Gold sale

After confirming the fact that the meteorite was not really stolen but was hidden, the first thing Su Ji thought of was to check the museum's recent schedule.

However, let them directly ask the curator for this kind of thing under the current status of students, even if they think about it with their toes, they can guess that they will be rejected by the other party.However, Su Ji was not happy to let Su Ji use his skills to force the curator to submit.After all, from the current observation, the curator may not know much.That being the case, there is no need for him to waste his precious skills on an npc with little use value.

After much deliberation, Su Ji finally sent the demon Baal to steal the schedule from the curator's office.

Although at the beginning, he only had the mentality of taking a gamble, but he never thought that Su Ji could really see a clue in this schedule.

There are not many exhibitors in this museum, and there are only two people in charge of Exhibition Hall 8.But three days before the robbery, one of the exhibitors was hospitalized with a severe food allergy.After that, only one person remained in charge of Hall 2.In addition, he also discovered that a month before the theft, the museum had undergone a routine inspection inside and out.

Instinctively, Su Ji felt that these things seemed to be related to the theft.

It is easy to say that it is not easy to hide a collection from people's noses, but it is not difficult to say it is difficult.Now that the other party can come up with such a way to covertly cover Chen Cang, it is not impossible to use another trick to deceive the world.But to do this, all links must cooperate well.

Exhibitors, maintenance workers, security guards... If all these people participated in the whole plan, it would be a breeze to create an illusion that the meteorite was indeed stolen.

Realizing this, he wanted to find the exhibitor in charge of Hall 8, but unfortunately, the other party was called by the police to take notes.For a while, he had to temporarily change his plan and find the repairman Jack who was in charge of the maintenance of the exhibition hall a month ago.

Facts have proved that Su Ji's choice is correct.Using his skills, he obtained the information he wanted from the other party without any effort.

It turned out that the repairman had indeed tampered with the museum's security system.But what surprised him was that the other party didn't seem to know that the meteorite would be stolen.

According to the repairman named Jack, he owed a huge debt from gambling before, and the creditor threatened to cut off his hands if he did not repay the money within a week.He originally planned to take the risk and go to the museum to steal some valuable items to pay off the debt, but at this moment he received a mysterious anonymous letter.The sender asked him to tamper with the museum's security system during the inspection.He didn't intend to pay attention at first, but then he hesitated when he received an envelope with a lot of cash in his mailbox.

He counted the amount in it, and it happened to be able to repay the debt he owed before.Thinking of the threat from the creditor, Jack finally did what the letter said.

At first, he was also worried that what he had done would be exposed.But more than half a month passed, and nothing happened in the museum.So he gradually relaxed.

Until today, a month later, two thefts occurred in the museum.This terrified Jack.Right now he is like a frightened bird for fear of being discovered that he has something to do with this matter.

In the face of police inquiries, he tried his best to downplay his presence in the whole incident.It's a pity that he managed to cope with the police's questioning, but he was no match for Su Ji's skills, so he explained everything in one go.

After listening to Jack's statement, Su Ji thought for a moment and asked, "So...you don't know who sent you the letter, do you?"

"Yes..." Jack replied with dull eyes.

"That means you don't know who stole the meteorite, right?"

"Yes……"

Hearing this, Liu Wenhan looked at Su Ji: "It seems that he really only knows this, even if we ask again, we won't be able to ask anything."

Shao Feng: "That's right, Su Ji, I think we still have to ask the display clerk."

Su Ji naturally knew this too, but he still didn't give up immediately.

"One last question. Where were you when it happened?"

Hearing this, I saw Jack was stunned as if he was recalling carefully.After a while, he said slowly, "I'm going to buy betting tickets."

"Market ticket?" Shao Feng was puzzled: "What is that?"

Liu Wenhan: "It's a lottery specially issued by the racetrack for horse gamblers. This kind of lottery seems to be quite popular all over the world."

"Oh—so that's the case." Shao Feng suddenly nodded, and after a while he seemed to think of something again and poked Liu Wenhan's arm with a smirk: "How do you know this? Did you buy it too?"

I thought Liu Wenhan would hastily deny it, but he never thought that the other party would actually nod his head, "I bought it."

Shao Feng:! ! !

"Really?!" Shao Feng looked at Liu Wenhan in astonishment, and then showed a "distressed" expression: "I thought you were a positive and good student, but I didn't expect you to bet on horses." .”

"..." Liu Wenhan: "It's just that my uncle took me to the racetrack when I was a child. He insisted on saying that novices are lucky in gambling, so he gave me money and asked me to buy one."

Shao Feng: "So you got hit?"

Liu Wenhan thought for a while and said, "I won the prize. It was my uncle who bought a few more tickets with the money he won, and then he lost it all."

Shao Feng: "..."

Isn't this useless?

Ignoring the two people in the crooked building, Su Ji asked Jack: "Can you still go to buy betting tickets during working hours?"

"I sneaked out. The curator is not strict with the management of the staff." As he spoke, Jack raised his head slightly, with a trace of determination in his dull eyes: "I will definitely win this time. Gene said After that, No. 5 will definitely win."

Looking at his appearance, Shao Feng couldn't help shaking his head, "This guy, even now he still wants to make money by gambling. He was forced to chop off his hands by his creditors before... So it is right to strictly prohibit pornography, gambling and drugs Yes, once you get addicted to gambling, it's over."

Liu Wenhan: "That's right, a small gamble is enjoyable and a big gamble is harmful to the body. This person is obviously addicted to gambling."

Su Ji asked: "Who is Gene? How does he know that No. 5 will definitely win?"

The two were a little puzzled by Su Ji's sudden question.They didn't understand why Su Ji asked this.At first glance, this kind of thing has nothing to do with the main plot, right?

Shao Feng waved his hand and said, "You don't need to think about this Gene to know that he is a gambler. Or he is a betting ticket seller who deliberately fooled him in order to make him bet on horses."

Not only Shao Feng, but also Liu Wenhan thinks so.However, in the next second, Jack's answer surprised everyone——

"Gene is the curator's assistant."

Su Ji & Shao Feng & Liu Wenhan:! ! !

what? !

Seeing that Jack said calmly, "Gene is amazing. He has never lost on the horses he picked. I learned from him when I bet on horses. When I got off work last night, he told me that number 5 would definitely win. So I sneaked out at work this morning and bought a number 5 betting ticket."

Hearing this, Su Ji couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows.Before the theft happened, Jack, one of the people involved in the case, happened to go to buy betting tickets, and he was instigated by the curator assistant named Jean.It would be too coincidental to say it was just a coincidence.

Could it be... this Gene is related to that mysterious sender?The reason why Jack was dismissed was because he was afraid that the other party would see his actions and let him guess that he was related to the sender.

Realizing this possibility, Su Ji narrowed his eyes.

It seems that I have to find a way to meet this curator assistant named Jean for a while.

"What are you doing?!"

Suddenly a man's voice came from afar.

Hearing the sound, the three of them turned their heads in unison.I saw a brown-haired young man of medium height and ordinary appearance standing behind everyone.

The person who came was the curator assistant Jean they had seen before.

Gene glanced at Jack who was silent at the side, then looked at the three oriental teenagers in front of him, and frowned, "Why are you still here? I remember that your teacher should have picked you up Right?"

Facing the other party's inquiry, Su Ji responded quickly: "It's rare to come here to visit but we have encountered such a thing. We feel very sorry. So I want to visit this place again before going back. The teacher also agrees. gone."

However, what he said could not impress the other party, and Gene said with a serious face: "Unfortunately, everyone's visit today has come to an end. Because of the accident in the morning, the museum needs to be closed for renovation. You should go back early. "

Su Ji looked at Jin with a fixed gaze.

The gambler's eyes were full of fanaticism, anxiety and frustration, but there was nothing in the eyes of the young man in front of him.The brown-haired young man in front of him spoke softly, and his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing. He didn't look like a gambler like Jack at all.

Intuition gave Su Ji a judgment——

Something is wrong with this person.

Although aware of this, Su Ji didn't intend to act immediately.He believes that there must be other people behind this man named Jean, and if he wants to catch the big fish behind him, he can't startle the snake right now.

Thinking about it, Su Ji then nodded obediently, "You are right. Sorry, we are the ones who caused you trouble."

As if they didn't expect Su Ji to answer like this, Shao Feng and Liu Wenhan couldn't help but startled.

Su Ji didn't use his skills to control the opponent!Could it be because his skills have expired?

Although I have doubts, now is not the time to ask questions.Seeing Su Ji winking at them, the two immediately nodded in agreement.

Gene originally had a little wariness towards these three weird-behaving teenagers, but when he saw the other party leaving obediently, this wariness gradually dissipated.

"It's getting late, I'll take you out."

The tone of the other party was gentle but his attitude was a little tough.It is naturally impossible for Su Ji to utter the words of refusal under such circumstances to arouse Jin's suspicion.So he nodded slightly: "Then I will trouble you."

……

After leaving the museum, Shao Feng, who had been holding back all the way, couldn't help asking: "Su Ji, why did you agree to leave just now? Why didn't you use skills to directly control him?"

"Because we wouldn't be able to catch the big fish that way."

Big fish?

Su Ji turned around and looked at the magnificent building in the distance, "If my guess is correct, they will act tonight."
