Wang Xu touched his chin, feeling for the first time that something only seen in movies was so close to him.
But that's right, the cultural relics at Christie's auction house were previously kept in the vault of Morgan Bank, which is known as the safest place in the world. It is not easy to get hold of them.
Now, the auction house is successfully held, with more than a thousand wealthy people present, and the security forces are facing huge challenges.
If there is a jewelry thief who wants to steal cultural relics, now is the only feasible opportunity. After passing this village, there will be no such store.
"What is the other party's goal?"
"It's the twelve paintings you sent. Someone paid a high price on the black market and was willing to spend $500 million to buy them..."
After hearing Ms. Margarita's answer, Wang Xu had a saying mmp, and he didn't know whether to say it or not.
Where did this little thief come from? He was actually trying to catch his attention. This old man really hanged himself because he thought his life was too long.
After calming down after getting angry, Wang Xu thought about it from another angle and found that this explanation was reasonable.
The most valuable thing in this auction is the twelve paintings he took out. On average, each painting costs about 100 million U.S. dollars. The total of the twelve paintings is conservatively estimated to exceed one billion U.S. dollars.
.
Regardless of whether this group of people are hired by others or want to make a fortune on their own, his paintings are definitely the focus of being targeted.
"Mmp!" Wang Xu first cursed, then remembered that before his painting was handed over to the auction, both parties signed a guarantee agreement.
If any of the twelve paintings are damaged or lost during the auction, Christie's auction house will provide compensation.
Wang Xu thought hard about how much compensation was signed at that time, and it seemed to be 1.2 billion U.S. dollars.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved. Although the painting was his, if it was lost in the hands of Christie's, the loss would also be placed on Christie's. He did not have to bear any risk.
"Ms. Margarita, thank you very much for your answer. I have great confidence in Christie's auction house, and I will leave my painting to you." Knowing that he would not suffer any loss, Wang Xu stood up and spoke without pain in his back.
Margarita thought this was Wang Xu's trust, so she smiled very friendly and said, "Our Christie's auction house has a complete security protection mechanism. We...boom!"
Before he could finish his words, the ground shook, followed by a piercing siren.
Ms. Margarita, who was standing in front of Wang Xu, had a stiff smile on her face and said awkwardly: "Excuse me, I'll go see what's going on."
As Ms. Margarita left, the rich people present were also talking about it.
A moment later, Wang Xu found that the plainclothes people present disappeared into the crowd in twos and threes, as if they had never appeared.
Wang Xu held the wine glass, looked at the little girl who had done something dirty to caviar, and said: "Xinxin, uncle, can you take you to watch the fun?"
"Okay!" Wang Kexin is not afraid of Wang Xu. Instead, she thinks this uncle is very cool. He heard that there is a lot of fun and he can watch it, and he doesn't even eat caviar.
...
The location where Christie's held the auction was a hotel, and the location where the explosion came from was outside, probably on the street outside the hotel.
Along the way, the two walked towards the location where the explosion came from, chatting without a word.
It turns out that Wang Jiale joined Interpol as early as six months ago and was sent to the United States to participate in the repatriation mission, specifically assisting the U.S. police in repatriating illegal immigrants from the mainland.
This time, he joined the ranks of rounding up the jewel thief. It just happened that Wang Jiale took the initiative to join.
As for why he took the initiative to join, the reason is very simple. The Interpol police officer who received the invitation can bring a female companion to act as a cover. Wang Jiale wanted to open his daughter's eyes, which is why the scene he saw in the hall happened.
"Your father is capable enough, so he is not afraid to bring you here. What should you do if you are in danger?" After hearing what happened, Wang Xu used a tactic to alienate Wang Kexin.
Wang Kexin stuck out her tongue, looking very cute, and retorted: "My father said, these people are jewelry thieves, not gangsters wearing masks and holding AKs, standing on the street and exchanging fire with the police. They are top masters,
It comes and goes without a trace, and the possibility of a firefight is very small. Usually when one is noticed, the other party has already taken action and left, otherwise dad would not have brought me here."
What Wang Kexin said is very certain. Obviously, the Interpol headquarters already knew who they were going to fight with.
Wang Xu couldn't help but think maliciously. I'm afraid that in Wang Jiale's heart, he was more dangerous than these people. At least the latter would not hit his daughter's attention.
Looking back now, it seems that before Wang Jiale left in a hurry, the look he looked at contained a warning, as if he said to stay away from my daughter.
"Pfft!" Thinking of this, Wang Xu burst into laughter.
If this daughter-in-law knew that he had brought little Luoli over, I wonder if he would pull out a gun and shoot him to death.
"Sir, you can't go there!" Standing on the blocked street, Wang Xu saw several overturned cars and the police responsible for maintaining order.
He and Wang Kexin stood outside, listening to the comments of passers-by around him.
After listening for a while, I figured out the general process. The convoy escorting the auction items set off from Morgan Bank and rushed to the auction site in a calm manner.
Just when everyone thought that the building holding the auction was just a few hundred meters away and that the jewel thieves would not attack again on the road, five escort vehicles were knocked to the ground by shock bombs.
The next second, five people riding zip lines descended from the sky from the buildings on both sides. In just twenty seconds, they cut open the train transporting the auction items like a can.
From the escort vehicle being overturned, to the jewelry thief taking action, to cutting open the truck to take away the items, the entire process took a total of 86 seconds.
By the time the police officers who were maintaining order rushed up from a few hundred meters away, the jewel thief had already used the zipline to fly away.
"The rope gun, laser cutter, shock bombs, and smoke and tear gas bombs all seemed to have been rehearsed at a pre-rehearsed speed, plus the perfect crime sequence, as if the perpetrator was Kaitou Kidd. They were gone before I could react."
Passers-by who witnessed the process were broadcast live, explaining the process to people on both sides.
After another person heard this, he joined in with a strong voice and added: "You didn't see those people take action. The police a few hundred meters away wanted to rush over. They fired a few tear gas canisters, and the police who rushed over were injured."
No more. And I noticed that there was a woman among them. A security guard in the car was not stunned. He wanted to climb out of the car and shoot. As a result, the woman opened her mouth and vomited, and one of the people who was stabbed was
It shook and fell down, as if it was a blowing needle!"
"Blowing the needle, it sounds so powerful. Is the Amazon female warrior here?"
No matter how well people around describe it, the Interpol police who arrived will not let this group of strange thieves leave.
Under Wang Xu's observation, many Interpol police officers rushed out, and their target was the building not far away.
This building looks inconspicuous, but there are many open windows. According to passers-by, the Phantom Thief flew out from inside, and used the zipline to fly back after committing the crime.
Wang Xu silently calculated that these windows were more than ten meters above the ground and were on the fourth floor of the building.
Judging from the previous actions, this group of monster thieves obviously has a large number of people. Assuming that in addition to the five people who took action, there are people upstairs responsible for responding, then the retreat plan should have been thought of long ago. It is impossible to find anyone if they rush up.
of.
"Kexin, your father may have to return without success. These people are not just small figures!" Wang Xu said with a hint of intoxication as he smelled the fragrance of little Luoli.
The next second, as if he was about to be slapped in the face, an unexpected change occurred.
