing into the Soviet State Security Bureau is more than enough, and there will be no accidents.Why don't you come back?Could it be that Mi Duan found out and alerted the police again? It is not impossible, because Liu Ju went with him, and he is not an expert. After thinking about it for less than a minute, I decided that I would go again and see what happened. I went downstairs, went out, and as soon as I went out, I saw Bai Su's car approaching at a high speed. The driver of this kind of rampage is naturally not Bai Su. The car came straight towards me, and I jumped away to avoid the oncoming force, and the car stopped, and almost didn't go straight into the gate. After the car stopped, the lights were not turned off immediately, the door opened, and Bai Su got out of the car first, her face looked very pale, and her whole body was soaked and covered with ashes, and she looked extremely embarrassed. Then, Bai Qiwei also got out of the car, the situation was not much different from his sister, I saw this situation, I couldn't help being very surprised, they went to the Wax Museum in Miduan, how could they come back in such a state? What surprised me even more was the expressions of the two of them, Bai Su was helplessly sad, and Bai Qiwei was very angry. It suddenly occurred to me that there should be another person: Where is the master artist Liu Ju? Seeing the solemn expressions of the two of them, I reached out to Bai Qiwei to make the atmosphere more relaxed: "Long time no see, what did you do? It seems that there is a fire somewhere, and you participated in the firefighting?" Bai Su sighed: "Let's talk after we go in!" The three of them walked together, Bai Qiwei took off his soaked coat and threw it away forcefully. I said, "Why, what did I say wrong?" Bai Qiwei frowned: "No, you're right, we not only put out the fire, but also tried to save people in the fire, but we didn't succeed!" I was stunned: "That wax museum... caught fire?" Bai Qiwei snorted: "Yes, just like the horror movie many years ago, when the secret was about to be discovered, all evidence was burned in a fire." I shook my head: "I've listened to all the tapes left behind. I think Liu Ju's suspicion is unreasonable. Ah, you just said to save people? Whom? The owner of the Wax Museum is called Mi Duan. Have you been rescued?" Bai Qiwei and Bai Su looked at each other, as if they had never heard the name Mi Duan before. I hurriedly said: "That person is the one who made those statues. If you have seen those statues, you will definitely admit that he is the greatest statue artist in the world!" Bai Su and Bai Qiwei replied in very frustrated voices at the same time: "No, we didn't see those portraits."
