"This set of jewelry is specially lent to me by Denny in order to match my main show costume at this press conference. Can''t it be kept in the safe all the time?" Yin Xi smiles.
"In order to avoid accidents, Denny specially invited two security guards for this set of jewelry," Yin Xi said in a small voice after nuzui to a corner of the backstage, "people also carry guns, otherwise you think I would agree you to come to this conference so easily?"
Xiao Yao looks in the direction of Yin Xi''s nuzui and finds that there are two more men in jackets backstage. But after seeing them clearly, Xiao Yao was surprised and said, "are those two professional security personnel?"
Among the two men standing in the corner, the black man with gray hair and beard looked almost sixty years old. Another white man is a middle-aged man, but his open jacket shows a big belly, which is not much worse than a pregnant woman who is five or six months pregnant. From the appearance, these two are more like building managers than professional security personnel.
"I can''t help it," Yin Xi said with a wry smile. "There are a lot of big stars in New York Fashion week. Recently, New York''s private security business has gone up and up, and Denny is not very rich. For this press conference, he has spent almost all his savings, so he can only invite these two. However, the press conference rarely becomes the target of lawless elements. His invitation to these two people is just a facade and a deterrent. "
"Although it''s said that people can''t be judged by appearance, since they are used as appearances and deterrence, will these two have deterrence?" Xiao Yao shook his head.
After thinking about it, Xiao Yao took out his cell phone and made a call.
"Hi, Tim, it''s Yang. Do you remember me?" When the phone was connected, Xiao Yao immediately said with a smile.
"Of course, how could I forget you?" Tim haggis on the other end of the phone said with a smile.
"Great," Xiao Yao said happily. "Are you still in the New York branch? Are you working now? "
"I''m still in New York, of course. I''m not on duty now." Tim haggis said, "are you still in New York? I heard from the boss two days ago that you inquired about last year''s case. Do you want to find a bodyguard again? If it''s you, I''d like to work overtime, but only with the consent of the Bureau and the boss. "
"No, I''m not looking for you to be my bodyguard. I don''t need to!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "since you are not working, I would like to invite you to a fashion show. The address is in the emerald palace of the ninth street in the West District of central city. When you come, call me. I''ll take you in. It''s free! I''ll treat you to a drink after that. Last time you helped me a lot, and I left in a hurry. I haven''t really appreciated you. Would you like to give me this opportunity to express my gratitude to you? "
"You buy me a drink? You don''t seem to have reached the legal drinking age, do you? " Tim haggis said deliberately.
"Come on, are there few people under 21 who have drunk in the United States? Besides, I''m Chinese. We Chinese don''t have a legal drinking age. " Xiao Yao said, "I used to drink at Keith Craig''s house. If you''re worried, I can invite you to a restaurant or a hotel bar. I''ll buy you a drink, and I''ll have a non-alcoholic drink myself. "
"Well, I don''t care about drinking or anything, but I''m glad to see you again!" Tim haggis said with a smile, "I''ve given the address a few times. I''ll be there in about half an hour."
"The conference will start in ten minutes." Xiao Yao said, "but it doesn''t matter. When you get there, call me. I''ll pick you up. You can come in halfway."
"OK, I''ll see you then." Tim haggis said he was going to hang up.
"Wait a minute," Xiao said hurriedly, "you''d better take your badge and gun. You can carry these things with you even when you are not on duty, right?"
"Why take those with you to the press conference?" Tim haggis said suspiciously, "is there any danger? The boss said that ninety nine percent of Mary is not in the United States
"No, I''m not worried about Mary." Xiao Yao said, "it''s just that the model of the main show at this press conference is one of my sisters. She doesn''t believe that I have a friend of an FBI agent in the United States, so I want you to bring your badge and gun and prove it to her at that time."
"Haha," Tim haggis said with a laugh, "I''m still wondering why you suddenly called me to show off in front of others. Well, as you wish! "
"Thank you. See you later." With that, Xiao Yao hung up.
"Hey, hey, trick a free professional!" Xiao Yao complacently raises his mobile phone to Yin Xi.
"Professionals?" Yin Xi recalled the content of Xiao Yao''s phone call, and then responded, "do you still know people from the FBI?"
"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded, "it''s a pity I didn''t think of it, otherwise I could let him come with us to protect the whole process. But he''ll be here in half an hour, and it''s almost the time for you to wear this set of jewelry. I''ll be more at ease when he''s there. "
"You didn''t listen to me when I asked you to come back, but you helped me find bodyguards?" Yin Xi looks at Xiao Yaodao.
This set of jewelry is not Yin Xi''s, and if it is robbed, it is not Yin Xi''s responsibility. But the jewelry is worn on Yin Xi most of the time. If someone really wants to rob Yin Xi, it is very likely that when the jewelry is still on him, it will also cause certain damage to Yin Xi. Therefore, Xiao Yao''s intention to find an FBI agent is obvious."When your show is over, I''ll bring him backstage." Xiao Yao didn''t answer, changed the topic and said, "when the press conference is over, you return the jewelry to Denny, and then you go back to the hotel by yourself. I''ll have a drink with Tim, and then he will send me back to my hotel. Tim is an FBI agent with a gun. With him, you don''t have to worry about my safety, do you? "
"Ah ~" Yin Xi sighed, waved his hand and said, "whatever you say."
"Well, I''ll go to the bathroom." Xiao Yao touched his nose and ran away again.
Xiao Yao left the exhibition hall and followed the sign to the bathroom. In the corridor, he passed by a young white woman in a silver dress with long straight black hair. Suddenly, Xiao Yao felt like he had known her before. He immediately stopped and looked back.
Two people just brush and pass each other is to see each other''s face, if you are really acquaintances, even if you don''t think of it, you should subconsciously look back. But when Xiao Yao looked back, he found that the young woman didn''t look back as he did. He turned and walked into the Performance Hall of the press conference. Xiao Yao also regarded it as his own illusion, shook his head and laughed like self mockery, and continued to go to the bathroom.
When Xiao Yao comes back from the bathroom, the press conference is about to start. At this time, warm-up music was playing in the stereo at the press conference, and the audience had been allowed to enter for a long time, and the auditorium was almost full. Xiao Yao went backstage and looked at Yin Xi. When he found nothing unusual, he went to the auditorium in front of him and sat down.
The layout of this show is the same as that of most fashion shows. There is a T-stage for models in the middle, and the seats in the audience are arranged around the T-stage in the middle, which is very close. Xiao Yao''s seat is in the first row on the right side of the straight section of the t-platform, which is closest to the t-platform. Therefore, after Xiao Yao sits down, he can clearly see the faces of the audience in the front two rows on the opposite side of the t-platform. When Xiao Yao looked up, he found that the young woman he met in the corridor to the bathroom was sitting opposite him, also in the first row. But at this time she looked sideways, Xiao Yao can only see her side face.
Although it was just a side face, Xiao Yao felt familiar again. He raised his camera, pressed the shutter on the young woman opposite and photographed her side face.
The light on the scene of the press conference is relatively dark. In order to take a clear picture, you generally need to turn on the flash. When Xiao Yao took photos, he also turned on the flash. The young woman felt the flash on the opposite side and naturally turned her head to see Xiao Yao, who just lowered her hands holding the camera and showed her face.
The young woman obviously found that Xiao Yao didn''t intend to cover up the act of secretly taking photos, but there was no angry expression on her face. Instead, she showed her face and laughed at Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao also knows that the other party has found her behavior. He raises the camera on his hand and politely smiles back, but he remembers the smile that makes him feel more familiar.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this Daniel ault personal brand launch Before Xiao Yao could remember, the music in the live audio stopped and the voice of the host sounded like a narrator.
At the beginning of the press conference, Xiao Yao also paid a little attention to the entrance of the model.
The background music of the press conference sounded, and the models wearing the clothes to be displayed also appeared one after another and stepped onto the T-stage.
The audience sitting on both sides of the straight line of the T-stage are looking for the models walking on the T-stage, so with one model appearing on the catwalk, the audience in these two areas turn their heads from left to right or from right to left again and again. Every time Xiao Yao turns his head in this area, he can''t help looking at the young white woman in the audience opposite him. As he sees it more and more times, Xiao Yao''s sense of familiarity becomes more and more intense. However, he can''t remember when and where he met the woman, and who she is.
When the whole show lasted more than ten minutes, the background music in the audio system of the press conference changed, and there was a sound of the plane taking off. Xiao Yao had a flash in his head, and he almost jumped out of his seat. Xiao Yao finally wants to understand why he is familiar with the young woman. He finds that the woman is very similar to the woman who escaped in the hijacking case last year.
Although Xiao Yao still remembers the face of the robber, the female robber at that time had curly golden hair, while the woman opposite had long straight black hair. Compared with the face seen on the plane at that time, her eyebrows became more slender, her lips looked thicker, and her cheeks were slightly thinner, so Xiao Yao saw it for the first time I just feel familiar, but I can''t remember.
The color and straightness of her hair can be changed. The thickness of her eyebrows and lips can also be changed by makeup. She doesn''t even need to wear wigs and plastic surgery. She just changes these three places. In addition, the normal weight and thinness of her cheeks will change more than a year later, which can give people a completely different feeling.
If it wasn''t for the recent trouble caused by last year''s case, Xiao Yao unconsciously recalled the appearance of the female robber many times, and would not have a familiar feeling. After hearing the sound of the plane in the background music, Xiao Yao overlapped the two faces in his heart to make a comparison. Only then did he finally find that their face shape, eyes, nose, mouth, ears and other parts that are not easy to change are surprisingly consistent. Through his familiarity with the makeup effect, he changed the makeup of the woman''s eyebrows and lipstick, and changed the color of her hair It is likely that the woman is Mary, the robber who escaped from the plane robbery last year.There was no picture of the robber who escaped in that case at that time. The police wanted only a hand-painted picture of Xiao Yao, and she had disappeared for more than a year, so the public had long forgotten her image. The media hype gossip, not to help the police solve the case, so even if the case of last year was brought up again by the media reporters because of the recent exposure that Xiao Yao was the man who uniformed the plane robber, we are interested in Xiao Yao instead of the escaped female robber in that year''s case, and few media have released the wanted portrait of that year again .
Under the current situation, if the external image is really changed, it is not too inconceivable that the female robber Mary dares to appear in public. Therefore, when Xiao Yao finds that the young woman sitting opposite looks like the female robber Mary, he will look shocked and almost jump up.
See the opposite woman look over, Xiao Yao quickly put down the surprised expression on his face, turned to look at the model at the end of the T stage, at the same time also in the heart of the rapid calculation.
"If that woman is really the robber who escaped then, what''s the purpose of her appearing here?"
For yourself? Although more than a year has passed, as Yin Xi said, women are resilient, easy to get to the top, and have a strong sense of revenge, so it''s not impossible for her to appear here to revenge herself. But she is a woman. If she has no gun in her hand, she is not afraid of her. If you have a gun in your hand, it seems that just now in the corridor is the best mobile phone meeting. Now in such a crowded situation, it''s very easy for her to find a shield. As long as she can''t hit herself with the first shot, she can''t hurt herself again after the scene is chaotic.
"What if it wasn''t for you? That''s the money. "
Xiao Yao remembers hearing Alan Hale say that the female robber was a member of a robbery gang and had robbed jewelry stores and banks.
"But this is neither a jewelry shop nor a bank. Wait, jewelry!" Xiao Yao suddenly thought of the set of jewelry on Yin Xi''s dressing table, "jewelry worth eight million dollars, if you succeed, will be more cost-effective than robbing banks and ordinary jewelry stores!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Yao can no longer sit still, quietly got up and slipped out of the Performance Hall of the press conference.
Xiao Yao''s first reaction is to go backstage to find Yin Xi. In the end, the woman is the robber who escaped. Mary is only Xiao Yao''s suspicion and speculation. He has no substantial evidence. If you find that there is a female audience in the audience who looks like a robber and ask to interrupt the press conference and let Yin Xi leave immediately, neither Yin Xi nor Daniel ault will agree.
In the absence of a better way, Xiao Yao can only hope that Tim haggis will arrive as soon as possible, take Tim haggis into play and let him secretly watch the woman. In order to save time, Xiao Yao quietly left the exhibition hall and went to the gate to wait and meet Tim haggis.
On the way out of the performance hall to the gate of "Jade Palace", Xiao Yao takes out his mobile phone and is ready to call Alan hall. Although it''s just my own suspicion, it should be worth the police to investigate the woman. A report to Alan hall can also make Tim haggis''s behavior more justifiable after his arrival.
However, what makes Xiao Yao feel very strange is that when he takes out his mobile phone, he finds that there is no signal on it.
