old fire thieves

Chapter 57 Seven Acts

"What is that sound?"

The conversation in the restaurant suddenly became quieter, Zhu Shuangjiang looked at the ceiling and said doubtfully.

"do not worry."

Qin Kewei's smile was slightly stiff, but he didn't panic.

He glanced at the door of the restaurant, and at this moment, a plainclothes police officer in a black suit walked through the crowd and came to Qin Kewei's side.

Qin Kewei recognized that this was Chen Chuchuan's subordinate, who seemed to be Xu Changjian.

"The boss says everything is going according to plan."

Xu Changjian whispered a few words beside Qin Kewei.

"it is good."

Qin Kewei nodded, and looked at Zhu Shuangjiang again.

"Shuang Jiang, Uncle, I'm going to do some errands, you and your friends can enjoy themselves, and say hello to your father for me."

"Uh-huh."

Zhu Shuangjiang replied, and hugged Ai Lian's arm again.

"Let's go get something to eat, love, I'm starving."

"Well, okay."

Ai Lian glanced at Qin Kewei and Xu Changjian, and smiled approvingly at Zhu Shuangjiang.

"Wait a moment."

At this time, Xu Changjian suddenly stopped the two girls.

"Ma'am, have we met somewhere before?"

What he looked at was not Zhu Shuangjiang, but Ai Lian.

"Have it?"

A love question asked inadvertently.

"...I'm taking the liberty. I just think the voice sounds familiar. I'm sorry."

Xu Changjian said apologetically, and looked at Qin Kewei again.

"Mr. Qin, please follow me."

When the two walked out of the restaurant and went up the stairs, Qin Kewei suddenly smiled.

"Young man, it's a good thing to dare to strike up a conversation, but such an old-fashioned method is a bit outdated."

He thought Xu Changjian wanted to strike up a relationship before.

"No, I just..."

Xu Changjian frowned slightly, always feeling that something was wrong.

...

...

"Officer Chen, how are you doing?"

The door behind him was opened, and Qin Kewei, led by Xu Changjian, asked about the situation urgently.

"Just now we found traces of the strange thief JOKER on the second floor, but let him escape outside."

"Escaped, escaped to the outside?"

Qin Kewei, who didn't understand Chen Chuchuan's arrangement, opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"...Then he was driven away like this?"

He seemed to think it was a little unreal. The strange thief JOKER, who was suspected of being a promoted person, was exposed like this and was kicked out.

"No, he may continue to hide around the villa and continue to look for opportunities to sneak in and commit crimes. We have stepped up patrols around the villa."

Chen Chuchuan got up and said.

"We deduce that the next time he appears is likely to be the time when the Heart of Sea Blue will be displayed, so now we will take out the Heart of Sea Blue as bait to lure the snake out of the hole."

"......I understand."

Qin Kewei took out a handkerchief from his jacket pocket, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Don't worry, everything is under our control."

Chen Chuchuan said, let Xu Changjian and a few police officers stay in the monitoring room, while he and Qin Kewei went to the treasure room next door with two of his subordinates.

This room has been confirmed by Chen Chuchuan before. There are no windows, steel plates are reinforced in the walls, and the door is double-authenticated by fingerprint locks and keys. Under normal circumstances, it has the risk resistance capability of a bank vault.

Qin Kewei took out the key and pressed his finger again, only to hear an electronic sound, and the door opened.

Even though he had already seen it once, when Chen Chuchuan saw the scene in the treasure room again, he couldn't help but let out a little admiration.

There are several paintings of different artistic styles on the walls of the simply decorated room, revealing different thoughts. There are farmers praying at dusk, there are withered trees intertwined with black and gray, and there are simple and freehand shrimps.

The paintings are framed in elaborate frames and form the backdrop to the treasure room.

On the wall where no paintings are hung, there are three huge glass display cabinets. In the display cabinets are simple pottery, exquisite silver tableware, sharp long swords, and some small Sculpture works, one of the cabinets contains more paper books with a sense of age, neatly arranged.

In addition to the red sofa, there are some independent display cabinets in the house, and several dazzling gemstones can be seen placed in them.

"Is that the Heart of Sea Blue..."

When Chen Chuchuan heard behind him, the police officer who saw this scene for the first time exclaimed, and cast his eyes on the sapphire located in the middle of the treasure room.

The surface has been cut, and the complex polygonal blue sapphire refracts light, showing bright and dazzling colors.

The essence of sapphire is a corundum gemstone formed by mixing aluminum oxide with a little titanium and iron elements. In the old days, the intersection of the Zhuxia Federation and the Panxihai Commercial Community was a place where sapphires were rich, but it is a pity that it has now sunk into the shallow sea .

When Chen Chuchuan checked the information of this case, he also learned some basic knowledge about sapphire.

For example, the biggest feature of sapphire is that the color division is uneven. From different angles, it will show inconsistent colors. For example, sapphire can be roughly divided into two types: cornflower blue and royal blue. In addition, there is also a rare type of star sapphire that shows six stars due to different mineral structures.

The heart of sea blue this time belongs to cornflower blue, which is characterized by a little purple and indigo as a whole, and it emits bright blue no matter the light is bright or dark.

Sapphires of this color are more precious than royal blue sapphires, and the Heart of Aquamarine, weighing 473 carats, is one of the best.

He watched Qin Kewei come to the display cabinet, opened the bulletproof glass door of the display cabinet with the key and fingerprint lock, put on his gloves, and took out the heart of sea blue.

"Ok?"

Chen Chuchuan felt a little disobedient, but did not raise any objections.

Qin Kewei put the Heart of Sea Blue into the center of a box with velvet interior, and after confirming that it was correct, he closed the box and held it in his hand.

He seems to be at ease only when he puts things in his hands.

"I'll go ahead, and you two will follow behind."

Chen Chuchuan commanded, and the three surrounded Qin Kewei in the center and walked towards the first floor.

On the second floor, the following police officers were repairing the surveillance cameras. Chen Chuchuan checked the situation, thoughtful.

"This thief can use playing cards to create a lethality similar to a throwing knife. This can be seen when he used playing cards to cut off the telephone line before. However, the second floor was relatively dark before, and the position of the surveillance camera was not conspicuous. He also Is it possible to cut off the line with cards while running away, is the ability of the ascender so terrifying..."

With such precision and strength, Chen Chuchuan even felt that it would not be difficult for him to use cards to kill people.

Very dangerous crime.

To be honest, without the help of the mysterious woman from the Department of Abyssal Relics Affairs, Chen Chuchuan felt that they might have let the strange thief JOKER sneak into the third floor, and they might have stolen the gems and escaped.

As for now...

When they came to the first floor, Chen Chuchuan was highly focused, paying attention to the guests around him. Once he found a suspicious person, he would stop him without hesitation.

Qin Kewei came to the microphone on the side of the restaurant.

"Well, hello everyone, I am the organizer of this charity reception, the general manager of Jingshang Group, Qin Kewei..."

He started the speech on tonight's keynote.

According to the procedure, after Qin Kewei's speech, some representatives of the chamber of commerce will take the lead in donating money, and the display of Seablue Heart is an additional link, which will be carried out before the donation.

"Attention all units, once a suspicious guy appears, immediately suppress it, the other party may cause danger to personnel, and the use of non-lethal ammunition is allowed."

Chen Chuchuan stood beside Qin Kewei, wearing a communicator, and gave orders to other police officers.

The reason for using non-lethal ammunition is because of the requirements of the Abyssal Relics Affairs Department to catch the living, and the second is that there are many people on site to avoid harming innocent people.

He glanced sharply at the people who were listening to the speech, paused for a while on the girl in the blue evening dress standing at the front, and then looked at the others.

who will be...

Many answers flashed through Chen Chuchuan's mind.

The other party may be waiting for the appearance of Sea Blue Heart, um.

Qin Kewei's speech was over, and amidst the applause, he spoke.

"As we all know, at this banquet, a criminal claimed to steal the most dazzling gemstone at the banquet. Today, taking this opportunity, I took it out so that everyone can have a glimpse of the brilliance of this gemstone, and tell everyone, This brilliance will not be dimmed by the coveted eyes of criminals."

His eyes wandered, and finally stopped on Zhu Shuangjiang who was standing in the front.

"Shuang Jiang, I want you to open this box and take out the Heart of Sea Blue."

"what?"

Zhu Shuangjiang opened her eyes wide, and she felt that the eyes of the entire venue were on her, but what was even more exciting was that Qin Kewei asked herself to take out the invitation of Hailan Heart.

She came to the banquet this time just to see this sapphire.

But Ai Lian went to the bathroom for so long, she missed the show time, she was still thinking.

Zhu Shuangjiang stepped on the stage in high-heeled sandals, bowed to Qin Kewei, and under his gaze, opened the box next to him, exposing Hailanxin to the light.

An exclamation sounded from the crowd, and many people saw this legendary sapphire for the first time.

Of course, the combination of Bamboo Shuangjiang and Sea Blue Heart is also one of the reasons why it is amazing.

Zhu Shuangjiang's attention was also attracted by the Heart of Sea Blue, but after observing closely, she found that this sapphire was not as flawless as described, and there were still some shadows under the light.

At this moment, Chen Chuchuan didn't understand why Qin Kewei invited an unrelated girl to the stage, but he knew that now was the best time for the strange thief JOKER to steal.

Where are you, Phantom Thief JOKER, where are you?

Chen Chuchuan stretched out his hand to his waist and touched the handle of his gun.

At this moment, the voice of his subordinate Xu Changjian sounded in Chen Chuchuan's communicator headset.

"Boss, our colleague repairing the camera on the second floor found a man tied up in a room with an open door!"

"He is Qin Kewei."

"The real Qin Kewei!"

Hearing these words, Chen Chuchuan felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was terrified in his heart.

In his field of vision, everything turned into slow motion.

During this slow time due to the surge of adrenaline, Chen Chuchuan could only see "Qin Kewei" standing behind Zhushuang Jiang, taking advantage of everyone's attention focused on the heart of Hailan, and exclaiming , leisurely, took out a monocle from his pocket, and gently put it on his right eye.

Then the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
