night.
It seems that since ancient times, the night has been labeled as "bad".
Whether it is ghosts in mythology or criminals in reality, they always love the night.
But this is normal. After all, humans are phototactic creatures to a certain extent and are always resistant to the darkness they see.
At the same time, night is when people are asleep, and to some extent, it is also the time when everyone is least prepared, so criminals will naturally choose this opportunity to commit crimes.
The little black people are naturally a race that loves the night. After all, you can tell from their skin color that their talent "Stealth" is definitely maxed out.
And tonight, Director Qiaoshan, transformed into a little black man, drove to a small park near the art museum.
But he didn't go any closer. After all, the tight security around him was not something that an ordinary black man like him could break through.
But he doesn't need to go through so much trouble.
After getting off the car, the little black man came to the common sewer cover in the park, lifted it up with force, and then carefully went down into the sewer.
The flashlight brought a ray of light into the dark sewer. He turned two corners and stopped, then removed a brick from the wall in front of him.
It turns out that this wall was just built in the shape of bricks and was not actually sealed!
The little black man piled bricks at his feet, and soon a passage large enough for one person to pass through appeared in front of him.
He walked into the rectangular space with a smug smile, where a painting of "Mirror Lake" was placed on the ground.
He picked up the painting and pressed the button on the wall again. A secret door opened directly, revealing the scene of the art gallery's storage room.
It turns out there's a secret door in the gallery's storage room, and it's this secret room that allows them to swap paintings so easily.
But the little black man's expression was not so good at this moment, because the figures of Tang Ze and a group of criminals in the storage warehouse had come into his sight.
"It seems that this secret passage must be the secret passage that the wealthy man used to escape back then, right?"
Tang Ze looked at Director Qiaoshan, whose expression was distorted and frightened, and smiled and said, "Why, are you surprised to see me?"
"You...how could you..." Hashiyama Koji pointed at Tang Ze and trembled, unable to speak.
"You mean how do I know you're here?"
Tang Ze spread his hands and smiled, "Although your move of inviting an expert to appraise this was a good one, it did temporarily confuse me, making me think you were not a suspect.
But when the painting came out, the truth was revealed.
The expert's identification can't be wrong, and my sense of smell can't be wrong, so there is only one possibility.
"It was someone inside you who tampered with the item, playing a trick of 'substituting a cat for a prince'. After all, if the thieves outside had gotten the item, they would have already run away and wouldn't have been afraid of the appraisal at all."
Looking at the pale-faced Hashiyama Koji, Tang Ze said with a sarcastic smile, "You've dug your own grave.
Of course, I still have to praise you here. It was beyond your expectation that I discovered the fake, right?
But even though it was a sudden accident, you handled it very well. You even came up with the idea of leaking it to the media, allowing the higher-ups and public opinion to put pressure on me at the same time, trying to keep me from being able to cope with it.
But unfortunately, when the experts from the Russian Bear Country authenticated "Mirror Lake" as an authentic work, I already knew that the culprit was an insider of your art museum.
In this case, I will simply play along and make you think that I have really given up investigating the case, and then let Uncle Jiroji give you a deadline, forcing you to
Replace the painting.
But what I didn't expect was that you were so impatient that you chose to take action tonight. This will save the guys who are waiting there two days of overtime."
Although Tang Ze seemed to have done nothing, he had actually already set up a tight net, waiting for them to fall into it.
And Hashiyama Koji on the side felt like he was falling into an icy cave. He felt like a puppet with strings tied behind his back, unable to escape the invisible net.
"What? Are you still planning to protect your accomplice?"
Tang Ze looked at the shaken Hashiyama Koji and pressed on, "Your relationship with Onishi Kenji isn't that strong enough to make you willing to reduce his sentence and protect him, right?"
"They've actually seen this far! How terrifying... The 'famous criminal' really lives up to his reputation..."
Hashiyama Koji sold out his companions without hesitation in exchange for a chance to reduce his sentence: "That's right, the mastermind is Kenji Onishi!
This plan was his, and the counterfeits used to replace the real ones were also his work!!”
After Hashiyama Koji sold out his teammates, Tang Ze picked up the intercom hanging on his waist and said, "It's time to start."
A burst of rapid noise came from the intercom, occasionally interspersed with a few shouts of Kenji Onishi's struggle, but soon it returned to calm again.
"It's done. Also, we found a lot of famous works in his house, but we don't know whether they are real or not." Sato Miwako's voice came from the intercom, reporting the situation over there.
"I understand. Let's leave those tasks to professionals to assist us."
Tang Ze smiled and said, "I asked Uncle Jiroyoshi to keep those experts. I will leave this job to these professionals."
Hashiyama Koji, who was standing by, couldn't help but chuckle when he heard what Tang Ze said: "So this was all planned...
It's not unfair to lose to you, this game is totally not on the same level..."
He felt that Onishi's plan was thorough enough, and he reacted quickly enough to Tang Ze's accusation that the painting was fake.
It even put Tang Ze in a dilemma of public opinion and pressure from the upper echelons.
But who knew that Tang Ze saw right to the bottom, and that those little tricks of him and Onishi had no effect at all, and even left a lot of loopholes...
To put it simply, they were still showing off their skills. Tang Ze directly attacked the weak point with a brick. There was no point in being so fancy...
"I want to know, what are you going to do if we don't replace "Mirror Lake" anymore?" Hashiyama Koji looked at Tang Ze and couldn't help asking.
"No, I'm sure you'll come and steal the painting."
Tang Ze chuckled, and looking at Hashiyama Koji who was a little unconvinced and wanted to refute, he reminded him: "Don't forget, Uncle Jiroji originally wanted to take away the Mirror Lake, but you stopped him.
From this action, I know that you have not given up on stealing Mirror Lake."
"I didn't expect that this was also a test..."
Thinking of the scene during the day, Hashiyama Koji couldn't help but feel a chill all over his body. Finally, he smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Perhaps our greatest price is greed..."
Greed can never be satisfied, and it will eventually blind your eyes and destroy you along with your inner desires.
