Chapter 3680 Miss Yujia disappears
Zi Ling's mother absolutely does not have the artistic talent to appreciate these so-called masterpieces.
Anyway, these paintings all look the same to her. After all, she has no idea whether they are real or fake. The painting industry is very complicated. She even has a replica of a world-famous painting hanging in her office... It looks exactly like the real thing.
"That's the president of the local Chinese Painting Association... He's a relatively famous new-style freehand painter in recent years! Yes, he was the one who cheated on his student a few years ago!"
Although she didn't recognize any of the paintings on the wall, Zi Ling's mother knew all about some of the people attending the meeting.
In Li Zi's opinion, Sister Ren's eyes are really powerful, almost comparable to ultra-high-definition lenses... This is probably the professional quality of a professional media person, right?
...Mm, the chocolate forest provided here is delicious!
"Haven't found it yet?"
"Sorry, we are already stepping up our search!"
"A bunch of trash!"
Two men who looked to be in their forties walked by, talking in low voices...Li Zi, who was holding a small silver fork in her mouth, twitched her ears slightly.
Because what she heard was the island language, and it was with a Kansai accent.
It seems that the organizer of this art exhibition is a company from the island country... Is something missing?
Li Zi blinked her eyes, and based on the principle that less trouble is worse than more, she immediately pulled Zi Ling's mother, who was still looking for a valuable target, away.
"Sister, there are a lot of people over there, let's go see what's going on!" She pointed at the crowd not far away and said quickly, "It looks very lively."
Zi Ling's mother didn't find any target of interest, so she just let Li Zi pull her along.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered the super-unpopular archaeology major that her son had insisted on signing up for, and she thought to herself and sent him a few photos of the scene.
——Come to the art exhibition today to improve your humanistic cultivation!
……
……
At the same time, in a lounge in the venue, Song Ying was meeting with several representatives from the Daidoji Group - but at this time, the people from the group looked a little anxious.
The female assistant was communicating with the other party. Both sides had translators, so there was actually no problem with communication.
"Miss, I have found out." The female assistant quickly returned to Song Ying's side and explained the situation, "The lady from the Daidoji Foundation is missing."
"Missing?" Song Ying frowned subconsciously, "Missing here?"
The female assistant nodded with a serious expression, "Yes, all of them are staying in our hotel. Everything was fine at first, but when the event was approaching, we found that the lady of the Daidoji family was not in the room and is currently out of contact."
"Go check the surveillance." Song Ying said coldly.
"Someone has been sent to investigate."
"Calm these people down." Song Ying nodded. "Also, the salon is about to start. Ask them whether they want to postpone or cancel it at the last minute. Don't keep the guests waiting."
"No need, Miss Song." A representative of the Daidoji Foundation came over and said in a fluent Mandarin accent, "This exhibition is very important. Please help us start it as scheduled. We will find someone to replace Miss Yujia for the opening speech."
Song Ying looked at the other party and nodded. "Since you insist, I have no problem on my side. I will also assist you in finding Miss Yujia as soon as possible. After all, she disappeared in the Song Dynasty, and we also have a responsibility."
"My name is Hideo Chida. I'll leave everything to Miss Song." The representative of the consortium bowed sincerely.
His attitude was very good, and he didn't even make a fuss because the person was missing in the hotel. His cautious attitude made Song Ying feel that the other party probably knew something.
She thought for a moment and said, "Would you consider reporting it to the police?"
"We have been considering this issue for a long time." Chida Hideo looked entangled. "If we still can't find it, we can only consider reporting it to the police and notifying the embassy. I hope it won't affect your hotel."
"My people checked the surveillance." Song Ying thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, if someone gets into an accident with me, our Song family will give you an explanation."
Chida Hideo nodded, "We naturally believe in the strength of Miss Song's family."
——Is it Chida Hideo who doesn’t want to make trouble?
——I thought of the Song family’s roots in Samba Country...Who knows how many thousands of guns the Song family has over there?
Moreover, according to reliable intelligence, the Song family seems to have the support of [Supernatural] behind the scenes.
At this time, a manager of the hotel knocked on the door and walked to Song Ying's side. He bent down and whispered something... Song Ying nodded, looked at Chida Hideo calmly and said, "Mr. Chida, the person who negotiated with you is here. What do you say?"
Chida Hideo said seriously: "This meeting is very important, Miss Song, please arrange for us to meet as soon as possible... I will explain the situation in person."
"Prepare a meeting room for them." Song Ying waved her hand and ordered.
……
As the deputy of the delegation, Hideo Chida contacted the government and also sent another man from the delegation to deliver a speech on his behalf so that the event could start on time.
Song Ying did not attend the meeting with Chida Hideo and others. According to Song Haoran's ideas, she only needed to do the reception work.
Instead, she brought people to the monitoring room.
"Miss, this is the surveillance footage of Miss Daidoji when she checked in. After she checked into the suite on the 69th floor, she never came out again. During that time, she only had her room serviced twice and ordered food in her room three times."
"How did the person disappear?" The female assistant frowned. "Can a work cart like this be used in the office to hide a person?"
"Of course not." The security chief said unhappily, "You know what we do, how could we leave such a potential safety hazard? All the carts are not covered, okay..."
The head of security is naturally an old man from the Song family's [village]. As the hotel in [Qilin City] is such an important industry, of course they have to use their own people.
"Are you the only one who's smart?" The female assistant glared at him unhappily.
The head of security shrugged and looked at Song Ying and said, "Miss, I actually investigated it right after the incident. This matter is indeed very strange. It is impossible for a living person to disappear quietly, and in Qilin City."
"Could someone have tampered with the surveillance?" Song Ying thought for a moment and said.
"Absolutely not. The monitoring room is such an important place, and all of them are our brothers." The head of the security guard said in a deep voice: "Who dares? I will send him back to the village to be punished immediately!"
"Be more civilized." Song Ying gave him a cold look.
"Really not." The head of security said quickly: "Miss, if you don't believe me, you can find a professional technician to analyze it frame by frame."
"Have you seen the room where Daidoji Yujia is staying?" Song Ying suddenly asked.
"I've seen it." The head of security looked helpless. "Unless she can turn into a rat and crawl away through the ventilation duct? Otherwise, she jumped from the 69th floor!"
Song Ying thought for a moment and said, "Find more people and ask around the hotel...Also, let's first tell the people at the Daidoji Foundation about what we have investigated so far. This is the only way for now."
She left the monitoring room and immediately called Song Haoran to explain the situation.
"…If he jumped from the 69th floor, is it possible that the person is still hiding in the room?" Song Haoran asked back immediately.
In front of the elevator door, Song Ying stopped and was about to press the button for the 69th floor when she was about to go to the event floor. "I'll go check it out... Don't hang up. Wait, what are you doing? Why are you panting?!"
"Is this called Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound?"
"You better be!!"
Soon, Miss Sakura and her female assistant arrived at the door of the suite on the 69th floor... The people from the Daidoji Group were not stupid, and they knew to leave someone guarding here, but he was a young man who didn't seem to have much experience and couldn't even speak Mandarin.
After the female assistant communicated with the young man, he reluctantly let the person in, but kept a close eye on him the whole time.
Song Ying turned on the video at this time and kept talking to Song Haoran while checking the room - in fact, the head of security had already come in to check once.
We didn’t find any useful clues this time... If there was a hidden mechanism in the room, how could the hotel not know about it?
"Has Miss Yujia always been alone here?" Song Ying suddenly asked the young man.
After translation.
"Our young lady doesn't like to have people around her, so she is used to being alone and will only call us when she has something to tell us."
Song Ying nodded, pinched her brows helplessly, and sat down directly on the sofa in the room. She looked at Song Haoran in the video and said unhappily, "Well, great detective, did you find anything? I don't see any problem anyway!"
"Do you really think I have golden eyes?" Song Haoran rolled his eyes, thought for a moment and said, "Did the hotel arrange for someone to clean the exterior walls these days? Did they send someone to check the rooftop? Are there any traces left behind?"
"No." Song Ying shook her head. "I've thought about all this... Could it be a supernatural event?"
Song Haoran said with a smile: "You're talking about [Qilin City] and its prestige is gone."
"It's so annoying!" Song Ying frowned, "Can I just ignore this matter?"
"Don't be impatient. You are a very smart girl. Calm down and think about it carefully." Song Haoran persuaded, "Do you think there is anything suspicious?"
"Don't think about it!" Song Ying rolled her eyes. "Why should I care about the affairs of a lady from an island consortium? Even if I find her, will I become prettier or live longer?"
Song Ying was basically in this state, not far from the runaway mode. Not to mention that Song Haoran was a thousand miles away from her at the moment, he would be helpless even if they were in person.
His uncle doesn't have any bloodline suppressing power at all.
"How about this, I will try to contact the person in charge of the government." Song Haoran pondered and said, "Leave this matter to Brother Xiong and the others. I will also take the initiative to contact the Dadao Temple Foundation. You just need to keep an eye on the venue today and make sure nothing unexpected happens."
Brother Xiong is the name of the security chief.
Song Ying was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath and said, "...Forget it, I'll continue to follow up and let you know if there is any news."
She just has a little temper, but she is not really unreasonable.
"Miss, something happened at the venue!"
"?"
……
……
"Don't come over here!! Otherwise... otherwise I will burn this painting! I'm serious! Don't come over here!!"
At the salon venue, people were alarmed. More than a dozen security guards from the Song Dynasty Hotel rushed in with sticks in hand and surrounded an exhibition area.
The security guards formed a circle, and outside of that were the guests who stopped to watch.
"That's the national treasure [Lakeside Retreat]! You better be careful, don't damage it!" An old man with a cane shouted in agony, "Put it down! Li Dongnan! What are you doing! Put the painting down quickly! You're crazy!!"
"do not come!"
I saw a panicked man holding up an ancient painting with a kerosene lighter in his hand. There was a pile of broken glass on the ground. A hostess who was supposed to be standing next to the ancient painting was curled up on the ground with a deep wound on her arm.
The etiquette lady seemed to be frightened and had already cried her eyes out.
"You guys are nothing! This painting is ours! Ours!" the man holding the painting hissed, "Why put it up for auction? Our things, why do we have to buy them ourselves!"
"Sir, you misunderstood! This is a charity auction, and we will donate all the proceeds to the museum in [Qilin City]!" The man who was temporarily speaking on behalf of the Daidoji Foundation hurriedly persuaded, "We came here with sincerity this time, please calm down, and don't harm this work of art no matter what!"
"Bullshit, you are so kind! Go away!" The man... Li Dongnan instantly moved the lighter closer.
There was a sudden burst of gasps and exclamations.
If the painting is damaged even a little bit, it will be an irreparable loss.
When Song Ying arrived, what she saw was this stalemate... Miss Ying, who was already having a headache over the inexplicable disappearance of Daidoji Yuga, felt like her head was about to explode.
Did she not check the almanac or tear up the almanac before going out today?
"What's going on?" Miss Sakura's voice was a little dry.
The manager of the venue said quickly: "The man seems to be called Li Dongnan, a famous painter in the city. He entered the venue with the Chinese Painting Association... But for some reason, he suddenly came up and snatched the painting, and then he became like this. It seems that he is... insane?"
"How do you do things?" Song Ying frowned immediately.
The venue manager was almost exhausted. "This... We have checks before entry, and we won't let anyone in without an invitation. Who knew this guy would suddenly..."
Song Ying waved her hand, signaling the other party to shut up, and turned to the female assistant and whispered, "Call Brother Xiong."
"Miss, I'm here!"
Then the security chief, Brother Xiong, pushed everyone away and walked quickly to Song Ying's side.
Song Ying nodded, covered her mouth and whispered into Xiong's ear, "How is it, are you sure?"
"Leave it to me." Brother Xiong nodded, and with a wave of his hand, the small knife with a red tassel slid directly from his sleeve into his palm, "If he dares to cause trouble here, I will destroy him!"
Song Ying frowned, "Don't hurt anyone!"
Brother Xiong was stunned for a moment, his murderous aura immediately subsided a little, and he nodded.
The palm swung out suddenly, and the red tassel flew directly into the air... There was no true energy or magic power, just pure wrist strength, and the skill was at the pinnacle!
Li Dongnan suddenly screamed, and the kerosene lighter in his hand fell to the ground, with a trace of blood on the back of his hand!
Taking advantage of this moment, Brother Xiong threw another wine glass directly, hitting Li Dongnan's head. The wine glass shattered and Li Dongnan instinctively covered his head and screamed.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding security guards rushed out together and pinned Li Dongnan to the ground in a few seconds.
"draw!"
The representative of the Daidoji Group rushed over at this time, picked up the ancient painting, and then he slumped down on the ground as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.
……
Click!
In the crowd, Zi Ling's mother instantly captured this scene. Everyone had different expressions, just like a ukiyo-e.
"It's worth coming here today!" Zi Ling's mother didn't hesitate to use up the memory in her camera. "However, Li Dongnan is also a well-known figure in the painting world. What happened today... I've never seen such a thing before!"
