The next day, the news got out, and the TV station announced the list of stolen relics.
One piece, two pieces, three pieces, four pieces, all of which were cultural relics above the second level. The theft of Liu Sheng's Golden Jade Suit, a national treasure, caused a huge uproar. It could be said that the whole world was shocked, and it suddenly exploded like a deep water bomb. This dress is very important in China's history. This is the oldest, most complete, and most complete jade dress unearthed. It is more valuable than most National Treasures. Stolen? It was easily stolen from the Beihe Province Museum? Many people felt this is unbelievable!
Dong Xuebing's mother called him immediately.
"Xiao Bing, I heard someone had robbed the Provincial Museum. Have they caught the culprit?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "Not yet. The Provincial Government is also investigating. They should be back soon."
"Sigh … people these days …" Luan Xiaoping sighed. "They are getting bolder."
Not only Dong Xuebing's mother, but the TV, newspapers, and the internet are also discussing yesterday's incident. Even when Dong Xuebing was waiting at a red light, he could hear many passers-by and drivers talking about the Jade Dress angrily. It's no wonder. The last time a Grade 1 or Grade 2 Relic was stolen, there was a huge uproar. This time, it's a National Treasure.
Dong Xuebing returned to the County's Public Security Bureau and continued to investigate.
One day passed …
Two days passed …
Three days passed …
The Provincial Public Security's three-day deadline had passed, but none of the stolen items were recovered. It was not that there were no clues at all. Through the surveillance cameras at the intersection near the museum, the police found the suspect's car. It was a white Jinbei car, and the car number was covered by a CD. After all kinds of efforts, the police finally found the Jinbei car in Shanbei Province. However, the owner had reported that the car was stolen half a year ago, and the clues ended there. There were no witnesses, fingerprints, or anything else. It seemed that solving the case would take forever.
To divert the public's attention, the Provincial Government fired a few leaders to take responsibility. For example, Yan Tai County's Party Secretary, Chang Lei, was transferred to the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau after he stepped down. In the end, he was treated as a scapegoat and was fired along with a few leaders from the Provincial Museum.
At noon.
Liang Chengpeng called Dong Xuebing to his office.
"Chief Dong, the Provincial Government had joined forces with Shanbei Province to investigate this case. Our County does not need to be so strict." Based on the leads, since the Golden Cup Car had appeared in Shanbei Province, that group of people and the Golden Jade Suit should have escaped there. They should not appear in Hebei Province, and Yan Tai County does not have enough manpower. That's why this temporary investigation team can be dismissed.
Dong Xuebing also understood and sighed in his heart.
Liang Chengpeng looked at him and said, "I heard that you haven't recovered yet? It seems like there's too much mental pressure? "
"Thank you for your concern." Dong Xuebing replied. "Actually, it's nothing serious. Maybe I am just tired."
Liang Chengpeng shook his head, pointed at him and said, "You're always making people worry. If I had known that you were still ill, how would I have dared to assign you a mission? How about this, I'll grant you another week of leave next week. You should go home and recover your mental state first. Don't be too tense and relax. "
Dong Xuebing smiled. "Chief Liang, I am fine."
"This is an order. Go and have a good rest. You will be very busy in the future!"
Since Liang Chengpeng had said this, what else can Dong Xuebing say? He replied gratefully. "Thank you, Chief Liang."
Dong Xuebing is someone who will do anything in the face of difficulties. There are so many cases in the Bureau, and Liang Chengpeng is not willing to give him another week of leave. But yesterday afternoon, Hu Silian mentioned Dong Xuebing's condition to Liang Chengpeng during a meeting with the County Government. She told Liang Chengpeng not to be too stressed. Although she said it casually, Liang Chengpeng does not think so. He felt Mayor Xie had instructed Secretary Hu to give Dong Xuebing one more week of leave. Liang Chengpeng thought for a while and decided to give Dong Xuebing one more week of leave. He also cannot give Dong Xuebing any dangerous missions.
Liang Chengpeng is Xiang Daofa's man, but that does not mean he is willing to offend Mayor Xie.
This is how government officials work. As long as they do not fall out with each other, and it does not involve profits, everyone will give face to each other. Of course, Liang Chengpeng does not dare to go against Mayor Xie. Even if they are from different factions, Mayor Xie is still his leader.
Back in his office, Dong Xuebing rubbed his temples.
I had not worked for the past few months. How long have I been resting? Now, I have another holiday?
Dong Xuebing wants to tell Liang Chengpeng that he is not that weak, and he can do any job. But Chief Liang is concerned about him, and if Dong Xuebing refuses, he will not know what's good for him. He might even offend his leader. Sigh … the Museum Burglary Case is not solved, and now he is taking a break. When can he get his First-class Merit? When can he get promoted to Section Chief? Dong Xuebing is not someone who will give up easily. Furthermore, he had made up his mind to solve this case. He thought for a while and picked up his phone.
Continue to investigate! Anyway, I still have not rested today!
Dong Xuebing does not have high hopes. But he made an unexpected discovery.
In the afternoon, the Internet Surveillance Bureau called.
"Chief Dong, I am Wang Bo from the Internet Surveillance Bureau."
"Oh, what is it?" Dong Xuebing had worked with Wang Bo on his first hacking case in Yan Tai County. He has some impression of this name, but it is not familiar.
Wang Bo said something shocking. "Someone might know the whereabouts of the stolen relics."
"Oh?" Dong Xuebing's eyes brighten up. "Who is it? Where are the relics? "
Wang Bo told him that they didn't know where the item was, and they didn't even know if the news was true or not. Anyway, when they were checking the network security, they accidentally intercepted an email, which seemed to vaguely mention the museum being robbed. The people from the Internet Surveillance Bureau immediately checked the email address, but they found that it was all fake, and they couldn't track the specific address. Wang Bo didn't dare to delay, afraid that he would miss some important clues, so he reported the matter to the bureau.
But Chief Liang did not think much of it and asked him to report to Chief Dong.
Dong Xuebing did not pay too much attention to what Feng Yu said. Everything on the internet is fake, and it's possible for someone to brag about something. Dong Xuebing thought for a while and said. "Give me his email address. You all can continue to investigate and see if you can find out where that person is."
Since Dong Xuebing has nothing to do, he might as well investigate!
Dong Xuebing registered a Yahoo account and sent an email to that account. Dong Xuebing did not bother with his wording as he does not believe this person will know where the stolen relics are. "Do you know the location of the stolen relics in Hebei Province?" Dong Xuebing asked.
A few minutes later, sasasa668 replied. "Who are you?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "I heard a friend talking about you and am curious."
Sasasa668 replied. "Pikachu's friend?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "That's right. Where are the relics?"
This time, sasasa668 waited for five to six minutes before replying. "I don't know. I was just talking to Pikachu."
Dong Xuebing starts to send more emails, but sasasa668 did not reply. Dong Xuebing frowned as he felt this person's reaction is different from those who lie. He is too serious and alert. Dong Xuebing had a feeling this person might know something, and he continued to send a few more emails. In the end, there was still no reply, and Dong Xuebing tempted him. "I will offer 100,000 RMB for your information. What do you think?"
Sasasa668 finally replied. "Who are you?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "A patriotic person."
Sasasa668: "… I really don't know. You should ask someone else."
100,000 RMB is not tempting? Dong Xuebing paused for a second and replied. "1 million!"
Sasasa668: "I also don't know even if you offer me 10 million RMB."
Dong Xuebing blinked. "Then 20 million RMB. You should know now. Brother, don't reject me so quickly. I also want to find those relics as soon as possible. Don't worry. Even if someone asks me, I will not tell them who gave me this information. Furthermore, you only have an email address, and no one knows who you are. 20 million RMB, and we will meet in Hebei Province. What do you think? "
Sasasa668 is shocked. "Are you serious?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "Yes. Those relics are worth at least a few billion, and 20 million RMB is the highest I can offer. Of course, your information must be accurate."
Sasasa668 kept quiet for a while. "How do you want to trade?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "Let's meet in person. You can choose the location."
The other end of the phone became quiet again. Dong Xuebing doesn't understand. This is 20 million RMB, and if it is someone else, they will go crazy. Why is he hesitating? Actually, Dong Xuebing did not intend to give him money. He only needs to meet him and bring him back to the station for interrogation. What can't he get out of him? That's why Dong Xuebing is so generous. His motive is to lure sasasa668 out.
Five minutes …
Ten minutes …
Finally, Dong Xuebing received the time and address of the meeting.
Dong Xuebing looked at the address. It is in Provincial City, and it is not far from his office. But the meeting must wait until tomorrow. Dong Xuebing can't wait and sent sasasa668 an email to discuss with him. In the end, both of them decided to meet in front of an ICBC bank on West Road of Provincial City in one hour.
Dong Xuebing drove to the Provincial City after getting downstairs.
At 3 pm, Dong Xuebing arrived at the ICBC bank and walked around the entrance. He waited for five minutes, but no one showed up. He waited for ten minutes, and still no one showed up. Dong Xuebing frowned and looked at his watch. Is sasasa668 trying to trick me?
At around 3.30 pm, a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses walked towards the impatient Dong Xuebing.
"You are Dong 25521?" That man looked at Dong Xuebing's shirt color.
Dong Xuebing looked at him. "That's me. Are you sasasa668?" Dong Xuebing clenched his fist. He was prepared to bring this man back to the bureau and interrogate him personally. If not, he can use BACK to get back to Dong Xuebing. Anyway, Dong Xuebing is determined to get this information.
But that middle-aged man shook his head. "I am not. sasasa668 asked me to come here."
Dong Xuebing frowned. "Where is he? Why is he not here? Didn't you say we will meet to trade? "
"I will trade with you." The middle-aged man looked around cautiously. "Did you bring the money?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "Money is not a problem, but you must let me verify the authenticity of this information. If it is fake, then I will have wasted my money. "Dong Xuebing paused for a second." Tell me where the money is. "
The middle-aged man with sunglasses shook his head. "I don't know what you are talking about. I don't even know what you and sasasa668 want to trade. He only told me to deposit the money, and when the money is in the account, I will call him, and he will talk to you."
"You don't know?"
That man shook his head. "I am only in charge of receiving the money."
He is very cautious. Dong Xuebing can't tell if this man is telling the truth. Maybe he is sasasa668? He did not admit it out of caution? What should I do? Follow the original plan? But if he doesn't know anything, it's useless to bring him back. Also, it will alert the enemy, and it will be hard to get more information. Dong Xuebing thought of a lot and suddenly had an idea. "Alright. I will believe you all this once."
The middle-aged man looked around and looked at Dong Xuebing quietly.
Dong Xuebing took out a cheque from his bag and wrote a line of numbers on it. After that, he took the cheque off and passed it to him. "20 million."
The middle-aged man's hands were trembling as he looked at the cheque.
Dong Xuebing asked. "Can you tell me now?"
"I need to deposit the money into my account first." The middle-aged man is afraid it will be an empty cheque and entered ICBC.
The cheque was given to Dong Xuebing by Aunt Xuan during her visit to Yan Tai County. She had stamped the Finance Department's stamp and signed the cheque. Dong Xuebing only needs to fill in the numbers and enter the password. Yun De Auction Company has less than 30 million in cash in their account, and 2,000 RMB should be enough. That's why Dong Xuebing is not worried the bank will return the cheque.
After a while, the middle-aged man walked out of the bank.
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Are you done checking? Is it true? "
That man nodded and replied. "Wait for my call." He took out his phone and dialed a number. After the line got through, he said something and passed the phone to Dong Xuebing. "He wants you to answer the phone."
Dong Xuebing answered. "Hello, sasasa668?"
"Yes." A hoarse voice answered. "The cheque is confirmed, and there are no problems." Dong Xuebing laughed.
Dong Xuebing laughed. "You should have seen my sincerity, and I don't want to hear any fake news. If not, even if you run to the Northwest, I will drag you out. Do you believe me?"
Sasasa668 believes this person. A person who can intercept his email and take out 20 million RMB without batting an eyelid must have a powerful background. sasasa668 can guess that this person might be related to the Police. So, sasasa668 replied. "We must be honest when doing business. Don't worry. I will not give you false information. Hmmm … I had found out about this by accident. Only one of them had driven out of Hebei Province to Shanbei and abandoned his car. His motive is to divert the Police's attention. He should be trying to smuggle the items out of the country by sea."
Dong Xuebing frowned. "Are you sure?"
"Most likely so. The item should still be in Beihe Province. Remember, it's a bath center called 'Seaside'. Their boss is related to this incident. I don't know if they planned to steal the item, but the item must have been in their hands two days ago. They might have bought it, or it might have been something else. I'm not sure." "That's right.
"What about the rest?"
"That's all I know."
Dong Xuebing hung up and stared at BACK 6 minutes!
… …
… …
The scene changed!
Dong Xuebing felt dizzy for a second, and the next moment, he saw a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses walking towards him.
"You are Dong 25521?" The middle-aged man looked at Dong Xuebing's clothes.
Dong Xuebing looked at him and shook his head. "No."
The middle-aged man nodded and looked around to see if there is anyone else wearing a striped shirt.
Dong Xuebing laughed and took out his car keys. He drove off without looking back. Luckily, he did not arrest that man. If not, he would not be able to get this important information. BACK … BACK … I didn't know it can be used like this.
The middle-aged man waited for a long time at the bank's entrance, but no one in the striped shirt appeared. He had no choice but to call sasasa668 to inform him of the situation.
Sasasa668 sighed. "Stop waiting. Come back now."
"Ok."
1 million or 2 million is nothing to sasasa668. His business is doing well, and he does not need to take this risk. But Dong Xuebing's offer of 20 million is too tempting. sasasa668 had considered for a long time before making this decision. But Dong Xuebing did not show up for the transaction. Sigh … But it's fine. It's fine if Dong Xuebing did not show up. If news of him leaking this information gets out, he might not be able to spend his money.
Sasasa668 is optimistic, but he does not know that Dong Xuebing had gotten the information he wants.
