Meng Lang here is busy digesting the spoils obtained in the battle at the orphanage.
On the other side, Wang Zhaoping's Criminal Investigation Brigade also deployed heavy troops outside a slightly old wood processing factory building in the mountainous area on the border of Suzhou and Hangzhou...
"This is Archie, are all the teams in place? Please reply, Zizi~"
[The gray and gray team is in place! Zhi~]
[The Maomao team is in place! Zhi~]
[The Tiantian team is in place! Zhi~]
【……】
"Very good, all units should pay attention to the main entrances and exits. Once the operation starts, they are only allowed in but not out. No suspect inside can be allowed to escape!"
After speaking into the intercom, Wang Zhaoping turned to look at Qin Xiaoru with some confusion.
"By the way, I just felt something was wrong. Who came up with the codenames for each group's operations this time? Why do they all sound weird?"
"Haha..." Qin Xiaoru showed a strange smile. "So, captain, you still need to spend more time with your child."
"What does this have to do with spending time with your children? Besides, during this period, the cases were one after another. I only stayed for ten days and a half, so how could I take care of my family?
Hmm... But after this operation is over, it's time to take a good vacation..."
Thinking of his son at home, Wang Zhaoping couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
But after a while, he put away this trace of sadness, picked up the telescope and observed the movement in the lumber factory again.
On the surface, this is an ordinary wood processing factory, with seven or eight workers cutting wood in the open air.
Seeing Wang Zhaoping's cautious look, Qin Xiaoru couldn't help but leaned over and asked.
"Team Wang, you suddenly dropped the case and led us to this barren factory. Is it possible that the Buddha head we are looking for is hidden in there?"
"have no idea."
"I don't know?" Qin Xiaoru was stunned for a moment. "I don't know, so what are we doing here?"
"In fact, when our police handle cases, sometimes it is like opening a blind box. Who knows what the truth is before solving the case?"
Hmm...that seems to make sense.
But who handles the case with the intention of opening a blind box from the beginning?
"Then let's..."
"Shh! Don't talk!" Wang Zhaoping suddenly raised his hand to interrupt the other party.
In the field of view of the telescope, two cars driving from the country road just drove straight into the factory...
At the head was a big black G, followed by a semi-trailer filled with thick logs.
I carefully observed the vehicle at the beginning, well...it was worth a lot of money at first glance. It seemed that it was the big fish in the intelligence!
"Attention all action teams, prepare for action!"
…
"Chi~" Two cars drove into a three-story factory building one after the other.
As the rolling shutter door of the factory was lowered again, a pair of shiny crocodile leather shoes landed on the big G at the beginning, and a bloated middle-aged man in his fifties, holding a cigar in his mouth, walked down in a crowd.
Wearing gold and silver, the emeralds on his fingers are extremely eye-catching, and the tight Hermès belt around his waist can barely cover his round belly.
"You guys, go and look around. Ah Bao, unload the things in the car."
"Yes, boss!"
A bodyguard with a heavy back and a sinewy face, except for the words "I am Heisehui" written on his forehead, greeted him, and immediately several young men in blue shirts who looked like workers climbed onto the semi-trailer, lifted the tarpaulin, untied the rope and started
discharge.
"Boom~" In a burst of smoke and dust, redwood trees weighing several tons were unloaded by auxiliary pulleys and arranged neatly in the factory.
Then someone took a chain saw and began to cut the wood very carefully along a specific line.
"Crack!" The wood was split in two from the middle. After everyone worked together to move it away, they discovered that it was actually hollow inside.
The waterproof cloth and plastic foam used to prevent moisture and shock were lifted, revealing pieces of ancient bronzes, porcelain... and even various rusty ancient knives, coins, gold and silver jewelry...
Then came the second and third logs...
The cultural relics were carefully packed into boxes one by one, and then carried by workers into the corridor not far away.
However, they did not go upstairs, but followed the downward corridor to the underground floor. After passing through three thick explosion-proof steel doors guarded by many people, there was a strange cave inside!
Under bright lights, in thousands of square meters of underground space, a dozen people wearing masks and gloves are busy here.
Some are cleaning the rust on the copperware, some are imitating ancient paintings, and some are coloring the porcelain to make it look old...
"Huh~" blew out a smoke ring, and the fat boss looked at the orderly scene in the basement and showed a satisfied smile.
Speaking of the underground space here, it is still an abandoned air-raid shelter left over from the time when "dig holes deeply and store grain widely".
No one would have thought that it would be transformed into a secret production base by him...
"Let's go to the warehouse!"
As the boss behind the scenes, he rarely shows up here, and things have long been left to his subordinates to take care of.
But every once in a while, he would come to check the accounts and take away the profits during this period, in order to prevent anyone among the younger brothers from watching and stealing.
But this time, as soon as I sat down on the boss's chair and was about to open the account books that had been prepared on the table, a young man ran over with a express box.
"Boss, I have a courier for you."
"Express delivery?" The fat face was stunned for a moment, then frowned.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could my express delivery be sent here?"
The boy scratched his head blankly and said, "I don't know, your name is indeed on the express delivery, boss..."
The fat boss felt something was wrong, "Ah Bao, open it and take a look! Be careful."
"Yes, boss!"
However, Abao carefully opened the tape of the express box and was about to look inside...
"Click!"
The lights went out and the room instantly became dark.
Since there was no lighting in the basement, the surroundings were suddenly dark. This sudden change made everyone a little stunned.
"what happened?!"
"power cut?"
"Go out and have a look!"
"Maybe the breaker tripped? Turn on the backup diesel generator quickly!"
"..."
The shouts and shouts sounded outside almost at the same time, making the fat boss's heart skip a beat for no apparent reason.
Although the power supply in this remote and remote area is by no means very good, power outages are commonplace every now and then.
But what if it was such a coincidence that as soon as my front foot arrived, the back foot would black out...
Plus that weird delivery...
Fortunately, the commotion did not last long. After about four or five minutes, the lights came back on amid the roar of the diesel generator.
However, before the fat boss could relax, there was a faint noise outside, and the next moment, several workers stumbled in from the entrance, with panic on their faces.
"Boss, it's bad, the cops...many cops rushed in!"
"What?!"
The fat boss shivered and the cigar in his hand dropped instantly, while the people around him were also frightened and dumbfounded.
"Quick...run quickly!"
I don’t know who took the lead first. The scene suddenly became chaotic. Tables, chairs and benches were knocked down. Someone in a panic knocked over a plate of ancient coins and scattered them all over the floor...
??????55.??????
"Don't run! Where can you run? Hurry! Close the door quickly, they can't get in easily!" The fat boss shouted at the top of his lungs.
The heavy explosion-proof steel door was built to wartime standards. Let alone collision, it might not be able to explode even with C4, which was enough for them to have enough time to deal with it.
However, since everyone was unloading goods at this time, several safety entrances to the air raid shelter were all open to facilitate the transportation of goods.
An explosion-proof steel door that weighs several tons can be closed in just a moment?
On the contrary, as soon as the fat boss finished speaking, a dozen policemen rushed in at the door...
"Don't move, police!"
In an instant, several people were pushed to the ground by the police and put on silver bracelets without saying a word.
After all, these people are just cultural relic smugglers, not really life-threatening drug dealers.
Under the black muzzle of the Type 54 pistol, few people could think of resisting. They were all so frightened that they raised their hands and crouched down.
Even Ah Bao, who seemed to be very capable of fighting, did not hesitate at all, and he knelt so smoothly...
"Stop, do you know who I am? You have no right to arrest me!"
On the contrary, the fat boss was pressed against the wall with his hands cut behind his back, and he was still screaming with lust.
Wang Zhaoping just walked in and frowned when he heard this.
"No matter who you are, just because of the things you have done, you will only have one identity in the future... and that is a prisoner!"
He was too lazy to continue to deal with this guy. Seeing that all the investigators outside were being controlled one by one, Wang Zhaoping put away his pistol and walked straight to his desk.
When I picked up the account book above and glanced at it for a few times, I immediately felt happy.
"Oh, you knew we were coming, and you even sorted out the criminal records for us?"
The fat boss looked extremely ugly.
Wang Zhaoping glanced at the room and saw a half-opened express box on the table. He opened it and saw that it was a sandalwood box.
Opening the sandalwood box, I saw a yellowed ancient book - "Huayan Sutra" placed neatly inside!
The corners of his mouth twitched, "Ha! Are today's cultural relic dealers so wild? Are they starting to blatantly use couriers to smuggle cultural relics?"
But Wang Zhaoping didn't notice that the fat boss also had a baffled expression at this time.
However, no one was in the mood to care about his thoughts. Looking at the various cultural relics in the air-raid shelter, which contained at least hundreds of pieces, everyone looked excited.
Just this noodles, I'm afraid I might have stabbed the lair of a large criminal gang...
He handed the "Huayan Sutra" in his hand to his subordinates and said, "Xiaoru, please ask the local police to send more manpower and experts to take a good inventory of the dirt here!"
"yes!"
…
A cordon was put up at the lumber factory, and from morning until evening, the movement of moving cultural relics in and out never stopped...
"Team Wang, according to preliminary statistics, nearly 2,700 pieces of various precious cultural relics were confiscated on site, and a large amount of cash, gold and silver and other valuables were also found in the safe, involving more than 150 million yuan.
After identification, many of the tomb objects belonged to the Qin and Han Dynasties, and a large number of counterfeit and counterfeit tools were also found at the site.
Obviously, this is a large-scale criminal den that integrates reselling, production and sales of cultural relics, and counterfeiting.
A total of 41 criminal suspects were arrested at the scene. After investigation, it was found that the main suspects Bao, Liu, and Zhou had a large number of chat and transfer records on their mobile phones, and some of the accomplices had confessed to the crime.
According to their account, the criminal gang has been active in the black market in surrounding areas all year round, and the source of cultural relics spans thousands of kilometers from more than 20 places in 8 provinces...
While smuggling and buying and selling a large number of precious cultural relics, they also use counterfeiting techniques to make fakes look like real ones. The value of various counterfeit products flowing into the market every year is as high as tens of millions..."
Even though Wang Zhaoping was somewhat mentally prepared, he was also shocked by the scale of the gang's crimes.
Good guy, I know trying to find the Buddha's head is like "looking for a needle in a haystack".
I never thought you would really dare to do this!
This action of mine... I'm afraid he uprooted the largest cultural relic smuggling gang in the surrounding area, right?
I just want to find a Buddha head, but you want to take advantage of the entire black market!
"Have you found the Buddha head?" Wang Zhaoping looked strange.
"No."
After hearing this answer, for some reason, Wang Zhaoping was not only not disappointed, but actually a little happy.
I thought that if I continue not to find anything, Brother Meng will continue to provide clues...
In this half of the country in the southeast of the motherland, cultural relic dealers are afraid that there will be no grass left to grow...
The main one would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go?
The people in Chaoyang are so terrifying!
"By the way, Captain Wang, the province just called someone to inquire about the situation. It seems that they want to escalate this case." Qin Xiaoru said suddenly.
"Huh?" Wang Zhaoping, who was deep in thought, was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly.
Reminds me of the fat man’s shouting just now…
"Don't rush to reply. Just say that the case is complicated and it is not appropriate to hand it over at this time. We will take the person back to the bureau to make a confession."
"Captain, what are you..."
"Ha! For such a big criminal gang, it's hard to tell how the many bronzes in the car outside were transported here through all the checkpoints.
The other party hid it well, but they couldn’t avoid the X-ray scan at the security checkpoint..."
"You mean..."
"Don't ask too many questions, just do as you are told. If you have any questions, I'll take care of them!
By the way, what is the background of the fat and big-headed criminal gang leader just now?"
Qin Xiaoru immediately took out a piece of information.
"Bao Yumin, male, 48 years old, native of Daliangshan, Sichuan Province, a well-known local mahogany businessman and philanthropist..."
…
"It seems that everything is done..."
Meng Lang couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction when he saw the news from Ling.
While achieving my goal, I can also hand over the "Huayan Sutra" in the Buddha's head without any trace...
I don't have the ability to retrieve the Buddha's head for you, so I can only return the Chinese treasures inside to their original owners.
If in the future there are autobiography insiders who can see this "historical text" from a thousand years ago in a museum and interpret something from it, it may be an interesting story...
As for the content inside, if you are not an insider, I am afraid it can only be studied as a profound Buddhist teaching.
But this was just a matter of convenience. The reason why he gave Wang Zhaoping this clue was actually mainly for one person...
After many days, he picked up the information again.
