Gotham City, Orpheus Jewelry Exhibition Hall.

In the curator's office, two people were sitting on the sofa having a face-to-face conversation.

One of them was a middle-aged man in a suit, and opposite him was a woman in a smart business attire.

The former is Danilo Ofi, the curator of the Offi Jewelry Exhibition Hall, and the latter is Biska Cornell, the person in charge of the Smithsonian's loan of the "Hope Blue Diamond" to Gotham for exhibition.

"Welcome to Gotham, Miss Cornell from the Smithsonian."

As the landlord, curator Offi greeted first warmly.

"You are welcome, curator Offi. I am here to discuss the security details of the exhibition with your museum. I hope you don't think I am too wordy. We have absolutely no intention of interfering with your museum's work."

Biska had a formulaic, polite smile on her face, her stance kept low.

"It's easy to talk about, the 'Hope Blue Diamond' is such a precious treasure, of course it should be well protected, no matter how much attention is paid to the details."

Curator Offi nodded again and again, with a very sincere attitude.

This is not surprising. As the exhibitor of the 'Hope Blue Diamond', if something happens to the 'Hope Blue Diamond', the responsibility will all be on his shoulders, and he may lose his fortune and even pay for it.

As for whether you can buy theft insurance... Just kidding!Which insurance company dares to sell insurance in Gotham?I'm afraid it's not obvious that I want to cheat insurance.

It stands to reason that a world-famous gemstone like the 'Hope Blue Diamond' will be snapped up by major museums or exhibition halls no matter where it is borrowed for exhibition. No matter how many famous venues want to spend money to borrow it, there is no way.

But when we arrived in Gotham, the situation took a 180-degree turn. This "Hope Blue Diamond" seemed to be a hot potato, and no major museum was willing to take it over.

So much so that the Smithsonian Museum had to temporarily announce the termination of Gotham's exhibition plan.

That's right, that's the real reason why the 'Hope Blue Diamond' exhibition was canceled, not because of fear of Kaitou Kidd or any other criminals.

We don't know what kind of madness the owner of the Smithsonian Museum is, and he has nothing to do so he has to send treasures to Gotham.

However, people may consider that Kaitou Kidd will always send back gems after stealing them, so maybe they want to use this matter to hype.

If the Kaitou Kidd is unfortunately caught this time, it means that the legend of "Hope Blue Diamond" will be added to the doom legend. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?
Although in Gotham, people with this idea usually go to Arkham for further education, but who knows what Washingtonians think?

All in all, just when the Smithsonian Museum decided to completely abandon the Gotham exhibition plan, the Offi Jewelry Exhibition Hall took the initiative to find the door.

This is a moderately large exhibition hall, and it didn't have much sense of existence in the eyes of the Smithsonian Museum at first.

Director Ofi thinks it is a good opportunity to exhibit "Hope Blue Diamond", as long as it is done well, the reputation of his own exhibition hall will soar a lot.

So the two sides hit it off, and reached a cooperation in a logical way.

"May I take the liberty to ask, when will you decide to hold the exhibition?"

Curator Offi asked with some hesitation.

"What I mean is, when will the 'Hope Blue Diamond' be sent to Gotham? If there is no diamond, our security work cannot be perfected. It will always be the last link."

"I understand what you mean, Director Offee, I am not here today to ask you to do something, but to discuss future work arrangements."

Bisca explained.

"About the exact date of the exhibition, it will officially start on March 3 and last until April 31, a total of five days, about a week before the opening of the exhibition. I hope that the blue diamond will escort it."

"I understand, Miss Ke Neil, it may not be intuitive to just say it with your mouth. If you don't mind, please come with me and let's go to the exhibition hall to visit together."

Curator Offi stood up and extended an invitation to Biska.

"In order to hold this exhibition well, we spent a lot of money to purchase many top security devices produced by Wayne Group, Lex Group and Star Lab to ensure that the 'Hope Blue Diamond' will not be taken away by any criminals."

"Seeing how confident you are, I'm starting to wonder what kind of security measures that are."

Biska accepted the curator's invitation, and the two began to walk towards the exhibition hall.

Director Ofi obviously attaches great importance to the "Hope Blue Diamond" exhibition. He introduced all kinds of high-tech equipment to Biska, and a few of them were specially opened for Biska to watch the actual effect.

In fact, he could completely hand over this kind of work to his subordinates, but he still insisted on personally introducing Biska.

Even a person who has never been familiar with these devices will not think that they are cheap goods just by looking at them casually, and most of the devices are very new, and they have only been installed recently.

It can be seen that curator Offi has indeed invested heavily.

After a round of watching, the two returned to the office.

Curator Offee talked all the way, and his mouth was already a little dry. As soon as he entered the door, he picked up the cup and took a sip of water, and then said.

"That's as far as we can go, Miss Knell."

Biska nodded in satisfaction, and said, "You have done a very good job. To put it bluntly, I don't even think the security of the Smithsonian is better than yours."

"You are rude."

"I have to rush back to report on my work, so I'll take my leave first, Director Offee."

Biska shook hands with Curator Offi, then turned her head and left.

When the people walked away, curator Offi sat on the office chair, his face couldn't help overflowing with joy, and he began to imagine the future in which his fame would increase and his value would skyrocket after he successfully exhibited "Hope Blue Diamond".

Boom!

Not long after, there was a knock on the office door.

"Please come in."

Curator Offi quickly stabilized his emotions, and said calmly.

However, when he saw the true face of the person who came, he suddenly froze.

"Miss Knell? Why are you back?"

The person who came in was Biska Cornell who had just left.

However, Biska didn't seem to understand Director Ofi's words, she frowned and asked, "Director Offi, what do you mean by coming back? I just rushed here."

Hearing this, Director Ofi was shocked, and stared at Biska in horror.

Biska didn't understand why the other party showed such an expression, and her eyes were full of doubts.

The two of them stared wide-eyed and fell into silence.
