Chapter 226 Another bold idea
Get up from where you fell.
This is the philosophy that Lynch has always maintained throughout his life.
Therefore, not only was Lynch not depressed because of being taken advantage of, but he was more motivated than before, as if he had regained the feeling he had when he was struggling to survive in time.
At this time, he was hiding in the cave with Miss Valente. From a shadow outside Shiratori Port, I looked at the dock that was still bustling in the night.
He has escaped from the sunken ship and joined Miss Valente.
This group of deep divers were still reasonable and did not embarrass Lynch again. Of course, this also promised Lynch that he would do his best to help them find the gems in the shortest possible time, which could be regarded as making up for the impact he had caused on them.
The apostle in yellow was also sent back to the Black Cat Theater by Lynch and Miss Valente. He mainly wanted to settle accounts with the deep divers who came ashore to annoy him, and this group of deep divers did not come ashore. I didn't bother him, and the two sides had a smooth fight, so Manager West left the coast in a reasonable manner.
Lynch and Miss Valente stayed, because Lynch discovered something unexpected but reasonable, which made him think through some doubts and created a Weird thoughts.
"What are you looking at?" Seeing Lynch staring at the port for a long time, Miss Valente asked softly next to her, "Is there anything special in it?"
"I'm confirming one of my Idea, maybe we can recover the gems faster than we thought."
Lynch's eyes were still fixed on the port dock, and he explained without looking back:
"Just now, in order to reassure those deep divers, I deliberately exaggerated some things. In fact, even if we analyze that Prince William and Mayor Howard are the main messengers, it will be useless. It is impossible for us to accuse them because of this matter, let alone Recover the gems through normal channels."
"It seems that you also understand this." Miss Valente smiled and nodded, "They have good reasons to search for gems, let alone search in secret. It is reasonable to publicly reward the gems. We have no reason to accuse them unless the gems are connected to advent-level rare objects."
Lin Qi shook his head: "But this is just a legend, and it is. The legend passed down thousands of years ago, but now it is not even certain whether the mirror exists. Using this legend as a reason to accuse a mayor can only be a joke."
"I feel relieved that you understand this." Miss Valente showed a relieved expression, "I thought you were thinking about how to knock on the door."
"That's too stupid, in your right mind No one in the world would do such a thing." Lynch laughed, "So our only way is to steal the gems, but we don't even know where they will store the gems, and we don't even know where to go if we want to steal them. Steal."
Miss Valente smiled bitterly: "If you investigate slowly, you may be able to find the target."
"I had planned this before, but just now I had a bold idea." Lin Qi squinted his eyes and sneered, "I always hold grudges. Just as he used tricks to steal things, I plan to use tricks as well. Get the things back.”
Miss Valente’s eyes widened curiously, and she looked at Lynch intently, waiting for him to explain.
“First of all, we can confirm one thing. Those who steal things are definitely not living beings but aliens. The most likely ones are other deep divers.”
The so-called Dagon is that alien creature made of gray silt and human heads. It is a dependent of the Lord of R'lyeh. It is quite powerful. It is said that it is enough to fight against level eight or even level nine soul-shifters.
“Why?” Miss Valente asked, “Because only deep divers can lurk near the sunken ship for a long time, discover our actions immediately, and then take the opportunity to take action before us?”
"This is only one of the reasons, but not the main reason. The point is that Alice and the others hid the gems in Dagon's lair, which was the safest place they could find." Lynch explained, " I asked Alice specifically just now. Even if Dagon leaves the nest, it will leave a part of its body to act instinctively. Any living creature entering its body will be attacked independently, unless... it is a different species that enters, especially if it is the same as Dagon. The aliens favored by the Lord of R'lyeh are the deep divers. "That's no wonder." Miss Valente asked, "So what does this mean?"
“It means that after the alien who steals the thing succeeds, it is impossible to deliver the thing directly to Howard, and it is even difficult to hand it directly to his ordinary people, because ordinary people see those aliens, like the one I dreamed about just now It is a normal reaction for those reporters here to be so direct and crazy."
Miss Valente was stunned, and then nodded frequently: "It does make sense, although there is a chance of resisting the erosion of filth every time, but passing it on. With such an important thing, Mr. Howard probably wouldn't dare to bet on the odds. If he wanted to get the gem as soon as possible, the person he contacted would most likely be a soul-shifter. However, this kind of collusion with other people must not be publicized everywhere, so the contact person must be there. Use his trusted subordinates, the Soul Changers... Unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with Rhine politicians, so I should be able to guess it."
"It doesn't matter, because ever since the two detectives from the Hall of Order invited me to Princess Chloe's cocktail party that day, something has made me very strange."
Lynch licked his lips and smiled gloomily. He said:
“I previously recommended people from the Rangers to participate in the investigation, but the two detectives said that the Rangers thought they had nothing to do, so they asked me to join the investigation.”
"Is there any problem?"
"The Rangers had a big conflict with me before, especially their leader Walker, who sabotaged our investigation time and time again in order to compete for power, and even took all the items Taking away the hidden things, even if there is really no way, it is impossible for me to participate in the investigation, unless... he knows the entire inside story of the whole thing, and knows that bringing me into the situation itself is a trap for me, otherwise they He has already come out to cause damage."
"So you think the Rangers are Howard's henchmen?"
"The Rangers are originally affiliated with the city hall. It's normal for them to be the mayor's confidants. And you see, that's what I just saw."
Lynch pointed to the pier, where a black car The carriage stopped above, and Miss Valente took out her binoculars to look at it, and said in surprise: "It's really the sign of the Rangers."
"Actually, I saw the carriage first, and then figured it out. Everything. The Rangers are not responsible for regular patrols, and the dock is not an entertainment place. There must be a reason why the Rangers' carriage is parked here so late. Combined with what happened tonight, I suspect that they are just to monitor the execution of the thieves. Or simply wait to receive the gems.”
Miss Valente took a breath, pondered for a moment, and then nodded thoughtfully: "So you want to start with the Rangers? What are you going to do?"
"I have read a story before. , it is about a monkey who wanted to borrow a fan, but the owner refused, so he used some tricks to trick the fan away. As a result, the fan owner’s husband chased after him, and his friend who turned into a monkey tricked the fan back. "
Lynch blinked narrowly at Miss Valente, crossed his fingers and said:
"Lend me Karina's exquisite makeup. Chief Walker of the Rangers is coming to sympathize with his subordinates and do the night shift for them."
"Yeah, is that okay?"
Valen Miss Te covered her mouth with a folding fan and looked at Lynch with wide eyes in surprise, as if she wanted to see clearly what was going on in his mind.
"Who knows if it will work if you don't try?"
