Chapter eight hundred and thirty fifth unfinished oil painting

Hong Kong's "one-day tour" has gained a lot, and Qian Dayong is very excited, but the crackdown on "poul-dominated market" is a top secret, and he can only sit in the back row and enjoy it secretly. .

Ding Xinqiang has gained a lot, at least the suspicion of the deceased husband Lin Guosheng. However, since it was discovered that Lu Lu was killed in the community where he rented it, the investigation work has not progressed for a long time, and he is both anxious and depressed and even a little depressed.

He leaned listlessly against the car window and called Xue Siyu, deputy director of the branch's criminal investigation, to inform him of what he learned in Hong Kong in the afternoon.

"Lin Guosheng was shocked when he saw the photos of the deceased. He should have not known it in advance, and it didn't look like he pretended. He said that he had a very open relationship with Lu Lu, not very nervous. He insisted that Lu Lu's murder had nothing to do with him, and that there was absent, and he was willing to accept a lie test in order to prove his innocence..."

Xue Siyu and Huang Jianfeng, the captain of the criminal police, looked at each other and asked: "Ding Da, since he knows that Lu Lu is not a good woman, why don't he get divorced? Are you just worried that Lu Lu will embarrass him when she goes to Hong Kong to make trouble?"

"There is a reason for this. Although he didn't say it clearly, he could tell from his words that he had another concern. His factory in the mainland with his friends was not good and closed at the end of last year. There are three stores in Hong Kong, all of which are operated by clothing, one is managed by his daughter and two are managed by his son. The scale is not large, and it is more of a clothing stall than a clothing store."

"He's not a big boss?"

"I can't be considered a big boss. Because I'm not very rich, I'm worried that if I file for divorce, Lu Lu will justify asking for the division of property. Although Lu Lu did not give birth to him, he was his legal wife after all. If he really went to court, the judge would definitely give Lu Lu some more or less."

"He didn't want to give a single point, so he chose to escape?"

"He knew it was not a problem to drag on it, so he made a lot of preparations, such as transferring three stores and real estate to his children's names, and probably gave the deposits to his family. He no longer cared about business matters, and drank tea or fished with a group of old Hong Kong men all day long."

...

Ding Xinqiang's tone was a little disappointed. I guess Xue Siyu on the other end of the phone was not in much better mood.

Han Bo can understand their feelings. Several provinces such as Nanhe have clearly proposed that "the murder case must be solved". The current murder case resolution rate is 99.9% or even 100%. It can be said that the murder case resolution rate has become an evaluation criterion for measuring whether a city's public security bureau has any achievements.

Where is Shenzheng? It is a window for reform and opening up, a special economic zone, and a planned city that is more valued by the central government than ordinary sub-provincial cities!

The rate of murder case solving cannot be increased. Mainland cities, especially public security bureaus in economically underdeveloped areas, can be said that the case handling funds are tight and the police force is seriously insufficient. Can the Shenzhen Municipal Bureau find such an excuse?

The answer is no, obviously not.

You need to give you a level, and you need to prepare a level. If the special political and legal team is not enough, it can even exceed the post. Many police officers who have joined the police in recent years have participated in public management. Compared with the population base of tens of millions, although the case handling funds are still tight, they are much more abundant than those of the brother municipal bureaus in internal provinces.

Not to mention anything else, the instruments and equipment for inspection and identification of the Technical Department of the Criminal Investigation Bureau are relatively advanced internationally.

If this cannot be solved, if there are several more murder cases that cannot be solved in the second half of the year, the municipal bureau will not only not be comparable to the brother municipal bureaus of other provinces and cities in terms of the current murder case resolution rate, but it will not even reach the 80% "pass line" required by the Ministry of Public Security!

A look can cover up a hundred ugly things, and a look can also cover a hundred beautiful things.

Life is at stake. If you can’t do a good job in murder case investigation, your superiors will not care about how many other criminal cases you have solved or how many other tasks you have done. The Bureau of the Customs and Administration may be embarrassed to mention "shenzheng ID" when going to the provincial department or even the Ministry of Public Security for meetings, and I am embarrassed to mention the "backpack spirit" of "shenzheng ID".

As the deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, Han Bo was also under pressure. After a moment of silence, he suddenly opened his eyes: "Ding Da, notify the murder squadron to investigate the scene again in the evening, so that the comrades can go there first, and we will meet at the scene later."

"Yes." Ding Xinqiang picked up his phone and couldn't help asking: "Director Han, do you want to notify the branch?"

"There is so much work in the branch office. Director Xue cannot pay attention to a case and notify the serious case squadron and the front-line police officers responsible for the investigation will go."

"OK."

Before he knew it, the business car had already entered Shenzheng City. Han Bo looked at the long line outside waiting for the pass. He was about to call his wife and told her that he might have to go back later today. The phone suddenly rang and Guan Xingwei called.

"Brother, where is the location? Have you gone back?"

"I'm back, I've just passed the test." Work is work, life is life, Han Bo distinguished clearly, adjusted his mood, and asked half-jokingly: "I know I didn't show up when I went there, and I had been hiding for a whole day. Are you feeling uneasy and going to treat me to supper?"

"Who is hiding from you? I'm very busy, okay? Besides, I'm about to change jobs, can I avoid suspicion?"

Guan Xingwei put the carton full of personal belongings on the hood of the car, pressed the remote control, opened the back door of the car, and subconsciously touched the Bluetooth headphones, held the car door and smiled: "I just called and asked, don't say you have gone back, even if you haven't returned, there is no time to invite you to dinner. There is an event in the evening, so I plan to take Asian men to join in the fun."

"What activity?" Han Bo asked curiously.

"Charity dinner, have a meal first, and there will be a charity auction after dinner. The invitation letters given by the new boss are all social wise men. It seems that there are big stars. Do you need to help you with their signature?"

Charity dinners and charity auctions are really new in the mainland, and can be called a brand new "imported product", but they are very popular in Western countries and international metropolises like Hong Kong. They can be said to be a social way of the upper class.

Although the old Han family has some money, Han Bo never thinks he is an upper class person. He is not very interested in these things. He is even older than the age of chasing stars. He can't help but joke: "Is this a show-off? Does it mean that you, Guan Xingwei, enter the upper class and become an upper class person from now on?"

"Am I qualified to show off? The main reason is that Asian men want to go and see celebrities join in the fun, but I am quite interested in art auctions."

There is no fuel-efficient lamp that can get into the Superintendent of the Hong Kong Police Force, and it is not something that ordinary people can do to jump from the police force to the popular HKMA.

"Brother-in-law" is not a little bit of a ghost. Han Bo doesn't think that he was just showing off to himself. He asked thoughtfully: "What does the auction of artworks mean? If you don't do anything about your position, you are no longer a policeman."

"Big Brother" is indeed amazing, and I suddenly heard the implication.

Guan Xingwei stuffed the carton into the car and got into the cab and said as if nothing had happened: "The Times conducted a large-scale questionnaire survey the year before yesterday, with 1.4 million valid questionnaires. None of the 200 greatest artists of the 200th century was selected in China and 4 were selected in Japan. However, the price of works by Chinese artists is 10 times that of Japanese artists. Isn't this very abnormal?"

He specializes in "anti-money laundering" and has worked for more than ten years, so he has a say in this issue.

Han Bo habitually touched his nose and whispered: "Summary."

"If I were to list the list of artists who could easily become money laundering tools, I would include all artists whose market prices exceed 1 million yuan or Hong Kong dollars, including contemporary artists and modern Chinese painting masters. This list is at least 100 people."

"painting?"

"Paintings are easy to carry and easy to launder money, while sculptures, especially large sculptures, are not that convenient. Public reports show that a mainland artist wants to sell 13 large sculptures in Canada, and the price has dropped from 5 million yuan to 1.5 million yuan, but his oil paintings can be sold at a sky-high price of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong!"

Artwork has many characteristics, which determines that it is suitable for money laundering.

First of all, there is no authoritative organization or valuation standard for value recognition, so it can easily be speculated at sky-high prices. A guy in China imitated a "golden jade dress" and was evaluated by several well-known industry experts as 2.4 billion yuan. If the buyer had not been investigated for fraud, who could have overturned the valuation of those five top experts?

In China, the price of artwork depends entirely on how much money the buyer is willing to pay, so the price is easy to manipulate. Some time ago, a painting was just taken, and the company controlled by the buyer used it as collateral and collected 450 million yuan of trust funds.

The second is that the sky-high price of art transactions are opaque!

To launder money, ordinary art must be priced at sky-high prices. The domestic Auction Law stipulates that auction companies have the right to keep the real information of buyers and sellers confidential. The Anti-Money Laundering Law mainly monitors large-scale transactions and suspicious transactions of financial institutions, but does not involve investigating suspicious sky-high art transactions, leaving a regulatory gap.

Furthermore, artworks are easy to transnationally trade and transfer.

The artworks used for money laundering in China are mainly oil paintings, Chinese paintings, which are easy to carry and transfer, and are easy to carry out more concealed cross-border manipulation, and some artists' works are speculated from more than 100,000 yuan to tens of millions of yuan in two or three years. Not long ago, a well-known domestic painter was involved in a tax check storm and revealed that he controlled the price of his works at an auction in New York.

It's hard not to doubt who is his boss and who is the one who is the one who is playing the game for?

But Han Bo is not concerned with money laundering for art now, but about a previously overlooked detail in the murder case of Lu Lu. There was an oil painting in the corner of the balcony of the crime scene. The one placed against the wall was not a print, but a hand-painted one, and it was not finished or framed.

Lu Lu is obviously not a painter, and it is unlikely that she has such a noble hobby.

Who painted that painting, how did it appear on the scene, and what is the relationship between the person who painted the oil painting and the deceased?
