But even if Neil deliberately procrastinates, there are only so many artworks present, no matter how profound his views on art are, he can’t create them out of nothing, so as time goes by—the artworks left in place are getting more and more less, and the box with a very high level of secrecy is even more conspicuous.

Watching Neil brush over the box again and again and reach out to other artworks, even if Peter and the others were puzzled at first, they should understand by now—he did it on purpose!

But why would he do this?Peter was sure that Neil hadn't opened the box to check the contents since they got it, or that until now, everyone present except the original owner of the item probably had no way of knowing what was inside.So why on earth is Neil avoiding it over and over again?

Peter couldn't figure it out.However, he was more inclined to guess that some of Neil's criminal evidence might be stored in it—such as a well-known painting he forged—the kind with a signature.But what made Peter even more puzzled was that he had tracked down Neil for three years. Although he only got evidence of his forging bank bonds until the end, he said bluntly that he knew that Neil had committed crimes during that period. All the crimes of his—it's just a pity he doesn't have any proof.But it was precisely because he knew that he really couldn't figure out when Neil forged a painting or something else, and sold it to the person concerned to defraud money.Could it be something that happened earlier?Peter thought uncertainly.

Although he hasn't figured it out yet, this doesn't prevent him from destroying Neil's plan first—the first point of dealing with Neil Caffrey: Never follow his rhythm!Otherwise, you will definitely be thrown into the pit by him, and your head will be broken! ——Just as Neil stretched out his hand to another work of art, Peter stretched out his hand before him, picked up the box, and put it in front of Neil before he could speak. : "Mr. Isaac, I think you may need to check if there is anything missing in this box first."

"Oh! This!" Just as Neil was sweating profusely in anxiety but didn't know what reason to stop him, he only heard the young rich man smile heartily: "It's okay, don't check it, this box can't be opened in the first place." It’s opened, so—I don’t know what’s inside. But, as long as I find it, it’s fine, after all, their commemorative value is far greater than their actual value to me.”

Peter had nothing to say about the other party's unexpected answer—is the commemorative value greater than the actual value?Is the value of commemoration more important in the eyes of the other party than tens of millions or even over [-] million works of art?For a moment, Peter suddenly felt that it was not worthwhile to pursue this case so desperately, but he turned his head and threw the thought out of his mind.After all, no matter how unreliable these evil rich people and capitalists are, it is his duty as the FBI to protect the rights and interests of citizens. Like stealing from him.Other people's things belong to others, no matter how others treat you, as long as it doesn't harm other people's interests, you have no right to comment.

After all, it's someone else's right, isn't it?

Now that the parties have said that, and the bodyguard behind the other party has already come forward to get the box, Peter has no choice but to let go and return the box to the other party—after all, it is his right to check it or not, they just need to It is enough to ensure that the other party confirms that all artworks have been received without error and all losses have been recovered.And there is no search warrant, and they are not qualified to inspect each other's private property at will. After all, this Mr. Isaac is an invisible rich man. Even their FBI has to deal with this identity carefully.But at this moment, Peter couldn't help feeling a little curious about the true colors of the items in the box. What made a victim unwilling to open the box for inspection in front of the FBI?What made Neil so secretive?

Watching the other party lock the box and carry it away, Neil couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although the danger is not completely lifted, at least they are not with a "time bomb" now.

I don't know if it was because of Peter's trouble just now that the other party finally woke up from the heated art discussion with Neil.

Looking at the UNION watch in his hand, he frowned immediately: "Is it this late? ——The inspection just now is enough to show the FBI's work level, and I believe that the rest of the collection must be intact. I have some other business to do later, so I may have to say goodbye first."

Well, it looks like having money means being busy.Peter Bolk, a busy poor FBI agent, has finally found some strange sense of balance. Of course, he can't stop the other party from letting him go, but—"Sorry, we also have regulations, only if you confirm that there is no damage and You can take the part of the problem with you—you may want to leave your team behind and let them do the rest of the acceptance for you."

"...Regulations?" The young rich man frowned, but in the end he didn't embarrass them, but nodded in compromise: "Okay." Then he turned to the appraiser hired beside him and said: "Then please work hard. Finished the rest of the acceptance."

Of course, the "experts" who take money to do things will not object, and they should do so immediately.

Although Neil was very glad that they escaped unharmed, but—the box was taken away, but it did not mean that the danger disappeared. Although the other party claimed that the box could not be opened, it was obvious from what Lian Wei said. this limitation.If the other party didn't know about this matter, and opened the box out of curiosity—wouldn't he be in danger?Although Neil is not the holy father, he is not a cold-hearted person either, so he naturally couldn't bear to put the other party in danger.

Just as the two sides passed each other, Neil warned in a low voice, "Don't open that box."

Isaac's footsteps paused slightly, but he immediately walked past him with an expressionless face, as if he hadn't heard that sentence.

Watching the other party leave, Neil should obviously be relieved, but for some reason, looking at the other party's back, he felt more and more uneasy.He always felt that there seemed to be something wrong-what was wrong?

But before Neil could figure it out, Peter said coldly, "Caffrey, come with me."

Seeing Peter passing by him and angrily walking towards the office beside him, Neil couldn't help but roll his eyes, Kafri Kafri!Was he afraid that he would not know that he was angry?

But——he definitely didn't dare not listen to Peter's words.

Neil sighed helplessly, and obediently followed Bee to his office.

Before the door was closed, Peter asked in a bad tone: "Neil Caffery! What the hell are you thinking?"

Neil blinked innocently, spread his hands and said, "As you can see, no matter what I want to do, the important thing is that I'm not doing anything right now, is it? Why, don't you believe what you see yourself? "

Peter was choked speechless by Neil, but it was too difficult to convince him that Neil was really willing to do nothing, unless——he was planning something more important, and only in this way could he His attention was diverted from those precious works of art.

But even if he was sure that Neil must have plotted something, but Neil didn't do it, and he didn't have evidence, so doubts could only be doubts.Peter took a deep breath and warned solemnly: "Neil, I tell you, no matter what you want to do, put away your thoughts now! Isaac is not a kind person, those greedy Jews Anything can be done for their benefit!"

"Of course, I know... wait! You said he was a Jew?!" Neil instantly grasped what had been making him feel wrong before.

"Yes. What's the matter?" Peter asked puzzled, but seeing Neil's serious expression, Peter couldn't help becoming serious: "What happened? What did you find?"

"Sxxt! He's not Isaac!" Neil wiped his face fiercely and said bitterly.

Peter also took a deep breath in an instant: "Are you sure? How did you find out?! Do today's thieves dare to enter and leave the FBI so boldly and openly?!" Mr. Detective, who already had a strong sense of justice, seemed to be stepped on Almost jumped up like a cat with a tail.You know, if he is really not Isaac himself, then his previous behavior is simply contempt for the authority of the FBI, and put the FB

I's justice was torn off and thrown on the ground, and I stepped on it hard.

Of course, Neil knew that he had to produce evidence for this kind of thing. After all, he was an invisible rich man worth billions. He bluntly said that the economic lifeline of this country was in the hands of these people. If he could not produce evidence, the FBI He will never listen to his one-sided words.But fortunately, he really has evidence—"Watch! He's wearing a UNION watch. I found it a little strange when I saw it—after all, that brand is too cheap compared to his worth, so it's not It is in line with his status. But no one has stipulated that the top rich cannot be frugal, right? So I am not sure. But his status you just mentioned..."

"Jews?" Peter raised his eyebrows in doubt. What does identity have to do with watches?

"That's right!" Neil said seriously, "How can a Jew go back and buy a 'cheap' watch made in Germany?"

Jews!Germany!Putting these two words together, Peter immediately understood the relationship.Immediately, Peter ignored Neil's affairs, and immediately opened the office door and walked out, calling out to Diana, Jones and others: "Quick! Everyone! Go and chase Isaac who just left! —— If he wants to escape, he can be subdued by violent means!"

"Yes, Sir!" Although they didn't know what happened, but seeing Peter's face, no one dared to ask too much, and immediately the entire elite department began to operate quickly.

But Peter couldn't help unbuttoning his suit irritably, and put his hands on his hips—if it wasn't for the fact that "Isaac" hadn't left yet, he would have chased after him, but since the other party dared to walk in so swaggeringly, The FBI must have something to rely on. You don't need to ask Peter to know that most of their pursuit this time is fruitless.Thinking of the works of art taken away by "Isaac" just now, Peter was so angry that he wanted to scold the street—if the other party took all those works of art away, how would they explain to the real Mr. "Isaac" ? !For such a huge loss, the higher-ups will definitely issue punishment!

Damn it, why didn't he notice that the other person's dress didn't match his identity? !That's a Jew!Since Nazi Germany massacred Jews, there have been many Jews who would rather give up a hundred times their benefits than cooperate with Germany!You must know that although this nation does not have its own country, their stubbornness in some aspects has always been amazing!But it's too late to say anything now.

Peter couldn't help but let out a long sigh, he just hoped it wasn't too late.But even though he was thinking this way, Peter gave the thoughtful Neil a hard look, and warned again: "I don't have time to play games with you right now, put away your little thoughts and be honest with me." Stay on the ground at your job until I get him and we'll talk, understand?!"

"OK~ I'll listen to you." Neil raised his hands in a sign of surrender.

Although Peter didn't really believe his guarantee, he had to give up on this issue for the time being. He passed Neil and walked downstairs quickly - he was going to adjust the surveillance video, and then sent it to arranging technicians for comparison , to confirm the true identity of Mr. "Isaac" as soon as possible - I hope they can recover the batch of artworks again, otherwise...he, the supervisor, may be going to the end.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the door of the elite crime department: "Sorry, sir, please stop, what are you here for?"

The person who was stopped was not at all surprised - after all, he had already spent a lot of effort to sneak into the FBI. If the gate below can still be tricked by trickery, then the gate of the elite crime department is not so good now. It's here—one is not the person involved in the case, and the other is not the family of the detective. Who would let a person of unknown origin wander around in such an important office?Anyway, the FBI doesn't have such a big heart.

However, people who came here also had their own ways of coping. The man with a cold and calm expression nodded, stopped and raised his hand to greet him, "Neil!"

Neil turned his head and saw a familiar face, his pupils shrank slightly, and immediately ran down the stairs, went up to meet him and whispered: "William? How did you come so fast?! Forget it, let's not talk about it, just now someone pretended to be Isaac took that box, now

we should……"

"Neil! Stay away from him!" Before Neil finished speaking, he heard another familiar voice coming from the elevator.

As soon as he looked up, he saw a person who looked exactly like the person in front of him walking towards this side quickly. Before Neil could realize what was going on, Lian Wei dragged him away by the wrist beside the judgment.

Lian Wei slightly turned to protect Neil, and at the same time asked the man in front of him with an unfriendly expression: "What do you want to do?!"
