Ying Wuxin's mouth twitched and he forced a smile.
In Xia Chujian's opinion, the smile was not as stunning as before.
What appeared in her mind now was Ying Chenyu's face.
She didn't need to cry or laugh, or make any expression, she was already stunningly beautiful.
Unfortunately, it has become a thing of the past.
The most unremaining thing in this world is a beauty like jade and a sword like a rainbow.
…
When I came out of the club, the lights were already on.
Xia Chujian looked up and saw the lights in the city, which were like stars in the sky, shining and beautiful.
She said with emotion: "It seems like this is the first time I have seen the night of the imperial capital from such a close distance."
Huo Yushen glanced at him and said, "Come to my house for dinner?"
Xia Chujian said: "Let's go solve the case right away, and just take some high-quality nutrient solution."
Huo Yushen: "..."
He felt quite regretful.
For him, solving the case this time was secondary.
Xia Chujian said, "Go to my little bat fighter and show you something."
The two boarded Huo Yushen's ordinary civilian aircraft and returned to Xia Chujian's villa in the villa area near the Empire's First Military Academy.
Xia Chu saw the small bat fighter parked in the hangar of the villa.
Of course, the size has been switched to that of an ordinary aircraft.
Xia Chujian didn't even go into the house, but went straight back into the small bat fighter.
After going up, Xia Chujian took out the hairpin with the inscription "Phoenix Roaring in the Nine Springs" and placed it in front of Huo Yushen.
Huo Yushen was obviously surprised.
He recognized it immediately. Wasn't this the hairpin mentioned in the quest clue, the one that was said to be lost?!
He hurriedly wrapped his palm with the mecha, picked up the hairpin, put on the mecha eyepiece, and carefully inspected the hairpin.
After some manipulation, he looked at Xia Chujian intently and said, "This thing has a history of nearly five thousand years."
“It’s definitely a historic site.”
"The techniques and skills of jade carving also come from the most famous jade carving masters 5,000 years ago."
"Is this the hairpin that was lost during that mission?"
Xia Chujian said, "Besides these, don't you think this hairpin looks a little familiar?"
"Do you remember seeing this hairpin on someone else's head?"
Huo Yushen: "..."
I have no idea on whom I've seen this hairpin before.
If it weren't for this person's mission, he would have specifically looked through the clues provided by the mission.
To be honest, regarding the lost hairpin, at first, when he saw that it was the only piece of evidence and was lost, he felt it was quite strange.
Why would the person who issued the task suddenly take out a lost hairpin and say it was a clue to the case?
Now that I think about it, this should be the only strong clue and evidence produced by the task issuer - the high priest and his wife.
Then the question comes back again.
Why did the high priest and his wife think that this lost hairpin was an important piece of evidence and clue?
Huo Yushen looked at Xia Chujian and asked inquiringly, "Where did you get this hairpin? Do you know how much it's worth?"
Xia Chujian asked, "How much is it? It can't be worth hundreds of millions, right?"
In her opinion, this hairpin might be worth tens of millions at most?
No matter how good it is, it's just a jade hairpin.
Huo Yushen said, "This is a hairpin carved by Master Lu five thousand years ago. Needless to say, the jade quality and the carving are absolutely top-notch."
"And it looks like it has a very prominent history."
"That makes it a very valuable antique."
"And the starting price for this kind of antique that's five thousand years old is one billion."
"If I bid on it, I might be able to get 10 billion in the end."
"That is to say, even if you don't solve the case and just sell this hairpin, you can still get 10 billion."
"Have you ever thought about selling it?"
Xia Chujian was dumbfounded: "So expensive?! Can it really be sold for 10 billion?!"
"I'm not well educated, so don't try to fool me!"
Huo Yushen said: "If you don't believe me, I will contact the auction house anonymously and ask them to estimate the price."
"We don't need a public auction, we'll use an anonymous auction."
Xia Chujian hurriedly shook his head and said, "No need for that... This thing is not mine."
"I can't just sell it like this."
Huo Yushen said, "Then do you want to return it to Ying Wuxin?"
Xia Chujian blinked: "This hairpin belongs to Aunt Ying Wuxin, not Ying Wuxin."
"Can Ying Wuxin inherit her aunt's inheritance?"
Huo Yushen said: "If Ying Chenyu didn't have a will and no other biological descendants, then Ying Wuxin can inherit her estate."
Xia Chujian sighed and said, "Then I'll return it to her after the case is solved."
Huo Yushen looked at her deeply.
Such a money-grubber, yet he remained unmoved by such a huge fortune...
His tone became gentler, and he said, "You just asked me on whose head I had seen this hairpin..."
"I used a quantum optical computer and searched for pictures on StarNet."
“As a result, I found some interesting content.”
Huo Yushen indeed found the content about the "Fengming Jiutian" hairpin on Starnet, and also found the posts that might have been posted anonymously by Ying Wuxin.
The last post is about the hairpin that Queen Li Fengen wore on her head a few days ago!
The hairpin that Xia Chujian took out was obviously different in shape from the one with the pattern of "Phoenix Singing in the Nine Heavens".
But it is exactly the same hairpin as the one on Queen Li Fengen's head!
Huo Yushen also retrieved videos in which Queen Li Fengen appeared. Of course, they were all those videos publicly released by the royal official account on Starnet.
