Chapter 48 The flow of gems

When Jack said that the person who gave him the gem was Miss Yanzi, neither Lu Yuan nor Su Mei could remember who Miss Yanzi was.

But even so, it's finally time to leave.

Lu Yuan and Su Mei simply handled the scene and said that they were dealing with it. The gems all over the ground were really futile. So far, Lu Yuan and Su Mei had no time to determine whether these flesh and blood gems were as contagious as cursed gems. However, even if there were, the two of them could not handle so many gems for the time being. They just put the amethyst inlaid on the cane into a plastic bag prepared in advance and sealed it multiple layers, and then took Jack down the match factory.

Because Jack only talks about Miss Swallow for the moment.

Who is Miss Yanzi? It is still a process that requires a long time to think about.

When I walked out of the match factory, I could see Mary who had been waiting there anxiously, her shadow was pulled long under the setting sun.

Seeing Jack come out, Mary couldn't help but rush over: "What happened to you inside? I'm almost worried about you."

When Jack was hugged by Mary, he couldn't help but look at Su Mei, and then saw Su Mei shaking her head to him. Jack understood: "It's nothing, but these two gentlemen and ladies have really helped me a lot."

"And why did you come back suddenly?" Jack asked.

"They said there was a big problem with the gem you gave me, so they wanted to come back and find out the origin of the gem." Mary said truthfully: "Sorry, I told them that the sapphire was given to me by you."

Now Jack already knew that the gems handed over to him by Miss Swallow is a very dangerous gem that may spread diseases and curses. His first reaction was to look at Mary: "So, are you showing any symptoms?"

Mary shook her head.

Jack sighed, then turned to look at Lu Yuansumei: "I'm so sorry, I'll go back and call the person I distributed the gems first and ask them whereabouts of these gems."

Lu Yuan and Su Mei nodded.

Next, the four of them returned to the square with small fountains on Lambes Street, but this time there was no chasing the children around the square.

Jack pursed his lips, then stuffed his hands into his mouth and whistled a long whistle, sharply cutting through the sunset sky. Then, from the far side, children wearing shabby clothes began to run towards the small square from alleys and houses on Lambes Street.

"Jack!"

"Jack."

"Brother Jack."

"Jack, you're fine."

When they saw Jack, they ran to greet Jack. These children were big and small, men and women, but without exception, they all showed their trust in Jack.

Of course, some people also saw Mary beside Jack, and those who had scolded Mary's traitors before.

"Jack, how could you be with Mary?"

"Jack, do you know what Mary did?"

"Mary told the matter privately."

There were about a dozen of these children, and they spoke around Jack.

Lu Yuan stood not far away and looked at Jack and Mary surrounded by children.

Then he heard Jack wave to him.

Lu Yuan and Su Mei looked at each other, then walked towards Jack.

Their approaching caused panic to these children.

After all, they are adults.

And he still looks very identifiable.

This made these poor children feel a crisis.

"I'll introduce it to you." Jack reached out to Lu Yuan and Su Mei: "This is Mr. Lu Yuan, this is Miss Lu Yao."

"They are the most famous detectives in Beckland. They run a large detective office in the city. I came back here thanks to their help." Jack said to everyone, gesturing.

Then he paused and thought for a moment.

"They came to Lambes Street to investigate the whereabouts of a batch of precious gems, which were robbed by a group of thieves, and then distributed to me part of them. I mistakenly distributed these gems to everyone."

When Jack said this, the child below exploded.

"Jack, that's not what you said at the time."

"Jack, will you cause us to jail?"

"But we have sold the gems and can't find them back now."

"Are they here to catch us?"

Lu Yuan watched the children gradually fall into panic, and he couldn't help but cough twice, and walked up to look at everyone, attracting their attention: "We are not here to catch you."

Lu Yuan said straight to the point.

"You who do not know are innocent, and the gem is no longer in your hands."

"What I want to know now is just who have you sold those gems?"

Through the comfort of Luyuan, the children finally calmed down. Under Jack's guidance, they told the whereabouts of the gems they had obtained.

In fact, because most of these children are poor, such precious gems cannot be eaten or drunk, and they are of no use to them. So after getting the gems, they quickly took off the gems and exchanged them for money and food. In fact, the price they sold for gems is less than one percent of their own value, or even one thousandth of them.

Of course, the good news is that none of them have held these gems for a long time, so they are basically not infected by gems.

This also proves the original inference between Lu Yuan and Su Mei, that is, the infection thresholds between different people are different.

But the bad news is that these children have a variety of ways to sell gems, some are entrusted to their parents for sale, some are sold to grocery stores, some are similar to Jack's debt repayment, and some are directly cheated out like Mary.

And the most fatal thing is that, from their description, the people who bought these gems are basically some second-hand dealers. They will not hold these gems for a long time, but will continue to pass them upwards.

Only people like the Viscountess are qualified to be the ultimate holder of the gem.

This also means that the hardest hit areas of these cursed gems may have occurred in the noble class of Beckland.

This made Lu Yuan and Su Mei feel a little worried.

After recording the flow of gems one by one even though I understood it was useless, Lu Yuan and Su Mei followed Jack to a pharmacy near Lambes Street Square.

"I've seen that Miss Swallow here a few times." Jack introduced.
