"It's rare for so many theft rings to come in this time. Remember one sentence: our opponents are our best teachers. Li Qi said: "Cherish this opportunity, maybe you won't be able to see all kinds of theft methods in your lifetime." ”

Li Qi is not nonsense, by the fifteenth day of the exhibition, a total of 16 works of art were stolen, with a total value of 50 million US dollars. With the exception of the U.S. pavilion, most of the stolen exhibits were poorly secured exhibits. The local government had to negotiate with the organizers whether to end the art exhibition early. But the organizers did not agree.

Ordinary people don't pay attention to the news when they watch the news and what kind of global or international art exhibition is going on in such and such a place. But if an art exhibition continues to be visited by thieves, it will become news that everyone watches every day. After dinner, everyone can also discuss: what was stolen today. Or: which country will be stolen tomorrow.

On the fifteenth day, the Berlin Art Fair in Germany became the focus of the world's attention. This was followed by a sharp increase in the number of tourists, and the price of art at auction continued to rise. It is no exaggeration to say that the theft syndicate is the main culprit in all this.

The police have not gained nothing, and in the past half a month, they have arrested 26 suspects, of which 10 have been stolen. Charges have been instituted. But without exception, all of them did not cooperate with the police, and they were arrested as their lawyers.

If you had to count the winners, the security guards still had the upper hand for the first fifteen days. But the insurance company is paying a lot of money. The only consolation is that since the two oil paintings of 15 million were stolen from the American showroom, the others are worth more than 5 million. The insurance companies in various countries divided the compensation equally, and the losses were not too great.

In fact, the data made the security guard earn a lot of points this time. Someone has counted it. Since there have been museums. There are 551 paintings of Picasso, 43 of Van Gogh and 174 of Rembrandt...... Stolen. On average, 2,000 works of art are stolen every month worldwide. This time, 16 works of art were stolen from the international exhibition hall in half a month, which is already a very good result.

On the sixteenth day, an insurance company finally went crazy. An oil painting by the Dutch master Vermel was stolen. One of the maestro's paintings, titled 'Concert', was stolen in '90 and was valued at $250 million at the time. The market share price of the stolen oil painting was $130 million. It is one of the 10 most important items in the auction on display.

There was a Chinese spray paint at the scene of the theft: "Chinese thieves come here for a visit." ”

This sentence completely changed the order, and some important collections that were not auctioned in some countries were immediately transported back to China. At the same time, the organizers said that the art exhibition will close a week early. But on the seventeenth day, a $50 million statue by the Italian master Cellini was snatched with shotguns by three masked men on its way to the airport.

Day 18. Fifteen oil paintings in an exhibition hall of a certain country were looted, worth $60 million. On the same day, the police and security arrested a total of 22 suspects. One of them was a self-thief.

If this art exhibition is a movie, it has reached its climax. Thieves sniped at any valuable work of art with impunity, and according to the head of the Berlin police department to the media, everything was on the verge of getting out of control. He thinks the last week will be the most rampant for thieves.

Not only are thieves rampant, but the number of tourists has skyrocketed again. The nineteenth day had fifteen times as many visitors as on the opening day. Many people don't come to see the artwork, but hope that they are lucky enough to watch the theft.

"Crazy." The meeting was held on the evening of the nineteenth day. Xun Xuan's opening remarks are these two words.

Li Qidao: "According to the information we have obtained, the arrest of the five major theft groups is in the minority. We speculate that at least half of the artwork was stolen by someone else. ”

"It's nice to have someone who planted it." Yuezi laughed. It's the same as the black hand. Everyone is holding a black hand sign to do bad things. The black hand is also happy to let these people fish in troubled waters to provide themselves with a broader living space.

Li Qidao: "At present, thieves are sniping at European and American exhibition halls, and there are very few thefts in Asia. However, at present, the European and American exhibition halls are already heavily gathered. So I believe that in the last six days, Asia, South America, Africa, and the Middle East will be the focus of thieves. I propose to increase the intensity of work from 10 hours to 12 hours......"

Everyone suddenly paused when they saw Li Qi halfway through speaking, and looked at Li Qi together. Li Qi frowned, put his ears on the table and said, "Helicopter." ”

Almost at the same time, the C-Zone alarm sounded. Zone C is the stone zone. The stone is not very valuable in the eyes of foreigners, what is valuable is the stone carved by the master. And in China, the price of all kinds of stones is so high that people smack.

Li Qi said: "Xiao He took people to Area A, and Jiang Ying took people to Area B." Vice President Ouyang took people to Area D, and Lan He and I went to Area C. Notify people outside the fire escape to block the fire escape. ”

The participants immediately executed and went to their own exhibition area. Li Qi and Lan He ran for a minute and a half to reach Area C. Four security guards in Area C raised their hands, and a man dressed as a terrorist pointed a shotgun at them. Two people were also sweeping various artworks into black cloth bags. There was a helicopter hovering above them.

Zone C is the skylight area with glass on top. If the sun is strong, press the button and a soft brown cover will cover the glass. Now the top two large panes of glass have been cut at some point, and three ropes have descended from the skylight, and the ropes are hanging from the bodies of the three thieves.

The security guards didn't have guns, but the police did. Within six minutes of the siren, armed police would arrive at any corner of the exhibition hall. But six minutes was too late. At the touch of a button, the rope automatically retracts and pulls them out of the showroom.

Li Qi and Lan He arrived, and the bandits guarding the security guards turned around. Li Qi dropped a folding knife from his cuffs, threw it out directly after throwing out the blade. Very precise, the folding knife pierced the throat of the bandits. Li Qi shouted, "Get down." "If the other person uses a gun, he is not a thief, but a robber. To deal with robbers, you must kill with one move.

The bandit touched the folding knife with one hand, and his whole body strength seemed to disappear, but he still pulled the trigger. Countless small steel balls hit the ground and bounced off the exhibition hall.

“GO！” A thief who was collecting the seal shouted, immediately pressed the button, and the person quickly pulled up. Li Qi rushed out, and the second thief pressed the button at this time. Li Qi ran and pulled out the folding knife on the corpse and threw it out again. The folding knife slashed through the rope of the second thief. But the rope did not break. The thieves rose to the eight-meter-high roof in one fell swoop.

The second thief's package was mostly bloodstone, Tianhuang stone and other such items, and the weight was not light. He was nervous and didn't adjust his position, and his body hit the frame between the glass. The injured rope could no longer bear it and broke with a 'snap'. The thief and the stolen stone fell from an eight-meter height and fell firmly to the ground.

The helicopter pilot severed the other two ropes, carrying the thief away from the pavilion.

The others were stunned on the spot, too much had happened in those ten seconds. Li Qi tested the pulse of the thief who fell down and said, "Call an ambulance." "It seems that people can still be saved.

It was indeed saved, the thief was under police custody and he only injured his left leg, which was lucky and not serious. He was able to speak early the next morning, but he refused to answer all questions from the police. Just asking to see your own lawyer.

The next day, local reporters interviewed people from Tinghai Security Company, Xiao Chuchu was in China, and Ouyang Jianlan was pushed out as a spokesperson. She spoke simply and to the point: "Those who carry weapons are not called thieves, they are called robbers." Not only did they steal art, but they also threatened the safety of me and my friends. I'd like to say to the thieves, as a thief, be professional. ”

The reporter asked: "What do you think of the injured in the hospital?" ”

"That's what happens if you don't play by the rules of the game."

The reporter asked: "What do you think of the Chinese thieves?" ”

"As an opponent, I still respect him more. Because he has no record of the use of weapons and violence. Ouyang Jianlan was calm on the surface, but she actually had palpitations. If something had been snatched away like this last night, the reputation of the Listening Sea Security would have plummeted. If someone had been shot last night, it would have been in big trouble. Because many people think that when a thief has a gun, your resistance is more of stupidity than courage. Yesterday's ending was very good, although it lost tens of millions of yuan of stones, but Tinghai Security not only retained its international reputation, but also added a lot of points for itself.

The reporter asked: "How much did you lose yesterday?" ”

Ouyang Jianlan replied: "I am a security guard, not an expert in this area, and the specific number of our experts is being evaluated." However, I know that there is a piece of fine field Yellowstone that is worth at least two million dollars or more. ”

Tian Huangshi looks at the condition, a good Tian Huangshi can be sold for more than 200,000 yuan a gram. Although a lot of Tianhuang stone was stolen, most of the other grades were medium to medium to upper. There is only one piece of Tianhuang paperweight, which was carved by a famous carver in the Ming Dynasty and has been worth more than five million US dollars. Ouyang Jianlan belittled her worth so that thieves could underestimate her value. Anyway, even if it is a piece of paper, as long as the insurance policy says that the paper money is guaranteed to be 10 million, then he can claim 10 million if he loses it.

Although this Tianhuang is expensive, it is not the best in China, because the quality is not the best. A domestic auction house once auctioned a Tianhuang Ruishi paperweight, which sold for a sky-high price of 41 million yuan, although it was only 200 grams.

The police also reported that because the other party was in possession of weapons, they positioned the other party as a suspected armed robber rather than a theft suspect. There is an essential difference between the two in developed countries. Even if the two charges are sentenced to the same number of years in prison, the former will spend their sentence in a heavy prison because of their dangerous nature, while the latter will generally be in a light prison and can be released on early bail. That's why the Big Big five thieves don't advocate the use of violence. (To be continued......)
