Chapter 264: Chase and Escape
A man in black formal attire was walking out of the door of the Church of the Night.
Formal attire is a very common style. The brim of the top hat is lowered to cover the face. He is holding a black cane in his hand. The whole person looks very inconspicuous. He blends into the crowd as if he is blending into the sea. water droplets.
It's just that the body shape is difficult to conceal. The man is tall, strong and slightly thin. Occasionally, when he turns his head, he will inadvertently reveal a young and handsome face under the brim of his hat.
Lynch Levi's face.
Lynch walked out of the church with his head lowered, looked around cautiously, and then walked towards the Rhine Bridge leading to the King's District, walking in a hurry, glancing around from time to time as he walked, cautiously Observe the passers-by around you.
The surroundings were calm and there was nothing noteworthy about the abnormality.
Two men in blue uniforms were riding police horses on the street, and they happened to be walking in the same direction as Lynch. A ragged beggar was wandering on the street carrying a tattered bedding, and he was also walking along the street. Lynch's direction moved.
Dingling bells, dinging bells, amidst the ringing of carriage bells, a taxi turned out from the intersection of the horizontal street and turned onto the stone road that Lynch was walking on. The beggar seemed to have seen the target, and his eyes The glowing one muttered and went around into another alley.
There were many people on the road, and the taxi stopped and stopped very slowly, never far away from Lynch. At this time, two young men in rough work clothes were chasing and laughing, passing by Lynch, and in front of him The pushing and fighting not far away caused the gentlemen passing by to frown.
At the same time, the sound of loud arguments and the sound of broken utensils came from the alley not far away. Two men in blue uniforms riding horses immediately blew their whistles and got into the alley, leaving Lynch's side.
Everything was normal as every day, but Lynch, who lowered his head, still felt a little uneasy. He suddenly stopped and looked around, but all he saw was a taxi stopping in the traffic. There are young people laughing and joking in the crowd, the bustling streets, and the square with clouds of vendors in the distance.
But Lynch was not reassured. He turned around without warning and started to return the same way. After a few dozen meters, he turned into a side street. The taxi cab and the young people playing behind him did not respond to this and continued along the original route. Leaving quietly in the direction.
"Master, madam, please give me two pennies, God will bless you."
As soon as you turned into the side street, you saw the beggar from before pestering a middle-aged pair. The gentleman and his wife held out the plates in their hands, and the beggar let Lynch pass by him without even looking at him. He just stared at the few coins that the gentleman and his wife were throwing into the plate.
"Sir, sir, buy a flower for Madam."
At the same time, the flower girl who was sitting on the roadside stood up with a flower basket and trotted after a man and woman passing by. She kept shouting her roses, so much so that Lynch almost hit her arm when he passed by her, but she didn't care at all and continued to sell her goods hard.
It wasn’t until Lynch’s figure disappeared from the end of the alley that the flower girl stopped selling and leaned back to the roadside, and the begging homeless man happened to pass by her.
"Notify Post No. 9 that the target is moving in their direction, pay attention to the handover."
"Understood."
The beggar did not slow down, and his eyes did not even cross. The two of them had already passed each other. Then, the flower girl stayed where she was, and the beggar seemed to have discovered another begging prey, and suddenly took big steps and ran in one direction.
There were many people on the street, but the beggar still ducked through like a fish, but he almost bumped into a beautiful aristocratic girl holding a round fan on the way, which caused a few screams.
The flower girl who stayed there held a rose and played with it for a moment, then suddenly took a few steps back and disappeared into a dark alley on the side of the road. In the darkness, she grabbed the hem of her skirt and pulled hard, making a tingling sound. The simple long skirt was torn open, revealing the shirt and trousers underneath. She put on a peaked cap and immediately transformed into a men's style. Then she threw the flower basket into the garbage in the dark alley and hurried out of the dark alley.
People were still coming and going on the street, and no one realized that the dark alley swallowed up a flower girl and spit out a man dressed in men's clothing. The man dressed in men's clothing lowered the brim of his hat, looked around with a familiarity, and then strode in the opposite direction. Without noticing, he passed by a girl with a round fan who was choosing hair accessories in front of a roadside stall
Passing by, the man dressed in men's clothing quickly walked away. A subtle smile appeared on the corner of the mouth behind the fan, and his pupils shrank slightly. The girl immediately put the hair accessories back on the stall and turned around to leave the side street in the direction in which the man dressed in men's clothes left. direction. The pace was slow, neither fast nor slow, but while passing through a shadow, as the light and shadow intersected, the girl's figure suddenly disappeared out of thin air, as if she had merged into the shadow.
The man in men's clothing knew nothing about this, and walked faster and faster without looking away, and soon arrived at the main road beside the square. At this time, Lynch, who was being followed, had already moved away, and the two people just now were A patrolling policeman was patrolling on the road on horseback.
The man in men's clothing slowed down and stopped on the side of the road to cross the road. The mounted police officer also happened to turn around and rode past the man in men's clothing. Their bodies crossed each other on the roadside.
"Report on the 5th. The target is moving towards the 9th. It is recommended that the 11th, 6th, and 2nd be prepared. The target is highly alert. It is not recommended to actively interfere to avoid causing the target to escape."
The words have not yet been spoken. The two sides passed each other, two mounted policemen crossed the intersection, and the man in men's clothing also crossed the road and disappeared into the crowd on the opposite side.
The two mounted policemen drove slowly along the road for a while, passing by a girl swaying and fanning herself on the side of the road. Then one of them suddenly accelerated, bypassing the carriages and pedestrians on the street, and disappeared at the end of the long street. The other one still maintained patrol speed and turned onto the square.
The clatter of horse hooves was clear and loud, and the running policeman left the square. He could not run too fast on the crowded street, and the rider slowly approached several four-story buildings.
Compared with the gorgeous Victorian buildings, these buildings are more substantial and simple. They are the administrative buildings of the Rhine City Engineering Construction Center that have been expropriated for a long time for the Nolin-Rhine Railway project.
The surroundings were quite deserted. The mounted policeman ran faster and faster, and soon arrived at the entrance of the center. He jumped off his horse lightly and let the guards skillfully lead the horse away, while he ran into the building without stopping.
He rushed to the conference room on the top floor. As soon as he entered the door, the rider put his legs together and knocked his chest with his fists. This was the standard etiquette of the Hall of Order.
"Reporting to the commander, the target has entered the encirclement and can be encircled and suppressed at any time." "Yes, you have done a good job. Go ahead and get ready to start." In the conference room, Walker, the leader of the Rangers, looked slightly gloomy. He calmed down a bit and turned to the other two people, "Two gentlemen, please feel free now. We started tracking him early this morning. It is impossible for him to discover these professional methods. I said, he can't escape."
< br>
"This Mr. Lynch Leviv is very cunning. Starting from our Randall brothers, he has caused us a lot of trouble. This time I came to the Rhine to avenge them."
A middle-aged man wearing a white formal suit and a gray cloak stroked his beard and said with a half-smile:
"I know him very well, I suggest you not Relax your vigilance. His inexplicable entry into the Church of the Night just now is a very dangerous signal. If you are not careful, it will not be as simple as escaping from him."
"Huh?"
"Based on what we know about him, he is not a person who can be satisfied just escaping danger. Our Mr. Randall is an example. When faced with people who want him to die, he I will fight back even if I die. I went to say hello to him a few days ago and was almost tricked by him. Be careful, he will follow the person who is monitoring him."
"Hahaha, Kelvin. Don't worry, sir, those who are following and setting up ambushes are our specially trained professionals. It's very difficult to get out of their sight, let alone find us along the way. Hahaha, if he can really find us, I will kneel down on him on the spot. If you kowtow in front of me and admit defeat, you don’t have to worry too much.”
"I hope you are right."
Kelvin smiled noncommittally, while another person standing by the window looking out with a monocular said in a hoarse voice: "I saw He is right, this guy is indeed cunning, but there should be no problem this time.”
It was a man wrapped tightly, even his face was covered, only a hazy head was exposed. eye, and the other eye is covered with an eyepatch. Even though this man was wrapped in several layers, he still exuded a strong fishy smell.
"But, Walker, Walker, are you sure that the things were really deceived by him?"
"It's true, he will take the opportunity of the cocktail party to return the things to Princess Chloe on the 17th, indicating that The thing must be in his hands. This is the news returned by our informant in Earl Lorende's mansion. It is unmistakable, and he must have it with him. We have a way to predict it."
"Then why. Before he returns it to the princess of the New World, you take it back directly from the princess?" Kelvin asked slowly, "Isn't that safer?"
"Your Excellency can't trust Princess Chloe anymore. Grabbing it before they hand it over can ensure the safety of the things. Otherwise, who knows what farce they will stage. We can't give them another chance."
Walker sneered, hating He said hatefully:
“It’s time to settle the accounts between us. Hum, Mr. Kelvin, I’ll trouble you, a high-level soul-shifter with level seven power, to take action in a moment. Once it starts, Action, please activate the arrangement and teleport him to the destination.”
"I'm willing to help."
"It's up to you after that, old blind man. Your people have already been arranged there."
"Hehehe, of course, the surrounding area has been sealed off. Once he dies, he will not be able to escape. Forty sailors were arranged, all of whom are good men on the ship, enough to tear him into pieces." One Eye stared at the figure in the distance through the telescope and said coldly, "He was there that night. He must pay for how dare he offend me. Hey, get ready, it’s about to begin.”
Kelvin took a deep breath and stood up with a smile: "I can do it at any time."
"Hehehe." The deep diver next to the window smiled evilly, and was suddenly stunned, "Walker, Walker, what's going on with your people? What are they making?"
"What?"
Walker also rushed to the window, looked over with a telescope, and then broke out in cold sweat.
"Oops, they followed the wrong target, that's not Lynch Levy at all."
For a moment, the three people in the room who were confident just now looked at each other.
If you are not following the target, then where is the target?
"It must be here." Mr. Kelvin, who was most familiar with Lynch, immediately realized the problem, "He must have followed. This is his style. He is right next to us. Hum, Mr. Detective , you shouldn’t have come, you are dead this time.”
As he said, he punched the ground, and activated his ability regardless of whether there were only three people in the room.
[Power, communication, ability, space transfer]
The next moment, everyone in the reception room disappeared out of thin air, and then appeared in an empty dock at the Shiratori Port dock.
