Chapter 54: Help
The museum was robbed due to its own poor protection, so they had to agree to the request of the three jewelers, but a large number of people were placed around the exhibition hall to prevent someone from going crazy and robbing during the day.
Due to the resumption of jewelry exhibitions, a large number of models were rehired to wear various jewelry on the catwalk and display.
The 77 Diamond Company and the New York jeweler Ryan Diamond have a lot of money, and for them, the piece of jewelry that was lost last week was not a drop in the bucket for their entire fortune. West, this time it was not easy for him to take out two top jewels that could crush the two major jewelers in one go, not to mention that he also borrowed the Derry gems from the Natural History Museum in London through his relationship, and it should be very painful for him to lose three jewels at once.
But people in Scott? West's face didn't show anything unusual, only he was smiling and laughing in the crowd. Someone couldn't help but ask the question, Scott? West was a little glad to give an explanation at this time.
It turned out that he had bought two insurance policies from the insurance company before the jewelry show began, so the two gems that belonged to him were robbed, and there was not much damage to him, because after a while, after the insurance company verified, they would pay him these two insurances.
As for the Derry gems, which originally belonged to the Natural History Museum in London, the original Scott? West also advocated for an insurance policy for a lifetime, but the gem did not belong to him, and he could not have bought such a large amount of insurance alone without the consent of the Natural History Museum in London.
And this reasonable request was rejected at the Natural History Museum in London, they originally did not agree to go out to lend the gem, it was Scott West who forcibly borrowed the gem through a connection they could not refuse, so once the gem happened, it was natural for Scott West to pay for it in full. Of course, he can also not borrow this gem.
For some ulterior motive, Scott West forcibly lent the gem out without insurance. And now, it's time for the people at the Natural History Museum in London to ask him for a debt.
Of course, Scott West didn't introduce these things to everyone, and there was no worry on his face.
When Beckett came to the side hall, Scott West had just finished telling everyone about these things, and Ling Xiao told Beckett and Esposito, who had come to investigate the case, as an interesting story.
"Oh! So, Mr. West doesn't have much to lose, right? Beckett looked at Scott West with some scrutiny in his eyes, which was very different from what they were now holding.
Ling Xiao smiled lightly and said, "Actually, it's not just him, the other two people's losses are not as big as they imagined, they also insured the gems on display according to the usual practice, but this amount is not as big as West's." ”
"I see." Beckett's lack of understanding of the industry has made Beckett almost miss a big motive, and things like cheating insurance are not only found in homicide and arson cases. However, she quickly turned her head to look at Ling Xiao and asked curiously, "Speaking of Ling, why are you here?" ”
"Oh, I'm here to do beauty for my clients." Ling Xiao pointed to Michaela Baines, who was standing near the backstage. smiled at Beckett and said, "This is also a job with an account." ”
"Is that the big star Michaela Baines?" Esposito looked at the direction of Ling Xiao's finger and opened his mouth wide in surprise.
"yes, how about it, Javier, do you need me to introduce you to each other?" Ling Xiao looked at Esposito and raised his eyebrows slightly, making an expression that a man understands.
"Oh, this?" Esposito was about to agree, but suddenly saw Beckett's iron-blue face, quickly shook his head, and said, "Let's talk about this later, I'm working now." ”
"Work?" Ling Xiao frowned slightly, and said, "Isn't this case investigated by the State Bureau of Investigation, how did it get into your hands?" ”
"We've formed a joint investigation team with the State Bureau of Investigation, you just need to know about it, don't reveal it to the public." Beckett groaned slightly, but still told Ling Xiao what had happened.
Sure enough, Ling Xiao's face sank slightly, and he was a little aware of it as soon as he saw Beckett appear here just now. Ling Xiao had already heard that it was Beckett who was in charge of investigating the murder of the Boss in Black, and now that she appeared in this place, it was obvious that they had linked the two cases together, and it could even be said that they had figured out the general context of the whole thing.
Ling Xiao has a deep understanding of Beckett, this girl can go from a patrol officer to a detective in a few years, and even the leader of a team, which is extremely rare at her age, and her ability can also be seen.
The change in the expression on Ling Xiao's face didn't hide from Beckett, but she thought he was worried about herself, after all, this case was really eye-catching. In the entire history of the American continent, it is rare to rob a museum with such open fire, and it is not easy to solve this case.
"Don't worry, after all, this case has the state bureau of investigation in front of us, and even if the public wants to blame it, it can't blame us." Beckett explained a little, looked at Esposito on the side, and said in a low voice: "Okay, Javier, you go to another place, I have something to say to Ling Xiao." ”
"Okay, I got it!" Espositor nodded and left without the slightest hesitation, he also knew about the relationship between Ling Xiao and Beckett, and even when Becketto Ling Xiao investigated the murder of her mother, he also knew something, but only knew about it.
Seeing Esposito walking away, Ling Xiao pulled Beckett to a no-man's corner, and said in a low voice: "Kate, I've been looking for you all this time, and you haven't replied to several text messages. ”
"What, there's a clue to that matter?" Beckett had actually seen the text message sent by Ling Xiao, but because he was busy with the two cases in his hand, he didn't reply to Ling Xiao.
"Hmm!" Ling Xiao nodded lightly and said, "Although some things have been found, the results are not very ideal. Sometime you can come to the store and I'll tell you what I got it. ”
"Okay." Beckett didn't ask Ling Xiao on the spot how he had found this, this matter had been delayed for more than ten years anyway, and it wasn't bad for a while. As soon as the wind changed, Beckett lowered his voice and said to Ling Xiao: "Ling, I need you to help me secretly investigate some clues about this case. About the whereabouts of the jewelry, the whereabouts of the robbers, everything in between. ”
Hearing Beckett's request, Ling Xiao smiled helplessly and said, "My dear Catherine, aren't you embarrassing me, something like this is something that a little person like me can inquire about." Let's put it this way, the level I am exposed to is not at the same level as the other people's level. ”
Beckett shook his head lightly and said, "I don't ask for it, I just ask you to help me keep an eye on some of the connections in the Chinese gang." After all, if there is really such a group of strongmen in their own territory, it is impossible for the Chinese gangsters not to know, and in addition, there is an underground stolen goods network, and those few jewels are so famous, there will be no news coming out. ”
"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you." Ling Xiao nodded helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "But don't expect too much, this kind of thing depends more on luck." Truth be told, you might as well check out Mr. West, who is not a simple man! ”
