Duchamp rode in Irina's high-end guide car and first went to the von Stark Fine Jewelry store to inquire about Mr. Lincoln's whereabouts.

The clerk took Duchamp to the exhibition hall on the second floor, and as soon as Duchamp entered, a few voices suddenly remembered in surprise:

"Styry!"

"Steiry, you're finally here."

Several familiar voices rang out at the same time.

When Duchamp looked up, he saw Mr. Lincoln, Goethe, Baron Theresa, and the other two shareholders of the von Stark jewelry store, as well as some unknown people.

"Uh, why do you all look weird today?" Duchamp asked.

Goethe grimaced and said, "Something is going on here, first of all, we need to make sure if you are a Styrey or not?" ”

"What's the situation?" Duchamp was inexplicable.

"Where did we first meet, Styry?" Goethe asked.

"Old machete restaurant, what kind of mess is this?"

Goethe nodded, then took out a piece of paper and showed it to Duchamp.

This is a beautiful fragrant piece of paper with the words "Dancing in the Dragon":

"The pass of beauty:

Shoddy craftsmanship is the biggest crime in this world, and only jewelry that coexists with beauty and magic is truly magical jewelry. The use of cheap processing methods and poor workmanship completely tarnished these gemstones.

I will come tomorrow when the auction begins, and I will come to issue a beautiful pass, and by the way, steal your shoddy goods, lest it circulate to the world.

If you have faith, come and catch me then.

Sincerely, Thief B. ”

There is a special mark on the letter.

After reading it, Duchamp's heart suddenly became nameless, more than 20 days ago, the strange thief snatched the divine items from his hands, and now he actually stole to the door.

Wait, is there a relationship between the two?

Duchamp shook his head violently, he was obviously dizzy, the incident belonged to the agent, not him Duchamp.

Well, it can only be an interesting coincidence.

Thinking of this, Duchamp couldn't help but laugh. He held up the piece of paper and asked, "Is this sure it's that man's letter?" The legendary art thief. ”

"I guess I can't be wrong, he has committed crimes many times before, and he has left a similar mark and the same tone." A brown-haired man standing in the corner said.

Mr. Lincoln hurriedly introduced, "This is Mr. Holbuch, the search officer of the Imperial Capital Police Agency. ”

Duchamp saw Goethe's poker face and knew the source of his displeasure, apparently believing that calling the police in the store was showing contempt for the security capabilities of the "Polaris Defense Company".

Officer Holbutch walked over, took the piece of letterhead, and pointed to the seal on it, "This is his unique mark; Also, the perfume on the letter paper smells like a high-end men's perfume; Even this blue-and-white envelope was specially made, and he had used similar envelopes and stationery at other theft scenes before, and he even disdained to change the handwriting, which showed the arrogance of this person. ”

The corners of Duchamp's mouth turned into an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Did he miss it?"

The Searcher's face darkened.

"Not yet, but we'll definitely catch him this time."

Duchamp couldn't help but roll his eyes, and in order to hide the expression on his face, he turned to Goethe and asked, "Is there any loss of that jewel until now?" ”

"Not yet."

"Don't worry, that person has always been extremely arrogant, and he never advances the agreed time to do it." Officer Holbuch interjected again in an uninteresting manner.

Duchamp ignored the inquisitor, and pointed to the words 'shoddy' on the letter, and asked Mr. Lincoln: "Is the quality of our jewelry this year so bad?" ”

"It's about the same quality as last year, and in my opinion, a lot of them are high-quality."

Duchamp frowned.

"Take me to see it."

Mr. Lincoln led Duchamp to the safe next door where important items were stored, where two hunters were on duty.

Duchamp saw a large group of people following behind, frowned, and said: "Anyway, Mr. Strange Thief will not be here now, you don't have to be so nervous, except for me, Goethe and Mr. Lincoln, please go out first." ”

Wait until Goethe empties the people and closes the door. Mr. Lincoln took out the key from his body, opened the safe, and carefully took out two large boxes from inside, and said, "This is the jewelry prepared for this auction, and there are 170 of them, all of which are here." ”

Duchamp nodded and said, "According to the old rules, I'd better test the quality of this batch of goods first." ”

Mr. Lincoln hurriedly brought the identification aids, found a large piece of flannel, spread it on the large table in the center of the room, took out a few pairs of white gloves, and distributed them to the people in the room, and finally, took out a notebook, ready to record Duchamp's evaluation.

Duchamp put on his gloves, took out the jewels in the box one by one, and observed carefully, now his understanding of magic treasures has increased, while referring to the evaluation given by the system, while carefully comparing it with his own eyes, after all, the evaluation of the system is only the only criterion of the inlay efficiency of the circuit and the effect that can be achieved, and the auction price of magic jewelry will also be affected by many factors, such as the beauty of the exterior design, the grade of the gem, the rarity of the magic, and so on.

By the time all the goods were sorted, several hours had passed.

Duchamp rubbed his eyebrows and said tiredly, "Finally, let's count how many pieces there are in each grade." ”

"7 for Grade A, 28 for Grade B, 56 for Grade C, 69 for Grade D, and 10 for Grade E."

Duchamp frowned, this grade of goods is indeed not ideal, no wonder a thief like thief B would call it "shoddy goods." ”

"It's better to do this, the quality of the goods is too low, it is indeed not worthy of our brand, I will take it back at night to correct it, and strive to correct all the goods to C level or above, if it does not reach this level, we will not participate in the auction."

"But in this case, only half of the products can participate in the auction!" Mr. Lincoln said distressedly.

"I'll stay up all night at night, trying to correct a few more pieces. Maybe if we had raised the grade, the gentleman wouldn't have come. ”

"Hmph, is that person really as amazing as the legend says? Never miss a steal? Goethe looked unconvinced.

Duchamp sneered in his heart, that is a character who can calmly walk away under the noses of the Sword Saint and the Church Knight, relying on a kitchen knife warrior like you who has just stepped into level 80, it is strange to be able to catch him.

Mr. Lincoln was not as optimistic as Goethe, and he said worriedly: "The cases he has done have been piled up in the police department, and countless great men have tried to catch him, but they have been tricked into disgrace." I don't have to think about catching him, I'm more worried about making a big mess tomorrow and damaging the reputation of our auction. ”

Duchamp rubbed his eyes, he had too many things to consider, and he couldn't let Mr. Strange Thief steal the jewelry, and he couldn't reveal his identity and his special abilities. Otherwise, he only had to put these jewels on himself, and that strange thief, even if he had great ability, would not be able to steal anything from his space.

Thinking of this, Duchamp suddenly thought of a foolproof solution, and said to Mr. Lincoln: "How many professional chests for jewelry like this are in the store, all of them are found and piled up in this room, and we must spread the risk and disturb the sight of the strange thief." ”

He inspected the hall that was the auction house, discussing the details with the crowd.

"Pile up the boxes in front of the auction table, okay, that's it, I don't think Mr. Thief will open them one by one."

When the auction table was full, Duchamp still felt that it was not appropriate, he looked at the whole room, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed to a piano in the room and asked, "How can there be a piano?" ”

"This time, in order to increase the momentum, we specially invited the principal pianist of the Imperial Opera, Ms. Yela, to play for us, and the price was a magic jewelry necklace."

Duchamp ran over, gestured to the huge body, and asked, "Is it okay to hide the jewels in the resonance box of the piano?" ”

Mr. Lincoln said amusedly, "In that case, a knowledgeable person will hear that there is something in it." ”

"Well, forget it, I want to think of other ways, maybe it's safest to put it in a small dark room."

Thirty minutes later, Duchamp and Mr. Lincoln each went out with a suitcase.

Mr. Lincoln, while looking around warily, whispered to Duchamp, "Is it really reliable to bring things out without any defense?" ”

Duchamp comforted him in a low voice: "It is the safest thing to take out half of the things and keep half in the shop, not to mention that the focus of tomorrow lies in the box in Goethe's hand, which is so poor that I need to continue to correct it." ”

Mr. Lincoln made up his mind, got the car up, and drove toward the house of Reem III, where there was one more important matter.

"Styri, what King Reem III has commissioned has really been done?"

On the way, Mr. Lincoln asked uneasily.

For Patek Philippe jewelry, which is not well established, Reem III is an important connection.

"I'm not sure about this, so I can only say that I made a sample and let him identify it first and see if it can be completed." Duchamp said.

"Alas, that's good, in fact, Reem III is a famous magic jeweler in the empire, and even he can't do things, it's really too difficult to leave it to someone else."

"That's not necessarily, after simplifying the design, the final thing is not so complicated, but I don't know if it will work in the end." Duchamp sighed.

As the two spoke, the house of Reem III had arrived, and Duchamp frowned, trying to look confident, and he felt that the burden on his shoulders was suddenly heavy.

This time, he can only succeed and not fail!
