Chapter 1163 The operating coefficient is not high, but the insult is extremely strong [15000 words]
After hanging up the phone, Zhao He walked up to Gu Chen with a heavy heart, his face full of joy, anger, sorrow and joy.
Gu Chen asked him curiously: "What's the matter, Officer Zhao? Is there any news about Liu Yuan?"
"Gu Dui, our people have already found Liu Yuan's trace, but I want to ask you, how powerful is this Liu Yuan?"
"How powerful?" Gu Chen didn't say anything, but Police Officer Wang smiled cheerfully: "What should I say? This Liu Yuan is notorious in Jiangnan City. Before committing crimes, he has always come and gone without a trace. No one has seen him. true appearance."
"It took us a lot of effort to finally find out that his name is Liu Yuan, and we let him get away with it for 10 years."
"10 years?" Zhao He was a little shocked when he heard this number.
It's not that the police in Jiangnan City are too incompetent, after all, there are many capable people in Jiangnan City, but Liu Yuan was allowed to stay outside for 10 years, which shows that Liu Yuan still has some skills.
At least the police in Jiangnan City couldn't do anything to him.
No wonder everyone nicknamed him "Snitch Liu". It can be seen that Liu Yuan, the Snitch, is a master that the Jiangnan police can't help.
"What's the matter, Officer Zhao? Do you have something on your mind?" Seeing that Zhao He finished asking the question, he suddenly fell into deep thought.
Gu Chen couldn't figure it out, so he hurriedly asked him.
Zhao He waved his hand and looked at Gu Chen seriously: "I think you should take him away as soon as possible. It doesn't feel like a good thing to let such a difficult guy stay in our Lanshan City."
"Of course." Officer Wang said with a smile, "Why don't you let us come here? Isn't it just to arrest the snitch Liu?"
"Then let me tell you where he is now." Zhao He calmed down before explaining to everyone.
"Today in our Lanshan City, there is a luxury goods fair. Snitch Liu is there now. I suspect he must be going back to his old business and has his eye on a certain luxury item."
"Luxury Fair?" Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, then quickly asked, "Where's the address?"
"In the exhibition center." Zhao He said.
"Take us there." Gu Chen also realized the weirdness of the situation.
To say that other criminals go to this kind of place, I don't think it's too outrageous, but letting a professional thief go to this kind of luxury fair, it can be seen that it is a habit.
Just as Zhao He guessed, Snitch Liu may have already set his sights on a certain item and is thinking about it.
Without further ado, everyone reached a consensus in a short time.
Zhao He drove in front, while Gu Chen followed behind.
After a short 30-minute drive, everyone finally came to the Lanshan Convention and Exhibition Center, a huge egg-shaped building.
The periphery of the exhibition center is surrounded by many iron guardrails to form access passages.
Wear a mask to scan the QR code when entering and exiting.
There are automatic thermometers at each entrance and exit to ensure that the temperature detection is normal.
There are security guards at the entrance and exit, and a fire truck is parked not far away.
As a large-scale event site, the presence of firefighters will effectively guarantee the safety of the event.
After Gu Chen and the others scanned the QR code, they walked into the venue wearing masks.
Several men and women wearing vests of Red Cross volunteers were standing outside chatting with each other.
Yuan Shasha looked around and asked Zhao He: "Officer Zhao, did your colleague tell me where Liu Yuan is?"
"Not this one, but it must still be inside, because he has been watching the surveillance cameras at various entrances, and I also specially told him not to let Liu Yuan go away, so you can rest assured."
"It's enough to have your words." Looking at the huge building structure, Yuan Shasha felt guilty: "But the guild hall is so big, and there are so many people coming and going, so it's not easy to find this Liu Yuan?"
"Let's do this." Zhao He, who knew it was difficult to find someone, offered to propose: "I am wearing a police uniform, and it is more ostentatious when I walk in the guild hall. If Liu Yuan wants to commit crimes in the guild hall and finds out that I am looking for someone, he will definitely have some scruples .”
"So I decided, I'll go to the monitoring room of the guild hall and help you find in the monitoring room of the guild hall to see where this Liu Yuan is."
Looking at Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, Zhao He said again: "But you are different, you have been wearing casual clothes, and Liu Yuan has never seen you, you go to the venue and look for it, maybe Liu Yuan is not No doubt, what do you think?"
"Officer Zhao is still thoughtful, I think it will work." Gu Chen agreed with Zhao He's opinion.
After all, letting Zhao He follow everyone will definitely attract the attention of the surrounding people.
Even though Gu Chen and the others were not wearing police uniforms, walking with policemen in uniforms would inevitably remind people of plainclothes.
So the best way is to act separately.
Gu Chen also just needs a partner who can cooperate in the monitoring room of the guild hall.
Zhao He is familiar with this area, with him in charge, Gu Chen feels that the problem should not be serious.
Several people discussed briefly at the entrance, and Zhao He went directly to the monitoring room.
On the other hand, Gu Chen fetched a booklet from a long table.
This is the distribution map of the hall's activities, as well as the schedule of various performances.
In this booklet, Gu Chen can clearly see the specific location of each exhibition area.
Gu Chen also learned about the exhibitors from the brochure, mainly jewelers.
Bringing together some well-known domestic brands...
In addition, some international brands also participated in the exhibition.
It can be said that the whole exhibition area is very lively.
Especially as the end of the year is approaching, many brands have sales plans.
Therefore, in terms of discount strength, various brands are also crazily sharing profits.
Coupled with the performances of some programs and lucky draws by merchants, this keeps the flow of people at the exhibition at a high level.
At this moment, Gu Chen called everyone together and began to deploy: "There are many exhibition areas here, divided into A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and each large area will be divided into several small areas. , so we can’t look for people indiscriminately, I think we should start from Area A and check in order.”
"I agree with Junior Brother Gu's opinion." Lu Weiwei also raised her hand in agreement: "And we can't search separately, we have to concentrate on the investigation, four people, scan over one by one, don't miss any details."
"I think Senior Sister Lu's opinion is feasible." Seeing Lu Weiwei expressing her opinion, Yuan Shasha also offered to suggest: "We can form a row and walk over one by one, but the rows should not be too obvious, some people can be in front, and some people Can be behind."
"In this way, it won't arouse others' suspicion, and we can check every blind spot."
"Yes, I have no objection." Officer Wang also agreed with the method of several people.
Seeing this, Gu Chen also nodded and said: "Then follow Xiao Yuan's method, everyone is based on the horizontal row, you can go forward or backward, and pay attention to everyone around you, but don't observe too clearly."
"After all, Snitch Liu is a cunning loach. If he notices something is wrong, it will be a little troublesome. Do you understand?"
"understand!"
Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, everyone echoed in low voices.
Gu Chen looked around and said, "Then let's start from Area A1. Anyone who finds Snitch Liu, please keep quiet and don't let him find out."
"Gu Chen, don't worry about this. After all, tracking targets is our forte." Officer Wang still maintained enough confidence in his own people.
After all, everyone is a well-trained policeman, and everyone has relevant follow-up practices. Therefore, everyone can know their colleagues well about the implementation of tasks.
"Very good." Gu Chen nodded silently, looked towards the A1 area not far away, and said, "I'm at the front, you all divide up the positions, don't stand in a row, start to act."
Following the deployment of Gu Chen's mission, the entire investigation team immediately became busy.
Everyone walked around in the passage outside the exhibition area at will, observing everything with appreciative eyes.
In order to cover herself, Lu Weiwei even went to the popcorn stand outside the exhibition area, bought a box of popcorn for herself, and watched it while eating, feeling very comfortable.
With the further expansion of the scope of investigation, Gu Chen did not find any trace of Liu Yuan.
This made Gu Chen very confused.
At least this convention and exhibition center itself is a very mobile exhibition hall.
Except for the exhibitors, tourists flow freely, so investigation is only a means.
From Area A to Area D, everyone spent a lot of time, but still could not find Liu Yuan's trace.
At this moment, Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and directly dialed Zhao He's number.
Not long after, Zhao He's phone was connected.
"Gu team."
"Officer Zhao, did you find anything here?" Gu Chen hid in a corner and answered the phone in a low voice.
Zhao He said: "No, here is only the surveillance footage of Liu Yuan walking into the guild hall, and then disappearing into the crowd. I have been investigating for a long time, but I still haven't found any trace of Liu Yuan."
"How could it be?" Hearing Zhao He's words, Gu Chen frowned.
It can be seen that in terms of monitoring and investigation, Zhao He is obviously incomparable with He Junchao.
But Liu Yuan's anti-reconnaissance ability is not ruled out.
You know, when Liu Yuan committed crimes in Jiangnan City, he never let the police track him down.
On the one hand, thanks to Liu Yuan's very familiarity with the monitoring positions near the road, he knows how to move in order to avoid tracking.
There is also the surveillance situation inside the building.
No matter how intensive the monitoring is, there will be loopholes.
This is the magic weapon for Liu Yuan to be unable to be caught by the police after the theft.
Zhao He, who was on the phone, also heard Gu Chen's dissatisfaction from the phone, so he hurriedly explained to himself:
"Gu Dui, to be honest, I suspect that this Liu Yuan is deliberately avoiding the surveillance cameras."
"How?" Gu Chen asked.
"First of all, to enter the venue, you need to scan the code to measure the temperature. This is the only way to find his trace."
"But after entering the venue, there was only a wave of crowds, and he disappeared in an instant. Later, I also called up some other surveillance cameras to look for it, but to no avail."
After a pause, Zhao He said again: "Think about it, how could this guy disappear suddenly? He must have his own little plan."
"As for the others, no matter how they go, I can find traces in other surveillance stations, except Liu Yuan."
"I see, you wait for me in the monitoring room." Knowing that it would be fruitless to continue the investigation like this, he heard the situation from Zhao He again.
Gu Chen suddenly felt that the situation was not that simple.
You know, this is a luxury fair, and many products are expensive.
But when the luxury goods met the Snitch Liu, Gu Chen wasn't sure if this guy would use his brains on the items here, so he could only temporarily stop the search and signaled everyone to go to the monitoring room together.
At this moment, there are three members in the monitoring room.
Except for Zhao He, both of them are security guards.
Seeing four people entering the house, there were security personnel who wanted to stop them, but Zhao He stopped them in time.
"It's all our own people, you continue to work." Zhao He said.
The two security guards nodded silently, and then continued to monitor the screen.
And Zhao He pulled Gu Chen to a screen: "Captain Gu, look."
During the conversation, Zhao He clicked to play.
This is a playback screen.
In the screen, Liu Yuan's figure did appear.
However, after passing the body temperature test and scanning the code, Liu Yuan began to observe left and right.
Professional sensitivity told Gu Chen that Liu Yuan seemed to be looking for an opportunity.
Sure enough, after determining the approximate degree of crowding, Liu Yuan squeezed into the crowd directly.
Coupled with dexterous positioning, he quickly disappeared into the crowd.
"Where are the other recent monitors?" Gu Chen asked.
"It's all here." Zhao He continued to click to play, and immediately, several other surveillance cameras were also capturing at the same time.
However, the passers-by who appeared in the entrance monitoring before have already appeared in several other monitoring ranges.
But only this Liu Yuan seemed to disappear out of thin air.
"Is there any other monitoring?" Gu Chen asked.
Zhao He shook his head: "If you want to lead to the main passages here, you must be within the monitoring range of these few, but Liu Yuan does not, so I am very puzzled."
"Afterwards, I checked other nearby surveillance cameras, but no matter how I checked, I couldn't find Liu Yuan anymore. This guy seemed to have disappeared."
"No, how could a person disappear out of thin air? He must have used a certain trick to deceive your sight."
As an old comrade, Police Officer Wang did not show such impatience like Zhao He, but analyzed it objectively.
Gu Chen also nodded silently, and said, "Senior Brother Wang is right, so what does this Liu Yuan want to do? We must find out."
After looking at the monitoring screen, Gu Chen said again: "Well, you stay in the monitoring room and pay close attention to the big screen."
"I'll go to the place where Liu Yuan disappeared just now, let's simulate it on the spot."
"Yes." Lu Weiwei agreed.
Yuan Shasha also said, "I have no objection."
"That's fine." Seeing that Gu Chen was going to the exhibition hall, Police Officer Wang said indifferently: "Put on the wireless Bluetooth headset and contact me anytime."
"No problem." Gu Chen took out the wireless earphones and stuffed them into both ears, then turned around and walked along the road when he first came, out of everyone's sight.
Zhao He regretted a bit and said: "I should go there with Captain Gu. He must not know much about the Lanshan City Convention and Exhibition Center for the first time, and he will waste time if he gets lost later, or... I will go with him ?”
"No need." Seeing Zhao He making a fuss, Lu Weiwei smiled lightly and said, "When I entered the exhibition hall just now, Junior Brother Gu took a look at the brochure."
"As for the distribution of the exhibition hall and the specific location of each booth, Junior Brother Gu only needs to read it once, and he probably has a good idea."
"So powerful? There are many large areas and small areas here. Even if I don't walk around it once or twice, it's hard to figure out the approximate location."
"Don't worry." Seeing that Zhao He couldn't believe it, Lu Weiwei said again: "Junior Brother Gu has a good brain and a strong memory, so we don't have to worry about him."
During the conversation, Gu Chen appeared at the exit in an instant, and Lu Weiwei hurriedly said, "Look, it's Junior Brother Gu, and he has arrived at the designated location."
At this moment, Lu Weiwei's cell phone rang, and it was a voice call from Gu Chen.
Lu Weiwei didn't think much, and turned on the speakerphone directly.
"Senior Sister Lu, I have arrived at the designated location, can you see me now?" Gu Chen asked.
Lu Weiwei smiled and said: "I can see you, even if I leave my Junior Brother Gu in the crowd, I can still see you."
"Uh..." Police Officer Wang couldn't help but shudder when he heard the words: "I said Lu Weiwei, what time is it, are you calling as a couple? Can you be serious?"
"But I'm already serious." Lu Weiwei shrugged, as if you were blaming me.
Officer Wang shook his head, and said to the phone: "Gu Chen, we can already see your exact location."
"Okay, now I just need to get out of the surveillance line of sight, you remember to tell me." Gu Chen said.
Officer Wang smiled and said, "No problem."
After completing the simple confirmation, Gu Chen began to follow the situation seen on the surveillance screen, followed the crowd, and walked slowly inside.
Especially the place where Snitch Liu disappeared, which was the edge of the blind spot of the exit monitoring.
Gu Chen also followed the example of the snitch Liu Liuyuan, observing the surrounding situation left and right.
Pay particular attention to the degree of crowding.
Afterwards, Gu Chen found the right moment, and went straight into the crowd, and quickly disappeared into the blind spot of monitoring.
"Junior Brother Gu, you have already stepped out of the monitoring range." Lu Weiwei quickly reminded.
"I know."
During the conversation, Gu Chen stepped back and asked, "What about now?"
"Now?" Lu Weiwei said with a light smile while eating popcorn, "I can see you now."
"Okay, I know the approximate range. I'm going out of the surveillance area now. Remember to tell me when you see me on the surveillance screen again." Gu Chen said.
"Okay." Lu Weiwei nodded and said yes.
At this moment, Gu Chen looked around and found a toilet sign on the side.
When everyone entered the door before, Gu Chen also noticed briefly, but didn't pay much attention.
But after looking at the monitoring at this time, and discovering the location of the toilet, Gu Chen suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"Could it be that this is where Liu Yuan escaped from the monitoring?" Based on the principle of figuring out the situation, Gu Chen walked over directly and followed the sign of the toilet to enter it.
Since the toilet is being repaired, the organizers surrounded the toilet with iron bars and cordoned it off.
So most passers-by will not go to this place.
But here is precisely the monitoring blind spot.
Gu Chen felt that Liu Yuan might have a lot to do here.
This is a public toilet area. There are only two toilets for men and women.
Gu Chen checked one by one, and found that there is no way to hide people here.
And even if Liu Yuan wants to get rid of the surveillance, he must pass through the surveillance area if he wants to enter the main venue.
Gu Chen looked at the road in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh: "Impossible, if people want to go out, they will definitely pass through the monitoring range."
"No matter what, he will be photographed, but how did this Liu Yuan escape the surveillance? If he didn't come out, he wouldn't be photographed, but the two toilets here have been closed, and Liu Yuan's body has not been seen. trace."
Thinking of these, Gu Chen was puzzled.
But after calming down, it is not difficult for Gu Chen to find out that the fact that Liu Yuan disappeared in the abandoned toilet does not mean that Liu Yuan did not go out.
Reminiscent of Liu Yuan's habit of looking left and right when he entered the entrance passage, he seemed to be paying attention to the crowds around him.
The purpose of doing this kind of unintentional action is nothing more than to avoid monitoring.
But since he didn't commit crimes, why should he care about the surveillance over his head?
Therefore, Gu Chen believes that Liu Yuan's purpose of coming here at this time is absolutely extraordinary.
Due to the crimes committed by Liu Yuan in Jiangnan City, Gu Chen has reason to believe that Liu Yuan must be eyeing something in the exhibition center.
But since no trace of Liu Yuan can be caught in the surveillance, it's a bit strange.
Just as Gu Chen was thinking, a parent with two children happened to walk in to see the exhibition.
A little boy was crying and yelling to undress.
The mother was very helpless, and reminded that undressing would cause a cold, so she asked the little boy to wear it.
But the little boy kept shouting hot.
As a mother, I can only choose to compromise, so after communicating with the little girl, I changed the little boy with the little girl's coat, and said in my mouth:
"It's absolutely impossible to take off your clothes. The temperature is so low today, so it's a bit sunny at this time, so it's warmer."
"But once the time passes, the temperature will drop immediately. Come on, don't wear your thick clothes, and wear sister's thinner head office?"
The little boy hesitated for a moment, but he still chose to listen to his mother and put on the little girl's thin coat, while throwing his own coat to the little girl.
At this moment, the two happily followed their mother, trotting all the way to see the exhibition.
But at this time, a picture flashed in Gu Chen's mind.
"That's right, when we were looking for Liu Yuan, we only paid attention to his coat, which is unscientific."
"Even Liu Yuan, who is wearing a coat, can escape from the pursuit by changing clothes, and wearing other people's clothes to leave the surveillance blind spot and re-enter the surveillance range, so it will definitely be difficult to find that Liu Yuan has exchanged with others during surveillance. identity."
Watching the two children exchange clothes, he gave himself a hint.
Gu Chen expressed his relief, but at the same time another problem came up one after another.
"But did Liu Yuan change his casual clothes by himself? Or did he exchange casual clothes with someone else?"
Thinking of this, Gu Chen quickly reminded: "Senior Sister Lu, Liu Yuan may have changed his clothes and entered the monitoring range again."
"Help me check. Since Liu Yuan entered the monitoring blind spot, who have been to this blind spot before?"
"In addition, after Liu Yuan entered the monitoring blind spot, who were the people who came out of the monitoring blind spot? You only look at the person, don't care who it is."
"Understood." Lu Weiwei, who understood Gu Chen's meaning, hurriedly asked Zhao He to look for it again according to Gu Chen's request.
Thanks to Gu Chen's previous reminder, Zhao He found the person Gu Chen wanted in a short period of time.
"I found it. There is a person who is similar in stature to Liu Yuan. He did come out of the surveillance blind spot, but he is wearing a different color of clothes and has an extra baseball cap."
"Keep an eye on him, and then put together the surveillance to see where he is going?" Gu Chen said.
"Okay." There was another brief silence on the other side of Zhao He.
Five minutes later, Zhao He was overjoyed: "I found it. He went to the E5 area, and a monitoring blind spot in the E3 area disappeared again."
"Disappeared again?" Hearing Zhao He's words, Gu Chen also had a headache.
If you lose your position, what's the deal?
But with previous experience, Gu Chen feels that the problem is not big.
Then according to Zhao He's prompt, Gu Chen rushed to the E3 area and walked into the monitoring blind spot.
Lu Weiwei quickly reminded: "Junior Brother Gu, I can no longer see you."
"Understood." Gu Chen stopped and looked around.
There is no toilet as I thought it would be around, but there is an extra storage compartment.
Gu Chen walked over directly, opened the cubicle, and found a discarded piece of clothing inside.
"As expected." Gu Chen shook his head involuntarily.
"What's wrong, Junior Brother Gu?" Lu Weiwei who was in the monitoring room asked curiously after hearing Gu Chen's sigh.
Gu Chen said: "I didn't find a toilet here, but there is a storage compartment, and in the storage compartment, I found the clothes that Liu Yuan had discarded before."
"Is that so?" Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Lu Weiwei was puzzled and said, "Then according to what you said, does this Liu Yuan also store clothes here?"
"It's possible." Gu Chen looked at the clothes and explained, "Liu Yuan may have prepared several sets of clothes for himself to change in the exhibition center."
"In this way, the monitoring seems to be in the vast crowd, and it is difficult to find his existence."
"In other words, it's like he never came to the convention center at all."
"If that's the case, then he could have skipped some of the surveillance and showed up in other areas, and in other clothes, or in another image."
"Understood, I will keep a close eye on him." With previous experience, Lu Weiwei quickly found another mysterious man based on the monitoring time.
At this time, the mysterious man was wearing a slim suit.
This is completely inconsistent with Liu Yuan's image before.
But after Lu Weiwei zoomed in on the monitor, she found that although she had changed her clothes, Liu Yuan's body shape and height were still there.
This is a fact that no matter how you change it, you cannot get rid of it.
But at this moment, Liu Yuan seemed to have put on makeup.
The messy and loose hairstyle before was combed quite neatly at this moment.
Not only that, but the temperament of walking is completely different.
"Junior Brother Gu, I found it." Lu Weiwei was a little delighted.
Gu Chen hurriedly asked: "Where did he go? What does he look like now? Can you send me the surveillance screenshot?"
"No problem, I'll send it to you right now. He is now in a suit and leather shoes, heading towards D2 area." Lu Weiwei said.
"D2 area?" Gu Chen thought about it carefully, and then he remembered that there is a banquet area in D2 area, which is a place for private banquets.
Although it is in the center of the exhibition, there is a special reception table in the D2 area.
When Gu Chen and his colleagues searched Liu Yuan just now, they stayed for a minute.
The banquet center in D2 area is surrounded by guardrails, and there are security guards at the entrance and exit.
From the number of security guards at that time, it can be seen that there may be a lot of articles in it.
Gu Chen didn't want to think too much, and said directly: "The monitoring will continue to track, let's see where this guy has been? I am rushing to the D2 area now, hoping to meet him there."
"Okay, I'll continue to follow up." Lu Weiwei replied.
Soon, Gu Chen appeared on the surveillance screen and ran directly to the D2 area.
Seeing Gu Chen's skillful cooperation with several partners, as well as their investigation methods, Zhao He couldn't help thinking to himself.
It's no wonder that I searched the surveillance several times before but didn't have any clues. In order to avoid the surveillance surveillance, Liu Yuan, the co-author, even carried out two disguises.
It's no wonder that my eyes are cloudy. Fortunately, Gu Chen discovered the problem.
Thinking of these, Zhao He suddenly felt that Gu Chen might not be so simple.
……
……
On the other side, Gu Chen came to the D2 area. At this moment, a reception was still being held in the surrounding area. Just as Gu Chen wanted to go in to check, he was stopped by two security guards at the entrance.
"Excuse me, please show your invitation card." One of the tall and thin security guards said.
"Invitation card?" Gu Chen frowned.
Another well-built security guard and the tall and thin security guard looked at each other, then smiled and said, "You are just a passer-by, aren't you?"
"No, I want to ask, what kind of invitation card do I need to go in?" Gu Chen didn't know the situation here, so he hurriedly asked.
The tall and thin security guard said with a smile: "Here, the founder of the H jewelry brand, Mr. George's reception site is the place to entertain the agents of the H brand in the country. You need to hold an invitation letter written by the founder of the H jewelry brand, Mr. George. To be able to enter here to participate in the reception.”
"So that's the case?" Hearing the words of the tall and thin security guard, Gu Chen nodded silently, and couldn't help but tease: "What do I say? Why would someone set up a reception in the exhibition center? This foreigner's mind is really strange." .”
"Hehe." Seeing that Gu Chen didn't quite understand, the sturdy security guard also replied with a smile: "This is not for the purpose of showing the agents of other brands at the exhibition site to see how powerful the H brand is. "
"After all, this is the place with the highest traffic among peers. If you do something here, then you can properly advertise your brand."
Looking around, he found that the leader was not around, so the sturdy security guard leaned over and said in a low voice: "Do you know? Turning your own exhibition site, which occupies such a large area, into a reception, you know it will take a lot of money?" How much is it?"
"It's not low anyway." Gu Chen looked at the surrounding booths, and then at the reception reception area of the H Jewelry brand. He did some mental calculations and said, "The floor space is about the size of 12 ordinary exhibition areas, and the price should be the price of these exhibition areas." About 12 times of that?"
"That's right." Hearing this, the tall and thin security guard smiled and said, "At this time, if you are participating in the exhibition, the booths are expensive, and the booths in the D2 area are excellent, and they are located in the center of the entire exhibition center."
"No matter which area you look at, you can see the reception at the booth in D2, and it's so high-profile, so the price is certainly not cheap."
Seeing Gu Chen nodding silently, he seemed a little admired.
The tall and thin security guard said again: "But then again, George is holding a brand reception here. He is really a marketing genius. This traffic is properly placed and accurately placed."
"It can be said that no passer-by or dealer who comes to the exhibition center pays attention to this H brand."
"According to this calculation, in fact, people are not losing money, at least they have earned word of mouth."
"So that's the case?" Gu Chen chuckled, and said again: "But I have a question that I don't understand."
"What questions do you not understand?" Seeing that Gu Chen was so curious, the sturdy security guard also asked.
Gu Chen replied with a faint smile: "Mr. George, the founder of the H jewelry brand, has spent a lot of resources on holding receptions here. Could it be that he just chatted with many dealers or guests, or something?"
"Haha, of course not." Seeing Gu Chen's sharp question, the tall and thin security guard smiled coldly: "There is nothing attractive, how can these dealers flock to it? Of course there is a baby."
"Baby?" Hearing the words of the tall and thin security guard, Gu Chen was taken aback for a moment.
Snitch Liu Liuyuan is a criminal who has been making waves in Jiangnan City for many years, and now he has gone to great lengths to come here through a second disguise. It feels like he is not just here for a reception.
Moreover, Gu Chen also learned from the tone of the two security guards that most of the people who came here to participate in the event were dealers or some distinguished guests.
But look at Liu Yuan again, among other things, how could he, who has been keeping a low profile in Lanshan City, become the guest of George, the founder of the H jewelry brand?
From this point of view, Gu Chen felt quite tricky.
At this moment, Lu Weiwei's phone call came in.
Gu Chen put on the wireless bluetooth headset again, pretended to answer the phone, and walked to a corner near the reception.
"What's wrong, Senior Sister Lu?" Gu Chen asked.
Lu Weiwei quickly responded: "Junior Brother Gu, have you found any traces of Liu Yuan?"
"This..." Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, turned to look at the reception area, and smiled awkwardly: "Here is a jewelry brand reception, the boss is a foreigner, you need an invitation card signed by the boss to enter .”
"Ah? Still want an invitation card?" Hearing Gu Chen's speech, Lu Weiwei glanced at Zhao He beside him.
Zhao He immediately said: "You ask Captain Gu to wait, I will communicate with their people."
"Okay." Lu Weiwei nodded silently, and then said to the phone: "Junior Brother Gu, Officer Zhao asked you to wait a moment, he is communicating with the security personnel."
"Okay, I'll wait." Gu Chen also knew that this kind of thing can't be rushed.
On the other side, in the monitoring room, after Zhao He communicated with two security personnel, the security personnel contacted their superiors, and after getting confirmation, they nodded to Zhao He.
"Finished?" Zhao He asked.
A chubby security guard nodded and said: "It's done, the manager said he was calling the two security guards and told them not to embarrass Captain Gu."
Hearing what the security guard said, Lu Weiwei hurriedly said to the phone: "Junior Brother Gu, wait a little longer, their manager is already contacting the two security guards, and ask them not to embarrass you."
"clear."
As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, the cell phone of the sturdy security guard rang.
The sturdy security guard didn't say anything, and directly swiped the answer button.
"Yes, yes, that's right." Glancing at Gu Chen in front of him, the sturdy security guard was a little surprised: "Yes, there is a handsome guy in front of me, yes, he is standing opposite me, what? Let him in?"
Looking up at Gu Chen again, the sturdy security guard nodded and said: "Understood, I know, um."
After hanging up the phone, the sturdy security guard took the initiative to walk up to Gu Chen and asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Gu?"
"That's right, your leader must have told you already, right?" Gu Chen asked.
The sturdy security guard nodded and said, "Yes, you can go in now."
"Thank you." Gu Chen thanked him and walked directly into the reception area of the reception.
At this moment, another tall and thin security guard looked at Gu Chen's back, and then walked up to the sturdy security guard and asked, "Hey, what's the matter with you? Didn't Mr. George say that? And it's Qian Dingwan." I told you that you must see your own autographed invitation post before you can put it in, why did you..."
"Damn, can this be my fault?" Feeling that the tall and thin security guard didn't understand the situation, the sturdy security guard explained directly: "He is a policeman and is investigating the case. The leader asked us to cooperate and don't talk nonsense, so as not to startle the snake or something."
Glancing at Gu Chen's back, the sturdy security guard also let out a long sigh: "Oh, I don't know anyway, anyway, the leader told us not to worry about it, just do our own job well."
"Yeah." Hearing the words of the sturdy security guard, the tall and thin security guard didn't ask any more questions.
……
……
On the other side, Gu Chen had already walked into the venue.
The venue area is made of antique decoration materials, and red gauze curtains need to be swept in and out.
The various decorations inside are also dazzling.
And in the center of the reception venue, there is a temporary stage with many ribbons left on it.
Gu Chen looked around, there were even trophies and certificates on the drinking tables of several men.
No need to guess, the awards ceremony may have just been held here, and several outstanding dealers may have taken home trophies and bonuses.
At this time, everyone seemed to be talking to each other.
There are some white faces among them.
And Gu Chen also made a general observation. Almost everyone here is in suits and leather shoes, and foreigners account for [-]%.
Otherwise, how to say international style?
However, Gu Chen felt that these foreign men and women with good figures and good looks were more like the boss, George, who temporarily hired models and actors to act as his dealers in order to give his brand a face.
This makes people look at it, and the grade suddenly rises.
In many luxury industries, the bosses of many brands invite models to shoot, and they prefer to invite some foreign faces.
It is clearly a Chinese brand, but there is not a single Chinese face on the promotional posters, but all foreign faces.
In this way, perhaps at the beginning, foreign models wearing clothes of Chinese brands would look like big brands and international models.
Especially in the luxury goods industry, most of the jewelry advertisements are foreign faces, some Asian faces, which are also the endorsements of domestic first-line stars.
It can be seen that many bosses have put in a lot of effort to improve the level of luxury goods.
At least it's okay to deceive some dealers who have never seen the world, telling them that anyone who cooperates with the H brand can make money.
Cutting leeks has always started with envy and admiration...
Although the reception reception was high-end, Gu Chen's heart was not here, but he was looking for Liu Yuan's trace.
But what is very troublesome is that everyone at the reception is in suits and leather shoes, making people dazzled.
It seems that it is not easy to find Liu Yuan among the many men in suits.
Especially in crowded places, many people are blocked.
If Gu Chen blatantly went looking for them one by one, it would make the meeting place embarrassing.
What Gu Chen has to do now is to find Liu Yuan quietly and control him so as not to interfere with the event.
But when Gu Chen was wondering where to start looking, an old foreign man with a loose Chinese accent suddenly exclaimed.
This cry made everyone on the scene startled, and everyone immediately turned their eyes to the source of the sound, wanting to see what happened just now?
Gu Chen also took this opportunity to get closer and stood in the crowd.
"What's the matter with you, Mr. George?" a man in a black suit asked.
George looked shocked, but didn't know what to say for a moment.
This made many people on the scene anxious.
A fat man asked curiously, "Mr. George, are you okay?"
"That's not right." With a loose Chinese accent, the old man named George shook his head in doubt: "There are obviously 100 pearls, but why is there one missing?"
"Old man, oh no, George... sir, you say you lost a pearl?"
"That's right." George frowned, and he also looked puzzled. You all know that just now I showed you the pearl necklace I put in a precious antique box, but now I will pass on the necklace for you to appreciate again. When I got it back, there were only 99 pearls on it, but there were obviously 100 pearls. "
"100 pearls?"
"100 pearls become 99?"
"Why is there one missing? Will it fall somewhere?"
"Are you stupid? These pearls are strung up, how could they fall?"
"that's true."
After a brief discussion among many people, a fat middle-aged man asked George: "Mr. George, could it be that there were originally 99 pearls in the pearl necklace you showed us?"
"No, I made it according to 100 pearls, and this kind of pearl is extremely rare and very valuable."
"This was made under my supervision, how could there be 99 pieces?"
Glancing at a tall and thin white man beside him, George said again: "Chandler, do you think so?"
"That's right, this string of precious pearl necklaces is indeed an integer of 100, and it is impossible for there to be 99."
"Yes." Just as Chandler finished speaking, another man wearing glasses also voluntarily admitted: "When I was appreciating just now, because I was curious, I also counted the number of pearls privately. It is indeed 100."
"I can also be sure." Another bald man said: "I also counted, and it is indeed 100."
"Haha." Hearing these words, a fat man couldn't help laughing dryly.
Seeing this, George hurriedly asked, "Mr. Gao, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing that you may have counted wrongly, right? Do you want to stop counting?"
"Count?" George frowned.
The dealer surnamed Gao asked such a question, but it made him lose his confidence.
But just now George had already counted three times, and only then did he make a surprised movement.
Afraid of George's old eyesight, Mr. Gao, the fat man, took the initiative to step forward and said with a smile: "Don't bother Mr. George, this time I will count for you."
"Okay." Upon hearing this, George handed over a pair of white gloves beside him to Mr. Gao.
The fat man, Mr. Gao, also immediately started counting pearls.
Others gradually gathered around...
Every time Mr. Gao moved away, everyone also did the mental calculations.
A dial.
Do the math.
Soon, the numbers came out.
"99 pieces?" The chubby Mr. Gao was stunned, and after looking up at the crowd, he also said in a daze, "How about... counting again?"
"Let's count again." The man with glasses said.
This time, Mr. Gao was very focused, and his counting speed was much faster than before.
But after one round, Mr. Gao was stunned again.
He didn't speak, he held back the numbers and counted again.
"Damn, what's going on?" After counting for the third time, Mr. Gao said in surprise, "It's still 99. Could it be that the other one has disappeared?"
"what?"
"Flying away?"
"Is it really 99?"
"Aren't there 100 before that?"
"That's right, the pearls are connected in series, it's impossible to remove one by itself."
……
For a while, there were different opinions at the reception.
Everyone was dazed by this wave of sudden events.
George had indeed circulated this string of pearls to everyone at the venue, and at that time, because of the pearls inside, George was blown away.
Everyone is an expert in the jewelry industry, so they naturally know how fine the pearl is.
So everyone asked to pass on the treasures one after another, and Mr. George agreed when he was happy.
But this pass doesn't matter, something happened.
The original 100 pearl necklace instantly became 99.
Mr. George was so frightened that he was extremely anxious.
But when everyone was confused and didn't know what to do, a voice came from behind the crowd.
"Mr. George, you just said that you packed this string of pearls in an ancient box, right?"
When everyone heard the words, they all looked behind them.
Gu Chen was standing there right now, but Liu Yuan couldn't find him, but he had been listening to these people for a long time.
But because George lost a pearl, it aroused Gu Chen's curiosity.
In Gu Chen's perception, this is probably the masterpiece of the thief Liu who sneaked into the reception.
But if you want to know the reason, you must know the process.
Gu Chen just came here, so Gu Chen didn't know anything about what happened here before, so he asked curiously.
Looking at Gu Chen, Qiao Zhi couldn't remember which dealer's son Gu Chen was.
After all, many distributors brought their families to attend the reception.
So George nodded silently, and responded to Gu Chen: "That's right, this string of pearls is very precious. I have always used this same expensive European ancient box to pack it."
"And this ancient box, I haven't told you about it before. This European ancient box is a masterpiece of the famous craftsman Jones."
"And before his death, he only completed four such caskets in total, all of which were dedicated to the king and queen of the time."
Looking up at everyone, George was also quite emotional: "Fortunately, I got one of them through many ways."
"That's why I cherish it very much, so I put the pearl necklace in this ancient box, and there are a total of 100 pearls on the pearl necklace, which also echoes the 100 bird reliefs on the ancient box."
"But I don't know what's going on? I just lent it to you for admiration. After I got it back, there was only a brief award ceremony. When I got it back and counted it, I found that there were only 99 pearls in this string."
"I think this ancient box seems to be opened with a key?" Although Gu Chen stood far away, using his master-level observation skills, he was able to clearly see that the European ancient box was locked with a key.
George nodded silently: "Yes, it was opened with a key."
"The key should still be with you, right?" Gu Chen asked.
"Yes." George continued.
Gu Chen snapped his fingers: "Isn't that right? Since you keep the key, how can anyone else open it? So the pearl necklace should always stay in the box, unless..."
After the words fell, Gu Chen suddenly thought for a few seconds.
"Except...unless what?" Fat Mr. Gao asked a little impatiently.
Gu Chen raised his head and stared at George: "Unless Mr. George's key was stolen."
"what?"
Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, everyone immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.
When George heard this, he panicked. He quickly touched his chest, and immediately took out a golden key.
"Isn't this here?" George raised the golden key high.
Gu Chen asked: "Then did you use this key to open it just now?"
"Yes, but..."
George was halfway through speaking, but suddenly fell silent.
"But...but what? Mr. George." A curious tall, thin, bespectacled man asked.
George looked up, but his brows were tightly furrowed: "But it's strange, I always hang the golden key to lock the ancient box around my neck."
"But just now, I opened the European ancient box and took out the string of pearls for everyone to appreciate, because it is a treasure in itself, and everyone is interested in seeing it, so I agreed, but I found a question."
"What's the question?" Gu Chen asked directly.
"The first time I took out the golden key to open the ancient box, everything was normal, but the second time I opened it, just now, I found that the golden lock on the European ancient box was actually broken, as if someone wanted to force it open. "
After a pause, seeing everyone looking at each other in dismay, George said again: "I think my golden key is not working, so I can only pick the golden lock, but fortunately the pearl necklace is still in the box, so I breathe a sigh of relief .”
Looking up at Gu Chen, George continued: "But you may not know, I am a very suspicious person, so I counted the pearls on the pearl necklace again, but the strange thing is, there are only 99 pearls this time! I counted It’s been like this several times.”
"Could it be stolen?" Everyone was surprised.
100 pearls suddenly turned into 99, you dare not play tricks like this?
Ordinary props are fine, but these are rare pearls that are worth a lot of money, and if one is missing, it will be priceless.
Hearing George's speech, Gu Chen crossed his arms and thought for a moment before saying, "Just now you said that the golden lock can't be opened, so it means that someone might want to take advantage of the gap between your awards, Managed to open this old European box."
"And at the same time broke the very valuable golden lock, but..."
Having said this, Gu Chen hesitated for a moment.
"But what?" Several dealers asked Gu Chen in unison.
"But why, the person who stole the rare pearls, he only took one? And he locked it again, don't you think it's strange?"
"That's right, it's so strange." The chubby Mr. Gao was stunned, and he couldn't help but say, "If someone wants to steal the pearls, why didn't they take all the pearls after opening the ancient box, and only stole a few pearls?" one?"
Shaking his head, Mr. Gao also couldn't understand: "In my opinion, this operation coefficient is not high, but it is extremely insulting."
"Yes, who is so arrogant? To steal only one pearl?"
"If you want me to say, this is the time to take one pearl from the pearl necklace, it is better to take the whole pearl necklace."
"Well, what's the matter with stealing one? Is this intentionally insulting Mr. George? Is it intentionally insulting the H jewelry brand?"
……
It was also under the question of Gu Chen's soul that everyone immediately discussed heatedly.
The scene of the reception reception suddenly became a mess.
"It's unreasonable." George imitated the Chinese way of getting angry, using a loose Chinese accent, and punched the table.
"It must be a competitor's trick. It must be. This is nothing more than trying to humiliate me, George."
"Seeing me, George, show off in the exhibition, they are very upset. They deliberately insulted my H jewelry brand by stealing a rare pearl from me. It is simply unforgivable."
George was really angry at this moment. He stared at the two security guards at the door and shouted loudly, "Security! Where is the security?"
"coming."
The two security guards who let Gu Chen in just now rushed over when they heard George's call.
George roared angrily: "Someone stole a precious pearl from me at my venue. As the organizer and security force, you have an inescapable responsibility. You must compensate me for all my losses. You must compensate. "
"No." The sturdy security guard also heard some general information outside just now, but George had to ask his unit to compensate for the loss in a blink of an eye.
The sturdy security guard was a little confused, and didn't know what to do for a while.
George didn't care so much, he grabbed the collar of the sturdy security guard, and said angrily: "Is this how you Chinese do security? Damn it, I came to Lanshan City to participate in this exhibition with such precious jewelry Activities, but what did you bring me? Damn."
"No." Hearing George's attitude, the sturdy security guard immediately wanted to take off his collar.
But George's hands were tightly grasped, and the sturdy security guard couldn't break free for a while.
But when he heard that the problem had been raised to the level of what happened in China, Biao Zhuang was also a little dissatisfied and said: "Can we talk slowly if we have something to say? Don't shout here and affect other exhibitors."
"I don't care." George, who was so angry at the moment, had already lost his gentleman's coat, and roared, "I have lost a precious pearl now, what do you think should I do?"
"What should I do?" The sturdy security guard looked around and said helplessly, "How do I know what to do? Was it lost at the reception?"
"Where else is there?" George said with an indignant expression.
At this moment, Gu Chen stepped forward, pushed aside George's grasping hands of the sturdy security guard, and said indifferently: "Mr. Where is the flaw?"
"Even if you yell here, you can't solve the fundamental problem. If so, it's better to solve the problem calmly."
When Gu Chen said this, a white assistant beside George immediately stepped forward to persuade him, "That's right, Mr. George, the most important thing for us now is to find the lost pearl."
"Damn it." George straightened his shirt, and said angrily, "Back then, your organizers invited me to participate in the exhibition anyway."
"Okay, I'm here, and I've booked the most expensive venue and the largest area in the venue, but what has this brought me?"
Pointing at the two security guards in front of him, George also looked angry: "Just arrange two security guards outside the reception, are you looking down on me, George?"
George, who felt humiliated, was already furious at this moment.
It seems that it is difficult to suppress his anger by persuasion.
Gu Chen smiled lightly, and asked him directly: "I said, Mr. George, why are you always obsessed with this pearl? Can you show me your box?"
"Why do you want that?" George, who felt a little distrustful of the Chinese, immediately looked at Gu Chen vigilantly.
Gu Chen said indifferently: "I want to check the problem of the box, didn't you say so? It seems that you can't open the lock with your golden key. You are right, right?"
"No... that's right, so what?" George was puzzled.
Gu Chen didn't talk nonsense with him, and bypassed George directly, and came to the wooden table where the ancient European box was placed, and carefully picked up the ancient box, and gently opened the ancient box.
"Be careful, don't break this thing." Seeing Gu Chen picking up the ancient box and admiring the pearls, George quickly reached out to grab it.
Gu Chen stretched out his hand to block it, and then said again: "Please don't be so excited? Haven't you thought about why the other party only stole one pearl from you?"
When asked by Gu Chen, George was at a loss for words and didn't know how to answer for a while.
At this time, Gu Chen said again: "Besides, you are the owner of a well-known international jewelry brand. Can you explain to me how you took off one of these strings of pearls intact?"
"I……"
Asked again by Gu Chen, George's face turned red immediately.
But these problems have always troubled George, and George didn't know what kind of ghost operation this was, it was murderous and extremely insulting.
Seeing that George was speechless, Gu Chen simply took out his mobile phone and called Yuan Shasha directly.
At this moment, Yuan Shasha, who had been waiting for news in the monitoring room, was squatting on the console for a while.
Yuan Shasha was startled by a phone call.
"It's Senior Brother Gu's call." Yuan Shasha said in surprise after seeing it.
"Hurry up and ask him how he is doing now?" Lu Weiwei said.
"Yeah." Yuan Shasha didn't care too much at the moment.
After all, what is Gu Chen doing calling himself instead of calling Lu Weiwei?
Thinking of this, Yuan Shasha connected the call directly.
"Hello, Senior Brother Gu."
"Xiao Yuan, come over right now. It's in the D2 exhibition area, at the reception reception of the H jewelry brand." Gu Chen said.
……
(End of this chapter)
After hanging up the phone, Zhao He walked up to Gu Chen with a heavy heart, his face full of joy, anger, sorrow and joy.
Gu Chen asked him curiously: "What's the matter, Officer Zhao? Is there any news about Liu Yuan?"
"Gu Dui, our people have already found Liu Yuan's trace, but I want to ask you, how powerful is this Liu Yuan?"
"How powerful?" Gu Chen didn't say anything, but Police Officer Wang smiled cheerfully: "What should I say? This Liu Yuan is notorious in Jiangnan City. Before committing crimes, he has always come and gone without a trace. No one has seen him. true appearance."
"It took us a lot of effort to finally find out that his name is Liu Yuan, and we let him get away with it for 10 years."
"10 years?" Zhao He was a little shocked when he heard this number.
It's not that the police in Jiangnan City are too incompetent, after all, there are many capable people in Jiangnan City, but Liu Yuan was allowed to stay outside for 10 years, which shows that Liu Yuan still has some skills.
At least the police in Jiangnan City couldn't do anything to him.
No wonder everyone nicknamed him "Snitch Liu". It can be seen that Liu Yuan, the Snitch, is a master that the Jiangnan police can't help.
"What's the matter, Officer Zhao? Do you have something on your mind?" Seeing that Zhao He finished asking the question, he suddenly fell into deep thought.
Gu Chen couldn't figure it out, so he hurriedly asked him.
Zhao He waved his hand and looked at Gu Chen seriously: "I think you should take him away as soon as possible. It doesn't feel like a good thing to let such a difficult guy stay in our Lanshan City."
"Of course." Officer Wang said with a smile, "Why don't you let us come here? Isn't it just to arrest the snitch Liu?"
"Then let me tell you where he is now." Zhao He calmed down before explaining to everyone.
"Today in our Lanshan City, there is a luxury goods fair. Snitch Liu is there now. I suspect he must be going back to his old business and has his eye on a certain luxury item."
"Luxury Fair?" Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, then quickly asked, "Where's the address?"
"In the exhibition center." Zhao He said.
"Take us there." Gu Chen also realized the weirdness of the situation.
To say that other criminals go to this kind of place, I don't think it's too outrageous, but letting a professional thief go to this kind of luxury fair, it can be seen that it is a habit.
Just as Zhao He guessed, Snitch Liu may have already set his sights on a certain item and is thinking about it.
Without further ado, everyone reached a consensus in a short time.
Zhao He drove in front, while Gu Chen followed behind.
After a short 30-minute drive, everyone finally came to the Lanshan Convention and Exhibition Center, a huge egg-shaped building.
The periphery of the exhibition center is surrounded by many iron guardrails to form access passages.
Wear a mask to scan the QR code when entering and exiting.
There are automatic thermometers at each entrance and exit to ensure that the temperature detection is normal.
There are security guards at the entrance and exit, and a fire truck is parked not far away.
As a large-scale event site, the presence of firefighters will effectively guarantee the safety of the event.
After Gu Chen and the others scanned the QR code, they walked into the venue wearing masks.
Several men and women wearing vests of Red Cross volunteers were standing outside chatting with each other.
Yuan Shasha looked around and asked Zhao He: "Officer Zhao, did your colleague tell me where Liu Yuan is?"
"Not this one, but it must still be inside, because he has been watching the surveillance cameras at various entrances, and I also specially told him not to let Liu Yuan go away, so you can rest assured."
"It's enough to have your words." Looking at the huge building structure, Yuan Shasha felt guilty: "But the guild hall is so big, and there are so many people coming and going, so it's not easy to find this Liu Yuan?"
"Let's do this." Zhao He, who knew it was difficult to find someone, offered to propose: "I am wearing a police uniform, and it is more ostentatious when I walk in the guild hall. If Liu Yuan wants to commit crimes in the guild hall and finds out that I am looking for someone, he will definitely have some scruples .”
"So I decided, I'll go to the monitoring room of the guild hall and help you find in the monitoring room of the guild hall to see where this Liu Yuan is."
Looking at Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, Zhao He said again: "But you are different, you have been wearing casual clothes, and Liu Yuan has never seen you, you go to the venue and look for it, maybe Liu Yuan is not No doubt, what do you think?"
"Officer Zhao is still thoughtful, I think it will work." Gu Chen agreed with Zhao He's opinion.
After all, letting Zhao He follow everyone will definitely attract the attention of the surrounding people.
Even though Gu Chen and the others were not wearing police uniforms, walking with policemen in uniforms would inevitably remind people of plainclothes.
So the best way is to act separately.
Gu Chen also just needs a partner who can cooperate in the monitoring room of the guild hall.
Zhao He is familiar with this area, with him in charge, Gu Chen feels that the problem should not be serious.
Several people discussed briefly at the entrance, and Zhao He went directly to the monitoring room.
On the other hand, Gu Chen fetched a booklet from a long table.
This is the distribution map of the hall's activities, as well as the schedule of various performances.
In this booklet, Gu Chen can clearly see the specific location of each exhibition area.
Gu Chen also learned about the exhibitors from the brochure, mainly jewelers.
Bringing together some well-known domestic brands...
In addition, some international brands also participated in the exhibition.
It can be said that the whole exhibition area is very lively.
Especially as the end of the year is approaching, many brands have sales plans.
Therefore, in terms of discount strength, various brands are also crazily sharing profits.
Coupled with the performances of some programs and lucky draws by merchants, this keeps the flow of people at the exhibition at a high level.
At this moment, Gu Chen called everyone together and began to deploy: "There are many exhibition areas here, divided into A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and each large area will be divided into several small areas. , so we can’t look for people indiscriminately, I think we should start from Area A and check in order.”
"I agree with Junior Brother Gu's opinion." Lu Weiwei also raised her hand in agreement: "And we can't search separately, we have to concentrate on the investigation, four people, scan over one by one, don't miss any details."
"I think Senior Sister Lu's opinion is feasible." Seeing Lu Weiwei expressing her opinion, Yuan Shasha also offered to suggest: "We can form a row and walk over one by one, but the rows should not be too obvious, some people can be in front, and some people Can be behind."
"In this way, it won't arouse others' suspicion, and we can check every blind spot."
"Yes, I have no objection." Officer Wang also agreed with the method of several people.
Seeing this, Gu Chen also nodded and said: "Then follow Xiao Yuan's method, everyone is based on the horizontal row, you can go forward or backward, and pay attention to everyone around you, but don't observe too clearly."
"After all, Snitch Liu is a cunning loach. If he notices something is wrong, it will be a little troublesome. Do you understand?"
"understand!"
Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, everyone echoed in low voices.
Gu Chen looked around and said, "Then let's start from Area A1. Anyone who finds Snitch Liu, please keep quiet and don't let him find out."
"Gu Chen, don't worry about this. After all, tracking targets is our forte." Officer Wang still maintained enough confidence in his own people.
After all, everyone is a well-trained policeman, and everyone has relevant follow-up practices. Therefore, everyone can know their colleagues well about the implementation of tasks.
"Very good." Gu Chen nodded silently, looked towards the A1 area not far away, and said, "I'm at the front, you all divide up the positions, don't stand in a row, start to act."
Following the deployment of Gu Chen's mission, the entire investigation team immediately became busy.
Everyone walked around in the passage outside the exhibition area at will, observing everything with appreciative eyes.
In order to cover herself, Lu Weiwei even went to the popcorn stand outside the exhibition area, bought a box of popcorn for herself, and watched it while eating, feeling very comfortable.
With the further expansion of the scope of investigation, Gu Chen did not find any trace of Liu Yuan.
This made Gu Chen very confused.
At least this convention and exhibition center itself is a very mobile exhibition hall.
Except for the exhibitors, tourists flow freely, so investigation is only a means.
From Area A to Area D, everyone spent a lot of time, but still could not find Liu Yuan's trace.
At this moment, Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and directly dialed Zhao He's number.
Not long after, Zhao He's phone was connected.
"Gu team."
"Officer Zhao, did you find anything here?" Gu Chen hid in a corner and answered the phone in a low voice.
Zhao He said: "No, here is only the surveillance footage of Liu Yuan walking into the guild hall, and then disappearing into the crowd. I have been investigating for a long time, but I still haven't found any trace of Liu Yuan."
"How could it be?" Hearing Zhao He's words, Gu Chen frowned.
It can be seen that in terms of monitoring and investigation, Zhao He is obviously incomparable with He Junchao.
But Liu Yuan's anti-reconnaissance ability is not ruled out.
You know, when Liu Yuan committed crimes in Jiangnan City, he never let the police track him down.
On the one hand, thanks to Liu Yuan's very familiarity with the monitoring positions near the road, he knows how to move in order to avoid tracking.
There is also the surveillance situation inside the building.
No matter how intensive the monitoring is, there will be loopholes.
This is the magic weapon for Liu Yuan to be unable to be caught by the police after the theft.
Zhao He, who was on the phone, also heard Gu Chen's dissatisfaction from the phone, so he hurriedly explained to himself:
"Gu Dui, to be honest, I suspect that this Liu Yuan is deliberately avoiding the surveillance cameras."
"How?" Gu Chen asked.
"First of all, to enter the venue, you need to scan the code to measure the temperature. This is the only way to find his trace."
"But after entering the venue, there was only a wave of crowds, and he disappeared in an instant. Later, I also called up some other surveillance cameras to look for it, but to no avail."
After a pause, Zhao He said again: "Think about it, how could this guy disappear suddenly? He must have his own little plan."
"As for the others, no matter how they go, I can find traces in other surveillance stations, except Liu Yuan."
"I see, you wait for me in the monitoring room." Knowing that it would be fruitless to continue the investigation like this, he heard the situation from Zhao He again.
Gu Chen suddenly felt that the situation was not that simple.
You know, this is a luxury fair, and many products are expensive.
But when the luxury goods met the Snitch Liu, Gu Chen wasn't sure if this guy would use his brains on the items here, so he could only temporarily stop the search and signaled everyone to go to the monitoring room together.
At this moment, there are three members in the monitoring room.
Except for Zhao He, both of them are security guards.
Seeing four people entering the house, there were security personnel who wanted to stop them, but Zhao He stopped them in time.
"It's all our own people, you continue to work." Zhao He said.
The two security guards nodded silently, and then continued to monitor the screen.
And Zhao He pulled Gu Chen to a screen: "Captain Gu, look."
During the conversation, Zhao He clicked to play.
This is a playback screen.
In the screen, Liu Yuan's figure did appear.
However, after passing the body temperature test and scanning the code, Liu Yuan began to observe left and right.
Professional sensitivity told Gu Chen that Liu Yuan seemed to be looking for an opportunity.
Sure enough, after determining the approximate degree of crowding, Liu Yuan squeezed into the crowd directly.
Coupled with dexterous positioning, he quickly disappeared into the crowd.
"Where are the other recent monitors?" Gu Chen asked.
"It's all here." Zhao He continued to click to play, and immediately, several other surveillance cameras were also capturing at the same time.
However, the passers-by who appeared in the entrance monitoring before have already appeared in several other monitoring ranges.
But only this Liu Yuan seemed to disappear out of thin air.
"Is there any other monitoring?" Gu Chen asked.
Zhao He shook his head: "If you want to lead to the main passages here, you must be within the monitoring range of these few, but Liu Yuan does not, so I am very puzzled."
"Afterwards, I checked other nearby surveillance cameras, but no matter how I checked, I couldn't find Liu Yuan anymore. This guy seemed to have disappeared."
"No, how could a person disappear out of thin air? He must have used a certain trick to deceive your sight."
As an old comrade, Police Officer Wang did not show such impatience like Zhao He, but analyzed it objectively.
Gu Chen also nodded silently, and said, "Senior Brother Wang is right, so what does this Liu Yuan want to do? We must find out."
After looking at the monitoring screen, Gu Chen said again: "Well, you stay in the monitoring room and pay close attention to the big screen."
"I'll go to the place where Liu Yuan disappeared just now, let's simulate it on the spot."
"Yes." Lu Weiwei agreed.
Yuan Shasha also said, "I have no objection."
"That's fine." Seeing that Gu Chen was going to the exhibition hall, Police Officer Wang said indifferently: "Put on the wireless Bluetooth headset and contact me anytime."
"No problem." Gu Chen took out the wireless earphones and stuffed them into both ears, then turned around and walked along the road when he first came, out of everyone's sight.
Zhao He regretted a bit and said: "I should go there with Captain Gu. He must not know much about the Lanshan City Convention and Exhibition Center for the first time, and he will waste time if he gets lost later, or... I will go with him ?”
"No need." Seeing Zhao He making a fuss, Lu Weiwei smiled lightly and said, "When I entered the exhibition hall just now, Junior Brother Gu took a look at the brochure."
"As for the distribution of the exhibition hall and the specific location of each booth, Junior Brother Gu only needs to read it once, and he probably has a good idea."
"So powerful? There are many large areas and small areas here. Even if I don't walk around it once or twice, it's hard to figure out the approximate location."
"Don't worry." Seeing that Zhao He couldn't believe it, Lu Weiwei said again: "Junior Brother Gu has a good brain and a strong memory, so we don't have to worry about him."
During the conversation, Gu Chen appeared at the exit in an instant, and Lu Weiwei hurriedly said, "Look, it's Junior Brother Gu, and he has arrived at the designated location."
At this moment, Lu Weiwei's cell phone rang, and it was a voice call from Gu Chen.
Lu Weiwei didn't think much, and turned on the speakerphone directly.
"Senior Sister Lu, I have arrived at the designated location, can you see me now?" Gu Chen asked.
Lu Weiwei smiled and said: "I can see you, even if I leave my Junior Brother Gu in the crowd, I can still see you."
"Uh..." Police Officer Wang couldn't help but shudder when he heard the words: "I said Lu Weiwei, what time is it, are you calling as a couple? Can you be serious?"
"But I'm already serious." Lu Weiwei shrugged, as if you were blaming me.
Officer Wang shook his head, and said to the phone: "Gu Chen, we can already see your exact location."
"Okay, now I just need to get out of the surveillance line of sight, you remember to tell me." Gu Chen said.
Officer Wang smiled and said, "No problem."
After completing the simple confirmation, Gu Chen began to follow the situation seen on the surveillance screen, followed the crowd, and walked slowly inside.
Especially the place where Snitch Liu disappeared, which was the edge of the blind spot of the exit monitoring.
Gu Chen also followed the example of the snitch Liu Liuyuan, observing the surrounding situation left and right.
Pay particular attention to the degree of crowding.
Afterwards, Gu Chen found the right moment, and went straight into the crowd, and quickly disappeared into the blind spot of monitoring.
"Junior Brother Gu, you have already stepped out of the monitoring range." Lu Weiwei quickly reminded.
"I know."
During the conversation, Gu Chen stepped back and asked, "What about now?"
"Now?" Lu Weiwei said with a light smile while eating popcorn, "I can see you now."
"Okay, I know the approximate range. I'm going out of the surveillance area now. Remember to tell me when you see me on the surveillance screen again." Gu Chen said.
"Okay." Lu Weiwei nodded and said yes.
At this moment, Gu Chen looked around and found a toilet sign on the side.
When everyone entered the door before, Gu Chen also noticed briefly, but didn't pay much attention.
But after looking at the monitoring at this time, and discovering the location of the toilet, Gu Chen suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"Could it be that this is where Liu Yuan escaped from the monitoring?" Based on the principle of figuring out the situation, Gu Chen walked over directly and followed the sign of the toilet to enter it.
Since the toilet is being repaired, the organizers surrounded the toilet with iron bars and cordoned it off.
So most passers-by will not go to this place.
But here is precisely the monitoring blind spot.
Gu Chen felt that Liu Yuan might have a lot to do here.
This is a public toilet area. There are only two toilets for men and women.
Gu Chen checked one by one, and found that there is no way to hide people here.
And even if Liu Yuan wants to get rid of the surveillance, he must pass through the surveillance area if he wants to enter the main venue.
Gu Chen looked at the road in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh: "Impossible, if people want to go out, they will definitely pass through the monitoring range."
"No matter what, he will be photographed, but how did this Liu Yuan escape the surveillance? If he didn't come out, he wouldn't be photographed, but the two toilets here have been closed, and Liu Yuan's body has not been seen. trace."
Thinking of these, Gu Chen was puzzled.
But after calming down, it is not difficult for Gu Chen to find out that the fact that Liu Yuan disappeared in the abandoned toilet does not mean that Liu Yuan did not go out.
Reminiscent of Liu Yuan's habit of looking left and right when he entered the entrance passage, he seemed to be paying attention to the crowds around him.
The purpose of doing this kind of unintentional action is nothing more than to avoid monitoring.
But since he didn't commit crimes, why should he care about the surveillance over his head?
Therefore, Gu Chen believes that Liu Yuan's purpose of coming here at this time is absolutely extraordinary.
Due to the crimes committed by Liu Yuan in Jiangnan City, Gu Chen has reason to believe that Liu Yuan must be eyeing something in the exhibition center.
But since no trace of Liu Yuan can be caught in the surveillance, it's a bit strange.
Just as Gu Chen was thinking, a parent with two children happened to walk in to see the exhibition.
A little boy was crying and yelling to undress.
The mother was very helpless, and reminded that undressing would cause a cold, so she asked the little boy to wear it.
But the little boy kept shouting hot.
As a mother, I can only choose to compromise, so after communicating with the little girl, I changed the little boy with the little girl's coat, and said in my mouth:
"It's absolutely impossible to take off your clothes. The temperature is so low today, so it's a bit sunny at this time, so it's warmer."
"But once the time passes, the temperature will drop immediately. Come on, don't wear your thick clothes, and wear sister's thinner head office?"
The little boy hesitated for a moment, but he still chose to listen to his mother and put on the little girl's thin coat, while throwing his own coat to the little girl.
At this moment, the two happily followed their mother, trotting all the way to see the exhibition.
But at this time, a picture flashed in Gu Chen's mind.
"That's right, when we were looking for Liu Yuan, we only paid attention to his coat, which is unscientific."
"Even Liu Yuan, who is wearing a coat, can escape from the pursuit by changing clothes, and wearing other people's clothes to leave the surveillance blind spot and re-enter the surveillance range, so it will definitely be difficult to find that Liu Yuan has exchanged with others during surveillance. identity."
Watching the two children exchange clothes, he gave himself a hint.
Gu Chen expressed his relief, but at the same time another problem came up one after another.
"But did Liu Yuan change his casual clothes by himself? Or did he exchange casual clothes with someone else?"
Thinking of this, Gu Chen quickly reminded: "Senior Sister Lu, Liu Yuan may have changed his clothes and entered the monitoring range again."
"Help me check. Since Liu Yuan entered the monitoring blind spot, who have been to this blind spot before?"
"In addition, after Liu Yuan entered the monitoring blind spot, who were the people who came out of the monitoring blind spot? You only look at the person, don't care who it is."
"Understood." Lu Weiwei, who understood Gu Chen's meaning, hurriedly asked Zhao He to look for it again according to Gu Chen's request.
Thanks to Gu Chen's previous reminder, Zhao He found the person Gu Chen wanted in a short period of time.
"I found it. There is a person who is similar in stature to Liu Yuan. He did come out of the surveillance blind spot, but he is wearing a different color of clothes and has an extra baseball cap."
"Keep an eye on him, and then put together the surveillance to see where he is going?" Gu Chen said.
"Okay." There was another brief silence on the other side of Zhao He.
Five minutes later, Zhao He was overjoyed: "I found it. He went to the E5 area, and a monitoring blind spot in the E3 area disappeared again."
"Disappeared again?" Hearing Zhao He's words, Gu Chen also had a headache.
If you lose your position, what's the deal?
But with previous experience, Gu Chen feels that the problem is not big.
Then according to Zhao He's prompt, Gu Chen rushed to the E3 area and walked into the monitoring blind spot.
Lu Weiwei quickly reminded: "Junior Brother Gu, I can no longer see you."
"Understood." Gu Chen stopped and looked around.
There is no toilet as I thought it would be around, but there is an extra storage compartment.
Gu Chen walked over directly, opened the cubicle, and found a discarded piece of clothing inside.
"As expected." Gu Chen shook his head involuntarily.
"What's wrong, Junior Brother Gu?" Lu Weiwei who was in the monitoring room asked curiously after hearing Gu Chen's sigh.
Gu Chen said: "I didn't find a toilet here, but there is a storage compartment, and in the storage compartment, I found the clothes that Liu Yuan had discarded before."
"Is that so?" Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Lu Weiwei was puzzled and said, "Then according to what you said, does this Liu Yuan also store clothes here?"
"It's possible." Gu Chen looked at the clothes and explained, "Liu Yuan may have prepared several sets of clothes for himself to change in the exhibition center."
"In this way, the monitoring seems to be in the vast crowd, and it is difficult to find his existence."
"In other words, it's like he never came to the convention center at all."
"If that's the case, then he could have skipped some of the surveillance and showed up in other areas, and in other clothes, or in another image."
"Understood, I will keep a close eye on him." With previous experience, Lu Weiwei quickly found another mysterious man based on the monitoring time.
At this time, the mysterious man was wearing a slim suit.
This is completely inconsistent with Liu Yuan's image before.
But after Lu Weiwei zoomed in on the monitor, she found that although she had changed her clothes, Liu Yuan's body shape and height were still there.
This is a fact that no matter how you change it, you cannot get rid of it.
But at this moment, Liu Yuan seemed to have put on makeup.
The messy and loose hairstyle before was combed quite neatly at this moment.
Not only that, but the temperament of walking is completely different.
"Junior Brother Gu, I found it." Lu Weiwei was a little delighted.
Gu Chen hurriedly asked: "Where did he go? What does he look like now? Can you send me the surveillance screenshot?"
"No problem, I'll send it to you right now. He is now in a suit and leather shoes, heading towards D2 area." Lu Weiwei said.
"D2 area?" Gu Chen thought about it carefully, and then he remembered that there is a banquet area in D2 area, which is a place for private banquets.
Although it is in the center of the exhibition, there is a special reception table in the D2 area.
When Gu Chen and his colleagues searched Liu Yuan just now, they stayed for a minute.
The banquet center in D2 area is surrounded by guardrails, and there are security guards at the entrance and exit.
From the number of security guards at that time, it can be seen that there may be a lot of articles in it.
Gu Chen didn't want to think too much, and said directly: "The monitoring will continue to track, let's see where this guy has been? I am rushing to the D2 area now, hoping to meet him there."
"Okay, I'll continue to follow up." Lu Weiwei replied.
Soon, Gu Chen appeared on the surveillance screen and ran directly to the D2 area.
Seeing Gu Chen's skillful cooperation with several partners, as well as their investigation methods, Zhao He couldn't help thinking to himself.
It's no wonder that I searched the surveillance several times before but didn't have any clues. In order to avoid the surveillance surveillance, Liu Yuan, the co-author, even carried out two disguises.
It's no wonder that my eyes are cloudy. Fortunately, Gu Chen discovered the problem.
Thinking of these, Zhao He suddenly felt that Gu Chen might not be so simple.
……
……
On the other side, Gu Chen came to the D2 area. At this moment, a reception was still being held in the surrounding area. Just as Gu Chen wanted to go in to check, he was stopped by two security guards at the entrance.
"Excuse me, please show your invitation card." One of the tall and thin security guards said.
"Invitation card?" Gu Chen frowned.
Another well-built security guard and the tall and thin security guard looked at each other, then smiled and said, "You are just a passer-by, aren't you?"
"No, I want to ask, what kind of invitation card do I need to go in?" Gu Chen didn't know the situation here, so he hurriedly asked.
The tall and thin security guard said with a smile: "Here, the founder of the H jewelry brand, Mr. George's reception site is the place to entertain the agents of the H brand in the country. You need to hold an invitation letter written by the founder of the H jewelry brand, Mr. George. To be able to enter here to participate in the reception.”
"So that's the case?" Hearing the words of the tall and thin security guard, Gu Chen nodded silently, and couldn't help but tease: "What do I say? Why would someone set up a reception in the exhibition center? This foreigner's mind is really strange." .”
"Hehe." Seeing that Gu Chen didn't quite understand, the sturdy security guard also replied with a smile: "This is not for the purpose of showing the agents of other brands at the exhibition site to see how powerful the H brand is. "
"After all, this is the place with the highest traffic among peers. If you do something here, then you can properly advertise your brand."
Looking around, he found that the leader was not around, so the sturdy security guard leaned over and said in a low voice: "Do you know? Turning your own exhibition site, which occupies such a large area, into a reception, you know it will take a lot of money?" How much is it?"
"It's not low anyway." Gu Chen looked at the surrounding booths, and then at the reception reception area of the H Jewelry brand. He did some mental calculations and said, "The floor space is about the size of 12 ordinary exhibition areas, and the price should be the price of these exhibition areas." About 12 times of that?"
"That's right." Hearing this, the tall and thin security guard smiled and said, "At this time, if you are participating in the exhibition, the booths are expensive, and the booths in the D2 area are excellent, and they are located in the center of the entire exhibition center."
"No matter which area you look at, you can see the reception at the booth in D2, and it's so high-profile, so the price is certainly not cheap."
Seeing Gu Chen nodding silently, he seemed a little admired.
The tall and thin security guard said again: "But then again, George is holding a brand reception here. He is really a marketing genius. This traffic is properly placed and accurately placed."
"It can be said that no passer-by or dealer who comes to the exhibition center pays attention to this H brand."
"According to this calculation, in fact, people are not losing money, at least they have earned word of mouth."
"So that's the case?" Gu Chen chuckled, and said again: "But I have a question that I don't understand."
"What questions do you not understand?" Seeing that Gu Chen was so curious, the sturdy security guard also asked.
Gu Chen replied with a faint smile: "Mr. George, the founder of the H jewelry brand, has spent a lot of resources on holding receptions here. Could it be that he just chatted with many dealers or guests, or something?"
"Haha, of course not." Seeing Gu Chen's sharp question, the tall and thin security guard smiled coldly: "There is nothing attractive, how can these dealers flock to it? Of course there is a baby."
"Baby?" Hearing the words of the tall and thin security guard, Gu Chen was taken aback for a moment.
Snitch Liu Liuyuan is a criminal who has been making waves in Jiangnan City for many years, and now he has gone to great lengths to come here through a second disguise. It feels like he is not just here for a reception.
Moreover, Gu Chen also learned from the tone of the two security guards that most of the people who came here to participate in the event were dealers or some distinguished guests.
But look at Liu Yuan again, among other things, how could he, who has been keeping a low profile in Lanshan City, become the guest of George, the founder of the H jewelry brand?
From this point of view, Gu Chen felt quite tricky.
At this moment, Lu Weiwei's phone call came in.
Gu Chen put on the wireless bluetooth headset again, pretended to answer the phone, and walked to a corner near the reception.
"What's wrong, Senior Sister Lu?" Gu Chen asked.
Lu Weiwei quickly responded: "Junior Brother Gu, have you found any traces of Liu Yuan?"
"This..." Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, turned to look at the reception area, and smiled awkwardly: "Here is a jewelry brand reception, the boss is a foreigner, you need an invitation card signed by the boss to enter .”
"Ah? Still want an invitation card?" Hearing Gu Chen's speech, Lu Weiwei glanced at Zhao He beside him.
Zhao He immediately said: "You ask Captain Gu to wait, I will communicate with their people."
"Okay." Lu Weiwei nodded silently, and then said to the phone: "Junior Brother Gu, Officer Zhao asked you to wait a moment, he is communicating with the security personnel."
"Okay, I'll wait." Gu Chen also knew that this kind of thing can't be rushed.
On the other side, in the monitoring room, after Zhao He communicated with two security personnel, the security personnel contacted their superiors, and after getting confirmation, they nodded to Zhao He.
"Finished?" Zhao He asked.
A chubby security guard nodded and said: "It's done, the manager said he was calling the two security guards and told them not to embarrass Captain Gu."
Hearing what the security guard said, Lu Weiwei hurriedly said to the phone: "Junior Brother Gu, wait a little longer, their manager is already contacting the two security guards, and ask them not to embarrass you."
"clear."
As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, the cell phone of the sturdy security guard rang.
The sturdy security guard didn't say anything, and directly swiped the answer button.
"Yes, yes, that's right." Glancing at Gu Chen in front of him, the sturdy security guard was a little surprised: "Yes, there is a handsome guy in front of me, yes, he is standing opposite me, what? Let him in?"
Looking up at Gu Chen again, the sturdy security guard nodded and said: "Understood, I know, um."
After hanging up the phone, the sturdy security guard took the initiative to walk up to Gu Chen and asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Gu?"
"That's right, your leader must have told you already, right?" Gu Chen asked.
The sturdy security guard nodded and said, "Yes, you can go in now."
"Thank you." Gu Chen thanked him and walked directly into the reception area of the reception.
At this moment, another tall and thin security guard looked at Gu Chen's back, and then walked up to the sturdy security guard and asked, "Hey, what's the matter with you? Didn't Mr. George say that? And it's Qian Dingwan." I told you that you must see your own autographed invitation post before you can put it in, why did you..."
"Damn, can this be my fault?" Feeling that the tall and thin security guard didn't understand the situation, the sturdy security guard explained directly: "He is a policeman and is investigating the case. The leader asked us to cooperate and don't talk nonsense, so as not to startle the snake or something."
Glancing at Gu Chen's back, the sturdy security guard also let out a long sigh: "Oh, I don't know anyway, anyway, the leader told us not to worry about it, just do our own job well."
"Yeah." Hearing the words of the sturdy security guard, the tall and thin security guard didn't ask any more questions.
……
……
On the other side, Gu Chen had already walked into the venue.
The venue area is made of antique decoration materials, and red gauze curtains need to be swept in and out.
The various decorations inside are also dazzling.
And in the center of the reception venue, there is a temporary stage with many ribbons left on it.
Gu Chen looked around, there were even trophies and certificates on the drinking tables of several men.
No need to guess, the awards ceremony may have just been held here, and several outstanding dealers may have taken home trophies and bonuses.
At this time, everyone seemed to be talking to each other.
There are some white faces among them.
And Gu Chen also made a general observation. Almost everyone here is in suits and leather shoes, and foreigners account for [-]%.
Otherwise, how to say international style?
However, Gu Chen felt that these foreign men and women with good figures and good looks were more like the boss, George, who temporarily hired models and actors to act as his dealers in order to give his brand a face.
This makes people look at it, and the grade suddenly rises.
In many luxury industries, the bosses of many brands invite models to shoot, and they prefer to invite some foreign faces.
It is clearly a Chinese brand, but there is not a single Chinese face on the promotional posters, but all foreign faces.
In this way, perhaps at the beginning, foreign models wearing clothes of Chinese brands would look like big brands and international models.
Especially in the luxury goods industry, most of the jewelry advertisements are foreign faces, some Asian faces, which are also the endorsements of domestic first-line stars.
It can be seen that many bosses have put in a lot of effort to improve the level of luxury goods.
At least it's okay to deceive some dealers who have never seen the world, telling them that anyone who cooperates with the H brand can make money.
Cutting leeks has always started with envy and admiration...
Although the reception reception was high-end, Gu Chen's heart was not here, but he was looking for Liu Yuan's trace.
But what is very troublesome is that everyone at the reception is in suits and leather shoes, making people dazzled.
It seems that it is not easy to find Liu Yuan among the many men in suits.
Especially in crowded places, many people are blocked.
If Gu Chen blatantly went looking for them one by one, it would make the meeting place embarrassing.
What Gu Chen has to do now is to find Liu Yuan quietly and control him so as not to interfere with the event.
But when Gu Chen was wondering where to start looking, an old foreign man with a loose Chinese accent suddenly exclaimed.
This cry made everyone on the scene startled, and everyone immediately turned their eyes to the source of the sound, wanting to see what happened just now?
Gu Chen also took this opportunity to get closer and stood in the crowd.
"What's the matter with you, Mr. George?" a man in a black suit asked.
George looked shocked, but didn't know what to say for a moment.
This made many people on the scene anxious.
A fat man asked curiously, "Mr. George, are you okay?"
"That's not right." With a loose Chinese accent, the old man named George shook his head in doubt: "There are obviously 100 pearls, but why is there one missing?"
"Old man, oh no, George... sir, you say you lost a pearl?"
"That's right." George frowned, and he also looked puzzled. You all know that just now I showed you the pearl necklace I put in a precious antique box, but now I will pass on the necklace for you to appreciate again. When I got it back, there were only 99 pearls on it, but there were obviously 100 pearls. "
"100 pearls?"
"100 pearls become 99?"
"Why is there one missing? Will it fall somewhere?"
"Are you stupid? These pearls are strung up, how could they fall?"
"that's true."
After a brief discussion among many people, a fat middle-aged man asked George: "Mr. George, could it be that there were originally 99 pearls in the pearl necklace you showed us?"
"No, I made it according to 100 pearls, and this kind of pearl is extremely rare and very valuable."
"This was made under my supervision, how could there be 99 pieces?"
Glancing at a tall and thin white man beside him, George said again: "Chandler, do you think so?"
"That's right, this string of precious pearl necklaces is indeed an integer of 100, and it is impossible for there to be 99."
"Yes." Just as Chandler finished speaking, another man wearing glasses also voluntarily admitted: "When I was appreciating just now, because I was curious, I also counted the number of pearls privately. It is indeed 100."
"I can also be sure." Another bald man said: "I also counted, and it is indeed 100."
"Haha." Hearing these words, a fat man couldn't help laughing dryly.
Seeing this, George hurriedly asked, "Mr. Gao, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing that you may have counted wrongly, right? Do you want to stop counting?"
"Count?" George frowned.
The dealer surnamed Gao asked such a question, but it made him lose his confidence.
But just now George had already counted three times, and only then did he make a surprised movement.
Afraid of George's old eyesight, Mr. Gao, the fat man, took the initiative to step forward and said with a smile: "Don't bother Mr. George, this time I will count for you."
"Okay." Upon hearing this, George handed over a pair of white gloves beside him to Mr. Gao.
The fat man, Mr. Gao, also immediately started counting pearls.
Others gradually gathered around...
Every time Mr. Gao moved away, everyone also did the mental calculations.
A dial.
Do the math.
Soon, the numbers came out.
"99 pieces?" The chubby Mr. Gao was stunned, and after looking up at the crowd, he also said in a daze, "How about... counting again?"
"Let's count again." The man with glasses said.
This time, Mr. Gao was very focused, and his counting speed was much faster than before.
But after one round, Mr. Gao was stunned again.
He didn't speak, he held back the numbers and counted again.
"Damn, what's going on?" After counting for the third time, Mr. Gao said in surprise, "It's still 99. Could it be that the other one has disappeared?"
"what?"
"Flying away?"
"Is it really 99?"
"Aren't there 100 before that?"
"That's right, the pearls are connected in series, it's impossible to remove one by itself."
……
For a while, there were different opinions at the reception.
Everyone was dazed by this wave of sudden events.
George had indeed circulated this string of pearls to everyone at the venue, and at that time, because of the pearls inside, George was blown away.
Everyone is an expert in the jewelry industry, so they naturally know how fine the pearl is.
So everyone asked to pass on the treasures one after another, and Mr. George agreed when he was happy.
But this pass doesn't matter, something happened.
The original 100 pearl necklace instantly became 99.
Mr. George was so frightened that he was extremely anxious.
But when everyone was confused and didn't know what to do, a voice came from behind the crowd.
"Mr. George, you just said that you packed this string of pearls in an ancient box, right?"
When everyone heard the words, they all looked behind them.
Gu Chen was standing there right now, but Liu Yuan couldn't find him, but he had been listening to these people for a long time.
But because George lost a pearl, it aroused Gu Chen's curiosity.
In Gu Chen's perception, this is probably the masterpiece of the thief Liu who sneaked into the reception.
But if you want to know the reason, you must know the process.
Gu Chen just came here, so Gu Chen didn't know anything about what happened here before, so he asked curiously.
Looking at Gu Chen, Qiao Zhi couldn't remember which dealer's son Gu Chen was.
After all, many distributors brought their families to attend the reception.
So George nodded silently, and responded to Gu Chen: "That's right, this string of pearls is very precious. I have always used this same expensive European ancient box to pack it."
"And this ancient box, I haven't told you about it before. This European ancient box is a masterpiece of the famous craftsman Jones."
"And before his death, he only completed four such caskets in total, all of which were dedicated to the king and queen of the time."
Looking up at everyone, George was also quite emotional: "Fortunately, I got one of them through many ways."
"That's why I cherish it very much, so I put the pearl necklace in this ancient box, and there are a total of 100 pearls on the pearl necklace, which also echoes the 100 bird reliefs on the ancient box."
"But I don't know what's going on? I just lent it to you for admiration. After I got it back, there was only a brief award ceremony. When I got it back and counted it, I found that there were only 99 pearls in this string."
"I think this ancient box seems to be opened with a key?" Although Gu Chen stood far away, using his master-level observation skills, he was able to clearly see that the European ancient box was locked with a key.
George nodded silently: "Yes, it was opened with a key."
"The key should still be with you, right?" Gu Chen asked.
"Yes." George continued.
Gu Chen snapped his fingers: "Isn't that right? Since you keep the key, how can anyone else open it? So the pearl necklace should always stay in the box, unless..."
After the words fell, Gu Chen suddenly thought for a few seconds.
"Except...unless what?" Fat Mr. Gao asked a little impatiently.
Gu Chen raised his head and stared at George: "Unless Mr. George's key was stolen."
"what?"
Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, everyone immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.
When George heard this, he panicked. He quickly touched his chest, and immediately took out a golden key.
"Isn't this here?" George raised the golden key high.
Gu Chen asked: "Then did you use this key to open it just now?"
"Yes, but..."
George was halfway through speaking, but suddenly fell silent.
"But...but what? Mr. George." A curious tall, thin, bespectacled man asked.
George looked up, but his brows were tightly furrowed: "But it's strange, I always hang the golden key to lock the ancient box around my neck."
"But just now, I opened the European ancient box and took out the string of pearls for everyone to appreciate, because it is a treasure in itself, and everyone is interested in seeing it, so I agreed, but I found a question."
"What's the question?" Gu Chen asked directly.
"The first time I took out the golden key to open the ancient box, everything was normal, but the second time I opened it, just now, I found that the golden lock on the European ancient box was actually broken, as if someone wanted to force it open. "
After a pause, seeing everyone looking at each other in dismay, George said again: "I think my golden key is not working, so I can only pick the golden lock, but fortunately the pearl necklace is still in the box, so I breathe a sigh of relief .”
Looking up at Gu Chen, George continued: "But you may not know, I am a very suspicious person, so I counted the pearls on the pearl necklace again, but the strange thing is, there are only 99 pearls this time! I counted It’s been like this several times.”
"Could it be stolen?" Everyone was surprised.
100 pearls suddenly turned into 99, you dare not play tricks like this?
Ordinary props are fine, but these are rare pearls that are worth a lot of money, and if one is missing, it will be priceless.
Hearing George's speech, Gu Chen crossed his arms and thought for a moment before saying, "Just now you said that the golden lock can't be opened, so it means that someone might want to take advantage of the gap between your awards, Managed to open this old European box."
"And at the same time broke the very valuable golden lock, but..."
Having said this, Gu Chen hesitated for a moment.
"But what?" Several dealers asked Gu Chen in unison.
"But why, the person who stole the rare pearls, he only took one? And he locked it again, don't you think it's strange?"
"That's right, it's so strange." The chubby Mr. Gao was stunned, and he couldn't help but say, "If someone wants to steal the pearls, why didn't they take all the pearls after opening the ancient box, and only stole a few pearls?" one?"
Shaking his head, Mr. Gao also couldn't understand: "In my opinion, this operation coefficient is not high, but it is extremely insulting."
"Yes, who is so arrogant? To steal only one pearl?"
"If you want me to say, this is the time to take one pearl from the pearl necklace, it is better to take the whole pearl necklace."
"Well, what's the matter with stealing one? Is this intentionally insulting Mr. George? Is it intentionally insulting the H jewelry brand?"
……
It was also under the question of Gu Chen's soul that everyone immediately discussed heatedly.
The scene of the reception reception suddenly became a mess.
"It's unreasonable." George imitated the Chinese way of getting angry, using a loose Chinese accent, and punched the table.
"It must be a competitor's trick. It must be. This is nothing more than trying to humiliate me, George."
"Seeing me, George, show off in the exhibition, they are very upset. They deliberately insulted my H jewelry brand by stealing a rare pearl from me. It is simply unforgivable."
George was really angry at this moment. He stared at the two security guards at the door and shouted loudly, "Security! Where is the security?"
"coming."
The two security guards who let Gu Chen in just now rushed over when they heard George's call.
George roared angrily: "Someone stole a precious pearl from me at my venue. As the organizer and security force, you have an inescapable responsibility. You must compensate me for all my losses. You must compensate. "
"No." The sturdy security guard also heard some general information outside just now, but George had to ask his unit to compensate for the loss in a blink of an eye.
The sturdy security guard was a little confused, and didn't know what to do for a while.
George didn't care so much, he grabbed the collar of the sturdy security guard, and said angrily: "Is this how you Chinese do security? Damn it, I came to Lanshan City to participate in this exhibition with such precious jewelry Activities, but what did you bring me? Damn."
"No." Hearing George's attitude, the sturdy security guard immediately wanted to take off his collar.
But George's hands were tightly grasped, and the sturdy security guard couldn't break free for a while.
But when he heard that the problem had been raised to the level of what happened in China, Biao Zhuang was also a little dissatisfied and said: "Can we talk slowly if we have something to say? Don't shout here and affect other exhibitors."
"I don't care." George, who was so angry at the moment, had already lost his gentleman's coat, and roared, "I have lost a precious pearl now, what do you think should I do?"
"What should I do?" The sturdy security guard looked around and said helplessly, "How do I know what to do? Was it lost at the reception?"
"Where else is there?" George said with an indignant expression.
At this moment, Gu Chen stepped forward, pushed aside George's grasping hands of the sturdy security guard, and said indifferently: "Mr. Where is the flaw?"
"Even if you yell here, you can't solve the fundamental problem. If so, it's better to solve the problem calmly."
When Gu Chen said this, a white assistant beside George immediately stepped forward to persuade him, "That's right, Mr. George, the most important thing for us now is to find the lost pearl."
"Damn it." George straightened his shirt, and said angrily, "Back then, your organizers invited me to participate in the exhibition anyway."
"Okay, I'm here, and I've booked the most expensive venue and the largest area in the venue, but what has this brought me?"
Pointing at the two security guards in front of him, George also looked angry: "Just arrange two security guards outside the reception, are you looking down on me, George?"
George, who felt humiliated, was already furious at this moment.
It seems that it is difficult to suppress his anger by persuasion.
Gu Chen smiled lightly, and asked him directly: "I said, Mr. George, why are you always obsessed with this pearl? Can you show me your box?"
"Why do you want that?" George, who felt a little distrustful of the Chinese, immediately looked at Gu Chen vigilantly.
Gu Chen said indifferently: "I want to check the problem of the box, didn't you say so? It seems that you can't open the lock with your golden key. You are right, right?"
"No... that's right, so what?" George was puzzled.
Gu Chen didn't talk nonsense with him, and bypassed George directly, and came to the wooden table where the ancient European box was placed, and carefully picked up the ancient box, and gently opened the ancient box.
"Be careful, don't break this thing." Seeing Gu Chen picking up the ancient box and admiring the pearls, George quickly reached out to grab it.
Gu Chen stretched out his hand to block it, and then said again: "Please don't be so excited? Haven't you thought about why the other party only stole one pearl from you?"
When asked by Gu Chen, George was at a loss for words and didn't know how to answer for a while.
At this time, Gu Chen said again: "Besides, you are the owner of a well-known international jewelry brand. Can you explain to me how you took off one of these strings of pearls intact?"
"I……"
Asked again by Gu Chen, George's face turned red immediately.
But these problems have always troubled George, and George didn't know what kind of ghost operation this was, it was murderous and extremely insulting.
Seeing that George was speechless, Gu Chen simply took out his mobile phone and called Yuan Shasha directly.
At this moment, Yuan Shasha, who had been waiting for news in the monitoring room, was squatting on the console for a while.
Yuan Shasha was startled by a phone call.
"It's Senior Brother Gu's call." Yuan Shasha said in surprise after seeing it.
"Hurry up and ask him how he is doing now?" Lu Weiwei said.
"Yeah." Yuan Shasha didn't care too much at the moment.
After all, what is Gu Chen doing calling himself instead of calling Lu Weiwei?
Thinking of this, Yuan Shasha connected the call directly.
"Hello, Senior Brother Gu."
"Xiao Yuan, come over right now. It's in the D2 exhibition area, at the reception reception of the H jewelry brand." Gu Chen said.
