The red moon returns

Chapter 187 Killing and Punishing the Heart

"Princess Chloe is the sixth princess of the Salt Kingdom, an inconspicuous member of the royal family."

Miss Valente looked at Lynch, who nodded vigorously and seemed to understand, and sighed softly:

"The Kingdom of Salt is a kingdom established by the pioneering group in the New World at the beginning of the Fifth Age... You always know what the New World is."

"Yeah, yeah, I really know this." Lin Qi nodded vigorously, feeling that the other party might regard him as a fool, "Civilization in the Mythical Age originated from the ancient continent, began to flourish in the Middle-earth Continent in the Fourth Age, and expanded outwards from the Fifth Age I came to the New World, and I am still an intermediate student majoring in archeology. Although I didn’t recognize my archeology professor, I still know this basic knowledge.”

"In the Fourth Age, it was still an affiliated territory of Rand. However, due to the great disaster at the end of the Fourth Age, sea routes were cut off for a hundred years. When the three continents were connected again, the affiliated territories in the New World also established their own countries. Watts The Lunt family is a baron family, and they also lost a large piece of their farm."

The noble lady sighed with regret and said quietly:

"However, the relationship between Rand and Salt is not like the neighboring country Friedman and their affiliated territories, which have a war every few decades. The relationship between Rand and Salt is not bad. The royal family of Salt is originally The branch of Qiangwei still maintains enough respect for the Qiangwei family. Every year on Salt National Day, it will present symbolic gifts to the Qiangwei family to show that it has not forgotten its origin. Royal members of both parties also often communicate with each other."

I'm afraid I was really a fool in my previous life. Why didn't I even know these things? But think about it, it would be great if an ordinary civilian who is confused can have enough food and clothing.

Lynch generously forgave himself for his ignorance in his previous life and asked, "Is that why the Trojan princess came to study abroad?"

"It's Princess Chloe. Remember, if you really forget your name, just call her Her Royal Highness or 'that' princess in a vague way. Try not to call her by the wrong name. Some nobles pay more attention to names. If you call her by the wrong name, they will use a shotgun." head shot."

Isn't that similar to the Ivy League Alumni Association?

"Don't be so solemn."

"Special meaning? You mean related to mystery?"

"I heard that flaming red lips have a special meaning, do you know?"

"I'm not very familiar with Princess Chloe. I only know that there is such a person. The Flaming Red Lips made a big fuss a few months ago and was even in the newspapers. It was said to be a very beautiful ruby ​​that appeared out of nowhere. , and finally fell into the hands of a member of the Salt royal family, it turned out to be her."

"No, you must be careful. This invitation is a bit strange. I suspect Princess Chloe has no good intentions."

"I'm not sure, I just heard what the police said."

"Hey, actually Princess Chloe came to study abroad not because of the close relationship between the two countries. Mr. Lynch, did you really graduate from a secondary school?" Miss Valente shook her head with pity, "Rand's higher education level Ranked high in the entire world, many royal families and nobles send their children to study in Rand. Not only do they learn knowledge, but more importantly, they can get to know the descendants of many big families and broaden their connections. There are relatively few in the Rhine, Nolan In the four institutions of higher learning over there, you can see noble children from foreign countries everywhere, it’s very lively.”

"Only one person would do such a thing, 'that' lady."

"Sorry, I have been worrying about that matter for a while, and I really am not in the mood to inquire about this information." Miss Valente pondered for a moment, "Well, I will go find out about it tonight and try to get back to you tomorrow."

Lynch frowned: "Is this a trap?"

"It's not a direct trap like you understand, and it won't be life-threatening." Miss Valente played with the folding fan gently, and whispered with her light eyebrows together, "Many of the methods of the nobles are more complicated than you think. Darkness is also more hidden. Many seemingly normal or even completely well-intentioned actions often hide the most sinister purposes. Many traps that can affect an individual's life or even the reputation of the entire family are often hidden in little things, so and We must be extremely careful when dealing with black-hearted nobles."

Is it that exaggerated? Lynch was a little dazed. "Oh, it's hard to imagine, but it's not an exaggeration."

Miss Valente straightened up, suppressed her smile, and with a touch of anger between her brows, she instantly gained a bit of nobility and fierceness:

"Just like your invitation, there is a big problem. There are very strict rules in all aspects of social interaction in the upper class. Not to mention speech, clothing, position, etc., even when you can talk and when you need to shut up, which It is a tacit understanding that cannot be violated until one speaks. Introducing a person who does not belong to this circle into the party is itself a kind of invisible malice. Maybe she has no other purpose, just because it is convenient, but at least It can be seen that she has no regard for your honor, disgrace or interests at all. This vicious intention may be hidden from the public, but it cannot be hidden from my eyes. "

By the end of the sentence, there was obvious anger in his tone.

Looking at the angry Miss Valente, Lynch's eyes gradually softened, and he smiled and said softly: "Thank you, Miss Diana, for letting you take care of me."

Miss Valente turned her face away, her cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes were wandering as she said: "You don't have to thank me, I am doing it for the benefit of the family. You are a friend of the Valente family. If she dares to show malice to you in this way, it is for the sake of the family." I will never allow her to do this as a provocation from the Valente family.”

"Yes, yes, family interests." Lynch couldn't help but snicker, until his beautiful big eyes turned around again with anger, he nodded with a straight face, "What will happen if we continue?"

"If nothing else happens, you will make a lot of fools of yourself, be discriminated against, and become the object of ridicule." Miss Valente sighed and said, "In other situations, these are not big problems, and a lot of experience will help. It has to be cultivated slowly, and making a fool of yourself is also a kind of tuition, and it is not a malicious intention."

Lynch nodded, he really didn't mind that much.

"But this is all under the premise that you secretly make a fool of yourself. Once anyone has malicious intentions and temporarily pushes you into the focus of most attendees, it will be an extremely huge disaster for you. Because you are the first This is your first public appearance in an upper-class group. Once you make a fool of yourself, you will leave the first impression of a funny and clown on the entire upper-class society. From now on, when people mention you, they will not think of the powerful detective Mr. Leviev, but It’s Mr. Leviv, the clown who doesn’t understand etiquette at all and made a fool of himself in front of a foreign princess.”

Miss Valente showed a cold smile and said coldly:

"Maybe she won't do it, but she can't guarantee that no one else will do it at the reception. That's why I said that her sending you this invitation letter is a sign of malice. You won't have any substance by then. It is a sexual loss, but once the first impression is established, it is difficult to reverse it. At that time, it is almost certain that you will have nothing to do with the entrustment of nobles and big businessmen. No matter how capable you are, those people will not consider an impression. Clown. This is still a long-term consequence. The more direct consequence is that you will inevitably be excluded from the investigation of this case. Due to your own reasons, you will not be able to gain the trust of the princess, and others will only blame yourself."

The more Lin Qi listened, the more he felt chills all over his body. The methods of these big shots were really hard to guard against:

"So, that Chloe didn't actually want me to participate at all, so she used this method to exclude me in disguise?"

"Probably."

Hiss, it’s heartbreaking to kill people, and there’s no blood involved. Lynch looked at Miss Valente and couldn't help but sigh. If he hadn't become friends with her, he might have been tricked to death without even knowing who had done it.

Lin Qi narrowed his eyes, and the anger in his heart came out. However, now that the method has been seen through by Miss Valente in advance, the development of the situation is not up to the other party. As long as you can find tricks and defuse all attacks, it will be equivalent to the other party helping you set up the best stage. Send yourself into the circle of big shots with a high profile.

As for whether he can do it, Lynch is not worried at all. This girl just made a fuss about attending the cocktail party with him. I am afraid it is not just a detective fan.

"Of course, you are the best friend of the Valente family. If you are plotted by them in front of me, then my many years of aristocratic education will be in vain." Miss Valente smiled confidently and teased Opening the curtains and looking at the scenery outside the carriage, "It's already here, it's time to blow the horn of counterattack."

"Ok?"

"Now is the first step." Miss Valente opened the car door and jumped out of the car with Lynch. "Let me change a few sets of clothes for you first."

"what?"
