It's not too much to say that a beauty is a little bit stronger

In the next few days, Xiao Huai devoted himself to intensive data collection and field investigation.

He did not easily believe any one-sided statement, but verified the background of each person on the list through various channels.

He consulted the museum's archives, looking for clues behind the history, and secretly contacted insiders who had come into contact with the people on the list.

During the day, he investigated various places involved in the list in the name of the bureau's mission, and at night he sorted out the collected information. Every small clue gradually pieced together a huge and complex network.

Xiao Huai personally tracked down the powerful people on the list.

While collecting information, he contacted those people in various identities, observing their lifestyles and dealing with people in their circles, and gradually pieced together the truth.

He soon discovered something unusual.

To outsiders, some of the people on the list are just ordinary museum staff or politicians associated with museums, with seemingly limited income.

However, Xiao Huai noticed that their daily life seemed extremely luxurious.

Expensive mansions, luxury cars, private banquets, these details are completely inconsistent with their official income levels.

By inquiring with the people they came into contact with on a daily basis, Xiao Huai gradually learned about the huge financial support behind these people, which was obviously not proportional to their apparent work income.

Once, Xiao Huai accidentally ran into a museum director on the list in a high-end restaurant. He was talking quietly with several businessmen dressed in luxurious clothes. His manners were elegant and his demeanor was calm, but these businessmen were obviously not ordinary people.

Xiao Huai noticed that those people mentioned a large private donation during the conversation, which seemed to be related to the transaction of a certain cultural relic.

"It's easy to get. There are people who recycle this kind of thing, haha."

"So, what's wrong with us just moving our fingers, grabbing some goods, and then selling them?"

The group of people were chatting and laughing.

He did not alert the enemy, but calmly recorded everything.

On the surface, museums display cultural and historical treasures, but behind the scenes, they have become hidden places where the powerful conduct secret transactions.

He smiled coldly and turned away.

Human nature is, after all, the most untestable thing in the world.

Thief?

He once thought that Kaito K was the thief, and all the players in the police station also thought that he was the criminal who stole things. Subconsciously, they always thought that K was the target to be stopped.

They always thought that K was stealing these priceless exhibits from the museum, so they tried their best and used various means to stop K's actions.

But who could have predicted that the main quest was just a clever smokescreen from the very beginning?

The real thief is not K, but that group of people.

Some museums appear to be the guardians of world culture, but in reality they are nothing more than dens of thieves in the guise of academia.

Those treasures called collections are nothing but spoils of plunder and occupation, displayed openly, as if they would never return to their rightful owners as long as certain traces were erased.

The so-called cultural sharing is nothing more than an excuse for sinners to take possession of other people's heritage.

Some museums have taken countless treasures from their original places through war and colonial expansion and preserved them for a long time.

Although those precious cultural relics are called shared cultural heritage, the history of plunder and occupation behind them cannot be erased.

----

There is only one day left before K's arrival as shown in the trailer. The police station is already busy and everyone is extremely nervous.

Plainclothes police officers are scattered throughout the city, patrolling every street and every corner, as if they are everywhere.

These players also realized that they could not use their superpowers easily in this game, and they were still frantically searching for the so-called treasure of the museum.

Most people believed that the Heart of Aurora was most likely the core treasure of the museum, so everyone was like a chicken with its blood pumped up, concentrating on guarding against K's sneak attack, fearing any mistakes.

However, Xiao Huai seemed out of tune with all this.

He sat alone in the cafe, the busy world had nothing to do with him.

The café's decor has an elegant retro feel, with dark brown wooden furniture exuding a warm sheen and soft leather seats.

There are several celebrity photographs hanging on the wall, including one of the sea.

The air was filled with a faint aroma of coffee. Xiao Huai tapped the coffee cup lightly with his fingertips, his eyes wandering aimlessly outside the window.

There is melodious piano music in my ears, accompanied by gentle violin sounds, the music style is soft and quiet.

His eyes occasionally swept across the seats around him, where the guests were chatting quietly with a leisurely elegance.

He knew that the Heart of Aurora was no longer in the museum, and his deduction became clearer from this.

The Heart of Aurora had been taken away by Cangli, but no alarms or abnormalities occurred.

This in itself is a key clue, suggesting that the Heart of the Aurora is not the museum's true treasure.

A hint of irony flashed through Xiao Huai's mind. This group of people were still trying their best to protect a lost treasure, not knowing that all their energy was misled.

He used the fact that Cangli had taken the Heart of Aurora in advance to reversely deduce the truth.

Or to put it another way, Xiao Huai was using the fact that Cangli took away the Heart of Aurora to prove the authenticity of the main mission.

"Main Quest: Find the most valuable treasure of King's Lynn Museum and protect it from being stolen."

If the so-called treasure of the museum has been stolen, then where is the main quest?

Who are they really going to cooperate with?

Is there only one treasure in the museum?

Xiao Huai took a sip of coffee, a calm glint in his eyes.

A big plan has already begun to brew in my heart.

In this leisurely atmosphere, a familiar voice suddenly came to my ears.

The sound came quietly in the music, but suddenly broke the silence before his eyes.

"Dear, didn't you say you would come to see me? I've been waiting for you so hard."

The voice had a hint of frivolity, and the words should have sounded greasy, but when they floated into Xiao Huai's ears, they brought an invisible feeling of palpitations.

He subconsciously opened his eyes, but before he could react, his vision was gently covered by a pair of warm hands.

"I'll give you something."

Xiao Huai was silent for a moment, and then the voice in his ear slowly came again, with a faint smile.

The smile was undisguisedly provocative, yet seemed extremely natural.

When the hands loosened, Xiao Huai looked up and saw Lu Yuanshi already standing in front of him.

There was a hint of leisure and cunning between his eyebrows, just like a fox.

When Xiao Huai looked at Lu Yuan, his gaze gradually moved downwards and he saw what he was holding in his hand.
