But she still held back and just got to the point and said, "Do you want to go to that black market and take a look?"
Huo Yushen nodded: "I came here to ask you to go with me."
He didn't plan to use his own bat fighter as the Chief Inspector of the Special Security Bureau, but instead wanted to borrow Xia Chujian's small bat fighter.
Although he said he "lent" it to Xia Chujian, it now seems that it is not just a loan, but a "gift".
Huo Yushen was so generous that Xia Chujian didn't bother to be polite with him.
The two of them boarded the small bat fighter together and quickly made a space jump.
Fifteen minutes later, they arrived above Chaoruo City, the capital of Shaofu Star.
The two men did not take the Batfighter down with them, but instead parked it in space in stealth.
Then he drove the second-generation mecha down from the sky and arrived at a street near the black market.
Huo Yushen booked two rooms here in advance.
The two men wore human face masks and went to the room to rest first.
They changed into ordinary clothes and changed their appearance before heading to the underground black market in the north.
Along the way, Xia Chujian quietly asked Huo Yushen: "How do you plan to find someone?"
Huo Yushen said: "First, we need to determine whether this item is sold directly by the seller or through someone else."
"If the seller sells directly, it's hard to find them. Because they just leave after the sale, it's hard to leave any clues."
"But if you use a middleman to sell it, it's easy to follow the clues because there's also the issue of subsequent fund transfers."
"In short, the more intermediate links there are, the easier it is to follow the clues."
Xia Chujian nodded and said, "I'm still a little surprised."
"If this thing was really taken from Ying Chenyu twenty years ago, then why did you wait twelve years before secretly selling it on the black market?"
Huo Yushen said: "I have a guess."
Xia Chujian said, "I'd like to hear the details."
Huo Yushen said, "...To put it simply, the person might have suddenly needed money urgently, so he sold it on the black market at a low price."
"It's a little more complicated. That person discovered that the queen also had an identical hairpin."
"He might be scared and doesn't dare to hide this thing in his house anymore."
"So even if it's a low price, we have to sell it quickly."
Xia Chujian said in surprise: "You are amazing!"
"I think both of these possibilities are quite plausible!"
"If it's the former, I think that person's identity should be very ordinary."
"If it's the latter, can we conclude that the person's identity must be extraordinary?"
Because only people of a certain status could see the hairpin on the queen's head with their own eyes.
If you haven't seen the hairpin in person, but only see the picture on the Internet, the feeling is completely different from seeing the real thing.
Because the pictures on StarNet, no matter how high-definition they are, are compressed when they are uploaded, so the resolution is limited, and a lot of picture information is hidden.
Only the picture of the hairpin that the high priest and his wife took out was truly high-definition and uncompressed.
Only then can they determine the relationship between this hairpin and the one worn by the queen.
Ordinary people, if they only look at the pictures on the Star Network, will not have such a deep impression and feelings.
Only those who have owned the real hairpin and then seen the fake hairpin on the queen's head with their own eyes would be terrified and eager to get their hands on this real one.
Xia Chujian's mind raced, and he quickly figured it all out.
She smiled and said, "That's quite interesting..."
The two of them seemed like a pair of harmonious friends, chatting and laughing, and walked into a secluded path.
Then Huo Yushen knocked on a gate, scanned the code presented by the other party, and took Xia Chujian in.
That yard is a base for entering this underground black market.
The entrance is in a room inside the courtyard.
Xia Chujian followed Huo Yushen into a tunnel-like place. After walking for fifteen minutes, they finally saw the bright lights ahead.
Although it is called a "black market" and is underground, it is actually very bright.
Xia Chujian and Huo Yushen stood at the entrance, waiting for someone to lead them in.
A hunchbacked man with an eye patch came over, took a hundred yuan from Huo Yushen, and led them in.
He pointed to the bustling crowd there and said, "The black market is open at irregular intervals."
"Only for an hour at a time."
"Whatever you want to buy, hurry up."
"If you want to sell something, you have to register first."
"The registry office is over there. Someone will give you an appraisal. Pay a handling fee first."
Xia Chujian and Huo Yushen exchanged a glance and immediately said, "I do have something to sell. Is the registration office over there?"
The man nodded and said quickly, "I'll take you there! Can you please tell me later that I was the one who introduced you in?"
Xia Chujian said: "...Why?"
The man said embarrassedly: "Well, if I introduced you here, I can also get some rewards if you sell things..."
That is to say, we will take a commission from the handling fee.
