"Guess what, Little Zhao?" In Qinshan Bank's safety deposit box, Liang Huan looked at the many safety deposit boxes that had been broken into and said to Zhao Yu, "I have a sudden thought. I feel that behind this robbery, there might be other murders!"
"What do you mean?" Zhao Yu stared at the table in the middle of the safety deposit box, at the various valuables that had already been categorized.
"Look!" Liang Huan analyzed, "If the officials were to be bribed, it would be boxes upon boxes of money! Even if they dared to take jewelry, they couldn't be like a grocery store and take everything, right? Look, Vacheron Constantin, Armani, LV … all kinds of brands. Although they're all quite valuable, which briber would use these things to bribe the officials? Isn't that too much fun? "
"So?" Zhao Yu did not even raise his head.
"So, I feel that the robbers had already killed the owner of the safety deposit box!" Liang Huan said mysteriously, "They knew that there was good stuff in the safety deposit box, but after they killed the person, they couldn't find the key, or the password was wrong, so they used this extreme method!"
Seeing that Zhao Yu did not respond, he continued, "Otherwise, why wouldn't they come to claim it after so long?"
Zhao Yu touched the jewelry on the table. He was also trying to figure out if Liang Huan's guess was possible.
That day, he had gotten a pretty good "Gen-Dui" hexagram, so he felt that the breakthrough in the case would most likely happen with the valuables in the safety deposit boxes. That was why he decided to go back to the safety deposit box with Liang Huan to investigate.
That day, the bank had hired quite a number of experts to appraise and repair the valuables that had been destroyed by the robbers.
In the safety deposit box, the robbers had opened seventeen safety deposit boxes. Other than the box with the vacuum sealed corpse, there were sixteen boxes left.
Among them, there were thirteen boxes that had been opened, but the things inside were not touched by the robbers. Currently, 10 of the cabinets had been claimed, leaving only 3 cabinets whose owners had yet to be found.
Other than that, the last three safety deposit boxes were different. The robbers had taken everything out of the three boxes and scattered them everywhere, creating the illusion of chaos in the safety deposit box.
Therefore, the police detectives guessed that if the robbers had really stolen something, it would most likely be in one of the three cabinets!
The reason why they threw the things in the three cabinets all over the floor was probably to confuse the police and prevent them from finding out what they had lost!
At this moment, the experts invited by the bank had basically finished appraising the treasure. Now, all that was left was to repair and restore it.
Since Liang Huan had some understanding of the antique collection business, Miao Ying sent him over to collect information and supervise the bank's appraisal work.
There were all kinds of valuables, including especially valuable gold and silver jewelry, jewels and jades, antiques, paintings, watches and bags, and even old and valuable comic books.
Through the appraisal of the experts, these things were all genuine, not a single one of them was fake!
"All these things add up to about tens of millions!" As Liang Huan spoke, he was still looking at the three empty safety deposit boxes. "I don't understand. The robbers should have taken some of it, and it would have been enough for their next life, but … why didn't they?"
"Unless …" Zhao Yu creased his eyebrows and said, "Unless the thing that the robbers took was more valuable than these things!"
"Yes, that's what I thought too! But look … "Liang Huan pointed at a red jewelry box among the valuables and said," Even the diamond ring was thrown on the floor. That's hard to explain, right? What else is more valuable than a diamond ring? Plus, the diamond ring is so big, it wouldn't be a problem to take it away, right? "
Indeed, Zhao Yu felt that it was very strange. If the robbers did not even take the diamond ring, which was easy to carry and expensive, then what else would they have taken?
"Liang," Zhao Yu looked at the three cabinets and said, "Look, there are so many things, one cabinet definitely can't fit them all, right?"
"Yes!" Liang Huan said, "It would need three cabinets! It's just that we don't know which ones are in which cabinets! "
"Even though the three cabinets are not connected," Zhao Yu pointed at the safety deposit boxes and said, "they are very close to each other. Do you think that these three cabinets belong to the same person?"
"The same person?" Liang Huan recalled, "The registered name is not the same person! But since the registered name is fake, we can't rule out the possibility that all three cabinets belong to the same person! "
"Then … what about the opening time?" Zhao Yu asked again.
"I've checked, but I can't remember! Wait … "Liang Huan turned on his phone and began to look at the records.
"Oh yeah, what did the forensics department say?" Zhao Yu seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Did they not find any fingerprints on the valuables?"
"Yes!" Liang Huan was still looking down at his phone. After two seconds, he came back to his senses and asked, "Hey? How did you know? "
"Hehe …" Zhao Yu laughed and patted Liang Huan's shoulder. "Alright, I know why the owner of the cabinets did not dare to show up!"
"Ah? Why? Is he really dead? "Liang Huan stopped pressing and looked up curiously.
"Sigh! Old Liang! "Zhao Yu let out a long sigh." This bank robbery case is getting more and more interesting! Let me tell you … "He pointed at the valuables on the table and said," These things were all obtained illegally — stolen goods!!! "
"Ah? Stolen … stolen goods? "Liang Huan's eyebrows were raised high." What do you mean? "
"It couldn't be more obvious!" Zhao Yu told him confidently. "Quickly send someone to check. These things were either stolen or robbed! These three cabinets were specifically used to store stolen goods! They've encountered a 'black merchant'! "
"What? What? "Liang Huan was even more confused." What does' black merchant 'mean? "
"In Jianghu jargon, 'black merchant' is a place that specializes in buying stolen goods from thieves or robbers!" Zhao Yu explained, "There are three levels of black merchant: low, medium, and high. The low level is for petty thieves, cell phones and wallets; the medium level is for electric cables and public property; and the high level is what we're looking at right now, all of which are expensive items!"
"Oh …" Liang Huan scratched his head. "No wonder the owner hasn't shown up yet! They're all illegal! Buying stolen goods can be a big or small crime. This is worth tens of millions. They could even be sentenced to life in prison! "
"Hehe … let me tell you another secret!" Zhao Yu said to Liang Huan, "With such a large scale, there's no way it could be done by one person!
"This is a huge stolen goods buying group that's hidden in Qinshan! If we can catch these people, it'll be amazing! If we follow the clues, we can probably find more than eighty percent of the thieves and robbers in Qinshan! "
