Xu Mo, who was willing to risk danger just to go to the restroom to retrieve his phone, had just left. His phone was certainly not left in the toilet. Pretending that his phone was lost and escaping from the evacuating crowd was simply because Xu Mo had learned some information from the conversation between the four people.
He had heard the conversation between the four people loud and clear.
Especially Wang Hao's line: "Did you forget where the real gem is?"
When he heard this sentence, Xu Mo suddenly felt very unwell.
Damn, it looks like he's been cheated!
He immediately staged an act, pretending that he had lost his phone, and used this excuse to leave the evacuating crowd.
Based on the literal meaning of Wang Hao's words, it could be understood that there were two gems, one real and one fake.
Plus, judging by the tone he used when he said this, the real gem should be hidden in a very concealed or very safe place.
At least the four of them were convinced that Xu Mo would not have the ability to steal the real gem that was hidden.
As for the fake gem, Xu Mo guessed that it was likely the one in the display case that he had just stolen in the dark.
Taking the gem that he had just obtained from the system space and weighing it in his hand, Xu Mo licked his lips with a very gloomy expression: "I worked so hard to steal a fake one?"
It was impossible not to feel angry.
What was the point of putting a fake gem in the display case?
Were they messing with him?
This was simply bullying an honest man!
"This one is fake... so where is the real one hidden?" Xu Mo murmured to himself.
At this time, all the people in the exhibition hall had evacuated.
The entire exhibition hall was left with only Xu Mo.
Under such circumstances, he could move around freely.
Xu Mo stroked his chin and pondered.
It wasn't difficult to infer from Wang Hao's words and the attitudes of the other three that the real gem must be hidden in an extremely concealed place.
Xu Mo first ruled out the exhibition hall.
One reason was that the exhibition hall had too much foot traffic, so hiding the real gem here would be too risky. Who knows if some lucky bastard might pick it up.
Secondly, he had also carefully observed the exhibition hall. Apart from the bulletproof glass display cases, there was nowhere else to hide anything.
"Bathroom? Electrical room? Pantry? Security rest area? Surveillance room?" Xu Mo went through all the places he could think of in his mind.
But just thinking about it was useless. He still had to go check them out.
Xu Mo first went to the bathroom.
The only place that could hide anything here was the water tank.
He opened up each of the water tanks one by one, but did not find the gem.
The gem was not here.
The bathroom could also be ruled out.
After leaving the men's room, the sight of the women's room next to it caught his eye.
"Uh... looks like the bathroom can't be completely ruled out yet," Xu Mo scratched his head.
He had checked the water tanks in the men's room, but not the women's.
Xu Mo wondered if there was a possibility... that the gem was hidden in the women's toilet water tank!?
In the spirit of being rigorous, Xu Mo decided to go in and take a look.
Of course, he didn't choose to just recklessly barge right in.
Instead, he first yelled out loudly.
"Is anyone in there?"
After waiting a few seconds without anyone responding,
"Okay, I'm coming in now!"
Come to think of it, this was his first time going into a women's toilet.
It was a bit thrilling, and also a bit curious.
Opening the door of one of the stalls and lifting the toilet tank lid to check, there was no gem.
Subsequently, Xu Mo checked the water tanks in each stall one by one, still not finding the gem.
Now the bathroom could really be completely ruled out!
"Nothing much different, just missing a urinal," turning to leave, the observant Xu Mo shrugged, "Hmm... the signs are different too." (You can guess what the signs say, hehe......)
After ruling out the bathroom as well,
Xu Mo then went to the electrical room, pantry, security rest area and surveillance room in succession.
After searching the electrical room, pantry, and security rest area all over without finding the gem, Xu Mo became somewhat anxious and irritable.
"Where the hell did these bastards hide the gem? Or was that line just meant to mislead me?"
At this time, the only place he hadn't gone to in the entire exhibition hall was the surveillance room.
Upon entering the surveillance room, Xu Mo immediately discovered a safe tucked away in a corner.
Seeing this safe, all of Xu Mo's negative emotions were wiped away.
He even felt a little excited.
His instinct told him that what was hidden in the safe was most likely the real gem.
After all, a safe like this should not appear in the surveillance room.
Especially when one look told you it was a high-end model!
Not bothering to think much more, Xu Mo decided to open this safe.
Whether it contained the real gem or not would be clear as soon as he opened it.
For others this might be an issue with this kind of safe.
For Xu Mo, opening it was like child's play.
Of course, tools were needed as a prerequisite.
Xu Mo took a look around the surveillance room.
He discovered that there were several unopened cups of instant noodles sitting on the table.
With such convenient tools as instant noodles at hand, opening a safe was a piece of cake.

Yunqi Rose Garden.
Shen Manyi had worked hard before finally waking the unconscious Han Fei.
After being woken up, Han Fei felt his head was a little foggy and his eyelids were as heavy as lead, as if he had been pumped full of lead.
He instinctively wanted to rub his temples with his hands.
However, Han Fei was surprised to find that his hands were tied behind his back.
For a time, Han Fei could only bitterly smile.
To put it bluntly, this was probably the most humiliating incident in his life.
He hadn't caught the criminal, and instead was knocked out and tied up by the criminal.
What was most deadly was that this whole thing was being livestreamed!!
The viewers were all watching!
"Sigh." Han Fei sighed heavily, his face full of pain.
He had originally wanted to make an impressive appearance on the show and show off the police's capabilities.
Who would have thought...
Because of the troublesome opponent Xu Mo, he had ended up in such an indecent state!
"Captain Han, let's call the police for help," said Shen Manyi. "My hands are tied behind my back so I can't see my phone. Let's work together. You tell me which way I should press my hand. I'll make the call to the police. I remember what Xu Mo and his gang look like after changing their looks. Have the police send over a sketch artist. We still have a chance!"
Before Shen Manyi said this, Han Fei was already in pain.
One must know, his identity was a former criminal investigation team captain!
For a former criminal investigation captain to not only fail to catch the criminal, but also get tied up by the criminal instead, having to make a call to ask the police for help.
Damn...
The absurdity of this matter was almost on par with you, a high schooler, getting beaten up by some petty neighborhood thugs outside of school, then going home to ask your 8-year-old brother to help you get revenge.
But there was no other way.
Who else could come save them if they didn't call the police?
Seeing that Han Fei didn't respond, Shen Manyi urged him again.
"Captain Han, hurry up. I can't see the screen. Help me look at the phone. I'll make the call. I remember what Xu Mo and his gang look like after changing their appearances. Have the police send a sketch artist so we have a chance!"
After two seconds of pained silence, the anguished Han Fei spoke.
"No need to make it so complicated, just use the voice assistant... Hello Xiao Ai."
"I'm here."
"Call Dial Imp."
