Chapter 71 Photo
As expected, these guys are not simply involved in the robbery case, they are deliberately causing trouble and creating obstacles.
The Excellency they are talking about is probably the culprit who instigated them to do this. I am not sure if it is Speaker Grant, and I don’t know if the fourth person in the city council can influence the Rangers. that power.
The gentleman in the frame must be the mastermind behind the scenes. It seems that they and the mountain people are not on the same road. Yes, the mountain people are clearly opposed to the tunnel, but this group of people behave more like they support the construction of the tunnel. Let’s divide it like this for now.
Lin Qi's brain was spinning rapidly, and the conversation of the few people just now was repeated over and over again in his mind, trying to taste every word they said. According to them, Maya and the eerie King of Bones, Moore Dikian made the connection, the so-called hearing its whispers, which was probably why she was also transforming into a ghoul.
It seems that for this reason, she has become important to the mountain people, and the rangers and the mastermind side are now looking for her.
What did those ghouls want to do to her? It wasn't Mordiggian who wanted to sacrifice her to them. What about the Rangers? Using Maya as a gift in exchange for benefits?
It seems that it is right to wait for the news temporarily. Let’s find out their purpose first. Otherwise, although I am a useless detective, I can’t work for free. Let me help you for free. Find Maya, I'm afraid there's something wrong with your brains, she's my fellow sufferer who has the same problem, you must give her money!
Amusing himself in his heart, Lynch quickly rummaged through the Ranger's office. He did not expect to find the order left by the instigator for the Ranger. This secret connection was mysterious. If they can leave written evidence for their behavior of deliberately interfering with the Royal Secret Service's case handling, then these people are not worth caring about. These people must have attached great importance to confidentiality. Lynch even suspected that the fire in the data room that afternoon was caused by these people in order to destroy the contents in the railroad incident files that could kill Downey.
But after searching around, I actually found something.
A photo of a young lady.
Even black and white photos cannot hide the charm of portraits.
Even if you look at it from the perspective of your hometown, the lady above is still quite beautiful.
Wearing traditional aristocratic lady costumes and feather hats, you are greeted with grace and nobility.
Lynch remembered this face. He had seen it once in the city hall a few days ago. It was the photo of the eldest daughter of the noble Valente family.
Turning over the photo, there were words written on the back.
Diana de Valente, 22 years old, Sister of Passion, Level 2 in Power.
The eldest daughter of the Valente family. This family is suspected to have a close relationship with the mountain people. They have been appointed by the Passion Church to stay in Rhine City for two years. They do not rule out taking the opportunity to deepen their ties with the mountain people and conspire. Try to pay more attention to it. However, the Valente family has a profound background and must be avoided at all costs. Have a head-on conflict with it. ”
Sure enough, this great nobleman really has a connection with the ghouls. It is probably with their support that a group of mountain ghouls can fight against city-level or even national-level tunnel plans.
So what is the purpose of the rangers and the masterminds looking for Maya? Is it to sacrifice Maya to the ghouls in exchange for them not to obstruct the tunnel project?
It is self-consistent, but this is pure speculation. Not only is there no basis, but it is not even unique. Lynch finally shook his head and threw this conjecture aside.
Just be suspicious for now. There is too little information now. Let's wait for the information from the capital to come back. Then we will first explore the relationship between this great nobleman and the ghoul, and then consider countermeasures.
Having made up her mind, Lynch put everything back in place and quietly exited the Ranger's office.
I wanted to help them sort out the documents, so that the next time you grab the information, you would have no place to store it and have to find a lighter, but after hesitation, I gave up.
The main reason is that he is not sure that he only burned this one. If he burns down the entire Hall of Order, it will be a crime.
Forget it, spare them once and settle the score next time.
Lin Qi quietly opened the door of the office and returned to the corridor while no one was outside. Without using his stealth ability, he walked down the stairs openly. The situation in the east building was a bit chaotic. Many people in blue uniforms were running down the stairs, and there were many people making noisy noises outside. It was no less than the fire scene that day.
Several people ran past Lynch, but Lynch was so calm that no one asked him about his identity. In the end, he took the initiative to grab a passing man in blue uniform and flashed the emblem in his hat. : "I see the Rangers' emergency mission bell has rang. What happened?"
"Report sir, twelve special corpses have been found. According to regulations, the ranger and watcher commanders have been notified. ”
"How special is it?" Lynch estimated that the so-called special corpses were probably corpses that died in strange ways, mostly related to mysteries.
The blue uniform spread his hands and seemed to know nothing about it. Knowing that it had nothing to do with his commissioned task, Lynch had no interest in it and slipped out of the Hall of Order with satisfaction.
Knowing the bad intentions of the Rangers and getting a glimpse of some information about the Valente family, Lynch felt that today's trip to the Hall of Order was not in vain. The key was that for the first time, he applied lurking and phantom sounds to actual combat. , surprisingly easy to use. This made Lynch determined to apply it to more critical places next time, such as room 304 of a certain club.
It was almost eleven o'clock, so Lynch didn't delay any longer. He went to the business district near Crown Plaza and spent three pounds to customize a strong safe at the "Crazy Blacksmith".
This is a newly opened metal shop. It is not traditional hand forging. All products are industrially produced, made quickly and at low prices. In recent years, similar shops have popped up from time to time, selling products directly from nearby factories. They all have a bad reputation, but for some reason, the number of customers is increasing.
Lynch knows very well what the development trends are, but compared with the road to immortality, these are nothing to mention. Therefore, like most people, he chose the one with the best value for money regardless of his feelings, and then sent all today's receipts to the Dark Night Cathedral.
He is going bankrupt, and he must find a way to regain his blood before this month's five pounds are reimbursed.
It is impossible to work part-time. The money comes in too slowly. The only way is to work hard on the task. Complete Mrs. Sterling's commission as soon as possible and earn as much as you can.
The whole morning, after completing all the plans step by step, Lin Qi was in a good mood. He hummed the famous children's song of his hometown, xx Bridge fell down, and thoughtfully replaced xx with Rhine. Under the horrified gazes of passers-by, I walked back to Apartment 221 quickly, but I laughed out loud as soon as I walked in.
The little thing didn't dare to sit down, so he could only lie down at the dining table with his butt sticking out, and was preparing lunch with his mother. When he saw that Lynch was back, he immediately showed an angry quail look in his eyes and stared at Lynch with his mouth bulging. He made a face by the way.
Huh? Lynch slapped him in one fell swoop.
“Ah, Mom, he’s going to beat me again!” Little Martha immediately covered her butt and moved towards her mother.
The blonde lady covered her mouth and smiled, and said softly to Lynch: "Mrs. Sterling came to see you just now and left when she saw that you were not there."
"I don't think she was in the square either. "Enter." Lynch frowned, "What, the situation has changed?"
"She didn't tell me in detail, but it seems that Janet is not in good condition and can't come over. I hope it's convenient for you. I can come to my house.”
Lin Qi felt that the good mood of the morning had quickly left, and nodded thoughtfully.
It seems that it is not just a matter of mental breakdown, otherwise I would not be unable to come. The situation may be more serious than I thought.
Let’s go and have a look after lunch.
