Chapter 536: Jianghu is all about Jianghu

The crowd gradually dispersed, and Meng Lang and Xiao Yu also left the scene. Director Zhang turned around and accidentally caught sight of their backs.

That seems to be...that annoying young man?

Why do I have the bad luck to meet this guy every time...

By the way, what did that guy say when we met last time?

He said that my dog ​​won't last long... I'm afraid I have to send it back?

He frowned slightly.

Did you almost fall for that crow's mouth? Did that guy receive the news in advance?

Judging from the way he was dressed, he was not a well-informed upper-class person, not to mention that at that time, the fish talk had not yet fermented, and the national dog restriction had not even affected his hair.

He can't predict the future, can he?

It should be... just a coincidence...

…

Magic City, a certain public security bureau.

"Snapped!"

"asshole!"

Wang Zhaoping hung up the phone and couldn't help but cursed.

"What's wrong, Captain Wang?" Qin Xiaoru asked upon seeing this.

"The higher ups asked us to close the team and cancel the monitoring of Iwasaki Hideyoshi!"

"Ah? Why?"

"I didn't say, just let us carry out the order..." Wang Zhaoping looked helpless.

Facts have proved that the Iwasaki family can even bring back those involved in the case such as Yuhei Iwasaki, and it is not a problem to lift surveillance.

Major cases are about politics, and the Mitsubishi consortium behind the Iwasaki family is definitely worthy of this level...

It has been more than a month since the Buddha's head was lost, and there has been no news so far. Naturally, it is impossible for the police to ignore the matter.

Wang Zhaoping has been staying in Shanghai during this period, assisting the local police in investigating the whereabouts of the Buddha's head.

Unfortunately, other than monitoring the Iwasaki family, the biggest suspect, the police have no clue.

The surveillance video obtained by the museum was studied repeatedly for more than a month, but they were unable to find any flaws. Based on the analysis of the scene, it was not a deception at all.

This incredible case even alarmed criminal investigation experts in the capital.

In the end, they came to a conclusion that sent chills down the spine.

That is the mysterious force that stole the Buddha's head, and it has at least one top hacker.

And the other party is likely to have the technology to tamper with the video to make it look like the real thing...

This conclusion has even greater impact than the loss of the Buddha's head.

Cultural relics are dead objects after all, and a technology that can profoundly affect the future naturally attracts more attention.

If someone really masters this terrible technology, the "Sky Eye System" gradually formed by various countries around the world through surveillance would be like opening a huge loophole.

Just imagine, if even the video surveillance you see with your own eyes can be faked, how many more unjust, false and wrongful cases will there be in the world?

Not to mention, if someone can easily steal a Buddha head, then other cultural relics in the museum can’t be obtained on demand?

The collapse of social trust, the missing evidence chain, and the rising crime rate are completely foreseeable disasters.

For an experienced detective like Wang Zhaoping, he has another reason to uncover the "ghost thief"...

However, finding clues from surveillance is still far away. The only clue, the Iwasaki family, is about to disappear from surveillance...

This gave him a sense of powerlessness.

"Team Wang, now that Iwasaki Yuhei has returned to China, even if the thing is really in the hands of the Iwasaki family, it has been so long that it would be extremely difficult to get it back.

Besides, if it is really a gangster attack, the possibility of the things being found in the Iwasaki family is extremely low..."

Wang Zhaoping sighed helplessly.

How could he not know about this kind of thing?

The longer it takes, whether it is changed hands or hidden, the less likely it is that the police will recover the item.

However, he worked hard for more than half a year to find this Buddha head, and saw that the cooked duck could fly.

Naturally, he was unwilling to do so.

"Is there any news about Buddha heads in the underground trading market?" He and Iwasaki Hideyoshi thought together.

"Well...it's true. Not long ago, a mysterious collector offered a high price of US$100 million on the dark web, offering a reward for the missing Buddha head and any related clues.

Because the amount was so sensational, a hacker friend of mine told it to me as gossip."

"Oh?" Wang Zhaoping was a little surprised.

"Wang Captain, tell me, could this be the work of the Iwasaki family?"

"Well...it's really possible!" Wang Zhaoping touched his chin.

100 million US dollars is not a small amount, and most cultural relics will not reach this price even if they are auctioned.

Regardless of spending money... I am afraid that the only ones who have the motive and the strength to issue such a huge reward are the Iwasaki family who are like dog-skin plaster on the Buddha's head...

From this point of view, the good news is that the Iwasaki family seems to have no goods. The bad news is that all the forces are confused about who has the goods...

"Captain Wang, otherwise, why don't we ask your well-informed gold medal informant?" Qin Xiaoru leaned over and reminded in a low voice.

Wang Zhaoping glared at her.

"You think you are really a god. How can you find the Buddha's head and find a needle in a haystack even if your eyes are completely black?"

"Then he can even dig out snake capitals from stone elephants? It's not impossible to find a needle in a haystack..."

"Oh, your work is already done by others. Why does the state support us? Otherwise, your monthly salary and bonus will also be given to others?"

"Don't! I'm wrong, isn't it okay?"

Qin Xiaoru stuck out her tongue and quickly ran away with a pile of documents.

"Really, I try to take shortcuts every day..."

Wang Zhaoping was angry, but he honestly leaned out of the office and quickly glanced around to make sure there was no one outside, then closed the door and locked it, all in one go...

No way, once there are shortcuts in life, who would think of taking the long way around?

I don’t know if there has been any progress after so long since I asked someone to help me find out the news...

【Du~Du~】

【Hey~】

As the other end of the phone was connected, Wang Zhaoping said hello enthusiastically.

"Haha! Brother Meng, how have you been lately?"

[Well... the people are okay, but the living environment is a bit harsh...]

"Well……"

Living environment? What does it mean?

Dasu City is one of the top ten livable cities in China. I have never heard of any serious environmental pollution problems?

Before Wang Zhaoping could react to this unreasonable answer, the other person spoke again.

【You are looking for me to ask about the Buddha's head, right?】

Wang Zhaoping suddenly coughed dryly.

"Brother Meng is very well-informed, and he probably heard that things are not going well on our side.

But that is our national treasure. I am really unwilling to lose my brother like this..."

[Team Wang’s dedication to his duties is truly admirable.]

Wang Zhaoping smiled bitterly, "Brother, please don't put your hat on me. To be honest, the clues from the Iwasaki family have been cut off, and I am helpless now.

If it was just an ordinary cultural relic that was lost, then it wouldn't be too bad.

But the Iwasaki family tried to snatch it away again and again, trying to get it at all costs. I always felt that the other party’s purpose was not just to covet my Chinese treasure.”

[Haha! You are really wrong about this. These guys are really just coveting our Chinese treasures...]

It's just that this "treasure" is not that "treasure"...

Wang Zhaoping did not hear the implication of Meng Lang's words, but these words made his eyes light up.

"Oh? Why is Brother Meng so sure? Could it be that you found some information over there?"

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to think about it for a moment.
