Chapter 22 The Nervous Man
Kino finished dealing with the affairs at hand, seeing that it was still early, he was going to go to the Nightingale Tavern to have something to eat.

The craftsmanship of the barracks chefs cannot be praised, and the things they make are only limited to "eating", and they are not comparable to the desserts made in the taverns.

The stars at night are bright and bright, like lights embellished in the sky, quiet and peaceful.

Under the silent sky, the Nightingale Tavern was as lively as ever. The crowds could almost overturn the roof. People laughed and laughed, pouring wine in their mouths, trying to forget the hard work brought by daytime work.

Chino ordered dark caramel pudding, chocolate sandwich bread, almond and apricot honey baked crisp, fresh cream cheese, honey syrup. After eating it, I felt a little overwhelmed and wanted to change the taste to relieve my tiredness, so I ordered a whole piece of black truffle. cake.

A total of 25 copper moons had to be paid, and he handed the moon coins to the boss.

The black truffle cake was just sold out, and it was baked on the spot, which was relatively slow, so Chino took out the book in his arms and waited while reading.

To be honest, the pub is not a good place to read books, it is very noisy, and there are all kinds of topics among the drinkers. Some people are discussing the girl they had soaked in last night, some people brag about their heroic past, and some people drink while drinking Sing vulgar songs.

Chino was focused and undisturbed.

After a while, the pub door opened.

Two men walked in, and the shorter one was cursing and complaining, "Why is the temperature difference between day and night here so big. Kelin, isn't it cold for you to dress like this?"

The one Gao looked like an older brother, took a seat and beckoned: "Stop complaining, Kerz, let's have something to eat first."

The two ordered some garlic bread, grilled chicken breast, and two cups of fruit wine.

Fruit wine and bread are served cold and served quickly.

Kez ate the bread with his head smothered, drank the wine in the glass in three or two sips, and muttered to himself, "It's really bad, I want to drink what I brought myself."

Ke Lin frowned, but seeing that his younger brother was in a state of irritability, he didn't say much. He let him take out the small jug in his arms, and the two chatted about some things.

Kino was halfway through reading the book, and the maid came over with the baked cake and smiled sweetly: "Good evening, Kino Civil Administrator, this is your black truffle cake, freshly baked~"

"Thank you, just put it next to me."

When the maid left, she accidentally caught a glimpse of Krillin and Kerz, and their eyes were fixed on Chino's back without saying a word.

The maid thought to herself: Lord Kino is really cute and attracts attention wherever he goes.

Kino closed the book and, instead of moving the cake, picked up the water glass and stood up.

Krillin and Kerz took advantage of the situation to withdraw their eyes, and they looked at each other secretly, their eyes seemed to be hidden.

Suddenly, the figure came to them and sat down on the side seat: "Good evening."

They raised their heads subconsciously and saw the pair of gem-like amber pupils.

Krillin nodded: "Good evening, do you have anything to do with us?"

Chino: "This should be my problem, do you have anything to do with me?"

Krillin was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"Your brother complained about the large temperature difference between day and night when he entered the door, indicating that he is an outsider who does not come to Xilin Town often and is not familiar with the climate here; you were chatting just now, after the maid called my name, your conversation was suddenly interrupted, explain my name. Very recognizable in your ears; and" Kino gently lifted Krillin's sleeve, and there was a red mark on his ring finger, which should have been wearing a ring, but now he took it off.

Chino smiled and said, "You are the ones who entered this morning and asked the Palatine Centurion where I was going, right?"

The expressions of the two brothers froze for a moment, and Kurtz touched the bridge of his nose and said, "Your ability to observe is meticulous."

Chino: "Thank you for the compliment. Now that you've found me, what do you want to say to me?"

Kerz laughed dryly, shrugged, and said, "You misunderstood. We only needed entry stamps at the time, and we didn't know that you entrusted the stamps to your subordinates, so we asked him a few more questions."

Chino: "Go on."

Kerz was taken aback: "What continue?"

Chino: "Continue editing."

Krillin and Kerz suddenly caught their breath and got goosebumps.

"You're lying." Chino's eyes were so deep that he could penetrate the heart, "You dare not look into my eyes."

Although Kerz deliberately controlled his gaze, when he looked at Chino's amber pupils, he felt an inexplicable creepy feeling, so his eyes kept drifting.

"Now, you are very nervous, your pupils are dilated, you swallow your throat subconsciously, your lips are trembling, and your pili muscles are contracting. Oh~ you are sweating on your forehead, wipe it off." Kino took out a tissue from his arms, Putting it in front of Ke Lin, the smile is slowly disappearing, and it is classified as cold, "Why lie?"

All the symptoms Chino said deepened on Kerz's face, and it could be seen that he was extremely restless, his nerves were tense to the extreme, and he felt that he would be cut off at any time.

"Hahahahaha!" Without warning, Klein burst out laughing. He patted the back of Kerz's hand to appease him, shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, Mr. Civil Administrator, this is indeed the speech I made up with him in advance. , used to confuse others. Because... what we are going to discuss with you may not be suitable for others to hear."

Chino shrugged, his voice softer: "It's very noisy here, let's just say it lightly. If anyone else hears it, I can detect it, trust me."

"Okay, I believe you." Krillin leaned a little closer and said in a low voice, "Now, the Doguland black market is flooded with salt crystals, and there are repeated prohibitions. The channels for overseas smuggling have never been cut off. Am I right?"

The topic piqued Chino's interest: "What do you guys think about it?"

Ke Lin narrowed his eyes: "If I told you that I have important information about the salt crystal, would you be interested?"

Chino touched his chin and asked with great interest, "I want to ask a question first, so many border towns, so many civil officials, why did you choose to come to Xilin Town to trade with me?"

Krillin coughed lightly and lowered his voice even lower: "I received news from the intelligence dealer that all members of the Mirlo caravan were missing, and the last time they appeared was in Shilling Town. I knew then that you should have cracked the smuggling. The case, must have already known the method of smuggling salt crystals - hidden in the stomach."

Kino's smile became deeper and deeper: "You also know this smuggling method, there is only one possibility - you are also smugglers."

Krillin licked his dry lips: "Yes, that's why my brother is nervous. Right now, our lives are in your hands. But instead of taking our lives, I think you'd be more comfortable with this deal. interested."

"Say."

"You have cracked the smuggling case of the Mirlo caravan, but recently, the border gates of Doguland, including the town of Shilin, have not carried out gastric lavage inspections on other caravans. So I guess, you did not report this method, you should Waiting for an opportunity."

Clinton paused and continued to say in a deep voice: "I have foreseen that once the time is right, you report this smuggling method, and our line of business will be wiped out. Therefore, I want to take my brother to get out as soon as possible."

Klein looked around subconsciously and made sure no one was eavesdropping, so he leaned forward and kept his voice very low: "Tomorrow, we will agree on a hidden location, and I will give you a confidential map, which marks our smuggling. Base. You can hand it over to your superiors for credit, or lead troops to clear it up, I don't care. In exchange, you're going to give me and my brother the same thing - proof of identity - to make us legitimate Dogu Rand Citizen."
