Chapter 224 Di Xiaoyun Takes Action

"Gone?"

Gu Dasheng turned around in surprise, and sure enough, the display case that had originally contained the luminous pearl was now empty.

For a moment, everyone present looked at each other in dismay, and many of them showed expressions of fear.

The luminous pearl vanished without a trace right before everyone's eyes—it's too bizarre!

"My luminous pearl!"

Gu Dasheng was devastated, his cries were heart-wrenching, and his legs went weak, almost causing him to collapse to the ground.

Fortunately, Song Xu, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and caught him.

"Dad!" Gu Xinyan squeezed through the crowd and helped Gu Dasheng up on the other side.

"how so!"

Su Ruowei frowned and squeezed through the crowd to come to Gu Xinyan's side to help her support Gu Dasheng.

Discussions gradually arose from the crowd.

Lin Fan held his breath and quickly scanned the facial expressions of everyone present.

Everyone present could be the murderer!

Just then, Di Xiaoyun came out.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

She pulled out her identification and showed it to everyone: "I am Di Xiaoyun from the police station!"

With that, she waved for the door to close: "The luminous pearl has vanished in such a short time; the thief must still be among the crowd!"

"Please cooperate with me. Men and women will be in two separate lines as we conduct body searches!"

Upon hearing this, all the bosses cast disapproving glances at Di Xiaoyun.

There are only two types of people here: one is the entrepreneurs from the mountain city, most of whom are arrogant and only come for the jewelry exhibition.

Another reason is to attend the partner recruitment meeting in the afternoon. Of course, there are also entrepreneurs participating, but most of them are ordinary people from the mountain city, mainly white-collar workers.

"Body search? What right do you have to search us?"

“We are all elites in Shancheng City, how could we possibly do such petty theft!”

Dong Tianjiao suddenly stood up and pointed at the ordinary people who had come to participate in the recruitment meeting, saying:

"If you want to search them, just search them. Someone is definitely using the recruitment event as a pretext to steal!"

Ignoring Dong Tianjiao's rhetoric, Di Xiaoyun said righteously, "Why are you so agitated? Could it be that you did it?"

Lin Fan glanced at Dong Tianjiao. Maybe it really was Dong Tianjiao who did it. She was the one who made us see it a second time, and she was also the one who led the way in squeezing in earlier.

However, Lin Fan didn't want to cause trouble, so he just watched quietly from the sidelines.

Dong Tianjiao hesitated, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Seeing this, Di Xiaoyun looked around at the crowd and said, "If anyone has any opinions, please raise them. You can also suggest better solutions!"

He commanded respect without anger, and no one answered.

The bosses all looked frustrated, but none of them dared to go against Di Xiaoyun.

They all knew Di Xiaoyun's identity; she was the biological daughter of Di Zhengdao, the police chief of Shancheng City.

A body search would just leave people stranded, and everyone would be searched; it wasn't an isolated incident. It wouldn't be worth offending Di Xiaoyun just because you're afraid of losing face.

Before long, Di Xiaoyun called over several colleagues and separated everyone present into two sides of the venue according to gender.

The entire body search lasted a full hour, and the level of detail was almost to the point of taking off their clothes.

After the body search was completed, the officers met in the center of the venue.

They all frowned, their expressions filled with suspicion, especially Di Xiaoyun, whose delicate eyebrows were almost knitted together.

Di Xiaoyun was incredulous and kept shaking her head: "Impossible, how could we not find it?"

The people who had been searched gradually gathered in the center of the hall. A group of bosses looked aggrieved, as if they had just been subjected to some inhumane treatment.

Dong Tianjiao showed no mercy, pointing at Di Xiaoyun and sarcastically saying, "Miss Di, we've finished playing house with you, can we leave now?"

She then said to Gu Dasheng, "Mr. Gu, I advise you to report this to the police and let a proper police officer handle it."

"I sympathize with your situation. How about this: on behalf of the Dong Group, I'll sign a jewelry order with you, and I'll take half of the jewelry present here!"

"And along with the display cases, I plan to set up a private jewelry collection exhibition hall."

Gu Dasheng sighed, "Mr. Dong, you're too kind. Thank you in advance."

Di Xiaoyun kept her lips tightly closed and didn't say a word. The two sarcastic remarks about playing house and finding a normal police officer clearly had a significant impact on her mentality.

Lin Fan noticed Di Xiaoyun's state and saw a hint of grievance on her face.

I thought Di Xiaoyun was a tough woman, but I didn't expect her to have a vulnerable side.

Despite this, Lin Fan was powerless to do anything, because he hadn't noticed when the luminous pearl disappeared.

"You should leave!" Di Xiaoyun called out reluctantly.

Dong Tianjiao smiled and pointed to the gold display case, saying to Gu Dasheng, "Mr. Gu, this gold display case is quite beautiful. I wonder if you could sell it to me as well?"

"Take it if you want. What's the use of an empty display case now that the luminous pearl is gone?" Gu Dasheng lamented.

The theft of the luminous pearl was a huge blow to Gu Dasheng. He was in high spirits before the exhibition started, but now he looks haggard.

Gu Xinyan supported Gu Dasheng and advised, "Dad, we will definitely find the luminous pearl. The Shancheng Group will not let him get away with stealing things on their territory!"

After speaking, Gu Xinyan glanced at Lin Fan, her eyes filled with a pleading look.

"The Shancheng Group will definitely not let the thief get away with this," Dong Tianjiao echoed, as she selected the jewelry she wanted to buy.

She then waved to her bodyguards, signaling them to carry the gold display case away as well.

Lin Fan subconsciously looked at the golden display case, and suddenly remembered the book "Magic Brain" that he had read in the coffee shop yesterday.

"Could it be like this?" Lin Fan pondered, then jogged over to the golden display case and began to observe it carefully.

The book "Magic Brain" mentions that there are only three ways to make an object disappear.

First, the object remains in its original position, but it is now blurred in the field of vision through some means.

This can be achieved by using some coverings, or by using some methods to change the perspective so that the object is not seen.

Second, the object is moved from the field of vision.

This can be achieved either by making it disappear completely with a swift action or by using some form of concealment.

Third, the object may never have appeared in the first place, but some methods are used to convince the viewer that it is indeed there.

Dong Tianjiao noticed Lin Fan's actions and quickly shouted, "What are you doing! I've already bought that display case!"

"Hahaha!" Lin Fan suddenly laughed, then turned to look at Dong Tianjiao: "Are you sure you want to buy this display case?"

Dong Tianjiao paused for a second: "What? What do you mean by that!"

"I don't think we need the Mountain City Group to get involved, but calling the police is necessary."

Lin Fan looked at Di Xiaoyun: "Officer Di, your guess is correct, the luminous pearl did not leave the hall."
