A painting?
Bai Mo suddenly became interested. As a painter, he showed a strong desire for knowledge, and all his previous worries were put aside.
Seeing Bai Mo's shining eyes, Lu Wan smiled knowingly, as if he had known that Bai Mo would behave like this.
"The information was given by Luo Yan. It is a painting by the ancient Tang Dynasty. It is said that the ancient tomb is well preserved and the painting is not damaged in any way." Lu Wan said, "No one knows what is in the painting."
Bai Mo nodded thoughtfully, "If it is really a painting by Master Tang, he loved painting beauties most, and it is probably a portrait of a beauty."
"Guo Meng thinks so too." Lu Wan nodded approvingly, "I didn't expect you to know much about our ancient paintings?"
"Didn't my dad tell you?" Bai Mo curled his lips dissatisfied, "I had been studying traditional ink painting before going abroad. It was because there was no room for improvement that I went abroad to learn other painting techniques."
Lu Wan nodded again, and she did not ask further.
If Lu Wan guessed correctly, Bai Mo's mother had just died in those years, and painting was his way of self-healing. He must have spent all his time painting.
Lu Wan's eyes were filled with tenderness like a loving mother: "So! In order to protect the Tang family's paintings, would you please put aside your differences and work on the case together, please?"
Listening to Lu Wan's coaxing tone, Bai Mo nodded in confusion.
Back in the conference room, Bai Mo no longer kept a straight face. He began to carefully observe the architectural drawings of the Meidong Building on the big screen.
Meidong Entertainment City is a landmark building in Shangcheng District, located on the seaside. The entire building looks like a luxury cruise ship, hence the name Meidong.
The interior of the building is also similar to the structure of a cruise ship. The underwater cabin is on the ground floor and is a luxurious private club called "Deep Sea".
There are six floors on the deck. The top floor is the hotel. The second to fifth floors include catering, entertainment and other items. The overall consumption is very high.
Private clubs and hotels are almost always renewed by guests for a long period of time, and the investigation basically excludes the possibility of transactions there.
Guo Meng believes that there are two most likely trading locations, one is a teahouse on the third floor and the other is a coffee shop on the fifth floor.
Both places have private rooms, which are perfect for transactions.
"The teahouse is more likely." Lu Wan analyzed, "Li Gui's gang are outsiders, and the transaction location must have been chosen by the buyer. The buyer likes cultural relics, which shows that he loves traditional culture, so he should choose the teahouse."
Before Guo Meng could answer, Xiao Wu came over.
Xiao Wu came to the computer and said, "Group Guo, there are seven private rooms in the teahouse. Four of them have been reserved. Three of them are regular guests. The remaining one was booked yesterday by a local named Han Lu."
Lu Wan and Bai Mo glanced at Guo Meng who looked serious at the same time. They didn't expect Guo Meng to be so vigorous and resolute. Lu Wan just said that the teahouse was more likely, but Guo Meng directly investigated.
A picture of a man appeared on the big screen.
Han Lu, male, 27 years old, from Meihai City, studied abroad after graduating from high school and studied at a university of finance and economics in the United States. After returning to China, he opened a financial company in Meihai City with a sum of funds. Its main business was stock trading as an agency.
"It's just Ma Tsai." Guo Meng whispered, "An international student who is still engaged in finance is unlikely to like drinking tea. It is the National Day holiday, which is not the time to maintain customers. He has no reason to book a private room in a teahouse. "
Bai Mo's view of Guo Meng gradually changed. He could see that Guo Meng's thinking was very clear. No wonder he was often appointed as the leader of the task force.
"Do you want to install monitoring equipment?" Xiao Wu asked.
Guo Meng shook his head, "Li Gui is very cautious. He will definitely check before the transaction, book the private rooms next door, and monitor the walls. Arrange people to go to the site to check the surveillance outside the private rooms. If the angle is not good, add a few temporarily. "
Taking out a cigarette and lighting it, Guo Meng asked again: "Where's the coffee shop?"
"None of the five private rooms have been booked." Xiao Wu replied.
"Then book all five private rooms and don't give them the chance to go to the coffee shop." Guo Meng waved his hand, and Xiao Wu quickly switched the screen to the architectural drawing, "Don't let up on the shops I just mentioned. , we all need to keep a close eye on them.”
Next came the detailed division of labor. Guo Meng went over all possible scenarios and formulated seven alternative plans, which lasted until one o'clock in the morning.
Regarding Guo Meng's arrangements, Bai Mo had only one comment - meticulous! It can be said that it is meticulous!
He originally thought that Lu Wan was the most comprehensive person he had ever seen in investigating a case, but Guo Meng was even more comprehensive.
What shocked Bai Mo was that in order to prevent internal leakage of information, Guo Meng asked everyone to stay in the police station to supervise each other. It was not just the people in the police station that he was wary of, but even his own people were within the scope of supervision.
"Aren't the leaders from the provincial department too cautious?" Zeng Hao muttered. At this moment, everyone in the team was in the office except Chen Xiaoxiao and Sun Xiaokai who were out.
"He and Li Gui fought three times, and the result was more than just a failure." Lu Wan sighed, "Every time he failed, it also meant that his special love failed. When he failed for the third time, Guo Meng realized the problem and discovered that his subordinates There is a mole.
Luo Yan has always been Guo Meng's single line of contact. After confirming the transaction this time, Guo Meng began to let his subordinates supervise each other. He did this to ensure Luo Yan's safety. "
No wonder Guo Meng is so cautious!
At this moment, Bai Mo suddenly remembered what Lu Wan had mentioned. Three special characters had died at the hands of Li Gui's gang. It turned out that these three special characters were Guo Meng's people.
······
The next morning, Bai Mo went to the conference room early in the morning. The person who went to the conference room with him was Lu Wan.
This is also Guo Meng's request. No matter where he goes, he needs to be accompanied by someone.
Guo Meng was still sitting on the chair from yesterday. The ashtray at hand was already filled. He was picking up a bun and stuffing it into his mouth.
"Huh?" Seeing Lu Wan and Bai Mo come in, Guo Meng raised his chin towards Lu Wan and motioned for them to eat the breakfast placed on the long table.
"In such a good mood?" Lu Wan sat down and picked up a glass of soy milk.
"Although your people are not very sensible, they didn't refuse to stay and cooperate with the work last night, which is very good." Guo Meng gave a rare compliment.
Lu Wan smiled angrily. Just as she inserted the straw into the soy milk cup, a "dong dong dong" sound suddenly sounded in the conference room.
There was a knock on the door, and it came through an electronic device.
Guo Meng quickly put down the unfinished buns and said loudly: "Turn up the sound."
Then Guo Meng made a silent gesture to Lu Wan and Bai Mo, lowered his voice and said, "I contacted Chen Xiaoxiao yesterday evening and sent a monitor to her."
Bai Mo and Lu Wan were stunned at the same time. They had no idea about this matter. Although Chen Xiaoxiao might be monitored, Chen Xiaoxiao could send messages from blind spots, but Chen Xiaoxiao did not tell them.
"I'm not allowed to say it." Guo Meng's voice was still very low, for fear of missing the monitored content, "I'm used to doing some things in separate areas."
At this time, Bai Mo heard the sound of the door opening, and then Chen Xiaoxiao spoke.
"What are you doing here?" This was Chen Xiaoxiao's voice.
"Hey hey hey! I need to confirm something with you." This was a man's voice.
Hearing this voice, Bai Mo's heart tightened and he said in a deep voice, "It's Li Chuang!"
