Chapter 273 Robin’s Prosthetic Hand
“Hahaha, you are exaggerating. Those are all misinformation from busybodies. Everything is subject to the officially announced information.”
“After a while. After the reception begins, Her Royal Highness will naturally announce the news, and everyone will know it by then.”
"Haha, I'm not trying to whet everyone's appetite. I also want everyone to know the result as soon as possible, but it concerns Her Highness the Princess. As a commoner, I don't dare to say anything casually. Your excellencies should wait for Her Highness the Princess to tell you herself. Anyway, There is only more than half an hour left, please be patient.”
Lin Qi was standing in a corner of the courtyard, holding a wine glass, and stood under the lamp, with more than a dozen people sitting or standing around him. The guests attending the meeting made this corner the most lively area in Earl's Mansion. At this time, Lynch seemed to be a different person. He was able to express himself without any pressure under the gaze of everyone. Not only was he very familiar with the status and preferences of the nobles around him, but his etiquette and conversation were impeccable.
Faced with everyone's temptations, he didn't have a definite answer, blaming everything on Princess Chloe. However, his body was very honest. He mysteriously took out a cloth money bag and untied the bag. Seam, a bright red light immediately lit up. At this moment, everyone understood that the princess's lost gem was successfully recovered by this suddenly rising detective within a few days.
Officer Natalie glanced at the other party in confusion, always feeling that this guy was deliberately showing off, but Lynch did not tell her that he must have concerns, and the police officer did not ask any more questions.
Seeing the lost property being found with their own eyes, all the guests marveled at Lynch. They burst into laughter and the atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious, making the surrounding area the focus of the venue.
But some people are not so harmonious either.
A young guest seemed to have been touched by a guest behind him. He staggered a few steps in the direction of Lynch and barely stopped until he stumbled to his side. Just as he stood firm and wanted to apologize for his gaffe, when he looked up, he saw Lin Qi turning to the other side. In front of him was his tall female companion, squinting her eyes and staring at him with a half-smile. This person was wrinkled. He frowned, nodded with a smile, and then retreated into the crowd, signaling to the outside of the crowd covertly with his eyes.
A moment later, a waiter carried a tray and passed by the crowd. He made eye contact with the young man, then slightly adjusted his direction and cut towards the edge of the crowd.
Seeing that it was getting closer and closer, two security guards in black suddenly appeared from behind the crowd and blocked the waiter's path. The two quickly moved to the side, and the wrong direction just blocked the waiter from approaching the crowd. At an angle, expressionless gazes from both sides met, the waiter changed direction again, cutting through the crowd and quickly moving away, while the two security guards turned around and disappeared into the shadows cast by nearby bushes.
Soon, four or five more guests were attracted from other places, chatting and laughing, approaching to join the crowd. One of them flashed a bright corsage in a hidden corner, and followed his companions to approach the crowd.
Just then, two waiters carrying empty trays walked sideways, and happened to cross a few people. No one noticed that there seemed to be two tubes filled with transparent liquid hidden behind the trays of the two waiters. Needle.
A few people quickly joined the crowd. When they turned around, they realized that one of their group was missing a companion wearing a corsage. Looking back, I saw that this companion had sat on the bench next to me at some point. His eyes were closed tightly and he was snoring lowly. When he got closer and smelled it, he smelled of alcohol. It seemed that he had drank too much and unknowingly. drunk. This made several people feel ashamed and angry, and they quickly helped their humiliated companion to the guest room to rest.
For a time, similar situations appeared one after another. From time to time, people with strange looks tried to approach the detective who was talking in various identities, but always someone with the same strange look suddenly appeared at the right time and quietly moved the approaching detective. People are forced to retreat.
The people who approached did not force themselves, they immediately changed their angles and identities, and quietly approached again, only to be forced back again by others.
The two sides are like two fighting masters. One is constantly testing the opponent. Once the opponent reveals a flaw, he will immediately drive in and directly deliver a fatal blow, while the other side is tightly defended and blocks quietly. Every time the opponent attacks, there is never a single flaw.
The undercurrent continued to surge, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed. After a period of intensive greetings, as other guests arrived one after another, the guests' attention was gradually attracted by the new guests, and they finally let Lin Qi go. There were far fewer guests surrounding him, and no one greeted him frequently anymore. .
Lin Qi could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He went to the bathroom of the mansion to tidy up for a while, then returned to the garden, picked up a glass of red wine, and sat alone with the guests in twos and threes. In the meantime, we quietly waited for the cocktail party to begin.
Since the crowd around him has dispersed, it is no longer convenient for those weird-looking testers to approach frequently, so they have restrained themselves a lot. Occasionally, some people will try, but the watchman's defense line is always tight and never leaves any room for those with evil intentions. Any chance.
Everything was changing for the better, but beyond the attention span of Lynch and the watchmen, in the shadow of the shrubs outside the garden lights, someone was watching closely what was happening at the venue.
"Damn it, Mr. Kelvin, you are right. Sure enough, these disgusting guys from the Watchers have also entered the venue. With them interfering from behind, my people can't get close to the detective at all, don't say After getting something, he couldn’t even confirm whether it was on him.”
"This is a good thing. Without the protection of the watcher, how can we calm his nerves? If he really finds a room to hide, we will be in more trouble."
In the darkness, a tall black figure said Elegantly, he said in a relaxed tone:
"Now this cunning guy has finally been fooled. I'm afraid he never imagined that these people were just to distract him and make him let down his guard."
"Hehe, yes, as long as his vigilance is lowered to a certain level, he will be an undefended prey in front of Robin's prosthetic hand."
With a burst of rustling, At the sound of the voice, Walker took out a wooden glove and slowly put it on his hand:
"I believe he never imagined that Princess Chloe had to agree to lend this rare thing. I'm sorry, Lin Mr. Chi Leviv, the game is over and the gem is mine now"
As he said that, he grabbed the wooden glove in the direction of Lin Qi, and then opened the glove with determination.
The smile instantly froze on his face because there was nothing on the gloves.
The use of the gloves is very simple. As long as the target item once belonged to oneself, the holder's vigilance is low to a certain extent, and the image of the item is conceived in the mind, then the target can appear in the gloves with just one grasp. inside.
The gem was conceptually transferred to Walker, and Lynch did it himself, so all the conditions for the use of the prosthetic hand are met. There is only one possibility that he has not been caught now.
The target is not on the opponent at all.
"Damn it, did he give it to Angel?" Walker's expression changed, "Isn't there someone watching him all the time? How could he have time... Damn it, it's the bathroom, they must be in the bathroom After exchanging gems, I asked why the woman suddenly disappeared, leaving Lynch to attract our attention, and hid the gems to wait for time. The two bastards teased me again, look for me, aren't you already there. Are they marked? Find her wherever she is hiding."
