Chapter 468 Reasoning Notes 10: Mermaid Tears (10)
Xiao Linlin turned on her laptop, and showed Mi Kaka the investigation materials she had prepared in advance.It turned out that the tears of the mermaid were dug out by an archaeologist from the tomb of an earl named Friedrian in Spain.The earl lived in the seventeenth century. According to archaeological records, Frederian, as a lord, was cruel and heartless.Under his high-handed rule, people lived in dire straits.It is said that Federian also has a terrible eccentricity, he is obsessed with drinking the blood of young girls.As a result, countless young girls died under his hands.He is like a devil in hell, the shadow of killing hangs over the people in that land.Until one day, the people who had been oppressed for a long time finally broke out.They stormed Friedrian's castle and killed him brutally.In the end, the brutal ruler got what he deserved.Two centuries later, an American archaeologist finally found the earl's tomb, and the earl and the jewels buried with him were able to be seen again.The Mermaid's Tears are said to have been worn on the earl's chest at that time.A few days after it was unearthed, the American archaeologist who got the mermaid's tears contracted smallpox and died suddenly.Afterwards, the Mermaid's Tears passed through the hands of different owners. However, those who got it would encounter all kinds of fatal and bizarre accidents.Therefore, it is also named the cursed sapphire.Its previous two owners were the Prince of Brunei and the Sheikh of Dubai.One of them died in a shipwreck accident fifteen years ago, and the other was killed just six months ago.

After reading Xiao Linlin's information, Mi Kaka's expression paled in shock.From this point of view, the curse of Mermaid Tears is not generally terrible.

And Xiao Linlin quietly lowered his voice and said to Mi Kaka: "Since the chief of Dubai was killed, the Mermaid's Tears have disappeared. Unexpectedly, it fell into Cai Dong's hands."

As she spoke, both she and Mi Kaka looked at Cai Dong.

The man was cocking his feet, smoking a cigar, pompous and relaxed.

At this moment, Fan Kun, the muscular man wearing a military cap, asked, "Boss Cai, is the Mermaid's Tears really in your hands?"

Cai Dong breathed out a puff of smoke: "Is this still fake?"

"Chairman, how did you get this gem?" Chi Guohui sat on a chair, raised a pair of sexy and charming long legs on the desk, and stared at Cai Dong with a pair of beautiful eyes.Light makeup was applied to the fair and pretty face. Under the pair of willow eyebrows, the beautiful eyes were flowing and moist, and seemed to be able to speak in a blink of an eye. Such a long-legged beauty made Cai Dong feel a little excited.

Cai Dong swallowed his saliva and said with a smile, "I can't tell you. This is a commercial secret."

Wang Zegang said: "If I remember correctly, the Mermaid's Tears sold for [-] million US dollars at the Dubai auction last time."

Hearing [-] million U.S. dollars, Mi Kaka was so surprised that he could stuff an apple into his mouth: "Wow, [-] million U.S. dollars, how much RMB is that?"

Xiao Linlin, who is very sensitive to money, immediately told him, "According to today's exchange rate, one U.S. dollar is equivalent to 6.9 yuan. One hundred million U.S. dollars is equal to 6.9 million yuan. You can buy about 50 houses of about 100 square meters in the second ring road of Beijing."

Can one jewel buy 50 houses in the Second Ring Road of Beijing?Mikaka was dumbfounded.It seems that Cai Dong is really a rich man.

He thought for a while, and then said: "Then, Boss Cai, why did you come to us? We are not mages, and we can't lift the curse."

With a cigar between his fingers, Cai Dong laughed loudly: "What kind of curse is a lie. I invited everyone to come, of course, to catch the shadow monster."

It turned out that this was his real purpose.Is he worried that the sapphire worth [-] million dollars will be stolen by shadow monsters?
Being able to catch the Shadow Stranger with a reward of 100 million and keep the jewelry worth [-] million dollars, this account is really worth it.

But Mi Kaka was still a little puzzled, and asked again: "Boss Cai, you can ask the police for help. Why do you want to pay us a bounty?"

Cai Dong sneered, as if showing disdain for the police.He said: "The police are useless. They can't catch the shadow monster at all. That's why I recruited you experts to deal with the monster thief."

Mi Kaka asked: "Is this shadow monster so powerful?"

It takes seven people to deal with it?What's more, there are red criminal Qi Mu and famous detective Lin Shan among them.In this way, Shadow Stranger is at the level of a big boss.

"You don't understand that, do you?" Xiao Linlin seemed to know everything.She told Mikaka that the Shadow Stranger is a famous Phantom Thief.There have been many crimes committed in the past ten years, and many rare treasures have been stolen by it. Legend has it that it is as unpredictable as a shadow, hence the name.No one knows its identity, because every time it appears, it wears a Beijing opera mask, which is also its characteristic symbol.The last time it appeared was at the Dubai auction half a year ago.

Mikaka asked her, "How do you know so clearly?"

Xiao Linlin raised her nose proudly, and said: "Because my master Wang Sicong is a detective who specializes in shadow monsters. It's a pity that he is ill this time, otherwise my master will definitely be able to take down that monster thief. "

Judging from her tone, it seems that Wang Sicong is a powerful character.Mi Kaka quietly asked Lin Shan beside her: "Lin Shan, do you know that detective named Wang Sicong?"

Lin Shan has heard a little about this person.It is said that Wang Sicong is a gourmet detective.He is a detective, but also a gourmet, likes to solve the case while eating delicious food.It sounds like a foodie.Mikaka thought to herself.

At this time, Wang Zegang pushed up his glasses and asked Cai Dong: "Why does Boss Cai think that the shadow monsters will definitely come to you? It stands to reason that you have Mermaid Tears, which is not known to outsiders."

Cai Dong was also surprised: "I don't know how it knows. Anyway, I received this last week."

He took out a letter.It turned out to be a teaser.

It says [The tears of the mermaid, in the middle of the moon, will fall into my hands. — Shadow Stranger. 】

Lin Shan walked over, picked up the notice, looked at it, and said, "It's a bit strange. Why did it issue such a notice? Isn't this clearly telling people to be prepared?"

Mikaka thinks this kind of situation is very common. Don't monster thieves always like to issue notices before committing crimes?He remembered that in the manga Conan, that Kaitou Kidd always behaved like this.It seems that every strange thief likes to pretend to be X.Oh, no, except for one strange thief, Mr. Qian who has a low-key style and comes and goes without a trace.It's the kind of thief who likes to sneak up on you and sneak away before you know it.This is the correct way for a thief to open it.

However, it is awesome, and it can incarnate into anyone.Because it has a thousand faces.

Xiao Linlin pointed to the notice, and asked again: "In the middle of this month, does it mean the fifteenth day?"

Lin Shan also agrees with her opinion.Literally, half a month is the middle day of a month.Today is the tenth day of the lunar calendar, and there are five days before the fifteenth day.

Having said that, this thief is really bold, and he even said generously when he committed the crime.

It is ignoring the existence of the police and detectives.

Thinking, Mikaka looked back at Saiki.He was silent, with his hands in his pockets.Sunshine rushed to sway on his handsome face, the corners of his mouth were outlined, and there was a touch of unruly ease on his face, just standing there indifferently.Doesn't this person seem to care about the case itself at all?
Qi Mu sneered, but took a step forward, staring at Cai Dong, he didn't call Boss Cai or Chairman Cai like other people did, but called him by his first name: "Cai Dong, how did you find us? "

When Cai Dong was asked this question suddenly, he froze for a few seconds, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth: "You don't need to know this. Anyway, you can help me keep Mermaid Tears, just catch the shadow monster. Whoever catches the shadow monster Customer, you can get a bonus of 100 million. How about it, this reward is very attractive."

Qi Mu snorted a little, with contempt on his cheeks, and made no secret of his disdain: "Do you think money is everything?"

Cai Dong's face was ugly.It seems that this red criminal is really a tough character as that person said.If he was attacked like this in normal times, Cai Dong would have gone mad and kicked Qi Mu out.But this time is different, he still has to rely on this cold and skilled young man to deal with the shadow monster.Thinking about it, his tone softened, and he asked more or less with a gesture of submission: "If you are not satisfied with the treatment, we can talk again."

Qi Mu didn't give in at all, and said, "I just want to know who asked you to find us."

He stared at Cai Dong with a cold face, his eyes were cold and merciless, his eyes were like knives, Cai Dong felt a slight chill, as if he was locked by a poisonous snake that spewed out letters, and his whole body was uncomfortable.He swallowed lightly, calmed down, and said, "You're thinking too much. I only posted hero posts after I found out about your names in the Jianghu. No one taught me to do this."

This man is lying!

A trace of guilty conscience flashed in Cai Dong's eyes, Qi Mu keenly caught it.But he didn't debunk.Qi Mu knew very well that the person behind the scenes who could know his true identity and invite him to come was, in all likelihood, the Earl.

What is the earl's purpose this time?

Does it have anything to do with shadow geeks?

At this time, Mikaka raised his hand weakly: "Well, I want to ask, what if the shadow monster can't be caught?"

Cai Dong shrugged and said, "There's no other way, I can only buy you a return ticket."

"Ah?" Mi Kaka looked very regretful: "There is no service fee?"
