Chapter 408: The CIA
Sitting at his desk, Xiao Jinlang scratched his head in distress. He was just a small section chief in the Ministry of Public Security, and he usually contributed his part to the security and harmony of the imperial capital. But now he has a problem.
"How should I write this report?" Director Xiao was really stunned. He had been typing on the computer for a long time, and even took out a pen and paper to find inspiration, but he couldn't figure out how to beautify him. The immediate problem.
That's right, this is Team Leader Xiao of the Forbidden City's National Treasure Returning Task Force. They have now successfully completed the task of recovering the stolen cultural relics from the Metropolitan Museum of New York, but the subsequent troubles will be even bigger!
The elders of the Central Committee have instructed that "the national treasure is the most important thing, and the investigation is supplemented." Now that the national treasure is fine, can it be investigated? Such a thing happened at the foot of the emperor, what can we do if we don't find out?
Team leader Xiao was so worried about this matter that his hair was about to fall out, and it happened that members of the special case team came to him, "Team leader, the leaders of the central government are going to inspect the Palace Museum and want to see the recovered cultural relics. The phone calls to ask you to go too."
Xiao Jinlang didn't dare to neglect, quickly took all the materials at hand, and drove all the way to the Palace Museum. After many inspections, he finally saw the country's big boss.
The leader was accompanied by a large group of people, and the dean of the museum came out to explain in person, "This set is a set of bronze ritual vessels from the Western Zhou Dynasty. The so-called 'major events of the country are sacrificed to Rong', the ancestors of our country attached great importance to sacrifices. of,……."
Balabala's big call, to put it bluntly, is that these treasures that have been returned to the country are of great significance and precious. There is also a meaning inside and outside the words, that if there is a follow-up, it must not be missed.
These words are simply politically correct, and the country's big boss can't say that these national treasures that have been lost overseas can be left alone, but can only nod with a smile.
After reading these returned cultural relics, Xiao Jinlang was called over by name and reported to the leader in person. He didn't dare to lie, so he could only explain the current situation on top of his scalp. Simply put, 'Nothing has been found, we are still working hard. '
The central leader didn't say anything, just nodded with a smile, and today's business seemed to be over.
But where is the end of this? On the same day, Xiao Jinlang was arrested by his immediate supervisor, and asked about the work of the task force again with a very serious and serious attitude, and finally scolded Xiao Jinlang, and said, "The national treasure still needs to be recovered." Come back, but the investigation cannot stop. '
However, the leader in charge at least gave Xiao Jinlang an idea, 'If you can't find out for a while, you can make an agreement with the thief not to stir up trouble in the capital's territory, and the influence will be bad. If the national treasure is recovered from abroad, the meaning will be very different. '
Yup,
Leadership is high!
This sentence really awakened the dreamer, Xiao Jinlang expressed his gratitude to his superior with tears of gratitude. Taking things back in the imperial capital does not show the credit of our police, but makes people feel that we are incompetent.
But if it is a foreign exchange, then you can write a special book, and you have all the credit and hard work. And the superior will not have a strong desire to pursue and investigate who is behind this scene? At least going abroad to investigate is a matter of national security, and has nothing to do with our police.
When Xiao Jinlang returned to his office, his heart felt like a spring breeze. He quickly sent a message to the mysterious person's mailbox, expressing his willingness to continue to cooperate, but the location of the cooperation must be changed—absolutely not in China.
Zhou Qingfeng at the other end didn't take this news seriously, anyway, he had already handed in all the cultural relics that should be handed in, and he didn't know when the next batch of cultural relics would be. He just replied with one sentence - settle our bill first.
Pfft... Xiao Jinlang was about to spray a mouthful of old blood on the computer screen. That's right, they have already delivered this batch of goods, and now Xiao Jinlang is thinking about how to sell the stolen goods.
Fortunately, half of the money for the sale of stolen goods, this bastard is not too dark!
But thinking about Xiao Jinlang's continued tears, no matter how much money he makes from selling stolen goods, it will go to the treasury, and he won't get a dime! Moreover, this Western artwork is no more than gems, and the difficulty of getting rid of it has risen sharply.
Xiao Jinlang could only call the people from the Bank of China, and ask if there is a batch of Western artworks with a "very good origin", can they be mortgaged to the bank? What he meant was: Anyway, I don't plan to redeem them. If you set a price, these things will be yours.
But the bank is not stupid. The last gemstone is okay. After all, it is too easy for the authorities to get some authenticity certificates. Moreover, the domestic luxury goods market is getting bigger and bigger, and they are sold casually.
But how can this "very well-established" Western artwork be sold? This thing can be recognized by others if you take it out—hey...how does your Bank of China have the stolen collection of the Metropolitan Museum of New York?
If this is known, what face will there be?
Xiao Jinlang's nose was ashamed, but he had to be concerned about his face, and he couldn't let people know that this was done by the Datianchao police. If the media found out, he would be dismissed immediately, and no one would speak for him.
Alas... this matter is really troublesome!
Xiao Jinlang secretly asked the domestic collectors if anyone would like to collect a batch of Western artworks with a 'very good origin'. It cannot be said that no one is interested in domestic collectors, but the price offered is really humiliating!
Anyway, I am also an official selling stolen goods. I am an official, an official, an official. Although I cannot reveal my identity, do you really think that I am a little thief with no feet? The price offered is not enough to send beggars!
In the end, Xiao Jinlang was at a loss. He can only tentatively spread the news abroad. After all, there is still a big market for collecting Western art abroad, and there are many rich people abroad, who are willing to spend a lot of money for Picasso and so on.
Sure enough, when the news spread that the stolen collection of the Metropolitan Museum in New York might be sold, many Western art dealers expressed interest. What is more interested is the New York police who have been watching this matter.
As the investigation has been fruitless, the New York police are under great pressure. They had to turn to the FBI, but the FBI had nothing to do with this kind of supernatural event. When a bunch of people were extremely distressed, it was reported that the thieves wanted to sell the collection now.
Americans have heard the news very well, they are afraid that the thieves will keep these stolen collections in their hands for seven or eight years before they get rid of them. Thieves can afford to wait seven or eight years, but the police and fbi cannot keep watching for seven or eight years.
This is a duel that rises to the face of the country. Don't think that Americans don't care. The fbi also vowed to bring back the stolen art and thieves. However, if the investigation is to be carried out overseas, the fbi will also have some headaches, and another organization with a greater reputation must be called in - cia!
"Chris Erwin, you are the best agent of our cia, and now there is a task for you to complete."
"Yes, sir! I'm sure to catch this stupid thief and throw him in jail for soap." (To be continued.)
