Chapter 835: The Unfinished Oil Painting
The "one-day trip" to Hong Kong has gained a lot, and Qian Dayong is very excited, but the action to crack down on "bullying and dominating the market" is a top secret, and he can only sit in the back row and steal the fun. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Ding Xinqiang's harvest is not small, at least the suspicion of the deceased's husband Lin Guosheng can be ruled out, but it has been nearly 40 hours since he found out that Lu Lu was killed in his rented community, and the investigation work has not progressed for a long time, and he is anxious, depressed and even a little depressed.
Leaning listlessly against the window of the car, he called Xue Siyu, deputy director of the criminal investigation bureau of the sub-bureau, to report what he had learned in Hong Kong in the afternoon.
Lin Guosheng was shocked when he saw the photo of the deceased, he should not have known in advance, and it didn't look like he was pretending. said that he was very frank and not very nervous when he had a relationship with Lu Lu. He insisted that Lu Lu's murder had nothing to do with him, that he had an alibi, and that he was even willing to accept a polygraph in order to prove his innocence......"
Xue Siyu glanced at Huang Jianfeng, the captain of the criminal police brigade, and asked: "Ding Da, since he knows that Lu Lu is not a good woman, why didn't he get a divorce, is he just worried that Lu Lu will lose face if he goes to Hong Kong to make trouble?"
For this reason, although he did not say it explicitly, it could be heard from his words that he had another concern. The factory he and his friends in the mainland did not do well and closed at the end of last year. There are three shops in Hong Kong, all of which deal in clothing, one is run by his daughter and two are run by his son. ”
"He's not some big boss?"
"It's not a big boss, just because it's not very rich, so I'm worried that once I file for divorce, Lu Lu will justifiably ask for the division of property. Although Lu Lu did not give him a child, she is his legal wife after all, and if she really goes to court, the judge will definitely give Lu Lu a little more. ”
"He didn't want to give a penny, so he chose to run away?"
He knew that it would not be a problem to drag it out, so he made a lot of preparations, such as transferring three shops and real estate to his children's names, and the savings were estimated to have been given to his family. I don't care about business anymore, I drink tea or fish with a group of old Hong Kong men all day long. ”
……
Ding Xinqiang's tone was a little lost, and it was estimated that Xue Siyu on the other end of the phone was not in much better mood.
Han Bo can understand their feelings, Nanhe and several other provinces have clearly stated that "homicide cases must be solved", and the current homicide detection rate is 99.9% or even 100%, so it can be said that the homicide detection rate has become an evaluation standard to measure whether a city and public security bureau has achieved results.
Shenzheng is a window of reform and opening up, a special economic zone, and a city with separate planning that is more valued by the central government than ordinary sub-provincial cities!
The rate of solving homicide cases is not going up, and the public security bureaus in inland cities, especially in some economically underdeveloped areas, can say that the funds for handling cases are tight and the police force is seriously insufficient.
The answer is no, apparently not.
The level should be given to you, and the establishment should be given to you, and the special establishment of politics and law is not enough or even exceeded, and many of the police officers who have joined the police in recent years have participated in public management. Compared with the population base of 10 million, although the case-handling funds are still tight, they are much more generous than the brother city bureaus in the internal provinces.
Not to mention anything else, the instruments and equipment used in the inspection and appraisal of the Technical Department of the Criminal Investigation Bureau are relatively advanced in the world.
If this one cannot be solved, and if there are several more unsolved homicides in the second half of the year, the city bureau will not only be unable to compare with the brother city bureaus of other provinces and cities in terms of the detection rate of current homicides, but will not even reach the 80% "passing line" required by the Ministry of Public Security!
One show covers a hundred ugliness, and an ugly one can also cover a hundred shows.
If you don't do a good job in solving homicide cases, your superiors won't care how many other criminal cases you have cracked or how much other work you have done, and the customs bureau may be embarrassed to mention "Shenzheng CID" and even to the Ministry of Public Security for a meeting, and it is embarrassing to mention the "backpack spirit" of "Shenzheng CID".
As the deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, Han Bo was under pressure, was silent for a moment, and suddenly opened his eyes: "Ding Da, notify the homicide squadron to investigate the scene again in the evening, let the comrades go over first, and we will meet at the scene later." ”
"Yes. Ding Xinqiang picked up his mobile phone and couldn't help asking: "Han Bureau, do you want to notify the sub-bureau?"
"There is so much work in the sub-bureau, the Xue Bureau can't pounce on a case, just notify the serious case squadron, and the front-line police responsible for the investigation can go. ”
"Okay. ”
Unconsciously, the business car had driven into the downtown area of Shenzheng, Han Bo looked at the cars waiting in a long line outside to pass the customs, and was about to call his wife and tell her that he might have to go back later today, when the mobile phone suddenly rang, and Guan Xingwei called.
"Big brother, where is it, have you gone back?"
"I'm back, just cleared. Work is work, life is life, Han Bo is very clear, adjusted his mood, and asked half-jokingly: "Knowing that I didn't show up when I went, and hid from me for a whole day, is your conscience disturbed and you are going to invite me to dinner?"
"Who is hiding from you, I'm also very busy, okay. Besides, I'm about to change jobs, do I need to avoid suspicion?"
Guan Xingwei put the cardboard box full of personal belongings on the hood of the car, pressed the remote control, opened the back door of the car, subconsciously touched the Bluetooth headset, held the car door and said with a smile: "I just called and asked, don't say that you have gone back, even if you don't go back, I don't have time to invite you to dinner, there are activities in the evening, I plan to take Yanan to join in the fun." ”
"What activity?" asked Han Bo curiously.
"Charity dinner, eat first, and there is a charity auction after eating, the invitation letter given by the new boss, all of them are social elites, and there seem to be big stars, do you need to help them sign it?"
Charity dinners and charity auctions are a novelty in the mainland, a new "exotic", but they are very popular in Western countries and international metropolises like Hong Kong, and can be said to be a way of socializing in high society.
Although the old Han family has a little money, Han Bo never thinks that he is an upper-class person, he is not very interested in these, and he is even past the age of chasing stars, so he can't help but joke: "Is this showing off, does it mean that you Guan Xingwei will enter the upper class society and become an upper-class person from now on?"
"Am I qualified to show off, mainly because Yanan wants to go and see the celebrities to join in the fun, but I'm quite interested in art auctions. ”
There is no fuel-efficient lamp that can mix with the superintendent of the Hong Kong Police Force, and it is not something that ordinary people can do if they can jump from the police force to the hot HKMA.
The "brother-in-law" is not a ghost or two, Han Bo didn't think that he was just showing off to himself, and asked thoughtfully: "What do you mean by art auction? ”
"Big brother" is really powerful, and he immediately heard the meaning beyond the words.
Guan Xingwei stuffed the cardboard box into the car, got into the cab and said casually: "The Times conducted a large-scale questionnaire survey the year before last, and 1.4 million valid questionnaires were produced, and no one from China was selected and Japan was selected for 4 in a list of '200 greatest artists of the 20th century', but the price of Chinese artists' works reached 10 times that of Japanese artists, is it abnormal?"
He specializes in "anti-money laundering" and has been working for more than a decade, so he has a say in this issue.
Han Bo habitually touched his nose and said in a low voice, "Go on." ”
"If I were to make a list of artists who could easily become money laundering tools, I would include all artists with a market price of more than 1 million yuan or Hong Kong dollars, including contemporary artists and masters of modern and contemporary Chinese painting, and this list should be at least 100 people. ”
"Painting?"
"Paintings are easy to carry and easy to launder, whereas sculptures, especially large sculptures, are not so convenient. According to public reports, a mainland artist wants to sell 13 large-scale sculptures in Canada, and no one wants to buy them from 5 million yuan to 1.5 million yuan, but his oil paintings can be auctioned for tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong!"
A work of art has a number of characteristics that make it suitable for money laundering.
First of all, there is no authoritative organization and no valuation standard for value determination, and it can be easily speculated on sky-high prices. There is a guy in China who imitated a "golden jade clothes", which was assessed by several well-known industry experts as 2.4 billion yuan, if it were not for the buyer being investigated for fraud, who could overturn the valuation of the five top experts?
In China, the price of art completely depends on how much money the buyer is willing to pay, so the price is easy to manipulate, some time ago there was a painting just after the shooting, the buyer's control company used it as collateral, and the trust fund of 450 million yuan was circled.
The second is that the sky-high price of art transactions is not transparent!
In order to launder money, ordinary works of art must be speculated at sky-high prices, and the domestic "Auction Law" stipulates that auction companies have the right to keep confidential the real information of buyers and sellers. The Anti-Money Laundering Law mainly monitors large transactions and suspicious transactions of financial institutions, but does not involve the investigation of suspicious and sky-high art transactions, leaving a gap in supervision.
Then there is the fact that artworks are easily traded and transferred across borders.
The artworks used to launder money in China are mainly oil paintings and Chinese paintings, which are easy to carry and transfer, and are easy to carry out more covert transnational manipulation, and the works of some artists have been speculated from 100,000 yuan to tens of millions of yuan in two or three years. Not long ago, a well-known domestic painter was involved in a tax inspection storm, and it was revealed that he was manipulating the price of his works at auction in New York.
It's hard not to wonder, who is the boss behind him and who is he playing for?
But Han Bo's concern now is not about money laundering in artworks, but about a previously overlooked detail in the murder of Lu Lu, where there is an oil painting in the corner of the balcony at the scene of the crime, which is placed against the wall, not printed, hand-painted, and unfinished and framed.
Lu Lu is obviously not a painter, and it is unlikely that he has such a noble hobby.
Who painted that painting, how did it appear at the scene, and what was the relationship between the person who painted the painting and the deceased?
Thinking of this, Han Bo hung up the "brother-in-law" phone in a few words, and suddenly turned back and asked: "Ding Da, call and ask the sub-bureau, have you checked the situation between the landlord and the previous tenant in Lu Lu's case?"
