Chapter 282: The Disappearing Stamp Album

"Officer!" Li Mengqi said with a haggard face, "I'm already like this, how could I joke with you? Even if I can't apply for a tainted witness, I have no reason to talk nonsense! I checked it three times, and the most The valuable copybooks from the Qing Dynasty and a string of pearl necklaces from the Republic of China are all missing, only a stamp album is missing!"

Zhao Yu and Miao Ying looked at each other, and getting such an answer naturally caught them by surprise.

"Stamp collection?" Zhao Yu didn't know anything about stamp collecting, so he hurriedly told the detectives behind him to find Liang Huan quickly.

"It's a stamp album, that's right!" Li Mengqi pointed to her list and said, "I bought it with my own hands, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it! Officer, I admit that most of it is stolen goods, but this stamp album is the only one that is different! I bought this through legal means!"

"Hmph!" Zhao Yu sat down in front of Li Mengqi, "What is legal in Heizhuang? No matter how many hands you have, the stolen goods will always be stolen goods! You have been doing this for so many years, you don't understand this truth, do you?" ?”

"You?" Li Mengqi took a serious look. In her eyes, the police would never know so many secrets of the Heizhuang industry.

"Hurry up!" Miao Ying said, "If you tell us the truth earlier, we can catch the robbers sooner! It will definitely be good for you to catch the robbers!"

Miao Ying's words were similar to Zhao Yu's, Li Mengqi was very surprised. She stabilized her mind, and then explained the ins and outs of the stamp collection clearly.

It turned out that the stamp album came from an amateur collector. Collectors put the precious stamps they have collected with great concentration into stamp albums, and each plastic bag is specially made according to the size of each stamp, which is very fine.

However, unfortunately for the family, after the collector passed away, the collector's son was infected with a bad habit of gambling. In order to repay the huge gambling debt, he even took out the stamp album to pay off the debt.

The debt collection party was uncertain about the value of the stamp album, so they called Li Mengqi's team over.

Li Mengqi said that according to the valuation of experts, the market price of the stamp album at that time was around 10,000. However, there are several sets of stamps in it that have the potential to appreciate in value. If you stock up on them, they will surely double in value in the future.

Therefore, Li Mengqi took advantage of the fire to rob, and finally bought the stamp album at a price of 10,000 yuan, and it has been stored in the safe of Qinshan Bank since then.

Now that this year has passed, this stamp album has indeed doubled, and now it can be worth three to four million yuan!

Three or four million! ?

Zhao Yu glanced at Miao Ying again, and Miao Ying also raised her eyebrows high. Although three to four million is already a lot, but in their view, for this mere three to four million, it is really not worthwhile to rob a bank!

What exactly is going on?

Five bank robbers risked their lives to steal a stamp album? Was it Li Mengqi's mistake, or was there some other reason?

"You..." Miao Ying thought for a while and asked Li Mengqi, "Do you still have that stamp album, or the pictures of the stamps in it?"

"Yes! This must be there!" Li Mengqi said, "I know where it is! But, police comrades, I still hope to be a tainted witness. I am willing to cooperate with the police to find the criminal!"

"That's no problem!" Miao Ying agreed, "Hurry up! It's not too late. From now on, your performance has been recorded by us, and we will score points for you when the trial comes!"

"Yes yes yes!" Li Mengqi thanked again and again, and then told the detailed location of the hidden picture without any concealment.

Afterwards, Zhao Yu and Miao Ying interrogated Li Mengqi on the spot, asking if they had any other safes for storing stolen goods, and whether they knew that there were corpses hidden in the safes.

As a result, Li Mengqi claimed that she no longer had any other cabinets. Moreover, she had never heard of the saying that the safe vacuumed the corpse.

In order not to miss any clues, Miao Ying also showed photos of Gong Xiuzhen and other victims to Li Mengqi, who also did not know these people.

As a result, Zhao Yu felt more and more that things seemed to have returned to the original point, and the bank robbery and the safe deposit case seemed to have nothing to do with each other.

The gangster just accidentally opened the cabinet where the corpse was stored when he was prying the safe.

However, without solid evidence, everything is empty talk. The gangster who robbed the safe must be found in order to confirm this matter.

But when it comes to catching gangsters, things have become even more bizarre.

Were the gangsters really after the stamp? Are they all stamp collectors? Even dared to rob banks for stamps, this... isn't this a bunch of lunatics?

The copybook of the Qing Dynasty that Li Mengqi mentioned was at least Wanshang. If this painting was taken away, it seems to be easy to explain, right? Go back and sell the painting, what stamps can't be bought back?

What has actually happened?

With strong curiosity, Zhao Yu and Miao Ying returned to the police station, waiting for the results of the stamp pictures. Although Li Mengqi's Heizhuang was not under the jurisdiction of Rongyang, but because the matter was involved in the bank robbery, the superior ordered that the case should also be handled by the Rongyang branch.

This undoubtedly increased the workload of the Rongyang branch. Fortunately, this kind of crime of buying stolen goods is an economic crime. Li Mengqi and others were temporarily handed over to the economic investigation team for investigation, which also slightly relieved the pressure on the serious crime team.

However, all the detectives of the serious crime team knew that when the economic investigation team found out some serious theft or robbery gang, the case would be transferred back to them sooner or later.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. The photos of the belongings hidden on Li Mengqi's home computer had been successfully retrieved by the agents.

In order to better ascertain the gangsters' intentions, Liang Huan invited two experts from the Postal Association to help him in his private capacity.

The picture of the stamp was enlarged on the high-definition electronic screen, and Liang Huan and two experts worked together to conduct a detailed identification of the missing stamp album.

Although Zhao Yu didn't know anything about stamp collecting, he was very interested in it and stayed at the scene to observe it.

"This is Uncle Cao Guo!" When he opened the first page of the stamp album, an expert recognized it at a glance, pointed to one of the stamps and said, "When the TV series "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" was broadcast in 2009, the post office once issued a stamp. A stamp of the Eight Immortals. However, when it was issued, due to the problem of slow design, it was not issued in series, but issued one by one, which lasted for several years.

"Because it's not a complete set, so few folks can get it together! This Uncle Cao should be from the earliest issue!"

"I remember it too!" Another old expert said with a smile, "I even collected it back then! He Xiangu produced the least. Only by buying He Xiangu can it be possible to collect all the Eight Immortals!"

"Then... how much is this one worth?" Liang Huan asked after pondering.

"50,000 to 60,000 yuan! The quality is good, and it's well preserved!" The old expert laughed, "But if we can get the Eight Immortals together, that would be great! The starting price should be one million or more!"

oh?

Hearing this, Zhao Yu couldn't help thinking. Could it be that the gangsters really had some purpose in snatching this stamp album?

Just like Cao Guojiu, the gangsters have another Seven Immortals. If Cao Guojiu is captured, can the Eight Immortals be assembled?

But if it's just ten thousand, it's still a little less, right?

While speaking, the experts turned the stamp album to the second page. What appeared on this page was a set of colorful stamps. There were one set of stamps and one set of stamps. Each stamp had a picture of a man doing gymnastics. villain.

This set of stamps looks very old and should have been quite old.

"Wow! Great!" The old expert sighed, "It's enough, this is the radio gymnastics of the year!"

"Cough!" Liang Huan shook his head and said, "What a treasure I am! This set of radio gymnastics is sold on Taobao, and it costs 10,000 yuan a set! The country issued a total of 10,000 sets back then, this is too low. !"

"Hey, Xiao Liangzi is amazing?" Another expert praised, "You know a lot! Hehe..."

Unexpectedly, before the expert finished laughing, the face of the old expert suddenly froze! He seemed to be intimidated by something in the stamp, and after a few seconds, he raised his hand tremblingly, pointed at the screen and said:

"This... this... is not from the year! It is from the year, it is... God!" The old expert's eyebrows trembled, "This is the wrong version of the year! The only... the only copy! This is it! God, God , how come—here?"
