Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Stolen Oil Painting

A few months ago, Mr. Du spent 110 million US dollars to buy two famous oil paintings at a regular auction house abroad. One is the guardian of the rice field, and the other is the sunset. He intends to present it to his long-time friends of decades, two retiring directors of Duche International. The auction house sent a special plane to escort Mr. Du to Mr. Du's home. Mr. Du invited several experts to check and prove that it was genuine. The auctioneer installed a temporary alarm system overnight, and the next morning, Mr. Du sent four security guards to deliver the two oil paintings into the bank vault.

The day before yesterday, it was these two directors who attended the board of directors for the first time. Mr. Du asked four building security guards to accompany him to retrieve the paintings. The oil painting was given to the two directors. One of the directors was so happy that he invited an old friend for a drink that night and took out the painting for appreciation. However, a retired professor from the Department of Fine Arts at City A University said that the painting was a fake. Mr. Du was also present, and he was very angry and argued with the retired professor, and immediately found several experts to check. Several experts agreed that it was a fake, and then went to another director's house to identify it, and they also believed that it was a fake. And said that it was definitely not the two paintings they saw at Mr. Du's house.

lost such an adult, Mr. Du was hospitalized for two days. Mr. Du decided to call the police, but Mr. Du couldn't afford to lose this person. And spending such a huge amount of money on oil paintings will be ridiculed and gloated by the people. So, today, I brought in two internal investigation agencies in the company and asked them to investigate the truth about the oil painting fake.

Fakes are also one of the tricks, such as new products being worn. But this line of work is strange, and those who make fakes are rarely caught. According to the unspoken rules of the collecting world, if you lose money, you only blame yourself for not being bright enough. It is rare to take the seller to court after buying a fake. In other words, this industry can be regarded as a legal industry to cheat money.

Yu Ming has never made a fake, because the jishu content required is too high. Yu Ming's uncle Yan San also did not dabble in this aspect. But when he was taught, he said that fakes were much the same as deception. Take advantage of the other party's greed and take advantage of the psychology of small advantages. A type of scam that is carried out at a low cost.

If there is any difference in this case, the difference lies in the bag drop. Judging from the current information, the oil painting sent to Mr. Du's house is genuine. The auctioneer installs a temporary alarm to ensure a safe night. Only when it is sent to the bank vault, or taken out from the bank vault, or the two directors take the painting home. Packet drops that occurred during these three time periods.

When everyone else was looking at the resume of the security guard in charge of escort work, the first question that Yu Ming thought of, since the other party had the opportunity to drop the bag, Weishenme didn't directly commit theft? Unless the skill of the fake reaches the realm of the fake. The roadside news agency reported that there was a local tyrant who hung 12 authentic paintings on the wall of his home, worth more than 500 million yuan. Later, only one was found to be genuine, and the other eleven were all fakes.

Mr. Du and the two directors may not know how to paint oil, so they may just hang it up. So first look at the authenticity of the fake. If it's enough to confuse the real thing, then there is a need to drop the package. If the counterfeit is poor, there is no need to drop the bag, just steal. The fake is shoddy, and the other party has to drop the bag. That means that the other party has the need to drop the package.

Liu Mang spoke first: "At present, there are a total of sixteen security guards. The fourth was to send oil paintings to the vault. Four of them are taken oil paintings to the company. Eight of them sent oil paintings from the company to the homes of the two directors. Substituting a fake for the real thing is a sign that it was premeditated. I think we can rule out the four security guards who brought the paintings into the vault. Four security guards who took oil paintings to the company, and eight security guards who delivered paintings, were all temporary building security guards. I don't think the problem is with the security guards. ”

"But." Liu Mang continued: "I found that in addition to the security guard who delivered the vault, the other twelve security guards were all on the same shift. All of them were assigned by a security supervisor. If the security supervisor and one of the security guards are involved, it is possible to complete the bag drop theft. If you join the security guards who sent the paintings home, the number of participants reached nine. So I think the biggest suspicion is the head of security, and the four security guards who took the paintings from the vault. ”

Wang Chao said: "That's right, we took a look. The security supervisor knew in advance that Mr. Du Lao would send the oil painting to the two directors Zuihou once on the board of directors. On that day, the security supervisor did not go to work, but because another supervisor had diarrhea, he only went to work. And the reason for the supervisor's diarrhea was that he had a late-night snack with the suspect supervisor the night before. ”

Mr. Du said: "What you mean is that the suspect drugged the supervisor who was originally on duty, causing him to have diarrhea and unable to go to work. Then he took the shift and made a deal with four security guards. He provided the fakes and assigned four security guards to pick up the paintings, and the four security guards dropped the oil paintings and sent them to the company? ”

Liu Mang said: "Initially I was suspicious. Importantly, if it is an outsider who commits the crime, Weishenme wants to drop the bag and steal it directly. Dropping the bag means that they have to take out the oil painting to fool around. This shows that it was an insider who committed the crime. ”

Yu Ming nodded, although Liu Mang's character is not very good, but this analysis is very good. The first batch of people were not prepared at all, and it was impossible to drop the bag. There are too many people in Zuihou, and it is difficult to control such a large group. If it is an insider who commits the crime, it must be the four security guards in the middle link.

"What do you think of Star Company?" Mr. Du asked.

Du Qingqing looked at the other three, and Ni Qiu said first: "The details haven't been understood clearly." For example, whether the oil painting left the hands of the security guards, etc. I think this was too fast. ”

Mr. Du said: "Li Fu, you are the best employee of Xingxing Company, tell me your opinion." ”

Li Fu nodded: "As far as I know, oil paintings are not as good as antiques and other items, and it is still difficult to sell stolen goods in China." The main reason is that the number of collectors is relatively small, and there are relatively few appraisal experts. Similarly, there are relatively few targeted fakes. This fake is not something that can be bought in a regular store. It is likely that someone drew it. In my personal opinion, it is more likely that the crime of oil painting theft will be committed by an international gang. I agree with Mr. Liu's statement, and there are people who cooperate. But it doesn't have to be security. Anyone who knows the names of these two paintings is possible. ”

"One thing to note is that oil paintings, even if they are fakes, take some time to make. At least one week. The oil painting was out of the vault on the same day, and it was found to be a fake on the same day. So it must be a fake that I started making a week before I found it. Of course, it is also possible to buy the finished product directly to make a fake. I think the list of suspects is all the people who knew the name of the oil painting in the week before Mr. Du bought it and before it was released from the vault. The security guard who sent the oil paintings to the vault that Mr. Liu said was a community security guard, and I think there is suspicion. As for the building security, I don't think there is any suspicion. ”

Liu Mang said: "Li Fu, you also said that the finished product is not easy to buy, but it may not be impossible to buy." ”

Li Fu nodded: "I think you can look at the condition of the fake first and then make a judgment." ”
