Bruce withdrew his gaze, followed the lead waiter around the corridor, and entered the auction venue.
There were no VIP rooms as rumored outside, and everyone was sitting on the seats under the auction stage.Looking around the venue, it was almost full of people.
Looks like tonight's auction has aroused a lot of interest.
Bruce found a seat near the door and sat down.
There are only two best ways to find someone in such a crowded venue. One is to arrive early, so that guests can observe one by one when they come in one after another. Look for them one by one at the door.
Bruce originally wanted to choose the first method. After all, no one knows what will happen during the auction. It is obviously safer to arrive early and find the person he is looking for than the latter.However, the car sent by Dawn's subordinates to pick him up was too late, so the man could only use the latter method.
Not long after he found a seat and sat down, the man and woman who arrived behind him also entered the venue.The female companion meekly held the arm of the young man who had had a dispute with the security guard.After the young man came in, he looked around the venue as Bruce did before, then turned around and sat down in a seat not far from Bruce.
Because of the previous episode in the hallway, Bruce turned his head and looked at the other person, and met a pair of sharp gray-green eyes.
The man's eyes are not big, not the big eyes with long eyelashes that are considered good-looking in the universal sense, but the narrow, deep eyes with slightly lowered eyebrows, the slightly greenish gray eyes are extraordinarily bright, as if they can straighten Look straight into people's hearts.
Bruce instinctively sounded the alarm in his heart, but the next moment, the young man looked away, as if he had just glanced inadvertently.
The vigilance in his heart fell too quickly as soon as he raised it. Bruce looked at the other party with doubts, and was immediately drawn away by the man's impressive long and narrow face.
It was the longest face Bruce had ever seen in memory.
He was slightly surprised in his heart, and looked away politely on the surface.
The host had already stepped onto the auction stage when Bruce was looking at the other party, and was delivering an opening speech at this time.
Because the purpose of attending this auction was not for those goods, Bruce didn't pay too much attention to the display stand and auctioneer in front.His eyes slowly searched the venue, trying to find the person he was looking for.
But how easy is it to find a person in the crowd who he has only seen photos of?
Bruce sat in his seat until the intermission, and he didn't see that Clarion's 'regular customer'. Instead, his own inconsistent behavior with other people in the auction house caught the attention of an acquaintance of his.
"Bruce, why are you here?"
A somewhat surprised voice came, and immediately, Adelaide walked across several seats to Bruce and sat down.
He still had the original enthusiastic smile on his face, and the dark circles under his eyes were much heavier than the last time Bruce saw him in Dawn's manor, and he looked faintly haggard.
Adelaide unconsciously entered Bruce's psychological alert zone again, and Bruce stepped back an inch subconsciously.
Adelaide laughs, oblivious to Bruce's physical resistance.
"Why are you here?" Bruce asked without answering, "I remember that your family's annual meeting will be in a few days, don't you need to make any preparations?"
"It was originally like this," Adelaide's smile faded, "but something happened a few days ago, if it leaked out..."
"I just came out to see if I could fix this."
"How can I help?" Bruce asked politely.
He wasn't interested in why Adelaide was there.Adelaide intersected with him for the nomination of the annual meeting. Later, Bruce also learned from Dawn that at this year's internal annual meeting of the Dawn family, someone would be selected to be Solan's assistant.
As Dawn's adopted son, Solan is basically the default heir.The position of assistant is indeed not as favorable as those in power in various departments at present, but in a few years, when Solan takes power, it can be regarded as a meritorious service, and the younger generation of the Dawn family just took a fancy to this point .
From this point of view, the relationship between the two is simply to get what they need, and there is no friendship.
Adelaide also rejected his help as Bruce expected, and sighed slightly sadly: "I'm just trying to see if I can solve it. If there is no way, I'm afraid I can only accept my fate."
As he said that, he showed an optimistic smile again: "Maybe the final choice is not number one? I am confident that my talent is still more prominent than others. I can't give up easily until the last moment. I still believe in the patriarch With a discerning eye."
"Lie!" Two voices sounded beside Bruce at the same time.Adelaide's smile froze suddenly.
This little gaffe was fleeting, and he immediately looked at the two men who suddenly interrupted without changing his expression.
Bruce has already turned his gaze away.
He had already recognized that one of the voices came from the direction of the man who entered the auction after him, so he looked at the other person first.This is also a very young man.
He was sitting next to a woman who seemed to be quite vigorous and vigorous. He was not good-looking, but he had a kind of unruly temperament on his body. Even if he was wearing a formal suit, he seemed a bit out of place in this venue.
The young man caught Bruce's gaze and raised an eyebrow at him, as if he was about to say something.
But the young man on the other side who had impressed Bruce was already talking.
"What happened is not a trivial matter at all. Your subordinates leaked the latest blueprint of Dawn Enterprise's Weapons R&D Department, right?" The long-faced man threw a bomb as soon as he opened his mouth.
The smile on Adelaide's face disappeared immediately, and he looked coldly at this nosy man.
The other party didn't stop at all, but looked like a soldier in a state of war, his eyes lit up, and his speech was even faster: "In order to cover up this matter, you are trying to recover the blueprint, but you have found that there is little hope. This Once this matter is exposed, not only will you not get any rewards, but you will also be severely punished, so you want to do a big thing to disrupt the situation within the Dawn family, so that they will not notice your mistakes—"
"For example, let Don Dawn disappear temporarily."
For a moment, the surroundings of several people became quiet.Although the people sitting in the auction hall are not qualified to know Dawn, they have heard of this name more or less.At this time, when they suddenly heard such deep-water torpedo-like news, they wished that they could disappear in place, and everyone was working hard to reduce their sense of existence.
Adelaide's complexion can no longer be described as ugly.
Only the young man who spoke at full speed and clicked the thunder in a few words still raised his head slightly, not caring about the changing atmosphere around him, as if he was only waiting for someone to come forward with surprise and admiration:
"How did you know?"
Adelaide's face changed several times and became a little gloomy.
Apparently, what this unknown young man said was right, and he was right in the foot.
The people nearby had already quietly walked away in a somewhat calm atmosphere. It was about the affairs of the few families at the top of the pyramid, and they didn't want to get dirty because of unnecessary curiosity.
No one answered for a long time, the long-faced young man raised his chin slightly and lowered his eyes. This expression only lasted for a moment.He seemed to be accustomed to no one responding, and immediately turned to Bruce naturally, with a somewhat haughty look: "Sherlock Holmes."
Bruce looked at the other party probingly, and shook hands with the other party: "Bruce Warner."
"How do you know?" Adelaide finally regained his senses after a brief shock.He knew that his previous gaffe had fully exposed the plan, so he didn't make much excuses.
Sherlock's attention was originally on Bruce, and he turned to look at Adelaide when he heard this question.
Asking the question was not the person he wanted to attract attention, which made the young man a little uninterested: "Isn't it obvious?"
As he spoke, he looked around: "There are bloodshot eyes, dull complexion, and obvious dark circles under your eyes. You haven't slept for at least three days, which means that it's not a small trouble. The clothes are neat and tidy, and the beard has just been trimmed. Obviously you are in a good mood today, at least you have thought of a solution to the problem."
There were only Sherlock and his female companion, Bruce, and the other young man who had spoken before.All attention was focused on what Sherlock had said.
"I am in the mood to tidy up my appearance, but the time of the watch has not been adjusted. Although there is a solution, the method is also risky, which makes you inattentive to pay attention to these details—" the man elongated his tone, and looked down at Adelaide "There are mud spots on the heels. I just came to Florence this morning. I came here to avoid suspicion and trouble."
"It's not enough to conclude that he wants to kidnap Don Dawn." The man who spoke at the same time as Sherlock questioned.
Bruce's eyes turned to him.
"I'm Carl, Carl Letterman." The man introduced himself.
Sherlock glanced over.
"Of course you can't figure it out based on these alone, but when you know his identity—" He took out the phone from his pocket, clicked on the screen, and there was an interface for sending text messages on the screen.
Inside is a photo of Adelaide's profile, which was obviously taken just now when a few people were not paying attention.The text message sent back by the recipient without a note is also very simple: the current director of the Weapons R&D Department of Dawn Enterprises is expected to be promoted next year.
"It's so obvious that even those fools at Scotland Yard could reason it out."
The author has something to say:
Xia Dangdang: Any fool in Scotland Yard can guess [Hats for Scotland Yard]
Scotland Yard: I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense [quickly take off your hat and hide]
Uninformed people: Scotland Yard seems to be very powerful——
【After the incident】
Scotland Yard: Sherlock QAQ—
Xia Dangdang: I'm really curious about what's in your little brain, maybe it's empty?
