As the organizer, Rat's arrangement was impeccable.

People ate and drank in the hall. Those who wanted to chat could do so. Those who wanted to relax could listen to the band playing classic music. Those who wanted to buy something could go to the auction room to negotiate the price.

Jian Jing was very concerned about the result of the auction and wanted to know who would get the item in the end, so she carefully paid attention to everyone's departure time.

With her sharpness and the high-tech watch that could never go wrong, the timeline she compiled was absolutely true and credible.

At 19:00, Rat explained the rules and the auction began. At

19:05, after the symbolic opening of the meal, Pig was the first to leave the hall because he could not sit still.

19:15, Tiger leaves.

19:20, Dog leaves.

19:27, Pig returns.

19:30, Tiger returns.

19:36, Dog returns.

19:40, Sheep asks the waiter where the restroom is and leaves.

19:50, Rooster and Monkey leave together.

19:52, Chou Niu leaves.

20:05, Rooster returns, Jian Jing asks her if she is going to make an offer.

Rooster replies: "Yes, I have discussed it with Lao Hou, I will make an offer, no matter what, I will do my best." Jian

Jing asks: "What about Monkey?"

Rooster: "He said he wants to see something else."

20:10, Sheep returns.

20:15, Horse leaves.

20:30, the Ox returns.

20:33, the Monkey returns.

20:40, the Tiger leaves.

21:00, the Horse returns and chats with Jian Jing.

Jian Jing asks, "You bid too?"

The Horse smiles and says, "I bid for someone else. It looks like someone is determined to win."

21:20, the Tiger returns.

21:30, the Snake leaves.

21:50, the Dragon leaves.

21:55, the Snake returns.

22:00, the Dragon returns.

The auction ends.

The Rat's secretary says, "Please take a break. The boss will notify everyone of the result in half an hour."

It's a very long thirty minutes.

Jian Jing did not participate in the bidding, she only cared about who could take the photo, and her mentality was very stable. Others were different, as if there were a group of scurrying little mice under their butts, and they could not sit still at all.

Everyone left for a while - the specific timeline will be described later - and then, at 22:30, everyone gathered in the lobby again, waiting for the result.

Rat was late.

The secretary was criticized by a group of guests: "Where is he? Didn't they say that he would be announced soon?"

"That's what the boss said." The secretary said, "I'll go ask."

She left in a hurry, and walked back quickly five minutes later, saying: "I knocked on the door, but the boss didn't answer. But the security guard said he hadn't left yet."

Jian Jing's eyelids twitched.

Haizhu lost his temper, like an enraged wild boar, and shouted loudly: "Are you done yet? The person is still in the room, right? I'll go and call him out."

He strode towards the auction room with great momentum, and people who didn't know would think he was going to duel with someone.

Jian Jing decided to follow him.

She had never been in here before, and only then did she realize that there was a toilet in the corridor leading from the lobby to the waiting room. After walking about ten meters, she arrived at the waiting room.

This was a small room that was artificially isolated. There were three sensor lights on the display screen, representing the occupancy of the three safes.

Now, the light in the middle room No. 2 was red.

She could only take the route to Room 1.

Coming out of the waiting room, she arrived at Room 1. All the surveillance cameras had been removed, and seamless safes had been erected around the collections to keep the collections securely stored.

Another sensor door was closed, not allowing her to go out. But the quality of the door was ordinary. Jian Jing broke the lock with force, revealing the passage behind.

She walked to the door of the auction room. Haizhu was banging on the door and scolding the secretary to open the door.

[System: New mission has been released]

[Mission name: Yacht secret room murder case]

[Content description: On a luxury yacht sailing on the sea, the organizer died mysteriously. Behind the priceless antiques, people are scheming. Please find out the truth of the case. ]

[Task reward: Success reward is 20 points of courage, failure means loss of one level of fame]

Jian Jing: "Oh."

She stepped forward and said to the secretary: "Bring the key."

The secretary said: "The door of the auction room does not have a key to open from the outside, it can only be locked from the inside."

She said "Oh" and said very calmly: "Then find me a saw."

The secretary was taken aback: "This, this is not good, right?"

"Mr. Rat looks a bit old, doesn't he have any problems like heart disease or high blood pressure?" Jian Jing made up an excuse familiarly.

The secretary immediately changed her words: "I know."

She went to find a saw. Meanwhile, other guests arrived at the door one after another and asked: "What happened?"

Jian Jing scanned everyone's face and was sure that all eleven guests were present: "Maybe he had a seizure."

Five minutes later, the secretary and the crew hurried over. There was no saw, but there were professional lock-picking equipment. The crew used the tools to quickly fix the lock core and opened the door of the auction room.

What came into view was an antique screen, which strictly blocked everyone's view. Behind the screen, the Rat was lying on his back on the ground with a dagger stuck in his chest.

He was dead.

Jian Jing heard the Sheep gasp clearly: "What's going on?"

"He was killed," Jian Jing said, grabbing Haizhu by the collar. The strong man tried to break away from her, but failed and almost fell.

"What are you doing?" he asked angrily.

"Protect the scene, and no one is allowed to move forward." Jian Jing was so skilled that she had already developed muscle memory, and she arranged in an orderly manner, "Miss Secretary, please call the police and then notify the yacht to return."

"Please wait a moment." Yin Hu interrupted her politely but abruptly, "What is the result of the secret auction?" Jian Jing

said, "You ask me, I don't know."

Yin Hu immediately said, "I suggest solving the auction problem first."

She asked, "How do you say it?"

"The buyers and sellers participating in the transaction are all members of the club." Yin Hu said, "Miss Secretary, do you know who the seller of the anonymous transaction is? How to deal with the three collections?"

The secretary answered blankly, "I don't know." She explained, "These are all arranged by the boss himself, we just need to listen to his instructions."

"The safe has been locked, right?" Chou Niu also joined the conversation, his eyes sparkling, "Can you open it?"

The secretary shook her head.

"Let someone who can make the decision come." Shen Hou said impatiently, "If you can't make the decision, who can?"

The secretary said, "I can contact Mr. Gu, he is the boss's agent."

"Hurry up."

Taking this opportunity, Jian Jing asked Shen Hou for confirmation: "The seller must be a member?"

"Of course, the club will not accept outside commissions." He said.

She asked again: "Is he here?"

"That's not certain, but I think even if he doesn't come, such a precious collection is here, and he should find a client to represent him." The old woman Youji said, "This person is among us."

Wu Ma was concerned about another question: "I'm curious, who killed the Rat? Why did they kill him?"

"Auction." Sishe spoke slowly, "Someone was not satisfied with the result of the secret auction, ahem, killing the Rat and disrupting the transaction is, ahem, the easiest way."

Jian Jing couldn't help but glance at him.

She was not familiar with Sishe. This person had no sense of existence. He was a tall and thin ordinary man with a slightly pale face. He seemed to have asthma, but she had never seen him sick.

"Are you sick?" she asked deliberately.

Sishesha said hoarsely, "I have a sore throat. Sorry." He coughed again.

About fifteen minutes later, the secretary came in for the Nth time, breathlessly announcing, "Mr. Gu has something to say to everyone."

She opened the laptop in her arms, revealing the video call interface. On the other end, there was a scene of a man in a shirt in his home office.

"I am Mr. Zishu's agent. According to the power of attorney signed by him, I can handle all matters on his behalf if he is unable to act."

Mr. Gu presented a letter of authorization and said in a calm tone: "The situation on the yacht is very special now. I will rush to the yacht immediately. Before that, Miss Tina can handle ordinary matters on the yacht."

Miss Tina reminded: "The guests hope to deal with the problem of secret photography."

"I know, I will explain this matter next." Mr. Gu spoke forcefully, "First of all, I regret to tell you that I am not a member of the antique club. Mr. Zishu has fully fulfilled his obligations and has not introduced the participants to me. I don’t know who the seller of the three anonymous collections is." Everyone

exclaimed, their eyes were mixed.

He made a "calm down" gesture and continued, "However, the seller has two copies of the power of attorney. When I arrive, as long as you give me the power of attorney for inspection, I will be responsible for returning the collection. I know the password to the safe, please rest assured."

After a pause, his expression became serious: "But I don't think the most important thing is this - Mr. Rat was murdered. Considering the closed environment of the yacht, the murderer is obviously still on the boat. For the safety of everyone and to give an explanation to my employer, I hope Everyone can cooperate with the investigation and find out the truth as soon as possible. "

The foreign noblewoman, codenamed Xu Gou, interrupted him and said in English: "The Chinese police are not qualified to investigate this matter. This is the high seas! I ask to contact the lawyer and the embassy."

Mr. Gu replied coldly: "The yacht is registered in China. I think they are qualified to intervene in the case that happened here. However, considering the foreign status of everyone, I have a suggestion. Please ask the people on the boat to conduct the investigation in a neutral capacity."

Ugly Bull said: "Who on the boat is not a suspect?"

"There are no surveillance cameras in the safe, auction room, and waiting room, but there are surveillance cameras in the hall where you are gathering," said Mr. Gu. "I have checked the video, and between 7 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., there was a person who never left the hall. I don't think she has any suspicion of murder - am I right, Miss Maotu?"

Jian Jing said slowly: "Yes."

"Are you willing to accept my commission to investigate the murder of my employer?" he asked.

Jian Jing said, "Of course, I'm happy to."

Mr. Gu said, "That's it, Miss Tina, please cooperate with Miss Maotu's investigation and contact me at any time. I will fly to the scene the day after tomorrow to handle the follow-up matters."

Miss Tina breathed a sigh of relief and regained her shrewdness and efficiency: "No problem."

"Okay, you go and confirm the safe immediately and arrange for someone to be on duty, 24 hours a day." Mr. Gu considered it very carefully, "We can't let any accidents happen to the collection."

Tina: "Yes."

Mr. Gu looked at Jian Jing, and his stern expression revealed a hint of unpredictable meaning: "See you then."
