Chapter 165: Searching for Targets
In fact, it is not necessary to check the booth in advance, museums, galleries, and collectors will naturally do everything they can to sell their goods, and the trick to arranging the booth is to be simple, without any decorations, the exhibits are the protagonists, the focus of the public. What's more, how to arrange those exhibits, conciseness does not have any suggestion. She came to the booth in advance, firstly, to familiarize herself with the venue and feel the atmosphere, and secondly, to let the consignors recognize her as a person, so that when a customer wants to buy, she can summon her over and she will conduct sales negotiations.
After resting for a while on the third floor, he simply shifted his position to the rest of the venue.
There are also many over-the-counter trading points in Maastricht, those artworks that can't enter the main venue, rent more hotel meeting rooms, and then arrange their own exhibits, Wang Cheng brought six artworks in the over-the-counter trading points, so concise and then shuttled through various hotels, not only to watch their own exhibits, but also to pay attention to other people's transactions...... During this period, Wang Cheng has been wearing a big black umbrella, hiding his face under the umbrella, and he has been vigilantly searching for Huang Jie's back, but unfortunately this back has never appeared again.
When she returned to the hotel, her simple feet were staggered, and as soon as she entered the room, she kicked her high heels into the air, ran to the sofa barefoot, and threw her body in front of the sofa: "I'm tired to death, my face is stiff with a smile today, and three boxes of business cards are sent out, I'm too tired." ”
Wang Chengchong's female bodyguard pointed out: "You guys rest first, I still have something to do, I need to go out to do it." ”
Looking at Wang Cheng concisely, Wang Cheng returned to the bedroom alone and took out the hair dye to dye his hair.
This hair dye works very quickly, it is a special product for special agents, because the materials used are very expensive, so it is impossible to produce it industrially, and it is not sold on the market.
A few minutes later, Wang Cheng walked out of the bedroom with a backpack and a big black umbrella in his hand - she was stunned for a moment, if she hadn't seen Wang Cheng walk into that room with her own eyes just now, she couldn't believe that the vampire-like guy with golden hair and pale skin in front of her was Wang Cheng himself. At this time, Wang Cheng even changed the color of his pupils, he shook his finger at Jianjian, signaled the other party not to ask questions, and then walked out of the hotel room like this.
Coming to the streets of the small town, the flow of people is still bustling and even more bejeweled, and the various art dealers are contacting each other and communicating with each other before the exhibition, and the streets are full of busy men and women, and more police.
Wang Cheng came to the vicinity of the place where he met Huang Jie, and finally avoided everyone's gaze, and he spread a black umbrella in a secluded alley...... Three minutes later, the umbrella was put away, and under the umbrella, Wang Cheng's Ferre suit was gone, he changed into a brown jacket, gray pants, and the black Ferre leather shoes on his feet. When he walked out of the alley, Wang Cheng saw that no one was paying attention to the left and right, and threw his bulging backpack into the trash can, which contained the Ferre suit and shirt he had changed.
Quickly leaving the trash can, Wang Cheng put up the collar of his jacket, whistled and walked leisurely to the front, at this time the sunglasses on his face were gone, the ring on the gloves was gone, his sunny face was full of youthful atmosphere, and his appearance and temperament were no different from local young people.
Walking past a nearby bar, Wang Chengchong whistled at a teenager pushing a bicycle on the side of the road and asked, "Do you sell bicycles?" ”
Wang Cheng completely used the local accent to communicate with the young man, and the young man also completely regarded Wang Cheng as a local, and he smiled and asked, "How much do you give?" ”
Wang Cheng whistled again: "Five euros? ”
The young man pushed the handlebars: "Ten euros and it's yours." ”
Wang Cheng grinned: "For ten euros, I can buy a new car." ”
The young man responded: "But you don't have to walk for ten euros, but I'm going to walk back." ”
This speech convinced Wang Cheng, Wang Cheng nodded, took out a crumpled euro from his pocket, stuffed the money to the other party, and then pedaled away on his bicycle.
Next, Wang Cheng looked like a Dutch "local sling", wearing ordinary clothes, riding a new bicycle, wandering the streets and alleys, and did not rush back to the hotel until midnight.
At this time, Jian Jian and the female bodyguard of course slept together, Wang Cheng gently went into his room, took out the computer to log on to the local network, entered a series of street names, and began to search for the rental records of these streets in the past month.
Just now he rode his bicycle around, just to write down the names of the nearby streets - Huang Jie was already a frightened bird at that time, she didn't dare to stay in a hotel, so she could only rent a nearby house, and the street where she appeared was probably rented nearby - because Huang Jie was on foot, which means that she needed to walk a short distance, or she happened to leave the lurking point at this time and return to her rented house.
Regardless, she doesn't live too far from where she appears. And the reason why she decided to give up monitoring at that tea time was because the next day was the opening ceremony of Tefaf. Although there are many previews before the opening ceremony, it is customary not to trade, because only after the exhibition starts that the big merchants arrive, and the exhibits can be sold at a good price, so as long as she knows that the exhibits have not changed before the opening ceremony, she can wait for the exhibition to start, and then wait for the person who took her father's collection to appear.
Huang Jie's selection of the Waiting for the Rabbit Point cannot be the main venue, because the main venue requires a special invitation to enter, and the first three days of the exhibition are not open to the public, and after three days, the super-rich people have bought everything that should be bought, and the rest of the things will be open to the public.
Wang Cheng successfully infiltrated the local surveillance network and began to look for a Facebook similar to Huang Jie, he did not bother to find local entry records, because Huang Jie is from Hong Kong, many Hong Kong people have British passports, the Netherlands is a signatory to the Schengen Agreement, and British passports are visa-free, and the local immigration office will not leave Huang Jie's entry records.
Facebook search is a huge project, and after three hours of computer operation, Huang Jie's surveillance image was found in a nearby convenience store, in which Huang Jie basically did not change, except for a large flower headscarf and a pair of sunglasses covering her cheeks.
Wang Cheng took convenience stores as the center, then searched for nearby housing rental information, selected more than a dozen suspicious points, and began to search for Huang Jie's activity records near these rental houses—surveillance cameras on the streets, surveillance images of hotels and cafes...... As the net became denser and denser, Wang Cheng finally identified a suspicious point, and then used this suspicious point as the center of the circle to connect the location where Huang Jie appeared - the other party's selected point of waiting for the rabbit was also determined, the item was a string of jade necklaces, the water head was very good, and the estimated value was around six million US dollars. As it happens, this thing is an over-the-counter item.
After doing these tasks, it was already dawn, and Wang Cheng, who had not slept all night, shook his head and sighed deeply, he was sighing for Huang Jie's fate. It was only at this time that Wang Cheng deeply realized how important some of the specially emphasized content in the camouflage course was - Huang Jie completely abandoned everything in the past, had no mobile phone, did not contact friends, blended alone in the vast sea of people, and approached the venue unobtrusively, but she did not expect that she would leave so many flaws when she showed her true face and completely exposed herself.
There was a sound in the simple room, Wang Cheng hurriedly packed up his notebook, went to the bathroom to wash his cold face, and after Jian Jian walked out of the bedroom, Wang Cheng was ready to go, he changed into the Dolce & Gabbana costume, brought gloves, rings and ties, and the perfect image made the concise eyes blurred. Before going out, he looked at Wang Chenggang's dyed hair concisely, and said insincerely: "Should I also comb my hair...... Well, it's too late today, you can also dye it for me when you go back, and changing the hair color is also a new outfit match. ”
In fact, what I really want to say is: you kid is so handsome!
At this time, the guests who walked out of the hotel were the VIPs who participated in the opening ceremony, followed the flow of people to the street, concise all the way to greet the people who met yesterday, this is a woman who gave a little sunshine, there is such a stage, concise swims in it like a fish in water, only yesterday half a day of effort, she has met a lot of noble women, and many wealthy businessmen have become "acquaintances" who can be called by each other's names.
Outside the main venue, Wang Cheng found that there were a lot of police today, and the VIPs attending the opening ceremony were waiting outside the venue for the police to check, but the police moved very slowly and checked very carefully, so that a bunch of people were crowded outside the door, and everyone whispered, as if they were passing a message. Jane Hua fluttered into the crowd like a butterfly, and after a while, she got the exact news: "I heard that the Queen of the Netherlands has entered the main venue, so the vigilance is extra strict today, ah!" I hope that the queen does not have the habit of giving opening speeches at length like domestic leaders. ”
It is true that the queen is not in the habit of giving opening speeches, and no one at this meeting gave opening speeches at all. The queen entered the main venue in order to view the artwork, out of respect for the royal family, no one will trade before the queen is over, so everyone is not in a hurry to enter the venue at this time, until the queen said goodbye and left, and the art dealers crowded at the door waiting for admission moved their feet to the security gate - these art dealers waiting outside the venue are basically small people, and those rich families have entered in advance to accompany the queen to browse the artworks together.
Even when they entered the venue, the merchants waited tacitly, and if the queen took a fancy to a certain work of art, the royal housekeeper would come forward to negotiate the price. Sure enough, when Jian Jian entered, a consignor who was waiting for her to appear at the door stopped Jian Jian and said eagerly: "Ms. Jane, the staff who accompanied the queen on the visit just informed me that the royal housekeeper wants to meet you, please ask to see him as soon as possible." ”
Jian Jian took a deep breath, and she looked at Wang Cheng nervously: "What do you mean by this?" ”
