At this critical moment, the reason why Su Heng let the two of them leave was actually a kind of protection for the two.

And he didn't want to doubt the people around him.

But the problem is that with the murderer's ability to make human skin masks and disguise others, it is difficult not to suspect it.

Even the two of them will be more dangerous when they are around him.

The next night, the black market was held as scheduled.

In fact, this black market deal had already been set before, and the strange statue was only added temporarily, and a lot of publicity was done to at least ensure that the murderer would get the news.

Su Heng did not doubt this.

Three years ago, the other party entered the ancient tomb and killed all the personnel, although there was not a single unearthed cultural relic recorded, but it was not unearthed, or it had not had time to register?

Unfortunately, all the archaeologists involved at that time were killed, and nothing was found from the working diaries they left.

But he could basically conclude that the other party must have gone for something in the ancient tomb.

Coupled with some of the information provided by Tang Jiuge before, the agent of the Seventh National Affairs Department broke into an organization that smuggled antiques and cultural relics abroad, so the other party would definitely know all about the various black markets in China and the auction items that appeared.

Extrapolating in this way, the possibility of the other party getting the news is not far from ten.

The other party's original purpose was to track down that strange statue, and now that an identical one suddenly appears in the black market, how will he react?

Even if he was 100% convinced that the statue in his hand was real, what if another one appeared?

After all, this kind of thing is not impossible, at least from the photo that Tang Jiuge found, it can be proved that there is definitely more than one thing.

In this case, even if the other party is half-convinced, and even guesses that it may be a trap for himself, with his conceited character, he will definitely go.

This is actually a contest between Su Heng and the murderer, a duel.

"Will the murderer really come?"

In a box on the second floor, Zhang Guowei stood in front of the one-way glass, watching the scene on the first floor.

This is a specially renovated venue, with more than a dozen boxes on the second floor, which can be condescendingly seen clearly on the first floor stage, and usually only have enough status to enter.

The first floor, too, has been specially designed, with rows of wide sofas half-surrounding the stage, each sofa is large enough to seat three people, and the middle of the sofa is also blocked by high armrests, and there are special numbers corresponding to the sofas.

In addition, there is also an LCD monitor, which clearly introduces the things in this auction, as well as the quotation, as long as you fancy something, you can make an offer, and the identity is completely confidential in the process, so you don't have to worry about being known by others.

"It's definitely coming."

Su Heng had a strong sense of self-confidence, especially when he was standing here, he was even more sure that the murderer would definitely come.

As for Zhang Guowei's arrival, it is also an inevitability, mainly to prevent the situation from getting out of control.

"You already know what the murderer looks like?" Zhang Guowei couldn't help but ask.

This question was had when Su Heng left, and he didn't have the opportunity to ask it until now.

"Does it matter?" Su Heng said.

"Doesn't it matter?" Zhang Guowei asked rhetorically.

In fact, in Su Heng's opinion, it really doesn't matter what the murderer looks like, even if he knows his true face? With his ability, he can completely change his face and walk in with a swagger.

That's why he needed a bait, and the statue was the bait he used to catch the murderer.

Zhang Guowei is not stupid, after all, he has long known that the murderer can make human skin masks, and the question just now is just a question that has accumulated in his heart, or rather, it is a temptation.

And he seems to be talking about the murderer, but why not the statue?

This thing can't just come out of nowhere, right? Obviously, this is the key to the murderer's killing.

The question is, how did Su Heng know? Is it the same as the portrait of Cai Chunxiang when he first painted?

What about an accident, two, three times?

I'm afraid it's an inevitability.

In other words, Su Heng really has the ability to talk to dead people.

Maybe that's where the Mystery Squad comes in? Zhang Guowei thought silently in his heart.

When Zhang Guowei was distracted, the following auction also officially began.

Compared with those big international auction houses, tens of millions, or even more than 100 million transaction prices, this kind of black market auction of more than one million is rare, after all, even if the thing is genuine, but the source is a big problem, most things are not visible.

And this kind of thing is often the favorite of those international cultural relics smuggling groups, even if it is not easy to sell in China, but as long as you go out for a turn, you can solve the problem of their origin, after all, there are too many cultural relics that were robbed back then, and there is no way to count them.

When the time comes, open a certificate, and then hype, you can sell it to those local tyrant players in China at ten or a hundred times the price.

The auction proceeded in an orderly manner, and after half an hour, it was finally the turn of the statue.

The auctioneer is an old man in his sixties, wearing a Tang coat and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and even after half an hour of foaming at the mouth, he is still full of energy.

"Some people have questioned the authenticity of this thing before, after all, there is no existence of this thing in all known documents, but just today, the owner of the statue provided a photo, please identify."

Song Hui said, and a black and white photo immediately appeared on the big screen behind him, even on the LCD screen in front of each sofa, so that everyone could see this photo clearly.

"Everyone, please see, the time on the photo is September 6, 1958, almost 60 years ago, as for the authenticity of the photo, we have asked experts to identify, so you can rest assured that this is a thing with a history and research value."

I have to say that Song Hui's voice is very demagogic, especially the control of people's hearts and rhythm, and he is a master.

And this photo, naturally provided by Su Heng, is enough to make this bait look even more attractive.

"Old Song, hurry up, stop talking nonsense."

"Just tell me how much it is, I want something."

In the audience, many people who were originally only slightly interested in this photo have become determined to get it.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, the thing is here, and it won't run away, and the owner of this thing has made a small request, as long as everyone present can say the name of this thing, and the origin, you can get this thing for free.

If no one knows, then the auction will continue as usual, and the highest bidder will win. ”

Song Hui's words caused an uproar again.

(Some people threatened me that no matter how many chapters there were, they would have to be updated together, what should I do?) ）
