please don't believe me

[Time telling system: The remaining exhibition time is 9 hours, 15 minutes and 10 seconds. 】

The night was dark, and even with the windows open, the only sound from the street was the sound of the wind blowing through the buildings and tree canopies.

The young man was sitting on the other side of the desk, opposite to Chris, accepting inquiries from the big boss.As he expected, Chris was suspicious of the next few people who had been exposed to the painting.The youth and the construction team spent almost a week in the Serrawi Theater, and they were on site from packaging to unpacking, so there were plenty of opportunities to make trouble.Even from a moral point of view, one should not doubt his close right and left hand, but as soon as Chris heard that the young man wanted to go home from get off work to catch up on sleep, he subconsciously called him over and sat down.

The secretary originally agreed with the little assistant to go back to sleep first, but when he saw that the big boss had such a reaction, he suddenly felt subtle.The secretary is also the first person who knows that Chris wants to keep young people to continue working. At this juncture, Chris's attitude towards the assistant is not trustworthy, which really does not meet the secretary's expectations.

Compared with the delicate psychology of Chris and the secretary, the state of the young man is much calmer.It's not because he thinks his plan is foolproof, but because there is not much time left, and the more procrastination, the better for him.

"...So, in the end, I gave the rag to a cleaning staff, and I didn't care who it was." The young man leaned back in his chair, losing his usual spirit, "I'm sorry I didn't find out in advance There is a difference in the picture frame, although I can find many reasons, but I am not going to make excuses, because this is indeed a huge mistake on my part."

While talking, the young man stood up and bowed to Chris.His tone couldn't be said to be insincere, but mixed with anger and a little grievance, such small emotions could not escape the observation of Chris and the secretary.Chris seemed to have never seen this, but the secretary was quite emotional: after working so hard for so long, but being suspected in turn, it is really hard for such a big child to restrain his aggrieved heart.

Chris raised his eyes to look at the young man opposite, his indifference was almost cold.In the question and answer just now, the assistant's answer cannot be called watertight, but human beings are creatures who ignore some things and forget some details, and the young man's performance is precisely within the range of this normal reaction.

Chris’s gaze was full of meaning, the young man stood in front of the fire, and was “defeated” after a while: “If you insist on looking at me suspiciously, I suggest you call the police and let the police officially intervene in the investigation. "

These words are based on advancing and retreating, and the words are as boring as they are, both in and out of the words mean "the body is not afraid of the shadow obliquely".Before Chris could reply, the young man said, "Excuse me, can I not leave until you find out the truth? If so, I think it is necessary for the police to intervene."

Chris narrowed his eyes: "You're threatening me."

"If you think so, let's just say so." The young man stood opposite Chris, pressing his hands on the edge of the table, "Then, can I go home, Mr. Chris?"

Chris looked at him, staring at all the young people's reactions: "I hope, I can see you go to work on time tomorrow."

"Of course." The young man didn't seem to hear the threat in the other party's tone, he just smiled lightly and left the desk, turned around and packed his clothes.He walked past the secretary, who smiled at him: "See you tomorrow."

The young man raised his eyebrows: "...I feel like you are mocking me for not working hard enough."

The secretary smiled and said, "You think too much."

The young man leaned closer to the other party's ear and whispered: "I hope you will have a 'breakthrough' this night."

The secretary smiled and said, "This is sarcasm."

The young man stopped responding, took two steps back, said goodbye to Chris, and then walked towards the door of the office.He opened the door halfway, turned back to Chris and said, "Sir, I think you should prepare some change tonight."

Chris looked at him suspiciously.

The young man smiled and said, "For example... a silver coin."

As soon as the voice fell, the young man went out and closed the door.Seeing that Chris lowered his head naturally and focused on the document—seemingly clear but not ready to explain—the secretary had to figure it out for a while.

Then he remembered that Chris had "forced" the young man to bet with him.

And the result... the young man won.

City railway station.

"Short... oh no, Mr. Burley, what are you doing?" The girl in a heavy coat leaned next to a young man, "Send a letter?"

The young man turned back from the mailbox, his gloved hand just left the posting opening.He was wearing a beret, wrapped in a woolen trench coat, and carrying a medium-to-large suitcase in the other hand, and he looked like he was about to travel.The girl opposite him was also carrying a small suitcase. The big red scarf and hat made her look lively and lovely.

"Send a letter? That's right." The young man tugged at his gloves, "Is your train coming? I'll see you off."

As Christmas is approaching, people go out in bright and eye-catching clothes.The train station was full of people. The young man and the young girl were two lovely young people, but they were just ordinary passengers.

"That's... a wax letter, right?" the girl said while walking with the young man, "You must have something you didn't tell us, did you?"

"Oh." The young man and the girl got on the station, the train was coming in, the sound of the machinery and the siren covered all the noise, "There are... one or two things."

The girl didn't hear clearly, she turned her head and asked, "What did you say?"

"Nothing." The young man smiled and pointed to the front right, "Is your carriage over there? Let's go there."

The young man and the girl walked to the door of the carriage and chatted a little about the future life, and then the girl checked the ticket and got on the train.

The figure of the girl appeared in the car window soon, and they bid farewell to each other like other friends or lovers.The youth held out his hand: "I wish you a pleasant journey."

"I think you must have some secret, but it's okay, you can hide it yourself." The girl's finger touched the young man's, "I have experienced the most wonderful extraordinary adventure, and there will be no more wonderful than that The journey is over."

"I'm honored that you think so." The young man leaned forward and almost kissed the girl, "Goodbye, Miss Thief."

"Goodbye, Mr. Thief."

The young man stepped back, the train roared, and slowly rolled out of the platform.He waved to the girl and watched the train disappear at the train station.Then he took out another train ticket from his pocket, carried the suitcase and walked slowly to the other side of the platform.

He did leave a thing or two unsaid.

——The word "fake" was written by him.

One month before the auction day, Rachel's gallery changed the frame, and the style was almost the same as the original "Girl Drinking Afternoon Tea".

Two weeks before the auction day, Rachel put the "Girl Drinking Afternoon Tea" bought on the market in the interlayer of the sweeper, replacing it with the academic "Girl Drinking Afternoon Tea" displayed in the gallery.She hid the paintings in the cardboard she used to wrap her new frames, and threw the whole batch together.The tramp played by Brian rummages through the garbage, finds a paper shell with weight, and takes it away.

A week before the auction day, the young man wrote with his left hand and sent a "pre-announcement letter" to the newspaper.The next day, I took advantage of my job of delivering letters to Chris, and mixed in a physical notice letter with wax seal.

Five days before the auction day, all exhibits in the Serrawi Theater were appraised.

Four days before the auction day, Feila hid the academy's "Girl Drinking Afternoon Tea" in the cleaning car, passed the security check, and successfully exchanged for the real "Girl Drinking Afternoon Tea".She wrapped the paintings in waste paper and packing cloth and hid them in her locker.On that day, young people were supervising work on the stage below.

On the day of the auction, Fela mixed the painting with the garbage of packaging materials and threw it out, and the young man was notified by the system that the painting had moved out of the theater in time.At that time, the young man was pretending to wipe the picture frame with a rag, and there was a short photosensitive pen in the rag, with which the young man quietly wrote the word "fake".

The young man did not go home that night, but the homeless man played by Brian was familiar with the route of the garbage truck, rummaged through the first batch of garbage when it arrived at the transfer station, and brought home the real product "Girl Drinking Afternoon Tea".

On the second day of the auction day, the girl Rachel brought the real product to the gallery where she worked to replace the marketed product, and the public display of the real product was timed accordingly.

Fortunately, even when the gallery was closed at night, the clock never stopped.

In fact, there is no need for young people to write the word "fake" on the frame, but on the one hand, since Selawi has already made a plan, it is better to provoke to the end; There is no need to make Serawi miserable - after all, young people are not willing to alert the police too early.

Chris's thinking was clear, and he unswervingly locked the suspects in just one day and two nights.Once the relationship between Ferra, Rachel and young David is found out, it will definitely be exposed.

Young people have already expected it, or they are planning ahead for "success but not ending immediately".He bought four train tickets, and the "Young Thieves" split into four routes and left the city at four times.

And the young man himself was the last one to leave.

Serawi never waited for the boss's temporary assistant. A train was roaring on the rails, passing through the deserted fields in winter.The train heads to the north of the country, where it's colder and more festive.

The snow outside the window.

Looking at the snowflakes outside the window, the young man took out a wax seal from the inner pocket of his jacket, and played with his fingertips to watch it.This wax seal has been used very rarely, and the envelope stamped for the last time has already been posted at the mailbox of the station just now.

The young man opened the window of the car to a gap, and the cold winter wind squeezed through the window, which was bitter and cold.The young man took one last look at the wax badge and threw it out forcefully.

The windows were closed again.

Dear Mr. Chris:

I've bought "The Girl with Tea" for a silver coin and put it where everyone can see it.Good things should be shared by everyone, right?

Hope you have a nice day!
