Peter interrogated Seaman in the conference room. After about ten minutes, it seemed to have achieved results. Peter stood up and left the conference room, while Seaman lowered his head, holding his hair with both hands, looking frustrated.
Peter came to Jones and handed him a note: "Jones, apply for a warrant to arrest Seaman's roommate, who works as a waiter in a restaurant."
Jones took the note, then stood up, picked up the suit hanging on the back of the chair, and walked to the elevator.
Peter picked up the phone and walked upstairs while dialing, "Diane, what's going on with Parker?" "Continue to follow, we're going to take them down together."
Peter hung up the phone and came to the door of the office. Just as he was about to go in, he suddenly stopped. He turned around and called "Jimmy", hooked his hands, and then entered the office.
Jimmy had actually turned around and looked at Peter and Jones when they were arranging tasks. Now he saw Peter calling him and rushing upstairs. It was too boring to stare at the computer screen in a daze. It was a good thing to have tasks.
Jimmy: "Peter, what's going on?"
Peter: "Seaman has already confessed that it was Parker who arranged for him to steal the paintings. The two people who did it were caught first, and Parker will take care of the rest."
Jimmy: "Okay, so what do I do?"
Peter: "You don't need to do anything for now, but now that the basic clues are in place, can you figure out what happened?"
Jimmy: "A surprise exam? Okay, let me think about it."
Jimmy thought about it and said, "I can probably figure it out, but I still have some questions.
Parker found Rachel. Rachel was already well-known in Paris, so it would definitely be beneficial to open a personal exhibition in New York. It would make her famous. If it could be sold at a high price, it would also be beneficial to her worth.
After the exhibition started, Parker arranged for Seaman to steal the paintings. Because it was inconvenient for Seaman to transport the paintings alone, he enlisted his roommates to carry out the theft at 1 a.m. because they knew that there were no cameras outside the gallery and only two cameras inside. , so the whereabouts will not be leaked.
And Seaman has the key to the gallery, so we thought someone picked the lock before, but now it looks like a mole just opened the door and came in.
They put the painting in the room of Seaman's roommate, probably because our investigation shocked Seaman, and he contacted Parker. After Parker met with him, he arranged for Seaman to move the painting to the mini warehouse. Then we caught him when he was about to move.
What I don’t understand is why Parker did this. For him, the gallery is labeled as unsafe and it will be very troublesome to do business in the future. "
Peter: "You missed one person, Rachel. This embarrassment was probably a plan jointly formulated by Rachel and Parker. Don't understand? The best way for a painter, especially a slightly famous one, to become famous is for someone to buy it at a high price. His own paintings. Secondly, there are art thieves targeting his own paintings, which can also increase his reputation from the side.
In this incident, it is very likely that Rachel will gain fame and compensation, while Parker will receive cash compensation from the insurance company. Through their cooperation, this theft can be made into a headless hanging, so that it can be privately publicized to the outside world that a thief has taken a fancy to Rachel's painting. You can understand it. "
….
Jimmy nodded. He really hadn't thought about the benefits that Rachel could get.
Peter: "I just got some scattered information from Seaman, which has not been confirmed yet. Seaman said that Rachel once sold a single painting in Paris for more than 50,000 euros. If they really succeed this time, they may sell it. Rachel’s solo exhibition should be worth six figures.”
Jimmy nodded, "Are we going to arrest Rachel now?"
Peter: "No, we need to capture Parker first, but we can't capture Parker with Seaman's confession. After Jones is done with it, we will go fishing."
Jimmy: "Are you asking Seaman to take the painting and notify Parker to go to the warehouse?"
Peter: "Well, it seems you still think a lot. When did you think there was something wrong with Parker?"
Jimmy: "We confirmed that there was Parker in the photo and that he noticed something unusual when he returned to New York early. What did I do?
It is suspected that Parker never left New York at all. "
[To be honest, I have been using @@ recently to read and catch up on updates. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. It can be used on both Android and Apple. 】
Peter: "Go on."
Jimmy: "When Jones contacted Parker before during the investigation, Parker only said that he was out of town, but he met with Seaman in advance yesterday. Assuming that he was out of town, it would be very troublesome to come back early regardless of the mode of transportation. If we By catching him, we can further confirm his time. If he insists that he did not come back, then the photos I took are evidence, and it is certain that he committed perjury."
Peter: "Anything else?"
Jimmy: "No, I haven't done many projects, and this is my first project for this kind of art. I really don't have much experience."
Peter: "Well, you go out first, and you can come with us when we fish later."
Jimmy turned and left Peter's office. Seaman was still in the conference room, but he probably wouldn't escape.
Jones came back soon, and Seaman's roommate had been locked up. When Peter saw Jones coming back, he took Seaman downstairs with him. Peter drove himself, while Jimmy and Jones drove the surveillance car and took Seaman and Hua to the agreed place. storehouse.
Seaman had already obtained the key, and Jones had installed cameras and bugs inside and outside the warehouse. Seaman called Parker and asked him to come to the warehouse to inspect and hand over the goods.
Peter, Jones and Jimmy parked their cars far away, waiting for Parker to arrive. Diana had already been notified by Peter in advance. When Parker came to the warehouse, she followed him and parked the car. Next to the surveillance vehicle.
Diana entered the surveillance car, Peter and Jones were listening with headphones, and Jimmy was still sitting next to the back door playing with the revolver.
Peter: "The target has entered the warehouse, Diana, Jimmy, set off and wait for the order to arrest."
Jimmy, Diana: "Got it."
The two left the surveillance vehicle and walked towards the warehouse. Parker had already entered the warehouse. Jimmy and Diana came to a place not far from the warehouse from the side, waiting for Peter to give orders on the intercom.
"superior."
Jimmy drew his gun and ran ahead, with Diana following behind.
"FBI, don't move, put down the painting in your hand." Jimmy started shouting as soon as he entered the warehouse door. Parker was holding a painting in his hand, so he couldn't let him drop it because it would be hard to explain later.
When Parker saw the two FBI pointing guns at him and Seaman, he had no choice but to admit defeat. Jimmy took out two handcuffs from behind his belt. One of them was asked for by Diana in advance. It must be a man to torture someone. Went up.
Finally, it was done. Peter and Jones drove the car over, put Parker and Seaman in the back seat, and Hua also took back the surveillance vehicle. They could finally return to Federal Plaza with peace of mind.
