Chapter 1291: Auctions and battles
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was more than half an hour.
This jewellery and diamond auction is coming to an end, not far from the end, and there are not many remaining lots.
But the atmosphere in the auction hall has become more and more hot, it is approaching the boiling point, and the smell of gunpowder in the air has become more and more intense, and the smell is a bit choking!
Especially the famous jewelers and super-rich people from all over the world sitting in the first two rows, each with their eyes shining and gearing up, preparing to start a bayonet-smashing battle!
There is no need to ask, these guys have the same goal, they are all coming for the top fancy vivid blue diamond "Oppenheimer Blue"!
It was the largest Fancy Vivid blue diamond in the history of auctions in the world, and it was a top-notch diamond of invaluable value.
"boom!"
Another set of diamonds fell for the sale, and auctioneer Larson's loud voice once again resounded throughout the auction hall!
With three more lots, the much-anticipated "Oppenheimer's Blue" will be unveiled. It will be the most exciting and most competitive moment today!
As Larson's voice fell, Ye Tian followed his gestures and turned his head to look behind.
Pretending to be inadvertent, his gaze swept across from a personal buyer sitting in the twelfth row near the aisle, and looked at the happy bidder who was waving his fist to celebrate!
The individual buyer sitting on the twelfth row near the aisle is the eyeliner of the ‘Pink Panther’ in the auction hall. There is no doubt about that!
Through the on-site monitoring screen in the auction hall, combined with the time and frequency of the buyer's message, Matisse and the others easily found the guy and checked it out!
This is a rich man from Croatia, who is engaged in shipping business. He has some money in his pocket. He also has a good reputation in Croatia, like a serious businessman!
On the surface, this guy does not seem to have anything to do with the "Pink Panther", but who would have expected that he is the eyeliner of the "Pink Panther" inserted here!
After confirming that this guy is the ‘Pink Panther’ eyeliner, Ye Tian quickly found the opportunity to see this guy thoroughly!
This guy didn't carry any weapons or threats. He should only be responsible for reporting the situation at the scene and not participating in specific actions of robbery or theft. He was quite cunning!
Seeing the ecstatic winning bidder, Ye Tian retracted his gaze and turned to look at the auction table ahead.
Immediately afterwards, he turned on the microphone of the invisible headset and said in a low voice:
"Matisse, you can disclose the information to the Antwerp police. Let the Antwerp police come to check the water meter and check the condition of the jewel thieves of the'Pink Panther'.
It is estimated that when the Antwerp police knocked on the door of the apartment, the "Oppenheimer's Blue" should also appear on the stage. By then, both sides will be staged a wonderful show.
Please do not tell the Antwerp police about the existence of the ‘Pink Panther’ eyeliner in the auction hall, nor the security officer at Christie’s auction house.
I'm afraid those guys are overly nervous and interrupting this auction will not pay off. We don't have time to spend in Antwerp all the time, waiting for the next auction to start!
Those three guys pretending to be tourists, don't tell the Antwerp police that if the police launch an arrest on Diamond Street, it will definitely affect the auction!
When the auctioneer knocked the auction hammer, I successfully won the "Oppenheimer's Blue", and then revealed the identities of these guys to the police so that they could be arrested.
In addition, don’t forget the idiots of the Ghent father and sons and the Brussels gang, to prevent them from jumping out and messing up, and if necessary, let the Antwerp police deal with them! "
"Understood, Steven, I will inform the Antwerp police and let them start the operation. You can rest assured that the outside situation is under our control!"
Matisse’s voice came through the headphones, confident and excited.
Then the two ended the call and went their own way!
Ye Tian continued to stay in the auction hall, preparing for the final battle, while Matisse took out his mobile phone and began to contact the Antwerp police officer he had met before.
The auction continued. In the auction hall, bidding number plates kept coming and going, and the price was endless. The scene was very lively, and the smell of gunpowder filled the hall!
On the other side, the Antwerp police, who received the news, also acted immediately.
To be on the safe side, while verifying the authenticity of the information disclosed by Mattis, the Antwerp police secretly strengthened the security of Diamond Street in order to deal with possible emergencies.
You know, the guys hiding in the apartment near Diamond Avenue are probably the ‘Pink Panther’ team, the most famous jewelry robbery and theft gang in the world!
For Antwerp, known as the ‘Diamond Capital of the World’, these guys are undoubtedly natural enemies and the most hated criminals. They can’t help but feel nervous!
Through the surveillance probes in many parts of the city and the news inquired on the black market of jewellery and diamond trading, the Antwerp police quickly confirmed that the news revealed by Matisse is indeed true!
The guys hidden in the apartment near Diamond Street are the important figures of the ‘Pink Panther’ and the crowds of them!
Those jewel thieves appeared in Antwerp at this time, the purpose is self-evident, they must come for today's jewellery and diamond auction!
Of course, those jewel thieves are also likely to be directed at Steven, the top jewellery of Queen Mary in his hands!
After confirming that the news was true, the head of the Antwerp police on Diamond Street couldn't help feeling quite embarrassed, even a little embarrassed!
At the same time, he had a deeper understanding of Ye Tian's strength, and he was secretly shocked!
Immediately afterwards, the Antwerp police launched an action.
Soon, several armored vehicles loaded with the Antwerp police contingent rushed out of the Antwerp police station garage and rushed to the street where the ‘Pink Panthers’ were.
The Antwerp Police Task Force, a police special force with only 16 people, is tasked with solving all hostage-taking crimes and high-risk arrest operations in the city.
Every member of this police contingent has served in the police force for more than five years. Many of them were once paratroopers in the Royal Belgian army and are the trump card force of the Antwerp police!
These armored vehicles are still on the road, and the street where the members of the ‘Pink Panther’ are located is quietly blocked by the Antwerp police, only to go out and not to enter! Quietly ready to fight!
Within a few minutes, several armored vehicles of the Antwerp Police Task Force arrived at their destination.
When disembarking from the armored vehicle, the task force had completed its division. The 16 of them were divided into three groups, two groups for offense and one group for support.
Next ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ These armed special police officers, wearing black masks, body armor and holding short assault rifles, lined up in a line of offensive formation and started to attack!
They clung to the wall on the side of the street, using the walls and the outer eaves of the building as a cover, starting from both ends of the street, and went straight to the apartment building in the middle of the street!
In the auction hall, as the auction mallet in Larson's hands fell, an orange diamond weighing about nine carats was successfully shot out and fell into the luxury brand Cartier.
After a round of enthusiastic applause, the penultimate lot was taken out of the temporary safe by the staff of Christie's and placed on the display stand before everyone.
Immediately afterwards, Larson's passionate voice came from the stage again, resounding throughout the auction hall.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what everyone sees at this moment is the 49th lot of today's jewellery and diamond auction, and it is also the penultimate lot today.
This is a set of crystal clear and flawless white diamonds, a total of eight diamonds, the heaviest one is 7.8 carats, the lightest one is 5.52 carats, all from the same original diamond,..."
