Traveling through time as a villain, I became her heart thief

"I never thought of using you..."

"You have it, Miss Caterina."

Gu Qinghan's tone suddenly dropped, and he continued speaking word by word:

"You have a brilliant plan to use me in your search for the perpetrators of the border wall breach."

"Although you tried your best to conceal it, I still discovered it."

"Am I right, Miss Caterina?"

Chapter 76 Flirting (3K)

"...Don't talk nonsense and spit nonsense."

Katarina Yinya bit her lip lightly, her face flushed slightly and she took half a step back.

Gu Qinghan smiled slightly, Catalina's reaction was what he expected.

"From the beginning, your target as a criminal suspect was Richard, not me."

He took steps, walked around Catalina, and continued to speak unhurriedly:

"But even so, you are still investigating me with great fanfare, making the whole world think that I am the suspect."

"Why is this?"

As he spoke, Gu Qinghan's eyes became cold, and the smile on his face made people shudder.

"This is because we have investigation needs." Katarina gritted her teeth and said, her eyes averted.

"Yes, your investigation plan needs me as a cover."

Catalina's face was hot and she didn't refute.

Gu Qinghan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, glanced at Catalina, and then said:

"With Richard's cautious character, it is easy to alert others, and even the slightest carelessness will result in all previous efforts being wasted."

"But the damage to the border wall is huge, and you have to race against time to find the mole."

"So you need to come up with a way that doesn't slow down the investigation into Richard and doesn't make him think he's being investigated."

"So, I showed up."

Having said this, Gu Qinghan paused, showed a meaningful smile and continued:

"Staying at home every day, I don't know what I am doing; I am criticized by my neighbors and I look very suspicious; I am unemployed and not trusted by the government, etc."

"There is no one more suitable to be a scapegoat than me."

Having said this, Gu Qinghan deliberately glanced at Catalina, and then slowly said:

"You introduce Richard to me and ask me to help him find a job; leave Liana to my care so that Richard can show his weakness and act alone."

"Expose me as a target, and you can secretly investigate Richard under the guise of investigating me."

"Miss Catalina, do you think I am right?"

Gu Qinghan smiled slightly, showing a kind smile, which looked so approachable under the early morning sunshine.

As for Catalina opposite him, her face was as red as a ripe apple and her head was about to smoke.

The girl bit her lower lip and was speechless.

Katarina couldn't refute it at all.

Gu Qinghan's sharp words seemed to penetrate her heart and expose the entire plan.

She is obviously the one with the "Tracker" ability, so why is it that Gu Qinghan seems to be able to read her mind?

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Catalina's eyes.

but……

What the young man in front of me said was absolutely true.

The plan to arrest Richard did take advantage of him.

"But, I still don't understand something..."

At this time, Gu Qinghan's tone suddenly became softer and he frowned in confusion.

Catalina pouted.

"what's up?"

"According to my speculation, with your upright character, Miss Catalina, you will not let go of any suspicious person."

"In other words, I'm still very suspicious of this border wall sabotage operation."

"In that case, why didn't you capture me too?"

"After all, the possibility of Mr. Richard and I working together to destroy Beloved City is not zero, right?"

Catalina looked at Gu Qinghan's serious expression and blinked.

Then he couldn't help but chuckle.

Gu Qinghan frowned, not understanding what was so funny about this matter.

"I see, Mr. Hohenheim is very confused about this matter."

As she spoke, Catalina wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then said lightly:

"To put it simply, you are too obvious."

The furrow between Gu Qinghan's brows deepened.

What does it mean?

Does that mean he's too good?

Seeing this, Catalina cleared her throat and continued to explain:

"Let me use an analogy, you meet a guy on the road who claims to be a murderer."

"He walked the streets bragging about his criminal exploits and feeling smug about it."

"Do you think such a guy could be a real murderer?"

Gu Qinghan couldn't help but fell into deep thought after hearing Catalina's explanation.

After a short silence, Gu Qinghan gave the answer.

"To be honest, it doesn't look like it."

Catalina nodded slightly and then said:

"Yes, after an average person commits a murder, the first thing they should do is try to cover up the crime and seize the time to run away instead of showing off."

"Similarly, there are similarities in the impression Mr. Hohenheim gave me."

As she spoke, Catalina held out a finger and then patiently explained:

"Whether it's being alone in a room for a long time, or easily accepting Lianna's invitation, or secretly going to Richard's house for a dinner..."

"Your actions are too obvious."

At this point, Catalina couldn't help laughing, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips.

"It's hard to imagine that this is what a high-level agent sent by the Empire of Joy to the Kingdom of Pure Love would do."

"If this is the case, as the inspector of the Kingdom of Pure Love, I will be happy - because the highest level of the enemy country is nothing more than this."

"I will be able to have a much easier job in the future."

After a long silence, Gu Qinghan sighed helplessly, accepting this statement.

Unexpectedly, all of his plans that he thought were perfect were exposed under Miss Catalina's eyes.

It seems that the effect of the carving magic "Tracer" cannot be underestimated...

Gu Qinghan couldn't help but feel a headache.

"I... still don't understand."

At this time, Gu Qinghan continued to speak:

"Even if the possibility is extremely low, it's not absolute. I shouldn't be excluded directly."

"After all, this is to protect the safety of the residents of Beloved City."

"Miss Catalina, you must have done some other things to make sure that I have nothing to do with the intruder, right?"

Gu Qinghan's tone sounded a little unwilling to give up. It was not that easy to admit that he was not good at it.

Katerina smiled.

"Yes, Mr. Hohenheim is right."

Nodding slightly, Catalina continued:

"So, I also set a trap for you."

"trap?"

Hearing this, Gu Qinghan couldn't help but be startled.

The corners of Catalina's lips raised slightly, showing a slightly proud expression, and she said happily:

"On the day I told you that the border wall was breached, I said something before I left. I wonder if Mr. Hohenheim still remembers it?"

Gu Qinghan was startled at first, and then couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

That morning, Catalina suddenly visited him to tell him the news, which surprised Gu Qinghan.

Before she left, she specifically said this to Gu Qinghan:

"Mr. Hohenheim, you are not a criminal who was smuggled from the Empire of Joy, are you?"

In the memory, Catalina's expression was very serious, and her eyes flickered with suspicion.

Of course, Gu Qinghan gave a negative answer and claimed that he was not a sinner.

But what kind of trap is this kind of question?Gu Qinghan couldn't help but frown.

After thinking for a short time, he then remembered something, and a glimmer of light flashed before his eyes.

"Yes, when I asked this question, I had already used the 'Tracker' effect."

A hint of cunning flashed in Catalina's eyes, and she continued with a smile:

"So if Mr. Hohenheim told a lie, I would have caught him on the spot~"

Gu Qinghan blinked and realized what happened at that time.

Depend on!

Did it turn out that I once walked through the gate of hell?

Gu Qinghan felt inexplicably annoyed, this "Scarring Magic" was simply impossible to guard against!

When he looked at Catalina's slightly satisfied face, Gu Qinghan couldn't help but sigh and felt a little headache.

It seems that I need to be more careful with her in the future.

"As expected, Miss Catalina is an excellent investigator."

"Thank you for the compliment~"

"Using ignorant people to make the other party live in fear every day, we must also capture the real criminals."

After a pause, Gu Qinghan continued:

"I am in a state of panic every day. Even if I deceive the citizens of Beloved City, I must use thunderous means to find the criminal. I really admire him."

Catalina frowned slightly, feeling a hint of irony in her words for some reason.

"You must be a pervert, right?" Gu Qinghan said coldly.

"what?"

Catalina opened her eyes wide, her face felt slightly hot, and then defended:

"I did it to arrest the criminal, okay? Besides, is there a more secure way than this?"
