LA Detective

Chapter 403
"That's not the case, I wasn't insane enough to intentionally kill a police officer.

But some things are beyond my control.

Nothing is perfect in this world.

There is no perfect case, and accidents may happen at any time. "Dave Galli sighed, "We didn't intend to rob at first, but planned to use the security loopholes of the Getty Museum to enter the museum and steal.

I used my identity as a security consultant to obtain the museum's floor plan, security distribution map, door lock code, etc.

I've been careful, but I still feel like I'm being watched.

Jens Hauregui.

I'd seen him in the Southern Precinct, and maybe it was a police instinct that I thought he was suspicious of me.

This made me very uneasy, worried that he had found evidence, even if he didn't have enough evidence to expose me before the crime happened.

Then after the museum oil painting was stolen, he might also guess me.

Luke sat in a black Ford Expedition parked nearby, looking out at the antique shop.

Vincent said to the white youth behind him, "Wait here."

Tattoo picked up the album to check, pointed to a photo of an oil painting and said, "This oil painting should be the work "Rome" by Impressionist master Svensson Pilger."

"Do you want to see my ass?"

"Where did this painting come from?"

"lapd."

Anleke was severely punished by Luke, and he confessed that Jim hired him to steal vinyl records.

"My boss." Vincent didn't hide it.

The white-haired old man raised his eyebrows and stared, "Are you the boss?"

The first priority is to find the other robbers.

Jim looked up and down the white-haired old man, "I also like the paintings of this master, but the price is a bit expensive."

The white-haired old man didn't speak, he walked around the antique shop, and stopped by a wall with oil paintings, "Is your boss there?"

Therefore, he did this not out of kindness, but for mutual benefit. "

"How about $30?"

"If you want to buy a painting, I welcome it with both hands; if you are here to find fault, please leave." Jim put on a straight face, assuming a posture of seeing off guests.

As for the confession of Dave Gary, Luke did not fully believe it. Judging from the previous interrogation, Dave Gary chose himself very cleanly and blamed his accomplice Giorgi for the death of Jens Jaureji. But in Luke's view, Jens Jauregui's death is definitely closely related to him.

As long as he can be caught, the gang of robbers can be wiped out.

The white-haired old man glanced at the black Ford Explorer, and walked into the Strange House antique shop with leisurely steps.

"It's my friend's friend, so it's not convenient to say his name." Vincent showed an expression that you understand.

"Do you think I'd spend $20 on a fake painting?"

As a result, a thief ran to Luke's house that night to steal. That thief was Luke's current informant, Anleke Lauer.

The security force is relatively weak. As long as the transportation route and time can be known in advance, the probability of successful robbery is very high. "

At the same time, Luke also found out that Jens Jauregui went to work as a security guard at the Getty Museum because of lack of money.

This sounds a bit awkward. Under normal circumstances, the seller will definitely exaggerate the product, but Jim didn't say anything more about the oil painting. Instead, he focused on pointing out that he spent 20 yuan to acquire the painting.

Is this business too easy to do? "

Luke didn't answer, and walked to the oil painting, "Boss Jim, you still have the ability, what our police couldn't find, you found it so quickly."

Vincent didn't think it was a big deal, so he lowered his head and said, "Bring someone in."

"This oil painting is not cheap."

Last year, the painting was bought by the Getty Museum for $400 million.

Although, I agreed to help him steal the oil painting.

"No, he is the only robber I have come into contact with."

"$40 million."

Jim nodded with a smile, "OK, I'll take you to see other oil paintings, real masterpieces."

Jim didn't seem in a hurry. "Can I see your police badge?"

"I want to buy some famous oil paintings. I heard that your boss has channels."

Vincent looked away, "How much do you want to sell?"

"I only know that it was Giorgi's order, but I don't know who did it.

Luke convened a meeting and said straight to the point, "The murdered policeman Jens Jauregui is not an insider, we wronged him."

Xiao Hei asked back, "Do you know him?"

"If that painting was bought for $20, why didn't you tell me it was real?
And, did I ask you to do anything?Why did I show you the police badge. "

Giorgi is a terrible guy, he saw what I was thinking, and he proposed to kill Jens Jauregui to prevent future troubles.

At this time, Xiao Hei grinned his thick lips, showed his big white teeth, and said with a smile, "Guys, I found a clue about the oil painting."

"Jim." The black man shook hands with Vincent, "I heard you want to buy paintings by famous artists?"

But I've been a little hesitant, worried that things might be revealed, and haven't quite made up my mind.

Jim looked outside and saw a familiar figure, "Captain Li, why are you here?"

"I prefer the works of oil painting master Svensson Pilger in the early 20th century."

Before, Luke accidentally got a vinyl record and wanted to sell it for a high price. He once inquired about the price in this antique store, and it was the boss Jim who received him.

"cash."

Jim looked at Luke, with sweat stains on his forehead, hesitated for a moment, nodded, "I know."

Jim gave a dry laugh. It was the first time he had seen such a policeman, and he looked more like an old rascal.

A serious merchant would not tell the price of the goods he bought, otherwise, how would he sell the goods at a high price?
If you think about it carefully, Jim may have another meaning. You can see for yourself whether it is true or not. Anyway, I bought it for $20. I would never spend $20 on a fake painting.

Not far away, a white-haired old man in a suit was strolling by the side of the road, holding a civility stick in his hand, followed by a young white man who looked like an assistant.

"No, it was Giorgi's idea.

I didn't expect this guy to start messing with these messy things again.

"As far as I know, this oil painting originally belonged to the Getty Museum. It was snatched by a group of gangsters a few days ago. Could it be you who made it?"

"I have only been to the site of the explosion, and it has been destroyed now.

It was his idea to murder and frame someone, and he sent someone to do it. I only found out afterwards. "

……

"What a slippery head." Wen Sen originally wanted to say something, but the other party was slick, and refused to tell the origin of the oil painting, nor whether it was true or not, as if the wisher had taken the bait.

In fact, I don't have much contact with them.

The House of Oddities Antiques.

Combining numerous clues, the Robbery and Murder Department speculated that Jens Jauregui's behavior was very suspicious, and he might be the ghost of the gang that robbed the oil painting in the museum.

This painting is not the original, but a high imitation oil painting. "

Porter said, "If Dave Galli is not lying, this man named Giorgi is likely to be the mastermind of the robbery.

Likewise, I don't know their identities.

Jim "..."

"If you are really a policeman, why don't you dare let me see it?"

Jim led the two of them forward to the back door of the antique shop. Jim looked at Vincent and the young man following him, "Sir, the collection room is a bit small and can't accommodate too many people."

The white-haired old man said, "My friends call me Old Vincent."

Previously, when the deputy team investigated the murdered police officer Jens Jauregui, he found that he had a warehouse, and the warehouse contained the floor plan of the Getty Museum and $20 in cash.

Except for Giorgi, the other robbers did not know my identity.

"Then why is this painting in your hand?"

"Yes."

"What do you want from our boss?" the Latin female receptionist asked.

Recently, many people have been looking for paintings by Svensson Pilger, so I just got one. "

Luke laughed, "You really think the FBI is lawless.

It's good for everyone. "

"Do you have this oil painting in the shop?"

Fortunately, the truth was found out, otherwise Jens Jauregui would have been wronged.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xiao Hei straightened his back and continued, "I have been inquiring about the stolen property of Mr. and Mrs. Gray's house on the black market before.

"Sorry, I lied about the purchase price.

Vincent stared at the oil painting for a long time, with an excited look on his face, "That's it, you can't go wrong."

"I got the floor plan and security layout plan of the museum. After researching it, Giorgi and his accomplices felt that theft was too difficult. There are security guards on duty in the museum every day. Once the theft fails, the security guards may find it. Steal a painting and you might get caught.

"What about the other strongholds?"

The deputy team said, "What do those FBI mean?"

The antique store occupies a large area. A young Latin woman stood at the door and said enthusiastically, "Gentlemen, what do you want, I can introduce it to you."

To me, he's a ticking time bomb. "

"Do I look like someone who is short of money?" Vincent smiled, pointing to a few oil paintings on the wall, "If you only have such bad paintings in your store, then there is nothing to see."

Luke said, "We want Giorgi's photo and fingerprints."

"Apart from Georgi's identity, do you know any other clues about the robbers?"

Jim didn't answer directly, nor did he tell whether it was true or false, "I just received this painting yesterday, and it cost 20 US dollars."

It has to be said that his methods are vicious, not only killing the other party, but also pouring dirty water on the other party.

Jim went to the corner, opened a locked box, and took out a wooden box from the box. Inside the box was an oil painting. The oil painting was mainly composed of half-naked women, running children, and riding on horses. man.

The ten oil paintings that were robbed were also found. "

"What type of oil painting do you want?"

Jim was unmoved.

Vincent's deputy snorted, "You spent $20 to buy a high-quality imitation painting, are you stupid, or are we stupid?"

Jim frowned slightly, "Who are you talking to?"

At the same time, put some 'stolen goods' in Jens Jauregui's warehouse, and plant him as the inner ghost, so that I can clear my suspicion.

Dave Gary is a lapd, and Anthony wants to interrogate Dave Gary, which is not as simple as he said.

Jackson said, "If the FBI didn't want to cooperate, why did they agree to our interrogation of Dave Ghali?"

"I bought it from a friend, and I have a lot to do with it. I can feel at ease after earning $20."

I just told Giorgi about it and he said he would take care of it.

Vincent took out the glasses case from his pocket, put on the glasses, and said with emotion, "This "Rome" is the famous work of Svensson Pilger. The last time I saw it was at an auction. Unfortunately, it was sold by the Getty Museum. A group of bastards cut off their beards."

"If I want to buy something cheap, I won't come here."

"OK, then which famous artist's oil painting do you want?"

We are also lapd, the pressure on the FBI will be much less.

"No."

Jim closed the painting box, "Who are you?"

……

Jim bid 40 US dollars, but Luke felt that it was inappropriate, so he didn't sell it, and planned to put it on the Garris Auction House.

"Wow, this is the first time I've seen lapd at this age."

"It's worth the price."

Not only Luke, but everyone present felt a trace of guilt and fear.

Jim looked at each other for a while, "Wait a minute."

"Da da..." There was a sound of footsteps outside.

"Okay, sir." The white man nodded and watched the two enter the back door of the antique shop.

Luke glanced at everyone, "You all know the situation, what do you think?"

"That $20 and the museum floor plan you had someone put in the warehouse that Jens Jauregui rented?"

Office of the Robbery and Murder Division.

Jim forced a smile, "You may be mistaken.

I don't want to get involved too much in this matter, otherwise, my identity may be exposed. Dave Gary sighed, "I didn't expect to be discovered by you." "

Luke smiled, "Do you still run a pawn shop?"

But it's different when we're there.

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

The Latin female receptionist walked away awkwardly, and not long after, he led a black man over, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a faint smile on his face.

The warehouse is very large, and the aisle in the middle is only about one meter. Jim led Vincent inside and came to a glass counter with a photo album under it.

Afterwards, we had to change the plan and rob while transporting the painting.

Jim is a sensible person. After being released on bail, he took the initiative to ask Luke to admit his mistake, and bought a vinyl record at an auction house at a high price. The premium was very high, and Luke made a small profit.

The back door of the antique shop is a warehouse. After opening the door, it was dark in the warehouse, so Jim turned on the light in the warehouse.

It is also one of the ten oil paintings stolen this time. "

Now it seems that they were wrong. The real insider is Dave Gary, the Southern Bureau Inspector. In order to prevent the police from finding out that he was an insider, they deliberately framed Jens Jauregui and put the stolen money and the floor plan of the museum in his warehouse.

"Sir, what's your name?"

I received another message this morning that someone is selling an oil painting called "Rome" by the artist Svensson Pilger, who is also a well-known impressionist master.

"Is this the original work of Svensson Pilger?"

"Excuse me, what's your friend's name?"

Jim took out the photo album, unfolded it and put it in front of Vincent.

"There are so many things you haven't seen, so think about how you can get out."

"Yes, I heard from my friend that you have some famous paintings here."

This was unexpected news, Luke asked, "Who is the seller?"

Luke pressed, "Who killed Jens Jauregui?"

"No, I didn't kill him.

I was moved by what he said, and I was a little less worried. "

Luke looked at the oil painting, but he couldn't appreciate it, let alone tell the truth from it, "The original painting of "Rome" is kept in the Getty Museum, and it was snatched by a group of robbers some time ago. do you know?"

old pervert.

"not my business."

Luke found his old partner David. David took people directly to the pawn shop run by Jim. This industry is more or less tricky. David cleaned him up and took him to the police station for a crime.

"I received 20 and sold it for 40, and I made a profit of 20.

"So, you killed him?"

The painting was not bought for $20, but for $1000. "Jim opened the box and showed the oil painting to Luke, "This is an antique shop here, and there are all kinds of messy things.

Seeing how sensible he was, Luke ignored him.

"Jim, he runs an antique store called 'The Strange House.'"

We now have his photo and fingerprints and should fully investigate his identity.

Vincent turned his gaze to the oil painting again, "Is this oil painting real?"

"I also followed the rules."

Luke said, "Probably because of the reward, the FBI doesn't really want to cooperate this time. Everyone depends on themselves. Whoever finds the oil painting counts."

"You originally planned to steal in the museum, why did you change to robbing the transported oil paintings?"

Jim looked at Luke, and didn't see the disappointment on his face.

After getting the news, Luke knew that it was unlikely to be a real painting. The gang of robbers planned well and acted cautiously, so how could they rush to sell the oil painting at great risk.

The reason why he personally led the investigation has other purposes.

Now that Jim is involved in this case, regardless of whether he has anything to do with the robbers, he can't get away easily.
