Chapter 65: Third-rate Detective Opera (3)
"Welcome, welcome."
"I'm sorry, I really don't have the strength to get up to greet me again, so please sit down by yourself."
The old housekeeper stepped forward and naturally pushed the wheelchair, so that the middle-aged man could look at Gu Moli and Hua Qiong head-on, his face and body shape were the same, and under the sickly paleness, there was a sense of weakness, like a fire that was about to be extinguished, but even so, what should I say.....
It's almost extinguished.
But it's unusually bright.
"Two? Don't you want to sit down? β
β.... Yes! Be! β
Gu Moli was a little stunned for the first time, not by appearance, not by power, not by money, but by some invisible momentum on the other party.
However, the detective's professional instinct still gave rise to a trace of doubt in his heart.
β.... Excuse me... Mr. Li? Did you already know that Hua Qiong would come? β
Please note.
Just now, Li Caijin said, "Please sit by yourself."
At that time, Li Caijin hadn't turned around yet, and he hadn't seen anyone entering the door, and Gu Moli and Hua Qiong hadn't spoken, so how did Li Caijin know that Hua Qiong was also here?
Regarding Gu Moli's inquiry, Li Caijin only smiled slightly.
"I don't know."
"What....?"
"I guess."
Li Caijin smiled very elegantly, a pair of somewhat cloudy eyes swept over Gu Moli's whole body, as if he had found something interesting, Li Caijin seemed to be more and more happy.
"Mr. Gu, your outfit is a style from three years ago, to be precise, it is a suit that Zegna sold to the public in July of the year before last, and it is a very old type at this time."
"Uh....."
Gu Moli was a little embarrassed: "I just don't wear this kind of clothes often...."
"Creases."
β.... Huh? β
"You're very old, but it's not that you don't use it often, and there are creases on it, which means that you have only used it recently, this should be your work clothes, right? It can give people a professional feeling, but because of the lack of money, I haven't changed it since I bought it. β
Hua Qiong on the side let out a somewhat low whisper: "Oh? β
Gu Moli sank his face.
And Li Caijin continued calmly: "I have investigated you, Mr. Gu, you are a seemingly ordinary, but in fact very smart and thoughtful person, so you should think about it, even if there is an invitation, there is no guarantee that you can meet me at the first time." β
"So you need someone with that ability."
"I believe it's this young lady, right?"
"In my opinion, you should have waited until the young lady next to you came to you, and then deliberately revealed the idea of coming to see me, so as to arouse the interest of this young lady and let him take the initiative to come with you, so that it is easier to do so, and you don't have to ask for someone in a low voice."
Hua Qiong: "Is that so!?" β
Gu Moli: "Tsk! β
β.... Mr. Li. β
"Just call me Li Caijin, or you can add a sir."
β.... Mr. Li Caijin, your inference just now is wonderful, but it still can't explain your guess..."
"Oh that."
Li Caijin narrowed his eyes, smiled and said, "I'll tease you." β
Gu Moli: "??? β
"Actually, it's just because the janitor in this room is doing a good job and she's polished the floor-to-ceiling windows behind me so bright that I can see you coming in through the mirror, and by the way, I've decided to give that janitor a promotion and a raise after that."
"What....."
"Look?" Li Caijin spread his hands: "A lot of things aren't that complicated, are they?" β
Well, if it were an ordinary person, Gu Moli would have left now, after all, analyzing other people's every move and psychology in front of others is actually a very offensive thing, but who makes people a local tyrant, ordinary people do this kind of thing is called owing, and rich people are called humor.
So Gu Moli showed an embarrassed but polite smile very cooperatively.
"Mr. Li is really powerful."
"But Mr. Li, please explain it to me."
"What's up with this letter?"
Gu Moli raised the white envelope in his hand and said in a stiff tone.
And Li Caijin pouted: "Are you questioning me?" β
β... No, I'm asking you. β
"Then I choose not to answer you."
Li Caijin smiled like a naughty boy and said, "Or can you tell me your guess?" I'll tell you right. β
β..... I speculate. β
Gu Moli had a cold face and continued: "This is a murder notice. β
As soon as the words fell.
Behind Gu Moli, Hua Qiong involuntarily held her breath, and behind Li Caijin, the old housekeeper didn't seem to hear half of everything, just lowered his head.
After a long time.
Li Caijin slowly spoke: "Murder notice? Why? β
"Because that's how it's written."
Gu Moli put the envelope on the table: "Mr. Li Caijin, you also have your own network in the world government, so I won't go around in circles, you should have participated in the research and development of "Hero Trial", so you will use this special sentence format in the letter." β
"The meaning of this letter is simple, apart from the spoof nonsense, there is really only one sentence: there will be a horrific incident in the Twin Towers, and assuming it is not a prank."
"Except for the possibility of the murderer himself."
"It can only be Mr. Li Caijin, you have the ability to predict."
"Which one are you?"
"The former."
Li Caijin replied without hesitation, without even the slightest pause.
This decisiveness made Gu Moli's mood sink rapidly.
β... In other words, even at this point, do you still plan to kill? β
"I never said that."
Li Caijin smiled gently, like an ordinary elder: "Mr. Gu, I have said, I have investigated you, you are actually a very smart person, you know how to make yourself an ordinary person, can you tell me, why did you come here with all your heart?" β
"Thoughtful?"
"Of course."
Li Caijin glanced at Hua Qiong: "... If you think it's not a good idea to take the trouble to invite such a beautiful young lady to accompany you? β
"Of course not!"
"Ahem!"
Ignoring Hua Qiong's coughing, Gu Moli frowned and looked at the withered middle-aged man in the wheelchair: ".... Mr. Li Caijin, I must warn you that killing is illegal, no matter what the reason, killing is the worst option, if you are willing to share your troubles with me...."
"Mr. Gu."
Li Caijin interrupted Gu Moli's words: "..... Why are you here? β
β..... Stop the killings. β
βGreatγβ
Li Caijin smiled even more happily: "I allow you to move anywhere in this building until you feel safe, since the best detective in Guanghui City wants to prevent the murder from happening, of course I will not restrict your actions, please do what you think." β
β..... I mean, you should give up ....."
"Lao Chen, send off."
Li Caijin's wheelchair slowly turned, and he looked at the floor-to-ceiling window again, no longer facing Gu Moli and the others.
.... All right.
Hearing this, Gu Moli finally understood.
That letter was more than just a murder notice.
It's a letter....
Challenge letter!
