Chapter 193: The Lost Treasure

Lin Youquan had reminded Li Hao before that he had to take out high-grade treasures as bidding items in order to be eligible to participate in this mysterious black market auction.

It is also a person like Li Hao who decided to participate temporarily, so he hurried to play the trick of improvised cramming, and people like Yuan Yan handed over the treasure to the undertaker for safekeeping early.

That treasure is Yuan Yan's qualification certificate to participate in the auction, if the treasure is gone, it means that she has completely lost her qualification to bid, and can only be a pure spectator!

Can she not be in a hurry?

"You tell me clearly, what's going on?" Yuan Yan was so anxious that she was furious, "I handed over the things to you for safekeeping early, and now you tell me that the things are gone?"

The man in the suit had a gilded nameplate on his chest engraved with his name and position: Bai Fan, general manager of the hotel.

This Manager Bai obviously knew how terrible it was to lose Yuan Yan's treasure, so at this moment, his whole body trembled like chaff, and his mouth was a little unfavorable, "Miss Yuan, I'm ...... We can't help it, it's really ......."

"You can't help it?" Yuan Yan said angrily: "You can't help it, who has the way? When I handed over the things to you, what did you tell me? Now that you've lost something, you're telling me you can't help it?!"

Manager Bai was about to cry in fright, "Yuan ...... Miss Yuan, this is ...... You don't really blame us for this, or ...... Why don't you go see our surveillance footage first?"

Yuan Yan still wanted to go crazy, but Li Hao quietly pulled her, "Sister Yuan, let's go and see the surveillance video first, it won't take much time anyway." ”

As soon as he heard this, Manager Bai suddenly nodded as if he had been amnestied, and cast a hurried glance at Li Hao.

Although Yuan Yan was so angry, she finally nodded in agreement.

Walking along the road, almost all the security guards in the hotel were standing there trembling, and they knew very well in their hearts that if Yuan Yan was ready to investigate this matter to the end...... All of them here are not immune, and the best result is probably that the hotel goes bankrupt and closes down and they go home unemployed!

After coming to the monitoring room, Manager Bai quickly commanded the broadcast of the surveillance video, which was presented in the form of a sixteen-square grid, which included the monitoring of all the entrances and exits and passages of this storage room, with almost zero dead ends.

Judging from the surveillance footage, the security measures in this storage room are indeed cautious and strict to the extreme, all the doors in and out are double verification of fingerprints and laser face scanning, and there are four special security guards patrolling back and forth at the door, and ordinary people can't break in at all.

The storage room is even more organized, with infrared alarms everywhere, and it is indeed difficult to steal treasures from such a heavily guarded place, unless those caretakers are guarding themselves, it is almost impossible to steal them.

Seeing these pictures, the anger in Yuan Yan's heart subsided slightly, after all, the protective measures in this hotel are really good, at least now there is no sign of slackness.

But in that case, how did the thing get lost?

Li Hao was also a little curious, and quietly asked, "Sister Yuan, what is the treasure you stored?"

"A century-old ginseng from Changbai Mountain. Yuan Yan frowned and replied: "The most valuable thing about that ginseng is not its vintage, but its shape - it is the standard fat doll shape, and the appearance is very festive, so it is very popular." Every time the price changes hands, the price will rise by more than a million, and by the time I get it, the value has exceeded seven million!"

Hearing this, Li Hao suddenly took a breath of cool air, this premium is really exaggerated!

Because alchemy requires the purchase of medicinal materials a few times, he now has a little understanding of the price of medicinal materials, under normal circumstances, the price of a century-old ginseng is only one million to two million, unless it is the best in excellent condition, it is difficult to break through three million.

And Yuan Yan, a doll-shaped century-old mountain ginseng, was worth more than seven million directly......

Sure enough, it's rare and expensive, and the limited edition "ginseng" really can't be provoked.

Under the guidance of Manager Bai, Li Hao found the location of the old ginseng in the surveillance video, which was a small dark red brocade box, and a cover made of bulletproof glass was sealed on the outside, which is very common in jewelry stores, and it is difficult for ordinary people to pry open this cover to steal.

However, the magical thing is here - this small brocade box containing hundred-year-old ginseng is exposed to the monitoring of cameras in all directions, as long as there is any wind and grass, people will be aware of it, but the old ginseng inside has disappeared unconsciously!

The entire surveillance video was kept for seven days, and the whole process from Yuan Yan's storage of the treasure to today's discovery of the treasure's disappearance was all recorded without landing for a second, but there was no sign of abnormality found halfway through!

No one broke the cover, no one guarded and stole it, and the old ginseng in the brocade box disappeared by itself like evaporated water vapor!

This result simply made Yuan Yan stunned, "How is it possible? How is this possible?!Have you edited the surveillance video and deliberately cut out the stolen footage?!"

Bai Fan wanted to cry and shouted without tears: "Miss Yuan, even if we want to do something, we don't have time! You have also seen that the old ginseng was still alive when we checked it at noon today, and it was not until the last time we confirmed the situation of the treasure just now that we found that it had disappeared." In such a short period of time, even if we want to do anything to destroy the evidence, it is too late, if you really don't believe it, take this surveillance video to the appraisal agency for identification, to see if there are any traces of human editing. ”

Seeing Bai Fan's fearless and resolute appearance, Yuan Yan was even more puzzled: it wasn't that they were guarding and stealing, and they hadn't edited the surveillance video...... Can this old ginseng really disappear?

It's ridiculous!

That mountain ginseng grows a little demonic, but it's not so demonic that it will soar on its own, right?

Yuan Yan couldn't figure out what was going on, and after a long time, she could only grit her teeth and say: "Call the police first, you have to find out this matter for me anyway, I reserve the right to hold you accountable for the time being, but if you can't give me a satisfactory result in the end...... At your own risk!"

As soon as the words fell, Manager Bai sighed with relief, and said while wiping cold sweat: "Miss Yuan, don't worry, even if we dig three feet into the ground and turn over the entire Jinhai, we will definitely find out and give you a satisfactory answer......

"Save some saliva. Yuan Yan interrupted with a grim face, "When I handed over the treasure to you, you also packed tickets with me like this, what is the result for you? Don't brag about it, what I want is the result!"

"Yes, yes, yes. Manager Bai said in a cold sweat: "We will do our best." ”

After walking out of the monitoring room, Yuan Yan's face softened slightly, and she smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "Come on, after making trouble for a long time, you can only be a spectator, in vain!"

Li Hao heard the sound inside as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help asking, "Sister Yuan, are you here with a clear goal?

"Nonsense, otherwise what am I doing here?" Yuan Yan glanced at her, shook her head and said, "Forget it, it's useless to talk about this now." Let's go, I won't be able to participate in the auction anyway, so I might as well go out for a ride!"

"Don't, Sister Yuan. Li Hao hurriedly persuaded: "Your treasure is gone, but I have it! Whatever you want to photograph, I can try to help you photograph it!"

"You?" Yuan Yan was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, "What treasures can you have?"

"Don't worry, it's definitely a good thing!" Li Hao said confidently: "You wait and see, there will definitely be a bunch of people rushing to grab it later!"

As he spoke, he took out a bottle of "Nongfu Spring" from his backpack and shook it as if offering treasure.

Yuan Yan was dumbfounded on the spot, "Are you supposed to tell me...... That's what you're calling a treasure, isn't it?"

"That's right. Li Hao nodded seriously, "Is there any problem?"

The corners of Yuan Yan's mouth twitched again and again, as if she had a polio attack, and after being stunned for a long time, she grabbed Li Hao's clothes and dragged them outside, muttering in her mouth: "I'm really crazy, how could I bring such an idiot of you to the auction...... Hurry up, hurry up, don't make jokes here!"
