The red moon returns

Chapter 226 Another bold idea
From where you fell, you have to get up from there.

This is Lynch's philosophy that has remained unchanged throughout his life.

Therefore, not only did Lynch not feel depressed because of being taken advantage of, but he also had more fighting spirit than before, as if he had regained the feeling he had when he was struggling to survive in time travel.

At this time, he and Miss Valente were hiding in a shadow outside White Bird Harbor, staring at the still busy pier in the night.

He had escaped from the sinking ship and rejoined Miss Valente.

This group of deep divers were still reasonable and did not embarrass Lynch again. Of course, this also promised Lynch that he would do his best to help them find the gems in the shortest possible time, which could be regarded as making up for the impact he had caused on them.

The apostle in yellow was also sent back to the Black Cat Theater by Lynch and Miss Valente. He mainly wanted to settle accounts with the deep divers who came ashore to bother him. However, these deep divers did not come ashore and did not bother him. Both parties also There was a smooth fight, and Manager West left the coast in a reasonable manner.

Lynch and Miss Valente stayed, because Lynch discovered something unexpected but reasonable, which made him think through some doubts and had a strange idea.

"What are you looking at?" Seeing Lynch staring at the port for a long time, Miss Valente asked softly next to her, "Is there anything special in it?"

"I'm confirming an idea I have. Maybe we can recover the gems faster than we thought."

"It seems that you also understand this." Miss Valente smiled and nodded, "They have sufficient reasons to search for gems, let alone searching secretly. Even a public reward for gems is reasonable. We have no reason to accuse They. Unless it’s because the gems are connected to advent-level rare objects.”

"I had planned this before, but just now I had a bold idea." Lin Qi squinted his eyes and sneered, "I always hold grudges. Just as he used tricks to steal things, I plan to use tricks as well. Get things back."

Miss Valente's eyes widened curiously, and she looked at Lynch intently, waiting for him to explain.

Lynch shook his head: "But this is just a legend, and it was a legend passed down thousands of years ago. Now we are not even sure whether the mirror exists. Using this legend as a reason to accuse a mayor can only be a crime." joke."

"That's too stupid. No one in their right mind would do such a thing." Lynch laughed and said, "So our only way is to steal the gems, but we don't even know where they will keep them. , I don’t know where to steal it.”

Lynch's eyes were still fixed on the port terminal, and he explained without looking back:
"Just now, in order to reassure those deep divers, I deliberately exaggerated some things. In fact, even if we analyze that Prince William and Mayor Howard are the main messengers, it will be useless. It is impossible for us to accuse them because of this matter, let alone Retrieve the gem through normal channels.”

"First of all, we can confirm one thing. Those who steal things are definitely not living beings but aliens. The most likely ones are other deep divers."

"I feel relieved that you understand this." Miss Valente showed a relieved expression, "I thought you were thinking about how to knock on the door."

Miss Valente smiled bitterly and said, "If you investigate slowly, you may be able to find the target."

The so-called Dagon is that alien creature made of gray silt and human heads. It is a dependent of the Lord of R'lyeh. It is quite powerful. It is said that it is enough to fight against level eight or even level nine soul-shifters.

"Why?" Miss Valente asked, "Because only deep divers can lurk near the sunken ship for a long time, discover our actions immediately, and then take the opportunity to take action before us?"

"This is only one of the reasons, but not the main reason. The point is that Alice and the others hid the gems in Dagon's lair, which is the safest place they can find." Lynch explained, "I asked specifically just now Because of Alice, even if Dagon leaves the nest, he will leave a part of his body to act instinctively. Any creature that enters its body will be attacked independently, unless... it is a different species that enters, especially if Dagon is also affected by Raleye. The aliens favored by the Lord are the deep divers. "That's no wonder." Miss Valente asked, "So what does this mean?"

"It means that after the alien who steals the thing succeeds, it is impossible to deliver the thing directly to Howard, and it is even difficult to hand it directly to his ordinary people, because ordinary people see those aliens, like the reporters in my dream just now Going crazy is the normal reaction.”

Miss Valente was stunned, and then nodded frequently: "It does make sense. Although there is a chance to resist the erosion of filth every time, but to deliver such an important thing, Mr. Howard may not dare to bet on the probability, then if he wants to do it as soon as possible, To get the gem, the person in contact is likely to be the Soul Changer, but this kind of collusion with other people must not be publicized everywhere, so the contact person must be his trusted subordinate... It's a pity that I am right. I’m not familiar with Rhine politicians, so I should be able to guess it.”

"It doesn't matter, because ever since the two detectives from the Hall of Order invited me to Princess Chloe's cocktail party that day, something has made me very strange."

Lin Qi licked his lips and said with a dark smile:

"I previously recommended people from the Rangers to participate in the investigation, but the two detectives said that the Rangers thought they had nothing to do, so they asked me to join the investigation."

"Any questions?"

"The Rangers and I had a lot of conflicts before, especially their leader Walker. In order to compete for power, he sabotaged our investigations time and time again, and even took away all the items and hid them. Even if this really doesn't matter, There is no way to let me participate in the investigation. Unless...he knows the whole story and knows that bringing me into the situation is a trap for me, otherwise they would have come out to cause damage. "

"So you think the Rangers are Howard's confidants?"

"The Rangers are part of the city hall. It's normal for them to be the mayor's confidants. And you see, that's what I just saw."

Lynch pointed to the pier, where a black carriage was parked. Miss Valente took out her binoculars and looked at it, and said in surprise: "It's really the logo of the Rangers."

"Actually, I saw this carriage first and then figured everything out. The Rangers are not responsible for regular patrols, and the dock is not an entertainment place. There must be a reason why the Rangers' carriage is parked here so late. Combined with today's It's so late, I suspect they are just to monitor the execution of the thieves, or simply waiting to receive the gems."

Miss Valente took a breath, pondered for a moment, and then nodded thoughtfully: "So you want to start with the Rangers? What are you going to do?"

"I once read a story about a monkey who wanted to borrow a fan, but the fan owner refused, so he used some tricks to trick the fan away. As a result, the fan owner's husband chased after him and turned into a monkey. My friend took the fan back again."

Lynch blinked narrowly at Miss Valente, crossed his fingers and said:

"Lend me Karina's exquisite makeup. Chief Walker of the Rangers is coming to sympathize with his subordinates and do the night shift for them."

"Yeah, is that okay?"

Miss Valente covered her mouth with a folding fan and looked at Lynch with wide eyes in surprise, as if she wanted to see clearly what was going on in his mind.

"Who knows if it will work if you don't try?"
