Chapter 69 Life is like a drama It all depends on acting
"Good afternoon, I'm Jiao Yan, the investigator in charge of the bloody case of the Alchemy Guild in Kesen City yesterday, and this is my adjutant Mu Zishuang...... I have come here to hope that you will cooperate with my investigation......"
"Oh? It's the Inspector, please come in, please come in......"
Lin opened the door, and with a kind smile, he politely bowed down and invited the investigator into the room.
"This is a place to cultivate, and there is nothing to take out to entertain, or I will go to the hall and call the two of you......"
Jiao Yan nodded appreciatively, and at the same time looked around quietly, as if scanning.
It's a habit she's cultivated for a long time, and for this type of profession, the details are what can really make or break the difference.
"Your Excellency is polite, my purpose this time is to do official work, and I have already understood your kindness, so I don't need to bother Your Excellency......"
After the polite words were spoken, facing the main topic that he was about to enter, the smile on Lin's face remained unchanged: "I don't know, the investigator is driving, what is the matter?" ”
"Your Excellency, you really don't know what happened yesterday?"
Jiao Yan chuckled and asked slowly.
"Recently, I've been busy cultivating, and I don't ask about the outside world, could it be that there is something wrong in Kesen City?"
Lin, who had already guessed Jiao Yan's intention, still kept smiling and began to pretend to be stupid.
"Yesterday afternoon, there was a bloody case in the Alchemy Guild, Master He Xinhang He died on the spot, and the whereabouts of the murderer have not been found out so far. And before that, you seem to have had dealings with He Xinhang......"
"Slow, you said He Xinhang is dead? And what about what I asked him to do! Lin, who perfectly pretended to be shocked, quickly calmed down: "I'm sorry, it's rude down there, I hope you don't mind if you offend." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's reasonable to learn that the news of Master He's unexpected death is somewhat emotional fluctuations for Your Excellency who spent a lot of money to hire Master He to refine, and I don't care about it......" Jiao Yan also looked unhurried, and then her face became serious: "Then can Your Excellency tell me about the matter of the first few days of the incident between Your Excellency and He Xinhang?" ”
"Okay, I'll tell you what I know without reservation......" Lin showed a look of fear hidden in his respect, and took a deep breath and said: "A few days ago, it was the annual Yinghong Academy exam, in order to get a good result, I found a design drawing of a special magic weapon, and entrusted it to Master He, hoping that he could build it for me, so that I could get a good score in the martial arts exam......"
"Then where was Your Excellency when He Xinhang was killed?"
"Hmm...... From today onwards, I have been cultivating here without taking a single step. You can go to the people who play the magic field to testify to this. ”
"It is said that Your Excellency had an accident during the martial arts examination, and when you were about to lose, you took out that powerful magic weapon, and finally thundered and flashed, and the light pierced the tower, Your Excellency shined, and the skills were shocked, and the reversal of the battle was really admirable! It's just that I don't know where that magic weapon is now, can I let the official take a look? ”
"I'm so sorry I didn't carry that artifact with me now......"
Hearing this, Jiao Yan's face was slightly disappointed: "Since you don't have it with you, forget it, I hope Your Excellency will continue to ......"
Lin nodded lightly, his dark eyes looked at Jiao Yan's pupils, and his slightly helpless expression didn't seem to contain a hint of lies:
"Then what I didn't expect was that the next day Master He refined that special magic weapon, but Master He himself didn't seem to be satisfied, he felt a little strict with himself, as if he couldn't refine the most ideal appearance of that magic weapon, he told me to take the one that had been refined to participate in the next martial arts examination, and bet that his name as an alchemy master would definitely refine the best magic weapon for me......"
"I got the magic weapon the next day? It's impossible, even if it is Master He Xinhang, the speed of refining weapons is not possible so fast, let alone such a strong magic weapon......"
At this time, Mu Zishuang, the adjutant who had been sitting next to Jiao Yan and had been silent, spoke, and after realizing his faux pas, Mu Zishuang hurriedly bowed down and apologized.
"I'm sorry about this...... I don't know much about refining tools below, so I can't answer you in detail...... However, according to Master He himself, it seems that some secret method was used, so the refining time was greatly shortened, but He Xinhang also asked for additional remuneration because of this......
"The Oriental refining technique is world-famous, and there is nothing strange about this secret method...... Zishuang, don't suddenly interrupt people next time. ”
Hearing Jiao Yan's slightly angry voice, Mu Zishuang smirked awkwardly, and then really remained silent.
"Alas, just with that magic weapon that was refined in advance, I successfully got a proud result in the martial arts examination of Yinghong Academy, so I am looking forward to the magic weapon that Master He is about to refine, but who knows that God is jealous of talent, Master He ......
Not only can I not get my things now, but the gold coins I used to buy materials have also been lost, I hope that your Excellency Inspector can make the decision for me! Even if I don't want the money, I hope to return the unfinished parts of Master He...... Thank you, Investigator! ”
did not hide his true mood in the slightest, so that what he said seemed to be not half false, with a slightly aggrieved and disappointed tone, the sentences mixed with reality were perfectly told, and between the lines he showed a desire for profit, so as to increase the sense of reality. After listening to Lin's statement, I felt as if the truth was like this, and I couldn't help but admire Lin's acting skills when I looked at Lin's soul like this.
After listening to Lin's words, Jiao Yan frowned slightly, feeling as if she was thinking about something, and then continued to ask: "In addition to these, has He Xinhang said anything worth caring about?" ”
"It's worth caring about, it's worth caring about......" Lin pretended to rack his brains and pondered, and after about half a minute, Lin suddenly said: "Ah, Lord Investigator, I'm very sorry that I couldn't come up with any important information that Master He said. The only thing worth caring about is that it seems that the last time I went there, Master He said, there is a woman from the elf clan who wants to buy my special magic weapon......"
"Yes, that's it! Did He Xinhang say anything else about that elven woman? ”
Jiao Yan couldn't hold her poker face this time, and she shook Lin's shoulders excitedly.
"Ah, Lord Investigator, don't shake it, Master He just mentioned it at that time, and that's really all I know......"
"Okay, then please visit the Alchemy Guild the day after tomorrow, and don't forget to bring your special magic weapon with you. We will conduct further investigations, and we will also arrange for you to compensate......" Stopping, Jiao Yan sighed in obvious disappointment: "Then so be it, it's time for us to leave too...... The information you have provided is very important, thank you again for your cooperation! Zishuang, let's go......"
"Yes, my lord......"
"The two Investigators walked slowly......"
With the sound of the door closing, after the footsteps went away, Lin immediately collapsed to the ground.
"Emma is gone, not only do you have to think of a way to fool those two investigators, but you also have to endure a headache on the one hand......" Lin wiped his sweat after relaxing, turned his head and whispered to the soul: "But it is estimated that the effect should be very good......"
"Tut-tut, your acting skills are really good...... It's a shame not to make a movie, I can't tell if I really go, I can still take that little golden man on your earth, right? ”
"Poof, what the hell...... My appearance is not high, even if my acting skills are good, there is a hairy use? Then again, it's a shame that you can talk nonsense with me at a time like this......"
Throw out a bombshell information that seems to be true or not, shift the focus of the investigation, and finally lure this group of stupid investigators to find an elven woman who doesn't exist at all, so that the truth will sink to the bottom forever. After such a busy and relaxing work, he did not pretend to be a clever plan that he had designed from the beginning.
"Wiped it, ah...... Sure enough, life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills! ”
……
At the same time, two heroic uniformed women walked through the door of the magic field......
"My lord, what do you think of Gu Salin just now?"
Mu Zishuang bent over, his eyes widened and he looked at Jiao Yan with a cold expression, waiting for her reply.
"Four words, self-righteousness!" Jiao Yan shook her cloak and sneered: "He is not the only one with good acting skills...... And through the conversation just now, I am already completely sure that he is the murderer! ”
"Then tomorrow you let him go to the Alchemy Guild, just to arrest him, do you need me to write an arrest warrant?"
"No, no, no, Gu Salin's background is the Smoke and Rain Pavilion, and with the current situation in Kesen City, our arrest of Gu Salin without conclusive evidence will only make things more troublesome...... And I don't think he worked hard to kill He Xinhang at such a cost. Remember what I used to say? The most important thing a good hunter needs to master is not the ability to spot the prey, but the timing of the shot. It's not time to do it now......"
The temperature around her seems to be really a little lower, accompanied by the sound of footsteps brought by the hard soles of her boots and her absolute confidence eyes accumulated with countless successful experiences, I believe that it can make any lawless person with a weak heart feel creepy.
Not including Lin, of course.
