I don't want to solve the case when I'm a little policeman.

After everyone greeted each other, Qiao Changling took the initiative to pull Xu Zheng to sit next to him and briefly talked about the case.

It turned out that their Yangzhou detachment had targeted a group of criminal gangs who were stealing antiques from abroad. In fact, it was a return of cultural relics. However, they did not follow formal procedures, and they did not steal the antiques.

After obtaining it through illegal means, they fabricated dozens of identities for the antiques, laundered them, and then returned them to the country.

How to repatriate it is very simple, that is, Chinese people go abroad and buy this antique at a low price at a foreign flea market, and then use the art and purchase receipt to go through customs.

When the antiques return to China, the formalities have been cleared, and then they are sent to auction houses in various places, or they are traded privately in the underground.

Generally speaking, these illegally obtained antiques fall into the hands of wealthy businessmen or government officials, and no one reports them, so the police will not know about them. However, such antiques cost one hundred dollars abroad.

Bring it back to an auction house or trade it to a private owner, and sell it for 1000 million or even [-] million. How much profit will there be?

Therefore, this kind of illegal antique return operation has always existed.

It’s just that it’s difficult for the police to investigate. After all, it’s a cross-border transaction, and some of the antiques are disguised as fake, old, or leather-based. No one can guarantee that the antiques traded domestically were stolen by a wealthy foreign businessman or museum. .

In addition to these, there are also people who disguise domestically counterfeited or unearthed antiques as cultural relics and sell them back.

In short, cultural relics and antiques are difficult to check and deal with.

In addition, domestic laws in this area are also a bit difficult to figure out. For example, smuggling cultural relics from abroad into the country constitutes the crime of smuggling general goods and articles, but does not constitute the crime of smuggling cultural relics. The crime of smuggling cultural relics refers to the crime of smuggling cultural relics from within the country into the country.

This has inadvertently encouraged those gangs that smuggle antiques back into circulation. After all, it is not up to you to decide how much the smuggled cultural relics are worth.

After being caught, the customs began to set the price. Originally, the antique was worth [-] million U.S. dollars abroad. The customs insisted that it was just a handicraft and was worth a hundred U.S. dollars at most.

In addition, it is the first time to participate in smuggling, and the things are so cheap, the smuggler will only be warned or fined.

Of course, this cultural relic must be forcibly turned over to the state.

The case handled by Team Qiao was the illegal repatriation of cultural relics, and the repatriated cultural relics were all genuine. The cultural relics they seized were compared with the prices of cultural relics circulating in the market.

The total amount is no less than 20 billion yuan.

One of the pieces of porcelain is an enamel-colored garlic vase with entwined branches and floral patterns from the official kiln of the Qianlong Emperor. There was a similar type of porcelain in the past, a large bowl, which was auctioned at Christie's for 1.5 million yuan.

Xu Zheng looked at the photos and thought they were beautiful. In addition to the porcelain, there were also some ancient paintings and letters from celebrities. What interested him the most was a jade seal from the Qianlong Dynasty.

He originally thought that each emperor only had one side of jade seal, but Qiao Changling told him that this side of jade seal was one of the 25 sides of Qianlong, and that the emperor had collected 1800 side jade seals in his lifetime.

He is indeed the most playful emperor.

"Detachment Qiao, you are only one person short of arresting the case, right?"

Qiao Changling nodded and shook his head in denial, "Currently, there is only one foreigner in the list of criminal gangs we have found in China. It is not clear whether there are others that we have not found.

As for the criminal gangs that plunder cultural relics, their base is abroad. We can do nothing but leave it to Interpol. "

Xu Zheng was surprised, "A foreigner, a white man, right? Logically speaking, it should be easy to find such a person in Yangzhou City."

Yao Keer pursed her lips, "How can it be so easy? Let's not talk about how difficult it is to find someone. We haven't determined how old this person is and whether he is white or black.

We arrested people early this morning, but missed this foreigner, and he is also one of the main culprits.

No one has seen his real face. This man always wears a mask and a hood when he appears, and all his calls are made through multiple voice changers, so his original voice cannot be identified or located.

We can only determine his height and approximate weight right now.

We didn't find anyone using conventional search methods, otherwise we wouldn't have hired Director Xu, an expert on fugitives. "

Xu Zheng felt a little ashamed. He was able to find the criminal suspect so quickly, most of them with the help of the system, but now he was asked to find a foreigner hiding in Yangzhou City.

He was unsure, "Detachment Qiao, why don't you discuss it first, and I'll take a look at your arrangements for today and look for inspiration."

Qiao Changling naturally had no objection and whispered: "This foreigner has the money they traded. We learned from the interrogation that their transaction was not cash or overseas account transfer.

Rather, they were bartered. Domestic buyers used top-grade jade for the transaction, including the top-grade Laokeng glass imperial green jade, with a total of more than 800 grams of raw material. It is said that one gram in China is worth 50.

In addition to jadeite and mutton-fat jade, they are both top-notch.

They take it overseas and sell it to those wealthy Chinese people, and they can earn at least ten times. If they are processed into finished products, I can't even imagine it. "

Xu Zheng was a little strange, "Since jade and mutton-fat jade are so expensive and are still luxuries, why do buyers still trade these for returned antiques?"

Qiao Changling laughed when he heard this, "Yangzhou has been a wealthy and gentle town since ancient times. With a hundred thousand dollars in wealth, the adopted daughter of thousands of families in Yangzhou rides on a crane to teach music. Planting flowers for ten miles counts as farming. A dream of a wealthy Yangzhou, two Huaihe Rivers are prosperous Wenwenxiang
These are all descriptions of Yangzhou's huge wealth, and it was a famous gathering place for salt merchants in the Qing Dynasty. Even Jia's mother in Dream of Red Mansions once said that their Jia family's wealth was far less than that of Yangzhou salt merchants.

Therefore, many big bosses here are not short of gold, silver and jade, and they like to use antiques as a front. Now that there are fewer and fewer antiques circulating in the country, it is no wonder that they take risks.

Don't look at the fact that we arrested some buyers this time. In fact, they are all agents, and there is no evidence to find the people behind them. "

Xu Zheng had to admire Qiao Changling's knowledge and knowledge, and said with a smile: "So arresting people in this mission is not the most important, but these jade stones, right?"

Qiao Changling nodded, "That is indeed the case, but Xiao Xu, these jade stones are precious and fragile. You should be careful when performing tasks. This thing is worth 5000 million when it is whole. If it is broken, it is probably not worth [-] million."

"Don't worry, I'm here as a consultant this time, and I won't take action." Xu Zheng quickly promised that according to the Qiao detachment, these jade stones are worth more than one billion, and he will definitely not take action.

Next, Qiao detachment and the others held a meeting to continue discussing this foreigner's hiding place. Xu Zheng listened and looked at their arrangements for the day. The police had set up checkpoints at various intersections such as airports, highways, railways, and waterways.

Logically speaking, even if the foreigner disguises himself, wears a 3D hood, or changes his identity, it is possible for him to leave Yangzhou City.

In response to this situation, the Qiao detachment applied to their superiors to set up cards at the airport to focus on checking 185 foreigners. Unfortunately, until now, nothing has been found.

Xu Zheng looked at the only photo of the suspect's back. It was secretly taken by an informant during the transaction. It was not very clear and indeed of little use. The man was wearing a black mask and hood.It's not like stockings that stick to the scalp, and he still has long hair. It's hard to tell from the photo what the shape of his head looks like.

After thinking about it, Xu Zheng thought he could try using a computer 3D scanning program. He took three positioning points on the black hood of the suspect's photo, and then based on the distance between the photo taken and the suspect, the computer could The integral algorithm calculates the size of the suspect's head.

Given the size of the skull, then by enlarging the photo, a 3D skull model can be generated based on the curvature.

Of course, whether he can do it or not, he has to give it a try, but he can't do it himself. He has to find a professional computer 3D modeling expert.

At this time, Qiao Changling answered a phone call, talked for a while, and then told Song Jianchuan, the captain of the serious crime team who was present, that he would go out for a while. Xu Zheng quickly stopped him and said that he could try 3D modeling.

Qiao Changling was not familiar with this aspect. When he heard what Xu Zheng said was complicated, he asked him to contact experts first to see if it could be done, and then told Song Jianchuan to cooperate with Xu Zheng throughout the process.

When Qiao Changling left in a hurry, Xu Zheng and Song Jianchuan looked at each other, smiled and greeted each other.

Xu Zheng waited until Song Jianchuan sat down and drew a sketch for him, including the photographer and the suspect, "Team Song, this is it. I want you to send someone to find the person who took this photo and measure him at that time. How far away from the suspect were you standing when the photo was taken.

There is also an approximate height of the camera, preferably the error should not exceed one centimeter.

With this data, the size and shape of the suspect's skull can be measured, and the next step is computer 3D skull modeling."

When Xu Zheng finished talking about his method, Song Jianchuan and the investigators present were all confused. They had heard of this kind of 3D modeling, but it was calculated using triple integrals of advanced mathematics.

They all shook their heads, not understanding, not even when they were in school.

But there was no problem if he didn't understand. Song Jianchuan directly ordered his two subordinates to take the informant to measure the data.

Xu Zheng didn't wait long. In less than 15 minutes, a piece of data measured with a laser measuring instrument was placed in front of him. Once he had the data, he passed the data to Liu Linlin in Shanghai.

Please ask her to find those simulation portrait artists in the Magic City.

Different from Xu Zheng, these simulation portrait artists in Magic City not only have certain abilities in simulation portraits, but are also proficient in the use of computer graphics and 3D modeling programs.

When the 30-year-old eldest sister heard that it was Xu Zheng asking for help, she directly accepted the task. Within half an hour, she sent a 3D skull photo to Xu Zheng on WeChat.

It also comes with a voice, "Director Xu, we have calculated it many times and the accuracy of this picture is as high as 78%. You are a master at simulating portraits. I did not use a computer to generate the original image.

If you are inconvenient, I can help, it only takes a few minutes. "

Xu Zheng immediately sent her a message of thanks and asked her to send another computer-generated original image. Putting down his phone, he found paper and pen, pointed it at the 3D skull, and in 5 minutes he drew a face of a foreign white man.

The elder sister from Shanghai was more efficient and sent a photo 2 minutes earlier.

When comparing the two photos, the error is almost zero, except that there is no coloring on the picture drawn by Xu Zheng.

Others were astonished and looked at the two photos, not sure that this was the real suspect.

But Xu Zheng, looking at the photo in his hand, was extremely shocked.

Unexpectedly, this foreigner turned out to be an acquaintance. Two years ago, he had arrested an international S-class wanted criminal named Jason Doug. He had passports from multiple countries. Interpol could not find out which country he was from. clear.

He was arrested because of an antique painting back then. Unexpectedly, he met this person because of the antique painting this time.

But what Xu Zheng found strange was that after catching this Jason two years ago, he was escorted away by people from the provincial department and handed over to Interpol. Unexpectedly, this man was actually released from prison in just a short time. .

Isn't he an international S-class wanted criminal?

Is it a jailbreak?
Or did the boss behind him spend money on him?
It's a pity that Xu Zheng has never been in contact with Interpol and doesn't know what the outside world is like. However, it can be seen from Jason Doug that there should not be many people abroad who abide by the law.

Others took Jason Doug's photo and checked it on the Interpol website and found that this person was not an internationally wanted criminal. They immediately started muttering, thinking that this person was Xu Zheng by mistake.

Otherwise, this person has a clean record abroad and has no previous criminal record.

Or just have a new identity.
Xu Zheng also noticed this situation. He took the photo and started thinking about it. The main reason why he was able to draw a photo of Jason Doug this time was by measuring the size of his skull.

There are definitely errors, but they are not big. The computer-generated photo is also slightly different from Jason Doug two years ago, but it can be recognized as him.

The resulting photo shows that Jason Doug is no longer an S-class wanted criminal, which means that he has changed his identity again, or his identity has been cleared, or there is even a possibility.

He had plastic surgery before coming to the flower country this time.

Xu Zheng was thinking deeply. The main reason why he was able to catch Jason Doug two years ago was because of the simulation portrait he made, which showed what Jason Doug looked like.

So if Jason Doug knew the main reason why he was arrested, he would definitely feel that plastic surgery alone was not enough, so he put on this black hood mask.

"Director Xu, what are you thinking about?" Song Jianchuan interrupted Xu Zheng's thinking, "I just checked and found that the person in this photo has no entry record, and there is no activity track of this person on the Sky Eye system. .

Also, this person is not included in the international wanted notice.

You see, is this a mistake in computer modeling? "

Xu Zheng shook his head inwardly. There was something in Captain Song's words. He probably wanted to say whether he had made a mistake. He looked at the others. Apart from Long Chuchu, who was trusting him, even Yao Ker was suspicious.

"This photo was generated by a computer program based on skull data, so the photo is his original appearance. Maybe he came to China after plastic surgery, or maybe he was smuggled in when he came here.

In short, the computer has errors, but it will not make mistakes.

Well, my method is not wrong either! "

After a pause, he pointed to the photo and said: "I personally caught this man two years ago. He is an international S-class wanted criminal. He also has an identity, that is, an international cultural relics thief.

The specific case involves the principle of confidentiality. As long as you know that he has come to China to commit crimes. "
