Chapter VII: Case Incident

15 minutes passed in a blink of an eye, Zheng Hanfei and Ouyang Xiu didn't think about it, and after that, Di Luo appeared on the stage, as Linda said, performed a wonderful magic trick for everyone, although it is often seen on TV, but seeing it performed by a teenager, everyone felt another kind of humor, and they burst into warm applause. Even Zheng Hanfei was no exception, he had to admit that Di Luo's magic talent was exceptionally good.

As the saying goes, seeing is believing, hearing is false, it seems that Zheng Hanfei still understands this truth.

"How much longer." Ouyang Xiu asked while clapping.

"One minute to go, and if nothing else, it's time for Uncle Sterling to appear." Zheng Hanfei glanced at the time, and then looked at the stage, where several staff members were moving large boxes, round tables and other performance props off the stage.

As soon as the words fell, Sterling walked to the front of the stage with a smile on his face, Diro and Katie stood on his left and right respectively, and their faces were also full of smiles, but Zheng Hanfei saw a trace of panic in their eyes when they saw Ouyang Xiu.

Is it scared? Or is it ...... Glancing at Ouyang Xiu, the other party shrugged helplessly, indicating that he didn't know what was going on.

"Hehe, it's almost time, let's invite tonight's protagonist - 'Tears of Hope'." Sterling said, holding the microphone in his hand.

Bang Bang Bang! There was a round of applause from the audience.

"Now, let our owner, my daughter, pick up the red cloth and show the true face of the 'Tears of Hope'." As she spoke, Sterling made an inviting gesture for Katie beside her, staring her eyes to the display shelf, motioning for her to hurry.

Katie nodded, and slowly walked to the display shelf, leaving everyone with a wonderful back.

“3!” Zheng Hanfei stared at the watch on his wrist and started the countdown, while Ouyang Xiu looked at the display shelf and made a good running action, once something happened, he could rush up as soon as possible.

“2!”

Katie walked over to the display stand.

“1!”

Katie grabbed the corner of the red cloth.

“0!”

Bang! At the moment when Katie lifted the red cloth, the lights on the venue suddenly turned off, and suddenly, the venue became pitch black.

Oops! Zheng Hanfei and Ouyang Xiu exclaimed at the same time, and the next moment, the two rushed to the stage quickly, but due to the darkness of the scene, the two bumped into many people, causing scolding from behind them, making the venue even more chaotic.

"Defend the system!" At this time, Sterling's voice came from the darkness, and immediately after, Zheng Hanfei and Ouyang Xiu saw a little red light appear somewhere on the stage.

Well done, I'll see how you steal! Zheng Hanfei shouted happily in his heart, and the next moment, the sound of the alarm and the crisp sound of breaking broke his thoughts, shattering the hopes of all those in the know.

Tick tick! Touch! Crash!

"Protect the gem!" Zheng Hanfei yelled and reminded Sterling, Diro and Katie, who were still on the stage, and then ran to the stage with all his strength, and at this moment, the lights in the venue turned on again.

"This ......" Zheng Hanfei's eyes shrank slightly, the scene in front of him was a mess, the red cloth covering the display shelf fell to the ground, Katie sat on the ground not far from the display shelf, gasping for breath, the bulletproof glass smashed a big hole from above, glass shards were all over the ground, and a hammer fell to the side of the display shelf, the most important thing is that the "Tears of Hope" have disappeared without a trace.

"Please calm down!" Ouyang Xiu glanced at the scene on the stage, turned around and shouted to everyone in the audience, "There was an accident, we are very surprised, but please cooperate with us, first stand in place and do not move, the security guard at the door will block all exits and prevent all people from entering and leaving." ”

"Don't do what he says!" Looking at the indifferent security guard, Sterling was furious and yelled.

Hearing the manager's words, still full of anger, all the security guards immediately took action, and the actions that would have taken a long time were actually shortened by them alive, which made Ouyang Xiu couldn't help but admire how majestic Sterling was.

"Young master, are you alright?" Uncle Wang rushed onto the stage, and when he saw the silent Zheng Hanfei, he was a little worried, and he couldn't help but speak up.

Zheng Hanfei ignored Uncle Wang, walked up to Katie, squatted down, reached out and grabbed her clothes, stared at her with anger, and shouted: "Tell me, where is the gem!" ”

"What gems? I do not know? Katie was obviously frightened by Zheng Hanfei's actions, her eyes were filled with tears, and she said weakly.

"Don't play dumb with me! You are the most suspicious! Zheng Hanfei continued to roar, it seems that the "Tears of Hope" was stolen, which made him angry, no wonder, the promise he had sworn before would not be stolen was now stolen, which made Zheng Hanfei embarrassed.

"Then you search!" Katie also recovered from the shock and yelled at Zheng Hanfei, "I don't have any gems on my body at all!" Without evidence, you don't want to spew blood! ”

"You ......"

"Young Master, don't be impulsive!" Uncle Wang stopped in time, "She is right, you have no evidence, you can't wronged people." Calm down! Otherwise you won't be able to find out who the real thief is! ”

"Your assistant is right!" Ouyang Xiu said on the side: "The way you are now, you are not suitable for reasoning at all, it is better to calm down and investigate the scene." Don't forget, our bet is still valid, so if you don't want to lose your reputation, go for it. ”

After speaking, Ouyang Xiu turned around and walked off the stage to see if everyone in the audience was suspected of committing a crime.

"I'll definitely find it! Uncle Wang, gloves, let's go! Yelling at Katie, Zheng Hanfei took a deep breath, let go of his hand, took it and put on his gloves, and walked to the messy display stand.

Ouyang Xiu, don't worry, I will definitely win the bet and I won't let you down! Zheng Hanfei smiled full of fighting spirit, and the previous confident smile appeared on his face again.

……

"Uncle Wang! Do you think it was the hammer that hit it? Zheng Hanfei picked up the hammer that fell to the ground and asked.

"Yes, in that case, the thief should not bring such a dangerous thing with him, otherwise it will affect his mobility and even reveal his identity."

"Use this kind of hammer to ......," Zheng Hanfei estimated the weight of the hammer, "If you want to smash bulletproof glass and smash it through, it takes a lot of force, so one thing is certain, the other party's strength is very strong!" ”

"But, young master, in this case, it is impossible for everyone present to commit a crime. It is impossible for children and women to have that kind of strength, and there are no large, muscular people on the scene. ”

"Ahh Zheng Hanfei nodded, frowning slightly. Don't...... Is the object of his suspicion really wrong this time? Didn't Katie commit the crime? But outsiders?

Wait a minute? What is that? Suddenly, Zheng Hanfei saw something strange on the bulletproof glass, the color of which was similar to the bulletproof glass fragments, so he stretched out his finger and dipped it a little.

"This is ......" Zheng Hanfei first looked at it, and found that it was actually liquid, so he stepped forward to smell it, but there was no smell, and then said in surprise, "Water droplets?" ”

Wait a minute! How did the drops end up here? At this moment, Zheng Hanfei seemed to have grasped an important clue, thought for a while, suddenly stood up, ran to the position of the red cloth, unfolded the red cloth with some folds, looked at the light, and found that there was a liquid-like trace in the center of the red cloth.

Finally...... Found me! Zheng Hanfei smiled slightly. He finally understood this technique, which could make a man who was not full of muscles, or even a woman and a child, smash bulletproof glass with a single blow.

Really! Zheng Hanfei patted his head a little angrily, he didn't expect that he was really carried away by anger, he didn't expect such a simple truth, it seems that the sentence that no emotion is allowed in the reasoning is not wrong at all.

"Young Master, what have you discovered?" Uncle Wang asked curiously.

"A useful clue!" Zheng Hanfei smiled, "By the way, Uncle Wang, you will step down and help me ask something later." ”

"Okay. By the way, young master......"

"What's wrong?"

"Ouyang Xiu told me the results of the examination just now."

"Oh? The result? ”

"There were no gems on anyone present, including Mr. Sterling, Master Diro, and Miss Cady."

"What?! How is this possible?! ”

"And Ouyang Xiu was afraid that he would miss it, so he deliberately searched for the place where he could hide in the venue with a few security guards, not to mention the gems, he didn't find any dust."

How so? Zheng Hanfei's heart began to wonder again, if everyone didn't have gems, then it could only mean that it was an outsider who committed the crime, so since it was an outsider who committed the crime, why did he use this method? Is it deliberately induced? Or did that person not exist at all, but was just a deliberate inducement by a thief.

"By the way, Uncle Wang, Ouyang Xiu didn't say that there were any suspicious characters who escaped?"

"Nope!" Uncle Wang shook his head, "Ouyang Xiu said that he dared to guarantee that absolutely no one escaped. ”

"Hmm!" Zheng Hanfei nodded, since Ouyang Xiu dared to guarantee that the thief was still in the venue, what he needed now was to find out the thief and find out the whereabouts of the gem.
