The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

As the large group walked towards the backstage on the first floor, many guests in the ordinary seats nodded to the heads of the families.

After the first six days of getting to know each other, although most people didn't know that Xu Yiyu was the generous VIP in Box 6, Xu Yiyu, who was so beautiful, had gained some fame among the guests attending the auction, so many people who were familiar with her greeted her.

When Xu Yiyu and Lu Sanshi passed by Tian Xu, Tian Xu didn't know whether he really didn't recognize Xu Yiyu or was really forgetful, but he actually smiled and waved to Xu Yiyu, who was in a red dress, in a familiar manner.

This guy's face is as thick as a city wall, right? Is she familiar with him? Tian Xu has never seen her true face, so it can be said that he doesn't even know her!

There were many people on the first floor, and Xu Yiyu did not confront Tian Xu in public. The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he nodded in a very perfunctory manner, then hurriedly continued to walk backstage.

When the perfect couple walked away hand in hand, many people looked at them, expressing envy, jealousy or dissatisfaction, as if they were puzzled by their superior status.

Although Tian Xu was somewhat shocked when he first saw the male corpse in the coffin, he was able to adjust himself in an instant with perfect expression management, and his movements as he leaned against the back of the seat were no longer stiff.

At this treasure auction, he only bought two not particularly important items in the first two days. Although it can be said that he got nothing, he did not achieve the purpose of coming to this auction.

At this moment, his calm mood was mixed with a hint of gloating, and he was really curious whether this auction could be successfully concluded.

However, the atmosphere backstage at the auction was not as calm as that in the venue.

The coffin, which had been carefully moved backstage, was now covered by a huge glass cover and given the most rudimentary low-oxygen environment treatment, but the coffin lid was still missing and the face of the male corpse was still clearly exposed to everyone's eyes.

Among them, the faces of several female staff members had gradually turned blue, and their lips had lost their rosy color and turned extremely pale.

There was no way. A colleague who was working with me yesterday changed into such a weird outfit in broad daylight and lay in a Han Dynasty coffin that was thousands of years old, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. No one would be in a good mood.

"Do you know him?"

Zhou Fu, who was the first to arrive at the backstage, did not greet any of the staff. He asked the question in a serious and straightforward manner.

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, the man in the coffin was the colleague who worked the night shift in the monitoring room yesterday. He said hello and goodbye to us when we got off work yesterday. He didn't come today because it was his day off. The other colleagues didn't find it strange. They didn't expect to see him in the coffin at all."

A staff member with a different colored work badge on his chest glanced behind Zhou Fu, and when he saw that most people had arrived, he immediately explained the identity of the "male corpse" in the most concise and direct terms possible.

Although Xu Yiyu and Lu Sanshi were the last to arrive at the backstage, they did not miss any explanations from the staff. In order to more conveniently observe the specific situation of the "male corpse", she took off the mask she had been wearing on her face and pulled Lu Sanshi to the glass cover.

The face of the "male corpse" was very peaceful. There were no scars caused by external forces on his exposed neck and facial features. There was even a faint redness under his skin, as if he was just asleep.

"Master Zhou, if it's not too much trouble, can I ask a few staff members a question?"

Xu Yiyu roughly observed the details in the coffin, restrainedly made a request to Zhou Fu, and did not interrupt the conversation between the two without permission.

"Xu Xiaoyou, just ask."

Longtengju is the Zhou family's property. To put it in a broader sense, someone died on his territory. He is in a very difficult situation right now, so naturally he doesn't mind having one more person who can help him solve the problem.

"Excuse me, when you carried the coffin to the backstage, did you confirm the specific condition of the person inside? Is he really without any vital signs now?"

The appearance of the "male corpse" was so deceptive that without confirmation with medical equipment, Xu Yiyu had reason to confirm every possibility in his mind.

"We were in a hurry to move the coffin to the backstage, but there happened to be a doctor from the medical team present. He has confirmed that our colleague has indeed no vital signs. However, the time of death needs to be confirmed more carefully, so we can't draw a conclusion yet."

The staff member who looked like a team leader let a middle-aged man wearing silver-rimmed glasses step out from behind him. The man nodded to the people backstage with a heavy expression. Perhaps because he had just come into contact with a dead person, he could not smile at all.

"Family heads, my suggestion is to call the police and let the authorities handle the matter. I understand that the auction is very important to you, but after what happened today, it is inappropriate to proceed with the auction process anyway. What do you think?"

At this auction, she, Xu, was just a guest and could not call the police on her own without the permission of several family heads. Making this suggestion now was both a reasonable proposal and a reminder to the four family heads.

Xu Yiyu didn't know whether these family heads had been involved in any murders, openly or secretly, but since such a thing happened at the auction, she couldn't convince her conscience to turn a blind eye when she was present.

"Of course. I have just asked my men to notify the police. We have not asked the guests to leave yet. When the police arrive, they may take other measures. We old guys will also fully cooperate with the investigation."

The person who spoke this time was not Zhou Fu, but Gu Liang, the head of the Gu family, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes.

Gu Yan, dressed in cheongsam, was now standing behind her brother. She seemed to have noticed that Xu Yiyu had seen her, and nodded to Xu Yiyu gracefully and reservedly as a greeting.

"Excuse me, junior. Could you please ask a few staff members to pull up the surveillance video from last night when the items were checked to when the coffin was put on the stage? It should be useful for reference when the police arrive later."

Receiving Xu Yiyu's eye hint, Sanshi interjected at the right time and looked at the heads of several families inquiringly, as if asking whether this was feasible.

"Little friend Lu is thoughtful." Wu Chen showed admiration in his eyes, and whispered a few words to the person behind him. "This is indeed a way to confirm the ins and outs of this incident."

Xu Yiyu, who had already watched the surveillance video that Tongzi had given him, was actually already shortlisting a few people who were most likely to take action.

You have to be familiar with the location of the auction items, and also know the locations and blind spots of the various surveillance cameras in the warehouse. You should choose a time when it is late at night and the alarms around the auction items have not been triggered...

Only someone who is extremely familiar with the venue can do this. If it is not an internal employee, then it should be a guest or seller attending the conference, and it is unlikely to be an outsider.

However, even so, it will be extremely difficult for the police to investigate after arriving at the scene. After all, this is a large-scale treasure auction with so many participants. There are probably hundreds of witnesses today alone. It will be extremely difficult to catch the real culprit among them.
