Volume 1 - First Entry to the Trade Union Chapter 40 The Ruffian Artist
"Old Wang, although your slogans are impassioned, do you have any clues about this case so far?" Er Shuangshuang asked doubtfully.
"Is this? Haha! Isn't it something that a leader like me can think of?" Wang Mu laughed self-deprecatingly, "Fourteen, this task is your first project when you first come to the company, and it's just a good way to test you.
.”
Although Shi Shishi was extremely disdainful of Wang Mu's shameless behavior. But for the decoration fee of his dormitory, he still calmed down and analyzed: "These fraudsters have another common characteristic. The rewards they ask for are all
It’s cash.”
"They do this to avoid transfers or checks being recorded by the bank," Situ Yuner said.
"But if they do this, they will not be able to transport such a large amount of cash out of Yihai City in a short period of time." Shi Shishi said.
"They can secretly transport it out of the city by waterway or land." Er Shuangshuang said.
"But due to several previous incidents, Yihai City is still under martial law during this period, and they have no way to transfer this wealth. But apart from taking great risks and transporting hundreds of millions of RMB out of the city, it is better to
Money laundering is safe." Shi Shishi said.
"What Brother Shi said makes sense, but there are many ways to launder money. What is the fastest way?" Situ Yuner also began to think in his mind.
"The methods of money laundering are nothing more than investing in entertainment, setting up shell companies, etc. But these methods cannot be successful in a short time." Shi Shishi said.
"Although the use of casinos to launder money is short-lived, it is unlikely in the context of mainland China." Er Shuangshuang said, "And I remember that the Yihai City Public Security Bureau also took down a large-scale underground casino not long ago. Now these people
I won’t take any more risks.”
"Then the best way left is to auction art works." Situ Yuner finally gave her answer.
"No way! They just rely on artworks to commit fraud, and how dare they blatantly rely on them for money laundering?" Er Shuang didn't believe it.
"Don't tell me, this method is the most likely." Shi Shisi strongly supported Yoona's view, "Judging from these cases, this criminal group is particularly good at art-related crimes. So it uses art to launder money.
, you should be familiar with it. And the most dangerous places are often the safest places."
"And I also checked by the way, and there was a major three-day art auction in Yihai City recently." Situ Yuner said, "It seems that this auction is the best opportunity for them to sell stolen goods and launder money."
"How long until the auction?" Wang Mu asked.
"There are still three days." Yoona replied.
"The preparation time is sufficient, but how do we find out the criminal behind the scenes?" Wang Mu pondered.
"I think the best way is to pretend to be a buyer and sneak into the auction, so that you can have a chance to find out the mastermind behind the scenes." Szeto Yoona suggested.
"This is indeed a good idea, so who among the four of us is more suitable?" Wang Mu asked deliberately.
"I'll forget it!" Situ Yuner was the first to shake his head, "Minors can't go to that kind of place, and my best position is to sit at the base camp and provide you with off-site support at any time."
"Shuangshuang is definitely going. This kind of mission should be no problem for the number one killer of the Tang Dynasty." Wang Mu said.
Er Shuangshuang nodded, she turned to Shi Shishi and said: "Shi Shi, this time you and I will go on the mission together!"
"Why?" Wang Mu and Shi Shishi said in unison.
"Old Wang, you should also consider your level a little bit." Situ Yuner said angrily, "You can't even distinguish the porcelain bowls on the street stalls. Why don't you go to the auction and be recognized immediately?"
"This?" Wang Mu could only helplessly shake his head.
"As for the stones! You must have been an artist in your previous life. If you participate in an art auction, your basic knowledge should come in handy," Er Shuangshuang said.
"Okay then!" Shi Shisi thought for a while and realized that the only way to solve this incident was to take action personally.
"But in what name are we going?" Shi Shishi asked.
"It's easy!" Yoona quickly typed out a piece of information and handed it to Shi Shisi, "These are the basic information you need to play the role. You will have to memorize it in the next two days. Then you can sneak into the auction.
When the time comes, be sure not to expose any flaws."
Shi Shishi picked up a piece of paper and muttered slowly: "Brother Shi Shi, Italian-Chinese, a famous art connoisseur, with some gang background... What and what is this!"
"What's wrong?"
"Do you think I can control this kind of persona?"
"I remember that your information showed that you had received one year of scout training in the army. I believe you should be qualified." Yoona said calmly, "Don't worry! Sisters Shuangshuang will be with you, there will be no danger.
of."
"Actually, I don't care about the danger. I'm just worried about alerting others." Shi Shishi replied.
"Fourteen! Just go ahead and do it with confidence! I will apply for the Federation of Trade Unions to send people to support you," Wang Mu said.
"There is still support! Who is it?" Shi Shishi asked.
"The secret must not be leaked. You will know it when the time comes!" Wang Mu smiled mysteriously, "Yooner, Shuangshuang, in the next two days, you must give Fourteen special training!"
"Okay, no problem!" Situ Yuner and Er both said in unison, and then looked at Shi Shishi with strange eyes.
Shi Shishi felt uncomfortable looking at him, and thought to himself: "I won't be fooled by these guys again!"
In the next two days, Situ Yuner and Er both began to train Shi Shishi together.
"As a gangster brother, you have to move like a dragon and move like a tiger, do you understand?" You held the pointer in both hands and said seriously.
"Is that so?" Shi Shishi tried his best to assume a majestic posture.
"You are too domineering! You think you are going to lead troops to fight! Give me more of a ruffian attitude!" Situ Yuner scolded from the side, "Do it again!"
Practicing walking is just a microcosm, and the subsequent training from dressing to table manners is even more overwhelming for Shi Shishi. "This is more tiring than walking in goose during military training in the army!"
"Don't complain, otherwise you won't be able to deceive those people."
Shi Shishi lamented in his heart: "It's so hard to earn decoration expenses!"
During this time, the Yihai Municipal Public Security Bureau where Lin Qiao worked was also extremely busy. In the office, the criminal police captain Liu Sheng frowned deeply. The ashtray in front of him was already full of cigarette butts. Liu Sheng had not slept a wink for two nights.
Well, with such a huge series of fraud cases, one can imagine the pressure placed on him by his superiors.
Looking at the files on his desk, Liu Sheng fell into deep thought.
"Captain, there is a breakthrough in the case!" Lin Qiao pushed open the door and entered. Her voice immediately made Liu Sheng energetic again.
"Xiao Lin, what's new?" Liu Sheng asked.
"Just now, the investigators in our team finally discovered a criminal suspect based on the portrait provided by Shi Shishi." Lin Qiao said slowly.
"Where? Has the arrest been carried out?"
"Being near the auction house in Yihai City would have alerted the enemy, so we did not arrest him immediately," Lin Qiao explained.
Liu Sheng nodded and said: "You are right, that person should be just a pawn of this fraud group. The real big fish has not yet surfaced!"
"Team Liu, I think the Yihai Auction House is very suspicious. I suspect that the fraud group may be based here."
"Xiao Lin, your inference is not unreasonable. But Yihai Auction House is a very sensitive place. If you want to deal with it directly, you must be very cautious."
"Why?"
“You also know that this auction house is an important economic point and cultural display window for our Yihai City.” Liu Sheng explained, “In the entire province, only our auction house in Yihai City has international auction qualifications. It’s the only one in the province. If it’s not handled well, not only will the case not be solved, it will even affect the overall image of our Yihai City, and we can’t afford it then!”
"But I suspect that the international auction that will be held tomorrow may be the criminal group's way of laundering money. And my sixth sense tells me that they have more than just this purpose." Lin Qiao said with a solemn expression.
"Xiao Lin, I know this too. But we don't have conclusive evidence and can't take action." Liu Sheng stood up and paced back and forth in the office. Suddenly he stopped and lowered his voice and said: "Xiao Lin, what's your name? Send a few investigators and ambush at several surveillance points around the auction house tomorrow."
"Yes! Captain Liu!" Lin Qiao's eyes sparkled with excitement, and she turned around to walk out of the office.
"Xiao Lin, wait a minute."
"What's wrong, Captain Liu?"
"Remember, don't alert the snake. I know this auction will last for several days, you just need to make sure not to let the suspicious people leave the surveillance area." Liu Sheng thought for a moment and said, "I will try my best to convince the director and the municipal party committee leaders. These criminals must not be allowed to escape justice."
Finally, on the day when the auction started, Shi Shishi appeared in the hall of "Old World" wearing a vest, a short-sleeved shirt, and a pair of leather slippers.
"Do you think it's appropriate for me to go to that large auction house dressed like this?" Shi Shisi looked at his second-rate look in the mirror, which was really a bit unharmonious.
"Brother Shi, I shouldn't call you Brother Fourteen." Situ Yuner explained, "Your current persona is from a gangster background, an Italian ruffian and an art connoisseur. This look is perfect."
"Then why does it look so good when both are worn?" Shi Shishi said angrily.
Er Shuangshuang is wearing a dark green low-cut evening dress, which outlines her exquisite figure perfectly. I believe that when she enters the auction, she will definitely win a lot of casts.
"I can't help it. As the secretary of a rich man like you, Sister Shuangshuang, of course she has to have some aristocratic qualities. Is she dressed as Harley Quinn like you?"
