Tiannan Province, Dong Jiang City.
Dong Jiang City is located to the east of Linjiang City, bordering it.
The waters of the Yangtze River flow down from the north of Tiannan Province, and Dong Jiang City is the last city where the river touches the province.
Moreover, Dong Jiang City directly borders the prosperous Jiangnan Province.
This has led to Dong Jiang City's excellent developnt, making it now the second most important economic and administrative center in Tiannan Province, right after Huadu.
Jiang Xuezhun has been in Dong Jiang City for a while now, and from being completely unfamiliar with the place, she has gradually beco quite accustod to it, increasingly able to live like a local.
However, her main task is to station herself near certain places, gather intelligence, and crack cases.
Because just a month ago, Dong Jiang City's wealthiest man, You Jin Hong, held an exhibition where a coin valued at ten million Huaya Currency was stolen.
Dong Jiang City's police were unable to solve the case, so they sought help from the Huadu side. For certain reasons, Jiang Xuezhun was honored to be selected as a mber of the special investigation team.
When Jiang Xuezhun first received this task, she was completely puzzled that a single coin could be worth over ten million Huaya Currency!
Later, she learned that it was a 25-cent coin minted by the U.S. Mint in 1792. The reverse side was engraved with the Statue of Liberty, surrounded by the words "The Mother of Freedom for Science and Industry." You Jin Hong had originally purchased it for a substantial thirteen million Huaya Currency.
There are actually two identical coins; this is just one of them, and the other is in the hands of an unknown mysterious collector.
After losing the coin, You Jin Hong reported it imdiately, but it didn't seem to affect his enthusiasm at all, as he continued to host exhibitions everywhere to show off his collection to the world.
Fang Da District, Dong Jiang City.
You Jin Hong's exhibition had been held here for three days, and Jiang Xuezhun and her colleague had been on surveillance here for three days, but they had found no clues.
After stealing the coin, the thief seed to have vanished into thin air, showing no interest in the other treasures.
This had Jiang Xuezhun and her team worried.
Nightfall had already set in.
The special investigation team's leader, a middle-aged man in his thirties, quietly said, "I'm afraid tonight will be another washout; if the thief wants to show up, it can only be tonight, but no exhibition is planned for tonight..."
He was interrupted when they heard an announcent from the exhibition hall: "To warmly welco a distinguished guest coming to Dong Jiang City to et Mr. You, tonight's exhibition will be held as usual. Announcents have been made to other places, and guests will be arriving soon. All departnts, please cooperate."
The group leader, nad Zhai Guang, looked slightly embarrassed and cleared his throat, saying, "Sure enough, plans can't keep up with changes. Since the exhibition is still on, we will continue our vigilance. Don't trust these security guards too much; their anti-subversion capability isn't great."
As he said this, he was extrely confident and unintentionally glanced at Jiang Xuezhun, who was intently watching the distance.
Originally, Jiang Xuezhun was not supposed to join the team, given her lack of experience, and the magnitude of the case was beyond what a newcor like her could handle.
However, Zhai Guang had so influence within the security establishnt; his distant uncle was a big shot in Tiannan Province's security agency. He had taken a liking to Jiang Xuezhun, so he used his connections to bring her in, just to be able to interact with her more.
However, much to his chagrin, Jiang Xuezhun seed completely uninterested in him, instead pouring all her attention into the case, leaving Zhai Guang frustrated.
Since Mr. You dared to exhibit such valuable items, it ant he had already put in place substantial security asures.
Yet the thief was still able to steal the coin, indicating a very high level of theft skill, possibly an international thief.
Such a level of theft suspect, how could they possibly capture them?
Absolutely impossible!
So throughout, he had rely harbored the intention of wooing Jiang Xuezhun, staying here for a ti, without any expectations of result, just to go through the motions.
And this was precisely why he couldn't understand Jiang Xuezhun's earnest attitude towards solving the case.
Upon hearing the broadcast about the arrival of a distinguished guest, Jiang Xuezhun imdiately thought of Xu Hao.
Because Liu Ruyan had already inford her that Xu Hao was coming to see her, which delighted Jiang Xuezhun; she hadn't seen Xu Hao in quite so ti.
Gradually, guests began to enter the exhibition hall.
The exhibition hall was Mr. You's private venue, and next door was an extrely spacious banquet hall that could accommodate over a thousand people for dining.
Mr. You was not a stingy person; he preferred sharing his wealth with others to gain spiritual satisfaction.
However, not everyone could attend his exhibitions; only those with invitations could accept the invite.
