Chapter 403 The whereabouts of the oil painting(1/2)

"That's not what happened. I was not crazy 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." Davo Galli sighed, "We didn't want 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 get the museum's floor plan, security distribution map, door lock code, etc.

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

James Jauregui.

I met him in the Southern Bureau, and perhaps out of police intuition, I felt that he was suspicious of me.

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

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

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

"So, you just killed him?"

"No, I didn't kill him.

I just told Georgi about this and he said he would handle it himself.

The murder and frame-up was his idea and he sent people to do it. I only found out about it after the fact."

"You had the two hundred thousand dollars and the museum floor plan put in the warehouse rented by James Jauregui?"

"No, it was Georgi's idea.

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

But I have always been hesitant, worried that things would be revealed, and I haven't completely made up my mind.

Giorgi is a very scary guy. He saw what I was thinking and proposed to kill James Jauregui to avoid future troubles.

At the same time, I placed some "stolen items" in James Jauregui's warehouse and framed him as the mole, thus clearing my suspicion.

I was moved by his words and now I have less worries."

Luke asked, "Who killed James Jauregui?"

"I only know that it was Georgi's order, and I don't know exactly who did it.

I don’t want to get involved too much in this matter, otherwise, my identity may be exposed.” Davo Galli sighed, “I didn’t expect that you would still find out.”

"You initially planned to steal inside the museum, but then why did you change your plan to rob the transported oil painting?"

"I got the floor plan and security layout plan of the museum. After studying it with his accomplices, they 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 discover it. Then not only will there be no

If you steal an oil painting, you might get caught.

After that, we had to change our plan and rob the painting while transporting it.

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

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

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

"Where are the other strongholds?"

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

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

Except for Georgi, the other robbers didn't know my identity.

Likewise, I don't know their identities.

This is good for everyone.”

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



Robbery and Murder Division Office.

Luke called everyone to a meeting and got straight to the point, "The murdered patrolman James Jauregui was not a mole. We wrongly accused him."

Previously, when the deputy team was investigating slain police officer James Jauregui, they discovered that he had a warehouse containing the Getty Museum floor plan and $200,000 in cash.

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

Based on numerous clues, the Robbery and Murder Division speculated that James Jauregui's behavior was suspicious and that he might be the mole behind the gang that robbed the oil painting at the museum.

Now it seems that they were wrong. The real mole was Southern Branch Detective Davo Galli. He felt that James Jauregui was targeting him and asked his accomplices to deal with the troublesome James Jauregui. At the same time,

In order to prevent the police from finding out that he was a mole, he deliberately framed James Jauregui and placed stolen money and museum plans in his warehouse.

It has to be said that his methods were vicious, not only taking the opponent's life, but also throwing dirty water on the opponent.

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

Fortunately, the truth was found out, otherwise James Jauregui would have been wrongfully accused.

As for Davo Galli's confession, Luke did not completely believe it. Judging from the previous interrogation, Davo Galli made a very clean choice and blamed his accomplice Giorgi for the death of James Jauregui.

But in Luke's view, the death of James Jauregui was definitely closely related to him.

The top priority is to find the other robbers first.

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

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

Luke said, "Maybe because of the reward, the FBI doesn't want to cooperate this time. Everyone is on their own. Whoever finds the oil painting gets it."

Jackson said, "If the FBI didn't want to cooperate, why did it allow us to interrogate Davo Galli together?"

Luke laughed and said, "You really think the FBI can be lawless.

Davo Galli is a lapd, and Anthony's interrogation of Davo Galli is not as simple as he said.

But it's different when we are here.

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

So, he did this not out of good intentions, but out of mutual benefit."

Porter said, "If Davo Galli had not lied, this man named Giorgi was probably the mastermind of the robbery.

Now that we have his photo and fingerprints, we should fully investigate his identity.

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

We can also find the ten oil paintings that were robbed.”

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

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

I received another news this morning. Someone is selling an oil painting called "Rome". The painter is Svensson Pilger, who is also a famous master of Impressionism.

Last year, the painting was auctioned by the Getty Museum for $4 million.

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

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

"Jim, he runs an antique store called the House of Oddities."

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

Xiao Hei asked, "Do you know him?"



Strange House Antique Shop.

A black Ford Expedition was parked nearby, and Luke sat in the car and looked at the antique shop.

Previously, Luke accidentally obtained a vinyl record and wanted to sell it at a high price. He once inquired about the price in this antique store, and it was the boss Jim who welcomed him.

Jim offered $400,000, but Luke felt it was inappropriate, so he didn't sell it and planned to put it at Carlisle Auction House.

As a result, a thief came to Luke's house that night and stole it. The thief was Luke's current informant, Anlek Raul.

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

Luke found his old partner David, who took people directly to the pawn shop run by Jim. There were some tricks in this industry. David dealt with him and found a crime and took him to the police station.

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

Seeing how sensible he was, Luke ignored him.

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

Not far away, a white-haired old man in a suit was strolling along the roadside, holding a civilized stick in his hand. Behind him was a young white man who looked like an assistant.

The white-haired old man glanced at the black Ford Explorer and walked into the Strange House Antique Shop at a leisurely pace.

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

The white-haired old man didn't say anything. He walked around the antique shop and stopped next to a wall with oil paintings. "Is your boss here?"
