"Really? You're really willing to help me complete the filming?" Xu Qianqian asked excitedly.
"Yes, I am." Luo Chao answered straightforwardly.
"Then let's start with the search for the Blood Diamonds! If we encounter danger or need you to fight, you'll put on your handsome armor and take down all the enemies, and I'll be responsible for capturing your heroic moments! But, you better keep me safe!" Xu Qianqian hurriedly said.
"Even if you didn't say it, I would protect you." Luo Chao nodded and said.
Hearing this, Xu Qianqian extended her pinky finger and hooked it with Luo Chao's, saying, "Words are not enough; you must make a pact with me, just like the contract I signed with the newspaper!"
Luo Chao smiled at this and extended his pinky finger to link with Xu Qianqian's.
"Alright, the contract is signed, and you must adhere to it!" Xu Qianqian was very happy after making the pact.
Meanwhile, Luo Chao began to recall what the tall white man nicknamed "Hungry Wolf" had said the night before.
"The one-eyed Rogers and Adams who rushed to the scene did not find any trace of the diamonds on the fat black man's body." Luo Chao murmured to himself.
Suddenly, Luo Chao seemed to think of something and said to Xu Qianqian in front of him, "The corpse? The fat black man's body? But I remember I didn't kill that fat black man because he and that white guy with the green hat both lost their fighting capability on the ground."
"That fat black man, right! I was right next to him at that time. I remember the fat black man's nickname was Big Black, and back then he was knocked out by that white guy with the green hat he was with! After that, they had an internal fight, and the other two black men beat up that white guy with the green hat!" Xu Qianqian also started recalling the scene from that day.
"And when I watched the news that night, it seemed like the news report didn't mention finding a white man's body at the scene, nor did it mention any white men getting injured, it only said multiple black men were shot." Luo Chao found a clue.
"So, why was the only person I didn't kill, one of the two who lost their fighting capability on the ground, found dead, and the other one seemed to disappear? Could it be..." Luo Chao's eyes suddenly lit up, "the white guy with the green hat took the diamonds and took the chance to kill the fat black man!"
Luo Chao came to a shocking conclusion!
"It must be like this, Luo Chao you're so smart!" Xu Qianqian gave Luo Chao a thumbs up.
"Hey, you don't have to praise me like that, I just made a simple deduction based on the clues I had." Luo Chao said, embarrassedly rubbing his head.
"Then let's go find that white guy with the green hat! But, New York is so big, where do you find just any white guy?" Xu Qianqian thought about it and got a headache again.
Luo Chao patted her little head, then said, "That's because you're looking too closely, and the closer you are, the less you see."
"What do you mean, don't keep talking these profound words, I don't understand!" Xu Qianqian felt an even bigger headache.
"Are you only going to find that white guy with the green hat? I can say, in the entire New York or even the whole United States, there are so many white men, trying to find a normal white guy with no distinctive facial features among them is harder than reaching the sky." Luo Chao laughed.
"Then how do you suggest finding him!?" Xu Qianqian asked impatiently.
Seeing her like this, Luo Chao stopped keeping her guessing and smiled, "Think about it, that white guy with the green hat stole smuggled diamonds from Africa — Blood Diamonds, right? Diamonds are valuable, but they can't be eaten. So what would he do? He'd definitely exchange the diamonds for US dollars! And since they're a batch of smuggled diamonds, it's not realistic to sell them at a legitimate jewelry store."
"He'd definitely take them to the underground trade market, right!" Xu Qianqian immediately came to her own conclusion listening to Luo Chao's analysis.
"No, no, no, getting to this point just shows your IQ is better than average, turning two corners. But a real detective doesn't rely solely on logical deduction to make a conclusion; they combine all the information available in the case for a further judgment." Luo Chao hit Xu Qianqian's confidence again.
"Ah, hurry up and tell!" Xu Qianqian finally lost her patience upon hearing this.
"I wanted to say that you interrupted me." Luo Chao joked.
Xu Qianqian lowered her head in embarrassment after hearing this.
"Your earlier analysis wasn't wrong; taking smuggled diamonds to the underground trade market is surely a wise choice. But before this, think about who holds the ownership of the diamonds the white guy with the green hat has?"
"One is New York City's biggest black gang, African Anaconda, and the other is the city's largest underground power, White Fox. Holding the stolen diamonds from them and selling them at the underground market was looking for death, wasn't it?" Luo Chao continued his deductions.
"So he would definitely choose a third party that's neither a legitimate business nor part of New York's underground forces."
"Then, who's the third party? It's the West African Patriot anti-government armed forces who recently came to the United States to sell diamonds!" Listening to Luo Chao's deductions, Xu Qianqian deeply admired Luo Chao to the fullest.
Then she carefully asked, fearing Luo Chao might say she was wrong, "Are you saying he sold the diamonds back at a low price?"
"That's right! The West African Patriots have already made money once by selling diamonds, and they are about to leave the United States, so with such a good opportunity to buy back what they sold at a low price, how could they miss it?"
"In this way, the West African Patriots can recoup their costs for the next sale, and since they are about to leave the United States, they aren't afraid of the New York gang's retaliation, so I can say, this resale and purchase will be 100% complete!" Luo Chao finally stated his final conclusion.
"So, as long as we find the West African Patriots, we can find that batch of missing diamonds and that white guy with the green hat!" Xu Qianqian said excitedly.
"But, do you know where the West African Patriots are now?"
Luo Chao pointed to his head and said, "There's nothing I don't know."
Xu Qianqian looked at Luo Chao with eyes full of admiration, as if he had transformed into a contemporary Sherlock Holmes, thinking, "He must have used his amazing deduction skills to find the West African Patriots' location!"
