The red moon returns

Chapter 71 Photos
  Sure enough, these guys were not simply involved in the robbery, they were deliberately causing trouble and creating obstacles.

The Excellency they are talking about is probably the culprit who instigated them to do this. They are not sure whether it is Speaker Grant, and they do not know whether the fourth person in the city council has the power to influence the Rangers.

And the Excellency in the frame must be the mastermind behind the scenes. It seems that they and the mountain people are not on the same road. Yes, the mountain people are clearly opposed to the tunnel, but this group of people behave more like they support the construction of the tunnel. Let’s divide it like this for now.

Lynch's brain was spinning rapidly, and the conversation between the few people just now was repeated over and over again in his mind, trying to savor every word they said. According to them, Maya had established a relationship with Mordiggian, the King of Gloomy Bones. It was the so-called hearing its whisper, which was probably why she was also transforming into a ghoul.

It seems that for this reason, she has become important to the mountain people, and the Rangers and the masterminds are now looking for her.

What did those ghouls want to do to her? It wasn't Mordiggian who wanted to sacrifice her to them. What about the Rangers? Using Maya as a gift in exchange for benefits?
  It seems that it is right to wait for the news for a while. Let's find out their purpose first. Otherwise, although I am a useless detective, I can't work for free. Let me help you find Maya for free. You are afraid that it is not the case. There's something wrong with my brain, and that's my fellow sufferer who has the same problem. You must give me money!
  Amusing himself, Lynch quickly rummaged through the Ranger's office. He did not expect to find the order left by the instigator for the Ranger. This kind of secret contact with mysterious aliens deliberately interfered with the royal secret service. If the department's behavior in handling cases can leave written evidence, then these people are not worth caring about. These people must have attached great importance to confidentiality. Lynch even suspected that the fire in the data room that afternoon was caused by these people in order to destroy the contents in the railroad incident files that could kill Downey.

But after searching around, I actually found something.

A photo of a young lady.

Even black and white photos cannot hide the charm of the portraits.

Even if you look at it from the perspective of your hometown, the lady above is still quite beautiful.

Wearing traditional aristocratic lady costumes and feather hats, you are greeted with grace and nobility.

Lynch remembered this face. He had seen it once in the city hall a few days ago. It was the photo of the eldest daughter of the noble Valente family.

Turning over the photo, there were words written on the back.

Diana de Valente, 22 years old, Sister of the Passion, Level .

The eldest daughter of the Valente family. This family is suspected to have a close relationship with the mountain people. They have been appointed by the Passion Church to stay in Rhine City for two years. They do not rule out taking the opportunity to deepen their ties with the mountain people and conspire. Try to pay more attention to it. However, the Valente family has a profound background and must be avoided at all costs. Have a head-on conflict with it. "

Sure enough, this great nobleman really has a connection with the ghouls. It is probably with their support that a group of mountain ghouls can fight against city-level or even national-level tunnel plans.

So what is the purpose of the rangers and the masterminds looking for Maya? Is it to sacrifice Maya to the ghouls in exchange for them not to obstruct the tunnel project?

It was self-consistent, but this was pure speculation. Not only was there no basis, but it was not even unique. Lynch finally shook his head and threw this conjecture aside.

Just be suspicious for now. There is too little information now. Let's wait for the information from the capital to come back. Then we will first explore the relationship between this great nobleman and the ghoul, and then consider countermeasures.

With his decision made, Lynch put everything back in place and quietly exited the Ranger's office.

I wanted to help them sort out the documents, so that you wouldn't have nowhere to store them next time when you were trying to grab information and would have to dig out your lighters, but after much hesitation, I gave up.

The main reason is that he is not sure that he only burned this one. It would be a crime to burn down the entire Hall of Order.

Forget it, spare them once and settle the score next time.

Lin Qi quietly opened the door of the office and returned to the corridor while no one was outside. Without using his stealth ability, he walked down the stairs openly. The situation in the east building was a bit chaotic. Many people in blue uniforms were running down the stairs, and there were many people making noisy noises outside. It was no less than the fire scene that day.

Several people ran past Lynch, but Lynch was so calm that no one asked him about his identity. In the end, he took the initiative to grab a passing man in blue uniform and flashed the emblem in his hat: "I see Ranger." Their emergency bell is ringing, what happened?”

"Sir, report that twelve special corpses have been discovered. According to regulations, the ranger and watcher leaders have been notified."

"How special is it?" Lynch estimated that the so-called special corpses were probably corpses that died in strange ways, mostly related to mysteries.

The man in blue uniform spread his hands and seemed to know nothing about it. Knowing that it had nothing to do with his commissioned task, Lynch had no interest in it and slipped out of the Hall of Order contentedly.

Knowing the bad intentions of the Rangers and getting a glimpse of some information about the Valente family, Lynch felt that today's trip to the Hall of Order was not in vain. The key was that he applied lurking and phantom sounds to actual combat for the first time, and it worked surprisingly well. use. This made Lynch determined to apply it to more critical places next time, such as Room 304 of a certain club.

It was almost eleven o'clock, so Lynch didn't delay any longer. He went to the business district near Crown Plaza and spent three pounds to customize a strong safe at the "Crazy Blacksmith".

This is a newly opened metal business. It is not traditional hand forging. All products are industrially produced, made quickly, and at low prices. In recent years, similar shops have popped up from time to time, selling products directly from nearby factories. They all have a bad reputation, but for some reason, the number of customers is increasing.

Lynch knows what the development trends are, but they are nothing compared to the road to immortality. Therefore, like most people, he chose the one with the best value for money regardless of his feelings, and then sent all today's receipts to the Dark Night Cathedral.

He is going bankrupt, and he must find a way to regain his blood before this month's five pounds are reimbursed.

It was impossible to work part-time, the money came too slowly, so the only thing I could do was work hard on the task, complete Mrs. Sterling's commission as soon as possible, and earn as much as I could.

Throughout the morning, all the plans were completed step by step. Lin Qi was in a good mood. He hummed the children's song of his hometown, "The Bridge Fell Down", and thoughtfully replaced "xx" with "Rhine", and walked back quickly in the horrified eyes of passers-by. Apartment 221, I laughed out loud as soon as I walked in.

The little thing didn't dare to sit down, so he could only lie down at the dining table with his butt sticking out, and was preparing lunch with his mother. When he saw that Lynch was back, he immediately showed an angry quail look in his eyes and stared at Lynch with his mouth bulging. He made a face by the way.

Um? Lynch slapped him in one fell swoop.

"Yeah, Mom, he's going to beat me again!" Little Martha immediately covered her butt and moved towards her mother.

The blond lady covered her mouth and smiled, and said softly to Lynch: "Mrs. Sterling came to see you just now and left when she saw that you were not here."

"I don't think she's in the square either." Lynch frowned, "Why, has the situation changed?"

"She didn't tell me in detail, but it seems that Janet's condition is not very good and she can't come over. I hope you can come to visit if it's convenient."

Lin Qi felt that the good mood of the morning had quickly left, and nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that it is not just a matter of mental breakdown, otherwise it would not be impossible to come. The situation may be more serious than I thought.

Let’s go and have a look after lunch.
