Chapter 0344 The Case (II)
“Mr. Zhuang, it’s like this. According to the intelligence we have, this batch of cultural relics is very likely to flow into the black market of cultural relics in Beijing, and in the near future will be auctioned, we want to ask Mr. Zhuang to participate in this black market auction, does not need you to do anything, as long as you help us to identify the cultural relics auctioned in the black market inside, there is no Henan’s batch of cultural relics can be.”
Wu director in Zhuang Rui and have the intention of prevarication, hasten to make the words clear, his heart in fact also some tired, said Beijing City so many well-known cultural relics experts, this small Miao why have to find this young man to ah! Although he had also heard of some of Zhuang Rui’s deeds, but Director Wu’s heart for Zhuang Rui’s expertise on antiques is still a little less convinced.
“Hey, since you have the situation, directly to the black market to copy not just finished it, anyway, the black market is also illegal, you have enough reasons to exercise power ah!”
Once Zhuang Rui heard that this was the case, his heart immediately relaxed a bit, at least it wasn’t for him to deal with grave robbers, having experienced a black market auction. Zhuang Rui was very clear in his heart, those who opened the black market, are also handy, more importantly, in order to ensure their reputation, the security of the black market is not something that needs to be considered much.
However, Zhuang Rui heart or some reluctance, if you let him go to the black market Taobao, that’s no problem, but as a police informant to identify the cultural relics, this heart how so twisted it, the cultural relics experts in the city of Beijing more to go, why must look for their own ah!
“Mr. Zhuang, this cultural relics black market place, are generally temporary, and usually those antiques and cultural relics of the hiding place, we have no way to grasp, and whether the black market is illegal to define, is also relatively difficult, we just want to determine whether the batch of unearthed artifacts will be present in the auction, and then according to the clue to trace down! ……”
Wu director patiently explained to Zhuang Rui, almost did not say they do not care about cultural relics black market words, this black market is indeed very difficult to investigate, one to organize the black market people have background not to mention that often catch a group of people into the not two days but also to put out.
Secondly, it is difficult to convict this behavior, selling cultural relics? Others do not recognize ah! We call that the exchange between collectors. Tax evasion? That is the business tax management, you police dog with a nosy why!
So the black market of cultural relics in Beijing’s antique circle, almost all semi-public, many famous collection of experts and collectors have gone to those places to get the object, even if they are found, as long as you buy not national secondary or bronze artifacts, the police department even the right to take back the right is not, in this way, for this kind of black market, the public security officers tend to turn a blind eye to it.
Just like more than a month ago, Fatty Jin greeted Zhuang Rui to go to the black market of antiques, only Zhuang Rui happened to be busy at that time, otherwise, he would have had the chance to contact the black market in the capital circle.
“Director Wu, just merely to help you guys observe whether that batch of Henan’s excavated cultural relics will appear in the black market right?” After Zhuang Rui heard Director Wu’s explanation, he was a bit moved, because there was nothing dangerous about going to the black market! It might even be possible to poke around and get a few objects to come.
“Yes, if you agree, I will give you the relevant information of the stolen artifacts. If that batch of artifacts shows up in the black market, you can just notify us when the black market is done.”
Director Wu answered Zhuang Rui’s question with certainty, what they wanted to do was to follow the trail and find out the boss behind the theft and excavation of the artifacts, instead of looking for trouble in the black market, that being said, they also had the situation of the boss behind the black market in their hands for a long time now, they just couldn’t do anything to help anyone else.
“Director Wu, there are so many cultural relics appraisal experts in the capital, why did you find such a fledgling like me?” Zhuang Rui asked this with a glance at Miao Fei Fei, estimating that this is in all likelihood something she scurried to say.
Sure enough, Director Wu also glanced at Officer Miao with his eyes and said, “We’ve seen all of Mr. Zhuang’s folk treasure appraisal programs in Jinan, professionally speaking there’s no problem whatsoever, and also Miao is going to enter the black market this time around, you’re about the same age, so well!”
Secretary Wu did not have the free time to see what folk treasure appreciation program, this is Miao Fei Fei said, but the Secretary Wu through the antique line friend’s channel inquired about Zhuang Rui this person, know that he was not long ago in Panjiayuan, found a precious pottery, more or less should also have two brushes. And these days those qigong masters and so on, has long been debunked, without some real material, is not dare to run to the TV station.
“Miao Fei Fei you go too?” Zhuang Rui frowned at the words, this police officer has an excessive sense of justice! Just in case something goes wrong at that time. Then it would not be a good idea.
However, Zhuang Rui would never have thought that even if he, the appraisal expert, didn’t go, Mr. Miao would have to go.
In fact, the police have already determined the candidate, is an old expert, the expert is also very willing to cooperate with the police action, just Miao Fei Fei is not willing, although their own long very easy for others to fantasize, but let yourself pretend to be a second wife? Door are not! That’s why there is Zhuang Rui this candidate.
Originally it! This kind of thing simply do not need to Miao big police officer to follow, and not in the black market hands, let her follow what ah! But this case is the Ministry of Public Security supervised, the specifications are higher, the reward for the case officer is also very generous.
In the future, if the case is solved, then Miao police officer disguised, deep inside the enemy investigation of the deeds, naturally will be written, can also be used as a capital of its promotion, and because there is no danger, so the benefits of this within reach, naturally, it is natural to fall on the Miao deputy captain.
But Officer Miao didn’t think about it that much, she didn’t care if she got credit or not.
Just Miao Fei Fei these months is to stay in the criminal police team is not false, but the work done is all logistical support. All day office shortcomings of what things, night duty personnel food arrangements, these are all under the control of the vice captain Miao, has long been Miao Fei Fei suffocated not light, and now there is this opportunity, the vice captain Miao is naturally unshirkable, personally.
“What are you frowning about? Just say go or not?”
Miao Fei Fei saw that Zhuang Rui immediately frowned after hearing the news that she was going, and was very upset.
“Not going!” Zhuang Rui crossed her eyes, what’s wrong with scaring buddies?
“Zhuang Rui, consider it a personal favor. I didn’t ask you for anything, don’t go back, your white lion’s city dog license is still what I did, so soon you turn your back on me?”
See Zhuang Rui hard back a sentence, Miao Fei Fei instead of soft down, then said: “Your courtyard is not almost finished? You can also get a few good antiques to set up ah! We don’t care what you spend money on in the black market.”
Hear Miao Fei Fei said, Zhuang Rui began to hesitate, from the bottom of his heart, he also wants to go to the capital’s antique black market to see a little, he is now at least positioning is also a collector, before although a lot of good things, but because of the lack of money are sold, and now the rest of those objects at home is a little too shabby, only a Longshan black pottery and restored Jun kiln porcelains, it’s to be a whole lot of good objects.
Now play antiques people, the first choice is the regular auction house shot the object, that the authenticity of the more guaranteed, the second is to go to the antique market, just that place, although many real goods, but more fake stuff, basically belongs to the blind cat touched a dead mouse, all depending on luck.
And antique black market is different, here can be taken out of the auction of antiques, are identified by certain professionals, although not necessarily guarantee that 100% is true, but the real thing is much more than the antique market, and the price is cheaper than the auction house, so this kind of occasions, is the antique enthusiasts favorite place to go.
After considering for a while, Zhuang Rui said, “It’s not impossible to go, it’s just that I don’t know where the black market is, and I haven’t been there before, so others may not invite me, right?”
After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, Director Wu quickly said, “Don’t worry about this, Mr. Zhuang, you are now a very famous person in the antique world in the capital. We can ask a certain person who has participated in the black market to bring it up, just say that you want to participate, and the person organizing the black market will definitely contact you.”
Zhuang Rui nodded after hearing this and said, “Alright then! I can go, but there’s one request, Officer Miao can only look but not talk when he’s inside the black market, otherwise, I’d rather not go.”
“Zhuang Rui, are you a cop or am I a cop?”
Miao Fei Fei heard Zhuang Rui’s words and immediately glared, but then softened and said, “Alright! Anyway, I’m just going to see if there are any stolen antiques there, I’ll just look and not say anything, okay? But if you want to buy something yourself, prepare a sum of money yourself, our case funding is very tight, no money for you ah!”
Miao Fei Fei’s words make Zhuang Rui a bit laughable, he originally did not expect himself to buy things police to pay the bill, where there is such a good thing ah! At that moment, he nodded his head and said, “OK, just say it! I really have things to do today, after booking down the time, you guys call to inform me!”
“Mr. Zhuang, there is no way to determine when this black market will be held, the time and place are all temporarily set by the black market organizer, they will directly call and contact you then.”
Wu director’s words let Zhuang Rui froze for a moment, but think about it is also so, everything is grasped by the police, that black market boss again have background, even after being caught several times in the present, I’m afraid that it is also can’t be done.
“Zhuang Rui, but you promised ah! When the black market side gives a call back, you have to notify me right away ……” Miao Fei Fei acted as if she was even busier than Zhuang Rui, and after she finished speaking, she pulled Director Wu away.
“Hey, I say, beg me to do something and you guys don’t pay the bill?”
Until the two people out of the western restaurant, Zhuang Rui only reacted, dare to say that this sister has set herself up again.
