Chapter 619: Confusing Anecdotes

This is indeed a strange anecdote:

The ancient precious brocade with national treasure value was stolen and returned to Zhao soon after.

There are various indications that the treasure thieves seem to have deliberately made the location of the treasure known to the security guards through clever arrangements, so that the precious tapestry can be returned to its original owner. Moreover, only one of the 12 precious tapestries was stolen at that time. Why did the other 11 brocades that were put together at that time remain untouched? What is the psychology of the person who steals the tapestry? It's as weird as a mystery.

This incident happened a year ago, when the express train from Zhejiang and Hangzhou to Dongzhou stopped at Nandu Station on the way, it was found that the door on the truck was pried open.

At that time, the car was carrying General Ye Zheng, a retired lieutenant general who was traveling in Zhejiang and Hangzhou, and at the same time, this cargo car was a special carriage for the general to run Li, and the general and his wife were sitting in the first-class carriage.

In the luggage of the wagon was a treasure that the general loved - a large and precious brocade of antiquity. Since these brocades were priceless, the general carefully packed them into 12 wooden chests and nailed them to a sturdy iron frame. Now, one of the chests has been destroyed, and a precious tapestry in the box has disappeared.

No doubt. The incident shocked the entire train. However, when and where something was stolen in the carriage, even the conductor was unaware. When this thing was stolen, it must have happened in the midst of the speeding train, only to know that the perpetrator jumped from the speeding train.

The stolen precious tapestry cannot be estimated in monetary terms, it is a rarity, a precious work of art.

The bloodshot general demanded compensation from the railway authorities. Because this set of tapestries is a group of 12, not only the stolen one is lost, but the value of the entire set is also affected.

However, the railway authorities said that they could not compensate, which is somewhat unsatisfactory.

As a result, the Security Bureau immediately set up a special task force to file a case for investigation. The railway authorities offered a large reward for the arrest of the thieves and asked for the help of the community in the arrest of the thieves. Two weeks later, however, the Dongzhou Post Office unexpectedly delivered a letter to the Security Bureau, the envelope of which was tattered and the text could be seen from the outside. Who would have thought that this letter had something to do with a major theft case that shocked society. Therefore, the postmaster immediately sent someone to send it to the Security Bureau.

The letter was written by Bai Lang to his subordinates, instructing him to transport the stolen precious brocade to the Northern Capital the next day.

Just as the security guards were strengthening the guards on the traffic arteries in Dongzhou and laying a wide net, a large suitcase was found in the north car of Dongzhou. Accompanied by security guards, the station staff opened the suitcase one by one, and inside it was the precious brocade that had been lost.

The brocade was returned to its original owner, and the railway bureau also breathed a sigh of relief for solving the big problem in his heart. This time, Bai Lang greatly miscalculated, no, it was a bit embarrassing.

However, it is strange that a person as shrewd as Bai Lang would also make such a low-level mistake? Or is his men incompetent? No, it can't be, otherwise he's just suspicious. All in all, Bai Lang won't be so stupid, and at the same time, he won't stop there.

Sure enough, the next day, the general received the following letter.

Your Excellency General,

The reason why the contemptible man just took away a piece of brocade from you a few days ago was deliberate. If I had the chance, I would have swept all 12 tapestries away. Shrewd Excellency, after this little hint, you must know that the contemptible man has a shocking plan.

White Lang

The general silently read the letter several times, his two thick and thick eyebrows twitched slightly, his lips were closed, and a reserved and painful smile appeared on his face, "Wow, Bai Lang, are you challenging me?" He muttered to himself and tore the letter to shreds in anger.

General Ye Zheng is a typical military body type, with broad shoulders and a burly body. With black hair, dark skin and plain clothes, he exudes a majestic atmosphere. The general's wife, whose ancestral home is country Y, is graceful, and she is a very charming lady, but she is weak and timid, and she has been terrified all day long since the brocade was stolen.

"I was really scared. I don't know when, Bai Lang will appear again, this brocade can only attract trouble, no matter how high or low, let's sell it! Madame spoke bitterly.

However, the general's character has always been very stubborn, and he did not listen to his wife's advice, especially after reading Hakuro's letter, he was even more angry. I secretly made up my mind: Damn, I'm waiting for you, Bai Lang!

Although the general is quite stubborn and reckless, because the opponent is a white lang known as a "strange thief", he is also very well guarded. The house is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for any burglar to enter.

The general's luxury villa is located at the corner of Dongshan Street and Guangming Street. He guarded the place facing the street well. Seal off the back street and the doors and windows on both sides. Then he asked a manufacturer of anti-theft equipment to install anti-theft bells on all the windows of the hall where 12 precious brocades were hung. If you press the hidden button hidden in the wall, all the alarm bells will sound in unison, and at the same time, all the lights in the room will be turned on instantly. The place where the hidden button was installed was only known to the general.

Originally, the general was going to insure all these precious brocades. However, the insurance company learned that the other party was Bai Lang and refused to guarantee it. After much negotiation, the general finally accepted the following conditions put forward by the insurance company, and the company refused to accept the insurance: three guards must be arranged to be on standby in the downstairs room every evening, and the salary was paid by the general, these three guards were all elites carefully selected by the security bureau, and they were so skilled that they regarded Bai Lang as an enemy; Servants are those who have been hired for a long time, are of good quality, and are absolutely reliable.

The residence was heavily guarded as if it were facing a great enemy, so that the general felt a little at ease. So, one day, he exhibited the precious brocade that he was proud of, and at the same time, held a family banquet for the celebrities who came to see it.

Twelve precious ancient brocades hang in the spacious hall. This brocade comes from the hand-embroidered artwork that took four years to complete by an imperial concubine five hundred years ago, and is about 12 embroidery paintings of Tang monks taking scriptures from the West. On the picture, Tang Seng and Wukong four masters and apprentices, as well as Guanyin Bodhisattva, Buddha Rulai, etc., the image is lifelike. Even the kind of silk thread and cloth that does not change color and do not corrode are difficult to find today.

Five years ago, this set of treasures was found in an ancient house in the southern suburbs of Dongzhou. It is said that the general spent only 5 million yuan to take it for himself. It is simply unconvincing to buy these treasures at such a price, and it is impossible to buy such a masterpiece even with ten thousand taels of gold. And the one that was stolen by Bai Lang is the best of the best.
