Chapter 9 Deadly Invitation
Updated: 2012-05-03
At ten o'clock in the morning, in front of the No. 1 Museum of Nanshan City, the opening ceremony was going on in a tight and orderly manner. Chu Yan had already left the roof opposite and was wandering around the crowd. Such a dense crowd had poor penetration, but the vision on the rostrum of the temporary opening ceremony was extremely clear.
At this moment, the leader on the rostrum was speaking with great interest. Behind the rostrum, behind the long table, there were a row of invited guests. Among them, the one sitting in the middle was the blonde and blue-eyed Wendy. At this time, Wendy sat on the rostrum with a smile, and her eyes seemed to be looking straight ahead, but Chu Yan stared at him for a few seconds and found that Wendy's gaze was always wandering near the CDB in front of the museum, which was one of the best commercial and entertainment centers in Nanshan City.
The lengthy opening ceremony finally ended an hour later, and the first ancient cold weapons exhibition also officially began. The abortion followed closely after the leaders of the rostrum entered the museum.
"Xiyao, come here, I'll take you to see the exhibition hall on the third floor." On the west side of the museum hall, Wendy stood in front of Mo Xiyao and Wan Caini, and gave the invitation politely with a smile.
"Okay, it's better to obey your orders than to be so respectful." Mo Xiyao looked at the bustling crowd in the lobby on the first floor, frowned slightly invisible. Obviously, she was a little uncomfortable with such a dense crowd. Wendy was just asking for an invitation at this moment.
"I heard that there is an exhibition hall on the third floor that is not open to ordinary tourists. It seems that there will be an auction later. Isn't it true?" Wan Caini glanced around the hall on the first floor, but did not find anything she was interested in. The hall on the first floor was the most ordinary exhibits, and the years were mostly in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, among which the standard weapons used by the army accounted for more than 90%.
"Yes, this exhibition is divided into four floors. The exhibition hall on the first floor is filled with some ordinary-valued cold weapons. Although there are many swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, halberds, hooks and forks, they are all things with low historical value; while the exhibits on the second floor are farther in terms of quality and age, most of them are Tang and Song dynasties, and many in Yuan and Ming dynasties; as for the third and fourth floors, two beautiful ladies can only find out after watching them in person." Wendy smiled and explained after hearing Wan Caini's words, and the figures of the three people quickly followed the crowd to the second floor exhibition hall.
The entrance and exit design of the exhibition hall here is very interesting. To give a simple example, if the entrance is on the east side, the exit must be on the west side. That is to say, as long as tourists enter the exhibition hall, they must pass through the entire hall and come to the other side before leaving. This model is somewhat like the entrance and exit design of supermarkets many years ago, forcing shopping customers to browse the products displayed in the entire supermarket to the maximum extent.
The entrance to the second floor is on the east side of the main staircase of the hall, and the exit is on the west side. There are not many people visiting the second floor at this moment, because more than a dozen leaders and the great masters of the cultural relics industry are leisurely visiting. As for ordinary visitors, they have not yet opened to them. The entrance will be opened after this wave of leaders has finished visiting. However, it is obvious that Wendy is not among ordinary tourists.
"These two are my friends." Wendy looked at the four security guards standing at the entrance and said softly in English.
"Mr. Wendy, please come in." One of the security guards with a gloomy face opened the isolation belt and put Wendy, Mo Xiyao, and Wan Caini in.
"Hello, Mr. Wendy, come here and I'll introduce you to..."
"Sorry, you two, let's take a look here first. These people will leave in a while. Then we will go to the third floor." Wendy just walked into the exhibition hall on the second floor, and almost everyone in the crowd was greeting him. Wendy apologized to Mo Xiyao and the others helplessly, and then quickly walked to the leader group. Mo Xiyao nodded and turned around and walked towards a corner of the exhibition hall. Since she was here, just enjoy it, although she and Wan Caini knew nothing about antiques.
Wendy greeted many leaders with ease. Mo Xiyao and Wan Caini were gradually attracted by the strange weapons in the exhibition hall, looking one after another. There were only two of the four security guards standing at the entrance of the exhibition hall on the second floor. The previous security guard with a cold face gently swept his ear with his right hand, and then whispered, "The target has been shortlisted and ready to take action."
In the first floor lobby, Chu Yan slowly moved with the flow of people. He was the third group of people entering the exhibition hall. Because there were too many visitors, the security guard at the door pulled up an isolation belt and released some of the flow of people who visited every once in a while. Even so, the hall was still crowded.
"Line up, don't run around, follow me." A very loud voice suddenly sounded at the entrance of the hall. Chu Yan looked at it in the sound and frowned. At the door was a group of elementary school students, with a young teacher who was probably about 20 years old, and there was only one teacher in the team of more than 30 people. Among these elementary school students, Chu Yan quickly saw a familiar figure.
Caesar, this little male, looked disdainful, and had a pair of earplugs in his ears without any signs. His little head was shaking gently, obviously he didn't care at all about what the young female teacher said.
"Li Xiaodong, if you don't line up, be careful, I'll give you a good comment at the parent-teacher meeting! Humph!" The female teacher was angry and directly used her killer move. Sure enough, it was very effective. Almost all students except Caesar looked serious and aimed at the back of their heads in front of them, for fear that the female teacher would call and comment at the parent-teacher meeting.
"Let's go, I'll invite a commentator for you. See who has an commentator in the hall, that is, the teacher, I'm willing to spend money to invite you. Follow up, hurry up." After saying that, the female teacher shook her big roll of pear blossoms that she had just burned, turned her head and walked towards the entrance of the exhibition hall on the first floor in the hall.
Around her, four men and two women, six successful people in suits and tie followed the students and walked into the exhibition hall without a trace.
"The six golden shields of the black treasure elite, Mo Xiyao, is really willing to spend money." Chu Yan's gaze captured these six figures at the first time, and determined the identities of the six people through the direction they occupied and the gaze that was always around Caesar. These six people were the ones who had always been inseparable from protecting Caesar.
Behind them, the three team members of the Nanshan City Serious Crime Team were already scattered in the crowd, focusing on the group of primary school students who had just entered. Huang Kai's face was extremely ugly at this moment, because the kidnapping case that originally belonged to him was transferred to the Serious Crime Team 7, and even the evidence clues that had been found before were handed over, which made Huang Kai run wild on the spot and almost beat the director of the Nanshan City Public Security Bureau. Fortunately, he was stopped. The director stopped his post in anger. Huang Kai was so angry that he had nowhere to let go, so he came here with his three brothers, with his eyes red and wanted to catch the suspect in the kidnapping case.
"Group Huang, look, that kid is here too." Dali has been following Huang Kai, his eyes are also staring at the crowd with fierce light. Chu Yan's figure naturally fell into his eyes.
"I saw it." Huang Kai actually found Chu Yan's existence as soon as he entered the exhibition hall on the first floor. Chu Yan also looked at Huang Kai, smiled and nodded to say hello, and then wandered around the crowd. Chu Yan had a special liking for cold weapons, and this kind of exhibition was very much in his appetite.
"Let the big dog follow him. If this kid has anything unusual, it will be arrested for me immediately!" Huang Kai didn't mind Chu Yan's greeting. He had only one thought in his mind, which was to solve the kidnapping case and kill those crazy bastards!
Chu Yan quickly arrived at the entrance of the second floor exhibition hall in the crowd, but the entrance was not open. Two security guards stood there expressionlessly. When Chu Yan walked over, one of the security guards reached out to stop him, "The second floor exhibition hall will open in thirty minutes, please wait."
The security guard stopped Chu Yan and gave an explanation, while Chu Yan nodded with a smile, glanced at the security guard's wrist and turned around and left.
"The blood-drop blue scorpion came to be the security guard, it's interesting." The security guard's wrist leaned against his arm, and a blue scorpion tail was faintly exposed. There was a bean-sized red blood dripping hanging on the scorpion tail. Ordinary people may not understand what's special about this tattoo that looks a bit charming, but Chu Yan knew very well. The tattoo of the blood-dropped scorpion only belongs to the blood-dropped scorpion, a group of thugs who can do everything they want for money!
Thirty minutes say it's not long or short. The leaders in the exhibition hall on the second floor finally finished visiting and went downstairs to the hotel along the VIP passage. After Wendy sent off the group of big-bellied leaders, she turned around and came to the exhibition hall. Looking at Wan Caini, who was inseparable from Mo Xiyao, her eyes flashed for a moment, and then a gloomy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Two guys, I've been waiting for a long time." Wendy said apologetically when she came to Mo Xiyao and Wan Caini approaching.
"No hurry, it's quite interesting here." Mo Xiyao didn't say anything. Wan Caini was quite interested. She, a woman who was passionate about weapons, also became interested in these cold weapons.
"Who?" Just as Mo Xiyao was about to say something, Wendy suddenly shouted coldly, and a black figure shot away from behind a platform to the exit of the exhibition hall. In her hand, she seemed to be holding a sharp blade with a cold light.
"There is a thief! Where can I run away?!" Wan Caini also noticed the figure at the first time, and immediately flashed and chased after him. For a moment, only Mo Xiyao and Wendi were left in the exhibition hall.
"Let's go, there's that big interpol to catch the thief. I believe the thief can't run far away. Let's go to the third floor first to take a look." Wendy said as she stretched out her hand and grabbed Mo Xiyao's wrist. Her gentle smile had faded, and the rest was cold and sinister.
