Chapter 124 A sudden change!
The police took the man to the hospital for a full-body scan. After the scan was complete, the police called to report, "Captain Li, everything's fine. We've scanned every inch of our body, even every hair, and there's nothing abnormal."
"I'm not Captain Li, just call me by my name. My name is Li Ran."
Li Ran sat on the swivel chair, holding the jewel ring in his hand and looking at it.
The blue gem egg-shaped surface is very large and very valuable. Li Ran is not sure whether he will lose money after cutting it open.
Although she is not short of money, she will not pay a penny that is not her responsibility.
"Sister, we are here."
The Gu brothers called her. Li Ran stood up and hurried to the door of the Lin residence to greet them. "Fourth brother, seventh brother, thirteenth brother, why are you here?"
Gu Yanchu stepped forward and looked at her carefully. Seeing that she was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We went to the beach to look for you. Halfway there, we received a call saying that you had arrived at the Lin residence, so we came from the beach. Oh, by the way, Zhou Chenshen was there too."
"Okay, Seventh Brother, I understand. So why are you here to see me?"
"Second Grandpa has been thinking about you since the birthday party is not over yet. Let's wait for you to finish your work and then leave together. Second Grandpa is still waiting for you in Guyuan." Gu Dali said hurriedly. He is his sister's thirteenth brother and also wants to talk to his sister.
"Sister, don't pay attention to them. You have something to do first, we'll just wait outside."
Gu Lingrui spoke up and said that only someone like his sister would have a friend like Bai Niao... Actually, she is quite amazing.
"No need to wait for me, Fourth Brother. I just need your help with something. You work in an auction house, so you must have a good eye. Fourth Brother, please help me take a look at this gem ring. How much is it worth? And by the way, please help me take a look inside the gem to see if there are any other problems."
Li Ran was just worrying about how to resolve this matter when his fourth brother came over. He directly handed all the jewelry he had taken from Zhang Fengzhi to Gu Ruichu, then turned around and instructed Jiang Fei, "You go with my fourth brother. Take photos and videos throughout the process and keep a close eye on it. It's not that I don't trust my fourth brother, but the authorities require the most transparent process."
"Don't worry, Sister Ran, I'll go with Mr. Gu to check it out."
After seeing off his brothers, Li Ran turned around and returned to the Lin residence. Ye Cishan whispered, "Li Ran, we found a secret room in the backyard."
Li Ran stopped and asked: "Didn't you find it during the previous search?"
"No. They probably overlooked it."
"Can the darkroom be opened?" Li Ran asked, turning around and walking towards the backyard. Ye Cishan followed closely, feeling uneasy.
"The darkroom is located in a utility room in the backyard. There's a painting hanging on the wall. We just felt there was something wrong with the way it was hung, so we reached out and took it down. When we took it down, we discovered there was an inconspicuous mechanism behind it. I didn't dare open it, so I went out to call you."
Ye Cishan was explaining the whole story when Li Ran arrived at the backyard. "You're better than Bai Shaoli. He's always doubted me, but even if you did, you never showed it on your face."
Ye Cishan was helpless: "I believe in Captain Zhou, I believe in Director Tan, I believe in Commander Gu. Why shouldn't I approve of someone they all approve of?"
Li Ran nodded: "You are very good."
The two entered the utility room, where there were police officers guarding the room: "Captain Li, Captain Ye..."
Both of them: ...
Okay, okay, we’re all in team.
Okay, call me whatever you want.
"Has anyone been here since Captain Ye left and came back?" Li Ran asked. There was a clear white patch on the wall, which clearly separated it from the walls of the entire utility room. This was where the wall hanging was.
Li Ran stepped forward, raised his hand and tapped the wall lightly, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
"Quiet!"
She suddenly spoke, her ear close to the wall. Ye Cishan and the police officer were originally talking, but now they turned around and looked over.
"Tick, tick, tick..."
It was like the sound of a clock ticking, steady and peaceful, but after a moment, it suddenly turned into an extremely rapid "tick-tick" sound, like the sudden arrival of spring rain.
"There's a bomb!"
Li Ran stepped back, turned around, grabbed the police officer by the collar and threw him out.
Ye Cishan jumped out the door.
In the blink of an eye, Li Ran was a step slower in rescuing the police officer.
boom!
