"The first thing is that the rumored art thief B, who left a note saying that he was going to steal the gems from the Patek Philippe jewelry auction tomorrow afternoon, and although the National Police Agency intervened, there was no certainty that it would be able to prevent him."

"What, this is ridiculous, in the dignified imperial capital, a thief dares to be so arrogant!" Unsurprisingly, Reem III was furious, and as the president of the Imperial Capital Jewelry Society, it was his duty to prevent this from happening.

He waved his hand and said quite imposingly: "Don't worry, I will invite a few masters to the jewelry exhibition tomorrow afternoon, and I don't believe that he can stir up anything under our noses." ”

Reem III remembered that Duchamp had said that it was 'two troubles,' and he took the trouble to ask: "What is the second trouble?" ”

"The second thing, actually, is like this."

Duchamp added to the matter of preparing the Airship Association and the Airship Club, and added: "Now there are local nobles who want to monopolize the operation, and there are also people who think that the government will monopolize the operation. In my opinion, monopoly management is bound to be full of drawbacks, and it is only right for the royal authority to come forward in a unified manner, formulate a fair and conducive to long-term development, and use associations to restrict the balanced development of various localities and avoid waste. ”

Rayam III agreed with Duchamp's opinion, he had been on the edge of the world and the royal for so many years, and he had long been familiar with this kind of pimping matter, and without waiting for Duchamp's request, he naturally took the conversation.

"It's a good thing that the Lane Ford Club wants to promote the empire's airship industry, but I don't know much about this kind of national event, maybe it's better to get a closer look at the situation with the eldest lady of the Lane Ford Society, and then recommend one or two suitable candidates to her."

Duchamp knew that Reem III said this, and he already had an eyebrow, and said with a smile: "I also invited her to participate in the jewelry auction tomorrow, and when the auction is over, let's find a quiet room to have a meal together, and then talk by the way, okay?" ”

Reem III nodded in agreement, chatted with him for a few more minutes, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that you haven't worked hard lately, so I won't keep you more today, go back and rest more." Tomorrow's jewelry show, you can rest assured, everything will be fine. ”

Duchamp bowed in thanks, went downstairs to meet Mr. Lincoln, and said goodbye.

On the way, Duchamp told Lincoln that Reem III was willing to invite a master to guard the auction, and Mr. Lincoln listened to it, and was a little relieved.

Lincoln asked where Duchamp was going. Duchamp snorted and said: "God knows if that thief is not trustworthy, will he sneak in tonight and do something, in order to protect the jewelry, I will rest on the second floor of the jewelry store tonight, and swear to live and die with the jewelry." With that, an idea suddenly occurred to him, and whispered to Mr. Lincoln.

When Mr. Lincoln heard this, he was stunned and said, "Will it be effective to sacrifice a small part and keep the rest?" ”

Duchamp shook his head helplessly and sighed: "I have to try the methods I come up with now." I will tell you now, Goethe is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, but the thief is not an ordinary thief, and the guard of the hunter is like a fictitious thing for the thief, and only by being superior in intelligence can he keep the jewels. ”

Mr. Lincoln's face twitched, hesitant.

"Do we still have to hold the auction on time?"

"Do it, if you don't do it, you have to prevent him from coming, don't do anything all day, wait for him to come."

That night, Duchamp let Goethe rest first, stayed up all night, secretly took out the guide workbench, set up the repair mode, and changed the more than 60 poorly made jewels one by one until he was satisfied.

At daybreak, he took out a list to Sir Lincoln, with panda eyes, and said, "This is the jewel that was corrected last night, half of which is the work of Baron Theresa, and the main problem is in the misunderstanding or execution of the design, but it is a small problem." The numbering and corrected evaluations are here. You go to the auction site according to the plan we discussed, and I will sleep with the jewelry in my arms. ”

Sir Lincoln took the list and couldn't help but admire, and the evaluation on it became a B, and the attributes were greatly improved compared to the original. After this adjustment, the selling price of this batch of jewelry is at least twice as high.

Near noon, Duchamp was woken up by Goethe.

"Both Reem III and Mr. Yorkworths are here."

Duchamp hurried to his feet.

Reem III looked glamorous and dressed in an extravagant manner, showing the importance he attached to the auction. In addition to Yorkwards, there are two men by his side who Dušan does not know, and he knows that his strength is extraordinary at a glance.

Reem III pointed to the two people beside him and introduced: "These are two friends I specially invited, Lavahi and Fontaine, I heard that Strange Thief B will come to the auction site today to make trouble, and they have come to open their eyes. ”

Mr. Lincoln knew that this was the master invited by Mr. Reem, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

The two of them saw the main characters in the jewelry store, each carrying a suitcase, and smiled: "What an interesting defense, are you confusing the sight of the thief?" ”

Lincoln whispered, "Now the four people in the store, each of them have a box in their hands, but in fact, only one box is real jewelry, and the others are fakes, hoping that this will confuse the eyes of the strange thief." ”

"That's an interesting idea, who designed it?"

Goethe stepped forward: "I designed the defense plan. ”

Mr. Yorkwarts looked at the four identical chests, smiled to himself, and reminded, "But magic jewels can leak energy, and this alone may not be able to escape the intuition of a mysterious person like him." ”

"That's right, we've thought of that, so we've put a handful of genuine magic jewels in each chest, trying to make them all look the same." After speaking, he clapped his hands, and four professional bodyguards of Polaris Defense came up behind him and took the four boxes.

Mr. Lincoln went on to explain the process of the auction: "Because of such a special situation this year, we decided to make some changes to the process of the auction, and all the jewels were placed in a separate room behind the auction room, kept by a special person, and only a few samples were placed in front of them, and then one by one, they were taken out for auction. ”

Duchamp glanced at Goethe, and the two of them, with four bodyguards, went straight back to the room where the jewels were kept.

This house was temporarily modified by Duchamp, and the door was temporarily cut with a frame and a small window was added.

Duchamp ran in and said to Goethe: "I will not go out with the other two bodyguards later, but will hand the jewels out of the room one by one until the auction is over." You're outside, guarding the door of your room, and don't let anyone come close. There were no windows in this room, and the door was the only way to get through, so I would like to see if he could penetrate the walls. As for the loss of one or two pieces of jewelry after being photographed outside, that's just for now. ”

Goethe summoned the rest of the guards and instructed: "When the guests are inside, pay special attention to those who walk around the hall at will, so that the thieves do not get mixed up and attack the jewels that the guests have already photographed." ”

After a while, Reem III and the others came over, looked at the guards on the scene, and asked the masters around him with satisfaction: "Fontaine, what do you think is still wrong?" ”

One of the two masters frowned and said, "Although it seems to be heavily guarded, that person's ability is not beyond the reach of ordinary people, to prevent him from creating chaos and then making a sudden move." ”

Another expert said: "I heard that he is good at disguise, it is possible to disguise himself and blend in with any guest, and the guest list is hundreds of people in total, which is really difficult to judge." ”

"Well, who's on the roof?" One of the experts sensed that someone was on the roof.

"It's the police from the National Police Agency who are lying in ambush there."

Fontaine looked out the window and said, "There are also police officers on the road outside, although it is certainly impossible to hide the strange thief, but it is still a deterrent." ”

While the crowd was deliberating, one of the attendants, nervously holding a piece of paper with a mark, trotted all the way upstairs, and said, "Mr. Lincoln, I found this at the reception desk. ”

Mr. Lincoln unfolded the letter, and several people saw the mark at the same time, and exclaimed, "The mark of Thief B!" ”
