At the same time that Wu Xufeng and I were fighting, several leaders of the Hedong City Cultural Relics Bureau also went out of their way because the staff found that the warehouse where the keel was stored had been stolen when they went to work in the morning.

In recent years, surveillance cameras are flying all over the sky, anti-theft systems are also very advanced, and the Dashi Cultural Relics Bureau is on duty 24 hours a day. But the theft of cultural relics happened so quietly, and it happened very strangely.

The surveillance system did not capture the thief at all, but at two o'clock in the morning, the picture suddenly snowed for about two minutes, and when the staff in the monitoring room was about to check, the entire surveillance screen returned to normal. Other than that, the doors and windows were all in order, and the security guards patrolled and did not find any suspicious people in the vicinity.

The thing was lost for no reason, and it disappeared so quietly, until the staff found it this morning, and then the entire Cultural Relics Bureau fryed.

If it is normal to lose gold and silver, it is understandable to lose a few cultural relics, but this room full of gold and silver cultural relics has not moved, but only a brass box that was put in just yesterday was lost.

This brass box was cleaned from the Japanese truck that pulled the keel, and it was lost before it could be opened and looked at when it was brought back, and it was so bizarre and so weird.

This is undoubtedly annoying, but also a headache, from the director of the Cultural Relics Bureau to the cleaning, there is no one who is not troubled.

In addition to the people from the Cultural Relics Bureau, there are two people who are worried about this matter, one is the manager of the security company in charge of the security work of the Cultural Relics Bureau, and the other is Shi Qiang.

Shi Qiang had just arranged for someone to deal with the matter on my side one second, and the next second the instructions from the leaders of the city bureau came, asking him to quickly set up a task force to go to the Cultural Relics Bureau to investigate the theft of cultural relics. Shi Qiang had a headache, he couldn't understand why he couldn't get around the troubles of the Cultural Relics Bureau during this time.

……

After the six people were arrested, Wu Xufeng and I quickly returned to the store, and when we saw Liu Rumei, we knew that so much was going on outside.

In addition, Liu Rumei also brought a new news, saying that an auction over there in the antique city was going to auction some things, and one of them was very similar to the bead we were taking.

She brought back an invitation card, with several antique photos on it, and there were text notes next to the porcelain calligraphy and paintings, but the thing that was very similar to the bead in our hand was not only very blurry, but also had no text information next to it, but could only roughly look more like the bead in our hand.

Liu Rumei suspected that someone was going to use the auction to do something, so she came over and asked me what to do.

"Something?" I was a little puzzled and said: "What else can this do, even if they take out the real thing and sell it, they can't explain anything, besides, we have seen this bead, how can other people know what it looks like, is this play for us to see?" ”

Liu Rumei shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I think it's okay for us to go and have a look." ”

I frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Okay, I just can't see it, I suspect it's Qiao Er's conspiracy." ”

"Qiao Er?" Liu Rumei also thought for a moment and said, "It's possible, after all, he has been looking for that thing, and he looks like he is bound to get it, maybe he really knows what that bead is." ”

I followed her words: "Come out on leave, and test whether we know each other, and find out if we have taken the bead." ”

Liu Rumei frowned and said, "But since then, isn't the circle a little big, and come directly to us to see if it's different?" ”

I shook my head: "It's different, let's go to the door and ask directly, then we will be on guard, so it's better to turn around and take the opportunity to observe us." ”

Liu Rumei still frowned, and said, "It's complicated, but let's go and take a look, after all, the invitations have been received." ”

"Uh-huh."

……

In the afternoon, Liu Rumei and I went to the auction as scheduled.

There were a lot of people attending the event, and I heard that they had been receiving invitations for a while, which seemed to confirm their ideas even more.

I asked, "Koyanagi, when did you get that invitation?" ”

Liu Rumei didn't think about it, and replied: "Morning, I also think it's strange, why didn't this invitation be sent to the store, but directly sent back to the Cultural Relics Bureau." ”

I then asked, "Is it only ours?" ”

Liu Rumei said: "I really don't know this, the uncle in the communication room only gave it to us." ”

"Hmm." I didn't understand, looked at the people who were seated one after another, turned to Liu Rumei and said, "No matter, let's find a seat first." ”

"Hmm."

……

I found two seats in the back and sat down with Liu Rumei. Because the people at the scene were very chaotic and I couldn't hear what was being discussed, I had to go back and forth with Liu Rumei to look for any suspicious characters in the crowd, but I didn't find anything.

The auction began quickly, and the process was not detailed, and the auction was carried out step by step.

In fact, there are still a lot of doorways in the auction, and the auction price is completely controllable, and the auction house will generally place a number of its own people in the audience.

The task of these people is to prevent the auction from going unsuccessful, or to raise the price when the bid is too low, or to act in time to prevent losing money when the price does not meet psychological expectations.

In today's auction, none of them were unsold, and there was no phenomenon of low prices, which seems to have been done by the auction house in advance.

Knowing the doorway, I have lost interest in these auction items, and I am not a collector, so the most I can do here is to pick up a leak, and now I find that there is no leak to pick up, so I naturally have no interest.

Liu Rumei rarely seemed to participate in such activities, and watched others bid with great interest, met a beautiful collection, and asked me if I wanted to participate in the bidding. She saw that I was not interested, and when she asked why, she gave up.

"That's really not fun." Liu Rumei complained after listening to me finish talking about the doorway inside.

I shook my head and said, "People are also open to do business, so you can't lose money." ”

Liu Rumei continued to sigh: "That's what I said, no wonder I didn't see anyone who missed it at the auction." ”

I continued: "It's not nothing, it's just rare, provided that the organizer of that auction doesn't play tricks." ”

……

Just as the two of us were chatting, the main person we were concerned about arrived, and before the things were picked up, the host began to lay the groundwork.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today's finale begins...... This is a very special lot, we don't have any specific information about it, we only know that it is made of natural glass, and the appearance is very beautiful as you can see......"

Just as the host Balabala narrated, the details of the bead had already appeared on the screen on the field, and a dark red bird on the red glass surface was about to fly, exactly like the one we brought back from the lonely mountain.

Liu Rumei looked a little distracted, I hurriedly patted her arm secretly, she immediately understood, lowered her head and asked in a low voice, "Do you think this is fake?" ”

I whispered, "It's all the same, let's observe first, don't be caught by the tail." ”

Liu Rumei and I turned our attention back to the stage, and at this time, the container containing the beads had been lifted, and in the square glass box, a round glass bead was displayed in front of everyone.

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, which basically overshadowed the voice of the host on the stage. I paid close attention to it, and most of the people were asking what this thing was, and some people who didn't know how to pretend to understand were talking nonsense.

Liu Rumei also frowned when she heard this, but her eyes did not leave the bead on the stage. The real thing is in her hand, and the things on the stage, whether real or fake, are exactly the same as hers, and it is inevitable to be surprised.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you can now come to the stage to inspect the treasure, please follow the previous rules to start from this row and come forward to taste the ...... one row at a time."

The host began to invite the audience to come up to the stage to take a closer look, and the rows of people watched unhurriedly, and they didn't find anything wrong.

When it was Liu Rumei's turn and me, the two of us also went up with everyone to take a look, of course, we didn't show anything unusual, just left after reading it like everyone else.

While everyone present was still struggling with what this was, the host on stage had already begun to prepare an offer.

"This collection currently has no name, and it has never appeared on the market, but compared with a natural glass bead auctioned before the XX auction in France, and another natural glass bead auctioned at the XXXX auction in Switzerland, after being evaluated by authoritative sources, the starting price is set at 500,000 yuan, and the minimum price increase is 10,000 ......."

The host on the stage continued to speak, and the discussion from the audience once again overshadowed the stage.

"The price is not low, I can't figure out anything, is there anyone bidding at such a high price?"

"Who said it wasn't ......"

"What do you know, come and see my phone, this is the ...... I just searched"

"I wipe ...... No way? Those two beads shoot so high? ”

"Yes, the point is that those two beads plus one are not as big as this ......"

"This thing is also a big deal......

"Uh...... You don't think pearls are expensive, and so are these things......"

"Then will this thing be sold today?"

"Then I don't know, anyway, I think it's definitely a big leak to fall below this number......"

"Then why don't you shoot it, why do you say it?"

"I don't have any money, you have to borrow me points, and you will earn your red ......"

"Cut ......"

……

In order to quiet the audience, the host on the stage has struck the gong three times one after another, but the result is still ineffective, and the audience is still in chaos. In the end, I had no choice, so I simply added a talent show temporarily, just to wait for the people in the audience to quiet down.

After the talent show, the host returned to the stage and announced the start of the bidding.

"Starting at 500,000 yuan, start to increase the price now......"

The audience immediately fell silent, waiting to see who would be the first to bid, but I suddenly heard a familiar voice: "5 million!" ”
