Chapter 280 Desperate Results
“Tom, make me a glass of St. Martin’s Blood.”
Rooney carefully smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, walked over and sat down next to Karl. On one side, three suspicious candidates with secrets sat in a row at the bar.
No, it was four, and the mole who caught the mole was equally suspicious.
Lin Qi sighed. He has now realized that the situation of the wanted criminals of the internal group is hard to say, but the mission of the external group is, on the surface, a normal tomb robbing operation. A group of law enforcement officers have been summoned. Outsiders, these people can come to apply for a job, and no one is less likely to do similar things. Everyone naturally gets along day and night to drink and have fun, cultivating a tacit understanding for future joint actions.
Among the six people who applied for the job, some of them seemed to have other backgrounds besides their status as outlaws. How about gathering all six of them together to meet them all at once? The next three.
Lynch's eyes flickered, he pondered for a moment, then raised the corners of his mouth behind the fan, and chuckled: "You can call me Ms. Selene, and my identity will be kept secret for the time being. Mr. Rooney is right, I brought the most critical thing. That item. If nothing happens, I will take action with you in three days."
"Huh?" The three of them were stunned and looked at each other, and Carl Jones said in confusion. Beautiful lady, are you kidding me? I have never heard of my boss mentioning it.”
“Your Excellency Howard will not agree. We can join the action only because we have passed the Howard test.” Rooney, the ancient book broker. He also frowned and looked at this mysterious beauty who always liked to play with the round fan with doubtful eyes. He seemed to be thinking about her identity and purpose, "Do you have any characteristics that we don't have?"
Guess slowly, if you guess correctly, I will lose.
"Yes, indeed." Lin Qi smiled and said lightly, "I have key items."
Probably I have never seen such a confident answer, the three of them Their expressions were a little subtle, but no one expressed any doubts. After all, no matter how stupid a person is, they would not tell such a lie that would be exposed after just a few inquiries.
However, Lynch did not stare at the three people's reactions at this time. Instead, his attention was focused on the bartender Tom, who was mixing the St. Martin's Blood ordered by Rooney. When Qi talked about moving together, there was a slight pause in the other party's movements, so subtle that it would have been impossible to tell if he hadn't just been shaking the wine.
Who is this? There is something wrong in my heart. Could it be that Howard sent him to monitor this group of people?
“I just agreed with Howard on this matter not long ago, so I wanted to come over and meet everyone first, but I didn’t expect to meet Mr. Jones as soon as I went out.” While thinking, Lynch said leisurely: “Also You three, why don’t we have a few drinks and get to know each other.”
Lynch was no longer panicking at this time, because he had roughly clarified the relationship between Howard and the others and these people.
Lynch, as Howard's investigator, Howard will definitely tell his lies unconditionally, so his lies will never be exposed. At this time, he is equivalent to bringing money into the group, and no one has the right to question it. Instead, the six people have to try their best to satisfy him, especially the mole, unless he wants to cause trouble now.
Then just get these people together and let everyone put on a lively show to see who else has problems, haha...
Um? I must have been using the fan for a long time, why am I as perverted as those crazy women.
"Haha, it's okay. Having such a beautiful lady join our team is a good thing that we never dream of. Ah, Dr. Jenna, I didn't say you are not beautiful enough, I just can An extra piece of scenery is an encouragement to everyone.”
Sure enough, no matter what world, appearance represents justice. Carl Jones accepted Lynch’s statement in the blink of an eye and stood up with a smile on his face. ：
"But there is no need to look for them. We had made an appointment to come over every night to build a tacit understanding for the task in a few days. They soon...ha, they came as expected."
< br>The people who opened the door were a man and a woman. The man was a middle-aged man in his forties, short and fat, with a thick beard. Although he was wearing formal clothes, he was slovenly, and his beard and hat were dirty. There were even wine stains, and the most eye-catching thing about him besides his beard was his huge round nose, which made him look as funny as someone in a cartoon.
The woman looked even stranger. She came wearing a baggy nightgown, with messy hair, black eye sockets, chapped lips, and reddish eyes. She was walking with a thick classic in her arms. Shaking and swaying, it looked like he hadn't slept in several days. As she walked, her eyes were dull and she was in a daze, which made Lin Qi feel that if she hadn't followed the man beside her, she wouldn't have been able to walk, so she lay down and fell asleep halfway.
But as the two of them got closer, Lin Qi suddenly felt the hair on the back of his neck stand up, and his heart suddenly contracted. The feeling of being spied on by a powerful mysterious force when he was just teleported passed away in a flash. At the same time, a feeling like being next to a scorching flame arose spontaneously, making his whole body feel hot. It was not a touch from the skin, but a feeling from inspiration, somewhat similar to the burning of the soul felt when wearing a ring, only to a much lesser extent.
Holy shit, what the hell is this?
Lin Qi's face was stiff. Fortunately, he was not discovered due to the cover of the fan. He quickly recalled the information in his mind. The short and fat man should be the antiquities hunter, Jack Adams, nicknamed the ruin hound, a soul changer of the unknown meteor god. .
The other woman is linguist Judy Butterfly, who is said to be a soul-changer of the Lord of Fire, the Fallen God. Not surprisingly, the burning sensation should be felt from her body. But Lynch can be sure that he has never had the feeling he just had from any soul-shifter, not even Ole, the eighth-level archaeological director. Is this woman really a soul-shifter? As evidenced by inspiration, there is definitely something wrong with this woman, and it is not as simple as the information says.
Very good, there is something wrong with four of the six people, how much more exaggerated can it be? There must be a normal outlaw among the remaining two, such as this big nose...
"Hey, Tom, give me a beer."
Jack, a slovenly short and fat man, sat next to Jenna, his tone was rude and his movements were vulgar. This caused Dr. Jenna beside him to move, stand up with a look of disgust, and glared at Jack with disdain.
The two people's eyes met in the air for a moment. Jenna snorted and muttered something disgusting, then walked around to sit next to Rooney on the other side, and Jack also slapped the table and pointed at Jenna. Swearing and swearing, he was not like a Rand gentleman at all. He reluctantly stopped until the bartender pushed the beer in front of him.
"I'm sorry, beautiful lady." Carl smiled and squeezed back to Lynch, "Jack and Dr. Jenna may have some personality differences. They have accumulated a lot of unhappiness these days and often have conflicts, but there is still no problem in serious matters. , After all, we are all professionals.”
“Oh, it’s understandable that conflicts tend to arise when there are more people.”
Lin Qi smiled casually, but in fact, he smiled. A fifth question mark was drawn. Karl said that there was a personality incompatibility, which meant that the two people actually had no grudge, it was just that they disliked each other. This kind of thing does happen from time to time, and it is a normal phenomenon, but if there is almost certainly a problem with one party's identity, it is not normal at all. It is easy to think of deliberately creating the illusion of discord to alienate the relationship, which on the contrary means There's probably something wrong with both of them.
"So, where is the other Mr. Salin?"
The Salin in the information calls himself a folklorist, but what he does more is change his identity and go into rural villages to defraud ancient totems or sacred objects passed down by the tribe. , referred to as Folk Liar.
“We may not see him until daytime tomorrow. Salin often disappears at night and rarely attends our gatherings. When asked why, he refused to explain, so we stopped looking for him at night. ”
"That's fine..."
Lynch looked at the bartender Tom who was still busy and sighed quietly. He probably knew why the liar didn't show up at night, and he probably thought the bartender's job was more interesting than the liar.
However, disguising in front of his companions every day and secretly observing his companions is not something a normal person can do no matter how you think about it. Saying that there are no other problems with his identity would make Lynch doubt his own IQ.
So, you want me to tell Howard that all the people you are looking for are moles?
And you inner ghosts, who are you showing your daily sex scenes to? Why can’t you just let each other know?
And what should I do? I can't tell you in private that I am also a mole, I dare say you won't believe it either. Besides, Howard is not a fool. As long as a real person of his is buried among these people, once I am exposed, I will be completely finished.
Carl Jones was explaining the situation to everyone for Lynch, but Lynch only felt more and more annoyed the more he thought about it, it was worse than when he didn't know anything just now.
But just when he was most troubled, he suddenly became aware of a strange gaze. He followed the gaze and saw that Ms. Judy, who made him most wary, was staring at him with a look that made him Unfathomable, cold all over.
