Chapter 497: Suspicious Person (Second Update)

"Top masters?" William felt even more incomprehensible, but said, "It's okay, everyone here will help you then, I have already told my father about this." ”

"The people behind the Skull and Bones Guild are among these people, right?" Shi Xun asked very naturally.

"So, this birthday party is a double kill." William said, and began to walk towards the door.

Shi Xun's gaze was still on the scabbard, he found that this thing seemed to have a huge magic force to attract him, and the desire to get it was becoming stronger, and his hand involuntarily stroked the glass cover covering the scabbard, which seemed unfinished, William did not notice, but the camera installed in the corner of the ceiling was really watching all this.

At this time, Shi Xun knew in his heart that if he wanted to hurry, he would not reach it, although the goal was close at hand, but if he really wanted to forcibly take it for himself, the possibility of retreating from the whole body was almost zero, and in doing so, he would completely become an enemy of the skeleton society, such a result was not what he wanted, and it was imperative to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

"Let's go, the ceremony is about to begin." William, who was not far away, called out to Shi Xun.

Shi Xun, who was pulled back to his thoughts, came to his senses, and followed William's footsteps out of the collection room, while the stone door slowly closed, his eyes were still staring at the position of the scabbard, until he was completely blocked by the stone door.

After returning to the open lawn, he saw Jack eating and drinking around the dessert table, and in the middle of the dance floor area, Jenina and Phelps were dancing as a duet like everyone else, among which Phelps was full of spring, but Jenina was extremely reluctant, and when she saw Shi Xun coming out, she quickly took off the other party's hand, ran forward and asked, "Where did you go just now?" I'm being pestered by someone! ”

"Just went in and had a look." Shi Xun glanced at William beside him, "I will definitely do my best to do what you entrust me." ”

"Then it's up to you, Knight of the East." William smiled gentlemanly at Jennina, "Have fun, everyone." ”

With that, he left to greet the other guests.

"Isn't he the eldest young master of the Taft family? What do you entrust you with? Jenina seemed curious, and Phelps came to them.

"Isn't it helping the organization find out who is behind it?" Shi Xun said perfunctorily.

"Well, Ponty has already made the move." Phelps gestured to Ponty, who was sitting in the lounge.

"Did you find anything?" Shi Xun asked.

Phelps looked at his phone: "Through signal capture and call filtering, it is true that someone is planning something, but they are using Morse code, which I once taught myself with interest, and I know a little bit about it, and I can only crack it roughly." ”

He pointed to the irregular numbers sent by Ponty on his phone, and continued: "There are repeated references to the words 'deal', 'evidence', 'report', and everything else is inexplicable, such as 'teeth', 'big guy' and so on. ”

"Can you find out who's posting this?" Shi Xun asked.

"There are too many people, and they can't be located at once, so they can only be screened by those people leaving the seats, and I'm afraid it can't be very accurate."

"It's okay, as long as the fish is still in the pool, there will be a moment when it is hooked." Shi Xun was talking, the music around him stopped abruptly, followed by the host's warm-up, after some opening remarks, I saw a middle-aged man sitting in an electric wheelchair, describing a dignified and dignified middle-aged man came to the center of the stage, holding the microphone and said to the audience: "Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to come today......

Everyone listened in silence as he spoke, and this man was none other than the current patriarch of the Taft family, William's father, Scott Taft, the man who was known as the de facto ruler of the Skull and Bones Society today.

While listening to Scott's speech, Shi Xun's eyes were scanning everyone around him, observing their every move, judging which ones were plainclothes bodyguards and which were real guests, most of them came with female companions or spouses, but one of them seemed to be a couple who caught his attention.

The behavior of the two people is obviously different from the others, and it seems that they naturally keep their distance, which is not so much a couple or a husband and wife, but more like a partner and a colleague.

The boss on the stage was speaking, and the people below naturally didn't dare to move less, and the closest to the two was Jack, so Shi Xun quietly sent a message to Jack through his mobile phone.

When Jack received it, his originally leisurely appearance immediately became nervous, and he repeatedly looked at the two people next to him with his peripheral vision, and began to rack his brains to think of ways to make the other party show his flaws.

Suddenly, he actually tried to talk to the other party in a low voice, maybe chatty is Jack's housekeeping ability, Shi Xun sweated for him, but there are a lot of plainclothes bodyguards here, and the other party should not make drastic moves.

By the time Scott finished speaking, the music started again, and the bottom was back to Pie's appearance, and the two suspicious elements disappeared.

Jack glanced at Shi Xun and walked towards the temporary audio console behind the stage, Shi Xun slowly followed, the audio console was covered by the stage background, and the location was relatively hidden, which was an excellent place to exchange information.

Shi Xun looked at Jack, who was sweating profusely and drinking water, and asked, "What did you just talk about?" ”

"Those two are definitely professional!" Jack swallowed, looking apprehensive, "You know, I lied to them that I was actually the gardener here, waiting for the lawn to be tidied up after the end of the field, so they asked me how Scott was a person, how he usually treats people, at first I just thought they were looking for a random topic to chat about, but the more I got to it, the more I felt wrong......"

"What's wrong?"

"For example, later on, he asked me who came here a lot, and what Scott usually talked about with them...... Anyway, it felt like I was recording a statement at the police station, and I said, these two guys can't be cops, right? ”

"It stands to reason that the police won't come to the Taft family...... Shi Xun thought for a moment, "but I did hear that the Taft family used to do white powder business, but in recent years, due to the strict control of the federal government, since he is a giant of the Skull and Bones organization, he will not take this risk, just the profits obtained in other fields, this family can occupy the top few places on the Forbes list all year round." ”。

"Who is going to have trouble with money?" Jack waved his hand, "What if they're still doing their old business behind their backs?" ”

Shi Xun thought back to the Morse codes that Phelps had cracked just now, and then contacted the purpose of someone trying to bring down the entire Skull and Bones Society, and said: "Anyway, let's find out where those two guys came from first!" ”
