Chapter 409 Mission Accomplished [Update 2]

Late at night, in the Hu family villa.

Mr. Hu Dehai, Mrs. Hu, Hu Tianyue and others sat at the round table and looked at Jiayi.

The moonlight poured in, and Jiayi sat at a corner of the round table with a cold expression, her hands on the table.

She glanced over, and even if Hu Dehai looked at her, she would feel uncomfortable as if she was being interrogated.

"Mr. Hu, since you asked the No. 1 officer directly to protect Miss Hu's safety, you should have passed on to me all the information that affects Miss Hu's safety. If you hide the information like this, it is very likely that the police deployment will have problems due to information asymmetry, which may ultimately affect not only Miss Hu's safety, but also the safety of all of us." Jiayi's tone was particularly serious. She put aside the murder case and came to the Hu family mansion. She was trapped here with Hu Tianyue every day, guarding the west villa with a PTU team, but there were huge loopholes in the most basic "know yourself and know the enemy" when facing the enemy. In the end, if the mission failed because of this...

the cost was too high, and no one could bear that result.

"Madam Yi, it's not that we intentionally hid it." Hu Dehai felt that he was in the wrong, but he still had to explain his behavior. He definitely didn't have the initiative to make mistakes, but it was indeed his inconsiderateness... "This matter has been low-key since it was planned. We all believe that the less people know about it, the fewer unfavorable factors there are from the outside world, and the higher the possibility of it going smoothly. In addition, the police tip-off to me said that it was because Ah Yue had just returned from London and had no tacit bodyguards to protect her that she became the target of the kidnappers. I really didn't expect the kidnapping threat to be related to 'this matter'."

"Although the police tip-off was confirmed to be true after verification by the Intelligence Department, many of the details were unknown. There may still be deviations. I need to understand the overall information to make a more complete judgment. I hope Mr. Hu can understand. "Jia Yi looked around, pondered for a while, and said sincerely:

"Now in this room, there are only a few of you insiders and me. I can sign the confidentiality of information now. Or if what Mr. Hu said is too important and you can't trust me, please contact someone you can trust in the police force and make sure he knows all the overall information, and then make the most complete judgment. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be an information gap, which will affect all our decisions and judgments, and the consequences may be serious. "

Hu Dehai lowered his eyes and thought silently for a long time, turned his head and looked at his wife and daughter, he let out a long breath, and then spoke:

"Madam, there is no need to sign a confidentiality agreement, and there is no need to ask anyone else. I trust you."

He then took a sip of the milk in front of him, and organized his words while thinking.

Jiayi and the others were waiting patiently. As the night deepened, the surroundings became quiet, which was just the right time to talk about the whole story.

Hu Dehai stood up and walked to the big bookcase. He pulled out a stack of photos from a shelf of books, turned back to the long table, handed the photos to Yi Jiayi, and then continued:

"The antique in Officer Yi's photo is called "Ladies in Silk". It is a silk painting with silk as the base. It is also the earliest narrative silk painting in China. It presents the most realistic portrayal of the life of court women and is the opening work in the history of Chinese art. It was created more than a thousand years earlier than the great Renaissance. Picasso once said that the real art is in China.

"The author of this "Ladies in Silk" used the floating silk drawing technique to make the painting elegant and lively. It not only describes the heroic stories of that era, but also presents the daily life of people of all classes and identities, and even court allusions... It represents this kind of 'real art'!

"Many years ago, it was lost abroad. Those who briefly owned it only used it as a tool to get rich. They did not understand its true value at all.

"A few months ago, Christie's auction house in London released the auction information of this treasure... During the fierce auction a few weeks ago, I successfully bought it.

"For its safety and to avoid unnecessary trouble, it did not come back with me immediately after the auction. A few days ago, Ah Yue personally brought it back with the bodyguard."

Hu Dehai took out the newspaper with the photo of Hu Tianyue returning to China, pushed it in front of Yi Jiayi, and pointed to Hu Tianyue's wrist covered by the long sleeves in the photo.

Jiayi's heart surged, she lowered her head and looked in the direction of his finger, and heard Hu Tianyue's words:

"My wrist and the suitcase are locked together. I am here, it is here."

Jiayi pursed her lips into a straight line, her eyes flashed with light, and the look she looked up at Hu Tianyue was completely different from before.

"Madam, it is now in the east villa." Hu Dehai retracted his finger, propped his arms on the table, and spoke in a deep voice.

...

...

In the early morning, the Hu family fell asleep.

Jiayi couldn't sleep.

She got up, turned on a night light, walked to the whiteboard, and erased all the writing on the second whiteboard with an eraser. She

stood for a long time with her arms crossed, starting from the initial information she received from Hei Pilong, and sorted out the logic bit by bit.

At that time, Hei Pi Long mentioned that his friend heard the conversation between the three mainland boys, but after all, the eavesdroppers were not in the same room with the mainland boys, and only heard fragments of their conversation.

Jia Yi specially brought Brother San Fu to record the statements of Hei Pi Long and his friends. In fact, the words they heard were just some key words:

[Wu Tianyue]

[Wu Fuhao]

[A lot of money]

[Big business]

...

Now it is known that the three murderers who killed Lou Feng in Hung Hom are the same group of people as the three murderers who were tracked by the informant to "prepare to kidnap the children of the Hu family." In other

words, the three murderers that Jia Yi saw in the mind flow image are the same group of people as the three people who were tracked by the informant to "prepare to kidnap the children of the Hu family."

Combined with the conversation between the three murderers in the flow image...

The three mainlanders came to Hong Kong for something worth millions of pounds!

In fact, the information that the police have guessed so far and the intelligence department has tracked cannot prove 100% that the mainlanders want to kidnap Wu Tianyue!

Jiayi suddenly felt her breathing quicken. She turned her head and looked at the several surveillance TVs with screens on in the dim bedroom.

Four PTU police officers were guarding the bedroom door and on standby at any time. There were also several bodyguards outside the villa in the west wing, and all the police resources that the police had fully invested in the "Wu Family Children Kidnapping Case"...

Wrong!

All wrong!

Jiayi paced back and forth in the bedroom for a few circles, turned around and left the bedroom. Not caring about the late time, she immediately called Superintendent Huang's home phone.

The bell rang for a long time before a hoarse female voice was heard.

Jiayi immediately said, "Sister Aya, this is Yi Jiayi. I have something important to tell Huang Sir. Can I ask Huang Sir to answer the phone?"

"It's Eleven. Wait a moment." The person who answered the phone was Huang Sir's wife Aya. After hearing that it was Yi Jiayi, she cleared her throat, turned around and covered the microphone and shouted the name of Superintendent Huang. Then she said into the microphone, "Wait a moment, he's coming over."

"Thank you, Sister Aya."

"You're still working so late. Although you're young, you have to take care of your body."

"Understood. Sorry to disturb your sleep."

"It doesn't matter. The young people are all working. How can he, as a superior, have the nerve to sleep so soundly? They are all old people. I really don't understand why he still feels so sleepy." Aya stopped talking and turned to see her husband coming over. She said to Jiayi, "He's here. Ask me to have tea when you are not busy."

After Superintendent Huang took the phone, he cleared his throat and asked, "What's the matter, Sister Eleven?"

"Sir, the mainland guy is not going to kidnap Hu Tianyue, but the antiques that Hu Dehai brought back from overseas. We got it all wrong. All departments and individuals involved in this investigation and protection work must immediately change their work goals. I guess the other party will take action soon. Mr. Hu made an appointment with the mainland museum to hand over at the Luohu Customs on the 9th. It is now 3 a.m. on the 8th. We don't have much time left." Jiayi said anxiously.

Huang Zhongcheng digested Jiayi's words in silence for a while before asking for details.

Jiayi erased the information extracted from the flow image and quickly explained the other information she knew one by one.

"For the top rich people in Hong Kong, several million pounds of property also accounts for a considerable proportion of their own wealth." Jiayi frowned. Several million pounds is equivalent to over 100 million Hong Kong dollars. In Hong Kong in the 1990s, this was definitely top wealth. If the criminals succeed, this case will inevitably become the largest case of the century in Hong Kong in an era. The severity of the situation is immeasurable.

What's more, the significance of "Ladies' Silk" being brought back is too great. It must not be stolen and sold abroad again.

Otherwise, the Hong Kong police force and everyone involved in this case will have to bear the crime that they cannot bear, and even the entire Hong Kong police force will not be able to hold their heads up.

Not to mention that the No. 1 officer cannot bear the blame, can the No. 1 figure in Hong Kong bear it?

This is a world that will be written into history!

Huang Zhongcheng also realized the seriousness of the situation, and the fingertips holding the phone gradually became cold.

"Such a big thing..." Sir Huang sighed, "I will report this matter now, you adjust the security settings of the PTU members deployed in the Hu family villa, and wait for my reply."

"OK." Jiayi nodded.

After hanging up the phone, Jiayi took a deep breath.

After summoning four PTU police officers, she immediately deployed three of them to the east wing villa to cooperate with the bodyguards there for security patrols. After leaving two bodyguards to protect Hu Tianyue, she took one PTU team member and two bodyguards and began to search around the villa.

If a gangster wants to steal something, he will definitely come to the villa in advance to familiarize himself with the terrain and make a plan of action. If she can find some clues, she may have a chance to disrupt the enemy's actions.

The flashlight shined for more than half an hour. Jiayi, who was searching and thinking, suddenly stopped.

When the several PTU police officers and bodyguards behind saw her stop, they also stopped. Their eyes, waiting for new instructions, all fell on Jiayi's face.

Unknowingly, they all followed Officer Yi.

In the past few days, Jiayi has been keeping in touch with everyone in the police force by phone. The Forensic Bureau, the Forensic Department and Sanfu have been delivering the latest news about the murder case to her.

She also got the report content from the Intelligence Bureau from Sir Huang.

Regarding the loss of the three mainlanders, the Intelligence Bureau submitted a self-apology, saying that it was caused by their negligence.

But after integrating the fragmentary information obtained by the Forensic Bureau and Sanfu’s visits, there are actually some profiles about the murderer -

1. The three murderers should have just arrived in Hong Kong not long ago when they were looking for a place to rent in Sham Shui Po. They showed obvious unfamiliarity with the local situation. Later, it was a local who came forward to contact the tenants, but the police have not yet found out who that local person is;

[So, who is this person who helps the mainlanders find a place to rent? 2.

The three men moved gradually from north to south, and did not arrive at the Central area of ​​Hong Kong Island in one go.

Since their target was most likely antiques, why didn't they go directly to Central? Judging from the time and location of the murder... two or three days ago, they were still in Hung Hom, and had not crossed Victoria Bay to Hong Kong Island, which was even farther away from Central. Since the three men had not yet arrived in Central, they had no time to do a terrain survey near the Hu family villa. How could they steal things without checking the terrain?

Surveying the terrain, understanding the living habits of the Hu family, etc., all take time, and it is impossible to do it in one or two days. To do such a big thing, you must try your best to be foolproof. It will take at least a week of careful surveillance and investigation, right? Although those three guys were reckless, at least Pogo didn't seem to be a brainless person. How could he take action without finding out the situation of the Hu family villa? 】

【It's impossible that the mainland guys had already started to survey the Hu family villa, but they lived in Sham Shui Po, which was super far away, and they traveled thousands of miles to Hung Hom to have sex... This doesn't make sense! 】

【So, the biggest possibility is that someone completed the information collection and survey work on behalf of the three mainland guys. Then who was this person? 】

3. Jiayi saw the three murderers in the flow image. Their clothes, conversations, expressions, etc. all revealed their living habits, origins, occupations, etc. Although she couldn't judge their life stories at a glance like Conan and Sherlock Holmes, Jiayi could see that they were not rich people, and they might even have been at the bottom of society.

Can such people get access to antiques worth millions of pounds?

Can they get the news that Hu Dehai bought "Ladies' Silk" at Christie's auction house abroad in time?

[If the three mainlanders couldn't get such news, who told them this news? ]

Jiayi held the flashlight tightly, stood among the natural grass and trees outside the villa, motionless and absorbed in thinking.

The others also accompanied her, not daring to make any noise for fear of disturbing her.

The barriers in the antique circle are very high. People who don’t usually have access to antiques don’t even know the price of these things.

Which collector has the same antique, how much is it worth, where is it auctioned, how to participate in the auction, how to contact the auction house, how many steps are required to sell the antiques in hand? How to certify the authenticity of antiques so that they can be recognized by buyers, and who should be asked to do it? If you want to sell it, how do you contact the seller? Who should you sell these stolen things to? How to trade? How to contact...

How are the three mainland guys going to solve these problems that are extremely difficult for ordinary people?

You can't just find a thief shop to sell this thing.

Also, for something this valuable, anyone can imagine that the wealthy Hu Dehai must have set up many checkpoints to protect it. Not only has he hired a lot of bodyguards, but now the police are also involved in the protection with real guns. Can three mainland guys just snatch it with their fearlessness and ruthlessness?

They must be equipped with very strong firepower - where will the guns come from?

Three people are not enough, there should be more people - who will these people be? Where will they come from?

Jiayi swallowed dryly, took out her mobile phone, and called Mr. Huang again.

The other bodyguards and PTU members who were traveling with her automatically strode in other directions, leaving Jiayi a private space to make a phone call. They monitored the surroundings, turned their backs to her, and dispersed in a protective posture.
