Chapter 238 Lost and Found
The high temperature burned out all the combustibles in the room in just a few dozen seconds, and then the flames quickly extinguished.
When Lynch rushed in again, all he saw was charred blackness and devastation.
Lynch did not chase the mysterious man. It had been a few minutes. Now the servants were in front of the mansion. The man had already jumped out of the window from behind if he wanted to run away. There is no point in chasing him now. Why not first see if there is any rescue here? meaning.
But no.
A thick burnt smell filled Lynch's nose, and waves of heat washed over his skin.
The flame explosion did not have much impact, and the walls, roof and floor were not affected, but the excessive temperature burned almost everything in the room.
Of course, including those precious information.
Although it still maintained its original appearance, all the papers had been completely charred black. When I touched it with my hand, the table and documents were turned into fly ash.
Lin Qi stood motionless in the room, staring at the mess on the ground expressionlessly, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy.
After all, he was plotted. The man's size was not like the ones the Rangers had seen. Wasn't he one of Howard's?
Then why would he do such a thing, even doing it in a noble's home? This is a very serious act.
Bang, there was a sound behind me, and when I turned around, I found that the door had also exploded into a cloud of ashes. Miss Valente outside the door was holding her hands up and staring at the ashes in the sky, stunned, but she quickly recovered her movements and walked away with a stern face. When he came in, he first handed the coat he brought to Lin Qi, and then pursed his lips at the paper dust on the floor.
"Is the situation outside okay?"
"Don't worry, the smoke in other rooms will stop soon after you come in. They are opening the windows for ventilation, trying to keep the air out of the house. The smoke dissipated early. Did you do something to make it stop?”
Lynch briefly described the mysterious man he saw: "He deliberately covered his mouth and nose with a wet wipe. He was obviously prepared. He first used smoke to clear the area, and then set a trap on the information. That should be the case, so he After successfully evacuating, the smoke dissipated."
"Well, they are really here for these things. Some people don't want us to see this information." Miss Valente frowned, "But the timing is inevitable. What a coincidence, right? "
Yes, the information has been there for a month, and Miss Valente has read it repeatedly during this period. However, she knew that within an hour, the enemy would already come to her door.
I feel like I am Mount Emei.
"There are no coincidences in the mysterious world. The other party should have a method similar to prophecy and can peek into our movements in advance." Miss Valente held the folding fan and said in a deep voice, "I just don't know. Who is he and what is his purpose in stopping us? "Huh? Isn't he sent by Mayor Howard?"
"Probably not. According to your description of the explosion, I'm afraid it wasn't a real flame that burned down this room."
Huh? "
"A real flame cannot be extinguished so quickly, and it will not be so bright. What you describe is not so much a flame, but... a blazing light. ”
Lin Qi frowned, having a bad feeling. "Well, the owner of your ring, Lady Blazing, holds relevant authority, but her followers generally don't live long, so they are rare. It is more common to have similar powers... The Church of the Sun, the Lord of the Burning Sun, Su "My soul-shifter."
Miss Valente looked around the room and sneered:
"In the past two days, I have asked an expert to try to analyze the mysterious residue left by the power. If it is confirmed that it was really done by someone from the Church of the Sun, then this is a declaration of war against the Valente family, and the family will be happy to accept the challenge."
This was the first time that Lynch saw the gentle and amiable Miss Valente so angry and so tough, and his eyes became a little strange when he looked at her.
“I am not angry. This is not the first time that the family has faced provocation in the past thousand years. There is no need to be angry. As long as we fight back hard, our opponents will never dare to challenge again. This is Wa The Lunt family has a belief that has been carried out for thousands of years.”
The noble lady smiled proudly:
"I will go back to the Church of the Passion in the next few days. I would like to know how the church plans to deal with the unprovoked attack on believers assigned by the Pope to work in the Rhine. It also needs to be formally Pay a visit to Duke Wein. He should know how to take sides in the conflict between the nobles and the church. There is also Victor from the Watchers. The soul-shifters of the church violate secular rights and attack ordinary people. I believe they protect Lan. People of moral order will not pretend not to see it. "
Hiss, is this the way of war of the great nobles? They mobilize all their forces to directly suppress it. Lin Qi thought for a while, squinted his eyes and smiled: "I have another idea."
"Huh? Tell me." Miss Valente's eyes lit up. She still remembered that after Lynch said he had an idea last time, he rushed directly into Zul'Glashar and smashed Mordiggian with three punches.
Lynch took out the flaming red lips: "How about we bring the Rangers in to suppress the Sun Church together and force them to give an explanation? Not only can we get things into their hands, but we can also take advantage of the opportunity. Let them know that the information has been destroyed and completely relax their vigilance."
"Okay, I will do as you say and mobilize all the forces I can mobilize. I will make the intruders pay the price." Miss Te gritted her teeth and said bitterly, "Even if he didn't provoke the family, I don't plan to let him go easily. He actually dared to destroy our last clue. It's a pity that we couldn't know in advance...Eh?"
< br>
Miss Valente was looking at the paper dust on the ground with a regretful expression when she saw Lynch take out a stack of paper from the lining pocket of his coat and hand it over. She subconsciously took it and unfolded it, and then she was stunned. , his mouth slightly opened, staring blankly at the thing in his hand.
That was part of the information that should have been burned. It was the information that Lynch put away before the alarm bell rang and the two escaped.
It was the information left over from the first seminar that the two of them had just picked out.
"The appearance of that person just now shows that there are indeed unknown secrets hidden in these materials. He would rather risk setting fire to your house than destroy the materials to keep it secret." Lin Qi took the materials back and flicked them in his hand. Then, he said with a half-smile, "If our previous analysis is correct, then these are the most critical contents. There is a high probability that the secrets he wants to keep are hidden in them. In other words, what he tried so hard to burn may be It's just a pile of waste paper."
"You..." Miss Valente's expression became very exciting, and she said in a dumbfounded way, "It's so urgent, but you didn't forget to pack the things, and you also chose. The most important thing?”
“Thank you for eating, ma’am.”
Just kidding, based on Lynch's experience in film reading, he has seen too many examples of people being fooled into having their homes stolen at the last minute. Therefore, when the fire bell rang, he immediately subconsciously packed the most important content he could find close to his body. go out. Lynch didn't intend to explain, and shrugged casually:
"And after he made such a fuss, I actually had some ideas about interpreting the information."
Miss Valente immediately showed an expectant look. Expression: "Huh?"
"When I entered Downey's house and found those photos, his house was extremely dirty. Even the photos were extremely dirty. But these were not there, which shows that Downey had successfully interpreted the mysterious message at that time and made those photos temporarily become... The mysterious document caused a lot of filth to accumulate on it, and in the entire room, only the walls had the highest concentration of filth, indicating that he nailed the photo to the wall and then successfully decoded it. No..."
Miss Valente felt that her palms were a little damp and her heartbeat was speeding up a lot. Licking her dry lips, she thought for a moment, took Lynch's hand and turned away: "Let's evacuate everyone at home first, and then I'll try it with you. I think it might be a feasible attempt. ”
