"One of the ten bronze heads of Yuanmingyuan Garden appears in the museum office"
"The National Museum received an anonymous donation, which was the lost bronze head from the Old Summer Palace"
Welcome Home! The Mysterious Journey of the Sheep Head Returning
This piece of news has basically dominated the news recently. In addition to being happy that another bronze head has returned, people are also curious about how the thing appeared in the museum.
It is said that the surveillance cameras in the museum did not capture anyone carrying the cardboard box, but the bronze head appeared in the office mysteriously.
Who did it? Where did it come from? Why do donors have to keep it secret
The answer is simple.
It was done by Jian Jing, and it was sent by the commission system. She remained anonymous because she didn't want to draw too much attention - after all, this was something that Zi Shu had paid the cost of his life to snatch from Chen Long, and she just gave it a push in the end.
However, killing and stealing collections is understandable, but it is not worth promoting.
So, she simply didn't show up, so that people wouldn't wonder how she did it.
She didn't have this thing on her when she got off the boat.
Even Zong Ye probably couldn't have imagined that, although she didn't lie to him, the bronze-headed beast was still sitting safely in the storage compartment.
As for how to deliver it, she didn't know.
The system collected 10 special contribution points and transferred them to the other party without anyone noticing. She also watched the surveillance video, but found no clues.
It is probably a high-dimensional black technology, and it will be beneficial to study it in depth.
After finishing the work, Jian Jing calculated the expenses.
Years later, he assisted Jiang Baiyan in escaping danger, and was rewarded with 10 points for bravery. He also solved the inheritance case, but was also rewarded with 10 points for bravery (the system becomes more and more stingy as time goes by).
The yacht secret room murder case is a mission, 20 points of courage, hiding the bronze head and returning it to the museum, triggering a hidden side mission, and rewarding 20 special contribution points.
And what about the expenses
3 one-time identification cards, 15 points gone.
I used Zongye's skill and 5 points were gone.
10 points for express delivery fee, half the profit.
In order to avoid Chen Long's cross-border lawsuit, 7 million was lost.
Jian Jing decided to stay quiet. The house was still being renovated anyway, so it wouldn't be too late to prepare after everything was done. It wouldn't be long before Devil's 3 was released, and there would be new royalties by then.
However, good people will be rewarded.
The Rooster gave her a pair of 19th century table lamps, the Sheep gave her an antique magnifying glass, and the Monkey sent her a painting, saying explicitly or implicitly that they were compensating her for her loss and asking her to convey her gratitude to the donor.
The gift was not expensive, so Jian Jing accepted it. Then she resolutely played dumb and said, "I don't know who found it either."
Everyone: “Yeah.”
Mr. Gu was more direct. He transferred 300,000 yuan into her account, saying it was the commission fee.
Jian Jing: “…” I never expected that.
She decided to invite Kang Mucheng and Si Yingjie, who had just returned, to dinner.
Si Yingjie felt very sympathetic: "Poor Jingjing, she didn't make much money, but she still treated us to a meal. Please do it next time, ah."
Jian Jing: You are dreaming.
She had just solved two cases and accumulated two "delicious bites of death". Her tentative goal was to collect three and make a big meal to reward her children.
Three dishes are not enough for a treat.
"Okay." Kang Mucheng was very flattering. He was not picky about food and clothing. "It's rare that Jingjing is happy."
Si Yingjie: "What are you so happy about? You ran into a murder case when you were out having fun?"
Jian Jing rolled her eyes at him: "Commission fee, I think I can develop a side business in the future."
"That will definitely bring in a lot of money." Si Yingjie said.
She: “Is this a blessing or a curse?”
"These are good wishes." Si Yingjie sighed, "In this world, incidents happen all the time, murder, revenge, attack, rape... There are many people crying and few laughing. You can get some compensation in such a bad luck, which is a blessing in disguise."
Jian Jingdeng was very surprised. She didn't expect that he could say such philosophical words.
She was curious: "Did you and Leo have a smooth skiing trip?"
"I almost encountered an avalanche." Si Yingjie said, "Luckily I was lazy that day and got up three hours late. I was called back just after I left the house."
"Where's the penguin?"
He laughed: "I brought you a penguin doll and will send it to your home later."
Jian Jing: "... I don't want a doll."
"You can't sell live penguins." He frowned, "And Mucheng said you like dolls very much."
Jian Jing: “???” Suddenly her reputation was damaged.
Kang Mucheng: "I didn't say that."
Jian Jing glared angrily.
Si Yingjie laughed and teased her: "By the way, how about the handsome guy you sent me the other day?"
"Who?" Jian Jing thought about it and then remembered, "He..."
She hesitated to speak, Kang Mucheng and Si Yingjie exchanged glances.
Kang Mucheng looked reproachful: What are you doing
Si Yingjie said confidently: It’s all about my friends.
"Strong on the outside, but weak on the inside." Jian Jing found a euphemism to describe it, "Just take a look at it."
Si Yingjie: "What? Is this the end?"
"End what? Death penalty? Probably not." Jian Jing pondered, "He doesn't seem to be a native of this country. He might be extradited and spend a few years in prison? I don't understand foreign laws."
Si Yingjie choked up and asked after a long while: "Did you send him to jail?"
"And his girlfriend," she added.
Si Yingjie: “…”
After the small talk, it was time to work. Yes, Kang Mucheng started talking to Jian Jing about the release of "Devil 3" whenever he had time.
"The review results are out, and some of the descriptions are too violent. You can go back and make some changes." He said, "We'd better put it on the shelves in May. Also, I have found a translator and have started translating 3. You can talk to him and see if there is anything he wants to change."
Jian Jing: “…Oh.”
At the end of April, "Devil's 3" went into printing. Jian Jing got the sample book early and posted it on Weibo as a preview.
Finally, the painful work for every author began.
sign.
Ten thousand.
Jian Jing: Kill me.
Thick piles of signature papers were piled up at home, like a mountain. Kang Mucheng gave her a box of signature pens and asked her to sign them slowly, as they had to be submitted in May anyway.
She had to write furiously at home, but after writing so much, she didn't even know how to write the two words "简静" (simple and quiet); it looked like a ghost's handwriting.
After feeling dizzy and dazed for several days, he finally completed the work with his extraordinary perseverance.
The printing factory was already waiting for her to deliver the work, and once they got the signed paper, they immediately started binding and laminating it. And with her current popularity, the factory's production line basically only serves "Devil Doctor 3".
The workers had to work overtime and overnight, and had to be under strict surveillance to prevent the plot from being leaked before it went on sale.
After printing is completed, the new books truly begin their journey. They will be sent to bookstores or warehouses across the country, waiting to be put on the shelves.
Previously, several rounds of warm-up have been carried out online.
Raffles, gift giving, pre-sales, etc. I'm very busy.
Jian Jing is at home enjoying the air conditioning.
It's hard to believe that we already need to turn on the air conditioner in early May. I don't know how the temperature suddenly soared to 30 degrees. It was so hot that people felt dizzy, as if we had suddenly entered midsummer.
So, all the spring dresses were thrown out and the wardrobe was replaced with summer clothes for the new season.
On May 10th, "Devil Doctor 3" was released.
Jiahui is a senior this year. She has been addicted to "The Devil Doctor" since college. She has become a loyal fan of Jian Jing and buys every new book she publishes.
Although her internship tasks were heavy today, she still took some time out during her lunch break to go to a bookstore near the company and grab a copy of "Devil Doctor 3".
Turning the title page, she couldn't help but cheer: "I got a signed copy! Lucky!"
She flipped through the book happily, and suddenly realized something was different. She said, "The book is different this time. Is it flipping back and forth? It's interesting."
I was only 60% interested, but when I saw the new book with a special binding, my appetite was immediately whetted.
She took some time out of her busy schedule and quickly finished reading the devil's story.
It still has the familiar flavor and the plot is still of the same standard.
Jiahui was neither too surprised nor disappointed, but was just curious about what the story of the negative hunter would be like.
I really want to get off work quickly. I must finish reading this book tonight. I won’t be able to sleep if I don’t.

The otaku Yiwen is eighteen years old now, and is still a social animal. His biggest interest is still buying comics and figurines, which has not changed.
The only difference is that he has a girlfriend.
My girlfriend is a fan of Jian Jing’s books. We met on a forum, and later met in person and started dating. Our relationship is stable, but we have no intention of getting married yet.
Now, the two of them moved in to live together, raised a cat, and lived a very leisurely life.
After get off work today, Yiwen collapsed on the sofa: "I'm so hungry, when will dinner be delivered?" He and his girlfriend are both busy, so they basically don't cook and rely on takeout to survive.
"Ah!" The girlfriend looked up suddenly, "I forgot to order takeout."
Yiwen scratched his head: "What are you looking at? Oh, Devil 3 is here?"
"Yes, go ahead and yell. I want to finish this story." My girlfriend buried her head in her reading. "The plot this time is particularly interesting."
Yiwen: "Let me see."
"I'll give it to you after I finish reading it. By the way, I started with Demons, so you can start with Hunters." The girlfriend arranged it clearly, "This way we can discuss the details."
Yiwen muttered "mystification", but after dinner, he still sat obediently on the sofa and started reading from the back.
As the night deepens, thousands of lights are lit.
This book, this story, is the best comfort for everyone after a tired day.

Uncle Bing, who has millions of followers on his public account and is a big name in reading on Weibo, took his wife and children on a trip abroad this year.
Traveling during the Golden Week was exhausting. After finally returning home, he collapsed on the bed and couldn't move for several days.
My wife asked, "Are you going to finish your manuscript today? Don't be lazy. Our daughter's tuition is all depending on you."
"Write." Uncle Bing had been lying on the ground for a few days, and his health bar was full. He sat back in his familiar chair and turned on the reading light. "I took a break these few days just to read Jian Jing's new book today."
My wife doesn’t like reading, she likes watching TV series, but she remembered this name: “Is it the author of Rose Gold? Is this also a love story?”
"Reasoning." Uncle Bing opened the brand new "Devil Doctor 3" and first looked at the quality of the book as a whole, including the gold stamping, binding and the gram weight of the paper, and nodded secretly.
Jian Jing is worthy of being Jinwu's top writer. The quality of her physical books has always been high. This year, she had a special binding and there were no problems. The pages of the book were also designed with patterns.
Turning the pages, the rustling sound of the papers opening and closing is pleasant to the ear.
The appearance is acceptable.
Uncle Bing opened the book and saw a dedication on the title page - for book bloggers like him, publishing houses would send them books to review and with special autographs.
The story begins.
His expression changed from anticipation to seriousness, gradually he focused and began to think, changing his face in the middle and reading slowly, occasionally saying "So that's it", "I said I've heard of it", "It's quite interesting".
His wife didn't disturb him and went to play games.
At 11 o'clock, she was getting ready to go to bed. She went to the study to take a look and asked, "Do you want to read it tomorrow?"
"I'm going to stay up all night tonight," he said without turning his head.
My wife became curious: "Is it so beautiful?"
"It's worth writing about." Uncle Bing lit up a cigarette and opened the document in his notebook. "Go to sleep. Don't worry about me."
"take care."
"knew."
My wife closed the door and the study returned to silence.
Uncle Bing stood by the window, finished a cigarette, and his brain, which had been racing because of the plot, gradually calmed down. He sat in front of the computer, tapped the keyboard, and typed out the title of a new article.
