Chapter 438 Epiphyllum Auction

Liang Xi gave Fanny a smile, got out of the car and walked towards his ball.Is Fanny's statement true?It should be true, the auction is true, it may be true that Hannah invited Fanny to participate.Here comes the question, why did Fanny go to London a week in advance to wait for the auction, and was so bored that she asked Bobby to play ball?Can't you be in London on the day of the auction?

Assuming that Fanny is telling the truth, and assuming that Liang Xi understands that Fanny is correct, the only explanation is: this is an auction that is not scheduled but fixed.Fixed point means that the number of people participating in the auction is fixed and will not increase or decrease.Unscheduled means that the seller will notify the auction at any time.This kind of auction is also called Epiphyllum Auction.

One of the characteristics of epiphyllum is that it is open at night and cannot see the light.The second feature is that it is fleeting and time-sensitive.If you want to appreciate the blooming of the epiphyllum, you must squat near the epiphyllum and wait for the blooming of the epiphyllum.

What type of auction would that be?In theory, it should not be a data-type item, and such items can be auctioned online.But there is a prerequisite, the seller must have a strong computer defense capability, otherwise, let alone auction, it will be stolen directly.

Analyze Fanny again.According to Poppy, Fanny had a slight crush on her.Fanny contacted Neptune Bobby to play, but did not plan to make an appointment with herself.One may be worried that he has a girlfriend, and the other may be that he does not want to have contact with himself.Fanny's refusal to answer her inquiry about the auction seems to indicate this point: Fanny doesn't want to let herself know too much.In this case, why did Fanny say that she would attend the auction instead of Hannah?

One possibility is to lie.One possibility, she didn't pay much attention to it, she didn't think she could think about things so clearly in one sentence.

Now that I think about it, the best way is to monitor Fanny and wait for the auction to appear.But Liang Xi felt very unfriended by doing so.Monitoring Fanny may not prevent the auction from proceeding. It can only prevent Fanny from taking the lot, and can only arrest Fanny. This is not what Liang Xi wants to see.If Fanny didn't say anything, Liang Xi had no choice.

What will the auction be?It should be very important to Hannah to be able to work for Hannah to ask Fanny to attend the auction instead of her.Why not come in person?Because Hannah was inconvenient to show up, maybe Hannah declined the invitation and asked Fanny, who was qualified for the auction, to participate in the auction?What is very important to Hannah?

jewelry?Impossible, not to mention that Hannah can afford a lot of jewelry, and Liang Xi knows Hannah well, Hannah herself is not interested in jewelry.Jewelry is just one of her profit tools.The only things that appeal to Hannah are information and intelligence.Xiao An was killed, and Liang Xi did not rule out that Hannah was behind the scenes.During the blood moon invitation, Liang Xi guessed Hannah's layout.As one of the directors of Blood Moon, Hannah took advantage of Xiao An's death to attack and force Blood Moon to successfully expand her power and influence.She is the biggest winner in the series of incidents of Xiao An's death.

What information?Liang Xi couldn't guess this.But Liang Xi could guess who the seller was.According to all the information that Liang Xi has so far, the only person who fits the identity of the seller is Colonel Marr.As the leader of the Silent Squad, Colonel Marr has a lot of intelligence and information about the Dark Society, perhaps even more information than the president of the Dark Society.The identity of Colonel Mar also fits the identity of the seller of the epiphyllum auction. He cannot set a certain time for the auction, because the people and things around him are changing rapidly.But with so much information, Colonel Marr could invite auctioneers to the auction who he believed would be interested in the information and would not call the police.

This is speculation, paragraph after paragraph of speculation based on Fanny's words.Liang Xi knew that he was unreliable, because he was a commoner, and he would only tell him information when others needed his help.Therefore, the information that Liang Xi can grasp is very limited.

After playing the ball and returning to the car, Liang Xi mentioned what happened in London and Europe recently, and Fanny knew about it.Fanny knows Castle Hylia, the bloody battle at Six Sails Hotel.It is also known that many dignitaries were killed.Fanny is willing to listen to Liang Xi's analysis and learn Liang Xi's way of thinking, but Fanny is not interested in these major events.And never mention anything about the auction.

When Liang Xi drove to the green after hitting the third shot, Liang Xi couldn't help but ask, "Did your head get caught in the car door?" Other people's greetings are answered with um-oh.

Just as Bobby was about to reply, Fanny shook her finger, "It's love, I smell a rancid smell of love."

Liang Xi was startled: "I have it too?"

Fanny sniffed, "The smell of love on you is honey."

Liang Xi asked, "What about him?"

Fanny said: "The smell of decay. The dead bodies of small animals are mixed with the disgusting smell of fallen leaves and dead branches soaked in the stagnant pond. He was choosing whether to drink the water in the stagnant pond, and he knew very well that after drinking it, he would His stomach can't take it. But he can't bear it if he doesn't drink. Because he's very thirsty."

Liang Xi asked: "Is he thirsty? He is quenching his thirst every day."

Fanny shook her index finger again: "No. Normal men can't tell the relationship between surname and love. As a Neptune, Bobby is very clear. He never lacks surnames, and because of this, he desires love even more. .”

Liang Xi didn't quite believe it, and turned to look at Bobby in the back seat: "Selah?"

Bobby stroked his forehead, and said in great pain: "If I don't drink this sip of water, I will always feel uncomfortable. I also know that if I drink this sip of water, I will definitely have a stomachache."

Liang Xi said: "First of all, you must be able to drink water. I don't think you can catch up with Serra. Don't think that you are awesome because you are a rich second generation. You, a rich second generation, are famous in London, the first family in London. .Serra is the number one hacker in the world, and you are nothing in front of her. You are still a Neptune scumbag...you are sick. When a woman looks at you, have you even thought about the name of your grandson? Stop fantasizing , you think that water will cause stomach upset, but the problem is that you can't even drink water. You are not sick, you are looking for trouble."

Bobby was angry and asked, "You look down on me?"

Liang Xi thought for a while and explained: "As an excellent detective, I would never compete with the special police in long-distance running. As a rich king of the sea, you insist on chasing a girl who is not very interested in money. Yes Are you stupid? You can't catch up."

Bobila sleeve: "Bet."

Liang Xi asked, "How long?"

Poppy: "One month."

Liang Xi: "1 million pounds."

"Fuck!" Bobby was shocked, Liang Xi couldn't be so arrogant unless he was absolutely sure.Even so, how could Aquaman lose his momentum: "Okay, I lost 2 million pounds to you."

"After tax."

"After tax."

Fanny was speechless: Two naive ghosts, Fanny said: "Bobby, your ball is in the woods." Not to mention the woods, but artificially planted trees with a size of more than ten square meters.Why Plant Years of Trees?Golf courses not only plant trees, but also dig pits, dug sand traps, and ponds.These special places are not large compared to the area of ​​golf courses, but if you are unlucky, the ball will cry if it is hit on these special terrains.In the official game, some people hit the ball on the tree, forcing him to climb the tree to play.

In addition to these special terrains, the golf course cannot be a plain, but must have hills and height drops.After all, the location of the hole is called the green, not the hole.

Liang Xi and Fanny got out of the car and watched Bobby go into the woods to find the ball.Seeing Liang Xi gloating, Fanny said, "You lost."

"what?"

"Let me tell you, when a girl is not in love with others and is being pursued violently by a boy, as long as the boy is not annoying and has a little liking, she may be able to catch up with the girl." Fanny said: "Bobby's conditions are true. Not bad. Especially Serra is a hacker."

Liang Xi was puzzled: "What happened to the hacker?"

Fanny asked, "Do you know why men always like 18-year-old girls?"

Liang Xi replied, "Because she is beautiful."

Fanny: "Hehe, who do you think is prettier, the 30-year-old me or the 18-year-old girl?"

"Of course it's you."

"That's right, a 30-year-old woman can make up, dress up, and talk, so she should be more popular with men than an 18-year-old girl. But it's not the case." Fanny said: "There is only one reason, 18-year-old girls need At least, they may only need a wild flower that you pick on your birthday. If you give a wild flower to a 30-year-old girl as a birthday present, she will make shit out of her. A 30-year-old girl has experienced a lot and seen a lot. It is already difficult for men to satisfy them, no matter how many things a man does, it is difficult to gain admiration and satisfaction from their eyes."

Fanny said: "As a technical expert, there are many things that Serra has not been exposed to. Bobby can open up a new world for Serra. So your 1 million pounds is basically in vain."

Liang Xi covered his chest, his heart ached!

"Hey!" the bodyguard yelled.

Liang Xi followed the sound and saw a man standing up from the hills more than [-] meters away. This man was holding a small recurve bow, and he shot with the bow.Liang Xi lacks motor cells, but he has been exposed to bow and arrow murder cases recently, and the nerves in his brain immediately sent a dangerous signal.Liang Xi hugged Fanny and fell sideways.

After falling to the ground, Fanny snorted softly, and Liang Xi saw a feathered arrow hanging from Fanny's right arm.

"Roll." The bodyguard shouted.He could see it clearly, after the opponent shot an arrow, he shot another arrow like lightning.

Liang Xi couldn't meet this request, because he didn't have such mental preparation, and he didn't have the memory of rolling in his muscles.Fanny could roll, but Liang Xi was under him, holding Fanny's belly from behind with both hands, and Fanny couldn't roll at all.The second arrow belongs to two-dimensional shooting, which is equivalent to laying the target flat.The feathered arrow passed through Fanny's thigh, but missed the vital point.

At this moment, gunshots sounded, and the archer crouched and disappeared behind the hill line.There were four bodyguards, and Liang Xi, who fell on the ground, saw that the bodyguards were going to divide up, and immediately shouted: "Don't chase." Although you have guns, the opponent's bow is not vegetarian.If all four bodyguards are chasing the archer, there is no problem.But as a bodyguard, he must first protect his employer, and the chief bodyguard must move to the woods.Someone is injured, at least one bodyguard must check the injury and call for help.In this way, there are only two bodyguards chasing the criminals at most.

Not to mention whether the bodyguard will be killed by the other party, it is legally guilty to say that the bodyguard chased the murderer with a gun.Because they are only qualified to use firearms when protecting their employers.When pursuing a suspect, he has no right to use a deadly weapon to attack the opponent.Even a miss is a crime.

The chief bodyguard understood what Liang Xi meant, and ordered the two to stay on guard with Liang Xi and Fanny, while he and Pete went to the woods to protect Bobby.In charge of Liang Xi's side were Pique and a bodyguard. The bodyguard called for rescue, called the police, and was on alert.Peake is responsible for checking Fanny's injuries and giving initial first aid.

Liang Xi was sitting on the grass, and Fanny was lying on Liang Xi's body. She clenched her teeth, was covered in cold sweat, and tried her best not to make a sound.Pique dealt with the feather arrow in the arm first. He asked Liang Xi to grab Fanny's arm, and he held the feather arrow with his left hand, breaking the bamboo arrow as much as possible without shaking it.The arrow cannot be pulled out, and the reason for breaking the arrow body is to prevent Fanny from suffering secondary damage while moving.

Fanny's white clothes were covered in blood. Liang Xi lifted her legs up to prevent the arrows from colliding with her thighs, which also caused him to be stained with a lot of blood.Liang Xi joked, "How should I explain when I go back?"

Fanny choked out a sentence: "Let's just say that you've already had blood with other women, so that everyone can place a bet on whether you will die first or I will die first."

"Haha!" This woman is very interesting.

Pique: "Don't move, don't talk." He is dealing with the bleeding from the wound, and the problem with the arm is not very big.But the thighs are in trouble.The thigh missed the bone, but likely punctured an artery.The only way is to reduce blood flow, tie a rope above the wound, and lift the thigh so that the bleeding site is higher than the heart.Normally Fanny is dead, because it takes 10 minutes to get to the entrance of the golf course from here.Most golf courses are located in relatively remote areas, and it takes at least 7 minutes for an ambulance to reach the entrance of the course.

Fortunately, Bobby is not an ordinary person. The medical helicopter has been dispatched and will arrive at the scene in 5 minutes.

Liang Xi asked, "Can I come out?"

Peake said: "Keep the posture and keep her feet high."

Bobby and the bodyguard quickly ran over: "How is it?"

Pique: "The bleeding is serious."

Bobby was a little hesitant, worried, and said with an attitude of not wanting to believe: "No way? Good people don't live long. He is a scourge. He should be fine."

"XXX." Angry Fanny said, "I was shot by the arrow."

Bobby laughed awkwardly.

"I saw the helicopter." Pete pulled out the smoke device on his waist, walked a few meters away, and let the helicopter intuitively spot the target.

Liang Xi: "My feet are numb."

Fanny: "Me too."

The chief bodyguard heard the same words but had a different reaction.Liang Xi's numbness was real numbness, after all, Fanny weighed more than one hundred pounds, and his feet were on the ground for several minutes.Fanny's anesthesia was excessive blood loss, and she slowly lost consciousness.

When the helicopter landed, a doctor and a nurse bent over and walked towards them quickly. Bobby could see clearly: "Oh! Liang Xi, you will die first."

"What?" Liang Xi turned his head to take a look, and then pushed Fanny aside without hesitation.

It was Karin who came. Karin was surprised to see Liang Xi, and immediately stepped forward to feel Liang Xi's body, speechless for a long time.After confirming that there were no wounds, he hugged Liang Xi tightly, which moved Liang Xi so much.To have a person who cares so much about oneself in the world can suddenly improve the quality of my life to a higher level.Liang Xi almost melted into Karin's embrace, unwilling to separate for a long time.

"I'm sorry to disturb you two. Someone here is dying." In the end, Bobby interrupted the two of them.As for Fanny, she was either in shock from blood loss or fainted from anger.
