Mermaid's Tear Disappeared, Captured on the spot

Han Ning tracked the thieves all the way to the exhibition room.

At this moment, there was already a cordon outside the exhibition room. Wang Jing and Jiang Qing were both inside.

When Han Ning saw this scene, he thought that it was not good. It seemed like he had let those thieves have their way.

The previously arrogant Jin Lin was now reprimanding a tall man.

The strong man did not even dare to raise his head after being reprimanded by Jin Lin.

Due to the theft of Mermaid's Tear in the exhibition room and the fact that the electricity in the auction hall had been cut off for 30 seconds, everyone could guess that this had something to do with the Hundred Transformations Godly Thief.

"Team leader!"

Han Ning shouted outside the cordon. After receiving a response, he successfully entered the cordon area.

"How is it? Did you find anything outside?" Wang Jing asked softly.

"The two people who were originally in the auction house must have done something. The five of them were probably well coordinated for the theft to be completed so quickly. I just walked along the route they came from, and there were no traces at all." Han Ning said calmly.

He had been prepared for the worst ever since he learned that the cleaning truck had entered the alley.

The reason why the Hundred Transformations Godly Thief had not been caught for so many years was mainly because of everyone's cognitive biases and the thieves' professionalism.

While Han Ning and Wang Jing were still discussing the case, Jin Lin, who was done scolding, walked over angrily.

"Are you Interpol useless? You can't even do something so simple! Why should we even waste taxpayers' money on you?!"

"Mr. Jin, please watch your words!"

"If you have any complaints about our work, the headquarters opinion box is there for you to make a complaint. However, you are not allowed to insult the police officers for no reason. Please keep this in mind."

Han Ning's gaze was cold as he quietly looked at the man who was cursing without restraint.

He did not say anything heavy, but Jin Lin felt pressured from his gaze.

After being stared at for a long time, Jin Lin finally lost in his imposing manner. He shifted his gaze away and kept mumbling something.

Wang Jing was amazed once again. Han Ning was not like a newbie when it came to dealing with disputes. He was more like an old detective who had worked for many years. It seemed like he had his own set of principles when it came to handling matters.

After sending Jin Lin away, Han Ning and Wang Jing continued to search for useful clues.

However, at this moment, Rom's team followed the original plan and completed their theft.

With the help of the cleaners, the five of them changed into bright and beautiful formal clothes and sneaked into the venue of the party.

Everyone at the party was a tycoon from Hong Kong. The auction for Mermaid's Tear would begin soon, but none of them knew that Mermaid's Tear had been stolen.

Han Ning and the other two didn't find any useful clues in the heavily-guarded storage room, but Han Ning felt like he had already deduced how they did it.

"Han Ning, we're running out of time. The party is about to end because of the theft of the Mermaid's Tear. Those five…"

Wang Jing suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

"Team leader, we still haven't found any conclusive clues," Han Ning frowned and shook his head.

"However, if you trust me, let's arrest them first. We will definitely be able to obtain evidence after conducting the tests." Han Ning looked at Wang Jing and said firmly.

Wang Jing had a conflicted expression on her face. She was afraid that she would alert the enemy, but at the same time, she was worried that she would miss a good opportunity.

However, she was also a decisive person. Without much hesitation, she gritted her teeth and agreed to Han Ning's plan to capture them first.

"Remember, we only have 24 hours at most! It might be even less," Wang Jing added solemnly.

After getting permission to arrest them, Han Ning, Zhou Zhan and Zhang Zhi met at the gate.

The three of them brought four police officers and stood outside the auction house. Once the five of them came out, they would immediately take them back to the police station.

The moment they were surrounded by the police, everyone else had a certain amount of fear on their faces. Only Rom's expression remained unchanged as he got into the car.

In the interrogation room.

Rom looked calm, his face still puzzled.

He didn't even know when the police started targeting the five of them.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that he was brought back to the police station as soon as he left the auction house?

Han Ning narrowed his eyes and looked at Rom who was frowning.

"Should I call you Mr. Rom, or the Hundred Transformations Godly Thief?"

As soon as Han Ning finished speaking, Rom's facial muscles twitched, but he quickly calmed down.

Rom looked up and said, "Mr. Policeman, I don't know what you're talking about, but please give me a reason why you brought me and my friends to the police station."

Han Ning smiled without saying anything. He looked at Rom who was still acting in front of him and was not in a hurry to continue interrogating him.

On the other hand, Jiang Qing, who was taking notes at the side, looked at Han Ning's skillful manner with eyes full of admiration.

Han Ning and Rom stared at each other for a long time. Eventually, Rom couldn't help but sigh.

"Officer, even if we smuggled in illegally, we haven't done anything else that was wrong. At most, you can only deport us."

Han Ning nodded in agreement. The other party was indeed a highly intelligent criminal who knew about the severity of different crimes.

Because Rom's team was brought back to the headquarters as soon as they left the venue, Han Ning believed that Mermaid's Tear was either with them or left at the auction house.

As long as the item was found among them, they would not be able to deny it.

Han Ning was impatient and continued to beat around the bush. They did not have much time. It was best for him to cut the Gordian knot and force the other party to submit quickly.

Han Ning looked up and stared into Rom's eyes as he started to narrate.

"Hundred Transformations Godly Thief has been misunderstood from the very beginning. He is not a person at all, but a team."

Han Ning stared into Rom's eyes, not letting go of any of his expressions.

"For the theft of the Mermaid's Tear this time, the Hundred Transformations Godly Thief had already prepared in advance. They even went back and forth to the auction house to perfect their plan…"

Following Han Ning's explanation, Jiang Qing was completely dumbfounded. She had never thought that this case would be so complicated.

First, the thieves disguised themselves as cleaners and secretly investigated the structure and security of the auction house.

After knowing that there were many mechanisms in Mermaid's Tear's storage room, they arranged for another team member to work in the exhibition hall and cooperate with his companions outside to complete the power outage.

After all, the auction house would need to take about thirty seconds to activate the backup power.

During those thirty seconds, the traps and surveillance in the exhibition hall would be completely ineffective. No matter what the thieves did, they would not be discovered.

After hearing Han Ning's story, Rom was shocked.

He didn't expect Han Ning to be able to recount their complicated plan based on the information he had gathered recently.

However, no matter how right Han Ning was and how surprised Rom was, it was impossible for Rom to admit it. Rom still hid his expression well.

Rom's opponent this time was the most difficult one he had ever encountered since his debut.
