Mind Reader III
Chapter 18
When the banquet lasted until 9 o'clock in the evening, some guests left one after another, while the guests who lived in the manor that day stayed until around 10 o'clock.The Queen naturally went back to rest early. Princess Grace and her little friends went to the garden to play for a while before returning to the room. The rest were all energetic men, still continuing to communicate.
At 10:[-], Charlie accompanied Prince Will back to the room, and Shen Yan and Chris also went back to their rooms.When Gu Lei went back, he saw that Shen Yan had gone to install a camera, which refreshed his good impression of Shen Yan. Although he was not as professional as Long Yao, it was enough just to look for suspects.
All the people in the 9 rooms under surveillance came back, and there were three ladies among them. They started to take off their clothes as soon as they got back to the room. Gu Lei turned his eyes away in embarrassment.Long Yao, an old fritter, always watched the monitoring and made foolish music, and sometimes made obscene comments, but Shen Yan looked at it seriously. Gu Lei really didn't know whether to say he was a gentleman or a beast in clothes.
Charlie would definitely not contact at this time, and he would have to wait until the dead of night to act.Song Qi and the others expected to arrive before 2:[-] a.m., and they might be able to catch up before Charlie's action.
By 12 o'clock, the people in the nine rooms had already fallen asleep, and no one could be seen waiting for someone.Shen Yan handed over the monitoring to Gu Lei, and took a nap by himself.At 9:1, the phone rang, and Song Qi and the others had sneaked into the manor with the arrested people. After learning the location of Shen Yan's room, they came over one after another. The room suddenly became lively, but everyone was silent and talked. It was also very light, the person who was arrested was fainted by Song Qi's medicine, and his mouth was also sealed with tape.
"This is the person who tampered with the surveillance?" Shen Yan asked, "Did he see his face when you arrested him?"
"No," Ji Yuyang, who was arresting him, replied, "I've been wearing a blindfold for him all the time, and I'm talking to him through a mask, so he can't recognize us."
"Where's the music box?"
"Here." Long Yao took the things out of the bag and handed them to Shen Yan, "There are several gems inlaid on this thing, it looks quite expensive."
Song Qi said, "We won't send us to take action just because something expensive is stolen, there should be some mystery."
Mystery?Shen Yan carefully observed the music box. The box is not big, and it is made into the shape of a grand piano. When the lid on the top is opened, a dancing doll will stand up.There is a clockwork twist behind the piano, and when it is wound up, there will be a crisp music sound, and the doll will also rotate accordingly, and the few valuable gems that Long Yao said are set on the piano cover, and they are all in good condition The jewels and the music box are also exquisite in workmanship, and it looks like a handicraft of the age, but it is impossible to alarm the sea wolf if it is nothing more than that.
Shen Yan thought for a while, then handed the box to Ji Yuyang and said, "Remove it."
"Remove it?!" Song Qi was the first to object, "Wait for me, our task is just to bring back this music box, right? Now that the thing is in our hands, we just take it back. Why are you dismantling it?"
"Didn't you just say that the higher-ups won't let us sell something just because it's a bit expensive. We've also analyzed it before. There is a third party who wants to intervene in this matter. Now that third party has shown its prominence, we have to get rid of it." Find out why this thing caught the attention of Seawolves and that mysterious third party."
"Charlie just wanted to get revenge on Chris, so he blamed Chris for the theft of Norton Manor, but now it is known that he stole the music box because of the cooperation with that third party. He probably reached an agreement with the third party. After signing the agreement, the third party helped him get revenge on Chris, and he helped the third party steal the music box, so Charlie and Chris have nothing to do with the music box."
"And Mr. Norton's reaction before and after the music box was stolen told us that he might have been concerned about the music box being lost, and he also found out the suspect Chris, but he didn't pursue it later, as if this matter didn't exist. It shows that this music box is not of great value to him, and he will not take the risk of entanglement with members of the royal family to find a handicraft that is only so valuable."
"But the mysterious third party insisted on obtaining this music box, and Sea Wolf also sent us to find this music box. It can be said that the true value of this music box can only be reflected in the hands of a third party or us. But Now on the surface, this music box looks ordinary, so I can't figure out why the third party and the sea wolf must succeed."
"Our mission is to bring back the music box, but what we really want to bring back is the valuable part of the music box. Now we don't know where the value of the music box is, although the appearance of this thing is the same as the mission photo , but what if there are two identical music boxes? Or is this just Charlie’s copy of the real thing? Now we have to get back the real value of the box, not just an empty shell.”
It was rare for Shen Yan to patiently explain so much to him, but Song Qi didn't try to argue with him again. Thinking about it, Shen Yan was right, and when he was about to speak, Gu Lei said, "There is movement."
It was past 2 o'clock at night, and the mobile phone of the person living in the innermost room on the third floor rang under surveillance.He answered the phone and said angrily after a while, "No? Did you search carefully? Search the whole room!"
He didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone, he listened for a while and then said, "I see, you go back first, wait for me to contact you."
After hanging up the phone, the person snorted coldly, then dialed out the phone and said to the person on the other end, "Your Highness, my people have searched for the place you mentioned, but there is nothing."
It sounded like he was calling Charlie, and after something was said on the other end, he said, "Okay, come here then, you've got to explain this to me."
After hanging up the phone, the man didn't turn on the light, and went directly to the bathroom. When he came out, he was already dressed, sitting in the dark room with his mobile phone, wondering what he was thinking.
"This man is a businessman from the United States, named Franklin, who owns a hotel, and has opened several hotels in country B. Of course, these are the clues found in his luggage, and further investigation is needed." Shen Yan said, "It seems that they passed We will be moving soon, this room is at the bottom of the third floor, after this person goes out, you quietly throw the person you caught into his room."
Song Qi said, "Isn't this telling him that someone already knows his plan?"
"That's right, we just want to tell him that we've locked down the suspect now, so we won't be afraid to startle the enemy again. Instead, we need him to overreact to know what he's planning."
After a while, Franklin's cell phone rang again. After answering the call, he walked to the window and lifted the curtain to look out. The surveillance on the other side also showed that Charlie was walking by the fountain with his cell phone at this time. He glanced up, then went into the woods.
After Franklin went out, Gu Lei and Long Yao quietly got the unconscious man out.Gu Lei was in charge of moving people, Long Yao was in charge of unlocking, and he returned after throwing people in Franklin's room.Here, Franklin and Charlie also walked to the grove that Shen Yan had seen before, and stopped right next to the bench where the bug was installed, and the sound of their conversation came from the monitor.
"My people searched the music room all over and found nothing. Your Highness, you are not kidding me, are you?"
"How is it possible? Before I came here, I went to the music to confirm it. Now it is a holiday, and no one will go to school at all. I will never lose it there!"
"Did anyone see it when you put it down?"
"No, I was very careful at the time, no one would see it."
"...Then did anyone hear you when you called to give me the address?"
This person's mind is bright, and it was indeed Shen Yan who overheard Charlie's phone call.
"No way?" Charlie's voice hesitated, "I called in the bathroom at the time, but no one was there. And even if someone overheard, they wouldn't know what we were talking about."
Indeed, if someone came by at random, even if they stood by and listened to Charlie's phone call from beginning to end, they wouldn't know what they were talking about.But by coincidence, Shen Yan happened to be the person involved in the incident, so it was strange that he couldn't hear it.
After being silent for a while, the man thought of something again and asked, "Is there anyone related to Norton Manor who came to the banquet today?"
Shen Yan's heart skipped a beat, this person was really cautious, if he asked such a question, he would definitely be nominated by Charlie.
"The invitation was sent to Mr. Norton, but he clearly replied that he couldn't come to the banquet, and he didn't say that anyone would attend for him. As for whether Mr. Norton's invitation has been changed later, we need to confirm with the housekeeper. .”
The invitations for this banquet are not signed, and the invitations can be resold to other people, but the first batch of invitees are recorded, and it is also required to reply after receiving the invitation whether to come to the banquet, whether to bring a partner, if If I can't come, is there someone who came to the banquet instead, or whether the invitation has been passed on to others.The changed invitation will record the names of the guests who will hold the invitation again. Although there is no signature on the invitation, it will register every guest when entering the manor. If the name is not in the pre-stated guest list, the banquet will The staff will refuse the guest to enter.Just like Shen Yan and Gu Lei, as Chris's entourage, they registered in advance a few days before the banquet. Even if they entered the manor together with Chris, the staff also searched the name records on the guest list before letting them Enter the manor.Moreover, the people who can come to this banquet are all famous people. If someone impostor, they will be found out soon.
Charlie was silent for a while, and he really mentioned Shen Yan, "However, a guest said today that he had been to Norton Manor a few days ago." Then he told the information from the conversation with Shen Yan in the chess and card room.
"The Shen family in country C? I've heard of this. Last year, I wanted to enter the country C market, so I went to country C on purpose. This Shen family made a fortune in real estate, and it is said that the background is quite strong. The Shen family is on the European side. There are also some businesses, but they are not big. They have mainly entered the US market in the past two years. But I haven't heard that the Shen family has any business relationship with Norton, and even if there is, it should not be much."
The two argued again, but Franklin no longer suspected that Charlie had hidden things on purpose, and Charlie also promised him to go back to school to look for them himself as soon as he left the manor.Then Charlie asked about Chris again.
"You hate that cousin of yours so much?" Franklin's tone was somewhat disdainful, "It's such a trivial matter, and you still insist on revenge. I thought only Herman would do such a thing."
"He made me lose such a big man, and my father also restricted my financial resources. I was too impatient at the time, and I said that I gave away the collar buckle myself. Even if I got it back now, I still dare not be fair and honest. Take it out. Last time at Norton Manor, I wanted to use this incident to make him feel uncomfortable, but Mr. Norton even hired a private detective, but it turned out to be nothing."
Franklin said, "Norton is not stupid. Chris is a member of the royal family after all. He can't argue with the royal family for such a thing."
"Then what's your idea this time? I heard that Chris only plans to stay here for three days and will leave the afternoon of the day after tomorrow."
"Don't you just want to ruin his reputation? I observed it at the banquet today. There is an oriental boy next to your cousin, who is very close to him."
"That person is the Shen family I told you just now."
"I see Chris is very dependent on that oriental boy, how about letting them 'come out'?"
"You mean..."
"Isn't Chris the doormat of your family? Tomorrow, if you find a chance to give him some heat, he should run to talk to this oriental boy. I will find someone to follow them secretly. As long as they have any intimate contact, they will Take some borrowed photos and send them to the media, are you afraid that his reputation will not be bad?"
"That's good, but you are still a guest here, remember to keep a low profile."
"You can rest assured."
When they finished plotting and left, several people in the room looked at Shen Yan with strange eyes.Shen Yan was speechless, "Could it be that gay is written on my face?"
Song Qi said with a smile, "Although I didn't write it, but, tsk tsk, you're so small, it's good to stand with Chris, even if it's a good story, don't worry, we will support you."
"This kind of thing doesn't need support."
"Then what's the matter, the leader can climb into the royal family of B, and we will look good in the future! By the way, same-sex marriage is allowed in country B, right? If you marry Chris, you will be a princess, and this status will immediately It's different."
"Why don't you say you are the son-in-law of the bride?"
"The height determines the attack."
"Do you still know the technical term Gong Shou? It seems that Xu Ling has trained you well."
"It's none of his business!"
Song Qi was arguing with Shen Yan here, but Ji Yuyang, who was dismantling the music box, said seriously, "Xiaoyan, come and see this!"
The author has something to say:
At 10:[-], Charlie accompanied Prince Will back to the room, and Shen Yan and Chris also went back to their rooms.When Gu Lei went back, he saw that Shen Yan had gone to install a camera, which refreshed his good impression of Shen Yan.

"Here." Long Yao took the things out of the bag and handed them to Shen Yan, "There are several gems inlaid on this thing, it looks quite expensive."
Song Qi said, "We won't send us to take action just because something expensive is stolen, there should be some mystery."
