Gold sale

For a moment, the curator's smile froze on his face.

"Stolen? What was stolen?"

The red-haired young man was out of breath and said, "Meteor... Meteorite!"

"...Meteorite?"

The curator seemed a little unresponsive, "Which meteorite?"

"That's right, the biggest one in Hall 8."

"what?!"

The curator's expression turned into disbelief.He grabbed the red-haired young man by the shoulder: "What you said is true?"

"It's absolutely true! That meteorite is really gone!" The red-haired young man urged anxiously, "Go and see it!"

At this time, the curator could no longer care about the police who hadn't left, and hurriedly followed the young man to leave.Hearing that another exhibit was stolen, Police Officer Hawkins gave a few words to his subordinates and followed immediately.

Like the No. 4 exhibition hall where dinosaur skeletons are stored, No. 8 exhibition hall is also a fully open exhibition hall.The exhibits here are mainly various meteorites.These meteorites vary in size, and the most famous and valuable one is the giant meteorite weighing five tons in the center of the exhibition hall.

However, at this time, the five-ton meteorite on the huge round platform in the center of the exhibition hall has disappeared.

"Oh my god……"

For a moment, the curator seemed to have been greatly frightened, his legs limp on the ground in an instant.Officer Hawkins, who had just followed the curator, couldn't help but be stunned looking at the scene in front of him.

It's just that he was not surprised by the disappearance of the meteorite, but by the intactness of the scene.

The exhibition hall in front of me shows no trace of being damaged by anyone.

In addition, there were three more people who should not have appeared on the scene.

Not far away, three middle school boys with oriental faces were squatting in the corner as if observing something.Seeing this, the curator's assistant immediately walked over to try to persuade them to leave.Just as he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly widened: "Why are you two here?"

Hearing this, Police Officer Hawkins asked the curator's assistant: "Do you know them?"

Seeing Police Officer Hawkins, the curator's assistant hesitated, then shook his head: "I don't really know each other. It's just that one of these three children was taken hostage by the robbers just now, and the other was in the process of the robbers' escape. Come out and block the opponent's way."

Hostages and... students blocking the way of the robbers?

Officer Hawkins couldn't help but look at the three oriental teenagers who were only about as tall as his chest, and there was a hint of imperceptible scrutiny in his eyes.

Facing the scrutiny of the police, the three of them were very calm.Shao Feng's because of his nerve, Liu Wenhan's because he didn't expose it in front of everyone. As for Su Ji...his psychological quality is already good.

Seeing the calm expressions of the teenagers, Hawkins gradually withdrew his probing gaze.

On the side, the curator's assistant seemed to suddenly think of something and said, "You guys make it hard for us to find it everywhere."

Liu Wenhan: "Excuse me, what's the matter?"

Assistant curator: "The robber has been caught, and the police need you to take notes." After finishing speaking, he looked at Police Officer Hawkins beside him.

"There are indeed a few questions that need to be asked." Hawkins nodded slightly and took out his notepad, "Where did you go after the robbers escaped?"

The moment Liu Wenhan heard the question, his heart skipped a beat.

It finally came.

It was fine for him to leave the scene alone, Su Ji and Shao Feng had confronted the gangsters head-on just now.Especially Shao Feng, who was kidnapped just now.After the catastrophe, he didn't stay where he was for the rest of his life, but instead ran around with them, which is unreasonable.

You can't tell the police that they know there will be a meteorite theft here, so they came here early, right?

Just when Liu Wenhan was worried about how to lie, Su Ji said very calmly: "My friend was frightened and was not feeling well, so after the robber escaped, the two of us took him to the coffee shop here to rest. "

Hearing this, Hawkins frowned, "Didn't you say hello to your teacher?"

"No." Su Ji looked at Shao Feng calmly: "Because he was emotionally unstable just now. We guessed that he might need some hot milk to calm down, so we brought him here."

When Shao Feng heard this, he nodded in cooperation, "Ah, that's true."

Su Ji took out a small ticket from his pocket and handed it over: "This is the purchase record."

Hawkins took it and glanced at it. Hot milk x1, iced Americano x1, and latte x1 cost a total of 15$.

Judging from the ticket purchase record, the drink was purchased about 20 minutes ago, and it happened to be the time when the robbers escaped from the museum...

Su Ji: "If you don't believe it, you can ask the clerk in the coffee shop over there. I think he can testify for us." Looking in the direction of the boy's finger, there is indeed a place not far from Exhibition Hall 8. A small coffee shop.

On the way over, Su Ji thought that he might be questioned by the police or museum staff, so he went to the cafe and bought three drinks to cover up their unnatural departure.Didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

Hawkins glanced at the coffee shop and didn't respond. He just put the receipt into the notepad and asked, "Since you were around here before, did you see the criminal who stole the meteorite?"

"No." Su Ji shook his head, "The meteorite was gone when we came."

"What?" Hawkins' pupils dilated slightly, "It was already gone when it came?"

"Yeah, we also heard that person said that the meteorite was gone, so we came to watch the excitement." On the side, Liu Wenhan pointed to the red-haired young man standing beside the curator, who was frantically bowing his knees.

Hawkins couldn't help frowning when he heard this, which is too coincidental.

Not only Hawkins, but even Su Ji and the other three felt it was a coincidence.

It was because they were worried that the meteorite would be stolen, so after saving Shao Feng, the three of them rushed to the No. 8 exhibition hall non-stop, but who would have thought that even so they would not catch up.

The robbers had just robbed the dinosaur eggs on the front foot, and the meteorite in another exhibition hall on the back foot disappeared.It's hard not to suspect that the previous robbery was a fog bomb unleashed to cover up the latter.

After thinking for a moment, Hawkins asked, "Then you haven't seen any other suspicious people?"

"No."

Hearing the other party's firm answer, Hawking paused his pen, then closed the notebook in his hand, "Thank you for your cooperation. Presumably your teacher should be looking for you everywhere now, and you can leave."

Watching Hawkins leave, Shao Feng poked his head quietly and whispered to Su Ji: "He shouldn't be suspicious just now, right?"

Su Ji raised his eyebrows, "What are you afraid of? It's not like we stole things."

"I didn't expect this theft to happen so quickly." Liu Wenhan sighed with regret, "I was thinking of stopping the criminal before the meteorite was stolen."

Su Ji: "The game mission says 'there will be a shocking theft in the Museum of Natural History. Please find the real thief within the time limit specified in the game.' If this is the case, then the theft will definitely happen, let's If you can’t stop it, you can only follow the rules and find the culprit.”

Shao Feng, "So, do you have any idea who the prisoner is?"

Liu Wenhan shook his head, "There are too few clues. There are no traces at the scene." Everything was the same as what they saw in the materials before.

Shao Feng stood up suddenly, "I still don't believe it, such a large meteorite can really evaporate?"

"It is impossible for meteorites to evaporate."

"Use the robbers who robbed the dinosaur eggs to distract everyone's attention, and take this opportunity to transfer the meteorite." Su Ji said and paused: "This is an internal gang committing the crime."

Shao Feng: "Although I think so too, we have no evidence."

Liu Wenhan: "It's not just us, the police probably don't have any evidence either. Otherwise, this case wouldn't have become unsolved."

Shao Feng sighed: "Turning around and returning to the original point. How can we fix this?"

I heard him whispering in a low voice: "You said this game is real, what kind of identity is assigned to us. What use can middle school students be, at least give it to our entire police! Wouldn't we be able to investigate the case in a legitimate way? "

Su Ji & Liu Wenhan: "..."

Indeed, it is most convenient to be a police officer who wants to participate in solving the case.But right now, they can only be regarded as "victims" of the previous case at best, and they are not of much help in completing the task.Moreover, students who are minors also mean that they will be subject to more threats and restrictions.

What a hassle.

"I don't know what old Cheng's status is now." Shao Feng said suddenly, "By the way, what about the others? We've been here for so long, why haven't we seen Lao Cheng and sister Xu?"

Hearing this, the three of them, who experienced a thrilling catastrophe not long ago, remembered such an important thing.

Those robbers made such a big fuss just now, it's impossible for other players not to notice.But so far only three of them have appeared.

This is very unusual.

Thinking about it, Su Ji immediately opened the game panel to contact other people.

However, the strange thing is that the chat group in front of me can't enter any information.

What's even more unbelievable is that a line of small red characters appeared in the upper right corner of the group chat——

[This group of players is not in the same service area, the system cannot provide chat services. 】

Shao Feng:! ! !

Liu Wenhan:! ! !

What's happening here?Why is it not in the same service area? !

As if they couldn't believe it, Shao and Liu immediately clicked on their respective chat panels, but there was still the same red letter in the upper right corner.

Seeing this, the two looked at each other.

What the hell is going on here? !

Looking at the line of red letters in front of him, Su Ji narrowed his eyes.Suddenly, an unknown premonition gradually struck.

……

No wonder, no wonder the survival time limit given for this dungeon is three days, so they are waiting here.

After repeated attempts to no avail, Liu Wenhan asked his concubine in mourning, "So we can't contact them?"

Su Ji: "I think it should be. We should not be in the same space as other people now."

Shao Feng was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Su Ji pursed her lips, "If I'm not wrong, the dungeon this time should be the same as the second story of the previous special dungeon."

Hearing this, Liu Wenhan was startled, "...Brother Su Ji, what do you mean?"

Su Ji nodded slightly, "All the players are forced into groups, and each group has its own tasks. If we want to leave here to meet them, we can only complete the tasks in front of us."

"In other words, this time we can only rely on the three of us to find the culprit."

Shao Feng & Liu Wenhan: What? ! ! !
