Looking at the back of Uncle Fang going upstairs, Jin Muchen felt that a layer of white sweat had appeared on his back.
I'm really careless, I want something good, it's also a problem!
Uncle Fang told himself before that in the past two years, the FBI has stepped up the investigation of stolen artworks, let yourself be careful, and he has also taken it as a deaf ear, it seems that Jiang is still old and spicy, at least this experience of preparing for a rainy day is something that he does not have as a young man.
The United States is the world's number one country and has the largest number of billionaires in the world, and these billionaires have a wide variety of tastes, especially when it comes to antiques and art.
So every year, art thieves from all over the world try their best to search for things that meet the tastes of the rich people all over the world through various channels, and then ship them into the United States to sell.
In recent years, these art thieves have not only limited their attention to the United States, but even begun to shift their attention to collectors in the United States.
So in recent years, there have been frequent thefts of antiques and art across the United States, and a lot of good things have been stolen.
The owners of the theft are not only limited to those antique collectors, but also many museums in the United States, large, medium and small museums of all types.
And these stolen owners are generally not small, so when the local police can't solve the problem, they will find the FBI to solve the problem, and constantly put pressure on them.
It is precisely because of such problems. The FBI has been in recent years. A task force has been set up to recover artworks. Specializes in cases of antiques and works of art that are lost in the United States and trafficked abroad into the United States.
Moreover, they have also set up a special website to upload all kinds of antique materials lost across the country, so that all antique shops and collectors across the country can help pay attention, in fact, it is also to warn these antique store collectors not to buy such antiques.
Once they find out, the antique store secretly recycles these antiques, and the antique store will be in big trouble.
Shopkeepers are arrested for selling stolen goods. Fines and jail are the most common.
Moreover, Uncle Fang also told him that some FBI agents, when they suspect that some antique shops are collecting and selling stolen goods, if they can't find conclusive evidence, they will often resort to phishing law enforcement.
Take some antiques that have been recovered by them, go to the store and sell them as thieves, if the antique shop owner is greedy, it is very likely that he will be pressed on the spot.
In recent years, there have been a lot of greedy antique shopkeepers. Hit the trick.
Uncle Fang had told himself before, but unfortunately he was proud of the spring breeze at that time. So I didn't listen to it much.
If it weren't for Uncle Fang's reminder today, he might have been tricked.
Think about the morning when I scolded that Brian and kicked him out of his shop, and told him at the time that next time I came back, I wouldn't want to enter unless he had a search warrant.
Thinking about it now, they must have been quietly following them for a long time, and there must be no conclusive evidence, otherwise they would have come to the door with a search warrant.
And if he had fallen into that trap just now, wouldn't it be equivalent to reaching out and sending them a search warrant?
Thinking about the appearance of the guy who came to buy something, as soon as he came in, he pretended to patrol his store several times, but unfortunately at that time he still regarded him as an ordinary guy who came to sell stolen goods, but he didn't expect this guy to be the bait released by the FBI guys.
The more Jin Muchen thought about it, the more frightened he became, thinking about what Uncle Fang said, he hurriedly returned to the back workbench, turned on the computer, and clicked on the link to the FBI's website for stolen artworks.
After a few pages, I found descriptions of these two items.
It turned out that these two items turned out to be in the collection of the Oriental Pavilion of the University of Minnesota Museum, and the original owner of the jade bowl was the British collector, Charles. Harding.
He bought the bowl from British sailors who had gone on an expedition to China, and he later immigrated to the United States, brought it to the United States, and donated it to the University of Minnesota Museum before his death.
And the porcelain carving of the Seven Fairies on the boat is also the collection of Mr. Harding, but this is the porcelain he specially sent to China to customize, the origin is the same as he guessed, it belongs to Fu @ Jiande @ Hua, and it is a rare fine export Dehua white porcelain works that year.
The two treasures were stolen in 2009, when the museum estimated them at a minimum value of $2 million.
Since then, these two treasures have disappeared and have never appeared on the market again, and the FBI has not given up the recourse to these two treasures.
When he saw the introduction of these two treasures on this website, a layer of hot sweat had already broken out in Jin Muchen's palms, and it seemed that Uncle Fang should not have guessed wrong.
These two treasures should have been recovered by those FBI agents, but they have not been returned to the University of Minnesota Museum, and now they should still be evidence left by FBI agents, and they should not be returned to the University of Minnesota Museum until the case is tried.
That's why those FBI agents took it as bait to tempt themselves, and if they agreed today, I'm afraid that as soon as they arrived, they would be captured on the spot.
When the time comes, I won't be able to argue, and these guys are really cunning.
No, you have to think of a way to dispose of these guys, you can't let them continue to follow you like this, Jin Muchen thought of this, and his heart was crossed.
But immediately there is a headache, how easy is it to deal with them?
They are a well-known law enforcement agency in the United States, and they have the right to guns, so can they still kill them? In that case, it will be a big problem, and it will only cause more trouble for yourself.
So how do you get rid of them? Do you just let them keep an eye on themselves like this? Eyeing for years?
Thinking that in the next few years, he might have to live under a magnifying glass, Jin Muchen felt uncomfortable, and he couldn't do it like a way to solve these people......
That evening, he drove to Columbia University to pick up Candace after school, and then took Uncle Fang out for a meal, and when he got home, several people watched TV and reviewed their homework, and it was normal for them to watch their homework.
After the lights went out, he pulled Candace to do some exercise, and after Candace fell asleep from exhaustion, Jin Muchen quietly got up.
He quietly came to the study on the fourth floor, pulled the shutters in front of the window down a crack, and looked out through the gap, and sure enough, on the street opposite the house, he heard a black Chevrolet SUV.
The car had been parked there since this morning, and it was still parked there for almost a day and a night, and there was no place to move, which is rare.
Because of the shortage of parking spaces in front of their homes, Jin Muchen can often pay attention to the situation of roadside parking in front of their homes, and many residents in this neighborhood will grab parking spaces on the side of the street in this neighborhood every night, but they will usually drive away the next morning.
During the day, he came here to park again, and he was also passing by to do errands, and he would not park for too long, like this car, it was more than 20 hours to park, and it was the first time he had seen it, so if he guessed correctly, the car should be the person from the FBI who stayed and kept an eye on him.
If it was before, I would definitely be helpless, but now? Hum!
Jin Muchen stripped off his clothes, waved his hand, put the clothes into the purple jade space, and then began to concentrate, silently in his heart, and after a while, his whole body gradually disappeared into the darkness......
"Jack, Jack, did you see that?"
David, who was sitting in the driver's seat of the SUV, stabbed his companion next to him, Jack, who was dozing, and reluctantly opened his eyes.
"See what?"
"I seem to see someone crawling out of the fourth-floor window of that house!"
Jack immediately picked up the telescope on the instrument panel and looked at the target building, only to see a red brick wall.
"What are you doing? Where is the half-ghost? Man, are you too tired! ”
"Uh...... Maybe I'm dazzled, Made...... We've been staring here for days, but we haven't found any bird feathers, and we don't know what's crazy on it, this guy is obviously just a lucky ordinary person. ”
"That's it, it's all to blame on that damn Brian, we don't know when we're going to keep an eye on this case."
The two FBI agents in charge of surveillance couldn't help but curse, but they didn't expect to scold their boss behind their backs, which made the two of them feel a lot better, and they didn't notice the sneer that crossed their car window......
"Bang ......"
There was a knock at the door, Kate bounced off the bed, then turned off the TV across the bed, glanced at the bear vibrator in her hand, she could only tuck it under the pillow, and then pulled out the pistol from the pillow, so late, I don't know who was so disappointed.
She glanced at the Victoria's Secret sexiness on her body, as well as the pair of black stockings on her legs, and hurriedly grabbed a silk pajamas from the bedside and draped them on her body, and then came to the door, and looked out from the cat's eye, why was he?
She opened the door, and Jin Muchen, who was standing at the door, smiled at her: "Hey! Kate, I'm sorry to bother you so late, but I just have a few questions, and if I don't ask, I can't put my mind at ease. ”
Kate opened the door and motioned for him to come in, "Okay, what the hell do you want to ask?" (To be continued......)
