Chapter 232 The FBI admits to counseling
When Yang Jing made this restricted-level time and space shuttle, he made a little insignificant mistake, which led to his arrival in 1979, not December 16, but was postponed by a week, December 23.
However, the Holy Ring also gave a definite answer, and this kind of mistake would not affect anything.
So, when Yang Jing returned to his original time and space on February 23, 1980, he had been traveling through time and space for nearly 60 days.
According to the temporal flow rate ratio of the forty-year node is 10:1, Yang Jing has actually disappeared for only six days in the original space and time.
When Yang Jing returned to the original time and space, it was still late at night. There was no mistake this time, because when Yang Jing returned to the hotel, he learned that today happened to be December 22, 2017.
Six days have passed since the original time and space were completed.
Looking at the dense buildings not far from the beach, Yang Jing was really unable to adapt for a moment.
Thirty-eight years are far from being a world of change, but human power is sometimes so magical. It took only thirty-eight years to transform a piece of empty wasteland into a prosperous commercial area.
Although it was already late at night, there were still people flashing in a short distance, and some crisp laughter kept coming along the sea breeze. Obviously, these were some tourists who were having fun. Maybe they would spend a sleepless night on this beach, or maybe they were doing some extremely pleasant bonfire entertainment.
Located in the depths of the Caribbean Sea, the Cayman Islands has not only developed into a global financial center, but its invincible sea views and suitable climate have also made this archipelago country a tourist destination.
Before traveling through time, Yang Jing had already changed his clothes, so he was still dressed in a pair of beach pants and a T-shirt, pulling beach sandals along the coastline toward the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in the distance.
I went back to the hotel and slept beautifully, but early the next morning, the door of the guest room was knocked.
Fortunately, Yang Jing's biological clock has been maintained well. He wakes up at the right time in the morning. He has no habit of staying in bed and no worries about getting up.
When Yang Jing opened the door, he found a strange man standing outside the door.
"Hello, Mr. Yang, I am Wensi Bell, the hotel's lobby manager, and I'm sorry to bother you so early."
Yang Jing smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm actually awake."
Wensi Bell said, "I just heard that the waiter you came back late last night. Although I don't want to disturb your rest, I have to do this." As he said, the lobby manager took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Yang Jing. "Mr. Yang, three days ago, an American who claimed to be Mars and Zhao kept calling our lobby front desk, saying that he had something to come to you, and I told him that you went out alone, so Mr. Zhao asked me to notify you as soon as you came back, and asked you to call him immediately. The note was the phone number of Mr. Zhao."
After a pause, Wensi Bell continued to explain: "Mr. Zhao called you the day before yesterday and yesterday to ask about your whereabouts. It seems that there is something urgent, but unfortunately you have never come back. I learned that you are back early in the morning, so I will disturb you immediately."
"Oh, thank you!" Yang Jing glanced at the phone number on the note, which was Zhao Meng's private cell phone. "I went out for vacation. In order to avoid being disturbed by others, I turned off all the phones and other things in order to avoid being disturbed by others, which made you worry."
"It's okay, Mr. Yang. Actually, isn't this what it should be like for vacation? If you're still busy with work on vacation, why not go out for vacation? What do you think?" After saying this, the lobby manager bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Yang, if there is nothing else, then I'll say goodbye first."
"OK, thank you again." Yang Jing smiled in time.
When she saw the lobby manager was about to go out, Yang Jing suddenly said, "Mr. Bell, please wait a moment, can I trouble you with something?"
Wensi Bell stopped and said with a smile: "I am willing to serve you."
"Okay, I would like to ask you to check for me and see if there is a company called Dragon Fund or Dragon Fund in the Cayman Islands. This fund is a company registered in the Cayman Islands."
"As you wish, sir. I'll go back and check it for you now, and it will be a result soon." After that, Wen Si and Bell said goodbye and left.
After closing the door and washing up, Yang Jing turned on his cell phone and called him with one call.
"Oh, thank goodness, you finally replied! If you don't show up again, I will call the police." The phone rang twice, and it quickly answered it. Zhao Meng's familiar voice immediately came out on the phone.
"Sorry, Uncle Zhao, I turned off all the communication instruments when I went out to sea. I worried you."
"Haha, nothing. If I go out for vacation, I probably will do this. Forget it, don't talk about those useless things, Xiaojing. If you have fun, it's better to come back. It's about the thirteen famous paintings, and things have changed a little."
"Uncle Zhao, can you tell me on the phone? I'm also mentally prepared."
"It's not a big problem. After all, there are laws there. The Gardner Museum of Art, which lost these thirteen famous paintings at the time, has applied to the San Francisco police to temporarily prohibit the departure of these thirteen famous paintings."
When Yang Jing heard this, he couldn't help but relax. When he heard these thirteen famous paintings just now, he really thought something was wrong, but he didn't expect that this was the case.
Before the final ownership of these thirteen famous paintings is determined, it is normal for people to apply for the prohibition of leaving the country.
"And the Gardner Museum of Art asked to re-evaluate the thirteen famous paintings. The most important thing is that the FBI also participated, and they also asked to see these thirteen famous paintings. The paintings are all in your hands, and you are still in the Cayman Islands, so I naturally can't get the paintings. Now I'm dragging them. But those FBI guys are rather annoying, you know..."
Hearing the embarrassment in Zhao Meng's tone, Yang Jing knew that it was time to go back.
"Uncle Zhao, don't worry, I'll buy the air ticket back now, and we'll meet in the evening."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Jing thought about the process of this time travel. After finding that nothing was left behind, he immediately entrusted the hotel to book him the fastest flight to San Francisco.
In the afternoon, it was Wensi Bell who delivered the air ticket.
"Mr. Yang, this is the air ticket you booked. In addition, the company named Dragon Fund you entrust me to query for you. I have checked. There is indeed such a fund in the Cayman Islands, which was registered in December 1979. However, this fund is very low-key and mysterious. After so many years of establishment, there has been almost no action from this company. According to my estimate, it is very likely that it is an offshore company." Wensi Bell shrugged and said, "You understand."
These things are not a secret. Any company registered in the Cayman Islands can be found in the relevant local departments, but as for the internal affairs of these companies, it is impossible to check them.
Yang Jing smiled and took out ten Franklin and handed them over, saying, "Thank you very much for your help. This is a little bit of a little bit of meaning. I hope you can accept it."
The lobby manager is also a human being, and it is naturally impossible to refuse the tip of a thousand dollars. After Wensi Bell received the tip, he said goodbye amid repeated thank you.
Close the door, Yang Jing waved his fist excitedly. Since the Dragon Fund is still there, it means that his journey has not been in vain. Moreover, the Dragon Fund can continue until now, which means that Mike Aller has done well in the past.
After putting down a big stone in his heart, in the evening, Yang Jing stepped onto the land of San Francisco International Airport again. Lin Dan naturally came to pick him up, and Chris and John also followed him.
When the four of them met, they naturally felt a different kind of excitement.
Although Lin Dan and the two bodyguards had only been in contact with Yang Jing for more than half a month, both Lin Dan and the two bodyguards had a very good sense of Yang Jing. Especially Yang Jing once used the "Great Hope Technique" in front of them, but in the end he actually found thirteen famous paintings of pricelessness. Although they were stolen goods, this magical magic also made Yang Jing of the three teams admire him.
Lin Dan really regarded Yang Jing as his elder brother, and the two bodyguards had not met such an interesting and refreshing employer for a long time. Therefore, although Yang Jing had been away for only a week, they both missed Yang Jing very much.
After leaving the airport and getting in the car, John drove in front, Chris was sitting in the passenger seat, and Yang Jing and Lin Dan sat behind and talked.
"I said brother, what's wrong with you? Why did you become like this after only a week? This is not possible. You are still young and can't be so uncontrollable..." On the way, Yang Jing smiled and teased Lin Dan.
Lin Dan’s current situation does seem a bit bad, especially the pair of dark circles. Those who don’t know think that he is singing and singing every day, causing his kidney to suffer.
Two black lines suddenly appeared on Lin Dan's forehead. "Brother Yang, you're so heartless! You ran to the Caribbean and went alone, but I still have to deal with those FBI guys here. I haven't had a good sleep for three days!"
Looking at Yang Jing's puzzled look, Lin Dan smiled bitterly and continued, "Brother Yang, that warehouse was taken in my name. Although the stolen artworks are on your side, the FBI doesn't know that they will recognize me and harass me all day long. If Uncle Zhao hadn't suppressed me, my sister would have asked someone to kill those stupid people! His sister, if he dares to find trouble in San Francisco, the FBI will do it even if he can't miss me!"
Yang Jing smiled and gave a big thumbs up, giving Brother Lin Dan a thumbs up, "Then why don't you find a lawyer? Lawyers are the best at dealing with these guys, right?"
Lin Dan shook his head and said, "There is no way, and the lawyers can do it. These guys are harassing me in the name of investigation... Damn, this group of cousins are raised!"
Yang Jing was helpless in this regard. American law explicitly stipulates that citizens have the obligation to accept legal investigations. The FBI used the investigation as an excuse to "harasse" Lin Dan, and came one today, one tomorrow, one in the morning, and one in the evening. As an American citizen, you really can't refuse. On the contrary, you must cooperate with other people's investigation, otherwise you will be illegal.
Lin Dan pressed the car window glass and spat outside hatefully, then pressed the car window glass and continued, "I think these FBIs are not willing to give up. After the Gardner Museum of Art was stolen, the museum directly offered a reward of one million dollars after reporting the case. Haha, that was one million in 1990, which was more valuable than the current 10 million! However, until the prosecution period for the theft case expired in 1995, there was no leader in this case, and then the Gardner Museum directly increased the reward to five million dollars."
"The Gardner Museum raised the reward, which naturally made the FBI, who was in charge of the case, feels dull, so the FBI also issued a reward of $5 million. Later, someone called the FBI to tell the FBI that he knew the whereabouts of the thirteen famous paintings, but asked the FBI to not only pay the reward of $5 million after receiving the paintings, but he could not be held accountable. However, the FBI's waste rejected the man's request, and the thirteen paintings have never been heard from again."
"The folly of the FBI made them miss the opportunity to solve this amazing case. Although the FBI regretted the original decision later, and even publicly promised that as long as someone could find the thirteen paintings, he would not only receive a $5 million reward from the FBI, but would not be held accountable. However, there is still no information about the thirteen paintings, even if there is, it would be proven to be fake."
Yang Jing smiled and said, "The FBI is admitting his conscience."
"Yes, I'm just being timid! You can't be timid, no one will provide clues at all. But they admit defeat and it's useless. No one still provides any clues for these thirteen famous paintings. Until May 23 this year, the Gardner Museum of Art even raised the reward to 10 million US dollars, but no one still provides clues. However, the FBI once announced that they had confirmed the identities of the two thieves, but unfortunately the two thieves have passed away..."
Yang Jing smiled and said, "I think the FBI is talking nonsense!"
"Isn't it just nonsense!" Lin Dan slapped himself in the thigh, "If they really confirmed the identities of the two thieves, why are they still harassed me all day long now?"
Yang Jing patted Lin Dan on the shoulder and said, "You can have a good sleep tonight. If those notes are still looking for you today, tell them that a press conference will be held in the morning, and everyone will see the thirteen lost famous paintings."
"Tomorrow?" Lin Dan asked in confusion.
"That's right, it's tomorrow morning. Since this matter has been exposed, let it be completely exposed to all the public. When I go back, I will first meet Uncle Zhao first, let it prepare a large enough place, and at the same time notify the people at the Gardner Museum of Art to let them make an appraisal in public tomorrow morning. Well, there must be lawyers and videographers present, and all the scenes must be taken. Oh, by the way, I have a video document here, which I recorded on my mobile phone after opening the warehouse that day. Lin Dan, after we took photos of that warehouse, are the procedures for handover between you and the warehouse company still preserved?"
"Of course, this thing cannot be lost. If this thing is lost, we will not be able to explain clearly. Not only did the handover procedure not be lost, I also kept the invoice issued by the warehousing company when I paid the auction payment."
"That's good. I'll show all these things tomorrow. Well, I don't quite understand your American laws. You said just now that the prosecution period for this case has passed, so they won't go back to those thirteen paintings, right?"
"That's right. Even if the prosecution period has not expired, we have obtained it with good intentions. In addition to the regulations of the "United Commercial Code", they will never go back to these thirteen paintings."
Hearing Lin Dan’s affirmation, Yang Jing laughed. “Then we don’t have to worry. We will make all the evidence public tomorrow and see what else they can say.”
Lin Dan said: "Of course they can't tell anything else. The lawyer invited by Uncle Zhao is not a joke. He is a barrister in the United States. With him, no one can touch these thirteen paintings."
"That's good! Okay, let's not talk about these things for now, it's a headache. I said, brother, what kind of sumptuous dinner have I prepared for my brother this evening?"
"Hehe, Brother Yang, I guarantee that you can eat comfortably tonight. My dad took the initiative to prepare a table of authentic Sichuan cuisine. The seasonings were all brought by Uncle Guo when he came some time ago. With my dad's craftsmanship, I will ensure you are satisfied!"
Hearing this, Yang Jing only felt that there was a lot of saliva inexplicable ways in his mouth...
