Chapter 229 A step too late
“Huhuhu~”
The helicopter roared away and soon disappeared into the night.
Until the helicopter’s navigation lights were no longer visible, many tourists on the cruise ship were still waving their arms to thank them for relieving an explosion crisis on the cruise ship.
This so-called special service force, which came and went in a hurry, without any markings on its body, although its appearance time was very short, it left a very deep impression on people.
However, from beginning to end, they did not leave any information related to the unit number...
At this time, police cars flashed red and blue lights around the cruise ship ramp, and a large number of police officers were on site to maintain order. .
The bearded captain, whose hands were handcuffed, no longer looked as arrogant as before.
With a livid face, he looked at the precious cultural relics that were transported one by one by the police from the cruise ship and placed in a large exhibition area on the pier.
A rough count shows that the number of these cultural relics is at least seventy or eighty.
Painted female figurines from the Han Dynasty, official kiln porcelain from the Song Dynasty, famous calligraphy paintings from the Ming Dynasty...
There are a dazzling array of cultural relics, and each one is a treasure.
Several police officers are taking photos of these cultural relics to collect evidence.
Wang Zhaoping looked at the cultural relics that were found one by one with excitement on his face.
This harvest far exceeded his expectations!
Including the seven or eight cultural relics seized from the two mourning dogs, this is a huge cultural relic smuggling case!
Judging from the current situation, this is probably a transnational cultural relics smuggling and trading group that integrates smuggling, trading, and money laundering, and is extremely involved!
If we dig deeper and pull out the carrots and bring out the mud, we may be able to gain more...
As expected, the information given by Brother Meng has never disappointed anyone. Pass!
This is not an egg, it is simply a dinosaur egg!
While he was excited, he was also a little scared.
If Brother Meng’s intelligence had not been updated in time, he and several of his colleagues would have boarded the ship recklessly without guns. Judging from the frenzy of this gang of criminals who dared to detonate bombs, they would have wanted to escape intact. It's really hanging.
Not to mention that once the bomb explodes, it will really destroy both people and money, and cause a lot of trouble.
Despite the fact that only one shot was fired during the entire operation, it seemed to be relaxed and calm.
But those were three military armed helicopters hovering in the sky!
Plus 30 fully armed special forces rappelling for a surprise attack!
The hidden gunmen in Brother Meng's intelligence were probably frightened when they saw this posture.
It’s too late to shrink back, how could you still rush up desperately?
Just because they have small pistols that can’t even penetrate other people’s body armor?
But if it were Wang Zhaoping and several ordinary criminal policemen, the deterrent effect would be completely different.
They won't care about your status as a Chinese policeman when they are fighting to the death.
“Wang Captain, look!”
At this time, Qin Xiaoru beside her suddenly pointed at another cultural relic being carried down the gangway and reminded.
Wang Zhaoping turned around and saw a square transparent glass cover.
In the glass cover, a white jade Buddha head with a yellow and white color and an ancient meaning is quietly fixed in it.
The Buddha's head is carefully carved, with slightly closed eyes, and its shape is very different from ordinary Buddha statues.
However, if you look closely, the appearance and expression are slightly different from ordinary Buddha heads.
At least an ordinary Buddha head wouldn’t be so...handsome?
Yes! hansome!
Wang Zhaoping thought for a long time before he found the right word.
Ordinary Buddha statues are perfect, plump and broad-headed, but he actually thinks this Buddha statue is quite handsome?
At first sight, this Buddha head gives people a sense of peace and tranquility, but after looking at it for a long time, I vaguely feel that the smile raised at the corner of the Buddha head's mouth is a bit inconsistent.
With that handsome face, does it look a bit evil?
But he is not an expert, and the design style of this Buddha statue is not Wang Zhaoping's focus.
“Is this the Buddha head we are looking for?!” He looked surprised.
No one can answer this question, after all, it still needs expert identification.
But Wang Zhaoping somehow felt that this must be what they had been looking for.
After all, it was Brother Meng who gave me the information...
At this moment.
“Old Wang!”
Wang Zhaoping looked back and saw his director hurriedly coming with a few people, including several foreigners in black suits.
"Bureau Lu!"
Bureau Lu nodded, looking at the large number of cultural relics on the scene, as well as the bearded man and the second officer in handcuffs, and then looked up at the cruise ship A group of foreign tourists gathered curiously.
I don’t know whether I should be happy or have a headache.
"Ahem! Old Wang, this is Mr. Brown, the British Minister." Director Lu coughed and pointed at a foreigner who was accompanying him.
At the same time, he also gave Wang Zhaoping a subtle wink.
Then he turned to Brown.
"Mr. Minister, this is Captain Wang Zhaoping of our Suzhou Criminal Police Team and the person in charge of this operation."
Wang Zhaoping looked at the bald little old man in front of him and probably could He knew the purpose of the other party's visit, but he didn't have much worry in his heart.
"Mr. Brown! Please help me! These barbaric Chinese people not only forcibly landed on our ships without applying in advance, but also shot and arrested people indiscriminately, causing a huge disaster on the cruise ship. Riot!
The point is, why are you saying that I am a smuggler!
This is really a mouthful!
I am the noble Baron of Great Britain, how could I possibly do such despicable acts as men stealing and women prostituted!
This is slander, this is slander!
I want to accuse this barbaric frame-up and aggression to the embassy and the international media! ”
Seeing Brown, Steve felt like he saw his life-saving straw, and immediately shouted for help in jabbering English.
He knew that his only way out at this time was with the embassy.
Brown glanced at him and frowned.
He looked at Wang Zhaoping and spoke in a somewhat stiff Chinese.
“Captain Wang, your armed men forcibly landed on a cruise ship flying our flag, fired shots on board, and arrested my distinguished Baron of Great Britain without reason.
On behalf of the Embassy of Great Britain, I would like to express my strong dissatisfaction with this. This is a serious diplomatic incident!
You must immediately release our personnel, apologize, and give us a satisfactory explanation, otherwise we will never give up! ”
Brown doesn’t care about the rights and reasons. Protecting the property and interests of its citizens is one of the embassy’s main responsibilities.
First of all, let’s put a big hat on, China’s As long as officials don't want to be labeled as damaging their international image, they have to be cautious about this matter!
What's more, he and Steve already know each other, and of course they know each other's connections and wealth.
If he can make good friends with the other party through this matter, then his retirement life for the rest of his life will be guaranteed...
"Explain? Ha!" Wang Zhaoping said with a cold face and was not polite at all.
“Didn’t Mr. Brown see these illegally smuggled cultural relics in front of you? I think it is you who should give us an explanation.
Why are there on your country’s cruise ships? So many smuggled cultural relics?
Why is the baron of your country involved in such a despicable business? ”
Then he pointed to the tourists on the cruise ship.
“In addition, what I need to inform Mr. Brown is that a terrifying high-explosive bomb was actually installed on your cruise ship!
If we hadn’t received the information in advance , out of the friendly relations between the two countries and their own legitimate rights and interests, they decisively dispatched anti-K troops, Control the relevant personnel and eliminate the risk of bombs.
The lives of tourists on the cruise ship will be threatened now!
I have reason to suspect that the so-called noble Baron you mentioned is still a planner. Dangerous elements in cruise ship KB attack!
According to Chinese law, we have the right to arrest him and bring him to justice! "
Isn't that just a big slap!
No one can say the same thing!
"What? KB molecules? No! This is impossible! ”
Brown was stunned when he heard this.
The news I received was not so detailed, and I didn't expect so many things to happen.
But looking at the ironclad evidence placed in front of him, Brown suddenly had a headache.
But of course you can’t be soft-spoken.
“Even if these items were found on the ship, they may be the private property of foreign citizens. What evidence do you have to prove that these are smuggled items?
In addition, even if these are really smuggled items , how do you prove that Captain Steve is related to this matter?
bomb? Why can't I see any signs of damage to the cruise ship? Could this be a myth? "
Of course he didn't believe that a baron and a cruise ship captain would install bombs on his own cruise ship to launch a KB attack.
" Haha! Mr. Brown, please believe in the professionalism of our Chinese police.
Since we are arresting people, there is certainly evidence!
Also about bombs...haha! I think the thousands of tourists on the cruise ship can all be witnesses! ”
"What?!"
Brown was stunned.
Seeing that the other party was so confident, as if he really had Steve's criminal evidence, Brown was a little embarrassed.
Whether we can fish the person out is another question.
It would be better if it does not turn into an international scandal for Britain...
When Director Lu saw Brown frowning and saying nothing, he secretly gave Wang Zhaoping a thumbs up.
The case naturally had to be handled, and he agreed. Otherwise, as Wang Zhaoping, how could he really bypass the city leaders and mobilize special forces.
But when it comes to such a sensitive situation in international relations, it naturally cannot be based on facts.
“Ahem! Mr. Brown, you see, we are also acting in accordance with Chinese laws. We must take back Captain Steve and the relevant personnel involved to assist in the investigation.
As soon as there is a result , we will definitely notify your embassy as soon as possible.”
Although his tone was polite, his words were already a bit strong.
After all, justice is on your side!
Although Brown is a minister, he cannot interfere with the legitimate law enforcement of the Chinese police. This is not the Qing Dynasty after all...
"Okay, but we require lawyers to accompany the entire investigation process to protect our country. Citizens’ legal rights!”
“Of course, this is your right”
Brown looked at Steve and chatted with him for a while, roughly explaining the current situation.
Although Steve's face was extremely ugly, even though he was a smuggler, he was actually labeled as a bigger one.
But what the other party has mastered is very detrimental to him. It seems... he can only cut off his tail to survive...
Until the police car took away all the suspects, Director Lu headed towards Wang Zhaoping gave a thumbs up.
“Lao Wang, this is... well done!”
"Haha! This is all due to Bureau Lu's wise leadership and decisive decision-making!" Wang Zhaoping immediately flattered him.
"Okay, don't wear a high hat. The follow-up evidence collection work is the top priority, so don't make any mistakes!"
"Don't worry, Director Lu!" Wang Zhaoping assured, patting his chest.
How can the information provided by Brother Meng be false?
……
On the cruise ship at this time, two Asian faces in black suits were standing on the side. One of them was holding a binoculars and looking down at the cordoned area surrounded by police.
When he saw the Buddha head in the cultural relics pile through the high-powered telescope, the man in black put down the telescope.
“We found the target, we were a step too late!”
“Damn it! The auction is about to start. It was just a task that needed to be completed with some money, but I didn’t expect that this would happen. What a mistake!”
“There is no way, I definitely can’t get the things back now.
But now that we know where the stuff is, we can still find a way to get it!
Report the matter to the boss! ”
“This has come to this, and that’s all it can do. "(End of this chapter)
