The atmosphere of the tavern has a hint of stagnation invisibly.

Huey and Raschel's movements pause at the same time, as if the cassette phenomenon of the film is playing, forming a fixed picture.

However, the time of the cassette was extremely short, only a second passed in a flash, and Xiu Yi's hand holding the document only paused slightly, and then his eyes were full of "surprise", he opened the detective card in his hand, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, and then smiled: "It turned out to be Officer Raschel, look at you, you just scared me." If you had said you were a Justice and Political Affairs agent, I wouldn't have been so nervous. ”

He returned the document to Raschel: "I'm sorry for wetting your clothes, but trust me to compensate you." ”

He behaved like a helpless lamb with a surprise on his face after suddenly appearing as a backer.

Raschel didn't see any unusual behavior from the other party, such as nervousness, panic, or a few casual words of hasty departure, which made him a little disappointed.

As for whether it was a coincidence that Huey had wet his clothes, or was it intentional, as was Huey Gler, Raschel's mind also raised a question.

Slowly taking his detective card, Raschel put it in his underwear pocket, and smiled at Xiuy: "It's okay, please believe that I don't mean to hide my identity, but you know that showing your identity in this kind of place where it is easy to get into trouble......" He made a helpless gesture: "It is easy to attract some malicious actions of others." I just wanted to protect you. ”

Huey quickly sat down beside Raschel and leaned into his ear: "You're right. Either way, it's a lot more reassuring to be sitting next to an agent. Thank you very much for your concern. ”

He patted his chest, "I swear I'll never do anything stupid like that again." I hope no one notices your credentials, I mean...... Except for me. ”

After thinking about it, he said, "Maybe I should treat you to something good." Huey said to Raschel. He beckoned to the bartender, "Do you have any jealousy here?"

"Yes sir, but the wine is expensive. ”

"I can afford it. Huey threw out ten Kinwitt on the bar: "Bring a bottle, I'm going to have a few drinks with this gentleman next to me." ”

"You can tell you come from a wealthy family. Raschel wasted no time in offering his compliment.

"The Dardanelles. Huey replied, "Heather Dardanelle, my name." ”

"Jason Raschel, you already know. Nice to meet you. Raschel held out his hand.

The hands of the two men were clasped together.

"With all due respect, judging by the way you dress and talk, you must be from some family, but strangely enough, why have I never heard the name House Dardanelle?" asked Huey.

Xiu Yi chuckled lightly: "There are as many families in the empire as stars in the sky, are you sure you know the existence of each family?, and I am not from a noble family, I am from a business family, and we have nothing but a little money." ”

"Oh, can you tell me about your family?"

"Professional habits? Do you like to inquire about other people's family history?"

Raschel shrugged: "That's right, it's just a habit. You know, the first time I saw you, you gave me a feeling. ”

"What does it feel?"

"A ...... Very special feeling. You're a lot like an old friend of mine. Raschel laughed.

"It's a great honor. Don't you sound like a human accent?"

"No, I'm not, but Mr. Dardanelle, you don't have a human accent. ”

"Not really. ”

"That's interesting, can I ask where you're from?"

Xiu Yi thought for a moment and replied, "At sea." ”

Raschel's eyes lit up: "Wow, sea. That old friend of mine is also from the sea. May I ask what the Dardanelles do?"

Huey shrugged his shoulders and told the lies he had prepared about the Dardanelles. Raschel listened, asking questions from time to time. The way he asks questions is clever, always popping up every now and then, often unrelated to what Huey is narrating, but faintly connected to it. What particularly caught Huey's attention was that Raschel clearly knew how to ask questions. He was not interested in what Huey had elaborated, on the contrary, he was more concerned with the details.

For example, when Huey talked about his father's death, Raschel asked him where and when it happened, what the octopus looked like, did it make a sound when it ate people, how long did it take to digest a person, why did his uncle come back alive, and so on.

Some of these questions appear to be unrelated, but they are secretly interrelated, and if Xiu Yi does not answer them well, it is likely to lead to a self-contradiction in lies, thus revealing his identity.

Raschel strung all his problems together into a minefield.

If it weren't for the fact that Hording and others had taught him how to weave lies, and that Eagle Ashlin and Brian Buckler had taught him how to deal with the interrogation of attorney and political agents, perhaps a few simple questions that didn't matter would have been enough to defeat Huey.

"You know it was so chaotic, as a kid, I was actually terrified. And Mr. Raschel, I must say that your question is not gentlemanly enough, and that you are forcing me to recall the painful past. ”

"Oh, I'm sorry. Raschel hurriedly said, "Look at me, it's always like this. I don't stop asking questions about some curious things, and I never care about other people's feelings. I hope that doesn't hurt your heart. ”

"Well, in fact, after all this time, the wound in my soul has gradually healed. ”

"So, the Dardanelles came to Royo to travel from the sea, to avoid the treacherous sea life?"

"Exactly. Huey replied.

In fact, after revealing the identity of the other party, Xiu Yi had already scolded God's arrangement in his heart.

It's like a prey that has been chased for a long time, just as he is busy setting traps and setting up baits in his territory, he suddenly finds that he has inadvertently collided with his target. All the pre-planning does not work at once, and only improvisation can determine the final outcome.

If there was any chance in between, it was that Raschel was not sure that he was Huyglier, he had not seen himself before, and he had made a complete change in his image, even the ring that Christine recognized had been re-disguised, and a large ruby was embedded in it, which looked like a typical tyranny.

Huey believes that Raschel's skepticism and questioning of himself were initially just a professional instinct. But after he successfully tested that he had vindictive energy, and was reversed by himself to reveal his identity, everything began to change dramatically - the original excellent tentative behavior became the other party's reason for suspicion at this moment.

Raschel will undoubtedly increase his suspicion of himself, and he will move from instinctive temptation to conscious pursuit.

This can be a very bad consequence, and Xiui would rather not know who the other person is, and then leave.

Now this guy is continuous, and if he continues to be interrogated step by step, he will show his feet sooner or later.

When the opponent's offense is continuous, defense alone is no longer the problem. Huey is keenly aware of this.

"Why just talk about me? Mr. Raschel, in fact I am more interested in the work of the Legal and Political Department. The boring family business gives me a headache, it's not exciting, and if I had a choice, I'd rather be an agent like you. I just saw your ID that you are the commander of an operation, which means that you should be a very prominent person. ”

"It's just a matter of having some power in a particular case. ”

"Even that is already remarkable, and I'm sure you're going to be very good, and your experience solving the case is going to be exciting. ”

"It's really exciting, you know we're always dealing with vicious criminals, and a lot of times we're going to be born and die. ”

"Maybe you'd like to share your story with me?" Huey asked, "For example, why did you come to Royo City, are you after a criminal?"

"Oh, in search of an old friend, an old friend that the gods have been friends for a long time, but have never had a chance to meet. I've been looking for him all this time, but he always mysteriously refuses to show up. ”

"That's interesting, so how do you know he's in Royo?"

"Because he at least left me some messages reminding me to come here and look for him. ”

"A game of hide and seek?"

Raschel laughed, "That's right, this friend of mine seems to like playing games, so I'm here." ”

"I guess there's no one who can escape the Judiciary and Political Affairs Department's search. ”

"Of course, no one has ever been able to do that. ”

"It's amazing to say. Many times I can't imagine how the agents of the Department of Justice and Justice use to find out a cunning criminal when he is hiding in the middle of nowhere? I mean, the world is so big, how can you be sure where the other person is? You know young people are always interested in solving crimes, maybe you can teach me some?" Huey poured wine into Raschel's cup.

"Oh, thanks, that's complicated. Why don't we continue talking about the Dardanelles?"

"What's there to talk about in the family business? I think it's more exciting to catch criminals. ”

"Oh, it's just a little trick, it's really not worth boasting about. On the contrary, it is to do business, that is the embodiment of human wisdom. ”

"But I still want to hear it, I think catching criminals is exciting. Huey laughed.

"It seems that we envy each other. ”

"People always care about what they don't get. ”

Both of them laughed at the same time.

These two people are like doing tai chi, extending the problem to each other as much as possible.

In Raschel's eyes, any temptation that the other party might be Huy Glare is a very normal work need. The young man in front of him, from the first time he saw him, he felt that the other party was not simple. He was like a veiled beauty, and behind that veil was written "stories and secrets".

Especially after Huey wets his coat and reveals his true identity, Raschel feels that if this is not a coincidence, then the other party's identity is worth speculating.

It's like seeing a mysterious beauty, eager to lift the veil of the other person and find out what is behind it. It's just that the veil of this "beauty" doesn't look easy to take off - for Huey, shifting the focus of the problem to Raschel himself is the best way to avoid losing too many words, and at the same time to learn more about the other party's secrets.

This makes the contact between the two people comically dramatic, as they hide their innermost secrets from each other and then try to dig out each other's secrets. Raschel wants to know if the other party is Hue Glare, and Huey wants to know how much the other party suspects about him, whether Raschel is alone, and whether he should take the opportunity to kill the opponent to get rid of the trouble!

They are like opponents sitting at the negotiating table with *, talking and laughing on the surface, but behind the scenes, they have hidden murderous intentions.

They speak insincere words to each other, and they use every means to test each other, ask questions, and avoid questions......

Maybe in the next second, there will be a river of blood in the tavern.

The air in the tavern was hazy with a solemn gloom.

"I'm pretty much drunk, Mr. Raschel. Xiu Yi said, he put the wine glass down: "It's time to go back." ”

"Are you leaving so soon?"

"Yes. But......" Huey leaned into Raschel's ear, "I remember you promised to give me a ride." I mean, I'm worried that after I'm gone, someone will follow me and covet my money. But if I had an agent from the Legal Affairs Department with me, I would have been much safer. ”

"More than happy to escort you. Raschel said, picking up his soaked coat.

As he walked, his legs began to shake: "Oh, I've drunk a little too much, Master Dardanelle, can you help me?"

"No problem. Huey stepped forward and helped him.

Raschel looked like he was trying to grab Huey's shoulder, but his hand accidentally caught Huey's glasses.

Huey's head flickered back slightly, dodging the grab, "Take it easy, Mr. Raschel, you almost took off my glasses." ”

"Oh, I'm really drunk, I'm sorry, but maybe you can see better without glasses, I mean...... How many degrees is that?" Raschel replied vaguely, shaking his head desperately, looking a little dizzy.

"Not very high. Xiui replied coldly.

He helped Raschel out of the tavern, and they walked down the city's empty streets, talking casually with each other.

It looks like an old friend.

The streets of Royo City at night are so lonely and deep that you can hardly see passers-by walking.

Occasionally, a wild cat calls for spring, making a terrible cry in the dark night.

A drunken man walked along the road, singing loudly, and then fell into the gutter by the side of the road, and the cold wind blew through it, making people shudder.

Huey helped Raschel down the empty street.

"Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you, Master Dardanelle. It's good to be young, look at me, I'm almost fifty years old, I'm going to be old. Lo and behold, my head is white. ”

Raschel said, pointing to his head.

"It's just a little bit. ”

"Maybe I should dye one, what color do you think I'd dye better? I mean, if you have that kind of ...... Maybe you can give me a bottle of potions?"

"It's up to you, and I don't have that potion. ”

"That's a shame. Raschel muttered.

"Mr. Raschel, it seems that you are really drunk. I don't think you're fit to send me home, so I'd better go back by myself. ”

"Oh, no, no, don't go. Raschel took Huey's hand and said, "Tell me where you live, and I can send you back." Don't forget that I'm a detective and a criminal's nemesis. The bad guys run away in fear when they see me!"

Hue noticed that his grip on his hand was steady and strong, not in the slightest like a drunken man.

"Really?" Huey laughed, "Thank you, Mr. Raschel." I forgot to tell you that we are out of the danger zone. I mean, you see, there's no one behind us. There is no one trying to track me down for my money, and there is no one of yours behind to protect you. I thought that as the commander of a big operation, you should have someone to protect you. But now it seems that today you are a single event. ”

Raschel's grip on Huey's hand loosened slightly.

Xiu Yi noticed that his body shook slightly, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

Then he continued: "So lo and behold, Mr. Raschel. Now it's safe here. Since there are no bad people here, and there is no threat to our lives, we don't need to be together anymore, can we? ”

Raschel nodded, "You're right, lad. If there are bad people, then I will be out of luck. ”

His hand was completely loosened.

Huey turned away.

Raschel suddenly shouted from behind, "Can you know where you live?" ”

"Silent Island Grand Hotel, top floor. Huey replied.

"I'll go see you when I'm free, I mean...... It's not easy to meet someone in this world to talk to, right? It's a pleasure to talk to you. ”

Xiui turned his head to look at Raschel, the expression on his face was calm: "Yes Mr. Raschel, I am also happy to chat with you, you are a talkative and interesting person. I look forward to seeing you again. ”

Raschel nodded, and after thinking about it, he said, "Very well, maybe I'll bring my friends to see you." ”

"The Dardanelles are looking forward to welcoming you. Huey made an elegant gesture of invitation.

A carriage stopped beside Xiuyi, who jumped onto the carriage with agility and dexterity without the slightest hesitation.

He sat in the carriage and raised his hand to Raschel, and as the coachman's whip whipped, the wheels rolled and faded into the night.

Raschel stared into the darkness in the distance, and his eyes, which had been slightly cloudy from drunkenness, gradually brightened.
