Chapter 254: The Mystery of Earrings
Ms. Lu looked at Xia Lili with a puzzled look on her face: "What happened to you just now? It was like your soul left your body."
"It's okay, just a little hypoglycemia." Xia Lili shook her head.
"Ms. Lily, I'm going to go on stage and give a speech for this fashion dinner."
Ms. Lu instructed: "If you feel unwell, I will call the service staff for you."
Xia Lili quickly made way for Ms. Lu. "Don't bother you. I'll just take a pill."
She looked at Ms. Lu's back. It was now 7 o'clock in the evening, and there were still 4 and a half hours before Ms. Lu was killed.
Xia Lili first called the deputy director of security and asked him to arrange people to pay attention to Ms. Lu's movements and never let Ms. Lu be left alone or near terraces, railings and other places where she could easily fall to her death.
Although the deputy director didn't understand why Xia Lili gave such instructions, he just had to listen to the boss.
Their security team has now arrested several people who disrupted this fashion banquet. They were all led by Director Xia and nothing went wrong.
This time the hallucination was also strange, because when she was showing Ms. Lu the "Feng Qi Wutong" earrings and applying medicine to Ms. Lu, she looked at Ms. Lu many times, but no hallucinations occurred.
It was not until just now when Ms. Lu put on the earrings and was about to leave that the hallucination appeared in front of my eyes when I looked into her eyes.
Xia Lili couldn't help but recall the last time on Pei Qinyue's private plane, when she and neurosurgeon Dr. Fei had hallucinations when they looked at each other.
The hallucination occurred after the doctor made a phone call regarding the flight delay fee.
So, the variables that happened just before the hallucination were...
Ms. Lu changed into the pair of earrings with the pattern of "Phoenix Perching in Wutong"!
This pair of earrings brought fatal disaster to Ms. Lu.
Xia Lili was filled with doubts.
But why would a small incident of just changing a pair of earrings lead to Ms. Lu's death?
earrings......
Ms. Lu was killed at a dance party, and someone who was suspected to be an insider behind the scenes said, "It's the wrong person."
This sentence reveals two pieces of information.
The first is that drone attacks are not accidents, but are premeditated and targeted.
The second is that the murderer behind the scenes may have made a mistake in his target!
Their target was not Ms. Lu, but someone else.
Xia Lili pondered this discovery over and over again.
Why did the murderer mistake his assassination target?
At the masked ball, everyone wore wigs and all kinds of strange costumes, and their faces were covered with various masks.
The murderer wants to kill people at this masked banquet, so he can only identify his target by relying on clothing and accessories to locate his target.
Xia Lili thought that it was because Ms. Lu changed her earrings that she was murdered and became the target of accidental killing.
So, the killer who controlled the drone was using the masked guest's earrings to find his target?!
She had a bold guess in her mind that Ms. Lu and the person the murderer originally wanted to kill had the same style of earrings.
Therefore, the murderer used the surveillance camera on the drone to take a picture of Ms. Lu. When he noticed the conspicuous pair of Fengqi Wutong earrings on Ms. Lu's ears, he took Ms. Lu as his target and attacked her!
Xia Lili rushed out of the bathroom, found Pei Qinyue, and pulled Pei Qinyue aside.
Pei Qinyue became nervous when he saw Xia Lili's serious expression. "Master Xia, what bad news do you have for me?"
"I think your Pei family's ancestral tomb has been moved to the head of Tai Sui Ye."
Pei Qinyue scratched his head: "In our Pei family, burial at sea is popular. We don't have a grave!"
Xia Lili's tone was solemn. The number of hallucinations and other situations that occurred on the cruise ship this time was simply too frequent.
If it is not a natural disaster, then it is a man-made disaster.
"Why don't you call right now and ask your dad to find some Feng Shui masters to take a look."
"After this cruise, if I hadn't been here, your Pei family would have gone bankrupt. No, it might have been even worse than bankruptcy..."
Pei Qinyue froze in place and immediately grabbed Xia Lili's sleeve: "Master, what happened this time? You have to save me!"
Xia Lili looked directly into Pei Qinyue's amber pupils and lowered her voice a bit: "Let me ask you, among the guests at the banquet tonight, is there anyone else wearing the 'Phoenix Perched in the Wutong' earrings?"
Pei Qinyue's answer caught Xia Lili off guard.
"How could it be someone else?"
His eyes widened slightly, confusion written all over his face. "The Warriors series hasn't even been officially released yet!"
He subconsciously glanced around, making sure no one was paying attention. Then he leaned in close to Xia Lili's ear and explained, "The only ones who can get this series right now are our 43 top VIP clients. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind custom-made piece. I have detailed records of who each piece was given to."
Xia Lili frowned slightly. "Will someone wear a fake? Counterfeiting technology is so advanced these days that even glass can be used to create fake jewelry with beautiful sparkle."
"What a joke!"
Pei Qinyue couldn't help laughing, then lowered his voice again, "Do you think these guests with a net worth of hundreds of millions would wear fakes?"
"If they are recognized, how can they survive in the circle?"
He shook his head. "For them, valuable jewelry is just a small accessory. There's no need to wear imitations."
Seeing that Xia Lili was still worried, Pei Qinyue added, "Besides, the craftsmanship of the Wushuang series is impossible to imitate."
"Each step of our production is handled by a different team, and even the designer has never seen the complete design drawings."
"The vine-wrapping technique for the 'Phoenix Nestling in the Wutong Tree' alone uses three patented technologies."
But Xia Lili was very sure that there must be something wrong with the earrings.
Another guess came to mind.
"Are there any other earrings in your Wushuang series that look similar to Feng Qi Wu Tong?"
Pei Qinyue thought about it carefully and slapped his thigh. "They look similar... yes, there are some, but anyone with a discerning eye can tell the difference between the two pairs of jewelry at a glance and wouldn't confuse them at all."
Pei Qinyue pulled up a picture of a pair of ruby earrings on his phone. "This piece of jewelry is called Feiyu Liuguang. Other design details are similar to Fengqi Wutong, but the biggest difference is..."
"The Fengqi Wutong is inlaid with emerald gemstones, while the Feiyu Liuguang is inlaid with pigeon blood rubies."
“The gemstones are all different colors.”
Xia Lili was dumbfounded when she looked at the pictures on her phone. The gems had different gloss and colors, so there was no way to confuse them?
How did the assassin make such a mistake?
Forget it, let’s protect this guest wearing the “Fei Yu Liu Guang” first!
She urged Pei Qinyue, "Hurry up and check, who wore the Feiyu Liuguang at this fashion dinner?"
"This person is very likely to be in danger of being assassinated!"
