"Sorry, my personal taste is a bit unique and I don't like the flavors that everyone likes, so I can only bring the dishes with me."

"Every time I go out to eat, I am forced to bring a lot of bottles and cans. I am also very distressed."

"Please help me cook~"

Although these words sounded sincere, everyone present knew that not a single word was true.

It's all lies.

On the contrary, the sarcastic curve of her lips and the teasing and sarcastic gaze revealed her true feelings.

"We all understand, Miss Lina. You don't have to blame yourself too much."

Gu Qinghan nodded stiffly, his expression dull and his face gray.

For the next three to 10 minutes, Hohenheim had no chance to make excuses or add a single drop of prepared ingredients to the dish.

As for Liana, after she saw little Liana taking out those flavorings, her eyes became hollow and dull.

All roads are blocked.

Like a machine, she held the pre-prepared ingredients in her hands and walked step by step into the final kitchen, her mind going blank.

It’s over.

Mr. Hohenheim spent a week, day and night refining the drug and carefully laying it out, just to induce Miss Lena to take the drug today.

But now, this carefully laid out kitchen was like the door to hell, opening its bloody mouth to bite Liana and swallow her whole alive.

There is no other way.

In the next half hour, all the cooking procedures of the dish named "Pheasant Stewed with Mushrooms" are under the supervision of Inspector Lina, and no one can fake it.

Until the dishes were finished, Lianna's eyes never regained any brightness.

Like a puppet that has been wound up, it executes the program that has been set.

And all of this was seen by Little Lina who was supervising from the side, causing the curve of her lips to rise even more wantonly.

Chapter 22 Acting

"Mr. Hohenheim, how do you feel about this news?"

The corners of Little Lina's lips raised in a meaningful arc, and she stared at the man with a smile.

Hohenheim's expression was stiff, and it took him a long time to take a breath and show a calm expression.

"This approach really improves efficiency."

"Oh?"

Little Lina couldn't help but her eyes lit up, "Do you also agree to this plan?"

"No, I'm just saying it could work, but I personally don't agree with it."

Hohenheim shook his head slightly, then added with serious eyes:

"If we adopt this method, it is very likely that our intentions will be exposed and the spies of the Happy Empire will be aware of the danger in advance, which will cause great harm."

"Gathering citizens can greatly improve the efficiency of interrogations, but it can also easily provide hostages to the other party."

"So I don't think it's appropriate to take such a radical approach."

Hohenheim spoke every word, his expression was extremely serious, and his attitude was really sincere.

Little Lina was startled for a moment, then the corners of her lips raised slightly, and she nodded with a smile.

"Sure enough, Hohenheim will reject this proposal~"

She glanced at Hohenheim with a smile, picked up a cherry tomato from the dinner plate, bit into it gently and tasted it.

Beside her, Liana's chest was beating like a deer, she didn't dare to say a word, her heart was in her throat.

She could vaguely feel that Mr. Hohenheim and Miss Lina were testing each other.

On the surface, it seemed that they were discussing Miss Catalina's battle plan, but in fact the two sides were talking about unrelated things.

"Miss Catalina has been reluctant to move forward with the plan and has similar concerns."

"But in my opinion, this is a completely unnecessary concern."

After a pause, Lina's lips curved into a dangerous arc, her eyes flashed with madness and excitement, and then she spoke:

"The bastards of the Happy Empire are best at using tricks to seduce people's hearts and make them fall into lust and die."

"To be affected by magic to this extent means that those citizens are just trash, doesn't it?"

"So what if you die? If you are a fish with an unclean heart, you will die more, which is actually better~"

As she spoke, little Lina smiled slightly, licking the remaining juice at the corner of her lips with her tongue, her eyes shining.

Hohenheim couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and looked at Lina with cold eyes, looking directly into her eyes.

"I'm afraid I don't agree with what Miss Lina said."

Hohenheim's eyes were solemn and he continued word by word:

"Human life is as important as Mount Tai and cannot be treated as a child's play."

"Really? But it seems to me that Mr. Hohenheim would be opposed to this for some other reason."

Little Lina couldn't help but chuckle, the corners of her lips curved meaningfully, and she looked at Hohenheim with a smile.

Hohenheim couldn't help but frown slightly, and his eyes gradually darkened.

At this point, the smell of gunpowder smoke is already very obvious.

"What do you mean, Miss Lina, do you doubt what I am going to do?"

As if she heard something funny, Little Lina covered her mouth and snickered, blinked and then asked:

"Of course I am doubting you, otherwise why would I put you under house arrest?"

"At a time like this, you're not still pretending to be an irrelevant person, are you?"

Hohenheim's expression was gloomy. After a short silence, he turned to a bitter smile and said helplessly:

"makes sense."

He paused, then looked at Lina with a hint of amusement, and then spoke:

"If I go by Miss Lina's thoughts, I'm afraid I am also a spy of the Happy Empire, and I will do something dangerous that crosses the line at this time, right?"

Little Lina put down the knife and fork in her hand, kept the sly curve of her lips, and looked at Hohenheim with a smile.

Slowly, she said:

"Yes. According to my speculation, you are not 'perhaps' a spy for the Happy Empire, you 'are' a spy."

"Not only that, you have already completed this dangerous move."

Having said this, Lina snorted coldly, glanced at the dazzling array of meals on the table, and continued:

"In the face of such a serious situation, you will do everything you can to get close to Miss Catalina."

"As for me, first of all, as an eyesore, I must be eliminated."

“Particularly, when you understand that time is running out, it becomes even more urgent to remove obstacles.”

"And to you, I am the biggest and most annoying threat."

"So, all your actions, especially those that seem carefree and do not reflect your nervousness, contain dangers."

Little Lina smiled softly, leaning forward with her upper body on the table with both hands, and her snow-white skin could be vaguely seen in the depression of her collar.

The elegant black lace skirt dances, and the inlaid gems make a crisp collision sound, which is soul-stirring.

"For example, this rich and exquisite breakfast."

"Mr. Hohenheim, do you still think that I didn't see through your plan?"

A thunder fell, piercing the gloomy sky.Silver-white lightning burst out of the window, illuminating little Lina's playful smile.

Gu Qinghan's face was expressionless, looking at Lina's unfinished smile, and he couldn't see any emotional fluctuations.

Beside, Liana tried her best to pretend to be calm, but her face was completely pale, completely betraying her.

She was so panicked that even her delicate body began to tremble slightly.

Her hunch was right.

Miss Lina came here this time not for an ordinary routine inspection.

But to put Mr. Hohenheim to death.

Although it sounds a bit exaggerated, you can indeed vaguely see the light and shadow of swords. Every word from both sides stabs each other's vital points, as if you can see blood spattering.

However, at this moment, Hohenheim suddenly chuckled, with a faint expression on his face, he shook his head slightly and said:

"Miss Lina, you think highly of me too much."

Sighing softly, he spread his hands helplessly and said with a harmless look:

"I'm just an ordinary citizen, and I'm still under house arrest. How dare I drug you?"

"And based on my ability, it would be difficult for me to drug the Inspector, right?"

Hohenheim had a smile on his face and did not avoid his gaze, but looked calmly into Lena's eyes.

Little Lina pursed her lips and smiled, with the corners of her lips raised, and she said lightly:

"No, you obviously had the opportunity to drug yourself."

As she spoke, she slowly stood up straight, touched the pattern on the corner of the table with one hand, and walked slowly in the direction of Hohenheim.

Every time she took a light dance step, the expression on her face became gloomy, and the curvature of the corners of her lips also blossomed wantonly.

There was clearly a sense of crazy anticipation in her eyes.

Looking forward to the painful expression on the dirty-hearted man in front of her after she exposed the truth and was completely defeated, she simply couldn't stop.

"This week, you asked Miss Liana to take care of your three meals a day. You need to go out to buy a lot of ingredients for the daily consumption of the two of you."

"But it's all a pretense."

Little Lina raised the corners of her lips, stood less than ten centimeters in front of Hohenheim, stared straight into his eyes and said:

"Your real purpose is to borrow her hand to buy medicinal materials to prepare for today."

"Only by completely hypnotizing me will you be able to lift me from house arrest and interfere with Catalina's censorship plan."

"So these seemingly delicious foods, the steaming hot steamed dumplings, the sweet and delicious glutinous porridge, are all appearances."

"[Great Hypnotist] Mr. Hohenheim, you will never sit still and wait for death. Instead, you will use all available means until you break the deadlock."

"Am I right?"

Outside the window, thunder pierced the sky, as if trying to tear a hole in the dark clouds.

The dazzling white light illuminated the side of Lina's face, and the smile on the girl's face made people feel scalp numb, like the death knell before death.

This time, the expression on Hohenheim's face finally hardened.

Chapter 23 Confrontation

"According to Miss Lina, I added hypnotic powder to this dish?"

After a brief silence, Hohenheim smiled lightly and looked at Lina calmly.

"Not bad." Lina replied proudly.

After laughing, Hohenheim regained his expression, a trace of anger flashing in his eyes.

"Miss Lina, don't forget, until now, I have eaten all these delicacies by myself."

"Is it possible that I would drug myself?"

Hohenheim's words were loud and loud, like a thunder, making the atmosphere in the whole room suddenly become silent and tense.

He was just sitting where he was, but it made people feel like they were looking up at Mount Tai, which was unshakable.

However, on the other side, the smile on Little Lina's face also became wanton.

"Of course you will."
