Not long ago, the much-maligned cryptocurrency once again welcomed a new wave of prosperity.
Big names from the investment world have jumped in, frantically hoarding digital coins, which in turn has driven up their prices.
Unlike stocks, cryptocurrency has no upper or lower limits on price fluctuations. As a result, in just one day, the price of cryptocurrency has doubled compared to before, reminiscent of the first wave of its meteoric rise a few years ago.
As cryptocurrency prices soared, more and more people began to take notice. The buzz was no longer confined to the investment world; even ordinary people could see the explosive upward trend.
Those who had missed the chance to make a fortune from cryptocurrency the last time around now entered the market without hesitation.
"I missed out last time, but I can't let it happen again!" With this mindset, the so-called "retail investors" flocked to the market.
In the evening, Xu Mo returned home from work as usual.
While waiting for dinner, he stumbled upon discussions about cryptocurrency surging online.
"Is cryptocurrency about to rise again?" Xu Mo was taken aback.
The system had just rewarded him with 100,000 digital coins, and now the price was skyrocketing. Unbelievable!
What Xu Mo didn’t know was that part of the reason for the rapid surge in cryptocurrency prices was because of him.
His previous investment in Miduo Gaming had caught the attention of some investment giants. These big players also noticed that Xu Mo, a genius investor, had acquired a large amount of cryptocurrency.
When someone with a keen investment eye invests in something that was once legendary, it’s a clear signal!
Thus, the big players followed suit, frantically hoarding cryptocurrency. To secure as much as possible, they were willing to pay above-market prices.
This led to a small spike in cryptocurrency prices. Soon after, retail investors also noticed the upward trend and started buying in.
While retail investors didn’t have the financial power of the big players, their sheer numbers made their combined wealth significant.
Of course, retail investors lacked the boldness of the big players and couldn’t afford to buy too much.
With a flood of capital entering the market and people frantically buying cryptocurrency, the supply couldn’t keep up with demand. Under such circumstances, it was no surprise that prices soared.
In just the time it took to eat a meal, Xu Mo noticed that the price of cryptocurrency had risen by over a hundred dollars.
This was already a staggering increase, and what made it even more remarkable was the sheer amount of cryptocurrency Xu Mo held.
He owned a whopping 100,000 digital coins. With each coin rising by a hundred dollars, his total gain was ten million dollars!
Converted, that’s nearly seventy million yuan.
In the time it took to eat a meal, Xu Mo had made close to a small fortune.
"This is insane. It’s faster than winning the lottery. Lei Busi wasn’t lying—when you’re standing on the wind, even a pig can fly," Xu Mo muttered to himself, staring at his phone screen in disbelief.
With so much cryptocurrency in his hands, Xu Mo was worried about the difficulty of selling it if prices plummeted. Rather than holding onto it and risking losing everything, he decided to sell while the prices were still rising.
That night, he began selling his cryptocurrency in batches on the platform.
Fortunately, the price of cryptocurrency was still rising steadily, and the big players were eager to buy. No matter how much Xu Mo sold, they snapped it all up.
In just one night, Xu Mo sold off the majority of his holdings. He decided to keep a small portion, planning to sell it if the market turned sour. With so little left, he could offload it quickly without getting stuck.
As for whether the big players who bought at the peak could exit unscathed, that was no longer Xu Mo’s concern.
After finishing his transactions, he took a quick shower and slept for a couple of hours before heading to work.
At the police station, Xu Mo habitually checked the price of cryptocurrency again. It was still rising, and the increase was even more dramatic than the day before.
Xu Mo thought to himself that if this crazy trend continued, the bubble would likely burst soon.
After briefly checking the current price, it was time to start work, so Xu Mo put his thoughts aside and focused on his duties.
...
A middle-aged woman walked into the police station.
"I’m here to see Detective Xu. Is he here?"
The officer was momentarily confused but quickly realized, "Detective Xu... do you mean Xu Mo?"
"Yes, yes! That’s him. I’m here to see him," the woman nodded vigorously.
"What do you need from Captain Xu?"
"My husband and daughter were murdered seven years ago, and the real killer is still at large. I’ve come to ask Detective Xu to help me seek justice!"
Hearing this, the officer didn’t ask further questions. He stood up, said, "Please wait a moment," and went to fetch Xu Mo and Han Fei.
When they arrived, Han Fei and Xu Mo greeted the woman and prepared to ask her some questions.
However, the woman ignored Han Fei and spoke directly to Xu Mo.
"Detective Xu, you must help me seek justice!"
Feeling slightly awkward, Han Fei rubbed his nose and gestured for Xu Mo to take over the questioning.
Xu Mo turned to the woman.
"Don’t worry, we’ll do everything we can to help. Please tell us what you know."
Under Xu Mo’s questioning, the woman began to explain.
She had come to the police station because she believed only Xu Mo could help her.
Seven years ago, her husband and daughter were brutally murdered. The case was highly complex, and it took the police two years to catch the killer. However, the arrested man claimed he was only an accomplice and that his older brother was the mastermind.
The problem was that the two brothers had gone their separate ways after the crime. The accomplice who was caught didn’t know where his brother was, and the police had been unable to locate the mastermind.
According to the law, without the mastermind’s arrest, the case couldn’t be closed, and the killer couldn’t be sentenced. Thus, the killer remained at large.
The woman had repeatedly protested at the local police station, demanding that the killer be brought to justice, but the police always used the same excuse to dismiss her.
Having lost faith in the local police, she had heard about the famous detective Xu Mo and decided to seek his help in righting this wrong.
