Serif is a very famous person.
But no matter how famous he is, his popularity is only limited to certain special circles.
In the FBI files, Serif's intelligence level is not much lower than Antonis. This is not due to the risk factor, but simply refers to the degree of difficulty.
For example, just like the information that Ah K retrieved before, Serifu has a rich and brilliant criminal history of theft, but at the same time, there has never been any evidence that he was caught. The police are even 100% sure that he is the perpetrator of the theft cases... After all, there are not many people who can appear in the cameras at the crime scene every time, and smile and nod to the camera before the case appears... But even if In this way, people still cannot convict him.
Serif had alibi, and no clues were found at the crime scene that could be used to prove his identity. Even the stolen goods could not be found... People insist that those "presences" are coincidences. How can you still force him to do so? He admitted that he had done bad things
A high-tech criminal is not scary, but a criminal who can be so blatantly arrogant and still live an aboveboard and humiliating life in the teeth of everyone is no longer simply cunning and scary.
... Based on the above reasons, although the FBI already hates Serif with all their teeth, they still cannot initiate any action similar to a wanted arrest for him, otherwise it will violate the personal rights of "law-abiding citizens".
It is precisely because Serif's record is so "innocent", and because he is really a smart, generous and polite young man... If it were not for his good superficial upbringing, Serif's nickname would not be the "gentleman" he is now. ", but something like the "White Glove Crazy"... So in Serif's life or journey, as long as he is willing, he can usually quickly gain the favor of other people, and his popularity is almost as good as Brother Shuang in movie king mode.
So based on the above, when Ye Shuang took Su Zheng to the hotel where Serif was staying, what he saw was the scene of him having a happy conversation with a French foreigner...
"I really hope I'm not late." Howard sat down directly in front of Ye Shuang and Ye Shuang with his coat open, took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket and swiped casually with his fat fingers: "Oh, the one with flaxen hair? He He really doesn’t look like a professional thief, and most people would probably just think that Serif is a harmless and shy young man.”
"Beast in clothes!" Su Zheng gritted his teeth and wanted to break the cup in his hand: "It is this kind of person who looks glamorous but is actually full of evil and despicable. He is simply the representative of a shameless villain!"
Ye Shuang, who had just translated Howard's speech for Su Zheng, comforted: "You can't say that. Let's not say that he and you are still traveling together, but you are also using a map cannon to smash yourself in... Even if you are not traveling together, in fact, that person He didn’t mean to mess with you, maybe it was because he was in a good mood when you met that time, his hand just felt right, and he just wanted to touch the bag... "
Since Su Zheng was in a bad mood, after being glared at, Ye Shuang simply touched his nose and shut up.
Howard didn't understand Chinese, so he just pulled up his cell phone. After a while, he said "hehe" with a lewd smile: "Ye, I said you can't go wrong if you bring me here with you... Do you know who that French guy is? If it weren't for me, If you are here, I believe you don’t know why little Serif is here.”
French foreigners are at least over fifty years old. Even if foreigners themselves look older, if they are so old that they have wrinkles on their face and two sagging bags under their eyes, it is definitely not due to the appearance of physical problems.
It's true that Howard came to watch the fun, but he also knew that he was an uninvited guest, so he didn't forget to bring his own value to the fun. He quickly found the key entry point and quickly figured out the identity of the Frenchman who was having a good relationship with Serif.
"The French guy is a famous collector, and he especially likes to collect paintings by famous painters in his country, such as Henri Rousseau and Paul Signac..." Howard mockingly spat out a harsh comment: "What kind of people appreciate what kind of works?" . Rousseau is naive and ignorant, and Paul is a single-cell straight-circuit creature. If you like two people like this, how high can this collector's IQ be?"
"..." Ye Shuang was silent for half a minute, and then said in black: "I remember that most people in the world commented that Rousseau was innocent and simple, while Paul was passionate and passionate... Whoever made the evaluation, your comments have revealed the darkness and meanness in your heart. The essence of it!”
Howard pouted: "I'm always mean. Is this the first day you've met me?"
Ye Shuang: "..." Such frankness made her feel speechless.
Su Zheng slapped the table angrily: "Stop speaking French! Even if you speak French, you have to take me with you first! I don't understand a word of it!"
Someone raised an opinion. Ye Shuang quickly put Howard's matter aside, switched back to Chinese and explained to Su Zheng the identity of the Frenchman, and what Howard had guessed, the reason why Cyril appeared here to intersect with him. The reason - this thief is probably interested in other people's collectibles.
After hearing this, Su Zheng became excited. She pulled up her sleeves and was about to cause havoc: "The bad guy really wants to do bad things again! He stole my wallet and wants to live a happy life from now on? Does he think this is writing a fairy tale? I won't kill him. It’s not Su!”
"Let me ask first, what are you going to do?"
"Uh..." Su Zheng choked, and after feeling depressed, she quickly turned her expectant gaze to Ye Shuang: "Sister Shuang, please cover me!!"
Ye Shuang: "..."
Ignoring Howard's curious eyes for the time being, Ye Shuang organized her thoughts and patiently began to guide and ask: "First of all, you have to determine your goal. Are you going to cause him long-term pain or short-term pain?"
"Then it has to be chronic... uh, how to treat chronic pain?" Su Zheng swallowed the second half of the unspoken sentence. After noticing Ye Shuang's serious expression, she swallowed her saliva carefully and asked cautiously.
"For example, let him continue to steal things, and let's go watch and get some evidence. At that time, as long as he anonymously submits it to the FBI, there is no need to bother making up any excuses or disguises. Those people who have been hungry for a long time will definitely take advantage of that Seri Arrest him. If you are still not satisfied, we can also ask Tony to help track it down. It can also be regarded as helping Tony gain some favorability points with the FBI. In the future, when we are friends, Tony will be able to be accommodating when he encounters any situation. So accommodating..."
Ye Shuang explained: "The short-term pain is much easier. Since he went to such trouble to get to know a French foreigner just to steal a few paintings, then we might as well ruin his business... But I personally feel that this option is too poor." Because of the technical content, I guess you won't choose it." After finishing speaking, he sighed with a very pitiful expression.
"..." Su Zheng silently retracted his clenched arm and thought for a moment: "How about I let him go and just suffer a short pain." This is simply too cruel. Thinking of his colleagues falling into this kind of fate, he instantly felt sad. There is wood.
"Eh?" Ye Shuang looked at Su Zheng in surprise: "Xiao Su, are you serious? Are you willing to accept the short-term pain?"
Su Zheng broke out in a cold sweat: "You have to keep a line in life. Sister Shuang, you also said it. After all, we are all in the same industry..."
So under Su Zheng's proactive stance, Ye Shuang finally happily set the target of the plan as a one-time strike. You don't have to do it too harshly, just disrupt Cyril's plan to steal the French collector.
…
"What are you going to do?"
Howard watched the discussion between Ye Shuang and Su Zheng with great interest. Although he couldn't understand, Su Zheng's rich expressions were enough to entertain Howard.
Ye Shuang thought for a while: "I just heard that Cyril was pretending to be a literary young man. The general idea seemed to be that he was a pure young man who had a strong pursuit of art... I guess he was just to increase his favorability points, and by the way, he would go to the collectors later. I’ll look at the paintings there to prepare the scene.”
"According to the character of the French guy, he seems to hate people who cheat. It's a little troublesome to explain the specific plan. Anyway, you two just do as I say... Xiao Su doesn't want to use professionalism while taking revenge. Do you want to win back your skills once? In a moment, you can stuff a high-level oil painting into Cyril's bag, and then we can do some tricks to let the French guy find it." When it came to the second half of the sentence, Ye Shuang naturally He switched back to Chinese and supplemented and repeated the previous content to explain his plan.
Fortunately, Howard didn't listen to the full version, but Su Zheng was so shocked that he almost fainted: "Sister Shuang, don't be kidding! Where can I get a high-level oil painting now? Besides, you have to give me some action. Instructions, what is the style and genre of the oil painting? Figures, landscapes, or fruit plates? Half-naked or not naked?"
"This little scene will scare you..." Ye Shuang looked at Su Zheng with disdain: "Don't worry, Brother Han was involved in art appreciation when he was tutoring me. Although he didn't study it in depth, I have learned a few oil paintings. Or have you seen it... By the way, is there a painting shop nearby?"
Su Zheng almost went crazy and almost screamed: "Sister Shuang, do you still want to paint by yourself? Do it now? High level?"
Please stop making trouble! Let’s not talk about the issue of poor quality. It’s just not enough time.
Even though Cyril and the French guy are chatting like they are about to book a hotel room, in fact, the two of them can sit in the cafe for half an hour which is the limit... Even if Cyril doesn't have to eat or go to the toilet, he still has a lot of time. valuable!
Howard also listened to Ye Shuang's request, and while pointing the way, he was curious: "How interesting! Little girl, what do you want to do?"
Ye Shuang snapped her fingers: "Stop talking nonsense, the next step is to witness the miracle!" (To be continued)
