Chapter 321: God Speed
In fact, every time he goes to the four teams, Min Xue is quite relaxed.
Unlike one team, where every case is a violent crime, the four teams are relatively peaceful, just like the last art theft case.
Of course, this is only relative, and it does not mean that the cases of the four teams are not in personal danger.
For example, in the last art case, if it weren't for Min Xue's own strength being strong enough, he would have been put down by Caroline, and the best result would have been to lie in the hospital for a few days. With bad luck, it is not impossible to die heroically.
It's far away, anyway, after reaching the floor of the fourth team, Tang Rui has already greeted him.
"I'm looking forward to you!"
The deputy captain of the fourth team, still with his unobtrusive smile, hugged Min Xue's shoulders as soon as they met, and the two brothers walked to the office.
Passing through the office area, the girls of the four teams looked at it with blingbling eyes, although it is a building, it is not so easy to meet Min Xue, right?
So Tang Rui spoke again with a hippie smile, "Look, how good the atmosphere is in our team, if you are transferred, you can enjoy the treatment of the emperor superstar every day~"
Min Xue, "......".
Hearing Tang Rui's words, Min Xue finally had an epiphany.
He said, everyone is in the same building, even if the girls are not common, they will not be so "eager", it is estimated that they were specially ordered by their unobtrusive leaders!
In a frenzy!
Seeing Min Xue's speechless face, Tang Rui also realized that this scene was over, and after glancing at the girls, the deputy team decided to strengthen training in the future, and training must be strengthened!
If you can't even fool your own people, how can you go out and fool criminals?
A theory that makes sense...
Seeing that the "scheme" was discovered, Tang Rui didn't have an embarrassed look at all, and continued to pull Min Xue straight to the office.
As soon as he entered the house, Tang Rui began to complain.
"Min'er, this time I temporarily arrested Zhuangding, don't blame my brother, the main thing is that Nie Ziyu teaches criminology, or a professor, and belongs to the elite of our industry, I am afraid that if I show a little flaw, I will be noticed by him. β
Min Xue was curious, "What did he do?"
That is to say, Min Xue's curiosity is not strong, and if he changes people, he is afraid that he will be troubled by this problem and will not be able to sleep all night.
"Hey, the question now is not what he did!" Tang Rui pointed to the seat, asked Min Xue to sit down, and poured two glasses of water himself.
"Just last month, the well-known Yalin Gallery in China held an exhibition, and as a result, a Van Lunding oil painting borrowed from abroad was stolen. β
Tsk, why do you like to engage in foreign works to support the faΓ§ade? Foreign moons are relatively round?
Who is Fan Lunding, presumably most Chinese people have never heard of it, at least Min Xue doesn't know.
"How much is that painting worth?" Well, Min Xue's concern is so vulgar.
Sure enough, Tang Rui was greeted with a look of contempt, "Shouldn't you ask about the artistic value of this work, such as his pioneering work in many of Van Lunding's works, and for example, his originality in the history of oil painting in the world!"
Min Xue twitched the corners of his mouth and changed his "elegant" question, "So... What is its artistic value?"
Tang Rui rolled his eyes, but still replied, "Two million." β
"Doesn't seem expensive, does it?"
"Dollars. β
All right...
Although more than 10 million paintings can no longer surprise people's attention, after all, in recent years, we can always hear the news that some things have been auctioned for hundreds of millions of sky-high prices, but for the general public, it is still an unattainable number.
Then again, even if you have tens of millions of assets, you may not have such a large amount of money to spend a fraction of your net worth to buy a painting.
Min Xue was puzzled, "I didn't hear any wind at all last month." β
"Press, it's tight, I'm two big heads now!" Although Tang Rui was still smiling, the tiredness in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
The value of foreign goods is not low, and whether you can find it or not is a matter of face, and it is normal to urge a little bit above.
"Aren't you already eyeing Nie Ziyu? There should be some clues, right?" Thinking of last night's incident, Min Xue said.
Tang Rui took a sip of water, "This matter is a long story, to be precise, at this stage, we are not targeting Nie Ziyu, but his students." β
Min Xue thought about it, there were indeed a few people of the same age as students at Nie Ziyu's table next door last night.
Adjusting his sitting posture, Min Xue made a gesture of "please" with a willingness to hear the details.
Tang Rui sorted out his thoughts and started from the beginning of the case.
"After the painting was stolen, the gallery immediately called the police. β
"After the on-site investigation, it was found that the theft method in this case was very professional and definitely professional. β
Speaking of professional thieves, Min Xue couldn't help but think of Ah Hai, but this person who is currently absconding, should not come to the magic capital by himself, right?
Min Xue just habitually associated, and did not interject, but continued to listen to Tang Rui say, "Because the thieves are very professional and did not leave obvious clues, we are forced to have no choice but to start with the stolen painting itself." β
"According to our channel investigation, this oil painting of Van Lunding appeared at an auction in Beijing just one day after it was stolen and was taken away on the same day. β
The four detachments have been doing this work all year round, and it is not surprising that there are special channels Min Xue, Min Xue just sighed, "This painting is selling too fast, right?"
Even if you are not familiar with this trade, you know that it is not quite in accordance with common sense.
In the case of the theft of a painting like Van Lunding's painting, unless a one-stop service market for theft is formed, and the buyer has to be very cooperative to buy it immediately.
No matter how you think about it, it's unlikely, this is not a bok choy, eight-figure deal...
If nothing else, you have to promote it for a while, right?
Tang Rui understood Min Xue's thoughts, and he nodded, "We also thought it was incredible, so we found the buyer through the auction, and at the same time found the painting." β
Tang Rui said this, his expression was a little weird.
Min Xue understands very well that things will never be so simple.
If Van Lunding's paintings had been found so easily, there would have been no follow-up series.
Sure enough, Tang Rui came to a big turn, "However, after expert identification, the oil painting of Van Lunding in the buyer's hand is a fake, an imitation!"
This...
The plot is very ups and downs!
Is it true that the paintings on display at the Yalin Gallery are fakes, or are they fakes that were auctioned at the beginning of the auction and have nothing to do with the stolen paintings?
Min Xue felt that the former was unlikely, because since the gallery was going to borrow it for exhibition, it would definitely repeatedly evaluate and identify the authenticity of the paintings, otherwise he would not have to pay for death when he returned them?
If it is inferred in this way, the probability that the auction will be a fake at the beginning of the auction is relatively high, and Min Xue is more inclined to the latter.
So what's actually going on?
Min Xue looked at Tang Rui expectantly, waiting for him to reveal the answer.
