Year 20XX—The earrings from the Tears of the Mermaid appeared at Princeton Auction House in Country Z....
Year 20XX—The earrings from the set were bought by William James at Princeton Auction House....
Year 20XX—The earrings were worn by Bei Sangyun at Tian Shen's Homecoming Dance...
And that was the last entry on the list.
Bei Sangyun paused. She traced back over the list again.
When the Tears of the Mermaid appeared at Princeton Auction House, only the earrings were there. The necklace was gone.
Where had it disappeared to?
The report did not mention where the necklace had gone or what had caused it to suddenly vanish. After all, her intel team's only concern was the earrings.
She hadn't thought much about it before, but after hearing the Cry of the Mermaid, she couldn't help but take an interest.
