"That can't be helped. There were so many people there, and there might be professionals among them. If your acting is not good, you will be exposed immediately."
Lin Han shrugged and did not apologize. After all, he did the old man a great favor.
Otherwise, the old man would still be in a dilemma about how to pretend to be like him!
"Okay!" Dao Changqing sighed helplessly, then looked at the other two people beside him.
The two referees, Xu Wen and Haley, also came. After all, this matter was of great importance, and they had to find Dao Changqing to discuss countermeasures.
"What's the situation now?" Dao Changqing asked.
"I arbitrarily agreed to hold the competition in three days. Now that I think about it, I should have chosen a later time. After all, three days may not be enough for us to retrieve those things."
Xu Wen frowned and replied apologetically.
"Don't blame yourself. Three days is a long time. We can't keep delaying it just because an old man is sick. And three days should be enough time to transport some treasures from other places."
Dao Changqing didn't mean to blame him. If it were him, he would only choose three days.
After all, three days is neither too long nor too short, and is within the acceptable range for many people.
“Do we need to bring in stuff from somewhere else?”
Xiaoxiang was very surprised when she heard this.
But Lin Han didn't take it seriously because this was the correct way to deal with it.
"If we can't find the lost items, then if we want to hold the competition again, we can only transport them from other places. But do you still have enough resources?"
Lin Han looked at the three people in front of him with great suspicion.
To be honest, he didn't think they could come up with anything substantial enough.
The highlights will definitely be in this competition. After all, this is a world-class treasure appraisal competition, so it must be a grand event.
And they probably didn't expect something like this to happen in the first place, so they definitely didn't hide anything better.
Therefore, even if something is produced by then, it should be of mixed quality, barely presentable enough.
However, things like that would be too insignificant to be of any weight in this world's treasure appraisal competition.
"There's nothing we can do about it!" Dao Changqing sighed helplessly.
"In fact, many of those things were borrowed through connections. If we can't pay them back, we'll be in trouble. And now that we haven't said anything, it's naturally impossible to continue borrowing the same things."
There is another meaning behind Dao Changqing's words, which is that if they cannot pay for those things, the three of them will be ruined in the future.
"Alas~"
"Alas~"
Xu Wen and Haili also sighed and worried about their future.
"Then let's get it back! Give me permission. I want to take a look at your warehouse. Maybe I can find some clues."
Lin Han suggested.
Of course he would help if he encountered such a thing, after all, Dao Changqing was also their friend.
It's not his style to stand by and watch someone in need.
"Well! Before you came, I also thought about it. This matter cannot alarm others, so calling the police will be troublesome. It is better to call a private detective or for you to investigate privately."
"What do you think?"
Dao Changqing said and looked at Xu Wen and Haley beside him.
"I agree! They are your friends, and I trust them!"
"That's fine with me! We can only count on them now."
Neither of them had any objections. After all, they had no better idea. If they didn't choose Lin Han, they could only call the police and let more people know about it.
"Okay then! I'll go back and take a look first! To prevent the scene from being destroyed by someone with ulterior motives."
Lin Han stood up, patted Dao Changqing on the shoulder and left.
Qin Xiangcao and Xiaoxiang also followed.
"It was Gao Tieshan who did it, right? He disappeared when the accident happened, and he didn't show up at the end. It's obvious that he is involved!"
Qin Xiangcao speculated very confidently.
"It's possible." Lin Han nodded slightly. The biggest suspect now must be Gao Tieshan, but they have no evidence.
So he went back to find evidence, then capture Gao Tieshan and order him to hand over all the stolen things.
The three returned to the scene. There were not many people in the Colosseum now. Only the staff responsible for cleaning up the scene were picking up garbage everywhere.
They immediately came over to greet Lin Han and the others when they arrived, but they had already received instructions to obey Lin Han and the others, so they did not ask them any questions.
"Take me to the warehouse!" Lin Han said to a staff member.
"Please follow me!" The man nodded slightly, then turned and left.
Lin Han and the other two followed that man and came to the warehouse where they kept their valuables.
It was a large warehouse where things were stored separately. I heard that weapons from the Colosseum were stored here in the past for the barbarians to choose from.
Now that those useless weapons are gone, they are used to store valuable items.
There is no need to explain what the valuables are; they are treasures and antiques.
There are still many people guarding the warehouse, about twenty or thirty.
However, they may not understand why so many people are needed to guard a warehouse that does not contain any valuables.
But this was Lin Han's order. He didn't want anyone to have the chance to disrupt the scene and destroy any clues.
Lin Han walked into the warehouse and looked around, seeing only empty glass cabinets.
There were glass cabinets stacked in rows, hundreds of them, large and small, originally containing priceless treasures and fakes.
But now there is nothing in it.
Lin Han walked to a glass cabinet, gently opened the cover, and carefully inspected the base to see if there was any mechanism that could be hidden.
In magic, the magic of making a living person appear is to hide the person in a space, so that it is possible to disappear and move in front of everyone.
And if the criminal also took advantage of this principle and set up a mechanism at the base so that things would naturally fall into it, then he could make so many things disappear out of thin air.
But unfortunately, Lin Han did not find any mechanism.
But Lin Han did not give up and continued to check one by one.
The staff member on the side had a bitter face. After watching Lin Han doing useless work for a few minutes, he finally couldn't help it, sighed helplessly, and reminded:
"Mr. Lin, we have checked and there is nothing wrong with the cabinet. Moreover, even if something is hidden inside, the weight will not change, but this thing is very light."
"I know, I just wanted to confirm it myself."
Lin Han nodded slightly. He had heard the staff say this before in competitions.
But seeing is believing after all, and if he checks it himself, he will check it very carefully.
Of course, one could also think that he didn't trust others, and he didn't deny that.
