Chapter 358: Murdering a relative...
Forget it, a tall man will hold up the sky when it falls. With so many strong men watching here, it’s not the turn of me, a second-level soul-shifter, to worry about.
Celebrities from all the Rhine City are gathered here. If the protective measures were so weak, there would probably be no celebrities alive in the Rhine City.
What's more, since I gave advance warning, they made extra preparations.
I'd better enjoy this dance. I've already received two big gifts before it started, which is really nice.
Touching the ring on his finger and the gem in his pocket, Lynch put away his uneasiness and showed a satisfied smile.
It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and there were more guests in the vestibule.
There are many long tables and parasols set up in the courtyard. Snacks as delicate as works of art are placed on shiny silver plates. The waiters wear bright purple vests and hold drinks in their hands. Moving back and forth between tables.
Lin Qi only ate a few pieces of bread during the discussion at noon. He followed the half-circle around the Duke's Mansion and wandered around the Duke's Mansion for more than an hour. Lin Qi was really a little hungry. There were no guests at the table who didn't need to be greeted, so he walked over with confidence.
The moment he saw the food on the table, Lynch felt like he had gone back to a past life and entered a dessert shop.
It is no longer the gray and black rough cookies you see every day. In contrast, the snacks on the table are works of art, with black cocoa, white cream, and golden honey. Yellow cakes and red fruits are combined in the most attractive colors to create a soft and restrained shape. Even those who are not hungry will be tempted to try it after just one glance.
The longing for his hometown made Lin Qi put aside his reserve. He picked out a few pieces that had the most impressive impression of his past life and put them on the silver plate. He couldn't wait to choose one and bite it in one bite.
For a moment, Lin Qi suddenly felt the urge to cry.
The mellow aroma of cream, the strong aroma of chocolate, the sweet aroma of honey, and the refreshing aroma of fruit quietly bloom in the mouth with the soft taste of the cake. All the aromas are mixed together, but unexpectedly clear in layers. Every rejection was a new experience. Lynch couldn't control his mouth at all and could only keep chewing.
Sorry, Mrs. Maggie, I have changed my mind. I have fallen in love with the snacks made by others.
It was like the feeling of suddenly eating rice and stir-fried vegetables after wandering abroad for many years. The taste of his hometown made Lin Qi feel a little sour. He couldn't help but pick up another piece and stuff it into his mouth. He was enjoying the taste of life with his eyes closed when a low voice suddenly sounded behind him. drink.
"Mr. Lynch Levy, I'm arresting you for stealing snacks."
As he spoke, he poked his waist with a finger.
Ouch, what are you doing?
With a mouth full of cake, he almost spit out the cake. The critical attack made Lynch jump one meter away.
This silly bitch must be crazy, she wants to murder her... ahem.
The movement was so familiar that he knew who it was without looking. Lynch quickly swallowed the cake in his mouth, gritted his teeth, and turned back to glare at Officer Natalie Angell.
Just wait, I will use a condition in a moment to let you feed me a piece.
However, when he turned around, Lin Qi found that he couldn't move his eyes away, and the only thought in his mind was to be amazed.
Lynch was used to seeing police officers dressed in men's clothing, but when he occasionally saw her in women's clothing, Lynch felt a strong sense of dislocation.
She is still wearing the long black dress, which shows off her tall and slender figure. Her flaxen wavy hair is spread behind her. There are a few white feathers on the black wide-brimmed hat and a few stars inlaid on the edge. Glittering diamonds. When the skirt fluttered, her long legs wrapped in black stockings were vaguely exposed, and under her round ankles, she stepped on a pair of red high heels.
Hey, why are you so beautiful?
Lin Qi's brain had lost the ability to think. He stared blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar lady in front of him for several seconds before finally suppressing a move. Passed the cake plate over: "Here, the golden piece is the sweetest."
"Oh."
The lady in black picked it up and stuffed it into her mouth. She moved skillfully without any sense of violation. After chewing for a few mouthfuls, she suddenly froze. It felt as casual as her daily life after being together for many years.
Especially the smirking face on the other side made Officer Natalie's cheeks turn red and she stepped on Lynch's feet more skillfully.
“Ouch~~” This silly girl is really crazy. Lynch took two steps back, as if to avoid the madman, but immediately came closer, "Why are you here so early?"
"We are security personnel. All the Watchers have been mobilized. Victor is here, slacking off and riding a horse with Viscount Molière." The lady in black was holding a closed white parasol. Half of the sword was exposed, "I was inspecting the venue, and I saw you sneakily eating cakes from a distance. You looked here and there like a thief. You were just eating cakes."
Aren't I afraid that people will burst into tears when they see someone eating cake? People who see it will probably have a lifetime of laughter. And what if someone discovers me and asks me to say hello? When I go to relatives’ houses during the Chinese New Year, I always go into a dark room and play games. It’s best if I don’t socialize.
Thinking in his heart, Lin Qi could only smile awkwardly but politely.
Fortunately, the police officer just said it casually, then looked around and said thoughtfully: "Where is she, didn't you come together?"
"Ah, who is it? I came here by myself. "Yeah."
Glancing at Lynch coldly, the police officer raised her lips and looked away. She snatched the snack that Lynch was holding and stuffed it into her mouth. She dusted her hands with satisfaction and said vaguely. Qingzhi said: "Then I will continue to patrol, and you can continue to eat here by yourself."
"Be careful."
"Huh?" The police officer paused and looked back at An Lynch, with a rare soft smile on her hard face, "Well, you should be careful too, I The atmosphere feels a little tense.”
“What? Did you find something?”
"Not yet, it's just the watchman's intuition." The police officer said, "Only four people were supposed to come to assist with security today. It was a full-scale operation at short notice, and Victor also came. After arriving, I found that the Governor's Mansion The special security department of the Guard is also here, which gives me a bad feeling.”
It seems that I am not the only one who feels this way. It must not be an illusion. By the way, she didn’t know just now. Our experience.
Lin Qi leaned close to her ear and was about to explain the situation in a low voice, but before she could speak, she felt another stabbing pain in her brain.
Why did a high-level person appear again? Is this an appointment for a meeting?
Lin Qi's heart tightened, and he looked over according to his perception, and saw a man strolling over.
It was a middle-aged man wearing an evening gown. He also wore a single-sided spectacles, but he did not appear to be as shrewd and cunning as Howard. Instead, he had a gentle and bookish air, more like a Mark studying. scholars.
"He's here anyway."
When the police officer saw the other party, her brows furrowed, and her uneasiness became more intense. She even forgot to eat the snack in her hand.
“Who is he?”
"Actually, you have seen it before, but he was wearing a robe at that time." The police officer said in a low voice, "Mr. Gurman, the president of the Rhine City Arcane Seminar, is one of the eight high-level soul changers in Rhine City. Level 7. People like them usually don’t appear in public, and they are even less willing to participate in such social activities. Why did he suddenly attend today? "
For a moment, Lin Qi felt like his breathing was heavy, and he felt like a heavy rain was coming.
