The monk of the way of beauty

Chapter 54 Help

The museum's poor protection caused the robbery, so when faced with the request of the three jewelers, they could only bite the bullet and agree, but a large number of people were deployed around the exhibition hall to prevent anyone Frantically looting during the day.

Because of the restart of the jewelry exhibition, a large number of models have been rehired to wear various jewelry on the catwalk for display.

77 Diamond Company and Rio Diamond, a New York jeweler, are rich and powerful. For them, the piece of jewelry lost last week was not worth a fraction of their entire property. On the contrary, it was diamond merchant Scott West, who took a breath this time. It was not easy for him to come up with two top jewels that could beat the two major jewelers, not to mention that he borrowed the Derry gems from the Natural History Museum in London through his relationship, and lost three jewels at once. It should be very painful for him.

But people couldn't see anything unusual on Scott West's face, they saw him talking and laughing happily among the crowd with a smile on his face.Someone couldn't help asking this question, and Scott West was a little fortunate to give an explanation at this time.

It turned out that he had already bought two insurance policies from the insurance company before the jewelry exhibition started, so the two gemstones that belonged to him were robbed, which did not cause much damage to him, because after a while, the insurance company will verify the insurance. After that, the two insurances will be paid to him.

As for the Derry gem that originally belonged to the Natural History Museum in London, Scott West also advocated buying an insurance policy for a period of time, but the gem did not belong to him. Without the consent of the Natural History Museum in London, such a large amount of insurance would be He can't buy it alone.

However, this reasonable request was rejected by the Natural History Museum in London. They did not agree to lend the gem to the outside world. It was Scott West who forcibly borrowed the gem through a connection they could not refuse. So once something happens to the jewel, Scott West will naturally have to pay for it in full.Of course, he doesn't need to borrow this gem.

For some ulterior purpose, Scott West forcibly borrowed this gem without purchasing insurance.And now, it was time for the people of the Natural History Museum in London to ask him for a debt.

Of course, Scott West did not introduce these things to everyone, and there was no worry on his face.

When Beckett came to the side hall, it happened that Scott West had just finished telling the crowd about these things, and Ling Xiao took it as an interesting story and told it to Beckett and Esposity who came to investigate the case support.

"Oh! So, this Mr. West doesn't have much to lose?" Beckett looked at Scott West with some scrutiny, which has a lot to do with the situation they have now. big discrepancy.

Ling Xiao smiled lightly, and said: "Actually, it's not just him, the losses of the other two are not as big as imagined. They also insured the gems they exhibited according to the usual practice, but the amount is not as high as that of Weiss. It's just that big."

"So that's what happened." The ignorance of this industry made Beckett almost miss a big motive. Things like defrauding insurance don't only happen in homicide and arson cases.But she quickly turned her head to look at Ling Xiao, and asked curiously: "By the way, Ling, why are you here?"

"Oh, I'm here to do beauty work for my clients." Ling Xiao pointed to Michaela Baines who was standing near the backstage.Laughing, he said to Beckett, "This is also a household registration job."

"Is that the big star Michaela Baines?" Esposito looked in the direction of Ling Xiao's finger and opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"Yeah, how about it, Javier, do you need me to introduce you?" Ling Xiao looked at Esposito and raised his eyebrows slightly, making an expression that a man could understand.

"Oh, this?" Esposito was about to agree, but suddenly saw Beckett's livid face, quickly shook his head, and said, "Let's talk about this later, I'm working now."

"Work?" Ling Xiao frowned slightly, and said, "Isn't this case being investigated by the State Bureau of Investigation? How did it get into your hands?"

"We have already formed a joint investigation team with the State Bureau of Investigation. You just need to know about this matter yourself, and don't disclose it to the outside world." Beckett pondered for a while, and then narrated the matter to Ling Xiao.

Sure enough, it was natural, Ling Xiao's complexion sank slightly, he was a little aware of it when he saw Beckett appearing here just now.Before Ling Xiao had found out that Beckett was responsible for investigating the murder of the boss of the man in black, and now that she appeared in this place, it was obvious that they had linked the two cases together, and it could even be said that they had figured out the whole thing. general context.

For Beckett, Ling Xiao has a very deep understanding. This girl can change from a patrolman to a police detective in a few years, and even become the team leader of a team. It is extremely rare, and her ability can be seen from this.

The change of expression on Ling Xiao's face did not deceive Beckett, but she thought he was worried for her, after all, this case was really eye-catching.In the entire history of the American continent, it is rare to rob a museum so openly and fiercely. It is not easy to solve this case.

"Don't worry, after all, the State Bureau of Investigation is leading this case. Even if the public wants to blame us, they can't blame us." Beckett explained a little bit, and looked at Esposito, who was beside him. He whispered: "Okay, Javier, you go to another place, I have something to talk to Ling Xiao."

"Okay, I got it!" Esposito nodded, and left without the slightest hesitation. He also knew about the relationship between Ling Xiao and Beckett, and even Beckett asked Ling Xiao to investigate her mother's murder. He also knows something about this matter, but he knows nothing more.

Seeing Esposito walking away, Ling Xiao dragged Beckett to an empty corner, and said in a low voice, "Kate, I've been looking for you all this time, and I've sent you several text messages You didn't return either."

"Why, do you have a clue about that matter?" Beckett had actually seen the text message Ling Xiao sent, but because he was busy with the two cases in hand, he didn't reply to Ling Xiao.

"Well!" Ling Xiao nodded lightly, and said, "Although I found some things, the results were not very satisfactory. Come to the store sometime, and I will tell you what I got. "

"Okay." Beckett didn't ask Ling Xiao on the spot whether he found it. Anyway, this matter has been postponed for more than ten years, and it's not too late.As soon as the conversation changed, Beckett lowered his voice and said to Ling Xiao: "Ling, I need you to help me secretly investigate some clues about this case. About the whereabouts of jewelry, the whereabouts of the robbers, whatever."

Hearing Beckett's request, Ling Xiao smiled helplessly, and said, "My dear Catherine, you are embarrassing me. Things like this can only be found out by a small person like me. So Let’s just say, the level I’ve come into contact with is not at the same level as others.”

Beckett shook his head lightly, and said: "I don't ask for it, I just ask you to pay attention to some of your relations with the Chinese gangsters. After all, if there is such a group of strong people appearing on your site, the Chinese gangsters will It is impossible not to know, and the other is the underground stolen goods network, those few jewels are so famous, there will be news about them."

"Okay, I'll help you pay attention." Ling Xiao nodded helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "But don't expect too much, such things depend more on luck. To be honest, you guys here Pay attention to this aspect, why not check that Mr. West, he is not a simple person!"
