Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ever since the meeting that day, Han Ning had completely integrated into the Interpol’s Team Three and became familiar with the atmosphere.

Jiang Qing’s shyness seemed to only be directed at strangers. After spending some time together, her relationship with Han Ning had improved by leaps and bounds. It was no longer like the first time they met, where she didn’t even dare to raise her head.

“Brother Han, you’ve been so free recently… Aren’t you bored reading these dossiers every day?” Jiang Qing leaned over Han Ning’s seat and asked.

“I don’t think so. It’s very interesting to look at the dossiers. There are many things you can learn,” Han Ning answered without looking up.

“No wonder Boss and Sister Jing said that you are a natural born detective.” Jiang Qing pursed her lips and mumbled.

“Take a look at this case.” Han Ning handed her some files.

The contents of the dossier were about the international thief, the Hundred Transformations Godly Thief, stealing the Star of Africa.

This international thief was indeed resourceful. He had taken action many times around the world but had never been found out.

As for the case of the Star of Africa, it was an action that made this thief famous throughout the world overnight.

The Star of Africa was stolen during its first display in an exhibition in Europe.

At that time, no matter how hard the European Interpol investigated, they could not get any useful information about the Hundred Transformations Godly Thief.

After the day it was stolen, the media reported that the police did find the Star of Africa but did not manage to locate the thief, so the case was dropped.

However, there was news that the Star of Africa was going to be auctioned in the black market. After that, the Star of Africa did indeed appear at the auction venue.

In short, between the diamond being auctioned and the diamond that the police found, people didn’t know which diamond was the real Star of Africa. No one dared to jump to conclusions.

“Why is Brother Han so concerned about this case?”

Jiang Qing took a look at the title of the dossier and figured out which case Han Ning was looking at. After all, she was the one who had sorted out all the dossier for Team Three.

“I’m not really concerned. I’m just a little curious. What kind of method did this Hundred Transformations Godly Thief use for him to leave no traces at all? Besides, don’t you think this thief is very interesting?” Han Ning smiled and said.

Jiang Qing was confused, not understanding what Han Ning meant.

“If you read all the dossiers of this Hundred Transformations Godly Thief, you will find out that the authenticity of any treasure that has been stolen by him will soon become uncertain.” Han Ning took the initiative to explain.

…

The two of them enthusiastically discussed the case of this international thief in the office.

Wang Jing hurriedly returned from the office of Chief of the Interpol and Superintendent Chen.

“Han Ning, they’ve assigned you work. Come with me to the conference room for a meeting!”

Before he could see Wang Jing, he heard her voice coming from the corridor.

“Little Qing, help me gather the other members who are able to rush back right now. This is a big case!”

Once Wang Jing entered the office, she gave the order and waved Han Ning away.

An hour later, in the Team Three conference room.

Members of the meeting included team leader Wang Jing, technician Zhou Zhan, information specialist Zhang Zhi, note-taker Jiang Qing, and Han Ning.

“Where are the others? Why are there only us?”

Wang Jing looked at the four people sitting at the table and frowned.

“Team Leader, the others are currently working on their cases and are busy,” Jiang Qing explained.

“Forget it. Let’s have a meeting between ourselves first,” Wang Jing said as she tapped her forehead.

She cleared her throat and began to introduce the case.

“On the 1st of next month, the West Loop Jiaside Auction House will hold a large-scale jewelry exhibition.”

“At the end of the exhibition, a small auction will be held. The main purpose is to auction a gem named ‘Mermaid’s Tear’.

When Wang Jing said this, she couldn’t help but be attracted by the gemstone in the photo that was emitting a strange glow.

Jiang Qing, who was like a little girl, looked at the gemstone in the photo with an infatuated expression.

Han Ning frowned. He knew about this gem. It was ranked third on the world gem list.

It was said that this gem was extremely high in transparency, and it was rumored to have the same translucency as the tears of the merfolk.

But this gem should have been lost three centuries ago. Where did it suddenly appear again?

Moreover, in his previous life, until he died, Han Ning had never heard of the news of this gemstone reappearing.

Han Ning was confused.

Wang Jing didn’t notice Han Ning’s deep thoughts. She slowly spoke.

“There’s news from the auction house that the internationally renowned thief Hundred Transformations Godly Thief has his eyes on this gem.”

“He also released news that he would definitely come to Jiaside Auction House on the 1st and steal the Mermaid’s Tear in front of everyone.”

Wang Jing paused again.

Han Ning was stunned. He had just finished discussing this great thief with Jiang Qing. How could it be so coincidental that the new case was related to this great thief?

Their eyes met in the air and they were both shocked.

To the members of the Interpol, this notorious international thief was a difficult existence to deal with.

In the past, this thief had been traveling around Europe and America and had never appeared in Asia. Therefore, Wang Jing had only heard of the strange nature of this thief but had never actually come into contact with him.

“The person-in-charge of the auction house has requested help from the headquarters. He hopes that the police can help to protect this gem. At the very least, they cannot let the gem be stolen from their auction house.”

Wang Jing was suppressing her anger as she explained the situation.

At that moment, the other four people present fell silent after hearing what Wang Jing said. Only the sound of Zhang Zhi typing on the keyboard echoed in the office.

“Tell us your thoughts. Boss has already assigned us this case to our Team Three.”

“We have to work hard and not mess up. If we get mocked by Team One and Team Two…”

Wang Jing’s expression was a little gloomy. “I’ll kill you all!”

Zhang Zhi and Zhou Zhan shuddered when they heard this…

Only Han Ning and Jiang Qing did not understand what was going on. They did not understand the feud between Wang Jing and the other two groups.

“Team Leader, look. This is the information I found on the Jiaside Auction House.”

Zhang Zhi found something and quickly projected the information on the computer onto the screen as he explained.

“The Jiaside Auction House is an old auction house located in the center of the Western Loop. They have branches all over the world. They have strong economic power and a strong political background.”

“They often hold high-level exhibitions and auctions. Most of the items they auction are top-notch rare treasures.”

Zhang Zhi explained as he flipped through the information.

“However, this auction house has been going downhill for the past few years. It is constantly losing to its competitors.”

“In order to maintain their reputation as the number one auction house, they have gone to great lengths.”

“The auction on the 1st will be their biggest activity in the past two years. It seems that they want to use this auction to announce to their opponents that they are still the number one auction house in the world.”

Han Ning listened quietly to everyone’s discussion. He was very curious about this great thief.

The Hundred Transformations Godly Thief had never been caught in his previous life.

Although all parties were actively searching for traces of him, it was all in vain.

His methods of theft were brilliant, and he was cautious when committing crimes. He would never leave any traces at the scene, and he only targeted the world’s famous treasures.

The Mermaid’s Tear that was targeted this time had never appeared in Han Ning’s previous life.

Han Ning had no idea what the case was about..
