Facing Akai's questioning, Xu Nan didn't say a word, and directly took out the brown paper bag full of secret information.

"If you don't believe me, you can test it with detection magic, there should be Thomas's spell pattern on it."

He added.

Although there were only a few words, Xu Nan had already seen that this Akai was indeed as bad as the outside world rumored.

If you want to achieve your goals, you have to get straight to the point and make him believe in himself.

Sure enough, seeing this "evidence", Akai frowned, and believed at least seventy percent.

He looked at Xu Nan fixedly, and suddenly wiped the residue from the corners of his mouth with a napkin:

"Let's go downstairs to the courtyard and talk."

"Say what you know."

After that, he got up and left strongly, ignoring the fact that Xu Nan, a guest, didn't even pick up a bite of bread.

Fortunately, Xu Nan didn't come to breakfast, as long as he could get things done, he didn't care if he lowered his posture.

The only thing that made Xu Nan a little puzzled was that didn't everything they talk about in the study or conference room?

What is this Akai's unique preference, who likes to chat in the yard?

Xu Nan swept the face of the housekeeper next to him with some confusion, and the latter had a warm smile, which was really confusing.

Xu Nan hurried to catch up, and when he arrived in the courtyard, Akai was much more polite than before, and took the initiative to bring Xu Nan an easy chair.

He himself sat on the stone chair next to him, and Xu Nan noticed that there was a small swing on his left and right hands.

"I have ample evidence that Mr. Thomas is anomalous."

Xu Nan groaned:

"Let's start with that night's chance encounter, as you know, Mr. Thomas is in charge of the capture of the infamous [Sneak Attacker in the Back of the Head]......"

Xu Nan first recounted his unexpected encounter that night, of course, he skipped the embarrassing story about stray cats, and just said that he and his friends went to the second roundabout for sightseeing - as for what light to watch in the middle of the night, it was all up to Akai to make up for it himself.

In fact, at the beginning, Xu Nan didn't realize that there was something strange about the situation where he bumped into Thomas that night.

It wasn't until he observed some details at the law enforcement station that he decided to give it a try.

And this temptation is naturally to try to bribe with gifts.

With the conditions of the law enforcement team, it is naturally impossible to bribe with ordinary gold nuggets, and Xu Nan uses a very high-grade [Adamantine Gold]!

This magic metal, in terms of the priority of many alchemy items, is still above [Mithril]!

Normal people see that nature is difficult to control, and people who believe in law enforcement teams are no exception.

Thomas accepted the Adamantite without any surprise, and gave Xu Nan some help very enthusiastically.

There doesn't seem wrong with that.

But from the moment Thomas accepted the bribe, Xu Nan deeply doubted Thomas's identity.

Because he learned a very secret iron law from Emma and Aoife - Stephen Sand's law enforcement team members cannot be bought!

It's not that Stephen Sand has a detached confidence in the quality of the members of the law enforcement team, but that Stephen and Sand have some kind of obligatory binding contract attached to some important positions.

This kind of contract can prevent them from being corrupt and defecting to the enemy to an absolute extent.

It can be said that Paradise Lost has many spies and two-faced people in Stephen Sand, but in the really key positions, even with Paradise Lost's infiltration ability, it cannot be successfully bought.

The Enforcement Corps is a stark example of this.

In this regard, Xu Nan once asked Aofei suspiciously, when their negotiation team went to Stephensand to negotiate before, there were many big people who seemed to have been bought by Paradise Lost, including some people in the trial seat - Aophee's answer was very chicken thief: Being able to be bought means that their position is not important.

In other words, Stephen Sand has a unique operating system, and many superficial things are easy to be misunderstood as important positions; But what really supports this floating city is another set of internal systems that are free from the surface system.

In this system, the law enforcement team is the outermost firewall.

It is impossible for members of the law enforcement team to be bought!

This is a very hidden common sense, if it weren't for Xu Nan's previous involvement in the position of a councilor, he would not have been able to obtain such important information.

Therefore, since Thomas was bought by Xu Nan, it proves that he has a problem!

……

Of course, there are many more doubts about Thomas, and the above is only the first point.

The second point is that the day after Xu Nan completed the bribe, Thomas came to visit him with a roar, and he also carried a well-prepared file bag, and handed over to Xu Nan a perfect summary of the causes and consequences of the sneak attacker case in the back of the head.

This action actually somewhat exposed his mentality, and he seemed to be a little too anxious.

This kind of well-prepared information was not temporarily arranged at first glance, and Xu Nan was extremely suspicious that he had prepared it in advance.

In other words, Thomas may have already targeted Xu Nan, and the chance encounter in Wisteria Park that night was planned by Mr. Thomas! There may be many purposes, Xu Nan has already made a guess, but the specific situation still needs to be judged in combination with more information.

The third point is that when Thomas informed Xu Nan that there was a copycat in the case of the sneak attacker in the back of the head, he only warned Xu Nan to pay attention to safety when going out, and it was best not to go out at night - but did not think about it at all, the imitator may not only be targeting Ron Warlock, but more likely to provoke the conflict between Paradise Lost and Stephen Sand.

Taking it a step further, what is the purpose of this move? The greatest possibility is to cover up the real murderer's criminal motives!

This is something that even Xu Nan thinks is obvious, this veteran and experienced member of the law enforcement team can't see it, this is obviously impossible!

Or maybe that's what Thomas wanted to see, so he didn't say it.

Obviously, he underestimated the IQ of the warlock of Paradise Lost, although the basic attributes are not good, but Xu Nan is also a man with [True Insight]!

……

Fourth, Thomas has no partner. It is known that the members of the Stephen Sand Law Enforcement Team are all in teams of two and never act alone, which is some kind of safeguard since ancient times.

But Thomas is a loner and suspicious.

Xu Nan asked Emma to investigate yesterday, which is the information from Thomas's file. The results show that Thomas actually has a partner, but this partner happened to have a huge mistake during meditation some time ago, and he is still recovering.

During that time, it was exactly the time when the sneak attackers in the back of the head began to appear.

The above doubts may not be enough to prove that Thomas has a serious problem, but when combined, it is a different concept.

Xu Nan suspects that Thomas has changed to another person!

This kind of speculation is actually a bit too bold, after all, this is something that even Paradise Lost can't do, but Xu Nan feels that there is no other situation to explain the strange behavior of this law enforcement team member other than this speculation.

These four points are his arguments to persuade Akai.

In fact, there are other points, he didn't say: for example, in the Psychic Vision, Xu Nan noticed that Thomas's emotions have always been unusually stable, unlike ordinary people who have continuous, fluctuating emotions, his emotional stability is too much - and the other one he noticed has such an abnormality is Miranda, the proprietress of the Lettuce Hotel; For another example, according to Xu Nan's secret observation, Miranda and Thomas obviously knew each other, but that day in front of him, the two pretended to be meeting for the first time, and the acting was too obvious, they were simply treating Xu Nan as a fool!

Today he is willing to endure Akai's stinky temper, patiently stating his opinions, not so much to help Xie Yutong with the task, but to think of a bad breath!

What does it mean that this guy is acting in front of himself so obviously?

Do you think Lao Tzu's IQ is very low?

Xu Nan was a little resentful in his heart.

Of course, from another point of view, Xu Nan always felt that he had been provoked into some major incident again, and it was the most appropriate thing to say hello in advance before the incident broke out.

After all, his current identity is different.

……

"I guess I understand."

Akai's expression changed from serious at the beginning to a little lighter.

"At first I suspected that you were slandering my colleagues, but the things you described were very convincing and reminded me of something...... Well, something a long time ago. ”

"I'll go for it. Thank you...... Uh, report? ”

Xu Nan smiled:

"That's what I'm supposed to do."

Akai looked at Xu Nan and softened his tone: "Is there anything I can do?" ”

"You came all the way to me, surely not just to report Thomas, right?"

Xu Nan rolled his eyes and said softly:

"Reporting Thomas is, of course, the main thing."

"Because I suspect that he intends to stir up conflict between Paradise Lost and Stephensand before the aurora celebration."

"As the head of the negotiating delegation that signed the white paper on behalf of Paradise Lost, I certainly can't allow this to happen."

Akai was unmoved, and even played with the small swing a little boredly.

"Of course, I do have other requests, and I hope Your Excellency will satisfy my curiosity a little."

He changed his words: "I want to know the whereabouts of Lady Helena as soon as possible." ”

Akai's expression changed suddenly, like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail.

However, his ability to adjust is good, and he quickly regained his cold expression.

"You Paradise Lost are also interested in the so-called alchemy of the gods?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

Xu Nan was a little surprised.

In his opinion, Akai's reaction was also too great. I just want to know the facts of Helena's case, and I don't even need to meddle in the case itself, as long as I know Helena's whereabouts, I can complete Xie Yutong's third task, and as a result, the change in his face just now is comparable to Sichuan opera......

"It seems that Akai is not so simple, he has returned to the position of vice captain, and the first case is to track down Helena's whereabouts...... Is there a hidden secret? ”

Xu Nan speculated in his heart.

However, he pretended not to see it on the surface, and just smiled and explained:

"It has nothing to do with Paradise Lost, it's just that I simply have some personal interests, you know, I'm also an alchemist."

Although there is only a single-digit alchemist rank.

Xu Nan silently made up the above sentence in his heart.

Akai was silent for a long time before he said in a muffled voice:

"Yes."

Immediately afterward, there was a long silence, and he seemed to be a little distracted, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, he looked at Xu Nan as if he had come back to his senses, his eyes were full of confusion, to the effect that "What are you still doing here after everything is over?" ”。

Xu Nan is also in pain, chatting with Akai is too unpleasant, if he hadn't asked him, he would have slipped away a long time ago!

At the moment, he could only say patiently:

"As for Thomas, I hope that after Your Excellency has verified my evidence, you will not rush to arrest him."

Akai reacted quickly:

"Do you have any other ideas?"

Xu Nan nodded: "If it's really as I guessed, Thomas is trying to be against Paradise Lost, I want to know if there is someone behind him manipulating all this." ”

Akai nodded: "This is very reasonable. ”

Xu Nan then said: "Since he came to me in such a hurry, it means that the things he planned are very urgent in terms of time." ”

"I think he'll contact me again tomorrow at the latest."

"After all, although the aurora celebration has been postponed for about a week, it is only in these days. If he wants to do something, he must be ready to send it. ”

"I know that the law enforcement team is very short of manpower, so it is not a good option to startle the snake, and I am willing to cooperate with Your Excellency to catch the possible black hand behind Thomas."

"At the same time, I'm actually curious about what Thomas's plan is."

Akai rubbed his temples, probably considering the feasibility of Xu Nan's words.

At the end, he sighed softly:

"You refreshed my perception of Paradise Lost, I didn't expect there to be a mind like you among the warlocks."

Xu Nan was angry and funny in his heart.

The arrogance of the Stephen Sands is indeed written in the bones.

"I'll prioritize this matter when I'm done."

"We can use [Express] to get in touch."

Akai said:

"In any case, please protect yourself."

Xu Nan nodded.

……

Express is Stephen Sand's unique contact system.

In this wondrous floating city, wizards have captured and cultivated a group of imps that cannot be caught with the naked eye, but can appear within the range of major nodes with the spell circles built by wizards.

The imps move fast, and the speed of the most fierce fast message imps is close to the speed of sound, so it can be said that it is the best choice for transmitting information.

The only downside is that the fees are expensive.

It is foreseeable that Akai can afford to use Kuaixin Xu Nan, he himself is a sojourner in Stephen Sand, so naturally there is no Kuaixin imp, but Akai has, as long as Akai agrees and masters the corresponding spell, Xu Nan can also call Kuaixin imp anytime and anywhere in Stephen Sand, and pass important news to Akai as soon as possible.

After leaving Akai's home, Xu Nan was in no hurry to work.

He took Xie Yutong to some famous attractions in Stephen Sand for a whole day, and deliberately stepped on the midnight point before returning to the Lettuce Hotel.

As a result, as soon as he entered the door, a man in a trench coat stood up in a dimly lit corner.

"Mr. Xu Nan!"

"I have something very important to discuss with you!"

Xu Nan's face deliberately showed a hint of surprise.

It's Thomas.
