Chapter 201 Cool ([-])
Poppy's 'casual' dinner was sent into the audio-visual room by the maids.The three of Bobby enjoyed the first-class treatment in the audio-visual room, holding the remote control to select the screen, and eating delicious food. Bobby opened a bottle of red wine to drink with Chris, and by the way despised Liang Xi who didn't drink.

The deputy curator has separated from his wife, and their divorce has entered the legal process.The deputy curator now lives in the house left by his father. The house is not bad. After all, the families who can learn art in the contemporary era are not bad.

After the three of them ate and drank enough, the deputy curator also returned home.He hung his coat on the hanger at the door, walked to the small bar, poured himself a glass of Scotch whiskey, put a few ice cubes from the mini ice machine, shook it well, and drank it in one gulp.After finishing the drink, the deputy curator put his hands on the bar and lowered his head, as if he was relieving his stress with alcohol. He lasted for a while before leaving the bar to go to the second floor.

The deputy curator took off his clothes to take a shower. It can be seen that the deputy curator had practiced when he was young, and now the fat on his body still can't cover the original muscles.The deputy curator entered the shower room, took a shower standing up, and after washing his hair, he remained motionless and flushed quietly.After a while, the deputy curator sat on the ground, hugging his knees with his hands, letting the water from the nozzle keep showering him.

Seeing this, it is basically certain that the deputy curator has a lot of worries and pressure.

After taking a shower, the deputy curator turned off the light in the bedroom, and gently raised the curtains to look out.The insurance company's vehicle was parked on the side of the road with the windows open, and two people were sitting in the car smoking, holding the cigarettes in their hands and sticking them out of the window.

Putting down the curtains, the deputy curator bowed his head and paused for a while before going downstairs to watch TV.Watching a cricket replay, without changing the channel during commercial breaks, he took a whiskey and a glass and sat on the sofa drinking it, not paying attention to the content of the TV.

Liang Xi said: "Assuming that the deputy curator took Junku, he didn't use his mobile phone to communicate with the other party, at least not his own mobile phone. I found that he didn't focus on any place at home, which means that Junku was not at home. According to my guess, he Possibly using a third-party location intermediary.”

Liang Xi said: "Assassin is a very old profession. It is said that in ancient times, if a person wanted to hire an assassin, there was a procedure. He would put money and notes somewhere, usually in a building outside the town. Such as churches, roadside pavilions, abandoned barns, etc. Assassins come here regularly, take the down payment and notes to kill people, and the employer will put the balance payment back after the person dies. This avoids the problem of the employer and the assassin meeting. There are credibility issues."

Liang Xi said: "I think that after the deputy curator puts Junku in a certain place, he will not go to this place again. There are several possibilities for what he has to do now. The first possibility is to wait for the money to be in place, and then put Junku in place. Tell the buyer the location. The second possibility is to wait for the buyer to contact me and tell the buyer the location. The third possibility is to find an opportunity to tell the buyer the location.”

Bobby said: "He didn't check his phone."

Liang Xi nodded: "Looking at the current situation, it's good news. Junku hasn't made a move yet. How is the deputy curator going to swallow the money? Is the deputy curator waiting for the buyer to wash off the stolen money? He has no ability to launder the money. The family donates real estate, or other methods...the deputy curator must need an additional identity to receive this money."

Chris interjected: "Maybe it can be more straightforward. The deputy curator went overseas to travel, and occasionally got an authentic product at a street stall to be auctioned locally. The buyer has already put money into an account that only the deputy curator can control, but the account name and the deputy curator The director has nothing to do with it. The deputy curator auctioned off the so-called genuine article, and the virtual account contacted the auctioneer to buy the authentic article. The auction house needs to keep the buyer’s information confidential, so the deputy curator got a lot of money justifiably."

Liang Xi said: "This method is fine, but the deputy curator is an ordinary person, can he complete such a complicated operation?"

Chris said: "The operation is not complicated. There are many tax havens in the world, as well as Swiss and Russian banks. They don't care who owns the funds. Some banks even know that your funds are dirty and set up handling fees on purpose. Threshold, profit from your money transfer process."

Liang Xi looked at Chris: "You know a lot." Liang Xi also understood, but he just thought that even if the deputy curator understood, he didn't know how to operate it.

Chris's heart tightened. Talking too much is not a good thing. He said nonchalantly, "When you are a road examiner in France, you can meet anyone."

Liang Xi thought it was right, so he didn't think much about it.

Chris looked up at the wall clock, it should be almost time.

……

While drinking tea and tasting desserts, at around ten o'clock in the evening, the deputy curator was lying on the sofa watching TV, but he had already fallen asleep.At this time, a mobile phone vibrated from behind the TV.The deputy curator walked over and picked up a mobile phone from behind the TV to answer the call: "Hello."

Deputy curator: "No, I've succeeded, you can't do that."

Deputy curator: "The price is negotiable."

Deputy curator: "Hello!"

Liang Xi said, "Let's go there."

Bobby followed Liang Xi and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liang Xi said: "It should be the buyer's repentance. I'm a little surprised, since the deputy curator had already succeeded on the first day of the exhibition, why didn't they complete the transaction? By now, Junku has become a hot potato."

Chris followed: "Did the price not be negotiated?"

The chief bodyguard wanted to rest for a while, but when he saw the three of them coming out, he immediately called someone to prepare the car.

Liang Xi said: "The truth will soon surface." This time Liang Xi is useless, maybe these words.Clearly he had a concrete macro view of the case.

……

After getting in the car and watching the monitor, the deputy curator was already crazy. He grasped the air back and forth with both hands, paced the living room quickly, and muttered to himself with his head down.After a long time, the deputy curator took a sip of whiskey and sat on the sofa in a daze with the whiskey bottle.After being in a daze for about 5 minutes, the deputy curator picked up his mobile phone and stayed in a daze for another 1 minute, and made a call: "Poli, are you asleep?...I have something to tell you...it's urgent...Okay, I'll wait You...drive the car to the back door, call me when you arrive...we'll talk about it later..."

Polly is the curator. Hearing this, Chris asked: "Is the deputy curator going to hand over Junku to the curator?"

Bobby said: "It is reasonable to infer that the deputy curator can't deal with Junku. Since he can't sell Junku, he will hand over Junku, and turn the big thing into a small one. Hehe, the first time I made money for the family business, it was still Two hundred million."

"Hehe." Liang Xi laughed dryly.

Bobby was dissatisfied: "What do you mean?"

Liang Xi said, "Does this have anything to do with you?"

Poppy replied, "Why is it okay? Because I put enough pressure on buyers to stop paying and sellers not to ship."

Liang Xi said: "I think you should ask the insurance company to prepare cash."

Bobby: "We'll see."

……

When the two cars arrived near the deputy curator's residence, the deputy curator got into the curator's car.The chief bodyguard contacted the hacker Haim. Although Haim told Blade about his employer's information, he was not fired and was transferred to become the manor's security guard.

Under Heim's command through traffic monitoring, two groups of people and three vehicles drove to the underground parking lot of the Oxford Street public car park one after the other.

Oxford Street is an old street just by its name. The road is not wide and there is no dedicated parking space.After the popularization and development of automobiles in the past few decades, many people put their cars on the side of the road, and the originally narrow streets were blocked.In addition to calling for travel by subway and public transportation, the municipal government has also begun to build community public parking lots.The Oxford Street community has a four-storey building with a public car park on the ground floor.

Public parking fees are very low, but there are also many disadvantages.One of those things is the presence of zombie cars.After many people change their cars or don't want their own cars, they will drive their cars to public parking lots.As for why the vehicle is not scrapped, I won’t mention it here.

There are few management personnel and less monitoring in public parking lots.The structure of the basement level is complicated, and most people in the Oxford community will choose to park in the parking lot on the first to fourth floors.Driving to the basement level, except for the cars in the parking spaces near the entrance and exit, only scattered zombie cars can be seen when going deep into the basement level.

Liang Xi and the others turned a corner and saw a zombie car on fire.The deputy curator took his coat and beat the flames. The old curator dragged him outwards vigorously, and the two fell down together.The deputy curator collapsed, knelt down and cried loudly facing the train,

Driving nearby, Liang Xi and others got out of the car. Liang Xi said to Bobby, "[-] million is burned." Liang Xi's tone was calm, which made Chris feel guilty and dared not speak BB.

The bodyguards took fire extinguishers and tried to put out the fire but failed, so they could only exit and watch the car burn.Bobby walked up to the deputy curator and asked, "Junku is in the car?"

The deputy curator was too busy suffering and crying to pay attention to Poppy.The bodyguard said: "The air from burning cars is poisonous, we need to leave here as soon as possible."

Bobby said to the bodyguard, "Take him into the car."

The chief bodyguard called a bodyguard to help the deputy curator, and the curator asked them to get into his car together, and the three cars drove out of the underground parking lot.After waiting for a while, I heard the sirens of fire engines and police cars.

Chris took the opportunity to ask Liang Xi: "Do you think the deputy director hid Junku in the car? Then it caught fire?"

Bobby leaned over: "How could it catch fire?"

Liang Xi said: "If my guess is correct, destroying Junku is the buyer's plan."

Poppy asked, "What's the purpose?"

Liang Xi said: "The buyer is jealous of Junku, he wants to destroy Junku."

Bobby: "Go to hell." There are people who really hate Bi Vinci, especially African-Americans and Christian believers.In many of Bi Vinci's works, he vilified Africans and the Holy Church, and even did the most taboo thing, painting a portrait of the leader of the Holy Church.

Liang Xi said: "The police are here, just listen to what they say."

……

Liang Xi guessed most of the truth, the oil painting was stolen by the deputy curator, but there is another mystery in it.

The deputy curator explained that his wife's new friend is a famous divorce lawyer. The divorce agreement hollowed out the deputy curator, and even his father's house will belong to his wife.At this time, he received a call, a phone that he didn't know when he put it in his pocket.

The person on the phone wanted to be handsome, but the deputy curator said it was impossible.The caller told him you could do it.The caller explained that on the first day of Junku's exhibition, security companies and insurance companies will receive threat alerts, and they will use counterfeit products to deal with them for a day.The key lies in the grasp of time.

The caller told the deputy curator that he had the opportunity to contact Junku alone, and someone would help him transfer him away from the curator.What the deputy curator has to do is to drop Junku. Junku will not participate in the exhibition on the first day, so there is no need to worry about being found out on the first day.

The deputy curator asked, after getting Junku?

The caller replied that after getting Junku, the caller would give him an account in a Pacific island country with 5 million US dollars in it.At the same time, he was informed of the method of laundering the money. It is estimated that the money that the deputy curator will get in the end is about 1 US dollars.

The deputy curator asked worriedly, how to trade?Will you be black and white?

The caller will find a way for the deputy curator. You can hide Junku somewhere. After you confirm the fund account, you can tell me the location.If you are worried about being black, I can give you a Molotov cocktail.

Before making the move, the deputy curator had already set his sights on a zombie car in the underground car park on Oxford Street.The buyer also sent him the Molotov cocktail mechanism as promised.This mechanism consists of a heat source induction trigger device and a password control.When the human body is about three meters close to the mechanism, the mechanism will be activated, and the mechanism can only be released by entering the correct password within 30 seconds.

This mechanism is similar to home security equipment. When someone enters the door, whether it is the owner or not, the alarm will enter the countdown.Enter the correct password before the countdown ends to disarm the alarm.The deputy curator knew this hand-made mechanism quite well, and he even reset the password and set a new one.

He believes that in this way, even if the buyer follows him and knows that Junku is in the car, he will not be able to take Junku away.

Next is the theft of Junku.During the theft, the deputy curator did not find his accomplice, because the security company and the insurance company arrived at the time too precisely, and the precise mobilization of the curator gave the deputy curator a chance to steal.For this theft, the deputy curator made a special rehearsal, how to cover the camera and how to steal the oil painting by scrolling with his fingers.

On the first day of the exhibition, no one discovered that Junku had been stolen.After get off work, the deputy curator hid the oil painting in the crevice of the back seat of the zombie car, and then set up the mechanism and left.After returning home, the deputy curator contacted the buyer by mobile phone, and the buyer gave the deputy curator an account number and password.The deputy curator contacted the bank, and the bank taught him to operate the network through a mobile phone.

The account is logged in, and there is indeed so much money in it, and transfers are allowed.But the deputy curator doesn't have an overseas account that has nothing to do with him, so how dare he transfer the money.The deputy curator worried that buyers would get their money back.So he changed the password, but failed to change the password.The deputy curator contacted the bank by phone, and the bank staff told him that the password of this account had just been changed, and the second change could only be made after 48 hours.

The buyer called and asked whether to confirm the account, and at the same time reminded the deputy curator that it was time to deliver the goods.The deputy curator informed the buyer that the transaction will be made after 48 hours.Buyers ask why.The deputy curator told the truth, he had to change the password of the account first, and then tell the buyer the location of Junku.The buyer was very helpless about this, and did not dare to show other attitudes, so he decided to contact again after 48 hours.

48 hours later, it was the night of the third day of the exhibition. At that time, Junku was found to be a fake, and it was revealed.The police made records and tossed all night. The deputy curator had no chance to change the account password or contact the buyer.

When the deputy curator returned home in the early morning, he saw more than a dozen missed calls on the mobile phone given by the buyer, but he couldn't redial because he didn't have a number.The deputy curator checked the account with his mobile phone and found that the money had been transferred.In the morning, the buyer contacted the deputy curator again, saying that the deputy curator had no credit, and suspected that the deputy curator had found other buyers.The deputy curator explained the situation.The buyer told the deputy curator that in order to avoid suspicion, he could only transfer money to this account after 24 hours, and the transaction had to be delayed for 24 hours.After the deputy curator hung up the phone, he logged into the account and successfully changed the account password.Any money in this account will belong to him in the future.

On the fourth night, 24 hours before 10 hours, that is, when Liang Xi and the others were monitoring the deputy director, the deputy director received a call from the buyer, who told the deputy director that the matter was too big and his boss didn’t want it. up.The deputy curator was anxious and agreed to reduce the price, but the other party ignored the deputy curator and hung up the phone.

The deputy curator had nothing to do, so he contacted the curator.The curator accompanied the deputy curator to the underground parking lot.If this kind of case surrenders the stolen goods, the sentence is usually not severe, not to mention that the deputy curator has no criminal record.When the deputy curator approached the car and was about to reach out to pull the rear door of the car, maybe there was a problem with the sensor mechanism, and a fire ignited inside the car.Almost instantly, the entire interior of the car was on fire.What followed was the scene that Liang Xi and the others saw.
