In the conference room downstairs, a few people sat down.

Millie turned on the slide light, and a black and thin figure appeared on the white screen wall, which was the knife hand that Sha Bai was familiar with, Tan Fei.

Millie began to introduce Tan Fei's situation.

Tan Fei was a soldier, and after retiring from the army more than 20 years ago, he started a jade business and has been living in Xijiang Province, which is rich in jade deposits. His business is very successful and he is quite famous in the jade business circle.

More than ten years ago, Tan Fei suddenly disappeared from the jade business world, and according to rumors, he was sick and went abroad for treatment.

He reappeared six years ago, and the way he appeared was astounding.

He robbed an antique shop in Tay Giang province and stole a bronze tripod. The owner of the antique shop was Tan Fei's business partner back then. According to the boss, the copper tripod was received from a friend, and the year has not been clarified, some people say it is thousands of years ago, some people say it is a hundred years ago, and some people say it is an antique fake.

When the owner of the antique shop was doing business with Tan Fei in partnership, he had shown Tan Fei the ancient ding, but at that time Tan Fei thought it was a fake, and he didn't know why he went to grab it later.

Since the antique robbery, Tan Fei has continued to commit crimes, and in the past six years, he has robbed many cultural relics through eight thefts, robberies and other means. The victims range from private collectors, antique shops, and public museums.

Due to Tan Fei's repeated crimes, the police have long listed him as a key target. But it has not been successful. According to the reports of police personnel who had encountered Tan Fei, the main difficulty was that Tan Fei's movements were too fast, and it was difficult for ordinary police officers to even approach him.

Due to the difficulty of the apprehend, the police enlisted the assistance of the special services unit attached to the security services. The Secret Service is not under the jurisdiction of the police, it is a subordinate department of the army, and it is common practice for the police to invite the assistance of the Secret Service when dealing with particularly dangerous criminals.

The first time the secret service was involved in the arrest of Tan Fei was more than two years ago, when the police received information that Tan Fei was going to steal a piece of a private collector's collection, so they set up an ambush in the collector's villa in advance. Tan Fei did appear, but the result of the fight was that Tan Fei not only took away the cultural relics and retreated, but also caused some casualties to the special services and the police.

Tan Fei's most recent crime occurred half a month ago, when he tried to infiltrate the Jiangnan City Museum and steal an ancient armor collected in the museum, but when he opened the cabinet, the alarm was triggered and he failed to escape.

"Armor, what kind of armor?" asked Sha Bai, a little curious.

Millie pulls up an image of the armor from the computer and displays it on the screen, "This armor was unearthed from an ancient tomb four years ago. The age of the armor has not yet been fully clarified, but it is speculated that it may be something from the former Tang Dynasty. The material of this armor is quite special, and it is said that it does not belong to any known metal, and experts are still working on it. We don't know why Tan Fei is eyeing this armor. ”

"But, since he failed last time, how do we know that he will come and steal this armor again?

Lao Jin smiled bitterly, "Based on past experience, after Tan Fei's first failure, he will definitely come back for the second time, and usually, he will definitely succeed the second time." ”

"Oh?" Sha Bai was a little surprised.

"In the past few years, he has taken eight shots and taken away a total of six artifacts. Two of the artifacts were stolen by the first theft and the second theft. Millie added. Moreover, Tan Fei's two shots on the same cultural relics generally do not exceed three months. ”

"Understood, that is to say, based on past experience, Tan Fei should come to steal this armor again within a month or two, so we can wait for the rabbit. Sha Bai nodded.

Yang Hao added, "Another thing is very strange, Tan Fei seems to have a clear goal every time. Each time, he only took what he was aiming at, and the other things rarely moved, and he didn't seem to look at them. On a few occasions, within a very close distance of the cultural relics he had stolen, there were other things that were obviously of higher value, but Tan Fei didn't move. After the target was successful, he left in a hurry, as if he didn't care about anything else. ”

"Could it be that you don't know the value of the cultural relics?" asked Sha Bai.

Wang Kai shook his head, "This is unlikely." Tan Fei has been in the antiques business for many years, and he is a connoisseur in judging the value of cultural relics. When he stole a jade pendant from the Heluo Provincial Museum, a gold silk armor from the ancient Han Dynasty was placed in the display case next to him, and the value of the two cultural relics was not proportional at all. The jade pendant is just an ancient clothing ornament, but the gold silk armor is a personal burial item of an ancient king, which is a priceless treasure. Tan Fei stole the jade pendant, but turned a blind eye to the golden silk armor. ”

"Alright. Now that we've introduced the basics, let's talk about the action plan. Lao Jin interrupted Wang Kai and released a few new slides showing the architectural appearance of the museum, "The entrance of the museum faces south, there is only this one gate, and there is no other exit." There are a total of 11 exhibition halls in the museum. The armor was originally placed in Hall 9 and has now been moved to a more secure storage room. This storage room is located far from the museum entrance and is more secure than all the exhibition halls. ”

"The Secret Service is divided into six teams, each with three people, divided into day and night shifts, three teams during the day and three teams at night. Considering that most of Tan Fei's crimes in the past were at night, our three most capable squads, led by Yang Hao, Wang Kai, and Millie, were responsible for night vigilance. Yang Hao was in charge of the entrance and perimeter of the museum, Wang Kai was in charge of the hall, and Millie was in charge of the exhibition hall where the armor was placed. ”

"Mr. Sha, you are in charge of assisting Millie by keeping watch in the innermost layer, the storage room with the armor. ”

In the afternoon, Sha Bai and all the secret service officers drove to the museum in the city.

On the way, Yang Hao asked Sha Bai: "How can your movement speed be so fast?" This is very similar to the speed of Tan Fei we contacted before. ”

Several other agents also seemed to be interested in this issue, and they all stared at Sha Bai with a curious expression.

Sha Bai smiled and said simply: "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and my foundation is very good. Maybe the leg force is stronger, so the speed will be faster. ”

Of course, Sha Bai didn't want to talk to others about his spiritual power cultivation. Not to mention that he has a secret commitment to Liao Jiang, even if he doesn't, explaining spiritual power to ordinary people or something, everyone must be unbelievable, so why bother to speak?

It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived at the museum.

The museum is located in the western part of the city, using an antique architectural style, the walls are built in the shape of the ancient city wall, and there is a gatehouse on the gate, which looks like a small imperial city, simple and majestic.

Security at the museum appears to be strict, with black-clad security guards standing in front of the museum and several police cars parked.

Shabai spent more than half an hour walking around the museum and getting acquainted with the museum's architectural structure.

After the museum closed in the afternoon, the special service team entered the museum and began to stand on guard. As previously arranged, Sha Bai and Millie's group entered the storage room where the armor was stored to stand guard.

The night grew dark. There is nothing out of the ordinary. Sha Bai, bored in the storage room, began to carefully examine the armor in the display case.

Sha Bai had seen some ancient armor in other museums before, and most of them were made of many pieces of metal armor. The armor pieces are strung together with leather strips or cow tendons, and then rivets are nailed to some key joints to fix them, and they are combined to make chest guards, back guards, shoulder pads, shawls, etc., plus helmets, it becomes a complete armor.

And the armor in front of me, the chest and back armor seems to be composed of a complete piece of material, and the shawl and shoulder pads are also made of a whole piece of material, but the curved arc is just right, just enough to be put on the body. The hem of the armor that hangs down from the waist is a ruffle-shaped armor that can be lowered to the knees. And there are no helmets.

The armor is pale green overall, and the soft light in the transparent display case shines on the armor, exuding a dark and ancient atmosphere.

Sha Bai bent down and stared at the armor for a while, and suddenly shivered inexplicably.

These ancient things are always a bit evil, and Sha Bai decided not to look at them.

He turned around and found a corner and unfolded the cotton pad he had prepared. Meditating every night to cultivate the spiritual decision has become Shabai's living habit.
