Chapter 17: The Love Letter of a Mad Woman
The reason why Jiang Chen was able to see through Bastin's identity at once.
Not because of his familiarity with the Governor's Guard in the Tenth District, of course.
The main reason is that I have investigated in detail about "Tianmu Logistics" before.
After all, Jiang Chen was still being chased by Tianmu Logistics a year ago.
AS THE SO-CALLED KNOWING ONESELF AND KNOWING ONE'S OPPONENT, A HUNDRED BATTLES DO NOT DIE.
As a detective, he naturally needs to use intelligence as a powerful weapon.
Bastin, 65 years old, is a former member of the Governor's Guard of the 10th District.
When he was in service, he made one special merit and eight first-class merits.
There was once a glorious record of single-handedly infiltrating the rebel base and eliminating the rebel leader, which belongs to the rare elite.
It stands to reason that members of the imperial guard at this level will either enjoy good fortune after retiring, or they will enter the top level and become an official in politics.
But he joined "Tianmu Logistics" and became the housekeeper of the big boss.
Some people say that Basten is Yonghime's bodyguard, and as long as he is there, Yongji will not have any personal risk.
It is also said that Bastin's training for Yongji is not inferior to the Governor's direct guard, and it is enough to sweep the four directions.
But regardless of the rumors, one thing is certain.
This legendary old gentleman is definitely not as elegant and easy-going as he seems.
You know, this is a real strong man who doesn't know how much blood debt he has, and it's strange to be elegant and easy-going.
However, when Jiang Chen said "the Governor's direct guard", Basten frowned slightly.
Shaking his head, he said, "It's all in the past, and now my identity is just the butler of Lord Yonghime." ”
"Really? What is the specific Yongji looking for me? She suddenly changed her mind and didn't want to kill me? ”
Jiang Chen sat on his clean chair and spun around.
I found that Bastin even oiled the shaft of the chair, which caused it to turn very silky, and it couldn't stop when it turned.
Obviously, the moment Jiang Chen saw Bastin, he knew that this guy was not here to kill him.
The reason is also very simple, if this old butler came to kill people on the orders of Yongji.
It is impossible for him to clean the victim's room and talk to the victim.
A true professional will not make a special declaration before killing someone, but will do it without warning.
It's like when someone crushes an ant to death, it is impossible to talk nonsense to the ant.
However, looking at Jiang Chen's relaxed attitude, Basten chuckled and said:
"Mr. Jiang Chen, why are you so sure that I didn't come to kill you? Doing the opposite, letting the other party relax before making a move is also an excellent tactic. ”
The moment he said this, Basten suddenly became imposing, and a mountain of murderous aura surged directly towards Jiang Chen!
If a second ago, he still looked like an elegant old gentleman.
Then at this second, he feels like a fierce beast that chooses people and devours them!
Even though he was old, when Bastin got serious.
But I can still see the sea of swords and fires that I don't know how many swords, mountains and fires I went through back then.
I don't know how many people's heads have been taken off.
If it were an ordinary person, this old gentleman suddenly released a murderous aura, and he would definitely be scared on the spot.
But Jiang Chen didn't react to this, he sat calmly in place, and even picked up the little fairy ball on the side and looked at it.
"By the way, have you trimmed this cactus with scissors? It didn't seem to be so pleasing to the eye before, and the burrs were unevenly grown. ”
“......”
"By the way, you asked me why I'm sure you're not here to kill me, but I don't need to be sure about this at all."
“...... Why not? ”
"Because I only need to be sure of one other thing, and that is to be sure that you can't kill me at all right now."
Jiang Chen held the cactus ball that was newly placed on the desk in one hand and put the cactus in front of him.
Then he looked at Bastin through the small, thorny plant.
It is true that the old man is very strong, but so what?
No matter how strong Basten is, he is just a mortal.
It can't be compared to the female powerhouse who controlled the "Blue Water Poisonous Bee" to kill Jiang Chen in the amusement park.
Jiang Chen's goal is to find and kill the woman.
If he doesn't even have the confidence to solve Bastin.
And how do you fight against the one who can pierce a person's heart with a single move?
So, Jiang Chen sat on the chair and looked at the old man behind the desk with a relaxed gaze.
His gaze looked relaxed and leisurely, but in fact it was locked onto Basten like a falcon.
As long as this old butler has the slightest hint of something to do.
Jiang Chen would immediately turn the cactus into a frag grenade and throw it in the enemy's face, blasting it into a sieve.
At this distance, if it weren't for the prior knowledge that the cactus would explode.
No matter how fast Bastin's reaction is, he can't avoid it, and Jiang Chen is very confident in this.
However, as the two looked at each other for a few seconds in this tense atmosphere, Basten was the first to breathe a sigh of relief.
He stretched out his white-gloved palm and patted it, then bowed down and said:
"It is worthy of Mr. Jiang Chen, it seems that the information we collected earlier is wrong, and you are much more difficult to deal with than in the intelligence."
"It's true that the information you have over there was a year ago, right? Shibei three days should be impressive, this has been three hundred days, and it is time to change. ”
"Shibei should be impressed for three days...... Makes sense, interesting to say. ”
After nodding, Basten looked straight, respectfully took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to Jiang Chen.
Looking at the envelope in a lovely pink color, there is a lip print on it, and it seems to vaguely exude the fragrance of a girl.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile and said, "This letter ...... It can't be Yonghime's letter to me, right? ”
"That's true, Eihime-sama entrusts me to personally deliver this letter to you."
What age is it, and I still write letters, really, this big boss of Tianmu Logistics is so simple.
As a result, when the extremely girlish letter was written, Jiang Chen smiled secretly in his heart.
Because it felt like receiving a love letter from a schoolgirl, and he used to receive this kind of thing when he was in school.
However, after opening the letter, what popped up inside was a "love letter" written in red letters on a white background with a blood-like ruddy pen and ink.
The content of this "love letter" is very simple, just one line of numbers, 20:34
"20:34, what does that mean? Looks like time? ”
"Yes, Eihime-sama means that I really hope to meet you by 20:34."
"And what if you haven't seen it by then? What will happen? ”
"If you don't see it, it's likely that something will happen that will be unpleasant for both parties, and I sincerely recommend that you don't do it."
Does this mean that if I do not pass within the specified time, it will be regarded as a breakdown of the negotiation and the use of force will begin?
This woman...... It's really pleasantly straightforward, poof.
After being amused by this overly straightforward expression, Jiang Chen stood up from his chair and stretched.
I looked up at the clock hanging next to me, and the time was 6:30.
"Is there still two hours, there's still time, don't you mind if I cook instant noodles and eat them before leaving?"
In front of this legendary imperial guard, Jiang Chen patted his hungry stomach and asked with a smile.
However, when Basten heard this, he shook his head firmly and said in a serious tone:
"Eating instant noodles is too unnutritious, if Mr. Jiang Chen doesn't mind, I can prepare a dinner for you that matches your identity."
Yo ho? And such a good thing?
Looking at Bastin, who suddenly burned with the soul of cooking and his eyes lit up, Jiang Chen naturally nodded hurriedly and said yes.
