Chapter 15 Exhibition

"you know me?"

"Of course, Xuechen always mentions you to us."

"What did he, what did he say?" If Gu Xiaofei had grown a tail, it would be shaking wildly like a propeller by now.

"Well...he said a lot, so I always thought you were a very shrewd and tactful kid. I didn't know until I actually met..."

——He is a very honest and honest young man.

"Sister Shi, are you saying that I'm actually stupid?"

Shi Mantao chuckled: "Oh, I was wrong, you are obviously very tactful, and 'sister' is quite slick."

Gu Xiaofei is confused, Shi Mantao looks very young, far from being an "auntie", what's the name if it's not "sister"?

"Should I call you..." He thought for a while, "Miss Sister?"

Shi Mantao laughed even more happily, changed the subject, and asked a lot of interesting things about Gu Xiaofei's study.Gu Xiaofei didn't feel that his privacy was offended by her inquiry, and there was nothing shady about his past, besides, he was flattered that Sister Shi paid so much attention to him!

After lunch, the two went back to replace Xiao Xuechen.When he left, Gu Xiaofei was quite reserved in front of Shi Mantao, but when he came back——Xiao Xuechen was surprised to see that the two of them had grown to the point where they were chatting and laughing. I don’t know if Shi Mantao is particularly easy to get close to, or Gu Xiaofei is too good at currying favor with others .

In the afternoon, there were more tourists.It is important to observe Gu Xiaofei, but we cannot relax our vigilance against thieves.The closer it was to the closing time of the exhibition, the more uneasy Xiao Xuechen became.The crime notice Boss Qi received stated that "I will take your baby before the exhibition closes on April 4st."

It's like waiting for the second boot to hit the ground. The more you can't wait, the more anxious you will be.

Perhaps the thieves, having discovered that the guards at the exhibition hall were impeccable, retreated.Perhaps the crime warning letter was a low-level practical joke.But it is more likely that the "Ace of Hearts" prepared an unexpected trick, and left it at the last moment to make a move, determined to win.

At [-]:[-] p.m., the broadcast announcing the closing of the exhibition sounded on time, and the female voice with a correct accent reminded visitors that the exhibition was over, please leave in an orderly manner, and don’t forget your belongings.The security guards and policemen inside and outside the museum were relieved at the same time. Some people sat down on the ground on the spot, maintaining a high level of alert and nervousness all day, almost paralyzed from exhaustion.

The staff politely sent the lingering tourists out of the exhibition hall, and then counted the number of exhibits one by one to ensure that nothing was lost.Surrounded by his secretary and bodyguards, Boss Qi approached Xiao Xuechen and Gu Xiaofei leaning on a crutch with a dragon's head, and laughed out loud from afar.

"Oh, everything went well today, and the old man's lifelong wish was finally fulfilled. None of the exhibits were lost. It seems that the 'Ace of Hearts' escaped because of the wind—it was thanks to everyone's strength!"

"Boss Qi is polite." Xiao Xuechen said calmly.

"I've already prepared a table for a banquet, and I didn't serve them well. I hope the two young heroes don't feel disgusted." Boss Qi cupped his hands and turned to the secretary behind him, "Where's Director Liu? Why didn't you see her today? Tell her For a moment, I want to remove the exhibits as soon as possible. It is safer to put them in a safe than in public."

"Being obedient is worse than being respectful, we will not be polite." Xiao Xuechen nodded.

Suddenly someone tugged his sleeve from behind.He turned around, only to see Gu Xiaofei looked sad, hesitant to speak.

"What? You don't want to be treated to a treat?"

"No, Xiao Daxia, I just think... shall we just go straight away?" Gu Xiaofei scratched his head, "What should I do if the 'Ace of Hearts' comes to steal things when the exhibits are being withdrawn? He can't say 'before the exhibition closes', everyone Do you really think that he will do something before the exhibition closes? What if he deliberately let us relax our vigilance?"

"'Ace of Hearts' is very arrogant. He has been famous for ten years, so he would not be so arrogant." Xiao Xuechen pondered, "But it is not impossible. Boss Qi, let's save the banquet for tomorrow, waiting for your collection It’s all safely in storage, and it’s not too late to celebrate.”

When Boss Qi heard that two people asked him to postpone the banquet, he couldn't help being a little displeased. He has already booked a box at a five-star hotel in this city, so he can return it just by saying it?But if the two young and promising young heroes said so, there must be some truth.Thinking about it again, that "Ace of Hearts" is a treacherous thief, how could he do what he says, most likely he is deceitful.Sure enough, the two young heroes were thoughtful, and they almost fell for the "Ace of Hearts"!

"Well, according to the two of you, after all, good times can be postponed, but bad things are never late." He called the secretary and gave detailed instructions on how to return the exhibits to the vault.The secretary nodded as he listened.After finishing the order, Boss Qi still felt uneasy, so he asked the bodyguard to fetch a silver titanium alloy safe, and wanted to see the most precious "Sword Dance Picture" locked in the safe with his own eyes.There is a handcuff on the box, fastened to the bodyguard's wrist, and the key is in Boss Qi's hand.Unless the bodyguard's hand is cut off, no one can take the box away.

Two staff members came over, opened the display case of "Sword Dance Picture", put on gloves, and carefully rolled up the scroll.

A light page of letter paper floated out from under the scroll.No one knew why a piece of paper was pressed under the painting, even the staff were dumbfounded.

With quick eyes and hands, Gu Xiaofei caught the flying paper.He thought it was one of the parts of the painting scroll, and it just fell off, but when he picked it up, he found that it was just a piece of ordinary A4 printing paper with a line of words written crookedly on it.

Gu Xiaofei read in a low voice: "Receipt. I have received a piece of "Sword Dance Picture" today. This is a written proof, and each party will hold a copy as proof."

His voice was very soft, but it was particularly harsh in the quiet exhibition hall. After hearing this, Mr. Qi's face suddenly changed. He grabbed the letter from Gu Xiaofei's hand, read it carefully, and looked around at the people around him dumbfounded, as if he didn't dare to elaborate With his own eyes, he quickly lowered his head and read it again.

"This... this handwriting... this notice letter is exactly the same...!" He trembled all over, his hands convulsed, and the letter paper and the dragon head crutches were released from his hands at the same time, only to hear a crisp "bang", the crutches hit the marble floor tiles, and the letter paper fell apart. Slowly drifting down.

"Put down the painting!" Boss Qi shouted.

The staff was terrified by him, and quickly put down the scroll.Boss Qi rushed over, leaned over the painting, and brushed the old paper with his fingers, as if a blind man were using his fingers to identify the concave and convex Braille.

"Magnifying glass! Give me the magnifying glass!"

The secretary hurriedly took out the magnifying glass from the briefcase and handed it to Boss Qi.The old man snatched it away, and studied the scroll carefully with a magnifying glass.

The exhibition hall was terribly quiet for a moment, only Boss Qi's heavy breathing could be heard echoing in the silence.

After a while, Boss Qi suddenly shouted angrily and threw the magnifying glass on the ground: "This painting is fake! The real painting has been replaced!" Then he wailed, "How is this possible... how is it possible...! What the hell is it? when……"

Deep wrinkles appeared between Xiao Xuechen's brows: "We've been staying here all day today, let alone seeing someone cheating, and there is no one connected to the display cabinet."

He paused, and whispered to himself: "Unless..."

"Unless what?!"

"Unless the painting has been replaced before the exhibition begins."

Gu Xiaofei suddenly realized. The notice letter of "Ace of Hearts" only said to pick up the baby before the exhibition closed, but it did not limit that it must be done on the day of the exhibition.If he used this trick of stealing the show yesterday, it would be considered "before the exhibition closed".

Their thinking was restricted by the time of "April 4st" and the notice letter, and they only felt that the arrogance of "Ace of Hearts" was like the strange thief in the animation, and they would definitely appear on the stage in some shocking way. , stole the ancient painting grandiosely, and then fled handsomely.Unexpectedly, he played a word game and tricked everyone.

"Where is Director Liu! Where is Director Liu!" Boss Qi yelled hoarsely, holding the display cabinet with one hand and pressing his chest with the other, "How did she let the thief sneak into the museum! Tell her to come and see me! "

The staff looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one could tell the whereabouts of Director Liu.

"I saw her coming just now, why did she disappear in a blink of an eye..." a guide whispered.

Xiao Xuechen immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed Gu Xuyang's number.

"Where are you?"

"The team is closing, brother, what's the matter?"

"You still remember the curator Liu of the exhibition hall, he is gone now, so hurry up and find him."

"Huh? It's not that the exhibits are missing, but the curator is missing? What's the situation? 'Ace of Hearts' kidnapped the curator?"

"The exhibits are gone, and so is the curator. I can't explain it now. In short, the curator is very likely to be 'Ace of Hearts' in disguise. He probably hasn't escaped far. Find it quickly!"

Hearing this sentence, Boss Qi didn't catch his breath, rolled his eyes, and passed out directly!

He is old and suffers from many cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Now he is hit suddenly and has a sudden heart attack.The secretary and the bodyguards were all frightened, and the quiet exhibition hall immediately erupted. Some people shouted "Call 120", some shouted "Who will give first aid", and some shouted "No one wants to leave until the police come".The solemn pavilion suddenly became busier than the vegetable market.

Some of the bodyguards had learned first aid and were about to give Boss Qi heart compressions and artificial respiration, but Gu Xiaofei jumped over first, helped Boss Qi's limp body, sat cross-legged behind him, and supported Boss Qi with one hand. , put the other hand flat on the old man's back, and when the palm was pressed, a gust of heat rose from the place where the palm touched the clothes.

The people around couldn't help holding their breath.Even if he is not a member of the martial arts, he has heard and seen for a long time, and he can understand what Gu Xiaofei is doing when he sees this posture.

It is said that a master with strong internal strength can transfer his true energy to the patient and open up the heart veins for them. This is the legendary——
