The red moon returns

Chapter 185 Wake up

Bang bang bang.

A knock on the door interrupted Lynch's thoughts. When he saw the two people brought in by Mrs. Maggie, he couldn't help but press his forehead, knowing that his previous guess was completely correct.

Trouble did come.

Two middle-aged men in formal attire came in. One was short and chubby with an upturned moustache, and the other was tall and thin with thick dark circles under his eyes.

It was the two detectives from the Hall of Order, Inspector Bruno and Walter's Inspector.

With a deep sigh, Lin Qi quickly stuffed the remaining bread into his mouth, shook the invitation letter in his hand towards the two detectives, and asked questions with his eyes. After seeing the two nodded, Lin Qi could only Reluctantly, he picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp, signaling the two of them to go upstairs to talk in detail.

It wasn't until Lynch closed the door to the living room on the second floor and the two detectives looked at the window again to make sure no one was eavesdropping that they breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the sofa.

The tall and thin Inspector Bruno wiped his sweat and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Detective, you have just recovered from your leg injury and I'm disturbing you again. However, you must help us, otherwise the entire Hall of Order will be destroyed." Our honor will be lost."

"Why, did you really lose the flaming red lips that you were going to show off at the ball?" Lynch pointed to the report in the Rhine City Investigator.

The two detectives nodded with admiration: "Your judgment is indeed accurate, Mr. Detective, regarding this matter..."

Lin Qi's face became serious. If it was just an ordinary theft case related to a mystery, of course he should stay out of it, but since it is related to the railway incident, he should consider it carefully. After all, I am worried that I have nowhere to start, so I can only wait for the information from the Watcher. It is always good to have more information.

Bruno smiled bitterly and explained: "Officer Walker and the others don't have a clue. Mr. Detective, after all, you are the first to come into contact with this matter, and you obviously know some inside information. Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to contact Officer Walker and the others directly. Please help. Please help. Otherwise, even if the Hall of Order loses face, it won’t matter. The entire Rhine City and even the entire Rand Kingdom will be affected, and then we won’t just patrol Qingmai District.”

"Tsk, is that princess so high-status, or is she very powerful?"

"Stop, I don't want to have anything to do with such a troublesome thing." Lynch raised his finger and made a silencing gesture, "Didn't I recommend Officer Walker of the Rangers to you?"

When the question came out of his mouth, Lynch immediately regretted it and wanted to slap himself. Unfortunately, it was too late to regret it. Bruno immediately explained:

"The banking industry in the Kingdom of Salt is very developed. Twenty percent of the construction funds for the Nolin-Rhine Railway came from loans from the banks of the Kingdom of Salt. That Princess Chloe is supported by several big bankers. Or, if she is angered, those banks may withdraw their capital. When the project stops, we will become the sinners of the entire Rand. I believe that His Majesty the King and His Excellency the Governor are willing to hang the two of us in Crown Square. The wind blows for half a month. Mr. Mayor Hoffman even believes that the purpose of the thief may not be the flaming red lips at all, but to anger Princess Chloe and indirectly damage the Nolin-Rhine Railway Project."

Besides, this matter itself is very curious. How about... let's hear it first? Just listening to it won’t deepen the relationship.

【hehe. 】

Um? Is it also related to the railway?

'Don't laugh like that, I know I'm comforting myself, but being tortured by curiosity can kill you, that's why people say curiosity kills the cat. '

[This sentence is originally explained in human language. 】

'um, yes. '

Lynch sighed, knowing that he had lost to the mysterious connection, and could only say helplessly: "Okay, for the sake of His Majesty the King, and for Rand, let's tell you, what is going on with the whole thing?" The two detectives Looking at each other, the nervous expression relaxed a lot. The short and fat Inspector Walter smiled and explained: "The flaming red lips are one of Salt's treasures. They are of high value in themselves, and it is said that there are other special ones." significance."

"Huh? What's the point?"

"Sorry, Mr. Detective." Detective Walter said awkwardly, "This is Princess Chloe's secret. If you want to know, you can only ask Her Highness the Princess. We only know that it may have some special function that can help find some legendary item." Items, we don’t know what items they are.”

Lin Qi frowned and asked, "Why does she still take out such an important thing and run around?"

"Those are legends that have been told for hundreds or thousands of years. No one knows whether they are true or not. In fact, it is just a very expensive gem. No one cares whether it has any symbol, unless the symbol can make it more expensive. "

Lin Qi smiled noncommittally and made a continue gesture.

"In order to ensure the safety of the gems, Princess Chloe secretly sent the gems to Dunglas Bank, the largest bank in Rhine, for safekeeping in their vault. This was done in secret. No one should know that the gems were in Dunglas, and Dunglars himself did not know the significance of the gem, and for several months there was no problem until the gem was stolen on the 5th.”

Bruno immediately went on to say: "After you left that day, we questioned Danglars carefully, but we didn't find any useful clues. Although the suspicion was locked on the Viscount who took the money, in fact the Viscount was still In Friedman, there was no Rand at all, and what Dunglas saw was just a fake. We consider that you are a special adviser to the Governor's Mansion and have had close contact with the target, so we hope that you can also join the investigation and investigate as soon as possible. Get the gem back.”

Lin Qi suddenly realized that this was the reason why the Hall of Order asked him for help. This matter was too big a responsibility, and if it was not handled well, the consequences would be endless. These people were afraid that they would not be able to bear such a huge responsibility, and Lynch, in the name of the duke's advisor, could bring him in, and there would be one more person to take the blame.

Lynch didn't mind this, but just shook the invitation letter in his hand with a faint smile: "It seems that you have discussed your ideas with Princess Chloe, and this thing is the princess's answer."

"Yes, this matter needs to be kept confidential. Princess Chloe cannot come here or the Hall of Order. If you want to ask her any questions, you can only find an opportunity to talk in secret at the reception. That's why I have this invitation. . We are worried that you are unwilling to accept this commission, so we intend to come in advance and explain the situation to you first."

"It's too early to say whether to accept the commission." Lin Qi hesitated for a moment, but eventually caution prevailed, "However, I will be invited to accept the commission. Tomorrow I will go and talk to the princess to decide whether to accept the commission. Let’s wait until we know the details tomorrow before making a decision.”

The two detectives did not show any disappointment at all, but hurriedly left with their canes, as if they were afraid that Lynch would regret it if he stayed too long. This made Lin Qi a little suspicious. He always felt that the other party simply wanted him to accept the invitation to the cocktail party. However, after combing through it several times, he concluded that there should be no danger involved, so Lin Qi said nothing more and took the initiative to send the two of them out the door.

As soon as he went out, he saw a simple and low-key black carriage parked outside the apartment door. An old woman stuck her head out of the car window and smiled kindly at Lynch.

Seeing this person, Lin Qi felt that his blood flow had accelerated a lot, and he had the urge to cheer loudly.

Because he sensed a familiar message from the other party.

[Karena’s exquisite makeup. 】

Miss Diana de Valente finally woke up from a half-month coma and appeared outside the door of Apartment 221 for the first time.
