Chapter 789: Keep Him!
Although it was the second half of the night, the Chicago Police Department building was brightly lit, and countless heavily armed police officers were guarding around the building, as if there was some important mission, waiting for them.
There were constantly interview cars parked around the police station, and reporters carrying cameras and microphones all poured into the police station, and they had to do interviews when they caught the police, which made the police station very chaotic for a while, seriously hindering their normal work, which made the police station high-level finally have to pull up a cordon and prohibit anyone from entering the police station building.
It's just that the cordon did not discourage the interest and enthusiasm of these reporters, on the contrary, the more the police were like this, the more the reporters felt that the rumors might be true, so they squatted around the police building one by one, regardless of the sleepiness and cool breeze, hoping to shoot something.
At four o'clock in the morning, when many people were sleepy and dozing off, several police cars came from afar, breaking the calm of the night, the cordon was opened at this time, and three police cars entered the police station in a row.
The police car stopped in front of the police building, the door opened, and several middle-aged people and a few white-haired old men stepped out of the police car, they were dressed very ordinarily, and they were not handcuffed, and looking at the police's polite attitude towards them, they did not look like prisoners escorted, and the two sides even shook hands with a smile.
"Click, click!"
Some reporters saw this scene and immediately pressed the shutter, and those who reacted slowly had no time to shoot, and the subject had already entered the police building.
"It's the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art!" A reporter said loudly.
"There are also branch directors, as well as experts in the art of painting."
"It seems that the rumors from the outside world are true, and the stolen famous painting has really been found here."
"It's big news that the stolen paintings have been found, but I'm more concerned about who the people who stole them, and whether they were careless about stealing nine famous paintings from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, only to be caught in a hotel in Chicago? Or is there another reason? Don't you think it's too easy to capture? The Metropolitan Museum of Art has not found any clues about the thieves. ”
"Maybe it's getting carried away."
A few hours ago, some local media in Chicago received a news that nine famous paintings stolen from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York had been found in a local Chicago hotel, and the police had brought the famous paintings and the suspect back to the police station, and were waiting for the relevant personnel of the Metropolitan Museum of Art to come and examine them.
In fact, at first, everyone thought it was impossible, the thieves were able to escape the surveillance of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which shows that this group of thieves is very careful and professional, how could they be found in the hotel so easily? And how did the thieves get the nine paintings from New York to Chicago, and if the thieves were able to get the paintings to Chicago, why not take them to some remote city, wouldn't it be safer?
However, when some reporters called their police friends and learned that the news was indeed true, although it was late at night, they all went out and gathered around the police building, waiting for further results.
Even some New York media rushed to see for themselves the true face of this famous painting thief.
Ten minutes after the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and others brought in, bursts of cheers suddenly came from inside the police building, making the reporters standing outside puzzled, what happened to make these policemen so happy? Don't......
A few minutes later, a message was updated on the official website of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
"All nine stolen paintings were found, thanks to the Chicago police, thank God ......"
Exploded, seeing this news, all the reporters waiting outside the police building blew up, really, it turned out to be true.
Some reporters couldn't help but cheer loudly with excitement, rejoicing that the stolen paintings had been found.
Although it was already early in the morning, it did not affect the speed of the spread of the news, and the TV station also temporarily added news to report on the incident, and some art lovers also called each other, ran to tell each other, and some even cried with joy.
Now, the theft of the famous painting has finally been solved, but there are many problems in everyone's minds.
Who exactly stole the nine famous paintings from the Metropolitan Museum of Art?
How did you evade the Metropolitan Museum of Art's security measures, and didn't leave any clues, I believe that the process must be very exciting, and it can even be made into a Hollywood blockbuster.
Soon, the reporters who were squatting outside finally got the news that the Chicago Police Department and the Metropolitan Museum of Art would hold a case briefing in front of the police building at 9 a.m. to announce the theft and answer questions from reporters.
As a result, the reporters who had been waiting for a long time began to leave, making up for sleep, writing scripts, and preparing for the next case press conference.
At half past eight o'clock in the morning, the Chicago police building was already full of people, not only the local media in Chicago, including the New York media, but also the media from all over the United States, and even some foreign media in the United States, all sent reporters, the number of which reached several hundred, in order to get first-hand information about this world's largest famous painting theft.
At nine o'clock, the case press conference began on time, and the Chicago Police Commissioner and the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art appeared on the stage together, first the police chief told the whole process of last night's operation, and then the museum director confirmed the authenticity of the famous painting, and thanked the Chicago Police Department, and then finally came the time for questions.
"Mr. Director, may I ask how you managed to lock up the thieves, according to the previous reports, the thieves did not seem to leave any clues when they stole it." A reporter asked.
"We received clues from enthusiastic citizens, and then locked the target according to the clues, and after finding out the basic information of the target, we took action in the middle of the night, and finally destroyed the theft." The police chief said with a smile.
"So, Mr. Director, can the identity of the thief be revealed? I believe that many people are very concerned about this matter. ”
"This is a gang crime, and it is a family crime, there are more than a dozen people, and most of the members are women, but the mastermind of the case is a man, and he is also the owner of an art auction company, so it can be said that he knows a lot about art......"
"Can you tell us about the theft?"
"Due to the tight organization of this gang and the rush of time, we have not yet learned the specific theft process from their mouths, but we are stepping up the offensive, and I believe that it will not be long before they will obediently confess, after all, they have obtained stolen goods, and they cannot deny it, please believe that our Chicago police have such capabilities."
“……”
The most curious thing about the whole theft is the identity of the thief and the process of theft, but for these two questions, the director did not give a clear answer, which made the reporters present feel very disappointed.
Some reporters were unwilling to ask around the corner, hoping to dig out something from the mouth of the police chief, but the result was just a diversion, that is, there was no comment, and many people lost interest, and you showed us this when you took off your pants?
So it didn't take long for the case press conference to end hastily, and some reporters left the police station with complaints.
"Boss, this director's ability to brag is really good, he obviously doesn't know anything, and he pretends to know everything there, and he really wants to go up and punch him hard."
Outside the press conference, Li Dacheng and Eliza and other women, standing in the crowd of art lovers, watched the press conference from a distance, and as soon as the press conference ended, the crowd dispersed, and Li Dacheng left.
"It's normal, people are all arrested, you can't say anything you don't know, right? That's shameless. Li Dacheng said with a light smile, very satisfied with the big drama he directed.
"Actually, he should thank me, if it weren't for me, an enthusiastic citizen, how could they catch the thief?" Lan Qi said with a smile that she was the one who called the police before, which allowed the famous painting case that shocked the world to be solved in a very short time.
"Then you should thank the boss, if it weren't for the boss, how could you have the opportunity to be this enthusiastic citizen?" Meisha said.
"Boss, now that the Dirk family has been arrested, what are we going to do next?" Eliza asked, this was what she cared about, a small planting, not as exciting and painful as the assassination.
"After being busy for so long, you can rest for a while, go shopping, buy and buy, go where you want to go, buy what you want to buy." Li Dacheng thought for a while and said.
"What about you, boss?" Eliza asked, it's really useless to be able to work for such a boss, other people's bosses only know to let employees work overtime, and this boss of hers not only gives employees holidays, but also makes employees buy and buy.
"I'm going to Italy, and I don't know how long I'll be able to stay." Li Dacheng said, now that the matter of Beba is solved, the Dirk Auction House is estimated to have to close in a few days, he is going to Italy to tell Nino the news, if the other party does not join, then he can only let the other party evaporate, he is already disgusted with this wait, anyway, what he can't get, others don't want to get.
Eliza and the girls looked at each other, and then said to Li Dacheng, "Boss, let's go with you." ”
"Why?"
"We don't have anything to shop about, and we don't have anything to buy."
Li Dacheng looked at a few women, and then said, "Okay, you can go wherever you want, anyway, don't delay my business." "This time I'm going to find Nino, and it's not a private matter, so there's no need to hide anything, not to mention that there are so many beauties around, which is also a pleasing thing.
Hearing the words of Lidi Ah Cheng, several women's faces showed happy expressions, for them, shopping or something, once or twice once in a while is fine, in contrast, they prefer to live with a purpose, and Li Dacheng can bring them goals and hopes.
So, in the afternoon of the same day, Li Dacheng left Chicago by plane, accompanied by four women, Eliza, Ciri, Meisha and Lanqi, and Duffy and Paulina stayed at Huaigu's branch in New York, and were responsible for receiving Qi Mengyao.
Ranmi, Italy, Dirk Art Auction Company.
When Li Dacheng came here, the company's door was closed, today was a working day, and it was working time, this situation really shouldn't be, is it because the auction is over, and all the employees of the company have begun to take holidays? But you can't even have no one on duty, right? Is this business still going to work?
"Boss, I just went to the other side to inquire, the matter in the United States has reached here, the Dirk auction company did not open today, I heard that since yesterday afternoon, a large number of reporters have gathered here, and many people have pulled banners to protest in front of the gate, and some people even threw stones at the people who came out of the company, the scene was very chaotic for a while, and even the local police were alarmed." Ciri walked back and said to Li Dacheng.
"Wouldn't it? Didn't the identity of the thief never be revealed? Eliza asked strangely, they were all present at the press conference, and they also heard the words of the Chicago Police Department Theater, and they didn't say a word about Beba and Dirk Auction Company, only that it was an auction company.
"There are no impermeable walls in the world, and you think so many journalists eat for nothing? The investigative ability of the reporter is no worse than that of the police, and even if the police do not say it, the reporter can find out the details of the person who was taken away by the police through the hotel. Li Dacheng said lightly, he was going to tell Nino in person, but now it seems that he is late, and he doesn't know where Nino will go back after the company closes, and he won't go to the United States, right?
Li Dacheng took out his mobile phone from his pocket and was about to call Nino, when suddenly the mobile phone rang, and he looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Zheng Tong calling.
"Hey!"
"Boss, I'm Zheng Tong, the company just came to an old man who applied for a job, it's very powerful, I think I can hire him? I packed the ticket and he really is a talent. Zheng Tong's voice came from the microphone.
An old man applying for a job?
Li Dacheng was stunned when he heard it, and turned his head to look at the Dirk Art Auction Company that was closing in front of him, it wouldn't be such a coincidence, right? Lose an old man here, and there is an old man over there?
"What's his name?" Li Dacheng asked.
"Nino is an Italian." Zheng Tong replied.
"Leave him in the company and wait for me to go back!"
