Special case investigation team V

After the interrogation, everyone discussed the progress of the case.

"Now we only need to catch Tang Zhonghua and the other three. It's strange, where are they hiding?" Bu Huan muttered.

"Maybe he has already left Dashan." Han Bin said.

possible.Cheng Jin said: "No matter what, they will definitely sell those paintings, just wait for them to take the bait."

His two uncles had already greeted friends in the antique art world, saying that they were particularly interested in the few paintings lost in the museum, and asked them to notify themselves as soon as they had news.

Xiao An said: "What if they don't take the bait all the time?"

"They should be eager to realize the painting." Cheng Jin said, "If they can really hold their breath, then they can only be wanted and arrested slowly."

You Duo opened the phone calendar, looked at the date, "How many days do we have to wait here?"

Ye Lai smiled and said, "What's the matter, are you in a hurry to return to Beijing?"

"No, I'll just ask." You Duo explained, "We will definitely not stay here forever."

"Wait a few days and see," Cheng Jin said.

The uncles can probably stay here for another two days. If there is no news in the next two days, Cheng Jin will let them go back first. Everyone has their own things to do, so there is no reason to waste here.

While waiting for the fish to take the bait, the police found out about the security guards in the museum.

In addition to Zhong Ying, the deputy director of the security department who made a mistake, there are two other security guards who also knew about Liu Wenbo's instigation of Zhang Su and Wu Jiaqiang to steal the museum. Yingla went into the water.

The security guard who died unexpectedly due to a heart problem had nothing to do with the theft. Now the museum can't save this expense.

The next day, someone contacted Long Jiu to ask, saying that there was news about the painting—someone wanted to sell the painting, but it was hard to say whether it was reliable or not.

Yang Simi said: "Uncle, I will accompany you."

Long Jiuwen was a little surprised, "Just look at the painting, nothing will happen."

"But Cheng Jin will worry about you. If it's not convenient for him to come forward, then I will accompany you."

Long Jiuwen looked at Cheng Jin, what can he say about his nephew, he is a very good boy, sensible and polite, but always gives people a faint sense of distance, as if there is an invisible wall separating the two sides, crossing It can't be broken even in the past.On the contrary, Yang Simi is like his own son, no, his son is not very close to him, he should be like his grandson.

"..." Cheng Jin smiled, "Second Uncle, ask Si Mi to accompany you. With him here, you don't have to worry about anything."

"Well, he always picks when I'm not around to get hurt secretly." Yang Sishen said to the two uncles.

Cheng Jin, "..."

Both uncles laughed.Long Jiu asked: "Then Si Mi will walk with me."

The people who asked Long Jiu were two ordinary-looking men, one tall and one short, both dark and thin, with a bit fierce face, they didn't look like people who were obsessed with art.

Long Jiuwen glanced at Yang Simi calmly: Be careful, these two people are not quite right.

Yang Simi smiled casually, looked at the two men, and asked, "Do you have the map of the Western Mountain Cold Forest?"

The two men nodded together, they secretly looked at Long Jiuwen and Yang Simi a few times, a gentle old man, a handsome rich man, well, they looked safe.

"Have you brought any money?"

Long Jiuwen coughed lightly, "What about the painting? Can we take a look first?"

"We want to see if you have any money with you first."

"Here." Yang Simi opened the suitcase he was carrying with him, and it was full of cash - props that You Duo lent to the group.

The eyes of the two people suddenly lit up, and the short man quickly took two steps forward, reached out and grabbed a stack of money, flipped it over, it was really money, it was real money, he swallowed it in his throat, turned his head away Watch tall companions.

The tall man's eyes were also fixed on the money.

"What about painting?" Yang Simi asked.

"I have it." The tall man came back to his senses, opened the handbags they were carrying, and took out a painting tube.

Wearing gloves, Long Jiuwen took the painting tube, carefully took out the painting scroll inside, and unfolded it. After unfolding for a short distance, he stopped and looked at the two sellers, "You only brought this painting?"

"Yes, what's the matter? Is there something wrong with the painting? This is the real thing lost in the museum. Take a closer look." The tall man approached with a smile.

Yang Simi heard the words and looked at the painting in Long Jiuwen's hand.

The short man quietly approached the cash box on the table while everyone was looking at the painting.

"You don't need to read any more." Long Jiuwen returned the scroll and handed it back to the tall man.

The tall man frowned, "What do you mean..."

At this time, the short man suddenly picked up the suitcase and ran out, and the tall man also waved his hand to shake off Long Jiuwen and fled. Bending back, there was a click, the man screamed loudly, the short man turned his head and saw Yang Simi holding his companion's arm, raised his foot and kicked his companion's knee, his companion immediately knelt down on the ground, Then he swooped forward again, throwing himself to the ground.

The short man was quite loyal, and immediately rushed back to save his companion. Yang Simi stepped on his companion and looked at him. Under Yang Simi's indifferent gaze, he rushed to Yang Simi in slow motion. When it happened, he was punched twice by Yang Simi. He knelt on the ground with a plop, and the cash box was thrown aside. He put his hands on the ground and vomited blood.

Long Jiuwen, who was still standing there without reacting, silently clenched the scroll in his hand.

Yang Simi frowned, "Uncle, did I strike too hard?"

"Huh?" Long Jiuwen's nerves were still in turmoil, and hadn't returned to the usual state.

"Cheng Jin will definitely talk about me later."

Long Jiuwen gradually recovered. He looked at the two people on the ground, especially the one who vomited blood. This attack was indeed a bit heavy.

Yang Simi said in a low voice: "Uncle, they were the ones who started the attack. I was just defending myself, right?"

"..." Long Jiuwen nodded and replied in a low voice, "That's right, they did it first."

Yang Simi said: "Uncle, you are so kind."

Long Jiu asked a little embarrassed, smiled and said: "You child..."

When Cheng Jin and others came over, Long Jiu asked immediately to speak for Yang Simi: "Those two want to steal money and beat people, my old bones...fortunately, Simi is here, no wonder you said you have him Don't worry, luckily..."

"Uncle, are you okay?" It looked like he was fine, but listening to his words seemed to be going through a dangerous situation.

"I'm fine, isn't Simi here? If there is no Simi today, I must have something."

"Uncle, you're startled..." Cheng Jin wanted to comfort his uncle, but his uncle waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, "I'll take a closer look at this painting." Long Jiuwen walked away a few steps holding the painting in his hand, Pretending to unfold the picture scroll.

Cheng Jin pulled Yang Simi to his side and asked in a low voice, "Are you all right?"

Yang Simi stretched out his hand to Cheng Jin, and said aggrievedly, "Hand hurts."

Cheng Jin looked at Yang Simi's hand, it was not red or swollen, but he still held Yang Simi's hand and rubbed it for him.

Yang Simi leaned into his ear and whispered: "You kiss me and I won't hurt."

"..." Cheng Jin looked around and saw the people in the room, "We'll talk about it when we go back."

Long Jiuwen was very happy to see that Cheng Jin didn't blame Yang Simi. He felt that what he said had an effect. He looked at the painting in his hand with a smile.

Long Jiusi leaned over, "A real painting?"

"fake."

"Which year?" There are also ancient paintings among the fake paintings, which are paintings copied by the ancients.Although it is a fake, it is also valuable. Of course, it cannot be compared with the original.

"A few years ago."

Long Jiusi was very disappointed, "Drink, then you still laugh..."

Two robbers who sold fake paintings were sent to the hospital, where the police took statements for them.

They were not Tang Zhonghua's accomplices, but opportunists who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get a vote after seeing the news of the theft of the museum.

Everyone was very anxious, "What should I do if I don't take the bait?"

Cheng Jin asked Long Jiu, "Second Uncle, you said earlier that you had a friend who saw a damaged painting, can you tell me who he is?"

Long Jiu asked hesitantly, "I'll ask him..."

"OK, thanks."

Long Jiuwen called his friend, told him about the situation, and asked him that he was unwilling to cooperate with the police to catch the thief.The other party expressed reluctance.Long Jiuwen told Cheng Jin, "These old guys are afraid of trouble and don't like to contact the police."

"Forget it. It should be difficult for him to ask the person who steals the painting. After all, he has met him before, and the other party will definitely be on his guard." Cheng Jin didn't ask Long Jiu about the specific identity of his friend.

Next, the two uncles met two groups of painting sellers, but unfortunately they were all fake paintings, and the painting buyers had nothing to do with Tang Zhonghua.

These two times, the other party didn't steal the money, so Cheng Jin told Yang Simi to leave them alone and let them go - so that they could catch big fish for a long time.

The story that a rich young master wanted to buy those paintings in the museum spread all over the black market.

On the third day after the uncles arrived in Dashan, Cheng Jin told them: "This matter will probably not be over for a while. You go back first, and we will investigate slowly."

Long Jiusi said: "I'm not in a hurry, I'll be fine when I go back." He didn't go to work, so he was very free.

Long Jiu also asked, "I'm not in a hurry. I'll go back on Sunday and go to work on Monday." Today is Thursday, which means I can stay for a few more days.He works in the museum as a researcher and is about to retire, but it is estimated that he will be hired back after retirement.

"Okay, then I'll help you book tickets for Sunday." Cheng Jin said.

After two days, the rich young master's reputation must have been established.

Tang Zhonghua came to the door.He was very careful, paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, and then quickly evacuated with the cash box.It's a pity that the police have already set up an ambush. Unless they grow wings, they can't escape at all.

Bu Huan said with a smile: "Amateurs are amateurs."

"Shut up. Nothing good will happen if you talk big."

Um.Sure enough, Bu Huan was quickly slapped in the face.

There were three people in Tang Zhonghua's gang, and only two people came forward to make a deal—Tang Zhonghua and one of his companions. The remaining one hid in the dark and slipped away when he found something wrong.

The police later arrested the man based on the address provided by Tang Zhonghua, but failed to catch him. The man fled with a half-painted painting.

Cheng Jin said: "Notify the train station and the bus station, let them check it more strictly, and don't let him run away." The other party is short of money, so he probably has to choose the most common and affordable means of transportation.

"it is good!"

After talking about the most important thing, Cheng Jin began to pay attention to the details, "Why do you say it is a half painting?"

It turned out that Tang Zhonghua explained it this way: they stole three paintings from the museum in total, one was sold to Yang Simi not long ago; It can be counted as half; another one is intact.

"No, shouldn't it be four?"

Tang Zhonghua replied: "We only took three pictures, and the other one must have been taken by someone else, don't blame us."

Where else is there anyone else?There were only two groups of people who went to steal the paintings that night.

Apart from these two groups of thieves, the only ones who have been to the scene are the security guards.But the security guards of the museum and the police have checked it, and there is no problem.

Yang Simi said, "Re-examine the security guards we arrested earlier."

"Yeah." Cheng Jin nodded.Previously, the trial was mainly about letting thieves in, but I didn't think about whether they fished in troubled waters and guarded themselves.

Cheng Jin sent people to interrogate Zhong Ying and others, and at the same time arranged for the police to search Zhong Ying and others' homes.

In the end, I found the fourth painting in Zhong Ying's home. It was a painting by a famous modern painter. Although it was not a famous painting by an ancient painter, this painter had superb painting skills and his works were highly rated. His representative work was once sold at an auction. It was sold for a high price of 5000 million.

Cheng Jin went to ask Zhong Ying, "Why did you take this painting?"

"This painting originally belonged to my family."

It should be said that this painting once belonged to their family.

Ten years ago, this painting was in the collection of Zhong Ying’s father. At that time, his father invited experts to help identify the authenticity. The other party said it was a fake. Later, his father transferred the painting at a low price and sold it for tens of thousands of yuan. , Later, I heard that it was actually the real thing, and it was resold at a high price of several million. His father wanted to sue the expert, but he failed, because he was unhappy about this matter, and finally died of depression.

Zhong Ying said that when he saw the painting in the museum, he was very upset.But he didn't plan to do anything at first, but someone came to steal the paintings that night, and batch after batch came, he acted impulsively and took advantage of the chaos.

You Duo said: "I think he lied. He probably thought of taking the opportunity to take the painting when Liu Wenbo came up with the bad idea of ​​stealing his own collection."

"It's very possible. Otherwise, why would he take the risk to help Liu Wenbo do that kind of thing? Liu Wenbo didn't give him a lot of money."

"Hmm, that's right."

Long Jiuwen sighed, "I never thought this painting would be so harmful."

Yang Simi looked at him, "It's not that paintings hurt people, it's people who hurt people."

Long Jiuwen nodded, then took a light breath, and looked at Cheng Jin with determination, "Actually, this painting is fake."

"Ah?" Didn't it mean that it was worth several million ten years ago?

"The expert didn't lie to his father back then. This painting is indeed fake."

Long Jiusi immediately picked up the magnifying glass, squinted his eyes to look at the painting, "Where is it fake?"

Long Jiu asked: "It's all fake. I painted it."

"..." Long Jiusi pouted, and dropped the magnifying glass in his hand.

Cheng Jin looked at the painting, "Why didn't those experts see it?"

Long Jiu asked: "It's more difficult to forge ancient paintings, because ancient ink and paper are hard to come by, but modern paintings don't have this problem, as long as the paintings resemble them."

"But, it's very difficult to draw like it?" Xiao An said.

Long Jiu asked: "Looking at people is difficult for some people."

"..." No, it is very difficult for the vast majority of people. There are almost no people who can successfully forge paintings of famous people. Those who are capable of doing this kind of thing don't need to imitate others. He has the ability to become famous by himself.

Long Jiusi said to Cheng Jin: "Your second uncle's paintings are not bad, let him give you a few. After a hundred years, maybe his paintings will sell for hundreds of millions."

"..."

Tang Zhonghua's accomplice was later arrested at the train station.

Bu Huan continued: "All you need to catch this kind of amateur criminal is time."

No one talked about him this time. After all, all the suspects have been arrested.

Before the uncles left Dashan, Cheng Jin invited them to the restaurant on the ship for dinner.

It's not bad for everyone to eat while watching the river view.

Long Jiu praised: "This boat is really good..."

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "Simi has always said that he wants to come and sit down, and he wants to come with you."

Long Jiuwen said with a smile, "Good boy, I know I'm thinking of my uncle." His tone was exactly the same as when he praised his children.

"..." Long Jiusi smiled without saying a word.When he said that the boat was good, he just said that the boat was stable, because he was seasick, if there was a storm and the boat shook, he would spit out all the food he had just eaten.

After the uncles left, Cheng Jin and the others were also preparing to leave.

The Public Security Bureau insisted on treating them to a farewell meal.

Cheng Jin casually said, "Then shall we eat in the cafeteria?"

Then eat in the cafeteria.

The deputy director in charge of criminal investigation toasted Cheng Jin and put liquor in a glass.

Cheng Jin, "..." Is this bureau against him?

Yang Simi said: "He can't drink."

The deputy director, who is over fifty years old, said with a smile, "I'll drink it, the Cheng team can do whatever they want."

He toasted three cups in a row and drank every cup.

Cheng Jin, "..." This bureau does have a grudge against him.

Cheng Jin didn't drink three cups, but took a sip meaningfully.

Later, Cheng Jin heard that the deputy director had stomach bleeding that night and was hospitalized.

Cheng Jin was speechless, and asked the rest of the special case team: "What is he trying to do?"

Bu Huan said with a smile: "What else can you do with a toast? Of course it's to show respect to you. The more you drink, the more respect you get."

Cheng Jin frowned.

"He's afraid of you."

what?

"I'm afraid that your investigation here will not go well, so I will give them small shoes to wear later."

Cheng Jin, "..."

Yang Simi kissed Cheng Jin on the forehead, then looked at him, "Are you still sad?"

Cheng Jin was taken aback, "...it's okay."

Yang Simi kissed Cheng Jin's face again.

Cheng Jin hurriedly said, "Okay, okay."

Yang Simi wants to kiss...

Cheng Jin said: "It's really good."

"A lot of kisses? Then you pay me back."

Cheng Jin laughed.
