313 Old acquaintances again

Lao Cai stopped Han Da'er and said very politely:

"Please hand over the evil weapons on your body, no one is allowed to bring weapons into the venue at today's auction!"

Han Daring hesitated for a moment, he always felt that today's auction would not go too well, it felt exactly the same as the last time he was in the Red Fort, so although he didn't bring a gun, he still brought a double knife and a hidden weapon with him.

Lao Cai smiled and said in a low voice:

"Mr. Han, I have already seen you with a hidden weapon in the Red Fort last time, please hand it over first, we will keep it properly, and we will return it to you when you leave after the meeting."

Then he pointed to the courtyard and saw that there were also a few tall foreigners patrolling the courtyard, and when he looked in from the door of the western-style building, security guards were also arranged in the building.

Lao Cai Dao:

"Don't worry! There are security inside and outside the area, so don't worry about anything like the Red Keep! ”

Han Daring could only smile bitterly, untie the hidden weapon on his wrist, and hand the red and white double cherry short knife on his body to Lao Cai.

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"Humph! Doesn't it mean that those who come to this auction are either rich or expensive, and those who come are all high-class? How can there be such a bandit who hides knives and guns? ”

The voice is deep but it seems to be flying and domineering, and it is very annoying to listen to the sound.

Han Daring turned around and looked, but it was a tall and strong man who spoke. I saw that his face was ruddy, his thick eyebrows were straight into his sideburns, his eyes were indiscriminately white, and he was holding a cigar in his mouth, and there was a trace of green smoke. Combed his back and wiped a lot of oil, which looked shiny, and the flies had to fall into a split, which had to fight with Mei's ability.

This person is not only on par with Han Da'er, but also has his shoulders folded, and his two walls are thick, making him look powerful. But his hands are very thin and he has three or four gemstone rings, and at first glance he looks like a rich man who is pampered.

Looking at this person again, in addition to the silk horse coat robe, in this early summer, there is even a coat on the outside, the texture of the clothing is excellent, although it is not thick but very long, with a pair of leather shoes on his feet, he walks very mightily, with the domineering spirit of the plant!

The man had two attendants by his side, one of whom took out the invitation and handed it to Lao Cai.

Han Da'er and this man looked at each other, the man's eyes were disdainful, he looked very arrogant, and took a sip of his cigar and said:

"What kid, you're also here for the auction?"

Han Daring smiled contemptuously and ignored it, if it weren't for the important matter of coming to the auction today, as soon as the big man said something just now, Han Daring would have already put him down.

At this time, Lao Cai said to this annoying big man:

"Mr. Lu Zhengxiong, your invitation questions, please come in! Also, you can't bring weapons with you when you enter the venue! ”

This big man named Lu Zhengxiong pursed his lips and grinned:

"I'm not a robber, what kind of weapon do I bring!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Han Da'er. Then he had to take two of his attendants into the courtyard.

Lao Cai stretched out his hand and said:

"I'm sorry Mr. Lu, today's auction only invites people with invitations, and you can't bring entourage!"

Lu Zhengxiong pretended not to hear it, and walked in with the two of them. The two attendants beside Lao Cai hurriedly stepped forward politely to stop him, but who knew that Lu Zhengxiong's eyes swept away, and his subordinates immediately understood, and reached out to the attendant's shoulder.

However, before the attendant's hand reached the attendant, he was grabbed by a hand. The attendant and Lu Zhengxiong raised their eyes at the same time, but it was Han Da'er who grabbed the wrist of the attendant.

Lu Zhengxiong and his followers obviously didn't know who Han Dada'er was, Lu Zhengxiong's eyes made him want to break free of Han Dada'er, and the other follower also had to come up and do it.

Han Da'er seemed to be relaxed, and the entourage who immediately pinched you with a slight hand "oops". A pain that hurt into the bone marrow instantly came from the wrist, and the attendant almost collapsed on the ground as soon as his legs went limp.

Another follower came up to grab Han Daring's collar, Han Daring'er's hand was like a spirit, and he used the big silk of Bajiquan to pass through the armpit and wrap around his shoulder, and hold him tightly, as long as there was a slight movement, his shoulder and arm would be fractured and dislocated.

At this time, two tall security guards in the courtyard rushed over and hurriedly asked Lao Cai about the situation in French.

"These two people didn't have an invitation, they trespassed without permission, and I'll leave it to you to deal with!"

With a shake of his arms, he had already sent the two into the arms of the security guard.

After the two security guards confirmed with Lao Cai in French, they took Lu Zhengxiong's two followers one by one, like two posthumous ones, and threw them out of the courtyard.

Lu Zhengxiong was very dissatisfied and was about to have a seizure, when a man in a suit and leather shoes walked out of the western-style building, this is a brown-haired Frenchman, and he is also very tall and well-proportioned. The man was carrying a gold pocket watch, and the chain of the pocket watch swayed slightly as he walked.

He walked out of the western-style building, and when he saw Lu Zhengxiong, he immediately stepped forward to shake hands and say hello, and he seemed very familiar. Lu Zhengxiong was about to vent his dissatisfaction, but the French man first asked Lao Su in French:

"What's going on with this guy?"

The guy he was referring to was naturally Lu Zhengxiong, don't look at him, although his mouth is very polite, the smile on his face remains the same.

Lao Cai replied in French:

"This Mr. Lu kept dissuading and wanted to forcibly bring two entourages into the venue, and it was this Mr. Han who helped stop a storm!"

The Frenchman nodded slightly to Han Da'er, and Lao Cai continued:

"This Mr. Han is a famous detective, and he solved the previous bloody case of the Red Fort!"

When the French heard this, their eyes immediately became solemn, and with a smile on their faces, they turned to Lu Zhengxiong and said in a not very fluent Chinese dialect:

"Mr. Lu, please don't be surprised, this is all a misunderstanding! You and this gentleman are our honored guests today! ”

Lao Cai also added:

"Mr. Lu, I'm sure you've heard of this name, he is the famous Jinmen detective, Mr. Han Zhigang!"

When Lu Zhengxiong heard Han Daring's name, his face seemed to change color, thinking that it might be because he knew Han Daring's thunderous methods of catching murderers and thieves, so he was shocked by his prestige. But this strange look only lasted for a moment, and in an instant he regained his empty face, and said:

"Who was I! Wasn't he a stinky foot patrol before! ”

Seeing that Lu Zhengxiong spoke so unkindly, the French said to Han Da'er in French:

"Mr. Han, please don't be like this guy, he's just a nasty nouveau riche, just a fool!"

The expression on the Frenchman's face did not change in the slightest as he spoke, so that if he did not understand French, he thought he was humbly explaining something!

Mei Ruohong also understands French, and when she heard the French say this, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Han Daring also replied in French:

"It's okay! This guy is as stupid as a pig, how can I be as knowledgeable as a pig! ”

Lu Zhengxiong saw a few people talking in French, but he naturally didn't know what they were talking about with a look on his face, so he hurriedly asked:

"What do you say? Say something that others can understand! ”

At this time, another person came out of the western-style building, this person was of medium stature, thin in stature, with a pair of glasses, and looked a little weak. He walked over to the Frenchman and whispered a few words.

Han Daring noticed that Lu Zhengxiong's eyes had changed a little at this time, and he squinted at the weak man who had just walked out, but the man did not make any eye contact with Lu Zhengxiong.

The French were still smiling and invited Lu Zhengxiong, Han Dada'er, and Mei Ruohong into the western-style building.

Lao Cai was still checking the invitation card at the door and doing the work of welcoming guests, but there was a foreigner who originally took out the invitation letter and handed it to Lao Cai, and Lao Cai was just about to open the invitation, but the foreigner hurriedly pulled the invitation back from Lao Cai's hand.

Because he saw Han Dada'er who had just walked into the western-style building, the last time in the Red Fort, Han Dada'er and a Jewish young man could toss themselves enough, and then he was arrested by the British Ministry of Industry, but because he was French, he enjoyed diplomatic immunity.

Moreover, although he claimed to have joined the Sanyang Sect, in fact, he only sold antiques with the Sanyang Sect, and often poured out the cultural relics of the Sanyang Sect to make profits from it, but there was no evidence from these British Concession Ministry of Works, so there was nothing to do about him, and he was released after interrogation.

This person is none other than Jean-Pierre, the French antiques dealer who appeared in the Red Keep murder.

The main reason why he is here today is because he has some connections in the French Chamber of Commerce, he once helped a high-ranking knight in the Chamber of Commerce, found two Chinese national treasures, and later had a private antique transaction with some people in the Chamber of Commerce, so it is not surprising that he can hold an invitation.

It's just that after seeing Han Da'er just now, he was a little afraid, and he hurriedly took the invitation away, wanting to retreat.

While he was hesitating, a French merchant came out of the building, beckoned to Jean-Pierre, and came to talk to him, and accompanied him into the courtyard. The invitation was taken by the businessman and handed to Lao Cai casually.

Han Daring and Mei Ruohong came to the hall on the first floor, which was not an auction site, but a small buffet, and the waiters in the hall were carrying wine and shuttling through the crowd. There were more than a dozen guests, talking in twos and threes with wine glasses.

Mei Ruohong asked:

"You greeted the old man in charge of reception at the door just now, you knew each other before?"

Han Daring said:

"Lao Cai was the housekeeper of the Red Fort at that time in the case of the Red Fort!"

At this time, the waiter passed by the two of them with a plate, Han Daring picked up two glasses of wine in the tray, handed one to Mei Ruohong, and was about to drink, when suddenly someone behind him said:

"Officer Han, I didn't expect you to come, great! Look, teacher, it's Officer Han! ”

The voice was full of joy, and Han Daring turned around to see that a young man with a wine glass was waving to an old man with a happy face, and the old man walked quickly when he heard the words.

This young man is "Zhang Xi" who appeared in the Red Fort Bloody Case, and the old man is his teacher, the calligrapher and antique collector, and the old man "Yan Zhiyi" who opened a small museum.

Yan Zhiyi also looked very happy, and walked over and hurriedly said:

"Before, Han Gong saved our lives in the Red Fort Sea of Fire, but he was too busy to capture the murderer and leave early, so I haven't had time to thank you yet!"

Han Da'er was also busy and said humbly:

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be! I am a police officer, and it is my duty to catch murderers and save people! ”

I heard that Han Daring was coming, and a few more people also came up.

Gao Jinghui, the son of the famous businessman Gao Yunlong, who appeared in the Red Fort case, is also among them, and today he came by himself, and it is said that his father Gao Yunlong is not in good health, so Gao Jinghui has taken over the family's business.

Because Gao Yunlong is a collector and antique fan, this invitation is actually for Gao Yunlong, but he is unwell and can only let his son attend on his behalf, and hopes to bid for his favorite antiques at the auction later.

Except for him, the others didn't know Han Da'er, but they couldn't see his name for a long time, so it was also a surprise to see the Jinmen Detective himself today. Only Lu Zhengxiong was standing far away, talking to a tall man, who seemed to be very afraid of Lu Zhengxiong, and seemed a little submissive. Lu Zhengxiong kept talking like a lecturer, and glanced at Han Da'er from time to time, his eyes were full of disdain.

Han Dada'er introduced Gao Jinghui and Zhang Xi to Mei Ruohong, and the rest of the people he didn't know introduced themselves.

Mei Ruohong whispered to Han Da'er:

"I didn't expect that there were several more people today, all of whom were in the Red Fort case!"

Han Daring nodded and said:

"yes, I saw that antique dealer just now, let Pierre, I'll have to talk to him later!"

Although Pierre deliberately avoided Han Dada'er, he was still noticed by Han Da'er's keen eyes.

Suddenly, there was a sound of a spoon tapping a wine glass, and everyone's eyes were attracted by the sound, and they all looked to the center of the hall, and it was the Frenchman at the door who knocked on the glass.

The Frenchman, holding his glass, said:

"Welcome to today's auction, first of all, let me introduce to you the organizer and initiator of this auction, Mr. Abel Bertrand!"

A red-haired, slightly chubby man walked towards the center of the hall, followed by a beautiful Chinese girl dressed in a gorgeous dress.

Han Daring and Mei Ruohong were taken aback when they saw this girl, this girl was none other than the "Little Fox Fairy Ye Ling" who had disappeared for a while!
