40. The Reason for the Matter (I)
Every international criminal organization has more or less some information and case records with Interpol, and although they know that they are bad people, they are often unable to take measures against these organizations or prosecute them because of insufficient evidence.
However, at the beginning of this year, Xiao Gang, a proud disciple of Jin Hongzhong, who was second only to Xiao Dong, lost his hand when committing a crime!
At the beginning of the year, Feiyanmen received a report from an informant that there was a group of Chinese cultural relics dealers in France who were trading with a certain wealthy businessman! France was originally the nest of the Thor Party, and the general theft organization had rules and regulations, and it was rare to cross the line to commit crimes in other people's nests. However, the transaction volume this time was really huge, or the items traded were cultural relics of China, Jin Hongzhong did not want these things to fall into the hands of foreigners, so after making careful arrangements, Pai Xiaogang rushed to France with a few good people.
However, what Jin Hongzhong never expected was that waiting for Xiao Gang was not those antiquities dealers and wealthy French businessmen, but members of the Thor Party!
After Xiao Gang came to France, according to the information provided by the informant, it was easy to find the vault where the cultural relics were stored. Thankfully, although the guards here are strict, there are still some blind spots! For Xiao Gang, who is proficient in this business, it is easy to avoid the sentry and come to the gate of the vault!
When I opened the vault, it took a lot of effort. Just as the door of the vault was about to be opened, a large number of water jets suddenly shot out from all directions, turning Xiao Gang and the others into soup chickens! It turned out that for some unknown reason, the fire protection system here was activated! Fortunately, Xiao Gang casually pressed a button with "incendie" (in French, fire alarm), and the water column finally stopped spraying.
However, because I was wet, it became very inconvenient to move. In desperation, Xiao Gang and the others had to take off their night clothes and hoods, and they were not afraid of being seen by others here anyway! The monitors from several perspectives had already been covered by Xiao Gang with a black cloth when they first came in!
After that, things went very smoothly, Xiao Gang and they successfully cracked the password of the Chinese storage cabinet in the vault, and then took out the cultural relics!
Actually, if it weren't for the tight schedule. People like Xiao Gang, who deal with cultural relics all day long, can still tell that the goods in their hands are fakes! But it is precisely because they are in a hurry that Xiao Gang and the others do not pay attention. I just carefully packed the goods. After all this was done, Xiao Gang and the others carefully returned from the same way!
When they went back, they were still very lucky and didn't alarm anyone! It wasn't until they returned to their temporary base that Xiao Gang breathed a sigh of relief and called Jin Hongzhong to report that he was safe, and then counted the loot with his subordinates!
However, after the box was opened, when the top Ming vase was taken out. Xiao Gang's face changed! What kind of vase is this, it is clearly imitated by Jingdezhen! However, Xiao Gang did not pay much attention to it, because in the past actions, it is inevitable that he will encounter fakes, after all, in the cultural relics industry, the phenomenon of counterfeiting is very serious. If you are not a professional, many sellers will not know that what they are selling is a fake, let alone a buyer! This situation is very common! It is normal for a batch of goods to come back with a few fakes in the middle. It's just that the first place to take out this time is a fake, which is really a bit back!
The second one that came out was a bronze candlestick, however, this candlestick was actually fake! Xiao Gang and the others were secretly scolding bad luck! Encountering two fakes in a row, this kind of thing is not nothing, but it is relatively rare!
When the third item, a small bowl, was taken out, Xiao Gang's face turned a little green! How could it be! It was still a fake! Until this moment. Everyone realizes that things don't seem to be so simple!
Xiao Gang asked people to take out all the things in the box, and after checking them one by one, he got a conclusion that made Xiao Gang almost faint, and it was all fake!
But Xiao Gang and the others just thought they were unlucky, and they didn't think there was anything wrong, the big deal was that they took a trip in vain, as if they were traveling to France!
In addition to being angry, everyone cursed the cultural relics dealer, and the pit man didn't have such a thing, all of them
There really isn't, it seems that this foreigner who buys things is also a two-hundred-and-five!
―
Xiao Gang didn't dare to delay, and after figuring out the situation, he immediately called Jin Hongzhong to report the situation.
After hearing this, Jin Hongzhong couldn't help but mutter, the matter is indeed too strange! As far as he knows, the transaction amount of this batch of goods has reached $30 million! It is not a small deal!
If he doesn't understand it, is there no other person around him who knows how to do it? Besides, a person who dares to play such a big game really doesn't understand anything?
Jin Hongzhong knows that he is a native of China, but many foreign collectors have even surpassed himself in the research and understanding of Chinese cultural relics!
Therefore, Jin Hongzhong couldn't figure out how the buyer really couldn't distinguish the fakes that even Xiao Gang and the others could distinguish? If it was a sale of hundreds of thousands, there might be such a situation, but how careless could a transaction of 30 million yuan be? Either the buyer couldn't spend a lot of money, or there was a problem with the information he obtained, and the transaction amount was not 30 million!
Is there a problem with the intelligence? Maybe. However, Jin Hongzhong had a very bad idea, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he ordered Xiao Gang: "You guys leave early tomorrow morning to return to Huaxia!
"But Master, it's the first time we've come to this place that is known as a romantic country, and we still want to walk around!" Actually, Xiao Gang and they wanted to find a few foreign girls.
"No, come back immediately!" Kim Hongjong ordered.
"Yes...... Master. Although Xiao Gang and the others were reluctant, they couldn't help but listen to Master's words.
However, not long after the call ended, an accident happened!
Xiao Gang's foothold is in a dilapidated villa on the outskirts of the city, it stands to reason that no one will come to this kind of place at all, but the door of the villa was ruthlessly pushed open!
A group of people in police uniforms pointed their guns at Xiao Gang and the others! Although Xiao Gang was very fast and had a little kung fu at hand, they still stopped resisting in the face of the black muzzle and raised their hands one after another!
They didn't expect that these policemen came to them because of theft, because Xiao Gang felt that they were doing something clean, and what they thought was that the reason why the police came to the door was because they lived in this villa illegally!
Even if the police found those artifacts and fakes, they could presume that they had found them in this house, and they were fakes anyway, and no one would pay attention to them.
Therefore, when the police handcuffed them all, Xiao Gang didn't say anything! Until the police found those fakes from the house, Xiao Gang was a little nervous.
"What's going on with these things?" asked a policeman.
"What is it?" Xiao Gang pretended to be very puzzled: "Oh, you said this, we just found it from the corner of this house, and we thought we had made a fortune, but you actually found it!"
The policeman obviously didn't believe Xiao Gang's words: "We have received a report that you were involved in a theft!
When Xiao Gang heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded! Hurriedly shouted: "What kind of theft, I don't know what you're talking about!"
"These are the evidence! It exactly matches the items that the informant lost!" the policeman said with a cold face, "Let's talk about everything when we go back!"
Although Xiao Gang was very reluctant, he didn't care because the things were fakes. So, without much resistance, he got into the car with the police.
The Iveco van was not a police car, and there was no police logo painted on the outside, but Xiao Gang did not pay attention. Because many plainclothes police officers in China drive cars that are not police cars, it is convenient to arrest criminals.
Xiao Gang also did not know much about the national conditions in France, and did not understand the procedures of the local police in handling cases, so he gave these people a loophole to exploit! However, when Xiao Gang found out that the place where the car was driving was not the police station, but the underground vault just now, he faintly felt that something was wrong.
"Where are you taking us!" Xiao Gang shouted.
"Shut up, you'll know when you arrive!" a policeman shouted.
"You're not a policeman!" Xiao Gang suddenly realized this and immediately shouted.
"We never said we were cops!" the cop laughed.
