Chapter 376: The Gallery was Robbed

That night, the Space-Time Gallery was completely silent. The moon and stars twinkled in the summer night sky, and the outlines of things could be vaguely seen under the moonlight.

Dahu and his brother Tianliu, who was on night duty today, were resting in the small attic on the second floor.

At this moment, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground came from downstairs, which was particularly harsh in the silent night.

Dahu and Tianliu opened their eyes instantly.

Dahu reached out and pulled the light cord on the wall beside him.

In an instant, the lights on the stairs connecting the second floor and the attic came on.

Without saying a word, the two got up and went downstairs.

The sudden light made the two people who were holding paintings in front of the display wall on the second floor tense up instantly.

The two looked at each other, put down the paintings without saying a word, and ran to the first floor.

Seeing this, Da Hu and Tian Liu hurriedly chased after them.

Da Hu did not forget to turn on the lights on the wall while chasing.

In an instant, the lights in the gallery were bright.

When he chased downstairs, he found that the door of the gallery was open and there were two bicycles parked outside. It was also at this time that he found that there were two people next to the bicycles. With the help of the lights in the gallery, he could vaguely see what they were holding in their hands.

Without time to think, Dahu and Tian Liu reached the cashier counter in a few steps. When they stepped out of the door, the two men who were originally upstairs had already sat on bicycles and rode away in front of them.

With a quick glance, Dahu remembered the profile of one of the men.

Tian Liu took a look at Dahu, took the flashlight in the cashier counter and followed him quietly. He was a reconnaissance soldier, even if he could not catch up with the speed of the bicycle, he could find their lair.

Dahu did not leave, this was to prevent the other party from luring the tiger away from the mountain or having a backup plan.

The other party failed to steal the painting, and the gallery still needed someone to watch over it.

When chasing the man downstairs, Da Hu had already turned on the lights on the first floor. Now that there was no one around, he began to check if there was any damage in the gallery.

He first looked at the lock of the gallery door and found that the lock was open and not broken. He couldn't help but frown. Because the gallery was on duty, the gallery was locked from the inside and the key was in the hands of the person on duty.

Being able to open the padlock through the small gap in the door can only mean that the person who came was a habitual offender in this regard. These habitual offenders often only need a piece of wire to open the lock.

Thinking of this, Dahu's face suddenly changed. He closed the door and came to the cashier. Sure enough, he saw that the locked drawer of the cashier was opened and the money inside was looted.

Today is Saturday, and the next day is a day off. As long as tomorrow comes, sister-in-law and the leader will come to take the money and deposit it. He doesn't know whether the other party happened to break into the house today or planned it in advance, knowing that today is the time when the most money is.

Dahu looked at the cashier carefully again, hoping to find a clue, but there was nothing unusual about the cashier except the opened padlock placed on the side.

He carefully checked the first floor again and counted the number of paintings. Fortunately, no painting was missing.

He raised his eyes again and looked in the direction of the second floor. Finally, he found a new lock to lock the door. He did not move the lock that was originally thrown open. These were all evidence. After making sure that there was no problem here, he went up to the second floor to check.

There were four paintings stacked together on one side of the display wall on the second floor. Next to these four paintings, there was a sculpture with a smooth shape that fell to the ground. The previous sound should be the sound of this sculpture falling to the ground.

He carefully checked the paintings and found that all four paintings were by Shi Tingyu.

Da Hu secretly cursed these people as thieves. It was obvious that they had done their homework. They also knew whose paintings were the most valuable and specifically stole his sister-in-law's paintings.

During this time in the gallery, Da Hu knew the prices of these paintings. These four paintings cost more than 30,000 yuan.

Seeing that the paintings were intact, Da Hu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After the break-in, Da Hu did not dare to close the door and go to the police station. If someone used the same trick to unlock the door while he was away, it would be a loss.

Everything could only wait for Tian Liu to come back.

Tian Liu came back two hours later, and it was already dawn.

The clock on the gallery wall pointed to five o'clock.

Tian Liu ran all the way back. At this time, his body was soaked with sweat. He gasped and said, "Brother Hu, I will go to the nearby police station and report the case on my way back. The police will be here soon."

Da Hu poured him a glass of water, "I'll go find Liu Jin and the others, and ask them to go to the family compound and talk to my sister-in-law."

Tian Liu nodded. He really couldn't run anymore.

Although I usually take exercise with me, I can't catch up with the intensity of training when I was in the army.

Dahu came back soon, and Tian Liu told him about his pursuit of someone.

"The 28-inch bicycle ran too fast. When I chased it, the person was already 20 to 30 meters away. I knew I couldn't catch up, so I could only follow behind. After about 15 minutes, I couldn't see the shadow of the bicycle." "

Based on the pressure marks of the tires, I tracked it to a small river about five kilometers away. There were traces of a ferry in the river. They should have been picked up by someone and left in a small boat, so the clue was cut off."

Dahu nodded, but didn't say anything. Tian Liu felt a little guilty for not catching up with the person.

Dahu patted him on the shoulder, "Let's wait until the police from the police station come over."

Tian Liu perked up and asked about the situation in the store, "Brother Hu, is there anything else missing from our gallery?"

Dahu's face sank, and he pointed to the open drawer at the cashier next to him, "The money inside is gone."

Tian Liu felt his head buzzing. Although he didn't know how much money was inside, there must be more than two thousand.

At this time, two bicycles came to the door of the gallery.

Two police comrades came over.

The two saw Tian Liu, who had reported the case to their police station before.

The police's face was not good, not because of the person who reported the case, but because the case actually occurred in Professor Shi's gallery.

Professor Shi is from their public security system. She just won glory for the country some time ago. Now she is still teaching diligently at the Public Security University. Yet her gallery was robbed. This really shows that she does not take their public security system seriously.

One of the police officers asked about the course of the case. Tian Liu told the story again, and Da Hu supplemented the current situation in the gallery.

The two police officers checked the opened lock and the drawer of the cashier, and went up to the second floor to look at the four stacked paintings.

Da Hu spoke at the right time, "These people came for Professor Shi's paintings. The four paintings that were taken down are all Professor Shi's paintings."

The two police officers were almost furious. This was definitely a premeditated crime. They should have known about the gallery.

The police officer asked how much money was originally in the drawer, and the two only knew a rough estimate.

The police officer did not ask any more questions, but waited for Professor Shi and others to come over.
