Chapter 543 Philanthropist
Here Meng Lang 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...
“Here is Archie, are all the teams in place? Please reply, Zizi~”
[The Huihui team is in place! Zi~】
[The Maomao team is in place! Zi~】
【The Tiantian team is in place! Zi~】
【……】
“Very good, all units should pay attention to the main entrances and exits. After the operation begins, they are only allowed to enter but not to exit. Be sure not to let any suspect inside escape. !”
After speaking to the intercom, Wang Zhaoping turned to look at Qin Xiaoru with some confusion.
"By the way, I just felt something was wrong. Who gave the code names for each group's operations this time? Why do they sound so 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 child? Besides, during this period, the cases are one after another, and I have only been here for ten years." It’s only been half a month, how can I take care of my family?
Well... But after this operation is over, it’s time to take a good vacation...”
Thinking of my own family. Son, Wang Zhaoping couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
But after a moment, 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 inhospitable factory. Is it possible that the Buddha head we are looking for is hidden in there?"
"I don't know."
"Don't know?" Qin Xiaoru was stunned for a moment. “I don’t know, so why are we here?”
“When we police handle cases, sometimes it’s like opening a blind box. Who knows the truth 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...
The one at the beginning was a big black G, followed by A semi-trailer loaded with thick logs.
After carefully observing the leading vehicle, well... it is worth a lot of money at first glance. It seems that it is 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, was cheering from behind. walked down.
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 look out for the surroundings, Ah Bao, unload the things in the car,"
"Yes, boss!"
A bodyguard with a strong back and a sinewy face, just saying "I am Heisehui" on his forehead greeted him, and immediately there were several young men who looked like workers in blue shirts. Climb onto the semi-trailer, lift up the tarp, untie the rope and start unloading.
"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, 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 The second log, the third log...
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 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 basement in order. The scene showed a satisfied smile.
Speaking of the underground space here, it is an abandoned air-raid shelter left over from the time when "dig holes deeply and store grain widely".
No one would have thought that he would transform it into a secret production base...
"Let's go to the warehouse!"
As the boss behind the scenes, he rarely shows up here, and things have long been taken care of by his subordinates.
But every once in a while, he will 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 book that had been prepared on the table, a younger brother ran over with a express box.
"Boss, I have an express delivery for you."
"Express delivery?" The fat face was stunned for a moment, and then he frowned.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could my express delivery be sent here?"
The boy scratched his head blankly, "I don't know, boss, your name is indeed on the express delivery..."
< br>The fat boss felt vaguely in his heart Something seemed wrong, "A Bao, open it and take a look! Be careful."
"Yes, boss!"
However, A Bao just cut open the tape of the express box with a cautious look on his face. When looking 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’s going on?!”
“There’s a power outage?”
"Go out and have a look!"
"Maybe the switch has tripped? Hurry up and turn on the backup diesel generator!"
"..."
There was a sound outside almost at the same time The shouts made the fat boss's heart skip a beat for no apparent reason.
Although in this remote and remote area, the power supply is definitely not very good, and power outages are commonplace every now and then.
But what if it was such a coincidence that as soon as my front foot arrived, there was a blackout on the back foot...
Plus that weird courier...
Fortunately, the commotion did not last long, about four or five minutes later , 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 trembled, and the cigar in his hand fell instantly, and the people around him were also frightened and dumbfounded.
“Quick...run!”
I don’t know who took the lead first. The scene suddenly became chaotic. Tables, chairs and benches were knocked down. Someone panicked and knocked down Pangu. Coins were scattered all over the floor...
"Don't run! Where can you run? Quick! 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 to give them plenty of 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, policeman!"
In an instant, several people were pushed to the ground by the police and put on silver bracelets without saying a word.
In the final analysis, 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 squatted 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!"
I am too lazy to continue to talk to you. This guy, seeing that all the investigators outside were being controlled one by one, Wang Zhaoping put away his pistol and walked straight to the 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 corner of his mouth twitched, "Ha! Are cultural relic dealers so wild nowadays? Are they starting to blatantly use express delivery to smuggle cultural relics?"
But Wang Zhaoping didn't notice that the fat boss also had a baffled expression at this time.
But 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 row of noodles, I’m afraid I’ve stabbed the lair of a large criminal gang...
Handed the Huayan Sutra in his hand to his subordinates, “Xiaoru, please ask the local police to add more Send people and experts to take a good look at the dirt here!”
“Yes!”
...
The timber factory was cordoned off, and from morning until dusk, the movement of moving cultural relics in and out never stopped...
"Team Wang, according to preliminary statistics, Nearly 2,700 precious cultural relics of various types were confiscated on site, and a large amount of cash, gold and silver and other valuables were also found in the safe. The funds involved exceeded 150 million yuan.
After identification, many of them belonged to the tomb objects of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and a large number of counterfeit and counterfeit tools were also found at the site.
Obviously, this was. A large-scale criminal den that integrates reselling, production, sales, and counterfeiting of cultural relics.
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. 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 fake ones to disguise the real ones. Counterfeiting technology, various types of counterfeiting technologies enter the market every year The value of counterfeit goods is as high as tens of millions..."
Even though Wang Zhaoping was somewhat mentally prepared, he was also shocked by the scale of this 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!
With this action... I am afraid that I have 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.
He said to me that if I continue to fail to find it, Brother Meng will continue to provide clues...
In this half of the country in the southeast of the motherland, the cultural relic dealers are afraid that there will be no grass left...
< br>Would you 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.
Reminiscent 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 over the case at this time. 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 say how the many bronzes in the car outside were transported here through all the checkpoints.
The other party hid it. It's good, but you can't avoid the X-ray scan at the security checkpoint... ..."
"You mean..."
"Don't ask any more questions, just do it. If you have any questions, I'll take care of it!
By the way, that fat guy just now. What is the background of the big-headed criminal gang leader? ”
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 It's all done..."
When Meng Lang saw the news from Ling, he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
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 find the Buddha's head for you, so I can only The Chinese treasures inside were returned to their original owners.
If someone with an autobiography in the future 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.
[Han Li: Female, 29 years old, senior lawyer at Zhongtian Law Firm.
Birthplace: Zhaojue County, Daliang Mountain District, Sichuan Province.
Life resume:
Born in 1990 in the well-known impoverished village "Mayi Village".
In 2004, he began to receive financial support from local wealthy businessman Bao Yumin to complete high school and college.
There were two abortion records in 2010, and the signatories accompanying them were both Bao Yumin...]
Sighed slightly.
There is no gift from fate in this world.
The so-called gift given by fate has already been marked with a secret price... (End of this chapter)
