Chapter 16: Divergence

Xu Xuan put away the things on the table and asked Su Cheng: "Why do you know so much about the methods of the Demon Guidance Group, as far as I know, there is no record of this on the part of Interpol." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Su Cheng replied frankly: "Because I taught them anti-reconnaissance methods." ”

Xu Xuan was stunned for a moment, this answer was really unexpected, and asked, "In order to make it better for them to help you steal art?"

Su Cheng smiled, didn't answer, picked up the knife and fork, and ate the omelette.

Xu Xuan asked again, "Do you know them?"

Beauty, curiosity does not drive events. Su Cheng thought for a while and said, "Give me your mobile phone." ”

Xu Xuan handed over the mobile phone to Su Cheng, who made a call abroad, spoke Spanish, and hung up the phone after a while: "They can give me a face and return the stolen artwork to the police." But for a ransom of three million euros. ”

Xu Xuan snatched the phone, suppressed the anger in his heart and left the hotel lobby. It's the first time I've heard of someone daring to sell stolen goods to the police so openly. But Xu Xuan knew that he was helpless against Su Cheng, and from what he could know just now, Su Cheng was more inclined to the so-called magic group than himself.

He didn't avoid eavesdroppers, didn't reveal information, and even helped the magic group sell stolen goods.

Xu Xuan looked at the phone number on his mobile phone and immediately called the technician to track it down, and the technician quickly told Xu Xuan that it was a Somali phone call, and because Somalia did not have basic police control, it could not be traced. However, the technician told Xu Xuan that Somalia had only transferred the call, and the wolf lawyer told the technician that this was called an intermediary service, which ensured that the customer would not be chased to his location by the current police technical force because of the call, and that the fee for each service was at least $1,000, and it could also be paid monthly.

……

The magic group reminded Su Cheng of a lot of things, and remembered some things in college. As Xu Xuan guessed, Su Cheng knew the magic group very well, and even had a good relationship with at least two members. Xu Xuan didn't guess correctly, Su Cheng and the Demon Guide Group had no business dealings, and Su Cheng would not become friends with people who had business dealings, because once they were destroyed, the next target of destruction would be himself.

With good breakfast, it was already 8:40 in the morning, Su Cheng took a taxi to Department Z, and arrived at Department Z at 8:59. As I expected, I saw a clean Z department office.

Bai Xue, who was working her first day, was cleaning the interrogation room opposite the office. The office and the transcription room have been cleaned. Zoro sat in his place, his suit casually tossed on the table, lit a cigarette, looked at the computer, and held his phone.

Zuo Luo saw Su Cheng enter the office: "Xu Xuan is very unhappy, since you know the Demon Guidance Group, why don't you help her?"

Su Cheng put the suit on the back of the chair, sat down, and said, "They are not important, and the artwork is not important, I will not sell my resources for unimportant things." ”

"This work of art is a relic, a priceless relic. ”

"This relic is a personal belonging, it was dug up from a grave, right?"

"It's called archaeology. Zoro replied.

"The Wizards are linked to a global charity medical program for children, to which they donate eighty percent of their ill-gotten gains. I think an artifact can help a lot of people, and it can do a lot more than if he was lying in a museum. ”

"But cultural relics are things that are meant to be left to future generations. Zoro said: "Okay, don't argue, what medical plan?"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Three million euros is not a high ransom. Money was given, cultural relics were preserved, and by the way, people in need were helped. ”

"Three million euros is 30 million yuan. ”

Su Cheng said: "30 million yuan is the price of six ordinary residential houses. Isn't it contradictory that you claim that cultural relics are important and priceless treasures to be left to future generations, while at the same time you are not willing to pay the price of six houses?"

Zoro said: "The police will not make deals with criminals. ”

"When the police are incompetent, they can only accept to make deals with criminals in order to recover their losses as much as possible. Su Cheng saw that Zuo Luo was still arguing, and said, "I'm up to you, I don't have any interest in this kind of case, and I won't help." ”

Zoro asked rhetorically: "Then what case are you interested in and will help?"

"The case of the bad guys. ”

"They steal and are bad people. ”

"They steal, they break the law, they disrupt order. But they steal to help people, and by my definition, they can't be considered bad people. "The two initiators of the Magic Wizard Group are themselves beneficiaries of the Children's Charity Project, and they have a similar view to Su Cheng: Why can't tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars, oil paintings, artworks, be exchanged for actual dollars and given to those in need? At the same time, Su Cheng did not deny that they were criminals.

"Your thinking is dangerous. ”

Su Cheng didn't want to debate anymore and asked, "Do you have a job today?"

Zoro asked rhetorically: "Your interest in criminal investigation seems to exceed your interest in being a consultant." ”

Su Cheng smiled and didn't answer, that's right, he was very interested in the detective business.

Zuo Luo didn't expect Su Cheng to answer, and said: "There is no case today, today's job is to select people, someone will come to the department for an interview in the afternoon, I hope you can be present and give me some advice." ”

"Of course. Su Cheng asked in a low voice, "About borrowing money." ”

"No need to talk. ”

"I asked Filona to dinner. ”

Zuo Luo thought for a while, opened the drawer, took out an envelope and threw it over: "This is 5,000 yuan, the case handling funds, you can take it first, and deduct it from your next month's salary." ”

Whatever, Su Cheng accepted it. Su Cheng asked, "Do we have such a small amount of money to handle the case?"

"We don't need to handle the case, we have a car, we pay for the fuel ourselves, and we have a fixed monthly subsidy. Hardly leave City A to handle the case, and there is no transportation expenses, accommodation fees and other expenses. ”

Su Cheng said: "But don't you think that a few rooms in the seventh group need to be renovated?"

Zuo Luo looked up left and right, the cement paint on the top was expanding and falling off one after another because of the age, Zuo Luo said: "No, the grade of decoration has nothing to do with the efficiency of handling cases." ”

But it has to do with the comfort of the office! Okay, I can't convince you of this, you can sit on a dusty chair with a big knife, just stand up and pat your buttocks, this kind of improvisation to a fairly improvised, I can't correct you. Although it has only been a few days, Su Cheng still has a certain understanding of Zuo Luo, Zuo Luo doesn't care about food and housing, as long as he doesn't destroy his health and can survive, he can accept it, and he won't waste a minute of his time in order to improve his living standards.
