Chapter 156: A Unique Mark
Re-aligning with the target, I squinted my eyes, the heavy glass lattice reflected the dazzling light under the clear sky, and if that "crystal" is really important to you, let me do my best.
Without hesitation, I pressed the trigger, and the bullet sped away with swift force.
There was a crisp sound, shattering a mirror-like light, and it also caused the surrounding people to exclaim, as if I heard the sound of glass shards cutting the strings, and the slight stinging was also pleasant.
The power is good, the accuracy is just right, looking at the wreckage of the violin that has been mixed with broken glass in the distance, the shocked eyes from far and near have invariably hit me, and I handed the gun to the assistant, who was already stunned and stunned on the side, I calmly said: "Let's go, let's go." ”
However, before I could make a move, I looked back and saw that Zosi had already hurried over.
The proper smile was gone, and his face was dark, and he did not distinguish between joy and anger, but the slight hurried pace made me suddenly startled.
In the next moment, he came up to me, grabbed my shoulders with both hands, and looked me up and down sharply, "Are you okay?" Did it hurt you? ”
Sure enough, he was only a beginner in using a gun, and he was not used to it, so he missed and shot somewhere else, but he didn't mention the sky-high violin that I had broken, but he cared about whether I was injured or not, which surprised me.
"Young master, it's a dereliction of duty on the part of your subordinates." When this happened, the assistant knew that he could not escape the responsibility, so he lowered his head and listened to the disposal.
However, Zosi ignored him, still staring at me, his eager gaze as if to see me inside and out.
"That 'crystal' ......," I said softly.
"Leave it alone," he said, pulling me into his arms, as if relieved, "whatever is damaged, as long as you're okay...... It's all my fault. You shouldn't have been left alone, but luckily, it didn't hurt you......"
He leaned into my ear and whispered incessantly, as if comforting me as comforting himself, except for Jossi, if only you knew that I would have wanted to let a bullet go through your chest like this for a moment. Even now, the hatred for you continues to urge me to put you to death, if you knew, would you still react like this?
At this moment, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Mr. Nicholas arriving at the scene when he heard the news, and the situation could not allow me to delay any longer, so I left his chest and motioned to the wreckage-strewn not far away, "We should go and see ......"
Zoshi nodded. He took my hand at my side and walked towards Nicholas.
When we arrived at the scene, there was already a crowd of whispering onlookers, and Nicholas saw us, his face was quite embarrassed, "Mr. Furcmens, this ......"
I looked down at my feet, and there were shards of broken glass everywhere. Hidden among the well-built grass, it is a sign of a crushing catastrophe that has just been experienced. However, compared to the glass shards, the violin can be said to be slightly better off because of the addition of a layer of barrier, and the body is scattered everywhere, and it looks like it is only broken into four or five pieces.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Nicholas, but don't worry. This incident was caused by Ruori's carelessness, and all losses are borne by me. Zosi put on a calm and determined posture in front of people, but he was obviously responsible.
I slowly crouched down, picked up a piece of violin wreckage, and took it in my hand to look at it carefully. It has to be said that it is well-made, luxurious and exquisite, fully reflects the superb craftsmanship of the luthier, and the wood and lacquer of the piano are excellent.
Suddenly, there was a slight commotion in the crowd, and I looked up to see that it was the main owner.
The handsome and dignified Shang Xun walked calmly, his footsteps could not be said to be fast or slow, and the crowd naturally showed a passage, and after a while, he stood in front of us.
Before the two could speak, I got up slowly, and instead of throwing away the wreckage in my hand, I smiled at him and said, "Sorry, Mr. Stewart, I broke your piano." ”
It wasn't anger or hostility that awaited me, nor any other reaction, but a little confusion gradually piled up on my face as I watched as I took it for granted.
Xu was my insincere apology that made him smell something unusual, but he was not in a hurry to make a statement, his eyes slowly fell on the wreckage I was holding onto, and the next moment, he reached out to take it.
Even if he attaches so much importance to "crystal", how can Shang Jingyi know so little about it? I firmly believe that others will know the details that they may not know.
Sure enough, Shang Xunyu looked at the fragment of the neck in his hand, and his eyebrows gradually tightened.
"Mr. Stewart," Nicholas stepped forward and came to him, and said in a deep voice, "I am sorry, but Miss Furcmings is also unintentional, and is willing to bear all your losses, and I beg you not to pursue this matter further, for my sake." ”
I sneered in my heart, this insidious and cunning profiteer, it is clear that he is the one who reaps the benefits, but he still has to pretend to be an innocent and pure good person, which is really disgusting.
"Mr. Nicholas," Shang asked in a rather puzzled manner, rather than answering his question, "you just said that your collection is a rare and unique treasure that has been handed down to the world by Mr. Sillow, right?" ”
Somewhat inexplicable, Nicholas nodded, "Yes, I can guarantee it myself." ”
"So, did Mr. Nicholas know that when the 'crystal' was auctioned at Sotheby's, that is, when it was auctioned by the Chinese entrepreneur, several senior experts from Sotheby's had appraised it?"
"Oh...... Really? Perhaps sensing that something was wrong, Nicholas's tone gradually began to become unnatural.
Shang Xun hooked his lips and smiled, under this unstoppable evil smile, I saw the fierceness and cruelty of the submersion, but a burst of pleasure arose in my heart.
"According to the experts, the real 'crystal' has characteristics other than what Mr. Nicholas just talked about at the auction, in fact, there is another point......" he paused, and his tone became more and more light-hearted, "that is, on the inside of the 'crystal', where the neck meets the body, Mr. Shilow engraved her name 'Irene' in memory of his wife who died young." Of all the violins he made, this 'crystal' is the only one that bears such a symbol, because the 'crystal' was made on the tenth anniversary of the death of Mr. Schillo's wife, so it has a special significance, and because of this unique and very secret mark, the world is rarely known...... Mr. Nicholas, I'm sorry," he said, lifting the wreckage of the neck in his hand so that everyone present could see it clearly, "I can't find the slightest trace of that feature of your 'crystal'......"
