old fire thieves

Chapter 55 Act Five. The Show Begins

Sunday.

The charity reception that attracted everyone's attention was held in the most luxurious villa building in a villa complex called Jiangbian Beppu in Jingnan District, Jingjiang City.

From five o'clock in the afternoon, various vehicles have driven into this community. Naturally, these vehicles will be strictly checked at the gate. This is a security check that will be implemented even if there are no other unexpected situations.

"Really, I have to use a body with a full resin structure, and it always feels like it's going to melt."

Ai Lian was wearing a black suspender satin gown dress, with a light lace black gauze shawl covering her bare shoulders, a bowknot on the side of her slim waist, and a long skirt, where you can see some slits near her calves, revealing inside black velvet stockings with high heels.

Around her neck was a black lace choker, and where gems should have hung, there was only the silver photo box pendant.

Loving's long hair was combed into a three-strand braid, fastened with a long ribbon tied with a bow, and on one side, on top of the tuft of white hair, there was a flower with cornflowers and blue hydrangeas as the main body. Hair accessories are used to cover up.

She was wearing a pair of pure black gauze gloves, at first glance she looked like a rich lady.

——Just ignore her slightly indecent sitting posture now.

"The clothes are too tight, well, it must be a problem with this body, it has nothing to do with how much I eat."

She sat in the back seat and watched the other vehicles outside.

The body with a full resin structure finally passed the metal detection safely. At this moment, Ai Lian is sitting in the car with Lao Huo and Fan Zhe, driving in this villa complex.

I have to say, this neighborhood is really too big.

The neighborhood I thought I was in love with was a well-proportioned and neatly arranged building.

But in this community, each villa is a spacious single-family house, separated from a large backyard garden, and even when the vehicle is at the door of one villa, no other villa can be seen.

After driving for more than 20 minutes in the community, they arrived at the scheduled location.

"I can get some information from those drivers by the way."

When Ai Lian and Lao Huo got off the car, Fan Zhe, who was rarely wearing a suit, said, and drove the rented car to the parking lot.

These drivers have special people to arrange meals, and they are not with the guests.

"Security is very strict."

Lao Huo said with emotion, he was wearing a well-made dark suit, his unruly hair had been properly combed, and paired with a pair of rimless glasses with gold thread, his whole person changed suddenly, from an uncle in the market to an instant A knowledgeable professor.

"There are uniformed policemen on the periphery of the community, and there are two police guards every 200 meters in the community. As for the scene of the reception..."

Ai Lian glanced at the resplendent mansion in front of him.

Although the villas I passed by before were considered extremely luxurious, this one can definitely be called the emperor among these villas.

The huge three-storey building is located on the bank of the river, with the dark blue mountains and the sparkling river water in the setting sun as the background, the lawn in the front yard is illuminated by lights, and a red carpet is spread from the entrance of the yard to the villa. It is an illusion that walking up is the star-like illusion that everyone is looking forward to.

While the men and women in formal attire were walking, each one had a head and a face, and they were often seen in newspapers and news.

Ai Lian gently took Lao Huo's hand and walked towards the guest registration desk at the door.

"Welcome to both of you, Professor Huo, Miss Ai."

The butler-like person in charge of the inspection carefully checked the invitation letters of the two people and saluted them.

This invitation letter was requested from the Department of Abyssal Relics Affairs above. Now Lao Huo is a visiting professor of history at Ningjiang University, and Ai Lian is Lao Huo's niece.

The two walked into the villa slowly, and went to the restaurant under the guidance of the waiter.

It has been arranged in a self-service catering style, directly connected to the backyard. Surrounded by elegant old-age classical music, guests of all colors gather together in twos and threes to chat in low voices.

"... Will it really come?"

"...I heard that this crime has been wanted for a long time..."

"...If it is succeeded this time, then Boss Qin will lose face..."

"...It is said that tonight there will be..."

I can vaguely catch a few words, most of which are about the notice letter and the strange thief JOKER who sent the notice letter.

After all, this matter has caused a lot of trouble, and everyone knows that among the guests who came to the reception today, I don't know how many of them came with the mentality of watching the excitement.

According to the procedure, at seven o'clock in the evening, Qin Kewei will show his Sea Blue Heart and start fundraising at the same time, and it is less than an hour before that time.

"Well, the police and security personnel in the villa put on black suits and put them in the four corners. There are many cameras in the corridor, but there are no..."

Ai Lian confirms the security arrangement.

Every position is exactly the same as in her impression.

If you want to ask why, because she has seen all these arrangements, and even proposed revisions in many places.

On Tuesday, Ai Lian received Qin Kewei's security layout and villa design from the police.

She modified it to include the police arrangement, and told the police she usually communicates with.

Therefore, it can be said that no one knows the security configuration of this villa better than Ai Lian, and only she knows where the loopholes in this configuration are.

Even Ai Lian's initial proposal to install cameras in every room and even the bathroom was made to make Qin Kewei refuse, so that the cameras would have blind spots.

After all, she and Lao Huo were exposed to the banquet and needed to get out of the body, so they couldn't let themselves be recorded by surveillance.

"Do you want a drink, please?"

A short-haired waiter in a black and white maid uniform came to the two of them steadily carrying a plate with several glasses of wine.

Puchi-

Ai Lian couldn't hold back, almost laughed out loud, and quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

Lao Huo twitched the corner of his mouth and took a glass of wine from the plate.

"There is no problem with the configuration of the second and third floors."

The waiter said something in a voice that only Ai Lian and Lao Huo could hear, then left and went to give the drinks to others.

This is Tian Hong, she is in charge of monitoring the situation in the field, if there is any accident, she can notify Ai Lian and Lao Huo in time.

"However, is it a maid outfit? Boss Qin's interest is really strange."

Ai Lian scoffed at this, even if she jumped into Jingjiang from here, she would never wear such clothes.

"Qin Kewei worked in the joint venture company between Zhuxia and Fanxihai in his early years. He stayed in Fanxihai for several years and was influenced by the culture there, so he likes this. Look, the decoration here is also in the style of Fanxihai."

Old Huo said in a deep voice, it is not surprising that their conversation was in the venue, and no one paid attention.

"Well, indeed."

Ai Lian turned his gaze back to the venue from the huge chandelier hanging from the top of the restaurant.

"?"

Why is she here.

Ai Lian saw that Zhu Shuangjiang was wearing a blue dress with suspenders. The double-layer spun-like translucent skirt covered the slim satin dress. Her slender legs were stepping on a pair of cornflowers. Blue high-heeled sandals, revealing beautiful ankles.

Her short flaxen hair is decorated with a lovely blue chrysanthemum, which adds a bit of innocence and liveliness to her elegant attire. A pair of light blue gemstone earrings hang on the earlobes of Zhushuangjiang. Glittering under the light.

Because at this reception, Qin Kewei wanted to show off his collection, the legendary sapphire heart of sea blue, so Ai Lian and Zhu Shuangjiang both chose matching dresses, with the heart of sea blue cornflower blue As the main color of clothing.

The moment Ai Lian saw Zhu Shuangjiang, the other party's curious baby-like gaze also turned around.

The two looked at each other for a while.

"...It seems that I can't pretend not to see..."

Ai Lian sighed, and saw Zhu Shuangjiang and the middle-aged man beside him, who should be his father, said a few words, and walked over lightly.

"Ai Lian, you are here too. I didn't know it. Your clothes are so beautiful, especially this shawl. It matches so well. Ah, hello uncle."

She greeted with a bright smile, and nodded slightly to Lao Huo beside her.

"I didn't expect you to be there."

I really didn't expect Ai Lian, but fortunately, her personality at school is the eldest lady of a rich family, and now she is the professor's niece, and her personality will not collapse.

"Well, my dad and Uncle Qin had some business contacts before, so they were invited."

Zhu Shuangjiang approached Ai Lian very familiarly.

"I didn't want to come, but I heard that the strange thief JOKER is coming to steal the heart of sea blue today, so I want to come and see, hehe, anyway, my family lives in this community, so it's not troublesome to come here."

"?"

Your family lives in this neighborhood?

Before falling in love, she knew that Zhu Shuangjiang's family was rich.

I didn't expect to be so rich.

And according to the survey, few of the residents in this community are permanent residents, and most of them come here to relax during holidays. In other words, Zhu Shuangjiang's family probably has more than that.

Damn rich man!

Ai Lian, who often has to worry about the reimbursement process and bought the clothes out of her own pocket for this action, is sincerely jealous of Zhu Shuangjiang.

"I don't know how the strange thief JOKER will come in. It is said that he can transform into other people, and he is a vicious ascender criminal."

Zhu Shuangjiang looked at the people around him curiously, as if he could see through who the Joker was pretending to be.

"Frost's Fall?"

At this time, a deep voice came over, making Ai Lian and Zhu Shuangjiang turn their heads.

"I haven't seen you for a while, and you have become beautiful again. Let me tell you, the most dazzling sapphire by the Jingjiang River tonight is not the Heart of Sea Blue, but you."

Qin Kewei, who was wearing a dark blue high-grade silk suit, came to the side of the two girls.

"Uncle Qin, you have won the prize. I am still looking forward to seeing the heart of sea blue tonight."

Zhu Shuangjiang greeted naturally.

"Hello."

Ai Lian also greeted, but secretly screamed in her heart that it was not good.

He and Lao Huo are not Qin Kewei's acquaintances. Although the invitation list is probably made by his secretary, it is difficult to guarantee that Qin Kewei will not specifically confirm it due to the special nature of this time.

Therefore, the best way for Ai Lian and Lao Huo is to become guests who have no sense of existence, so that it will be easier to investigate or escape afterwards.

But he didn't expect to face Qin Kewei directly now, and it seems that Qin Kewei came here to say hello after noticing Zhu Shuangjiang.

Failed.

Ai Lian thought about it, but still kept an elegant and soft smile on her face.

"Who is this?"

Qin Kewei looked Ai Lian up and down, there was no look of disrespect in his eyes, only curiosity.

"This is love, my classmate, this is her uncle."

Zhu Shuangjiang introduced.

"..."

Ai Lian twitched the corners of her mouth imperceptibly.

This kid, which pot can't be opened and which pot can be lifted, really.

When his name was called, Lao Huo, who was planning to eat something, turned around. When he saw Qin Kewei, his eyes widened slightly, but he quickly calmed down.

"I'm Huo Zheng from Ningjiang University, and I mainly study the history of the old times in the Panxihai area."

Lao Huo introduced himself solemnly.

Qin Kewei was slightly puzzled, but soon smiled again.

"I am also very interested in history, and I have lived in the Panxihai area for a while. I believe we will have a good chat in the future."

He shook hands with Lao Huo, and then said to Zhu Shuangjiang.

"I'm going to say hello to your father, where is he?"

Zhu Shuangjiang pointed to one side, where her father was talking and laughing happily with several bigwigs from the business circles in Southwest Province.

Qin Kewei suddenly smiled and was about to walk over.

At this moment, from upstairs, there was a muffled sound that even the lively conversation could not cover up.
