As long as she finds any sign of a crime, she will probably draw a gun to control the audience on the spot, and then a phone call will be made, and a car of special affairs personnel will rush in, and the next step is to seal off the scene and investigate one by one.
But the problem is, in a high-end venue, it is not normal to have no gray and black things!
↑In the upper-class society, it is normal for people to play tricks. It is their greatest moral bottom line not to touch black things, but how can they not touch things in gray areas.
This can be said to be a well-known consensus. Even if you grab a random passer-by from the street and ask him what he thinks of you, you will probably get a gray and black evaluation.
However, such a common sense in the society, when discovered by this old lady, will definitely lead to a series of big troubles. First of all, 100% of the perpetrators will be arrested and imprisoned, and most of those who are invited will also be jointly and severally liable. If you are not sure, you have to be publicized on TV or something...
This is hard.
It is something that everyone knows and is playing, but you can't accept it, and you have to report it to the Metropolitan Police Department... Oh no, she is the police herself.
So after going back and forth, Wei Xuxu became a strange "net point" in the Wu class.
Obviously, by virtue of her own strength and status, she has already entered the upper class, but she has never enjoyed any upper class treatment, nor has she been invited to those high-end venues.
This leads to an additional problem.
That is to say, Wei Xuxu didn't have the temperament and attitude she should have when participating in this kind of occasion.
To put it bluntly, she is like a bandit who broke into a noble reception, carefree, unrestrained, doing whatever she wants, without any scruples about the thoughts of noble gentlemen.
For example, now.
"Oh, this dessert is delicious." Wei Xuxu was a little surprised: "It's much better than the desserts sold in the bakery in front of my house."
After the couple finished eating the small desserts, Wei Xuxu raised her hand to greet the waiter who was waiting at the door: "Waiter, bring me three more dishes like this! One more juice!"
A crowd of people around: "...?"
The place where Wei Xuxu and Lena are now is the auction venue. It is said to be the auction venue, but the actual location is actually the basement of this two-story house. The basement can be reached by going down the stairs.
The owner of the house carefully designed the basement into a flat floor. The specific decoration is not as grand as the auction Wei Xuxu watched on TV, but a bar-like decoration.
In the very center of the flat floor is a circular auction table, and around the auction table are randomly placed tables and chairs of different styles, including Chinese style, Japanese style, European style, and even African tribal style.
The lighting in the entire auction venue was relatively dim, except for a spotlight above the auction platform. When the spotlight was turned on and shone on the auction platform, it felt as grand as the protagonist of a stage play.
Wei Xuxu and Lena chose a set of Chinese-style tables and chairs to sit down. When they sat down, there were already a lot of guests present. Most of the tables and chairs in the auction were full, and there were roughly a dozen people.
For a high-end auction of this level, snacks and drinks will naturally be provided. This auction also took a little care to give guests sitting on tables and chairs of different styles the same style of snacks and drinks.
Sitting on Chinese tables and chairs, Wei Xuxu and Lena naturally ate Chinese dim sum.
I have to say that this dim sum is indeed made with something special, and the taste is far superior to the dim sum that Wei Xuxu has eaten before. It can be seen that it is made by Gao Chef, and Wei Xuxu's eyes lit up after taking a sip.
"......"
Lena clutched her forehead, sighed with some headaches, and then said to Wei Xuxu in a low voice: "Miss Wei, I know you like to eat dim sum here, but you have to pay attention to your image, we are here to investigate information Yes, not for eating!"
Wei Xuxu was a little embarrassed and said: "I know, but I didn't eat much..."
"It's not a question of whether you eat or not, it's about elegance! On this occasion, you must maintain an elegant demeanor, do you understand?"
Reina's face was full of hatred for iron and steel:
"Look at you, you obviously have such a handsome appearance and perfect figure, but your manners and manners are not ladylike at all. This is simply a kind of blasphemy to yourself!... We will talk about these things later , the most important thing now is that on this occasion, you can't act so... so greedy, understand? This will only make other people present feel that we are ignorant and incompetent!"
Wei Xuxu opened her mouth slightly: "But..."
"No but!" Reina interrupted Wei Xuxu's words for the first time: "It's fine in normal times, but on this occasion, Miss Wei, you must listen to me!"
"All right......"
It was the first time I saw Leina with such a strong attitude, Wei Xuxu's aura was subconsciously overwhelmed by her.
Looking from the side, the two of them now look like a noble lady teaching a poor little maid, but there is also a subtle feeling of flirting between close CPs.
Anyway it's weird.
In fact, Wei Xuxu felt that there was nothing wrong with what Reina said. She was indeed not suitable for this kind of occasion, and it would be more appropriate to listen to the words of experienced people.
Seeing Wei Xuxu's expression as if she had made a mistake, Leina couldn't help laughing, but she quickly adjusted her expression back, still maintaining an elegant and noble demeanor, but opened her mouth to relieve Wei Xuxu's embarrassment .
"Miss Wei, you have to know that the owner of this auction certainly has the information we need hidden, but the guests who came to the auction may not have information of equal value."
"Well, it makes sense." Wei Xuxu thought for a while and nodded: "Most of the people who can come to this auction are related to the owner of the auction. Start with these guests."
"That's right, that's it, so these people are also the ones we need to focus on." Lena said softly: "Because of this, we should show an extraordinary demeanor in front of them so as to gain their trust and be able to Better to investigate."
Wei Xuxu had no choice but to nod and admit: "Okay, you are right, I will follow your instructions from now on."
Lena, who successfully persuaded Wei Xuxu, nodded very satisfied.
She seems to have found a way to make Wei Xuxu obedient.
After continuing to wait on the seat for a few minutes, Wei Xuxu heard the sound of the stairway door entering the basement being closed, and at the same time walked towards the auction platform in the middle accompanied by a burst of gentle footsteps.
Wei Xuxu and Leina immediately focused on looking at the auction stage, and saw a short old man walking slowly towards the auction stage with a cane in his hand.
As the old man entered the auction stage and stood firm, the spotlight above his head shone in vain, covering both the old man and the auction stage, creating a feeling of the main character appearing in a daze.
With the help of the bright spotlight, Wei Xuxu took a few careful glances at the old man, and found that the old man's brows and eyes were somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while, so he gave up thinking about it and waited quietly for the auction to start .
After the old man stood up on the auction stage, the guests around him stopped their discussion and turned their attention to the old man under the spotlight, and the entire auction hall became quiet.
The old man first smiled at the guests, and then said: "Thank you all for coming, you all came so early today, it must be because of some recent rumors that made you curious, so you can't wait to come here I'm here to find out."
"Before the opening, I will give you a reassurance first." The old man said with a smile: "To live up to everyone's expectations, I did get some of the things in the rumors."
After the old man said these words, the surrounding breath suddenly became heavier, and the eyes of many guests were about to light up.
Wei Xuxu and Leina looked at each other, and they both saw the doubt in each other's eyes.
Especially Wei Xuxu, before coming to this auction, Matsubara Naoki only told her that there might be information here, but he didn't say what it was.
It now appears that this so-called 'intelligence' may not be that simple.
After successfully arousing everyone's desire, the old man chuckled.
"According to our usual rules, there is no need to talk too much nonsense, and the highest price wins."
He didn't continue to say nonsense, and after simply reading a few opening remarks, the old man announced the official start of the auction.
I have to say that it is worthy of being an auction that only people can participate in. Every piece of auction that the old man puts out is a very precious spiritual item, which belongs to the kind of treasure that is priced but not marketed to the outside world.
Being able to obtain so many precious psychic items, it can be seen that this old man is really capable.
These auctions caused a bidding war among other customers, and the price of a single auction could easily reach 4000 to [-] million yen.
It is conservatively estimated that in today's auction alone, the amount in circulation is as high as nearly 5 million yen!
Although she had thought about it many times, Wei Xuxu still couldn't help sighing again, it is worthy of everyone ↑ auction.
However, these auctions are not attractive to Wei Xuxu or to Lei Na.
Needless to say, Lena, although these psychic items are indeed rare and precious in the eyes of ordinary people, they are really nothing special in her eyes. At most, it is because most of these items are produced in Japan, so she I'm just curious.
Wei Xuxu had no idea at all.
Her combat system predestined her not to play with psychic items, even if the real artifact like Bachi Gouqiongyu was being auctioned, she would not have any thoughts.
Putting a miniature nuclear bomb in this auction may not attract Wei Xuxu's attention, but forget about the others.
The two of them just waited patiently for the auction to proceed without asking the price, just watching.
Their silent performance did not attract too much attention from the old man.
Eighty percent of the people who came here to participate in the auction today came for that kind of thing, and quite a few people were holding back their energy, waiting for the final stud.
Then, more than an hour passed, and the auction was finally coming to an end.
In the mysterious expression of the old man, the grand finale of tonight's auction finally appeared.
"Next is the highlight of tonight's auction."
The old man still kept a smile on his face, but it could be seen that the old man was also a little excited at the moment.
He reached into the pocket of his clothes and took out a rose-red irregular crystal, pinched it with his thumb and index finger, and displayed it in front of everyone.
Under the light of the spotlight, the crystals in the old man's hand reflected a rosy color that made people ecstatic. Even a fierce girl like Wei Xuxu was amazed at its beautiful color.
Wei Xuxu couldn't help but said: "Leina, can you recognize what it is, it's pretty...Leina?"
meet lena
After not answering for a long time, Wei Xuxu turned her head suspiciously, just in time to see Leina's eyes at the moment.
Those emerald green eyes, which had always been elegant and noble, were filled with hatred, hatred, and anger at this moment.
Lena was angry.
Chapter 430 The Seventh Stone of Immortal Essence
Wei Xuxu, who noticed that Leina's mood was not right, quickly grabbed her arm, fearing that this noble lady would suddenly do something.
The expression on Reina's face now showed that she might flip the table on the spot.
This is the first time Wei Xuxu sees Lena showing such emotions.
Although this noble lady usually has a lot of emotions, and she also has a small temper when she is teased, she has never been so angry, as angry as if she wished to swallow a person alive.
If it is substituted into herself, Wei Xuxu thinks that it is probably Xiaozhe or Shimizu Saki, or after a companion in the sixth search class is killed, she may explode.
Undoubtedly the level of blood feud.
Although Wei Xuxu didn't know what happened, it didn't stop her from guessing that the problem should be the rose-red crystal that the old man took out.
Maintaining the posture of controlling Leina, Wei Xuxu carefully looked at the rose-red crystal, but unfortunately she didn't see anything.
The ability to identify psychic items is like looking at antiques. The more relevant historical knowledge and the deeper the understanding of various psychic materials, the better the identification ability will be.
This has always been Wei Xuxu's biggest shortcoming. There is nothing she can do. She is a psychic who has become a monk halfway through. Most of her combat power is obtained through the system. The ability to use items is not much different from that of ordinary people.
After really looking at it very hard, but didn't see the problem at all, Wei Xuxu turned to Lena again to dissuade:
"Rena, calm down, now is not the time to get angry, it's already come to this point!"
"Hiss-hoo..."
Under Wei Xuxu's persuasion, Leina took several deep breaths, and her mood eased a little. Finally, the state of wanting to jump out and hit someone at any time was gone.
But Wei Xuxu could see that the anger burning in Leina's heart hadn't weakened at all.
"Miss Wei, you are right. Since we have come to this auction venue, the information we want is close at hand. It is not good to be unable to control our emotions at such a time and fall short."
Resuming her graceful posture, Leina nodded towards Wei Xuxu, indicating that she was fine.
Only then did Wei Xuxu let go of Leina's hand, looked at the rose-red crystal in the old man's hand, and then looked at Lena again.
Lena could naturally see the undisguised thirst for knowledge on Wei Xuxu's face, and sighed lightly: "Forget it, the crystallization has a lot to do with our mission, if we keep hiding it from you, Subsequent actions are bound to cause great trouble and conflict."
"However, it's not the time yet. After the auction is over and we get the crystal, I will inform you of the specific situation."
Wei Xuxu nodded without saying anything.
She thought so too.
To cause such a drastic emotional change in this always elegant, noble and calm young lady, that rose-red crystal must hide a huge secret, and it may even be related to the deep secrets of the Campbell family.
If this kind of thing has nothing to do with this mission, it's fine. Although Wei Xuxu likes to listen to gossip, she is not the kind of person who likes to spy on other people's privacy, so there is no need to keep asking.
But now, Lena's performance just now is just a disguised form that proves that the crystal has a great connection with this mission, and it may be some kind of derivative of the secret treasure of the Campbell family.
If it's related to the task, then you have to figure out all kinds of reasons, otherwise you don't even know what you're looking for, so why not investigate the case.
But what surprised Wei Xuxu was that Leina would say "get that crystal" without hesitation.
Although Leina was rich, she was not stupid. Obviously, she did not intend to spend a large amount of real money to buy that crystal, but was going to snatch it directly.
'Snatching', this practice completely violates the morality and etiquette that a nobleman should abide by. For a young lady like Lena who strictly abides by the noble style, it is a completely unimaginable way.
But she said it so plainly, as if she was just talking about a trivial matter...
Wei Xuxu had every reason to believe that the crystal should have been part of the Campbell family property.
The detailed reason can only be learned from Leina after the auction is over.
During the conversation between Wei Xuxu and Leina, the old man also ended the process of showing the crystallization to the guests.
The old man pinched the rose-red crystal on his hand with his thumb and index finger, his tone was passionate and his expression was uplifting.
"I believe that friends who know the goods have already seen it. This is the strange thing that has been widely rumored recently, the Stone of Immortal Essence!"
