"After the clues that Daniel and his team found were proven to be wrong," his colleague Bertie Hansen suddenly said.
Bertie felt the numbers were familiar, but she had been busy with the team and hadn't had time to calm down and sort out her thoughts.
It wasn't until she went back and looked at the relevant information on Facebook that Bertie realized the information contained in that string of numbers.
Daniel turned to her and asked, "What's so magical about it?"
Isn't this a random number?
At most, the sequence behind it is from 10 to 1.
Bertie Hansen's face was filled with memories: "This represents the first edition of the first Harry Potter book."
That is, *Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone*.
When Bloomsbury Publishing published Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, only 500 copies were printed for the first edition.
Furthermore, the book's copyright page displays numbers from 10 to 1 in reverse order.
This was a mistake by the publisher; they should have printed 1 through 10 instead.
If it is just that, then perhaps it is a coincidence.
However, the addition of 500 in front of it is definitely not a coincidence in my opinion.
The other party is definitely a die-hard Harry Potter fan; many die-hard fans wouldn't even know that the copyright page of the first printing of *Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone* was printed incorrectly.
Daniel's eyes flickered more and more as he listened.
He knew where to start.
He gave Bertie a hug: "I also believe this is definitely not a coincidence; the information you provided was quite useful."
This can help us greatly narrow down the selection range.
Very few people would know this information.
He was even one of the owners of those five hundred first-print copies.
Bertie nodded and said, "This batch of first edition Harry Potter books with printing errors has only been auctioned seventeen times."
The most recent one was at the Harry Potter Hogwarts auction held at Beeshton Hall in Staffordshire on May 5, 2021, at 2 p.m.
That was the last time the collection was publicly auctioned.
Daniel was stunned: "How do you know so much?"
Bertie said calmly, "I'll tell you after we catch them."
Only five hundred copies of the first edition of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" were printed.
Of these, very few books actually remained in London, after those that ended up outside of England.
Because this item is a rare gem, its owner will either show it off to friends or post about it on social media.
Once a breakthrough was found, the state apparatus was mobilized, and the information on these owners was investigated very quickly.
After thorough investigation, the suspect became very clear.
