fog city detective

Bobby came up with a bad idea: "Let's cut out the bottom section and tell your friends that your oil painting is always this long."

Liang Xi sneered: "Then we have to order four picture frames, which costs a lot of money."

"Stop." Chris: "I don't feel right."

Liang Xi said: "I also felt that something was wrong."

"originally?"

Liang Xi said: "My first reaction was that your friend colluded with the thieves, and even the auctioneer, and arranged the auction after learning that you wanted to borrow the oil painting. Today the oil painting is stolen, and you have to face huge compensation. But I found that Your friend doesn't care."

Poppy asked, "Can a fake be insured? We insure the fake and throw it away and plant it on the thief."

Liang Xi pointed: "Go and play by yourself."

Bobby: "No, hum." Only myself is trying to solve the problem.The problem has already occurred, so don’t worry about how the problem occurred, and find a way to solve the problem.Liang Xi, you said that it has nothing to do with Chris's friend, so can you chase back the oil painting?

Liang Xi said: "The four obvious fakes, it seems that I don't want you to get away with it, it seems that I want others to know that Ke Dun's painting was stolen. If your friend is an accomplice, it is too suspicious and too straightforward. Could it be your friend? What about the people around you?"

Liang Xi thought about it, and said, "You can take a gamble and explain it clearly to your friend, maybe your friend will forgive you."

"800 million, how can you forgive? How can you forgive?" Chris asked back.

Liang Xi pointed at Bobby: "Shut up."

"Cut!" A group of poor people, 800 million pounds is only enough to buy a private jet, what can they do?

Liang Xi said: "You decide, as a friend, I can pretend that I don't know. How to deal with it is up to you, I can't give you advice." Looking back at Bobby.

Bobby understood that Liang Xi didn't want him to come up with a bad idea, because maybe after Chris adopted it, he would have to bear legal responsibility.It can be said that Bobby doesn't care about money, but Chris is not worth 800 million in Bobby's opinion.20, within [-] can still be considered.

When he was in the hospital a few days ago, Bobby watched a short video. A man was kneeling on the ground, and a woman hit him with bundles of banknotes. The man slapped himself, and the woman threw a stack of money.

According to currency exchange, a stack of coins is about 1000 pounds.Bobby is very happy to use this method to smash the beams. He will start with 2000 million, and when he is tired of smashing, he will hire someone to smash it.Why does Bobby like to smash beams?Because Liang Xi doesn't like this, being able to smash Liang Xi to the ground with money is his own success.If Liang Xi was willing to bark like a dog for a hundred pounds, Bobby would not be in the mood to throw money at Liang Xi.

Chris entered the office and honestly explained to his friend that the oil painting was stolen. The woman was surprised, but she didn't say anything, but she could see that she was very sad.Chris further explained that Ketton's oil painting was auctioned for 200 million pounds last month, and the woman was stunned on the spot.Chris said that he has called the police, and if the police cannot recover the oil painting, then he is willing to compensate his friend for all the losses.

The woman was shocked that her father's oil painting was sold for 200 million yuan. She couldn't believe it at all. She found relevant news on the Internet before accepting this fact.Works of art are priceless. When the first public auction price is generated, all works of this artist will have a reference price.Compared with 800 million, the woman is more sad because the painting was stolen, because it was all the oil paintings left to her by her father.

The woman told Chris that compensation and other matters will be discussed later, and now she must find a way to recover the oil painting.When Chris went out to talk to the arriving police, Liang Xi entered the office.

Liang Xi quietly told the woman that the sale of 200 million yuan last month was money, and the oil painting was not worth the price.If you recover the oil painting, you won't be able to sell it for much money.It's better not to recover it, so that the woman can get a huge amount of compensation.After hearing this, the woman was furious, and scolded Liang Xi to get out, scolding Liang Xi for not knowing what family affection is.

Liang Xi left the office disheartened, and came to the conclusion that this woman really seemed to have nothing to do with the case.It seems that there is only one last possibility. The thief came for the painting, not for the 800 million compensation for Chris.

While the police contacted the white-collar crime investigation department and the criminal investigation department, they blocked the scene for routine procedures and began investigations.After Liang Xi and Bobby took notes, they waited for the preliminary investigation results by the car outside the gallery.

Bobby asked for knowledge: "What's the matter with Keton's oil painting selling for 200 million?" Ask Liang Xi if you have any questions.Everyone was surprised that Keton's painting sold for 200 million yuan, but Liang Xi seemed to know it well.

Liang Xi pondered for a while, then said: "Let me tell you a story. I am the CEO of a company, and my father is the chairman. This year, the profit of my company is [-] pounds. If you make money, you have to say something, right? This money Should I share it with the shareholders, or should I continue to invest in growing the company? I choose to grow the company, and the personnel rights are with the board of directors, but the management power is with me. I plan to increase the company's popularity and decided to invite a celebrity to endorse the company's advertisements."

Bobby was at a loss: "What?" Is there something wrong?The value of the brand is very important.

Liang Xi said: "This star is a bit popular, but not super popular. He is also very happy that he can get this opportunity, so he offered a very low price: 30 yuan. I said no, are you looking down on me by asking this price? I will give you 200 yuan. But if you want to buy something for me, of course you can’t say it so directly. Shortly after the end of the advertising endorsement work, the star suddenly became interested in Keton’s paintings, especially the ones auctioned last month That painting, so I joined the auction. Unexpectedly, there is a fool who likes this painting very much, like it is priceless, artwork is priceless, money is hard to buy, I like it."

Liang Xidao: "In the ostentation, the two of them bid each other high. The star thinks I am a star. I can't lose face to the people of the country. How can I lose to a foreigner in the auction? The other buyer, I am a rich man, I can't lose face. How could he lose to a star in the auction when he had the face of a rich man? So the price soared all the way to 130 yuan, and finally the rich man gave up. The star got his wish and bought his favorite oil painting.”

Bobby understood: "Which CEO is the seller of the oil painting?"

"Yes."

Bobby said: "The CEO transferred the company's profits legally to his own pocket through the celebrity's change of hands."

Liang Xi nodded: "Who is Keton? Although there are not many of his paintings, there are still some. When the first person to eat crabs raised the price of Keton's oil paintings to 200 million. Then Keton's oil paintings are worth 200 million .Maybe Keton's oil painting is tens of thousands of pounds in the eyes of experts and collectors, but in the eyes of money makers, it is 200 million pounds, and the price can even be raised. The risk of the second person who eats crabs is much lower than the first A person who eats crabs. This kind of oil painting will become the favorite product of many professional money laundering companies. Diamonds are not valuable, but merchants give diamonds value, and diamonds represent love, so diamonds are priceless."

Liang Xi said: "The best way for girls to deal with menstruation is to drink hot water. But why are boys who let girls drink hot water criticized by the society? Even straight men have become a derogatory term now? The reason is because of hot water. Water is free, and brown sugar and ginger water is not worth the money. This is not acceptable. It is not in the interests of businessmen. Therefore, the behavior of drinking hot water during menstruation must be severely cracked down. After years of bombing straight men, the health products are not very effective. Because it costs money, it becomes a sign of whether a boyfriend loves his girlfriend or not, and whether his emotional intelligence is high. And many people have accepted this concept."

Liang Xidao: "According to my analysis, after the first person to eat crabs fired Keton's oil painting to 200 million, Keton's oil painting became the first choice for the next person to eat crabs. It is worthless, but someone Given its value, its value is 200 million. Keton’s daughter didn’t know that her father’s paintings were so valuable, but in fact she only sold them for a little money. She didn’t have much value in her hands, nor Maybe someone will pay 200 million to buy a painting from her. A large amount of money is needed to launder the money.”

Liang Xidao: "The wholesale price of Ke Dun's paintings is 200 yuan, and the retail price is [-] million yuan. There is no security, no insurance, and it's hell if you don't get targeted by bad guys."

Poppy asked, "Do you want to take care of this?"

Liang Xi shook his head: "I don't think Thresh intends to ask me to investigate. Maybe he didn't expect that there is a handsome detective beside him, maybe he thinks the police are more reliable than me."

While talking, Chris went out and apologized to the two of them: "Today's art exhibition can only end here, thank you for coming."

Liang Xi and Bobby nodded: "We are all friends, don't see outsiders."

Bobby reminded: "Are you asking Liang Xi to intervene in the investigation?"

Chris said: "I talked to the police detectives. The white-collar crime investigation department is in charge of this case. They are unwilling to allow civilians to accompany the investigation." Of course, Chris knew that the possibility of the police recovering the oil painting was unlikely, but Chris had a team He wants his team to handle it.In addition, Chris is a little afraid of Liang Xi. Once Liang Xi gets involved too deeply, it is easy to dig out his identity.After all, Keton has something to do with his past.Ordinary people may not be able to find the flaws in it, but Liang Xi is different, this guy's brain circuit is very strange.

Taking advantage of yesterday, Liang Xi hurt his Meng Haika plan.Forced himself to start a backup plan, showdown to the police with the face of a bad guy.Chris didn't like it, but he had no other choice.Chris had warned himself that he should overestimate Liang Xi, but yesterday he found that he still underestimated Liang Xi.

In the most recent case, that is, the Junku theft case, I did not consider the variable Liang Xi.Although the employer was satisfied that Junku was properly kept in the end, it was a failure for him.Therefore, in the Menghaika plan, Chris specially made shackles for Liang Xi to ensure that even if Liang Xi reasoned out the core content of the plan, Liang Xi would not be able to change anything, and could only follow the route arranged by the hand of God.

……

Since Chris said he didn't need to help, everyone got in the car after a few words of politeness. Liang Xi habitually scanned the surroundings before getting in the car, because there were always a few stupid or smart thieves who would return to the scene to check.It seemed that Liang Xi had found his target.Diagonally opposite the road, there is an SUV parked on the shoulder of the road about 40 meters away.Liang Xi seemed to have always had this car in his memory.

The SUV is moving!The tonnage of many cars is around two tons. Even if it is a five-ton bulletproof car, when the car is stationary, as long as the people in the car make a relatively large movement, the car will shake.The shaking of the car meant that there were people in the car. Liang Xi remembered that the car had been parked for a long time, and the windows had been kept tightly closed.

Why would anyone?

According to the procedure, the co-pilot and the head of bodyguard should get in the car last. Seeing that Liang Xi was not getting into the car for a long time, the head of bodyguard approached Liang Xi and looked at the SUV.Liang Xi looked at the SUV, tilted his head and said, "Check it out."

Chapter 238 Baker's Love

The chief bodyguard called: "Car No. 1, about 40 meters away, a black SUV in the direction of two o'clock, check the situation and pay attention to safety."

As soon as car No. 1 moved, the SUV moved and drove forward, heading towards Liang Xi and them.On the surface, it looks normal, start slowly and accelerate slowly, not in a hurry.

The chief bodyguard asked, "Is it going to hit or not?"

Children would not want to spend that long in an enclosed space without children.Liang Xi looked down at Bobby, the god of wealth in the car, and said, "Crash the rear of the car."

The chief bodyguard conveyed the order: "Crash the rear of the car."

Car No. 1 draws an arc, travels backwards on the opposite lane, and scrapes the rear of the SUV. The SUV changes from a straight line to a diagonal line.Due to the slow speed of the vehicle, the SUV turned the steering wheel back, then suddenly pumped the fuel, and the tires of the car rubbed against each other making a screeching sound and rushed forward.The bodyguard's No. 1 car had no way to turn around immediately, and the No. 2 car hadn't started yet, so he could only watch the SUV quickly escape.The rear bumper of the SUV and some fragments of the car body were left at the scene.

What's the situation?

Bobby stuck out his head: "Why do you stare at anyone, and whoever has an accident?"

"If you're talking, I'll stare at you."

Very convenient, the police detective is inside, come out to ask, immediately contact the traffic dispatcher to track down the SUV.But even immediately, the time has passed 6 minutes.Because the detective wants to know the situation.Liang Xi himself didn't understand this situation, and subjectively felt that the SUV's behavior was more explosive, which did not conform to the tricks of art theft.

Why escape?If you are guilty of being a thief, what kind of thief are you?It is impossible that the oil painting is still on the SUV, right?If the art thieves come back to check out the spot, if there is no oil painting in the car, there is no need to escape at all.

Surprising!

Liang Xi called Baker: "I have a case here that requires an acquaintance detective."

It is necessary to call the monitoring to check the dynamics of the SUV while it is parked on the side of the road.If you are not an acquaintance, the police will not tell you, or even follow your advice, and call for surveillance as soon as possible.Although Chris intends to let the police handle the theft, Liang Xi feels that the people in the SUV don't look like art thieves.

There are many art thefts in Europe every year, and the biggest feature is non-violence.Violence can lead to an escalation of police attitudes, and it can also lead to the destruction of artworks.Furthermore, after all, most works of art have a safe environment, and the benefits of using cleverness are far greater than violence.

Liang Xi couldn't draw a conclusion, so he whispered in the ear of the chief bodyguard, "Be careful."

The bodyguard nodded.Bobby is a high-value target, and weird things happen around Bobby. As a bodyguard, you don't have to consider other possibilities, just consider the possibility of your employer being attacked.

……

800 million is a huge theft case. The white-collar crime investigation department came in four cars and a dozen people got off and started questioning, investigating and collecting evidence.After learning the basic process of the matter, send someone to find those actors.At the same time, blame Chris for letting the people involved in the case leave the scene?Maybe there is an accomplice of the thief among the actors.

Liang Xi was not spared either. When he just returned to the detective agency, he was summoned by phone to the Baitiao Department to take notes. Since Liang Xi was the one who saw the thief from the front, he needed to draw a sketch together.

"Female, short hair, height between 1.6 meters eight and seventy, weight between 55-65 kilograms. Wearing a mask, with camouflage, can't describe the appearance."

"female?"

"Correct."

"detective?"

"Correct."

"Okay, we'll let you know if something happens." The detective gave Liang Xi a business card: "Call me if you think of anything."

After Liang Xi went out, he saw Baker, who parked on the side of the road and waited for him.After inquiring and learning that Liang Xi was driving, Baker asked his partner to drive back by himself, and he got into Liang Xi's Beetle.

Baker said: "I don't know which of you is in trouble. That SUV is the vehicle that followed you, the license plate, and it was also a stolen vehicle. The SUV followed you from two blocks away. Through this, we chased you to another A vehicle following you three blocks. Still decked out and stolen vehicle, driver wearing mask, sunglasses, gloves."

Liang Xi said: "It sounds like there is scheduling, which is one of the typical behaviors of the gang."

Baker nodded: "Yes, several of our detectives talked about the case on the phone and think that they are likely to target Bobby. But it does not rule out the possibility that you are the target."

Liang Xi asked, "How likely is it that I am the target?"

Baker: "As a friend, I am very responsible to tell you that there is no possibility. I just want to take care of your emotions."

Liang Xi said: "Baker, you have learned badly."

Baker grinned, and said: "We don't have any evidence, and we don't have many clues. We have already notified the Clement family and Bobby's bodyguard company. You'd better make a phone call to make Bobby calm down recently. We are looking for People understand the situation and hope to get some useful information. We guess it may be a kidnapping gang."

Liang Xi said: "It may not be just kidnapping. Bobby is the head of the family and has no children. If Bobby dies, it is very likely that Bobby's father will inherit the head of the family. The difference is that after Bobby's father becomes the head of the house, the quasi-heir is Bobby's brother. Sisters. Poppy being the head of the house, his brothers and sisters have little benefit and no inheritance rights."

"The grievances of wealthy families are the most troublesome, but based on my years of police experience, people in wealthy families will not use deadly force to grab their status unless they have to." Baker said: "Be careful yourself."

"Ok."

Baker said: "I'm hungry after talking so much."

Liang Xi looked at Baker: "Are you... okay?"

Baker smiled a little embarrassedly: "I have a lot of friends, but none of them are suitable for talking about certain things."

Liang Xi: "Isa?"

Baker was speechless: "Why don't you just say it."

Liang Xi: "Isa hasn't answered your calls or texted you for the past two weeks."

Baker was shocked: "You... how do you know?"

Liang Xi: "Did you just say you were hungry?"

Baker clapped his hands: "I treat you."

Liang Xi didn't use his brain, and the logical information surged in his mind, and the answer appeared intuitively.For example, at the blade base last night, Liang Xi used his brains to come up with a possible answer from the comprehensive consideration of water flow, environment and other aspects.Why do you want to break the base where you know the blade?Because Liang Xi needs to verify whether his reasoning is correct.Liang Xi hopes that his reasoning is wrong, so that Liang Xi can find the loopholes in his reasoning, so that he can avoid making the same mistake a second time.

A person grows into a veteran not because he has experienced wind and snow, but because he has suffered too much.

……

During lunch, Baker told a story about himself and Isha.He can only tell this story to Liang Xi, it is not appropriate to tell anyone else.It probably means that during a bar celebration, Isa and Robert had something to do with the boss of the department and joined the party together.I skipped it so much during the party, and ended up sleeping together.

Isa left in a panic the next day. Baker did not give up. He contacted Isa several times by phone. Isa decided to make it clear with Baker and agreed to the invitation.After eating, taking a walk by the river, TM went to the hotel again.After that, the two dated many times and lasted for about a month. Isha suddenly had a showdown with Baker, saying that she wanted to focus on work and family.At the same time, Isa also said that she likes Baker and is very touched by Baker's love for her, but she has no plans to start a new relationship yet.

For the next month, Isha only responded to messages, occasionally answered the phone, and stopped going out to date Baker.Baker is a straight man, and he will be very satisfied when Isa returns a message.Until two weeks ago, Isha cut off all contact with him.

Liang Xi said: "First of all, Isa has been very busy these two weeks, and has almost traveled all over the coast. Secondly, you can't chase Isha like this. If you are really interested in Isa, I suggest you pay attention to Meng Haika. "Liang Xi introduced the situation of Meng Haika.

Liang Xi said: "Although the whole thing is a plan arranged by Thresh for the survival of the Orphan Society, I always think that Meng Haika has his own life in the UK. Everyone thinks this is one thing, but it is actually two things One thing is that Thresh plans Monhaika, the goal is to get the information of the Orphan Association held by MI6. One thing is the fact that Menghaika has lived in the UK for a long time, this part is the background of the plan, not the strategy of the plan.”

Liang Xidao: "Secretly find out the details of Meng Haika, don't disturb others, and wait at the spot. According to the track of Thresh's plan, Meng Haika is not convenient to appear in the UK. What about the people Meng Haika cares about? Or Meng Haika The old trick was repeated, and she sneaked back to the UK to quietly start her own life in the UK. Or people from the Orphan Association will give warmth to her family."

Liang Xi said: "I discovered that Thresh's team has begun to take root in the UK, and Thresh himself is the mastermind of the Monhaika plan. If you are lucky, you may be able to dig out Thresh."

Baker: "When you explained just now, you mentioned that Monhaika's children may have gone overseas."

Liang Xidao: "It's not so easy for a child to change the environment, school, friend, or lifestyle. The greatness of mothers lies in this. They will not deprive their children of happiness for their own needs, but He will sacrifice himself for the happiness of his children. Of course, there are all kinds of possibilities, but there is a fact: Menghaika has at least lived in the UK."

Liang Xi: "Maybe Thresh is very smart, maybe Thresh is a professional planner, but Thresh is not a mother. He will never be able to explain and understand a mother logically. I don't think he even understands women." This is logical.A good planner must be absolutely rational.

Where are the differences in thinking between men and women?A pair of male and female friends quarreled, and the woman was wronged. I just wanted him to coax me, and I didn't want to listen to his reasoning.Men are also wronged: when there is a problem, it must be solved, and it cannot be muddled, otherwise the same problem will occur again.Many boys can't understand women's mentality of wanting to be coaxed after a quarrel. Boys think that after calming down, everyone should sit down and break things up rationally.

Liang Xidao: "I proposed to Daofeng to investigate the top-ranked private elementary schools in the city, because Thresh jumped out directly. This investigation is meaningless to lead pots. Daofeng should not pursue it any further. But you can investigate. You have time , take your time, don't rush."

Baker: "I think you're talking about the case, not Isa."

Liang Xidao: "Isa must be very impressed with you if you handle this case well. You tell her that it's because of her that you work so hard. She must be very moved."

"She's not a little girl." Baker said, "She doesn't have such a personality."

Liang Xi said, "Okay, then you don't have to do anything."

Baker: "You're honest: Are you uncomfortable being defeated by Thresh's plan, and have been trying to save face?"

Liang Xi: "Defeat? He didn't defeat me, I deduced his plan."

Baker: "But you can't change his plans."

Liang Xi thought for a while: "I admit it."
