Red Moon Returns

Lynch tilted his head and glanced at Officer Natalie. She looked straight at the serious man, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, obviously satisfied with scaring Lynch.

Lynch was indeed startled, but for another reason.

If anyone here says anything, I'm afraid half of the Rhine City will be affected. I'm just an ordinary private detective. Even if I make a small contribution, I won't attract the attention of so many big shots.

Luck falling from the sky is not necessarily a good thing. I'm afraid there is something wrong here. I have to be careful.

Thinking this in his heart, he still looked nervous on the surface, lowered his head and followed behind Mr. V, carefully walking up to the rostrum.

"Are you Lynch? I heard that you graduated from secondary education majoring in archeology and natural history. I thought you would be older, but you are actually so young. You must be less than twenty years old this year." V whispered a few words in his ear, and the old man looked at Lynch in surprise, "Your Excellency Victor introduced me to your achievements last night. It was really amazing. I think I must invite you to come over and let me Thank you personally for your contribution to Rhine City.”

Lin Qi actually felt very guilty now.

Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, and there were several big shots in front of him, it felt as painful as being tortured. However, as he became more competitive, he tried to stay calm, took off his hat and bowed to the three big shots. He also took a deep look at Laurent, who was wearing a wig.

He had not forgotten that both the mayor and the speaker had been mentioned by Spider-Man Jeremy, but in order to avoid alerting the enemy, he still pretended to be unaware and focused his attention on Duke Wayne.

"Young people performed very well last night. They were wise and courageous. They are role models for the youth of the kingdom. However, you should pay more attention to safety next time. I heard that if a super strong man hadn't attracted a ray of moonlight, you would have It’s dangerous.”

Um? Why is he bringing up these irrelevant topics at this time? Fortunately, I asked just now, otherwise I wouldn't know what he was talking about.

Lin Qi was a little confused, but he still pretended to be stupid and said: "Is that moonlight caused by a super strong person? I don't even know."

"Oh, maybe so. We are not sure. Everyone is guessing that there is such a person, otherwise many things cannot be explained." Duke Wein smiled noncommittally, "You are the closest contact, so why not tell me too? Tell me your opinion. Do you think this superpower exists? If so, what is his purpose? "

Lynch became even more puzzled when he heard it, and he didn't understand Duke Wayne's intention at all. He was just about to say a few words to the Duke when he suddenly realized it in his mind.

He didn't think that the so-called super strong man was helping me last night, was he testing me?

No wonder, this can explain today's pomp and circumstance, as if the company boss doubts the employee's background.

It's just to sell favors, give more benefits, and be more inclined.

what should I do?

Lin Qi quickly made calculations in his mind.

I'm afraid the explanation is unclear. As long as the other party has this idea, the explanation will only become darker and darker.

Besides, why should I explain?

The benefits that are delivered to your door will be punished by God if you push them out.

Since you guys like brainstorming so much, let your brainstorming be enjoyable.

Having made up his mind, Lin Qi smiled and shook his head: "I'm not sure about that. I'm just an ordinary private detective. The world of legendary strong men is too far away from me. I don't understand. I think Maybe it doesn’t exist. Even if it does exist, I don’t think it has any purpose, it’s just an accident.”

"she?"

"Ah, you just said moonlight, so I imagined you as a lady, hahaha." Lynch smiled awkwardly, "Anyway, these things have nothing to do with me, I am just a poor private detective."

"Hahaha, I understand."

Although Lynch didn’t know what he understood, Duke Wayne was obviously very happy and said with a smile on his face:

"You took such a big risk for the kingdom and the Rhine last night. The kingdom will never ignore your achievements. Aren't you a private detective? And you are also a private detective in your mysterious world. So, from today on, you are a member of the Governor's Palace. A long-term special consultant, with a monthly salary of three pounds, and someone will be sent to your office at the end of the month. "

"As a consultant, you don't need to do anything extra. The only requirement is that in the future, when the Governor's Mansion encounters difficult and mysterious cases, they will be forwarded to you through the Watcher, and the commission fees will be settled normally. You must give priority to the commissions from the Governor's Mansion. responsibilities of the consultant, otherwise the consultant's contract will automatically terminate."

"In addition, Victor selected two special documents for you from the collection of our Venn family. It is said that they are what you urgently need at this stage. I will have people send them to the Watcher tonight together with the consulting contract. The club, let him handle it."

Is there such a good thing? Sure enough, there are additional benefits.

Lin Qi licked his lips, feeling a little hopeful.

With three pounds a month, you basically don't have to worry about rent and food. It's not too little, and you don't have to do anything. It's just used to maintain relationships. If there are any entrusted commissions, it will be calculated separately, which is equivalent to free income.

And these are just tacks on at most, the Duke's behavior itself is the most important reward. With the Duke setting an example, if the senior officials present need to deal with mysterious incidents in the future, even if they want to give the Duke face, they will give priority to Lynch. This is a very precious intangible asset. No wonder

But what Lynch is really looking forward to are those two special documents. You can guess that these things are probably mysterious documents that can allow him to understand his abilities. This is what he needs most now, and the market price is quite expensive, ranging from more than ten pounds to dozens of pounds. Now Lynch can't afford one even if he loses all his money.

Sure enough, as Natalie said, the money was not much, but it was a real bumper harvest, which made Lynch feel a little embarrassed for a while.

"Hahaha, young man, you helped the Rhine City Government resolve a public opinion storm. If we treat you badly, no one will be willing to serve the Kingdom and Rhine City in the future. Just accept the reward with peace of mind. There will be many things to do in the Rhine City in the future. A capable young man like you.”

It makes sense that if you work hard, you will get something.

Lynch quickly calmed down and stopped refusing. He thanked Duke Wayne, said hello to Mr. V, and hurriedly left the council chamber accompanied by Officer Natalie.

Really uncomfortable with the atmosphere inside, Lin Qi didn't let out a long breath until he left the door of the city hall, stretched hard, and turned back to smile at the police officer.

"Thank you. As soon as I heard it, I knew that you helped me get it. No one but you knows what I am in urgent need of now."

"I just told Victor your needs. He helped you choose. You want to say thank you and go to him." The police officer said, she smiled first and rolled her eyes at Lynch, "Today's mission It’s over, we’ll get the documents in the evening. Now, what are your plans to go to the Investigator’s newspaper office as you said yesterday? I doubt if anyone will be working there today after the torture last night.”

"Yes, we reporters don't mind staying up late." Before Officer Natalie finished speaking, someone from the reporters squatting at the door of the city hall responded, "We just came out of the newspaper office, everything is normal."

"Are you from the Investigator? There happened to be something." Lynch and Natalie looked at each other and secretly said that they were a bit stupid. The Investigator is a big newspaper. With so many reporters squatting here, it is impossible not to have their people. , "There is a reporter named Donny Nutton. Do you know which newspaper he belongs to?"

"Do you know him?" Several reporters whispered, "He is from our newspaper, but he has been missing for five days."

"Also missing is his partner, Maya Sers."

Sure enough, I guessed it right, it really does matter.

Lynch felt a little cold in his heart, and looked at Officer Natalie, who was also squinting in thought.

After thinking for a moment, Lynch deliberately asked nonchalantly: "Can't find them yet? That's not good. Then do you know who was responsible for the interview about the Best Tunnel incident some time ago?"

"What a coincidence, it seems to be them too. But we're not sure, so you'd better go to the newspaper office and ask."

Lynch and Natalie looked at each other, feeling that there was an invisible thread connecting all these things.

The two wanted to ask more questions, but a few well-dressed gentlemen walked out of the city hall. A group of squatting reporters immediately surrounded them and left them aside.
