"Seeing how bad you are talking about, I don't even know if I will come back. And you don't seem to be worried at all right now. Pellelot looked at the great detective a little speechlessly.

"Mr. Merchant must not have seen the actor's self-cultivation." Simon Riley quipped.

"What do I see that doing? I'm not an actor. Pellelot pouted.

"It's all disguise, disguise! In fact, my heart is pounding with fawns, and it is almost jumping out of my throat...... You have to show a nervous expression, people will think you have a problem at a glance, be natural, come, take a deep breath......" Simon Riley took a deep breath, but he smoked the pipe in his hand, exhaled a thick cloud of smoke and shouted "It's so cool".

Pellet, who often mixes with merchant bars and has long been accustomed to the smell of tobacco, does not alike such a smell, just by smelling the smell, he knows that this is very high-quality, expensive tobacco, but he will not smoke this thing, because it will be addictive, not to mention harmful to the body, the key is that it burns out money! Pellelot, who seemed to have inhaled some second-hand smoke from Simon Riley's spit out, sighed, "There's no need to be so troublesome, I'll just treat it as if I was doing business at the same time." ”

Pelelot shook his head and said seriously: "Mr. Merchant, when the time comes, everything will be handed over to me, and you will be your subordinate, and some interrogation skills as a detective are not something you can master." ”

"You?" Pelelot's face was suspicious, and he asked in a deep voice: "Your Excellency has experience as a businessman?" ”

"Nope." Simon Riley replied honestly.

Just when Pelelot was about to speak, Simon Riley said with a smile: "Mr. Merchant may have underestimated the detective, as a detective, he often has to put himself in the shoes of others to consider problems, that is, think about what others think, understand the way of thinking of victims and murderers, understand their occupations, habits, personalities, and motives for killing...... So it's not a big problem for me to play a businessman. In the end, Simon Riley added, "Before becoming a detective, I watched the actor's self-cultivation hundreds of times, Mr. Merchant, please rest assured, I am at the level of an actor." ”

Originally, Pelelot wanted to complain and say, in this case, why don't you rent a guide transport vehicle when you are in Kalmatt City, forge the logo of the Chamber of Commerce, and pretend to be a businessman to come again? You have to put on a mustache and pretend to be a freedom traveler!

If you're so good at acting, why do you have to drag yourself into the water, lend you the guide transporter, and you can drive to the village in front of you that may have something to do with KALASI's Killer Alliance. In this way, you will die in an accident, and you will not be able to return the guide car, and you will have an excuse to be robbed by this great detective. But no one would believe that, right? After all, the outside world doesn't know that this great detective Simon Riley is the Awakened...... I won't believe it.

On the importance of visibility...... The outside world may think that he murdered the great detective and plundered the 10 million Jewel Coins of Norlando ancient gold from him.

"! Originally...... It's a conspiracy! The more Pelelot thought about it, the more he felt that he had fallen for it, if he had taken this Nolando gold and left, and the great detective had any accident, there would be no way to make a move on this Nolando gold, it was impossible to say where he got it, right? There must be a transaction document approved by the Chamber of Commerce, otherwise this gold coin may become his own motive for killing, and the gold coin cannot be recognized at all, so it is not worth 10 million Star Coins, and the stupidest way is to remelt this gold coin beyond recognition, then this value will only become seven or eight thousand Star Coins.

One is 10 million, and the other is 7 or 8,000......

And looking at Simon Riley's hypocritical smile, this guy ...... He's a black-bellied detective!

"Looks like I don't have a choice?" Pelelot gritted his teeth and said.

"Don't worry, in fact, I said hello to President Ryan this time, and he said that he would take the time to come over today, so you can rest assured, if something happens to the two of us, he will avenge us." Simon Riley said with a smile.

"Ryan? President of the Hunter Chapter of Kalmat City? I've heard that he's a very powerful S-Class Awakener. ”

"Mr. Merchant is really well-informed, so there is nothing to worry about, I guess, he may have arrived now, and he is hiding nearby to protect us, and I have an appointment with him at noon."

"Then why don't we wait for him to arrive before going to that village?"

"That village hates hunters very much, so my agreement with him is to let him not show his face, just hide in the shadows......" Simon Riley turned his head, glanced in a certain direction, showed a subtle smile, and said, "Mr. Merchant, let's go, but before that, I want you to take a detour and go somewhere." ”

"Where?" Pelelot asked curiously, obviously that village was already close to them, and at the speed of the guide transport vehicle, they could drive there in the blink of an eye, except for the village in front of them, was there anything worth visiting?

"Actually, I just came from the orphanage over there." Simon Riley pointed in a certain direction and said, "I promised the dean there to help her find a child...... It was just a gesture, so I agreed. ”

"That has an orphanage?" Pelelot looked in the direction Simon Riley was pointing and guessed that it was probably where the strip in the middle of the three trails had reached.

"Okay, Mr. Merchant also said, time is money, I'll drive, I haven't driven this kind of car for a long time, once in order to solve a case of drunk hitting and killing people, we have been old drivers for a while, or the kind that has drunk."

Regarding this matter, Pellelot resolutely denied: "No! He felt more and more that this great detective was a little unreliable, and he couldn't afford to repair the car when it crashed. However, the material of the conductive transport vehicle, where is it so easy to be damaged, even if it collides with a D-class beast, the roof of the car is mostly concave, and the whole will be fine. He was afraid that the other party would accidentally press the emergency escape button and directly consume a bottle of RX-32 jet canisters worth hundreds of thousands.

The village was close at hand, and instead of driving straight past, they drove to the edge of the stretch that separates the forest to the west, and they soon saw that there was someone.

“lucky！” Simon Riley, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said, "The little girl with dark green hair, the little boy with black hair, I didn't expect the detective's intuition to be so effective, and I found it directly." ”

"The brunette boy?" Merchant Pelelot cared more about the dark-haired boy than the girl, "Solomon's? No way? ”

"As a businessman, you even know about this kind of thing."

At this time, Pelelot slammed on the brakes fiercely, with a look of consternation, "Mr. Detective......"

"We've all agreed not to call me Mr. Detective, you have to call me Mr. Simon, you can't call me by my full name, now I'm Simon, a traveling merchant...... If you have to call me by my full name, call me the old pseudonym, Mr. Simon Lally. Simon Riley said indifferently.

"Mr. Simon, the House of Solomon...... That's a terrifying existence than the Awakened, right? It is rumored that they were one of the eight great gods in the past, and as long as they stomped their feet, they could collapse and crack the ground. Their symbol is that the whole clan has black hair. ”

"Mr. Merchant is really timid, he said it was a rumor, do you see a black-haired person so scared? Although it is few, it is not that there is no black hair on the star. Simon Riley replied disapprovingly.

"yes, brunette...... There is only one in 10,000 stars, and there may only be one in a million people. ”

"So, you'd better treat him as one of those million."

"If the other party is really Solomon's family, wouldn't it be dangerous for us to go over?"

Pelelot's worries are not unreasonable, when he was in the tavern before, he heard rumors of a 'Dark Lord', that 'Dark Lord' was wrapped in a bandage covering half of his body, and one of his eyes would emit a terrifying red light, he was a big devil who killed people without blinking, and his strength was extremely powerful, it was said that he was hundreds of times stronger than the vast majority of awakened people, and he could completely destroy a city in an instant with just one person, including the people who lived in the city, and not a single one was spared. Even the Four Heavenly Kings of the Stars could not completely destroy an entire city in an instant.

It is rumored that the 'Dark Lord' died, and was shot to death by the troops of the Security Bureau who arrived at the time. A monster that destroyed a city was killed by the opto-mechanical guns of the Security Bureau. Not many people will believe it, but they can only deceive those who are simple-minded and simple-minded, and believe whatever others say.

The most suspicious thing is that the photos taken out by the Security Bureau are even more unconvincing, and the body of the Dark Lord has become a skeleton like that...... It seems to have been dead for decades.

A corpse that had been dead for decades became a scapegoat......

So there are quite a few people who don't believe the nonsense of the Security Bureau at all, thinking that this Dark Lord is not really dead.

And he was called the Dark Lord because of his black hair.

Some even speculated that the man belonged to the family of Solomon.

That makes sense......

The corpse that turned into a skeleton may be the rumored ability of the Solomonic clan to summon the power of the demon god.

In short, whether the dark-haired boy was from the Solomonic family or not, Pellelot didn't want to have anything to do with him.

What if you really kill people like the Dark Lord without blinking?

Pellelot's left hand unconsciously pressed on a red button in front of him, which was the button for the emergency escape of the guide transporter.

As soon as you press it, the nose and body of the car will separate, and the front of the car will fly directly into the air, fleeing in a certain direction at the speed of sound, and will not stop until the RX-32 runs out of jet fuel.

This is the life-saving means of the guide transport vehicle.

Of course, when it is not necessary, Pelelot will not press it, and if he presses it, hundreds of thousands of Star Glory Coins will be gone.

"Then I'll go down and talk to them, and Mr. Merchant will stay here." Simon Riley said.

"You mean, the director of the orphanage called you to find them? So they are children from an orphanage? The children in the orphanage should be ordinary people, right? ”

Simon Riley couldn't help but laugh at the questions raised by Pellelot, "Mr. Merchant is really bold...... The other party is just a child, and you are also an awakened person, and you are afraid of a child. ”

"If it's really from the Solomon clan, even if it's a child, they can kill us in seconds, haven't you heard of the legend about the Eight Great Divine Clans?" Pelelot cautiously peered in the direction of the little black-haired boy through the 360-degree video screen in front of him, but fortunately the other party did not notice it, and was talking to the little girl.

"As a detective, I only believe what I see with my own eyes, and of course I have heard of the earth-shattering deeds that existed thousands of years ago, but have the people who said them seen it with their own eyes? There must not be, so they also heard about it from others, and then the more and more outrageous, more and more exaggerated, far from the truth. There was a mysterious glint in Simon Riley's eyes.

"I remember a book called XX Moss, where the XX detective said that what the eye sees is not the truth."

"I didn't expect Mr. Merchant to see the detective I created when I had nothing to do."

Pellelot hesitated for half a second as if he was recalling something, and said, "Don't fool people, the author's name is XX· XX·XX。 ”

"XX.XX.XX is a pen name when I wrote detectives." Simon Riley's handsome face suddenly became serious, and he said in a very serious tone: "Sometimes, what the eyes see is not necessarily the truth. What you see with your eyes and what you think in your heart may only be your own subjective consciousness, so everything you think is not necessarily true, for each of us, we need to see the world with our hearts, including everyone around us. For our hearts do not deceive us. So when I'm investigating a case, I'm trying to feel everything with my heart, listening to the voice of my heart, and when I have enough fragments, connecting them together, feeling the truth of the facts with my heart, understanding all of this, all things, often unexpectedly very well understood...... That's why there are so many interesting things in the world. If something is very clear from the beginning, it's a very sad thing and it becomes no fun, at least for me personally, from not understanding not understanding to understanding and understanding, and I enjoy the process. ”
