Zh: 梅琳点头，她表示严格的安全程序是关键，但也意识到一个新的视角可能会带来突破。
En: Mei Lin nodded, acknowledging that strict security measures were key, but also realizing that a new perspective might bring a breakthrough.

Zh: 强强思考着：“或许我可以利用我对游客的熟悉，找出谁可能与此事有关。”
En: Qiang Qiang pondered, "Maybe I can use my familiarity with the tourists to find out who might be involved in this."

Zh: 调查随着日落进入高潮。
En: The investigation reached a climax as the sun set.

Zh: 假线索层出不穷，让贾浩感到沮丧，但他从未放弃。

Zh: 原来它是被故宫前的看守者藏起来，以防止政治劫夺。

Zh: 贾浩终于找回了文物，他充满感激地看向梅琳和强强。

Zh: 并肩站立的三人心中都无比满足。
En: The three, standing shoulder to shoulder, felt immensely satisfied in their hearts.
