Chapter 12 The Hague II
The Prime Minister, who was sitting at Huis Ten Bosch Palace, was not polite to Martin at all. Of course, he first severely criticized the flaws of the capitalist electoral system and the police system.
When he blamed the recent theft of a museum and the failure to solve the mysterious death of a reporter in time as the main reason for his election defeat, Martin interrupted him and replied with a contemptuous smile, "Your country's police are recognized as the worst in the league."
If you don't follow up on the clues we provide in time, there is really nothing you can do.
The Prime Minister was very dissatisfied with Martin's soft-yielding attitude. He told Martin that the theft had caused a sensation in the literary and artistic circles and the press, and had even become a laughing stock in some non-friendly countries.
To this end, a group of activists who love cultural relics and artistic treasures established a semi-official art protection organization - Porgisse Starry Sky, headquartered in Italy. Its members include senior government officials, private detectives, professors, famous painters, and well-known journalists.
Art collectors, etc., each have their own division of labor and collaborate with each other. They are responsible for tracing stolen art and protecting existing cultural relics, and he himself will soon become the general manager of the Dutch branch.
Having said this, the Prime Minister looked closely into Martin's eyes, hoping that he could express his position on behalf of the EU Police Headquarters.
Martin was not panicked at all. He remembered his father's advice: to think through all aspects of the problem. He lowered his head and avoided the Prime Minister's gaze.
Seeing that he was in such a mess, the Prime Minister finally became excited. He stood up, walked around and said loudly, "We all know that it is impossible to control crime solely by relying on the police."
Crime is a social phenomenon, and controlling crime is the responsibility of society. The police is only a part of the criminal justice system, and criminal justice is a part of the government, and the government is just a part of society.
However, law enforcement departments still insist that the police take reducing crime rates as the starting point of their work and believe that the basic tasks of the police are to maintain public order and control crime.
This is the most obvious police function. Both in the Netherlands and the European Union. After decades of unremitting efforts by these artists and academic detectives, the whereabouts of some of these artworks have finally been traced.
But what have our police done over the years? Is it worthy of taxpayers and the government? Martin doesn't care if he criticizes the police. As long as it doesn't affect his promotion, Martin doesn't care.
But Martin has always felt that after solving this case, his face will be bright. He has always wanted to pursue the god-like professional existence of Deputy Director Petit, which can be regarded as worthy of his high-flying youth when he met Beno.
The Prime Minister noticed Martin's impatience and lack of bottom line, so he called the minister to come up and discuss the next step with Martin, and then kicked Martin out of the office.
Martin had no idea where the minister's information came from, but what shocked him most was that the minister said that as far as he knew, most of these famous paintings had been transferred to China, especially "Woman Holding a Fan" by Modi.
Liani's most famous work is in the hands of a wealthy collector in southern China.
Chinese? Those Oriental yellow people who dare not report the crime if their wallets and cell phones are robbed? Do they collect famous European paintings?
Do they have money to collect? The amount of information in the conversation between the Prime Minister and the Minister was so large that Martin couldn't react at once.
Out of politeness, he said goodbye to the minister who was about to become prime minister in a friendly manner and stood up to leave.
Before leaving, he heard the minister shout loudly to his back, listen up, Martin. I am not asking for your help now, but asking you to send some detectives to investigate, preferably Chinese. You know we Germans.
They are different from the Chinese in many aspects, especially their appearance.
