Han Ning’s guess was baseless. He still had no evidence to prove his speculation.
He frowned and returned to the car with a dark expression.
“Han Ning, why did you come out? Isn’t Rom still inside?”
Zhang Zhi, who had been staring at the monitor, was attracted by Han Ning’s early return.
“I’ve already done the most important part. That person is very vigilant. We can’t follow him for too long or else we will be discovered,” Han Ning replied.
“Did you see something just now?” Zhang Zhi looked at the troubled Han Ning and asked.
Han Ning didn’t know how to explain his guess, so he simply shook his head and didn’t tell Zhang Zhi.
The Hundred Transformations Godly Thief had always been a highly intelligent criminal in people’s hearts. No one had ever mentioned that the Hundred Transformations Godly Thief was a group of people.
Han Ning decided to wait for a few more days and find more evidence. Then, he would tell everyone about his idea.
Seeing that Han Ning didn’t want to talk about it, Zhang Zhi didn’t probe further.
In the conference room of Interpol, Team Three held their third “West Loop Jiaside Auction House, Mermaid’s Tear Gem” case analysis meeting.
“Just discuss it normally. Don’t mind me.”
When Superintendent Chen heard that Team Three was holding a case analysis meeting today, he came over to listen since he had time.
The other members of Team Three were all a little nervous. Usually, it was fine when everyone was having a meeting, but now, since their boss was also here to listen…
Han Ning, on the other hand, didn’t seem to have changed at all. He was as relaxed as he usually was during meetings.
“Let’s begin. Zhou Zhan, we will start with you,” Wang Jing said.
Zhou Zhan was a little nervous as the big boss was sitting by the side, but he was still very serious when he talked about work.
“In the past week, we have relied on the Caucasian man known as Rom to monitor these five smuggled criminals closely.”
Zhou Zhan said as he flipped through the slides.
“We discovered that Rom was like a brain in this group. He was responsible for coordinating the actions of others.”
“He’s in charge of the progress of the entire plan. He ensures that all parts of the plan will work in an orderly manner…”
Zhou Zhan’s report wasn’t long. It was more of a summary of all the information that was gathered for Superintendent Chen the past few days.
Jiang Qing was still busy taking down notes for the meeting.
“Let me add something,” Zhang Zhi suddenly said.
“Two days ago, Han Ning and I noticed something when we were spying on them.”
“Originally, Rom would go to the auction house every other day to exchange information with another partner. However, he didn’t go to the auction house yesterday. Instead, he went to the house of the owner of Golden Fortune Jewelry, Fu Xin.”
Zhang Zhi’s news surprised everyone present.
No one expected a group of criminals to be in contact with a well-known entrepreneur in the city.
“After that, Han Ning asked me to investigate Fu Xin’s background, so I did.”
Zhang Zhi looked at Han Ning with admiration written all over his face.
“This Fu Xin might be as clean as a piece of paper, but he relied on smuggling to make a name for himself. However, no one in Hong Kong dares to bring that up.”
“I also found out that he’s very passionate about collecting antiques and jewelry. Most of the things he has are not from official sources.”
Zhang Zhi’s supplementary information made everyone fall into deep thought.
The entire conference room was silent. Other than Jiang Qing, who was still taking down notes, everyone was a little confused.
This meeting was the last case analysis meeting before the day of the exhibition. The following operations after that will revolve around capturing the criminals.
Han Ning also shared his recent speculation.
“Team Leader, I have a bold guess.”
As Han Ning spoke, everyone looked at him.
“I already had my suspicions the first day we followed him at the hotel. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any evidence.” Han Ning looked at Wang Jing.
“No one has seen the Hundred Transformations Godly Thief before. This fact alone makes it possible for us to question whether this thief is even a person.”
Everyone fell into deep thought after hearing that the Hundred Transformations Godly Thief was not a single person, but a group of people.
According to recent investigations and tracking, Han Ning had basically confirmed his guess.
“I’m certain that Rom’s crime organization is the international big thief, the Hundred Transformations Godly Thief.”
“What!?”
Wang Jing’s first reaction after hearing this was disbelief. After all, the image of the Hundred Transformations Godly Thief being a person had been formed in everyone’s mind for so many years.
The others were equally shocked, including Superintendent Chen who was listening.
Han Ning didn’t explain further. Instead, he continued.
After a week of tracking, Han Ning felt that he had a deep understanding of this so-called international thief.
He guessed that the thief was not a single person but an organization.
This group of people met at the auction house and exchanged information. They also came into contact with a tycoon who is likely to be the buyer.
Han Ning guessed that the cleaner at the auction house was probably secretly stealing information about the auction house.
On the day Rom went to meet Fu Xin, the observant Zhou Zhan noticed that a woman from Rom’s group had sneaked into the main auction hall to work.
This team was quite skilled in coordinating with each other.
No one else said anything in the conference room after Han Ning started his report.
Everyone was convinced by Han Ning’s speculation.
At the end of the meeting, Superintendent Chen generously praised Han Ning.
He was completely assured of this newcomer’s abilities.
No matter what case Han Ning was involved in, he would always make great contributions.
On the day of the exhibition.
Han Ning, Zhou Zhan, and Zhang Zhi were hiding in their car.
After all, there was only one entrance to Jiaside.
Wang Jing brought Jiang Qing, who entered the auction hall disguised as the female partner of a participant to protect the Mermaid’s Tear
The auction had just started.
A cleaning cart passed their car and turned into a small alley on the left.
Unfortunately, Han Ning failed to notice the car from the start. Zhou Zhan and Zhang Zhi saw it, but they didn’t take it to heart.
Until…
A white noise suddenly came from the earpiece in the car. After a while, Jiang Qing’s anxious voice sounded.
“Brother Han, there was a sudden blackout at the venue about 30 seconds ago. Sister Jing asked me to ask if there were any abnormalities outside?”
Han Ning was stunned when he heard that. He felt that the other party had already sneaked in and was taking action.
The three people in the car looked at each other. After thinking for a while, Zhou Zhan suddenly slapped his thigh.
“Oh no, it was that cleaning truck!”
Zhang Zhi also came to a realization.
Han Ning thought for a while and immediately thought of something. He quickly replied to Jiang Qing on the other end of the headset, “Those thieves are already on the move. I’ll chase after them and take a look. Zhou Zhan and Zhang Zhi will be guarding outside.”
After that, Han Ning left the car and ran towards the alley on the left.
Sure enough, he saw a cleaning cart in the alley, but there was no one next to it.
Beside it was the outer wall of the auction house. The shortest window was about three meters from the ground.
Although there was no suitable place to climb, it seemed that the thieves had entered from here.
Han Ning didn’t have time to think. He quickly climbed up the wall with his bare hands and kicked with his legs, successfully hanging onto the window ledge.
Han Ning entered the corridor and observed his surroundings carefully. The thieves were indeed professional. There were no useful clues left at the scene.
Han Ning thought for a while. After identifying the direction, he walked straight to the exhibition room where the Mermaid’s Tear was stored..
