Chapter 216: Revisiting the Auction House
"Well, Ruan Jin said that the figure of 60 million is a bit big, and it takes two or three days to raise funds."
Ruan Lingyu said, "That's why the president didn't hand over the thousand-faced doll to Ruan Jin at the first time."
"What if Ruan Jin stole it?"
Jiang Bai suddenly thought of a possibility in his mind, and then said, "The thousand-faced doll is lost, and the president has to compensate the relevant money in addition to returning the bidding deposit, right?" ”
"Well, I've seen this in the auction house's announcement."
Ruan Lingyu said, "They guarantee that the items won at the auction will not be lost in the auction house, and if they are lost, they will be compensated according to 30% of the auction price." ”
"That's eighteen million."
Jiang Bai said, "It can't be ruled out that you can get 18 million after stealing a thousand-faced doll, right?" ”
"Then why kidnapping? Wouldn't it be nice to just steal it? ”
Yan Xiyue's words made Jiang Bai's idea enter a dead end, if Ruan Jin did it himself, there was no need to kidnap himself.
"You're tired enough today, don't think about it yet."
Ruan Lingyu sighed and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to dinner." What do you want to eat? ”
He said that he asked Jiang Bai and Yan Xiyue to change their clothes, and then went out to see what delicious food there was in this city.
Walking downstairs, Jiang Bai saw the night scenery of the old area of Lincheng.
All the lights were on, including some on the overpass.
These lights work well with the colorful lights on the street stalls. There are also more stalls at night than during the day.
And the shops behind these stalls are also very bright. Presumably, the development zone avenue behind you is spacious and clean, and these streets in the old area have a unique flavor.
Jiang Bai and Yan Xiyue followed Ruan Lingyu around the street. Yan Xiyue bought some gadgets a little.
Jiang Baiquan accompanied the two ladies to go shopping.
As he walked, Jiang Bai saw Ruan Lingyu stop at the door of a restaurant.
The fragrance wafting from inside is addictive.
"That's it, let's go."
Ruan Lingyu said and dragged Jiang Bai and Yan Xiyue into dinner.
"How are you getting along at noon?"
During the meal, Ruan Lingyu asked this, and saw that Jiang Bai and Yan Xiyue were a little restrained, and the two deliberately distanced themselves.
"Jiang Bai, I usually look like you have a clear mind, why are you twisting and pinching now?"
She said with a smile, "At noon, I also saw that you little couple had just escaped a catastrophe, and they had to get along well to take Ruan Ting away temporarily." ”
"She, she's just my friend."
Jiang Bai said as calmly as he could.
"Friends? Friends are friends, sister is a person! ”
Ruan Lingyu said, "Don't you all admit it, then forget it." ”
And she said no more.
Jiang Bai and Yan Xiyue also breathed a sigh of relief.
……
The next day, they said that Jiang Bai and Yan Xiyue would go to the auction house to understand the situation, and Ruan Lingyu would follow Ruan Ting to Ruan's house to understand the situation.
In this way, it will be more efficient to act separately.
At this time, Jiang Bai and Yan Xiyue were coming to the auction house again in a car.
Because of yesterday's incident, Jiang Bai and Yan Xiyue have also been recorded in the face of the auction house.
They were able to get in without a hitch.
Walking into the hall, Jiang Bai saw Che Hao who was observing the surroundings.
"Professor Cha, are you there too?"
As he spoke, he stepped forward to say hello.
"Well, I think the thousand-faced doll is too unusual, so I want to see it again."
Che Hao nodded and said, "Did you find anything when the power went out yesterday?" ”
"The lock over there......"
Jiang Bai looked at the guests around him who were waiting for the president, so he stopped talking, and motioned to say it in a place with fewer people.
Che Hao also understood Jiang Bai's meaning, so he followed Jiang Bai to the corridor inside.
"After the lock inside is out of electricity, only the outermost lock is valid, and the two electronic locks inside are invalid."
Jiang Bai whispered, "There is also a vent, we found a place to go up before." ”
"You mean you're looking for a wiring diagram for the ventilation ducts?"
Che Hao reacted immediately.
Jiang Bai nodded.
"I'll go to the president, come with me."
Cha Hao said as he walked to the elevator not far away.
Jiang Bai was about to leave, but was stopped by Yan Xiyue.
"I think Professor Che is weird."
Yan Xiyue leaned close to Jiang Bai's ear and said, "After the incident of the Kyoto villa, he happened to be there in the Wang Xinyu case, and now he happens to be there, I don't feel like a coincidence." ”
Her sixth sense made her think that these were all secretly being pushed by.
"It's okay, hasn't Professor Cha been helping us?"
Jiang Bai patted Yan Xiyue on the back and told her not to worry so much.
"What are you still doing here?"
I saw that the elevator door had been opened, and Che Hao was waiting for them at the elevator entrance.
"Just come."
Jiang Bai said, pulling Yan Xiyue to the elevator together.
Sit on the third floor and turn left a few steps to the president's office.
Cha Hao led them straight to the door of the president's office.
But I heard some quarrels inside.
"I know it's a big deal, but can you hold it down a little longer, in case you find it?"
The governor said very anxiously, "If this is the case, why don't you let the kidnapping of Ruan Jin break out first?" You are the one who presses the news, and you are the one who wants to break the news. When the news comes out, will my auction house still do it? ”
From his voice, Jiang Bai could speculate that he should be on the phone with the leaders of newspapers or some news media.
Wait until his argument is over before Cha Hao knocks on the door.
When I opened the door, I saw the slightly smiling face of the governor.
"Professor Cha, why are you here?"
The governor smiled and asked, "Isn't there another thing that has already been mailed to Kyoto?" ”
"Not that thing."
Che Hao said with a smile, "It's about the thousand-faced doll, Jiang Bai knows something, so it's very likely to find out about the thief." ”
"Oh?"
The governor was pleasantly surprised, "What is needed?" I'm sure I'm here to help! ”
"I'd like to see what's going on with the ventilation ducts."
Jiang Bai said straightforwardly, "Before the power outage yesterday, we found that there was a ventilation pipe in a position that could be climbed into, so we wanted to see the pipe diagram." If you can get out......"
"Impossible."
The governor smiled and said, "All the end points of the ventilation pipes here have page turbines turning, and it is impossible for a thief to get out of the ventilation pipes." ”
"If there is a power outage, what if you run through the ventilation duct to another room?"
Jiang Bai asked, "When other rooms go out, the backup power supply does not support all the monitoring operations, so won't he have a lot of space to escape?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the governor fell silent.
"Okay, I'll take a look at it."
"All I know is that the end is a rotating page-wheeler, but I don't know where it leads in the middle." ”
With that, the governor searched the cluttered bookcase behind him.
It didn't take long for an old folder to be pulled out.
