Chapter 386 [Magical Girl in Modern Times] 11
The story begins with Hua Yan. Her elementary school friend invited her to attend an exhibition. This elementary school friend was actually a friend who was still in elementary school.
"Anyway, all kinds of relationships are mixed together, and because of the business dealings between the adults, they become friends." Hua Yan thought this was quite normal. Anyway, the adults felt that there was not much difference between seven or eight years old and twelve or thirteen years old, so they brought them all to the party.
As a result, the hotel originally booked for the banquet was cancelled.
It is said that when the person in charge went to check, he came across the crime scene where a murder had occurred. Although it was eventually solved by a very famous sleeping detective, the feng shui of a hotel where a murder had just occurred sounded not very good, so the address was eventually changed to this museum that was currently exhibiting, and part of the exhibition hall was applied for as the banquet venue.
Of course, it was only booked for three days. The Situ family, who organized the banquet, exhibited some of their private collections in exchange. There were about thirty pieces in total, all of which were old items that were not easily seen by the public.
One of the items loaned out was a 34.16-carat pigeon blood ruby, which last appeared in public in 1964 at a private auction and was bought by an unknown buyer for a whopping $7560 million. Unexpectedly, it eventually ended up in the hands of the Situ family.
This ruby is of very high purity, and it is difficult to take your eyes off it. After being polished and faceted, the flowing red luster is like an intoxicating red wine that has been deposited for many years, and it is also like a unique and vivid beauty in the world. Such a beautiful gem is loved by humans and magical creatures, so this shining gem was noticed by the nesting magical creature at first sight.
The exhibition lasted less than twenty-four hours. As long as the magical creatures did not reveal themselves, ordinary people and surveillance cameras could not see them. This magical creature swaggered into the museum. Even if people checked the surveillance and thermal imaging, they could only see the glass of the gem suddenly shattered and the gem flew away.
As for the thief who stole the gems? Sorry, even if I zoomed in with the high-definition camera and examined it frame by frame, I couldn't see any trace of the thief.
Some thought it must have been the work of a phantom thief from urban legend, but no invitation was found at the scene, so the rumor spread that the gem itself had become a spirit, unable to bear its fate as an exhibition, and had run away, determined to return to its true home...
There was also speculation that a renowned archaeologist should be invited over. He was particularly knowledgeable about this, had apprehended numerous international thieves, and was rumored to be connected to a mysterious organization within the American Express.
Ahem, in short, Feng Lan looked at the rumors that were spreading everywhere, and finally, in this world that was frantically testing the edge of copyright, he acted quickly and prevented this farce from happening.
As for the lair of this magical creature? Sorry, it was an illegal building and was demolished. Of course, Feng Lan couldn't control what kind of speculation the sudden return of the gem would cause.
This creature looks very much like a crow, and its appearance is pure black to humans, but Feng Lan can see that it has very colorful colors and a rare spatial attribute. This makes it much more difficult to capture it. If Feng Lan himself had not been very knowledgeable about space and even time, this little guy would have really escaped.
"I caught you," Feng Lan grabbed the bird that kept chirping, "I've also demolished your illegal building."
"Wow - wow -"
Seeing his beloved nest being demolished, the big bird was even sadder than when he was caught by Feng Lan. In his emotional upheaval, he even took Feng Lan with him to jump through time and space, and brought her to a certain ocean.
