Chapter 40: The Beginning
"Still no news from Anna?"
"I'm sorry, boss. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info We just found this thing in the end...... On the side of the highway on Fifth Avenue. The man took out a broken brooch.
Inside the building, Yefim was looking at his men - he had a good demeanor, especially when he was eating with the politicians, and he maintained it to a textbook level, but in his own place, he felt the need to keep it at all.
So he snorted coldly, poured the unfinished wine in the cup directly on the faces of his subordinates, and snorted coldly: "Hmph!
The subordinate wiped his face, and he couldn't see the angry expression, and then he said slowly: "Boss, that guy claimed to be Yuri from the Dekabi family last night." So many guests are hearing it, and you think we should contact the family and ask them what the hell is going on?"
Yefim continued to snort coldly: "Contact them? This auction is held in the name of F&C, and if you ask me to contact them, is it equivalent to telling people that I am the one who stole the painting?"
"Boss, I mean, we can also continue to contact the Decabi family in the name of 'Freedom & Clowns'. ”
"Idiot, who is this Dekabi? Do you think they're going to bother with a little thief?" said Yefim angrily walking back and forth in front of the couch.
Suddenly, the elevator behind opened and a man walked in: "Boss, there is a letter for you, but it does not have a name." ”
"Who sent it?" Yefim frowned.
"Just a kid who shouldn't know anything. The man said quickly, "But I also said: you will need something in it...... We checked and there was nothing dangerous inside. ”
Ye Feimu narrowed his eyes and did not take the envelope, but said indifferently: "You open it and see what is inside." ”
The man had no choice but to open the envelope sealed by fire paint.
"It's ...... Invitations. He was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, looked at Ye Feimu and said slowly: "I invited you to participate in the auction." ”
Ye Feimu was startled, he grabbed the invitation directly from his subordinates' hands, glanced at it quickly, and then kept frowning.
He couldn't help but think back to what he had seen last night through the lens hidden by Anna's brooch - it was too vague to see clearly, but he could hear every word that the guy who called himself Yuri said.
He will auction off the real "Girl with No Name".
Yefim didn't think about the other party's idea of this painting - what he thought was that this guy had already announced the auction in front of all the guests, and it seemed that there was no need to send an invitation out.
And, here's an invitation sent here!
"You go out first. Yefim commanded indifferently.
It wasn't until both of his men had left that he hurriedly ascended the spiral staircase to the upper floor of the room. He pressed a button, and one of the bookcases opened automatically—there was a door hidden inside.
Yefim entered the code and opened the door—this was his collection room.
When he saw the real "Nameless Girl" that was still well placed here, he was a little relieved. However, this invitation he had on hand ......
He had to think in the worst direction: did the people of the Decabi family know something.
"Yuri...... Yuri?" Yefim muttered to himself.
He couldn't think of a down-and-out homeless man as the heir to that madman's family, and the name was probably just a coincidence.
Anna said that when she was on the platform to solve Yuri, she discovered that his alleged possession of evidence was nothing more than a lie used to defraud......
"Is Anna lying to me, Yuri isn't dead at all......"
Yefim frowned.
He suddenly grabbed the phone, dialed one of the numbers, and put on a smiling face: "Black, old man, how are you doing?"
"Oh, is it Yefim? No, I've been annoyed lately. You know, the scandal of collusion between politicians and gangsters that broke out in VK last week bombarded me almost every day......!
The voice on the other end of the line was even softer: "Our Mr. President has also spoken...... Old man, if you can't find the criminals in these two cases, if you don't get it, even I'll be the one who takes the blame and retire early!"
Yefim sighed and said: "Yes, it's another scandal, another famous painting stolen, and another subway station shooting, I'm really sorry for you." ”
"Wait, old man, what are you talking about? What was the shooting at the subway station? Why haven't I heard about it? When did it happen? Where did it happen?"
Yefim was stunned.
But he soon said that he was actually wrong.
"Yuri really didn't die...... Anna is lying to me!"
But he also squinted, secretly calculating something.
......
......
On the day of the second auction.
It's an auction, but this one is even more informal - in this kind of private place.
It can even be said that it is someone's territory.
Auctions that take place in such places...... There is no safety element at all, and it can even be said that the owner here, the heir of the Dekabi family, has no sincerity at all.
But when a big guy came with someone with the mentality of giving it a try, he was surprised to see that there were already a lot of guys gathered here.
Or the recipe for that masquerade that night...... It's just that the taste is completely different.
Only kill almost all of today's guests did not bring female dependents, but there were more people who brought protection, and most of them were murderous guys.
Although it's also secretive, people who are familiar with each other can probably still guess who the other person is, right?
One by one, the collectors stood outside the door of the manor—and soon after, the iron door of the manor opened, and the housekeeper of the manor walked out in a graceful manner.
He glanced at his pocket watch and said with a slight smile: "It's not time yet, but I'm glad that you gentlemen can be so punctual." Although, there weren't as many people as that night...... Ladies and gentlemen, please come in with me, Mr. Yuri has been waiting for you inside for a long time. ”
"Wait a minute! I'm going to take my men in. The emaciated man was in a dark state at this time.
Edgar smiled and said, "Of course, Mr. Yuri is very democratic and definitely doesn't intend to embarrass you." You can please do so, but I hope you can restrain your men, and if something happens while wandering around, it will not be covered by our compensation. ”
Edgar watched as the big guys led his men and drove into the manor like statues.
He waited until the last car had entered the manor, because the time was not yet at its end. Observing the rules of time is also one of the things that this old man abides by.
The last ten minutes.
An elaborate carriage slowly made its way through the entrance to the manor.
That's right, it's a carriage.
The man in the clown mask got out of the car first, and then affectionately reached out and pulled out the female companion in the carriage box, and the two slowly came to Edgar.
"Am I late? I'm sorry, I was going to rent a car, but when I saw this carriage occasionally, I couldn't help but rent it. (To be continued.) )
