After thinking for a while, Feng Yan said: "You should be very clear about one thing. There is a high probability that the gem was not stolen today. It is very likely that it was stolen last night."
Fike, who had been silent, said: "Theoretically speaking, tourists flocked to the Heart of Fire exhibition hall as soon as it opened. As soon as they entered, they found that the gem was missing, so it can be concluded that the gem was lost at night."
Lesser frowned and said: "But we have already conducted a very careful search of those dozen security guards. They are also a temporary team. When patrolling, they are in groups of three or five, and they are all very upright people. The person is unlikely to be a thief.”
Feng Yan: "But the current clues point to the fact that the gem was lost at night. They are suspicious. Is it possible that there is only one suspect? At night, he took the opportunity to go to the toilet alone, and then looked for opportunities to steal the Flame Stone. heart and then hid it?
In fact, the gem is still hidden in the museum, but the hiding place is relatively hidden. You didn't notice it. The thief wanted to wait until the news passed before entering the museum and taking away the Heart of Fire?
After all, this museum is so big, it is not difficult to hide a gem the size of a fist. "
Lesser denied again: "This is also unlikely. We have already invited a team of search experts to search. No gems were found in every corner, and there was no trace of hidden compartments or anything like that."
Through Lesser's repeated denials, Feng Yan finally confirmed that there must be no thief among the dozen security guards.
The reason is the same. Feng Yan has already given a very reasonable basis, but Lesser's inference is completely untenable. However, he is still protecting the security guards who have never met him, and he is the guide NPC, so there is a high probability that he will not It may be that they are colluding with the security guards to protect them. If that is the case, this little puzzle is too complicated and does not fit the idea of needing to solve the puzzle as quickly as possible.
Judging from the plot that there were more than 200 people at the scene, including many dignitaries who were trapped for more than 3 hours, it was an obvious reminder that Feng Yan needed to find the thief quickly.
Therefore, Lesser's repeated denials are an obvious hint from the system: the thief is really not a security guard, and there is no need to waste time thinking about it.
Feng Yan secretly thought in his heart, if the security guards were not watching over the thief, then the thief must be among the more than 200 people. But as soon as the door opened in the morning, those tourists came to the Heart of Flame exhibition hall. As a result, as soon as the door opened, the gems were gone. They couldn't be thieves, so where did the gem go?
It’s impossible to grow your legs and run away on your own.
Feng Yan couldn't figure it out for the time being, so he said to Lesser: "Take me around the museum first. I'll take a look at the scale of this place and look for clues."
Lesser led Feng Yan and Fike and started walking around the museum. Not to mention, this museum is really huge. It is not an exaggeration to need more than a dozen security guards to patrol, because not only is the heart of flame valuable, but also the things inside Although the other exhibits are not said to be priceless, at least they are rare items. Although most of them are large and cannot be moved even if thieves come in, at least four or five security guards are still required to patrol the exhibits in case a thief comes in. Finally, if any ancient items are damaged, it will definitely be a huge loss.
"It's such a huge museum. After just a few hours, what kind of search experts are sure that the gems won't be hidden here?"
Feng Yan said half-jokingly, feeling somewhat amused by the system's far-fetched suggestion. It takes only a few hours to confirm that there is no gem in the museum. It’s really a rush to put it on the shelves.
Lesser seemed to be impatient with the explanation, and he said unhappily: "Detective Yanfeng, please stop questioning the ability and strength of our experts, and please stop doubting the security guards. I swear in the name of God, There's no way they could just keep it to themselves."
Feng Yan shrugged and said, "Okay, so the only possibility now is that a thief entered the museum at night without anyone noticing, stole the gems, and then left without anyone noticing?"
After hearing this, Lesser shook his head helplessly and said: "Based on all the clues so far, it cannot be theft by the guards, nor can it be stolen by the group of tourists who just came in this morning. Then the only possibility is the one you mentioned."
Randomly, he said categorically: "But I still want to assure you that there are security guards patrolling inside and our police outside using iron barrels to surround the museum. Unless the thief is invisible, otherwise even if He can fly and will be seen by our people.
Please stop saying stupid things like our entire police force and security guards are collaborating to steal the Heart of Fire. That would involve forty or fifty people. You might as well say that our entire city's police force is colluding. "
Feng Yan smiled and said, "Of course not, I'm kidding you."
Looking at the museum that was almost connected in all directions, sparks suddenly flashed in Feng Yan's mind. He said to Lesser: "Chief Lieutenant Lesser, I have a question for the curator. I wonder where he is now?"
Lesser pointed in a direction and said: "The curator is in that direction, follow me."
After arriving at the director's location, after a brief exchange of greetings, Feng Yan asked: "Hello, director, I just visited the entire museum accompanied by Sheriff Lesser, although we just took a casual look at every place. , but it still took dozens of minutes, and then I was thinking about a question.
Our museum is so big and has many cultural relics, so there are quite a few people who come to visit it, right? "
The curator was an old man with a white beard. At this time, he was sweating anxiously because of the loss of the Heart of Fire. He wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, and tried to answer calmly: "Yes, our museum is famous all over the continent. It is very famous, and you know this. There are usually a lot of people who come to visit. The average number of tourists every day is around 100. However, after the arrival of the Flame Heart for a few days, the number of visitors surged to two or three. Hundreds of people."
Feng Yan nodded and said: "I just saw that there are many kinds of exhibits in the museum, which means that after visitors come here, they can see many exhibits. So I would like to ask, although the Heart of Flame has come to the museum in the past two days, it should also be Not all tourists will rush into the Heart of Flame exhibition hall as soon as they open the door. I mean, some people will find it too crowded and look at other exhibits first, and then go to the Heart of Flame, right?"
The curator nodded affirmatively and said: "Of course, although the Heart of Flame is precious, there are too many people to see it, and you need to queue up when entering the exhibition hall. Just like yesterday, many people wanted to see the Heart of Flame as soon as they came in. It's beautiful, but because there were too many people, we had to let tourists line up to watch.
Some tourists think there are too many people queuing up, so they go to other exhibition halls to see other exhibits. Anyway, once the exhibition hall opens, it won’t start clearing out until 5pm. There is plenty of time, so there is definitely a chance to see the Heart of Flame. No. Everyone must line up. "
After hearing this, Feng Yan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Then it was the same this morning?"
The curator replied affirmatively again: "Yes, I stood at the door as soon as the museum opened this morning. I saw many people hurriedly ran towards the exhibition hall of the Heart of Flame, wanting to take a first look, but some came in later. The tourists walked calmly towards other exhibition halls. They definitely wanted to see the Heart of Flame, but they just didn't want to queue up, so they went to other exhibition halls to see the exhibits first.
However, after the door of the Flame Heart exhibition hall was opened, it was discovered that the gems were missing, and these people were invited by the police to stay in the Flame Heart exhibition hall temporarily. "
Feng Yan nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and confirmed with Lesser again: "All the tourists are in the exhibition hall of the Flame Heart, right? There won't be any fish that slipped through the net, right?"
"It's all inside, no one is leaving, and there's no tourist coming in who's not inside," Lesser said.
Feng Yan snapped his fingers and walked towards the Heart of Flame exhibition hall and said, "Let's go to the Heart of Flame exhibition hall. I'm already confident that I can find the thief without searching him."
