Chapter 304: Black Whirlwind
The change happened so quickly that many people didn't react. After a short silence www.biquge.info pen ~ fun ~ pavilion, bursts of uneasy screams sounded in the exhibition hall, the crowd dispersed, and the whole scene became a mess. Faced with this situation, the guards did not panic, and while comforting the people in the exhibition hall to stay calm, they quickly lit the torches around them, and the lighting was restored in a very short time.
Qiushui hurried into the exhibition hall, just in time to see the book of Yan Boshu there to count the treasures and check if they were missing. He took a few steps forward, then asked in a deep voice, "How's it going?"
"There's a glass phoenix hairpin missing. He frowned.
At this time, Chen Min also rushed over, and as soon as he heard that there was a treasure stolen, he immediately ordered: "Block all the entrances and exits, gather the tourists in the exhibition hall, and investigate them one by one, and the thief must be caught." ”
At this moment, there are many people standing outside the Shuibo Temple, waiting to enter the museum. Since early in the morning, they have been queuing up here, and they have been waiting until now, just to enter the exhibition hall to have a look. Seeing that it was about to be his turn, who knew that the door was closed. All of a sudden, the invective poured in like a flood, and even if the guards patiently explained, it still had no effect.
On the other hand, after a close investigation and search of all the tourists in the hall, the whereabouts of the glazed phoenix hairpin were still not found, as if it had evaporated in this world. Moreover, Qiushui went back and forth, carefully checked three times, and did not find the suspicious man among the hundreds of tourists. There were so many guards in the hall, and most of the treasures were fixed on the stage through hooks, how did he manage to get out of it in such a short period of time? Qiushui frowned, feeling puzzled and annoyed by his carelessness.
All in all, the first day of the show ended hastily. The stolen glazed phoenix hairpin was specially brought by the Ice Emperor from the Snow Country for this exhibition, and its value is so expensive that it is jaw-dropping. Haodong issued an order to use all his strength to find the thief and recover the glazed phoenix hairpin while ensuring that the theft did not happen again.
That night, Chen Min, Qiushui and others got together to discuss the next action.
"Black Whirlwind?" Qiushui turned his head, obviously very unfamiliar with the name.
"Yes, the Black Whirlwind is a well-known thief gang who has been secretive and clever enough to amass a fortune by successfully winning at similar fairs many times. But to this day, no one knows who they really are. I suspect that they were the ones who stole the glazed phoenix hairpin this time. Chen Min nodded.
"So, this matter has nothing to do with the black-clothed organization?" Zhu Jue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the cold face of the nihilistic son appeared in his mind. He really didn't want to deal with such a dangerous person.
"According to the information we have so far, the Black Order is only interested in four legendary treasures, and it is impossible for them to do such petty theft. Of course, it is also possible that they are deliberately trying to distract us. But then the risk is too great, and I don't think they would be so reckless. ”
"Then what should I do, will the black whirlwind come again, do you need my help?" Lin Lin frowned. Because of her pregnancy, out of many considerations, Chen Min did not arrange any work for her, which made her feel a little dissatisfied, and she complained many times in front of Qiushui. "Don't underestimate me, I'm pretty good!" she would say to Qiushui every time.
"Not really. Based on past experience, they certainly won't stop there. But next time...... They're not that easy to get their hands on. The corners of Chen Min's mouth were slightly raised, and he seemed to be quite confident in this.
The next day, the Treasure Appreciation Conference went on as usual. After the accident on the first day, the number of visitors has increased rather than decreased, which is a bit confusing. This time, there have been some subtle changes in the exhibition hall. I saw that the treasures that were originally displayed outside were now packed into a transparent box for tourists to see. According to Chen Min, this box is made of snow crystal, and the texture is extremely hard, enough to withstand the full force of the peak powerhouse. In addition, at least two guards are guarded at each corner of the exhibition hall, and special windshields are also added to the candlesticks around them to prevent yesterday's situation from repeating itself. Under such strict measures, it is difficult for even a fly to fly into it, let alone break the box and steal the treasure in front of so many people.
Sure enough, there were no accidents until the end of the exhibition. While Qiushui breathed a sigh of relief, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. He took the initiative to find Chen Min and asked to continue guarding here at night, but was told that there was no need for that.
"Don't worry, the gate of the Shuibo Hall is made of red rock and pig iron poured in a certain proportion, and it is extremely strong. You shouldn't have no confidence in the red rocks produced by Lin Lin's family, right?" Chen Min's words left Qiushui without the slightest room for argument, so he had to give up. However, for safety reasons, Chen Min still arranged more than ten guards with knives outside the hall, just in case.
Chen Min was right, the gate of the Shuibo Hall was not damaged in any way, but before the opening of the museum the next day, a hole about two feet in diameter appeared on the wall next to the door, which was just enough for an adult to pass through. The cut surface is smooth and flat, as if it was drilled with some sharp weapon. In the exhibition hall, another treasure called Coral Pagoda has disappeared. What's even more unexpected is that the box containing the treasure did not appear to be damaged, as if someone had directly passed his hand through it and taken the treasure inside.
"Didn't you find any suspicious people?" Chen Min's tone carried a hint of anger, completely devoid of his usual easy-going appearance.
"Report the vice-captain...... Not really!" The guards looked at each other, then said in a trembling voice. All night yesterday, they were all guarding the door of the Water Wave Temple, and they never left half a step.
"Strange, why don't they just take all the treasures here?" Zhu Jue asked with some confusion.
"Who knows, maybe they have something wrong with their brains. Qiushui shrugged, also feeling a little puzzled by this.
"Possibly...... Among them is someone with a special ability to pass through hard objects to obtain treasures. However, this ability is extremely expensive, and every time you use it, you have to rest for a long time. Lin Lin thought for a while, and suddenly said beside him.
"That makes sense!" Chen Min snapped his fingers and continued, "In this case, in the face of such a great temptation, it is very likely that they will come to the door again." As for us, just wait!"
