American comics: Loot from the heavens!

"I still have a lot of work to do today, how about another day?"

Failure to agree is rejection.

"Okay, I'm busy today too."

Barbara was sensible and found a reason for herself.

At this time, a somewhat obese woman came over and asked:

"Diana, do you know who Barbara Minerva is?"

Hearing this, Barbara paused, feeling really bad about being ignored.

However, in order to avoid greater embarrassment, Barbara answered before Diana.

"Hello, Carol, it's me, I'm Barbara, remember? You hired me, and I just started working last week."

Following Barbara's words, the fat woman Carol reacted quickly.

"Gemologist."

"Yes, a zoologist too, we interviewed several times"

"Yes."

After a few polite words to ease the embarrassment, Carol got down to business.

"The FBI will be dropping off some items this afternoon."

"Investigation Bureau? Are they coming here?"

Barbara was immediately surprised.

"Yes, for the robbery in the mall yesterday, it was said that the jewelry store was a front."

"What cover?" Diana couldn't help but ask.

Because it was the gangster she solved yesterday.

"They are a black market, selling stolen jewelry and art to private buyers."

While explaining, Carol looked at Barbara

"Because there is something I can't figure out, so I need your help in identifying it."

"need me?"

Barbara was startled for a moment, and then immediately became happy.

"Okay, I'm willing to help the Investigation Bureau and do my best."

"So you agreed?"

"Yes, I agreed."

"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

After saying that, Carol left resolutely.

"have a good time."

After leaving these words, Diana also left.

Seeing this, Barbara packed her things, handled her work, and started waiting.

Time soon came to the afternoon, and the people from the Investigation Bureau sent all the stolen goods to the museum for identification.

A house was set aside specifically to house these stolen goods.

Barbara performs classification and identification.

After looking for a long time, she didn't find anything unknown.

Most of the things here are rare on the market, but for a professional like her, it's not a mystery.

Just as she was about to continue checking, Diana came over.

She gestured to a silver necklace.

"This is the Queen of Siam, originally found in the wreckage of the Lady Akator."

Seeing Diana's very skilled look, Barbara was suddenly startled.

"Sorry, I couldn't help but want to come and take a look."

"fine."

Barbara turned around and continued her identification.

When she opened a box and saw the stone crystal inside, Barbara's expression changed.

"found it."

"What is it?"

Barbara carefully identified it and even used a magnifying glass to look at the words on the iron ring surrounding the crystal, but she still couldn't tell the origin of the crystal.

"I can't see it."

"This is a stone that has been widely used in counterfeiting since ancient times. I think this thing is worth at most $75."

Barbara shared her analysis.

"How about you come and take a look?"

"It's not my expertise to identify counterfeit items, but you can take a look."

Taking the crystal stone from Barbara's hand, Diana looked at it carefully.

Soon, she saw a clue.

The writing on the hoop is in Latin.

Barbara was a little surprised that Diana knew Latin.

"Of course, languages ​​are my passion."

She knows hundreds of languages.

Then, they talked about the citrine again.

"It's an antique at least. Maybe I bought it at a stall on the Ponte Vecchio in Florence last week. Who knows?"

Diana said humorously.

Looking closely at the text, Diana translated it.

"Take this and you can make a wish."

"Really? If this were true, would you make a wish?"

"No way."

Diana put the citrine down.

Now she has no regrets or anything special, so she naturally won't make a wish.

"I'm sorry to bother you. If you need anything, you can always come to me."

Originally, she was worried that the stolen goods contained any dangerous items, but now that there were none, Diana was ready to leave.

"It's okay, thank you just now."

"It doesn't matter, this is my job." Diana thought Barbara was thanking her for helping identify the items.

However, that was not what Barbara was grateful for.

"Thank you for talking to me."

As soon as the words came out, Barbara laughed to herself.

"I'm so sorry, I'm talking nonsense again."

Because she was a bit clumsy, Barbara was always discriminated against and almost no one talked to her or helped her.

Seeing the other person's lonely look, Diana hesitated.

In the end, she relented and took the initiative to speak.

"Maybe we can go have dinner early and talk about how boring this rock is."

"Really?" Barbara suddenly beamed with joy.

"Of course, who can this piece of citrine scare?"

"Yeah, this crystal is super boring."

While chatting, the two left the office and went to a restaurant for dinner.

The two women chatted at the dinner table, and Barbara complained to Diana that many people said bad things about her behind her back.

Those people thought she didn't know, but in fact she heard everything clearly.

At the same time, Barbara also envied Diana's popularity, and her life seemed easy and happy.

In this regard, Diana could only comfort her.

"My life may not be as good as you said. We all have our own difficulties."

In daily life, it is also very hard to work hard to hide your identity.

Moreover, she also acts chivalrously from time to time.

She wasn't doing so well.

Of course, you can't tell Barbara these things clearly.

After that, the two talked about men's issues again.

Barbara asks Diana if she has ever been in love.

Luo Ming's figure suddenly appeared in Diana's mind.

"Of course, I have a great boyfriend."

"…………"

Diana briefly talked about their happy life.

Barbara felt uncomfortable after hearing this.

She has low self-esteem due to unpopularity and other factors.

From the bottom of her heart, she wanted to be like Diana, live under the light and gain everyone's attention.

However, this can only be thought about.

After finishing their meal, the two women left the restaurant and prepared to go home.

Just when the two of them walked to the door, they found someone waiting for them.

Before Barbara could speak, Diana spoke first.

"How did you come?"

"Introduction, this is my boyfriend, Luo Ming."

Barbara was startled and looked at Luo Ming, who had black hair, dark eyes, a tall, slender figure, and handsome figure. She finally came to her senses.

"Hello, my name is Barbara."
