Chapter 536 Jianghu is Jianghu
The crowd gradually dispersed, Meng Lang and Xiaoyu also left the scene, but Director Zhang turned around and accidentally glanced at the backs of the two of them.
That seems to be...that annoying young man?
Why do I have the bad luck to meet this guy every time...
By the way, what did that guy say when we met last time?
They say that my dog won't last long... I'm afraid I have to send it back again?
He frowned slightly.
I almost got it right by the crow’s mouth? Could it be that that guy received the news in advance?
Looking at the way he was dressed, he was not a well-informed upper-class person. What’s more, at that time, the fish talk had not yet fermented, and the national dog restriction had not even affected the hair.
He can't predict the future, can he?
It should be... just a coincidence...
...
Modu, a certain public security bureau.
“Bah!”
“Asshole!”
Wang Zhaoping couldn't help but cursed as he hung up the phone.
“What’s wrong, Captain Wang?” Qin Xiaoru asked upon seeing this.
"The higher ups asked us to close the team and cancel the monitoring of Iwasaki Hideyoshi!"
"Huh? Why?"
"Didn't say, just let us execute the order... ..." Wang Zhaoping looked helpless.
Facts have proved that the Iwasaki family can even bring back those involved in the case such as Yuhei Iwasaki, and it is not a problem to lift surveillance.
A major case is about politics. The Mitsubishi consortium behind the Iwasaki family is definitely worthy of this level...
More than a month has passed since the Buddha's head was lost, and there is no news so far. Naturally, the police are not interested. Maybe nothing will happen.
Wang Zhaoping has been staying in Magic City during this time, assisting the local police in investigating the whereabouts of the Buddha's head.
Unfortunately, apart from monitoring the Iwasaki family, the biggest suspect, the police have no clue at all.
The surveillance video obtained by the museum was studied repeatedly for more than a month, but they were unable to find any flaws. Based on the analysis of the scene, it was not a deception at all.
This incredible case even alarmed criminal investigation experts in the capital.
Finally, they came to a conclusion that gave people a chill down their backs.
That is the mysterious force that stole the Buddha's head, and it has at least one top hacker.
And the other party may also have the technology to tamper with the video to make it look real...
This conclusion has even greater impact than the loss of the Buddha's head.
Cultural relics are dead objects after all, and a technology that can profoundly affect the future naturally attracts more attention.
If someone really masters this terrible technology, the "Sky Eye System" gradually formed by various countries around the world through surveillance will be equivalent to a huge loophole.
Just imagine, even the video surveillance you see with your own eyes can be faked. How many more unjust, false and wrongful cases will there be in the world?
Not to mention, if someone can steal a Buddha head easily, then other cultural relics in the museum can’t be obtained on demand?
The collapse of social trust, the missing evidence chain, and the rising crime rate are completely foreseeable disasters.
For veteran detectives like Wang Zhaoping, he has another reason to uncover the "ghost thief"...
However, it is still far away to find clues from surveillance. The only clue is The Iwasaki family was about to disappear from the surveillance field of view...
This gave him a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
"Team Wang, now that Iwasaki Yuhei has returned to China, even if the things are really in the hands of the Iwasaki family, it has been so long that it will be extremely difficult to get them back.
Besides, if it is really a conspiracy, the possibility of the things being in the Iwasaki family is extremely low..."
Wang Zhaoping sighed helplessly.
How could he possibly do such a thing? I don’t know.
The longer it takes. , whether it was resold or hidden, the possibility of the police recovering the thing became slimmer.
However, he had been working hard for more than half a year to find this Buddha head, and he watched it being cooked. The duck can still fly.
Naturally, he was unwilling to do so.
"Is there any news about the Buddha head in the underground trading market?" He and Iwasaki Hideyoshi thought together.
“Well...it’s true. Not long ago, a mysterious collector offered a high price of US$100 million on the dark web, offering a reward for the missing Buddha head and any related clues.
Because the amount was so sensational, a hacker friend of mine told it to me as gossip."
"Oh?" Wang Zhaoping was a little surprised.
"Team Wang, do you think this could be the work of the Iwasaki family?"
"Well...it's really possible!" Wang Zhaoping touched his chin.
100 million US dollars is not a small amount, and most cultural relics will not reach this price even if they are auctioned.
Regardless of spending money... The only ones who have the motive and the strength to issue such a huge reward are the Iwasaki family who are like dog-skin plaster on the Buddha's head...
From this point of view , the good news is that the Iwasaki family seems to have no goods, the bad news is that all the forces are confused about who has the goods...
"Captain Wang, how about asking your well-informed gold medal informant?" Qin Xiaoru leaned over and reminded in a low voice.
Wang Zhaoping glared at her.
"You think you are really a god. How can you find the Buddha's head and the needle in the haystack even if his eyes are completely black?"
"Then he can even find the snake's capital from the stone elephant. Isn't it impossible to find a needle in a haystack..."
"Oh, your work is already done by others, why would the state support us, or else you should also give your monthly salary and bonus to others? ?”
"Don't! I'm wrong, why not!"
Qin Xiaoru stuck out her tongue and ran away with a pile of documents.
"Really, I try to take shortcuts every day..."
Wang Zhaoping was angry, but he honestly leaned out of the office and quickly glanced around to confirm. When no one is outside, close the door and lock it, all in one go...
No way, once there are shortcuts in life, who would think about taking the long way around?
I don’t know if I asked someone to help me find out the news before, but if there has been any progress after so long...
[Du~Du~]
[Hello~]
Following the phone call The other end was connected, and Wang Zhaoping greeted him warmly.
“Haha! Brother Meng, how are you doing lately?”
[Well... the people are okay, but the living environment is a bit harsh...]
"Uh..."
The living environment? What's the meaning?
Dasu City is one of the top ten livable cities. I have never heard of any serious environmental pollution problems?
Before Wang Zhaoping could react to this unreasonable answer, the other person spoke again.
[You are looking for me because you want to ask about the Buddha's head, right? 】
Wang Zhaoping suddenly coughed dryly.
“Brother Meng is well-informed, and he has heard that our progress is not going well.
But that is our national treasure, and I am really unwilling to lose him like this... ”
[Team Wang’s dedication to his duties is truly admirable. 】
Wang Zhaoping smiled bitterly, "Brother, please don't give me a high hat. To be honest, the clues from the Iwasaki family have been broken, and I am helpless now.
If it is just an ordinary cultural relic that was lost, then Things aren't too bad.< br>
But the Iwasaki family tried to snatch it away again and again, trying to get it at all costs. I always felt that the other party’s purpose was not just to covet my Chinese treasure.”
【hehe! You are really wrong, these guys are really just coveting our Chinese treasures...]
It's just that this "treasure" is not that "treasure"...
Wang Zhaoping did not hear the implication of Meng Lang's words, but these words made his eyes light up.
"Oh? Why is Brother Meng so sure? Could it be that you found some information over there?"
The other end of the phone seemed to think about it for a moment.
[But I heard some gossip. It is said that the current head of the Iwasaki family, Iwasaki Hanzo, is obsessed with Chinese culture. These several actions against the Buddha's head were secretly inspired by him.
As for the reason...it seems that this Buddha head from the Tang Dynasty is closely related to the great monk Si Tuo.
oh! Master Situo is a disciple of Jianzhen, and it is said that he is the ancestor of their Iwasaki family...]
"Uh...this..."
Wang Zhaoping's initial excitement has changed. Became stunned.
He thought that Meng Lang would investigate and find clues, but he didn't expect that these clues... would even lead to the family tree? !
Asked with a strange expression.
"Brother Meng, didn't you say last time that you can still inquire about domestic gossip, but foreign news is beyond your reach?"
[Hmm... So, didn't I just realize my limitations? sex, so prepare to expand overseas markets and increase your global perspective! 】
Wang Zhaoping’s mouth twitched.
Should we be said to be worthy of the "Rising Sun Masses"?
If you find a deficiency one second, you will immediately make up for it the next second?
The execution of this self-renovation alone is beyond the reach of any intelligence organization in any country!
"Iwasaki Hanzo..."
Wang Zhaoping wrote this key figure in his little notebook.
But just knowing who is behind the scenes seems to be of no help to the current situation...
"Brother Meng, apart from this, is there any other news?"
< br>
[Yes, according to my gossip, the Iwasaki Yuhei who returned to China is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Now is the critical moment when he and Iwasaki Hideyoshi compete for the position of the head of the family.
I personally suggest that you stay away from that Iwasaki Hideyoshi, so as not to bite you and splash blood all over you. 】
“Uh...”
Hey, hey! Is this the inside secret of a chaebol family?
You call this gossip?
Rumors coming from people's bedrooms?
Wang Zhaoping was complaining wildly in his heart, but Wang Zhaoping could only regard it as Meng Lang's own random guess.
"Um... I mean, is there any gossip about where the Buddha's head is?" He asked cautiously.
[This...]
How can Meng Lang answer?
It is said that the Buddha's head has been smashed to pieces with a hammer long ago, and now even the ashes have been blown away by Ning Shisan, right?
【Cough! In fact, the coming and going of all things in the world has its own rules. Things that are deliberately searched for are often not found.
It is often hidden in an inadvertent gaze, a look back, an accidental feeling at a certain moment yesterday...]
"Stop! Stop!" Wang Zhaoping said He interrupted Meng Lang with a strange expression.
I'm here to ask for information, so why are you writing prose?
"Brother Meng, my level of cultural appreciation is not high. Just put it simply, can the Buddha head be recovered?"
[Alas~]
With a long and leisurely sigh, Wang Zhaoping was already Got the answer.
Just when I was about to be disappointed, the conversation on the other end of the phone suddenly changed.
[Although I can't help with the Buddha's head, I accidentally discovered another clue here, which is somewhat related to the case. I wonder if you want it, Captain Wang? 】
"What?" Wang Zhaoping was stunned.
Another clue?
This familiar smell... So you accidentally hit the passenger car again?
“I’d like to hear the details!” He quickly pricked up his ears.
After all, if you lose your watermelon, it would be nice to get some sesame seeds back...
[...]
However, after listening to Meng Lang's description of "Sesame" on the other end of the phone, Wang Zhaoping slowly widened his eyes.
He said with a look of astonishment.
"Brother Meng, what you said...is all true?"
[Of course not! 】
"Uh..." Wang Zhaoping was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that it was always "gossip" and never guaranteed the veracity of what he said.
"Oh! I understand, I understand!" Wang Zhaoping nodded repeatedly with excitement on his face.
Although he never kept the truth, how could he, a regular customer, not know about it as long as it was the information provided by Meng Lang.
Only mistakes, never misses!
At worst, if I accidentally hit the passenger car a few times, that would be really fun to see!
"Brother Meng, don't say anything. I don't know how to thank you for helping me so generously every time..."
[Haha! We are all old friends, so being so polite is a no-brainer.
However, I happen to have something here, and I want Captain Wang to help me...]
"Oh?" Wang Zhaoping suddenly became energetic.
“What’s the matter, Brother Meng, just say it, I will fight for you even if it’s a mountain of swords and a sea of fire!”
【hehe! It's too serious to say too much, but it's actually not a big deal. Didn't I just say that the living environment around me... is a bit harsh...]
Wang Zhaoping's face suddenly became serious. If this involves industrial pollution, Such environmental issues are generally not small cases...
If the level involved is higher, even if he is the captain of the criminal investigation brigade, sometimes he has to ask for instructions before doing anything.
But after Meng Lang gave a general description, Wang Zhaoping suddenly looked dumbfounded.
“That’s it?”
...
In the afternoon of that day, before the sun had completely set, the community of Yipinju, which had just regained some tranquility, was once again abuzz with excitement...
"No! No! You guys!" You can’t do this, second treasure!”
“Woof!”
“Let me go, give me my second treasure!”
"Woof woof!"
"Erbao~"
"Woof woof!"
Amidst the slightly sad screams, Mrs. Zhang held her dog tightly. After all, her hand slipped away from the dog's paw little by little under the tug of many law enforcers...
The moment her fingertips separated from the dog's paw, the woman had tears in her eyes and her heart was about to break...
"No! Erbao~~~"
Asking what love is in the world...
The scene of one person and one dog being forcibly separated is inexplicably reminiscent of Xu Xian and White Snake Lei Feng The classic scene of life and death under the tower.
It is really sad for those who hear it, but for those who see it...
"Kacha~" "Kacha Kacha~"
Meng Lang and Xiao Yu were lying on the balcony on the 11th floor, eating watermelon and watching the farce downstairs.
The center of the community is empty, and Mrs. Zhang’s voice is loud. The echo wall effect is like a 360° surround sound live broadcast to the residents of the community...
"Pfft~Uncle, this is what you said Are you talking about Jianghu?" Xiaoyu spat out a few watermelon seeds with a look of admiration.
Meng Lang just took a bite of the watermelon with a sad look on his face.
"Ah, Jianghu, it's not about fighting and killing, it's all about human relations... Kacha~" (End of this chapter)
