Chapter 1291: Auction and Battle

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was more than half an hour.

The jewellery and diamond auction is coming to an end, and there are only a few lots left.

But the atmosphere in the auction hall is getting hotter and hotter, it is close to the boiling point, and the smell of gunpowder in the air is getting stronger and stronger, and the smell is a little choking!

In particular, the famous jewelers and super-rich people from all over the world who sat in the first two rows were all bright-eyed and ready to start a battle of bayonets!

No need to ask, these guys are all aiming for the same goal, they are all here for that top Fancy Vivid blue diamond 'Oppenheimer's Blue'!

It is the largest Fancy Vivid blue diamond in the history of the world's auctions, and it is a priceless and top-notch diamond that is hard to come by, and definitely not to be missed!

"Bang!"

Another set of diamonds was sold under the hammer, and the high-pitched and loud voice of the auctioneer Larsson resounded throughout the auction hall again!

With three more lots to go, it's time for the much-anticipated Oppenheimer Blue, which will be the most exciting and competitive moment of the day!

At the same time as Larsen's voice fell, Ye Tian followed his gesture and turned his head to look behind.

As if he were inadvertent, his eyes swept over an individual buyer sitting in the twelfth row near the aisle, and he looked at the winning bidder who was shaking his fist in celebration!

The individual buyer sitting in the twelfth row near the aisle is the eyeliner that the 'Pink Panther' planted in the auction hall, there is no doubt about it!

Through the on-site surveillance footage in the auction hall, combined with the time and frequency of the buyer's messages, Mattis and the others easily found the guy and checked it out!

This is a rich man from Croatia, who is in the shipping business, has a few money in his pocket, and is also a bit famous in Croatia, like a serious businessman!

On the surface, this guy doesn't seem to have anything to do with the 'Pink Panther', but who would have expected that he is the eyeliner that the 'Pink Panther' planted here!

After confirming that this guy was the 'Pink Panther' eyeliner, Ye Tian quickly found an opportunity to thoroughly see through this guy!

This guy is not carrying a weapon, there is no threat, he should only be responsible for reporting the situation at the scene, and he does not participate in the specific actions of robbery or theft, which is quite cunning!

After looking at the ecstatic winning bidder, Ye Tian withdrew his gaze and turned his head to look at the auction table in front of him.

Immediately after, he turned on the microphone of the invisible headphones, lowered his voice and said:

"Mattis, you can tell the Antwerp police to come and check the water meter and check the condition of the jewel thieves in the 'Pink Panther'.

It is estimated that when the Antwerp police knock on the door of the apartment, it will be time for the 'Oppenheimer Blue' to be on display, and at that point, there will be a spectacular show on both sides.

The existence of this 'pink panther' eyeliner in the auction hall, do not tell the Antwerp police or the head of security at Christie's auction house for the time being.

I'm afraid those guys will be too nervous to interrupt this auction, and we won't have time to spend in Antwerp until the next auction starts!

Don't tell the Antwerp police about the three pretending to be tourists, if the police carry out an arrest operation on Diamond Street, it will inevitably affect the auction!

When the auctioneer rang the auction gavel, I successfully won the 'Oppenheimer Blue', and then revealed the identities of these guys to the police, so that the police could arrest these guys.

And don't forget the Ghent father and son and the Brussels gangsters who are fools, to prevent them from jumping out and getting into trouble, and if necessary, let the Antwerp police deal with them!"

"Understood, Steven, I'm going to notify the Antwerp police and let them take action, you can rest assured that the situation outside is under our control!"

Matisse's voice came through the headphones, confident and exciting.

Then the two ended the call and went their separate ways!

Ye Tian continued to stay in the auction hall, preparing for the final showdown, while Mattis took out his mobile phone and began to contact the Antwerp police chief he had met before.

The auction continued, and the bidding number plates in the auction hall came and went, the bidding voices were endless, the scene was very lively, and the smell of gunpowder filled the entire hall!

On the other hand, the Antwerp police, who received the news, also took immediate action.

To be on the safe side, while verifying the authenticity of Matisse's revelations, the Antwerp police have also secretly strengthened security on Diamond Street in order to respond to possible contingencies.

You know, those guys hiding in the apartment near Diamond Avenue are most likely the members of the 'Pink Panthers', the most famous jewelry robbery and theft gang in the world!

For Antwerp, known as the 'diamond capital of the world', these guys are undoubtedly natural enemies and the most hated criminals, and they can't help but be nervous!

Through surveillance cameras in many parts of the city, as well as information from the black market of jewelry and diamond trading, the Antwerp police quickly confirmed that the news revealed by Matisse was indeed true!

The guy hidden in the apartment near Diamond Street is a few important people from the 'Pink Panther' and a bunch of their minions!

Those jewel thieves appeared in Antwerp at this time, and the purpose is self-evident, they must have come for today's jewelry and diamond auction!

Of course, those jewelry thieves are also very likely to be here for Steven's guy and for the top jewelry of Queen Mary in his hands!

After confirming that the news was true, the person in charge of the Antwerp police on Diamond Street couldn't help but feel quite embarrassed, and even a little embarrassed!

At the same time, he also had a deeper understanding of Ye Tian's strength, and he was secretly frightened!

Immediately afterwards, the Antwerp police launched an operation.

Soon, several armored vehicles loaded with the Antwerp police contingent roared out of the garage of the Antwerp police station and into the street where the Pink Panthers were located.

The Antwerp Police Contingent, a police special forces force of only sixteen people, is tasked with solving all hostage-taking crimes, as well as high-risk arrest operations throughout the city.

Every member of this police contingent has served in the police force for more than five years, and many of them were paratroopers in the Royal Belgian Army and are the ace force of the Antwerp police!

These armored vehicles were still on the road, and the street where the members of the 'Pink Panthers' were located was quietly cordoned off by the Antwerp police, and they were only allowed to leave and not enter!

It took less than a few minutes for several armored vehicles of the Antwerp police contingent to arrive at their destination.

By the time they disembarked from the armored vehicles, the task force had completed its grouping, and the sixteen of them were divided into three groups, two to attack and one to support.

Next, these armed SWAT officers wearing black masks, body armor and short assault rifles lined up in a line to attack and began to attack!

They clinged to the walls of the street, using the walls and the eaves of the buildings as cover, and started from both ends of the street and went straight to the apartment building in the middle of the street!

In the auction hall, as the auction hammer in Larsson's hand fell, an orange diamond weighing about nine carats was successfully auctioned off and fell into the pocket of the luxury brand Cartier.

After a round of applause, the penultimate lot was removed from the makeshift vault by Christie's staff and placed on a display stand.

Immediately afterward, Larson's passionate voice came from the stage again and resounded throughout the auction hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what you are seeing at this moment is the forty-ninth lot of today's jewellery and diamond auction, and the penultimate lot of the day.

This is a set of crystal clear flawless white diamonds, a total of eight diamonds, the heaviest one is 7.8 carats and the lightest one is 5.52 carats, all from the same rough diamond,......"
