Earth Fire Chapter 11 Undercurrent
At ten o'clock in the evening, the holographic projection exhibition ended. When the staff present recovered the number plate, the lights in the banquet hall gradually turned on again.
"Have you seen No. 69?" After getting used to the light, Feng Jianfei rubbed his eyes casually, and looked around anxiously. The surrounding guests had already begun to leave the venue in an orderly manner, and Feng Jianfei couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Nope. Number 57 is also gone. It should have been when it was just dark that I went to the backstage of Xigu to hand over the auction items. Let's go there, too. Seeing that Hefeng thanked him and left, Lin Hainan took Feng Jianfei to follow. When I got to the reception at the back, sure enough, I was intercepted.
"Sir, may I ask what is there? ”
"Really, I see someone going into here?" Feng Jianfei walked around the waiter who intercepted them and looked towards the corridor behind him.
The waiter was not very old, he should have just been a high school or college student who came to work as a temporary worker, and he made a false gesture to block it, but he still stayed in front of the corridor and did not let him go. Facing Lin Hainan and Feng Jianfei, who were tall and tall, the waiter boy was a little uneasy, "Do you have a pass? If not, you can't pass." Please don't embarrass me. ”
Of course, Lin Hainan and Feng Jianfei will not embarrass this boy, but there is an elevator at the end of the corridor, according to the location of the elevator in the hotel, it can probably be guessed that it is a VIP elevator, even if the two break in, they may still be intercepted in front of the elevator, even if they get on the elevator smoothly, they don't know where to go, even so, Feng Jianfei is not a person who will die easily, he controls his expression and tone: "Little classmate, we don't embarrass you, we are just curious, ask you, who has passed?"
"I don't know, I was just called by the foreman temporarily. ”
"Okay. Lin Hainan and Feng Jianfei could only turn around and leave, and retreated in the direction of the flow of people. But the two did not come out of nowhere.
After Lin Hainan took a few steps, he whispered to Feng Jianfei: "See? The elevator is moving, and it stopped at 18 and 23." ”
"Grass, it's amazing, my sea, my eyes are so good. Feng Jianfei also responded in a low voice: "That's the 18th and 23rd floors?
"Nope. 23 And after that he came down. ”
"We went up from the elevator over there and went our separate ways. Lin Hainan decisively proposed, but Feng Jianfei hesitated: "There is another possibility, these people have already left before ten o'clock." ”
Lin Hainan shook his head affirmatively, "No, I've been staring at the fluorescent number." ”
"Hmm. Good. Feng Jianfei followed the crowd to the elevator, took out his mobile phone, and said to Lin Hainan: "Check the signal and power of the mobile phone." I still have 50 percent. ”
Lin Hainan checked his mobile phone as he said: "End, I only have ten percent." ”
"No, you didn't charge it before you came, I have a power bank in my bag. Saying that, Feng Jianfei went to touch the bag on his back, and wanted to open the outermost zipper to get the power bank, at this time, the person next to him saw that the elevator was about to be full, so he squeezed forward, this squeezed, and knocked Feng Jianfei who took out the power bank sideways and didn't pay attention to the surroundings, Feng Jianfei de The mobile phone fell to the ground like this, and bounced on the carpet again, Feng Jianfei hurriedly stepped forward, just about to pick up the mobile phone, I didn't know who kicked it and ran out, Feng Jianfei hurriedly "Eh! I just bent down to pick it up, but everything fell out of the open school bag.
"I'm cao. Feng Jianfei couldn't help but be irritated and took off the schoolbag on his back first, and then went to pick up his mobile phone. But he heard Lin Hainan's voice behind him: "Sword Fly!"
When Feng Jianfei turned his head to look, he couldn't help but collapse a little, it turned out that Lin Hainan just lowered his head to check his mobile phone, and replied to a few WeChat messages, but he didn't notice that Feng Jianfei picked up his mobile phone, and was pushed by the people behind him and had already entered the elevator, if it wasn't for Lin Hainan's height being tall enough, Feng Jianfei might not be able to see Lin Hainan in that group of people.
Now that the elevator can't squeeze in, forget it, I haven't picked up anything anywhere, seeing the elevator door slowly closing, Feng Jianfei had to quickly pack up his things, and Lin Hainan's WeChat popped up on his mobile phone:
I went up to the 18th floor first.
Feng Jianfei replied helplessly: Okay. See you in the parking lot.
After sending WeChat, Feng Jianfei also hurriedly took the next elevator.
Lin Hainan went straight up to the 18th floor. The K. Wah Ballroom is on the 10th floor, and at this time, I thought that most of the people would go down, but the elevator went up first, and soon reached the 18th floor.
Lin Hainan was the only one who got off the elevator on the 18th floor.
Walking into the 18th floor, Lin Hainan knew why he was the only one on the 18th floor, Hongqiao Hotel has a total of 39 floors, the 20th floor is the guest room, the 18th and 19th floors are dining areas, and the 18th floor is the buffet area. After walking around the 18th floor a little, and sure enough, he found nothing, Lin Hainan turned around and left without hesitation, and decided to go to the 23rd floor.
Turning around and walking two steps, the staff of the cafeteria pushed the dining cart to meet him, Lin Hainan turned around, but unexpectedly this is not connected to the hall of the cafeteria, and then go inside, a bit similar to a warehouse, Lin Hainan was about to leave, but saw that there was also an elevator at the end, which should be an employee elevator.
The elevator was stopping on the 23rd floor, and Lin Hainan paused and watched the elevator descend to the first basement floor - the parking lot.
Seeing that no employees came in around, Lin Hainan walked to the side of the debris next to the elevator and hid, waiting for the elevator to come up.
Going down from the elevator to the first basement floor, a white van is parked diagonally opposite. The charter door of the van opened, revealing two safes inside. One big and one small, when they saw Lin Hainan coming out, the two men leaning on the car door straightened up in an instant, but after seeing that it was Lin Hainan, they leaned back on the car door again, but they stared at Lin Hainan with some vigilance.
Lin Hainan adjusted his expression and walked towards the F area where his car was located.
The two men pretended to pay attention to Lin Hainan's movements inadvertently, Lin Hainan pretended to have nothing, but sweat slowly broke out in his palms.
Lin Hainan recognized the two safes at a glance, they were specially used to hold the characteristics of cultural relics. Among the two safes, the big one is huge, and there is only one blue and white vertical porcelain vase of this specification in the whole auction, and the successful bidder of this auction item is No. 57, so guess, this is likely to be the car of the No. 57 bidder, then the other safe is either the No. 7 exhibit, the Yue kiln celadon, or the maid pottery figurines.
Out of the sight of the two men, Lin Hainan made a small circle and walked around to the diagonal back of the white van. Using a black sedan as a cover, Lin Hainan carefully observed the white van.
Soon, the door of the elevator opened again, and five men came out, except for the supporter of the auction just now, Lin Hainan didn't know any of them. Kazukaze was talking to a man in a gray suit, and his attitude was very respectful and sincere. Behind the man, followed by a man holding a safe, followed by two bodyguards in black suits.
The distance was a little far, Lin Hainan couldn't see the face of the man in the gray suit clearly, and saw an Audi slowly driving over, and the man in gray said goodbye to Hefeng and then got into the car and left with a bodyguard. Kazukaze looked at the white van on the safe, then turned around and took his car and left.
Lin Hainan stopped where he was and wrote down the license plate number of the white van. After the white van and Zephyr drove out, Lin Hainan walked out from behind the black car where he was hiding.
Walking to the place where the white van had parked before, Lin Hainan looked at the employee elevator in front of him, and estimated that Feng Jianfei would get down from the VIP elevator.
Standing in place, he took out his mobile phone and pondered asking Feng Jianfei to take the car and pick him up, and was about to send a WeChat message to ask Feng Jianfei's location, but suddenly the elevator door opened again.
Lin Hainan was shocked to realize that the location of the elevator entrance was not safe, and there was a possibility that the relevant personnel of the auction would appear anytime and anywhere.
However, what came out of the elevator was the waiter who had just stopped him and Feng Jianfei in the corridor outside the banquet hall!
The little waiter was a little flustered, hesitated when he saw Lin Hainan, and then raised the thing in his hand: "Sir, we found out in the banquet hall that you missed this!"
In order to protect the terracotta figurines, he carefully wrapped them in a small piece of tablecloth.
The little waiter hesitated a little: "Sir, is it yours?" Our foreman said that just get off the elevator and hand it over to the two men outside the elevator. The boy looked behind Lin Hainan and didn't see the second person, so he couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
Lin Nanjing walked directly past the terracotta figurines, wrapped them in cloth, looked into the other party's eyes and said sincerely: "Didn't we meet upstairs before, and my friend." He went to pick up the car. Just give me this thing. Saying that, in order to prevent the child in front of him from being held accountable, Lin Hainan thought about it, took out a business card from his wallet, and two hundred yuan: "It's not a lot of money, and I'll pay you for your hard work." Don't say no. If someone asks who took the figurines, ask them to confirm that someone from the Forbidden City Cultural Relics Restoration Working Group took it. Good work, go ahead. The money is collected by yourself."
The boy smiled embarrassedly and put away his business card: "The Forbidden City is very good at restoring cultural relics! I know, I'll go back and report to our foreman." ”
"Go ahead. Lin Hainan watched the little waiter walk into the elevator and go upstairs, feeling a little worried, but he was also a little sure, with Xigu's style, the people who stayed at the scene should be their own staff, and regardless of how this terracotta figurine fell, the foreman and waiter of the hotel should not be in the know, and they may not even know about the market auction held in the Jiahua Banquet Hall tonight. Lin Hainan bets that if the other party is an interstellar development group or another auctioneer, as long as the other party contacts the Forbidden City, the terracotta figurines will definitely be returned in a regular way, and if it is an oriental artifact, it may not be in direct contact with the Forbidden City. Either way, it wouldn't hurt the innocent waiter.
Thinking of this, Lin Hainan breathed a sigh of relief, put away the maid's pottery figurines, left without hesitation, stayed away from the location of the elevator, contacted Feng Jianfei, picked up the car and left.
This auction night is not completely fruitless, and the maid terracotta figurines are also a surprise.
