Chapter 373: The International Thief (Asking for a Subscription, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

It was pouring rain outside.

In the vast expanse of Siberia, there is a famous prison, which is the Siberian prison that has terrified countless prisoners of the bear country, and this is a prison that can be called "legendary".

Strictly speaking, this is not a prison.

In the eyes of many, prisons must have high walls and barbed wire, but in Siberian prisons, these things are largely non-existent.

Ji Cheng could clearly see through the car window that there was no wall here, but he learned that no criminal dared to escape from prison, and the main reason was that the prison was full of wilderness and nothing, and if he escaped from prison, he would not only face hunger, but also encounter extreme cold weather.

It is rumored that most of the prisoners released from the Siberian prison have dull expressions and empty eyes, as if their souls have died, so you can imagine how terrible this prison is.

Of course, the absence of tall walls and barbed wire is only one of its features, but in fact the prison is guarded by a large number of guards to prevent criminals from escaping.

Ji Cheng met Yin Wankov, the legendary underground godfather of the Bear Country, during the visit.

This is a forty-eight or nineteen-year-old man, and generally people of this age have lost a lot of physical functions, and they will look very vicissitudes.

Ji Cheng didn't see any depression in the person in front of him, and even, he saw Yin Wankov's muscles bulging, and his eyes also revealed an unstoppable arrogance, as if this was not a prison, but his lair.

"Yin Wankov?"

Ji Cheng leaned back in his chair and smoked the cigar he had lit before getting out of the car just now.

Behind him were Liu Zhi and Vaniechka standing.

Yin Wankov glanced at Vaniechka, as if he had a premonition of something, or Vaniechka had already ventilated the message before, and a smile appeared on his face, "It's me, hello Mr. Ji." ”

Ji Cheng looked at Yin Wankov again with a deep gaze, took a puff of his cigar unhurriedly, and slowly exhaled, "Vaniechka should have told you about what I came to you about." ”

"Yes, sir." Yin Wankov said in a respectful tone.

He may not be respectful to Ji Cheng, but he must be respectful to capital.

A super-rich man of Ji Cheng's level is definitely not something that any underground force can compete with, and this time Yin Wankov also knew that Ji Cheng was here to save him, so he naturally had to behave respectfully.

"It's good to know." Ji Cheng didn't take Yin Wankov in his eyes at all, and said casually: "I took a few oil paintings and some scattered antiques over there, and when you come out, I will pay you for buying these things, and I won't discuss the specific number with you, just give you a million dollars." ”

"Yes, sir." Yin Wankov spoke very little.

Ji Cheng casually handed the cigar to Liu Zhi and asked him to hold it for himself, and then crossed Erlang's legs, "When you come out, I will set up a transportation company for you, you will serve as the vice president of the company, and I will hand over the president to another person in my company to serve, if you listen to him, he will be directly responsible for me, what about the money, it won't let you make less money, how about it?" ”

Yin Wankov barely hesitated, "Thank you, sir." ”

Ji Cheng snorted, "Ugly words are ahead, you won't make less money doing things under me, but you must not do anything illegal, you have to keep this in mind." ”

"Definitely." Yin Wankov said.

"Okay, I'll go back if there's nothing to do, and we'll see you again when I come back to the bear country in a while."

Ji Cheng said and stood up to leave.

Yin Wankov took the initiative to stop him, "Mr. Ji, how can you save me out?" Is it a prison robbery? ”

When he said this, he didn't even take the prison guard standing next to him seriously, and I have to say that he was really arrogant.

Ji Chengdu had already turned around, turned his head when he heard this, and said with a dumb smile: "I am a serious businessman, I will not do anything illegal, and I will naturally follow the normal process to save you." ”

As for whether Yin Wankov will continue to do illegal things after being rescued, Ji Cheng is not worried at all, because he has not cultivated Yin Wankov as his own person at all.

To put it simply, whatever you like, just do things for me.

……

Siberia is so far away from Moscow that it takes more than eight hours to fly away.

When Ji Cheng returned to Moscow, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening.

However, even if he was going back to China tomorrow, he still did not take a short rest, but took Liu Zhi to meet a few people behind Vaniechka, several elderly people.

Slums in the city of Moscow.

The mountains are full of overlapping shacks, like ant nests.

According to Vaniechka, at least a million people live here, and there are all of them.

For example, the mafia who is not in the mix, or the big fraudster who is obviously rich but wants to pretend to be low-key, and there are countless thieves.

The same is true of those old men, who are obviously international thieves, but they would rather live in this kind of slum, probably to avoid the sight.

Ji Chengcheng once knew that there was a famous art thief, and the same was true.

That man was none other than Stephen. Brettviser.

He and his wife were feared thieves at major museums, stealing $1.4 billion worth of art.

However, Stephen. Bretviser has been living in poverty with his wife and mother, and no one has suspected that the couple is an art thief for more than ten years.

Walk into a shack.

Four or five old men who were munching on black bread looked stunned.

One of them, a very thin and tall old man with a kind eyebrow, was about to open his mouth and drink, but when he saw Vaniechka's hideous face, he was startled, and then he stopped nibbling the black bread, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... Why are you coming to us again? ”

The other short and fat old man, who also looked very kind, said with a sad face, "We really don't have the money to pay back your boss, and the things you have taken from us are worth far more than we owe him, I beg you not to come to us." ”

Although the remaining two old men and an old lady did not speak, they could see that Vaniechka's eyes were also full of fear, as if they had been ravaged severely.

Ji Cheng looked at Vaniechka speechlessly, "What have you done to make them so scared?" ”

"I haven't done anything, I've just used some of the methods I learned in prison on them." Vaniechka said casually: "It's nothing more than waterboarding, solitary confinement, dog boxes and other small means." ”

At first, Ji Cheng really thought it was a small trick, but it wasn't until he listened to Vaniechka's explanation that he knew how terrifying those tortures were.

.

No wonder these old men are afraid of you.

No one, even if they have an iron will, can't withstand these tortures.

But that's fine, it's much more convenient for Ji Cheng to talk about things later.

Liu Zhi brought him a chair.

Ji Cheng sat down, then looked up at the five international thieves, and said in a surging voice: "Make a price and sell me the things hidden in other places." ”

"I don't understand what you're saying." The tall and thin old man pretended to be a lake.

Vaniechka snorted, "Play stupid with my boss, huh?" Believe it or not, I'll let you experience the beauty of waterboarding again? ”

The tall and thin old man was frightened, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "All our things have been taken away by you and your boss, it's really gone." ”

"Five world-famous paintings, three small statues of ancient Rome, as well as parchment scrolls, incantation scrolls, and so on." Ji Cheng looked at these old men and the only old lady expressionlessly, "You have a wide range of thefts. ”

"I stole these things." The tall and thin old man was still insisting.

"Hehe, then why does she have a string of conch beads around her neck? And it looks like jewelry made in the Victorian era. Ji Cheng pointed to the little old lady and said.

The old men looked panicked.

The little old lady's face also changed greatly.

This necklace is indeed made of conch beads, which looks like synthetic fake jewelry on the surface, and people don't know much about conch beads in the current era, naturally, the little old lady has not been found hanging around her neck for so long.

But this group of international thieves didn't expect Ji Cheng to recognize the conch bead necklace at a glance, not to mention, but also to accurately say the manufacturing period.

How do they know that conch beads have climbed to a new peak in modern society and have been sought after by countless jewelry lovers, and several exquisite conch bead necklaces in the Victorian period have been repeatedly mentioned in the jewelry industry.

"And the black colored gemstone ring you wore on your finger, if I'm not mistaken, a black opal." Ji Cheng pointed at the short and fat old man again.

Vaniechka didn't quite understand and asked, "Is black opals worth a lot?" ”

Liu Zhi also looked suspicious.

Ji Cheng couldn't help but shake his head, sure enough, only those who know the goods can find good things, otherwise they don't know even if the gold and silver mountains are in front of them.

"Much more expensive than diamonds." Ji Cheng explained.

Vaniechka glanced at the group of old men and the little old lady, revealing a fierce look, "You old things, you old things, you are all good things, and you still rely on my boss's money?" ”

The old man and the old lady secretly complained, they were international thieves, but they only had the art of stealing, and there was really no way to compare with a black man like Vaniechka, not to mention that they were old, and it was impossible for them to be the opponent of the young and strong Vaniechka.

When they were young, they stole a lot of good things, and they also tried to sell them to enjoy life, but once they sold their things, they would immediately attract the police to track them down, originally they were a group of more than a dozen people, but now there are only four or five left, and many of them have been arrested for selling stolen things.

For example, their master once disguised himself as a handyman to infiltrate the Louvre, lurked for a long time, and finally stole the "Mona Lisa's Smile", during which he was silent for two years, until 1913, when he tried to sell the "Mona Lisa's Smile" to a Florentine art dealer, and was arrested.

And they used to have a partner named Ouray, who stole the German national treasure Karl. Spitzweig's "Poor Poet" also defiantly told the outside world that he had placed the painting in a slum for immigrants in Turkey, and as a result, the man quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Not to mention their arrogant companions, even another cautious companion called Carthus, who spent seven years planning to steal art from the Museum of Mochou Palace in Boston, and then hid for many years after success, but was finally caught by the police because of the gradual loss of guard.

Under so many examples of negative teaching materials, the behavior of the only five people who have survived has become more low-key, and the stolen things can not be stolen without shooting, there is really no money, take some relatively inconspicuous and valuable things, and then sell them in other countries, hiding in the slums on weekdays, or the slums of Moscow, the bear country, which many Western countries can't imagine, after all, the current bear country system is not the same as that of Western countries.

But this group of old men and ladies still didn't expect to be targeted by Ji Cheng.

"What the hell do you want?" The tall and thin old man squinted his eyes and said, at this moment, he didn't seem to be afraid of Vaniechka.

When Vaniechka saw that the old man was so arrogant, he suddenly became angry, "You old thing still dare to ......"

"Vaniechka!"

Liu Zhi hadn't had time to translate, and Ji Cheng didn't understand what Vaniechka said, but he knew that Vaniechka must be threatening these old men and old ladies, so he specially shouted to stop the other party, and then said to Liu Zhi: "Tell these old people, just say that if they are willing, take out all the stolen things, I am willing to buy them at the market price, and rearrange them to go to a beautiful country, or other European countries, to enjoy their old age, if they don't want to, then I'm sorry, none of them want to leave today, I'll just take them to the police station, so be it. ”

"Okay, boss."

Liu Zhi relayed Ji Cheng's meaning.

When the old man and the old lady heard this, their faces changed uncertainly.

It is also true that for the sake of a series of stolen art, antiques and jewelry, they have not been able to live a good life for decades, and they really did not dare to enjoy it, and now someone is willing to buy it at the market price and rearrange their status to enjoy life, which seems to be a good thing no matter how you look at it.

However, these people still have a question, that is, does Ji Cheng have the ability to do this?

"How are we going to trust you?" The tall and thin old man asked seriously.

Ji Cheng smiled slightly, "If you don't believe me, I can only go to prison, and with the crimes you have committed, it will not be a problem for everyone to be sentenced to hundreds of years." At this point, he stood up, "You are all seventy or eighty people, if you are really sentenced, do you really want to die in prison?" ”

Silent.

The tall and thin old man was silent.

The short and fat old man and the other three also looked at each other without saying a word.

Yes, the youngest of them is in his seventies, and the oldest is almost ninety years old, if they are sentenced, will they only die in prison in this life as Ji Cheng said?

On the one hand, I believe in Ji Cheng's words, I still have the opportunity to enjoy life, and no matter how bad it is, I can return to the life of a normal person and live a few years.

On the other hand, he didn't believe Ji Cheng's words, and was finally sent to prison.

As long as you are an individual, you know how to choose.

But the old man and the old lady still hesitated, after all, those things were their life's work and spent a lifetime to steal, if they couldn't get anything from Ji Cheng, wouldn't this life be in vain?

"Let's talk about it." The tall and thin old man said.

Ji Cheng was not in a hurry, and stretched out his hand and said, "Please." ”

The five of them gathered around the corner and discussed.

Ji Cheng sat there and didn't urge to disturb, he was determined to get what this group of international thieves had stolen.

Just a few oil paintings and a few other things that were taken by Yin Wankov and Vaniechka are worth a fortune, and there must be something better left.

Especially this group of old men and ladies are international thieves, and it is basically impossible for the stolen things to return to society, that is to say, there is a great possibility that there is no one in modern society, which adds to Ji Cheng's determination to catch all the things they stolen.

It can be bought for money.

But something must be given to me!

Ji Cheng is not an unreasonable person, and his current identity is not suitable for tricks and robberies, otherwise it will be disgraceful to spread it, not to mention, he believes that if these old men and ladies get the money, they will definitely not be silent in the future, but if they don't get the money, it will be difficult to say next.

I waited about five minutes or so.

The tall and thin old man turned his head to look, "We need to get the money first." ”

Ji Cheng smiled and shook his head, "I refuse, you don't have the right to choose." ”

The tall and thin old man frowned and said, "Then what should we do if you take something and don't give money?" How do you spend the rest of your life? ”

"So you can only trust me and expect me to give money."

Ji Cheng said without a lake.

The tall and thin old man really had no choice, "Then you give a little deposit." ”

"It's okay, but I have to see things before I give a deposit, and of course, after reading things, I think I'll take them with me."

"Well, I promised you."

This group of international thieves really has no choice, after all, the few things they stole before were taken by Vaniechka, and now that Ji Cheng is here, it is obvious that those things are in Ji Cheng's hands.

In other words, as long as Ji Cheng is willing, there is no need to find other evidence, just what he got from Vaniechka is enough for the five international thieves to play completely.

The situation is stronger than people, and these five international thieves really have no choice but to be caught.

Ji Cheng snapped his fingers, "Smart choice, don't worry, with my identity, I won't be able to rely on money, take me to see your things." ”

"Yes, sir."

The tall and thin old man was about to go out after speaking.

Ji Cheng suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at a few old men and old ladies and said, "Take off all the stolen antique jewelry on your body and give it to me." ”

Victorian conch beads are a very valuable treasure.

Not to mention that Victorian conch beads can be regarded as antique jewelry, even the price of new conch beads is very expensive, collectible level per carat reaches more than 5,000 US dollars, perfect even 15,000 US dollars a carat, this old lady hangs this conch bead necklace around her neck, there are thirty or forty pieces, each conch bead is about the same size, it is expected that a conch bead is four carats, that is to say, this necklace alone is one hundred and fifty or sixty carat conch beads, worth one million dollars!

This is only the value of the conch beads themselves, and if such a large list of conch beads are put up for auction without historical value, they can increase their value a lot, and it should not be difficult to auction for two million dollars.

If history can be verified, then I'm sorry, this necklace may be worth three to five million dollars.

One priceless item after another was revealed, and presumably there were many better things hidden behind this group of elderly international thieves.

Ji Cheng is looking forward to more good things tonight.
