Chapter 407: Clearly 'Arrogance'!
"Oh, this "Twin Pine Ping Yuan Tu" is really wonderful. The close-up outlines the pines and strange rocks, and the distant view draws flat slopes and low mountains. It is simple and elegant, and it makes people feel refreshed. It's so happy, so happy!"
A group of old men from the Palace Museum commented on the ancient painting just acquired, intoxicated. After they finished nagging, they grabbed the hand of Team Leader Xiao of the special case team, and earnestly said: "The police comrades have worked hard. These national treasures have been drifting overseas for hundreds of years. Now that the country is strong, it is indeed time to get them back. The follow-up will be sure. Can't go wrong!"
Team leader Xiao's face jumped up and he kept saying hehe. These old men in front of him have no power or power, but they have a detached status and can write letters directly to ****. No one can hold back a big hat of protecting national treasures.
"Yes, yes, we must communicate with this mysterious person and bring back all the subsequent national treasures and cultural relics." Team leader Xiao could only keep agreeing, there was nothing he could do.
Subsequent swaps are increasingly important, according to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's inventory of stolen artefacts. There are bronze ritual vessels from the Western Zhou Dynasty, fine calligraphy and paintings from the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and even cultural pottery from the Stone Age, all of which are treasures that can testify to the thousands of years of Chinese civilization.
Moreover, these things are all witnesses to the history of humiliation in modern China. They were all taken away by foreign devils due to wars and other reasons. It is of great significance to be able to get them back now. If this story spreads, it doesn't matter if you stole it or not, as long as you can get it back, you are capable and a national hero!
If something went wrong with these things, Team Leader Xiao really felt that he might not even be able to keep his job. But the problem is - we are the police! We are the eagle dogs of the country! We are being played around by an inexplicable guy, how can this be human?
"Head, that guy sent another coordinate." The special task force was formed by recruiting elite soldiers from the Ministry, but now everyone is a little annoyed. They not only admire this "hero" who brought the national treasure back to China from the United States, but they also have a headache for this "hero".
As the saying goes, "A chivalrous man uses martial arts to break the ban." Although the gifted returnee did not disrupt society, he is a thief! This is more of a headache than beating and killing. What's more, this is the boundary of the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, you came here to show off, and you still want to keep secret and not reveal your identity, are you tired of living?
Although the superiors have stated that the national treasure is the most important thing, if the special case team has not even found out the opponent after all the national treasures are taken back, then wait to be criticized! And the people in the task force also felt that it was a bit difficult to find out the origin of the opponent in the current situation where the two sides were not in direct contact.
"This bastard is so hateful, where did he hide his things this time?" Hearing that there was a second treasure coordinate, Team Leader Xiao was also furious, he especially hated the opponent's mystery.
He thought to himself: If you, a thief, show up on your own initiative, the country will still protect you for the sake of your merits.
But you are sneaky, if you don't know your details, we feel uneasy! The key is that you want us to sell the stolen goods for you.
"In a piece of farmland near Tongzhou, our people have rushed there." Members of the task force reported the address. Team leader Xiao could only lead a team to keep up, and a group of people rushed to the second treasure spot. When we got there, we found out that it was an abandoned farmland.
There was no one around for miles. And also, it has been raining here for the past two days. The people in the special case team were yelling again: Fuck you, this teasing bastard really keeps throwing things wherever it rains.
"Team leader, why don't we also check the weather forecast and deploy control in advance when we find it will rain." Someone suggested.
Team Leader Xiao glared angrily, "The entire imperial capital is so big, and there are many places where it rains, can we keep an eye on it? Even if you send people everywhere, they are so stupid that they won't go far away?"
A group of people from the special case team were at a loss again, but this time the treasure spot was placed in the Northern Wei gilt-bronze Buddha statue, along with some small cultural relics. These things made those old guys in the Forbidden City laugh from ear to ear.
These treasures were packed in a dilapidated wooden box. In addition to the national treasure cultural relics, there were several paintings by Picasso and Monet. Naturally, the national treasures were given to the Palace Museum, but these foreign paintings had to be sold with the help of the state.
The special case team checked the wooden box, and found some wooden boards on the roadside and nailed it casually. The cultural relics were sealed with packaging bags, and the protection was very good. But the problem is that the size of the Buddha statue is not small, and it is not easy to transport it.
"This guy should have a car. Check the surroundings, visit the people and ask if there are any suspicious people driving around in the past few days. This person should at least have a big wooden box."
It's hard to find someone in the wilderness, but Team Leader Xiao can only follow his own way of searching. As long as you can find out where the car is coming from, you can ask the traffic department to check the road monitoring. With the surveillance video, are you worried that you won’t be able to find the driver?
The special case team also went to investigate with the belief of being loyal to their duties, and never thought that they would be able to find out. But the more unexpected, the more opportunities came. Due to the remote location of this second treasure spot, it is really difficult to transport things here without driving. There are two deep ruts on the dirt road, and even a rain can't completely remove them.
"Hehe... It looks like a heavy truck with a big trailer, and it came from Greater Holland." This discovery made the task force very excited. This kind of car is no different from ordinary cars, and the number is relatively small. On the contrary, it is easier to check.
Team leader Xiao immediately contacted the traffic department and directly invoked the recent road monitoring, but..., nothing was found.
"This car definitely didn't come from the highway. We arranged for grassroots police officers to drive to find it on provincial and dirt roads. It is probably hiding in a remote corner." Team leader Xiao also got angry, borrowing the police from the Ministry of Public Security to find it. The tiger skin mobilized thousands of people to find a heavy truck that might be hiding somewhere.
Not to mention, the People's War is quite effective. After only two days, the policemen finally..., still couldn't find it.
But the mysterious man hiding behind was forced to fail. He simply pointed out the location of the car on the mailboxes of the two parties, "Okay, I knew that you would definitely try your best to find me. Anyway, these things are for you, and it doesn't matter if they are given sooner or later. .”
In the email, in a helpless tone, he instructed Team Leader Xiao to find the semi-trailer in an old garage.
The carriage opened, and the contents inside corresponded exactly to the lost artworks of the Metropolitan Museum in New York. The old men of the Palace Museum were very happy, and happily took away a lot of precious cultural relics. But Team Leader Xiao felt a headache when he looked at the remaining pile of Western artworks.
"This guy is really decisive. He must have found that we were looking for him, so he dumped all these things to us. Without these things, it will be much easier for him to hide or escape."
Team leader Xiao was in trouble again, because the semi-trailer could not continue to be investigated. There are no markings on this car to indicate its origin. In the end, I found an engineer from the heavy-duty truck manufacturer, and then I found out from the structure of the car body that the semi-trailer was a foreign product and should have been smuggled in.
Team leader Xiao still wanted to check the head of the heavy truck, but there was no sign of where the head went? All leads are broken again.
In the mailboxes that the two parties contacted, the mysterious person sent another email, "There are still many national treasures that have been lost overseas. If you still want to take them back, please help me realize those foreign artworks, okay?"
Damn it! We actually asked the police to help realize the cash. This is not cash, this is selling stolen goods. No... it's clearly 'arrogance'! (To be continued.)
