Chapter 3 Gambling
"You two better settle down a bit." Sterling took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Don't let outsiders know about the threatening letter, otherwise it is likely to cause panic before the exhibition." ”
"Got it!" The two replied in unison, after all, it was just someone else's territory, and the two of them knew what to do.
"Okay, I still have something to do, let's go first, and ask Linda if you have any questions." Sterling smiled apologetically, then quickly disappeared from their sight.
"Excuse me, is there a locker room here?" Ouyang Xiu asked Linda, "I want to change my clothes." ”
"Yo, you still have self-knowledge." Zheng Hanfei said sarcastically, "I thought you would wear this dress to the exhibition." ”
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough not to know what kind of clothes to wear to the exhibition, so as not to be as shabby as some people wear."
"You ......"
"Just kidding." Ouyang Xiu smiled slightly, then followed Linda to the dressing room and disappeared into the exhibition venue.
Ouyang Xiu...... The name sounds familiar, where have you heard it? Zheng Hanfei lowered his head and pondered, except for the name that felt familiar, when he saw him for the first time, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart, as if he had known him for a long time.
"Uncle Wang, have you ever heard of this name?" After thinking about it for a long time, Zheng Hanfei didn't have a clue, so he had to ask Uncle Wang out loud, wanting to get some useful clues from him.
"I think he seemed to be quite famous." Uncle Wang thought for a while and said, "He has solved many cases in Japan, France, Britain and many other countries, among which the famous case he solved was the murder case of the French royal family in the secret room that made all French detectives dumb at that time. ”
"I remember!" Zheng Hanfei patted his head, looking suddenly realized, "No wonder this name sounds so familiar." ”
"Well, it's just that after a long time, this case has gradually been forgotten by the Huaxia people, so the bodyguards at the door didn't recognize him."
"Humph! Didn't I solve that case too? Zheng Hanfei pursed his lips disdainfully, "If I hadn't been sick at that time, I wouldn't have let him get this credit." ”
"Pretty confident, do you need to make a bet?" Ouyang Xiu walked slowly, wearing a formal suit for the banquet, with a smile on his face all the time, his blue eyes were like a jewel, exuding a unique charm, and with his silver-gray hair, he attracted the young women around him. This outfit is not at all reminiscent of the teenager who fought with the security guard at the door before.
"Bet? Let's talk about how to gamble. Zheng Hanfei smiled evilly, although his clothes were a little shabby, but he himself was good-looking, and with his unconvincing spirit, a unique charm gradually emerged on his body.
"Just bet on this case and see who can stop it from happening."
"Oh~ what's the stake?"
"If you lose, then I want your reputation."
"You know me?" Zheng Hanfei narrowed his eyes, wanting to see through Ouyang Xiu's true thoughts.
"Don't underestimate yourself, you have a great reputation." Ouyang Xiu touched his silver-gray hair, and there was a gleam in his eyes, "At least in Japan, there are many people who know that you solved the billionaire kidnapping case that made the Japanese detectives dumb. This means that your reasoning skills are no worse than mine. ”
"Okay, I can agree, but you have to talk about the consequences of your defeat first, right?"
"I lose, I'll give you a chance, a chance that all young people will envy."
"Sounds tempting? What exactly are you talking about as an opportunity? ”
"I'll talk about it when you win."
"Then I'll wait until then."
"Good!" Ouyang Xiu smiled slightly, turned his head and asked Linda, "Miss Linda, I want to ask you a question, why is there no camera installed in this venue?" ”
Zheng Hanfei's body trembled slightly, according to Ouyang Xiu's question, he finally understood what he felt was wrong before, that is, the venue of Nuo University, but there was no shadow of a camera, not even a pinhole camera, as if he was blatantly stealing from the other party.
"Well, the manager's child said that he believed in Mr. Zheng Hanfei very much, so he didn't install a camera."
He really can afford me, anyway, we didn't see each other at all. Zheng Hanfei smiled helplessly, but it was too late to say anything, after all, the exhibition was about to start, and the exhibition could not be delayed because of the installation of cameras.
"Hey, how did you make such a mistake at this critical moment." At this moment, the sound of an argument coming from the display stand attracted the attention of the two men, and when they heard the voice, a stocky middle-aged man was scolding a thin young man, and from time to time he pointed to the display stand.
"What happened?" Linda immediately rushed to ask.
"Miss Linda." The middle-aged man said angrily, "When this person installed these miniature spotlights, he somehow broke them, so none of the spotlights are lit up now." ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The young man bowed his head and apologized, "I will make compensation accordingly." ”
"Can you afford it?" The middle-aged man scolded violently, "This is an exhibition held by the manager, if you do this, the manager will be discredited, and in the end you can only be fired." ”
"Ahh This is not good, I still have to support my family. The young man looked very nervous, grabbed Linda's hand, and cried, "Miss Linda, please don't let the manager fire me." ”
"Alright, alright!" Linda comforted, "It's too late to say anything, I'll tell the manager about this, so please rest assured." ”
"Thank you."
……
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Zheng Hanfei's face was not quite right, Uncle Wang asked with concern.
"It always feels like something isn't quite right."
"Young Master, with all due respect, I think that since you know Ouyang Xiu's identity, you have become suspicious, which is not good for reasoning and analysis."
"Nope! I didn't! Zheng Hanfei narrowed his eyes, "Don't you think, from 6 pm to now, too many incredible things have happened in the exhibition hall, it seems that this is really the elf in Acheron who is doing trouble." ”
"Young Master......"
"Hehe, Uncle Wang, don't take what you just said to heart." Zheng Hanfei covered his head and said with a smile, "Maybe I'm really a little suspicious." ”
"Young master, don't you need me to find you a hat, always doing this will hurt your brain." A trace of worry flashed in Uncle Wang's eyes.
"No!" Zheng Hanfei looked angry and shouted loudly, startling everyone around him, while Ouyang Xiu looked at the two of them with a puzzled look.
"I'll go take a rest, Uncle Wang, you better collect the information I requested." Whispering, Zheng Hanfei covered his head and walked out of the exhibition hall, leaving Uncle Wang with a worried face and Ouyang Xiu with a contemplative bow.
"Could it be...... Is that letter true? In that case, why don't I feel that way about him......" Ouyang Xiu stood in place and muttered to himself for a while, then glanced at Uncle Wang, turned around and left the exhibition venue.
……
Stop, stop me!
Zheng Hanfei kept shouting in his heart, but the effect backfired, and the pain in his head became more and more intense, almost making Zheng Hanfei faint several times.
Zheng Hanfei ran all the way, he didn't know where he should go, he just wanted to keep running, so along the way, he didn't know how many people he encountered, so he was behind him, screaming and scolding.
In the end, Zheng Hanfei ran to the bathroom, locked the door casually, sat on the toilet, gasping for breath, but his body twitched from time to time, which showed that he endured great pain.
Why? Why are you doing this?
Zheng Hanfei gritted his teeth and kept thinking about this sentence repeatedly, as if he was asking someone and asking himself.
Time passed quickly, but his pain showed no sign of subsiding, and faintly, two figures gradually appeared in Zheng Hanfei's mind, one of them was slender, and the other was skinny, he wanted to see their faces clearly, but it caused another sharp pain in his head.
Hate him, he made you like this, you don't need feelings, you don't need sunshine, you're just a dark shadow.
This sentence kept responding in his mind, making his body's convulsions even more intense, as if this sentence was a curse, a curse that Zheng Hanfei couldn't break free from for the rest of his life.
"Shut up!" Zheng Hanfei said two words from his mouth lightly, and then the pain in his head gradually weakened, his forehead stopped sweating, his body stopped twitching, and everything was developing in a good direction.
"Huh~" After a long time, Zheng Hanfei exhaled, his brows moved slightly, he slowly opened his eyes, took a general look at the surrounding scene, and then lowered his head and fell into contemplation.
Why did you suddenly have a headache this time, and who were the two figures just now? What's the deal with that voice?
Suddenly, many unanswerable questions popped up, and no matter how smart Zheng Hanfei was, it was impossible to solve them in a short time.
Forget it, let's think about these things later, and solve the things in front of us first. Scratching his head in annoyance, Zheng Hanfei walked out of the bathroom, after such a long time, he should listen to the information that Uncle Wang collected for him, hoping that these information can have some clues for unlocking the identity of the elves in Acheron.
