Mind Reader III

Haifan's way of looking at the problem provided Shen Yan and the others with a new perspective.If the face that usually appears in front of people is the disguise, then the real face will definitely be very eye-catching in such an environment where the number of people is already very limited.But there is a possibility that Peter Pan's original face looks very similar to someone in the castle. As long as the makeup is removed, he can pretend to act as that person, and maybe put the blame on someone else.

"How could it be such a coincidence," Song Qi disapproved, "Unless they are identical twins. But if they are really twins, it is easy to reveal their secrets, and it will be revealed after a search."

Ji Yuyang said, "What if it's plastic surgery?"

"Plastic surgery? Just to steal a piano?"

Haifan's eyes lit up, "It's possible! I've heard of the famous strange thief in the world more or less, but I've never heard of this one named Peter Pan. Either he's just a low-level thief, or the identity of Peter Pan is his identity. It's the first time, or... he forged such an identity just to steal this violin."

Shen Yan nodded, "The tone on his card is different from those of the famous phantom thieves. The phantom thieves who take pleasure in stealing or collecting have always seemed very casual and arrogant, but his words are very cautious, and there is also a hint of respect for the owner of the violin. This Peter Pan attaches great importance to this violin. He thinks that Messiah’s falling into the hands of Louis, a local tyrant who doesn’t know music and only knows arty, is to bury the violin. First of all, this strange thief should be a violinist, so He can't be a professional phantom thief, any trailers and cards are just his smoke bombs, making people focus on the night of the 22nd."

Long Yao asked, "You mean he won't steal on time?"

"If you follow this line of thinking, I'm afraid it is, and Louis' move to take out the piano tonight is not only a good time for us, but also a good time for Peter Pan to get his hands on it."

"Then is this thief disguised or plastic surgery?" Long Yao said distressedly, "There are so many people, how do we know who is real and who is fake."

"We don't have to worry about what he looks like," Shen Yan said, "just use the simplest and most violent method."

Hearing the simple violence, the eyes of Seawolf and the others lit up.They like simple violence. Anyway, what they want to ensure is that the fake violin can be brought back. As for the real violin, whether Louis Tyrant will lose something, whether Peter Pan will be arrested, it is not in their scope. Inside.According to what Song Qi said, if it wasn't for Xu Ling's personal skills that he sought from Shen Yan, this matter should have been dealt with in a simple and violent way. He would have sent someone to break open the cabinet and change the piano at night, and run away. There's no need to help this local tyrant catch a thief.

"The thief still has to be caught," Shen Yanfeng's turnaround sentence brought Song Qi in YY back to his original shape, "Hai Fan's words just reminded me, I think I already know who the thief is."

"who is it?!"

"I don't have any evidence yet, it's just some intuition combined with before and after."

Song Qi's face darkened, "You don't want to be a good person to help again, do you? Last time the mission was over, and you still had to wipe your ass about Chris, this time you know who the thief is, you don't want to try to influence him Bar?"

Shen Yan rolled his eyes, "I don't want to take the route of the Holy Mother to influence people, I just think it would be a pity if that person was really arrested. And maybe if we talk about the matter, there will be an unexpected ending Woolen cloth?"

I don't know if there is an unexpected ending, but there are unexpected accidents.The dinner was held in the restaurant of the East Building, and when Shen Yan and the others arrived, they immediately noticed the strange atmosphere.Louis was still sitting on the main seat indifferently, and Xu Ling next to him was talking to him in a low voice. After a quick glance, Fred and Alex weren't there.

Shen Yan sat down next to Xu Ling calmly, and when Xu Ling came back after talking with Louis, he whispered in Shen Yan's ear with a natural expression, "Fred is watching the venue in the banquet hall in the afternoon, and from the spiral staircase He fell down and was taken to the hospital."

Such a "coincidence"?

"Has he and Alex both left Fort Green?"

"The servant drove them there. They are on their way now. I called just now to inquire about the situation. The doctor in Feili Town suggested transferring them to a big hospital in the city. The servant and Alex have already sent them there."

In other words, these two people will not appear in the castle tonight. It takes two hours to drive from Greenburg to the nearest city. Therefore canceled.

"What's the plan for that night?"

"As usual, Annie will play for Fred."

Shen Yan frowned, "Why did you choose Annie?"

"Louis personally appreciates Annie's performance, and talked to Annie for a while in the afternoon. Annie seems to have heard of Fred's last song from somewhere, and told Louis that she is also good at the devil's vibrato, and played it for Louis on the spot. A paragraph."

Shen Yan looked at Annie's position, Annie was sitting diagonally across from Shen Yan, chatting happily with the person next to her, her expression was as normal as if nothing had happened.

"What's wrong?" Xu Ling asked, "Is the plan changing?"

"No need," Shen Yan picked up the wine glass and smiled, "Just let your man feel at ease and watch the good show."

"...I don't have a man."

Shen Yan had been invited to something as grand as a concert before, and fell asleep in less than 2 minutes. After returning, he studied the method of applying classical music to hypnosis.

It's really no wonder that he has no taste, although Shen Yan knows how to pretend to be forceful, but it's not forceful enough, he can't reach the realm of chaos and nature, no matter how tall things are, they can turn into sound waves of hypnotic frequency in his ears.So after the opening piece of the concert, he pissed off.

Louis has a blind trust in the identity of the Phantom Thief. He always feels that since the Phantom Thief has set a time, he will definitely steal it at that time. The violin was safe before.After the violin was taken out, it was handed over to Butler Button, and he could enjoy the music with peace of mind, completely forgetting that someone threatened his 1200 million knife.

Xu Ling was different. As a personal assistant, he had to work hard to arrange security personnel for the boss.Louis originally wanted him to accompany him to listen to music with peace of mind, but Xu Ling was not aggressive enough, and used business as an excuse to observe suspicious people around the banquet hall.However, in the first half an hour, except for the suspicious person Shen Yan, no one responded, sitting like a statue, making Xu Ling deeply doubt whether they were sleeping with their eyes open.

Just when the concert was going on so much that even Xu Ling who was standing was about to fall asleep, it finally came to the penultimate song.Annie also exited from the auditorium, led by Xu Ling to a backstage room.This room has been soundproofed, and Anne can try the piano here, and then go directly back to the banquet hall through the other door of this room.

"It's a great honor in my life to be able to play the Messiah myself," Annie said with excitement and a musician's passion for art. One day I will play another Messiah myself. Compared with the famous piano in the museum, this Messiah is much luckier.”

"Lucky?" Xu Ling asked noncommittally, "How do you say that? The violin is a dead thing, whether it is luck or misfortune, isn't it all the feelings that people impose on them."

Annie laughed, "It's a musical instrument, not a work of art. Only when it can be played by others can it reflect its value."

"But that also depends on who plays it, doesn't it?"

Regarding Xu Ling's slightly unfriendly tone, Annie did not show any negative emotions, but said with a smile, "Yes, it is really a question of whether the player is worthy of this violin. From this point of view, Lorengrin Mister's vision is really not very good."

"Miss Anne is really humble."

Although she knew that Annie was talking about Fred, but Xu Ling's explanation made her slap her own mouth.Annie thought to herself that the orientals were really difficult to deal with, and among the orientals in the castle, only Shen Yan would be kind to her.

There were two tall and strong male servants guarding the door of the soundproof room. They opened the door after seeing Xu Ling. Butler Barton was sitting in the room alone, with a violin case on the table in front of him. Wang said hello to Butler Button.

"Miss Anne, this is the Messiah."

Butler Button opened the piano case, revealing the beautiful maple-red body of the piano.Annie wanted to get it excitedly, but Xu Ling stopped her.

"Miss Anne, can you answer a few questions for me before tuning."

Although Annie was in a hurry, she knew that there was a strange thief. It was understandable for Xu Ling and Butler Button to be cautious.So she withdrew her hand and said, "What does Assistant Xu want to ask?"

"Miss Annie, you once had an older brother, didn't you?"

Annie was taken aback, her eyes flickered for a moment, and she immediately avoided looking directly at Xu Ling, glanced at the lower corner inadvertently, and said, "Assistant Xu's inquiry is really clear, it's something I did when I was a child."

Seeing Butler Barton's blank expression, Xu Ling explained, "Miss Anne has a brother named Andy who is one year older. Later, Miss Anne's parents divorced. Her brother followed her father, and Miss Anne followed her mother."

Annie nodded, "That's right, but I don't know what Assistant Xu meant by asking about this matter at this time? If you want to chat, please make an appointment when I'm free."

Xu Ling ignored her and asked again, "I wonder what Miss Anne's brother is doing now?"

Annie said, "I don't know about that. I haven't seen him since my father took him away. Assistant Xu wants to find out about my brother. Why don't you hire a private detective?"

Xu Ling nodded, "Miss Anne is right, I did hire a private detective."

Both Annie and Butler Button were taken aback. Which one is this from?

"Miss Anne's elder brother, Mr. Andy, left his hometown to live in New York with his father when he was 6 years old, but according to their contract renewal records, the two did not live well. They lived in a poor area, and their father did not have a fixed job. Dilian didn't even finish high school. Ten years ago, when Mr. Andy was 20 years old, his father died in a gangster fire, and Andy has since disappeared."

Butler Button and Annie were attracted by Xu Ling's sudden story. At this time, no one noticed that the violin placed on the table less than one meter away from them suddenly moved.

"Not only that," Xu Ling continued, "Since then, Andy's personal records have also been erased as if the world had evaporated. The young man who came to the police station to collect his father's body, no one in this world knows that Andy ever existed."

Seeing Annie's surprised face, Xu Ling asked, "You don't want to know, why does that old policeman still remember the young man he only met a few times ten years ago?"

"……why?"

"Because he is a black policeman and a sex maniac. He saw that Andy was very beautiful. He followed Andy to Andy's house during the few times he dealt with the police station, and wanted to attack Andy. Who knew that Andy Dee had bodyguards, he was stopped, and those gangster bodyguards dragged him into the alley and taught him a lesson, and he never got up again—I mean that.”

Annie remained surprised for a while and then asked, "Then... where's Andy?"

"The black policeman knew the origins of those gangsters, and asked their opponents to go to Andy's house to take revenge. Unexpectedly, Andy's house was empty at that time, and there was no Andy in this world when he searched again. exists."

Annie and Butler Button didn't understand what Xu Ling was doing all of a sudden, but Xu Ling's cell phone vibrated suddenly.He picked up the phone and glanced at it, then said, "It's almost time, Miss Anne should try the piano first."

After speaking, he sat aside and looked at Anne leisurely like a normal person.Butler Barton also recovered from the story Xu Ling told, picked up the violin lying in the box and handed it to Anne, "Miss Anne, Mr. Kruger, who played the Messiah at the auction, tuned it, and the master will then Don't touch it, please ask Miss Anne to audition."

Although she was baffled by Xu Ling's performance, after getting the Messiah, the excitement in Annie's heart instantly dispelled her previous doubts, and she began to audition.The quality of Messiah is already quite high, and this violin has been well maintained in the hands of the original owner. If the original owner hadn’t had to put up his property for auction, the twins of Oxford Messiah would not have appeared In front of the public.

After playing for a while and fine-tuning, Anne said with satisfaction, "The timbre is perfect, and it really deserves to be the work of Antonio Stradivari."

"Then don't disturb Miss Anne's practice. Butler Barton will accompany Miss Anne. I will take my leave first."

After speaking, Xu Ling walked away without looking back. Annie glanced at the door strangely, and asked Butler Button, "How did Assistant Xu think of investigating my brother? I almost forgot that there is such a brother." , he really cares."

Butler Barton was also puzzled, but he did not answer Anne's question, but said, "Assistant Xu is very concerned about the master, and he will naturally care about the people and things around the master. Miss Anne, there are still 15 minutes, you need Do you want to practice again?"

"No need, Qin and I are in good condition now, let's play directly later."
