Chapter 282: A Big Blow
Although in the deserted town of Cermos, the appearance of two drunks on the big night seems very abrupt, and the credibility is really not high, but in a hurry, Leach can't think of a better way to disguise, so he can only perform hard.
It was disgusting to untie another man of the same age and not the slightest blood relationship, especially when Leach reached for Howard's underwear and got goosebumps all over his body.
Probably impressed by Leach's desperate acting skills, the tall and thin man in front of him seemed to let down his guard after watching from a distance for a while, shook his head and turned around and continued to walk forward.
As soon as Leach breathed a sigh of relief, the tall and thin man turned around again, causing Leach's hands to tremble.
Fortunately, Leach has always maintained the posture of giving Howard ***, but he didn't let the tall and thin man see the flaws, but what people really can't stand is that because of that tremor just now, his hand inadvertently touched a protruding part of Howard's lower body, and he was so disgusted that he almost vomited.
Leach thought that he had succeeded in fooling around, but he didn't think that the tall thin man who hadn't tried anything was so greasy that he suddenly turned around and ran wildly, but after a moment of effort, he disappeared without a trace.
This made Leach, who had made a great sacrifice, a little crying, and wanted to find a place to wash his hands quickly, but remembering what Michael had taught him, he still forced himself to stripped Howard of his nausea, and then stood up tremblingly, and staggered into a small alley nearby.
Unbeknownst to Leach, in the shadows of the corner not far ahead, there was a pair of eyes that took in all of what he had done, and it was not until Leach disappeared from sight that the suspicion and vigilance in those eyes completely dissipated.
He didn't know that he had successfully deceived the other party, and at this time he was scrubbing his right hand with the leaves he had picked from the side with all his might, and it seemed that he couldn't pick off a layer of skin.
Half an hour later, Leach's right hand was rubbed so hot that he thought that even if the other party had left to observe in the dark, he walked out of the small alley, put on Howard's clothes indiscriminately, and then carried him back to the hotel.
Howard, who woke up, looked lost and dejected, and didn't listen to a word of Tali's complaints and cynicism, so angry that Tali picked up a chair and tried to stone him.
However, although Leach failed to grasp the true identity of the tall and thin man and his residence because of Howard, the place where the two were discovered by the tall and thin man at that time was not far from the south gate of the town, and looking at the direction of his departure and final escape, it didn't look like he was deliberately going around in circles, which made everyone think that the information they had obtained from the beggar before seemed to be really not mistaken.
Then the question arises, since the overall direction of the previous search was not wrong, why did all the residents near the south gate be searched and still could not find what Leach had lost?
"There's a secret room or a secret passage!" was the only plausible explanation Leach could think of.
However, if it were just a group of thieves, it seemed unlikely that they would have built a secret room or dug a secret passage, because the cost was too high to outweigh the cost, and they didn't seem to have enough people to do it.
Then, Leach boldly speculated whether Qinguo could be the inner response of the fake rebels here in the town of Kermos, and only in this way could explain why the town's garrison had not been able to catch the inner ghost so far.
There is no way, even the guard commander has repeatedly defended Qin Guo, and if someone thinks that she has a problem, then it is called a ghost.
The more Leach and the others thought about it, the more likely they felt that Qin Guo was a "rebel", but Howard on the side rarely jumped out to refute loudly at the first time to defend his sweetheart.
Of course, Howard couldn't have turned a corner all at once, standing on Leach's side and waving his flag, he just stared at his feet in a daze, and kept repeating words like "impossible, it can't be Qinguo" in his mouth.
Seeing that Howard, who was still alive and well a few days ago, became so depressed, even Tali couldn't bear to continue to stimulate him.
After dawn, Leach returned Howard to the barracks.
After returning to the hotel, Leach fell asleep, since he was 100% sure that there was something wrong with Qinguo, and it was very likely that he was an internal ghost, then he had to rest well and prepare for the day and night.
As night fell, Leach set off again.
Because he wasn't sure if he had revealed his whereabouts, Leach didn't follow Qin Guo all the way home from the restaurant as usual tonight, but came to Qin Guo's house early, wanting to see if there was anything different from usual.
To Leach's relief, there was no sudden appearance of an unidentified group of people guarding the place, nor the slightest sign of moving, which made him very glad that he had insisted on playing the play from beginning to end last night, as Michael's had taught, even though it was very likely that he had already been exposed.
Since the other party is not suspicious, then the next time is to test his patience, and now what Leach has to do is wait for the tall and thin man to come to Qinguo again.
For four days, Howard did not appear in front of the Leach Five, and similarly, there was no progress in the surveillance of Qinguo, but on the evening of the fifth day, Howard, who had obviously lost a lot of weight, reappeared at the gate of the hotel.
"I'm going to find out for myself!" Before Leach could ask, Howard made it clear.
Originally, if he wanted to recover the stolen items, he had to rely on the strength of the garrison, and Leach originally planned to wait until he found the location of the other party's secret room or secret passage before bothering Howard, but since he sent it to the door himself, he naturally welcomed it with both hands.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, every time Howard decides to act with Leach, the surveillance of Qinguo always makes breakthroughs. When the two followed Qin Guo back to her house, they were surprised to find that there were already people waiting in the courtyard.
Unsurprisingly, it was the tall, thin man who still didn't know his true identity.
The tall and thin man seemed to be a special liaison officer, and he still had something to report this time, and after the report, he still didn't linger at all, turned around and left.
Leach and Howard hurriedly followed.
has already suffered a loss, and this time Leach deliberately pays attention to the situation on Howard's side, and once he finds something wrong, he will make up for the mistake as soon as possible.
But to Leach's surprise, not only did Howard not make the slightest noise this time, but even reminded Leach when he accidentally kicked a piece of rubble.
