At the beginning of the auction, many people still bid, until the price rose to 2.5 million yuan, many people were forced to give up, and there were only two contenders. One is Ye Xichen, who is a gold mining king who claims to have 500 million family assets, and the other is Mrs. Zhong Lan, a rich woman who is famous for being a gem collector.

"2.6 million ...... 2.7 million, good! …… Yes! 2,705,000 ...... 2.8 million! ”

The price has skyrocketed, and the auctioneer has become infected, his voice has become hoarse, and his eyes are open like light bulbs.

"2.8 million, Mrs. Zhong Lan has come out to 2.8 million, has it risen again? Who's going to increase the price?"

"3 million!" Ye Xichen categorically reported a number.

caused a commotion and discussion among everyone present, Ye Xichen actually wanted to buy a gem with 3 million, worthy of being the king of gold mines!

Mrs. Zhong Lan was also a little unable to stand up, her face turned pale, and she stood up, her body trembling a little. She also knew in her heart that the other party was the king of gold mines, and she might not be able to fight him, and the opponent was bold. But it is difficult for me to ride a tiger, so I can only give it a go. "3.5 million!" She quoted a price in a smooth but somewhat hoarse voice!

The audience was silent, and people were stunned, stunned by Mrs. Zhong Lan's three-jump price increase, and people couldn't help but look at Ye Xichen, wanting to see the rich man's reaction.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xichen was looking at a letter in his hand intently, completely forgetting what was happening around him, and even ignoring the auctioneer's shouting.

"3.5 million ......, Mrs. Zhong Lan paid 3.5 million, is there any additional increase?3.5 million, in the last three seconds, is there a price increase for 1 and 2?"

Ye Xichen still didn't move, he was still staring at the paper in his hand, as if he was thinking about something.

"One last time! 1、2、3!”

Ye Xichen woke up like a dream and shouted: "4 million!" But the auction hammer had already hit the table one step ahead of him, Ye Xichen was one step late, and it was only one hundredth of a second short of Mrs. Zhong Lan who bought the gem for 3.5 million.

"What are you thinking?" Someone asked Ye Xichen.

"Oh, it's all for this piece of paper!"

Wu Changhao was also at the auction. He witnessed everything just now and everyone's every move, and suddenly he called a waiter in a white uniform.

"Did you hand Mr. Ye Xichen a letter?"

"Yes."

"Who asked you to deliver the letter?"

"A lady, oh, the one over there, the lady with a violet flower on her chest."

Wu Changhao left his seat and chased after him. As soon as he arrived at the door, the crowd of people blocked the way, and Wu Changhao watched the woman walk away. He returned to the hall and came to Ye Xichen's side and said, "I'm Wu Changhao from the Dongzhou Security Bureau, can you let me read your letter?"

Ye Xichen didn't say anything, and handed him the text message written in pencil, the handwriting was simple and sloppy:

The sapphire is cursed by evil, and the owner will suffer a catastrophe, don't follow in the footsteps of General Cai Qi!

Is it true that there is an evil spell on the sapphire? It is believed that all the gemstones with history and fame are cursed by the devil, and the owner often dies in misfortune. Some were set on crowns or royal chairs, and the emperor was killed by his subordinates. Some do not hesitate to kill for money in order to seize or possess it. The person is often murdered again, causing a chain of killings. There are many such stories, but is it true that this gem is the same?

It seems that this prophecy has also been fulfilled, and Mrs. Zhong Lan has also suffered misfortune, just 6 months later, the sapphire she bought for a huge amount of money was stolen, and the loss can be described as heavy. Speaking of the loss of sapphires, it seems that we also have to explain:

On the evening of August 10, in the luxurious residence of Mr. and Mrs. Zhong Lan in the northern suburbs of Dongzhou City, overlooking the bay area, Mrs. Zhong Lan invited some relatives and friends to be guests. Among them were Madame's two cousins, Madame's close friend Mrs. Xie Ya, and Mrs. Tostå, the consul of country Y.

After the dinner, Mrs. Zhong Lan played the piano for the guests, and in order to make it easier for her fingers to play, Mrs. Zhong took off the ring and put it on the small table next to the piano. After about an hour, the cousins and Mrs. Xie Ya went to another room to gossip, while Mrs. Zhong Lan accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Tostey in the living room.

After a while, Madame invited the guests to their room to rest, and when she left the living room, Madame blew out the headlamp on the table, and the consul and his wife also helped to blow out the two small lamps by the piano. Suddenly the room was dark, the three of them were stunned for a moment, the consul said "I'm sorry", fumbled to light the candles, the three smiled and said goodnight to each other, and returned to their respective rooms.

Madame suddenly remembered that her ring was still at the piano in the living room, and immediately called the little maid to fetch it. After a while, the little maid returned, and did not give the ring to Madame herself, but said, "Put it here, Madame." Resting on the dresser, Madame replied without mind, and went to bed.

The next morning, the lady was to put on the ring, and then she was nowhere to be found. Madame was taken aback, but kept silent, and only whispered to her husband.

"Did the little maid put the ring on the dresser last night?"

"That's right, she told me." Madame said.

"The most suspicious, then, were the consul couple, who had no ill intentions when they blew out the little light."

The couple immediately went to the security bureau to report the case and told the security security of their concerns. The security believed that the consul couple was also suspicious, but due to the special status of the consul, they could not be interrogated casually, so the security had to take surveillance measures first, and the consul's every move was closely monitored by the security to prevent the ring from being taken out. Of course, his mansion is also monitored day and night.

After two weeks in this way, there was no suspicious situation, no consul was found to be in contact with any suspicious person, and the security had to keep an eye on the consul and his wife. After another two weeks, the day of the consul's resignation and return to China arrived, and before leaving, they went to Zhong Lan's mansion to bid farewell and thank Zhong Dang and his wife for their warm hospitality.

The security couldn't sit still, and once they left, a small ring would never be recovered. The security guard thought they couldn't wait any longer, and just as the couple was packing their bags and about to go out, the security guard broke down the door.

"How can this be justified, you are violating human rights!"

The security guards didn't care about these and searched in accordance with the law, although the consul couple was full of anger, but the security procedures were complete, so they had to endure it first.

Security began to check the couple's luggage when a locked cosmetic box was found. The security guard opened the lock, and there was a bottle of incense powder inside, and in a flash, a ring stained with incense powder rolled out of it, which was the one stolen by Mrs. Zhong Lan!

When the facts were in front of them, the consul's wife fainted with a scream, and the consul himself was dumbfounded, and of course, the security guards immediately arrested him on charges of theft.

However, the consul refused to admit that he had stolen the ring, and repeatedly stated that it was a frame-up. "I don't know why it's here, I will never steal it, I can't think of any other reason except that Zhong Lan and his wife want to frame me."
