Brutus didn't deliberately keep his voice down, but kept his usual pace and volume, as if he was talking about whether it would rain tomorrow, which was normal in the cozy afternoon tea atmosphere of Barrow's shop, without attracting the attention of the others around him.But the content of the discourse that hides the keywords, Horden and others can understand.If there was no human trade in the Iwabyss Black Market, then the waiters should not be "goods", but Holden's eyebrows frowned slightly: in this case, how should Samuel's situation be explained?
If the waiter himself is not a commodity, but a collateral injury caused by the destruction of the secret after discovering it, then why is Samuel living unharmed?
But if the waiter is the goods, but not traded on the black market at the auction house, does that mean that the banquet itself is an auction occasion?
However, how should Holden's own situation be explained in the latter case?
He appeared in the private residence of Viscount Philo and was lying on a symbol, and the house was still on fire?
This series of operations does not seem to be directly related to the banquet – at most indirectly.Brutus' investigation clarifies part of the truth, but leaves more question marks."
Hoden?"
Robben was always paying attention to Holden's expression, and he hoped to get an explanation from Holden, who was always aware of important information.Horden shook his head gently at Robben, there are still too many possibilities now, there is no need to analyze, and keeping the possibilities open is the best choice; Then, Holden cast his gaze at Brutus again, motioning for Brutus to continue."
And the other thing, as you might expect, is that there are fixed deals every month.Although auctions are always going on, and people who buy are always present, this is hard currency, especially for the silent; But among them, Nanfang Aosun Company does auction a batch of utensils every month. ”Brutus's words confirmed Howlen's suspicion that the professional killer had a close relationship with the Southern Orson Company, and that psionic devices in the forbidden realm were only one of the connections."
I've investigated, and every month they buy five psionic appliances from Antu Auctions' private auction house, and this has been going on for at least six months, which also means that they have at least thirty stocks, which is already the standard for hoarding."
The rest of the words didn't continue, but Brutus's meaning couldn't be clearer: what conspiracy should be brewing in the Southern Orson Company, otherwise, why would they hoard psionic devices in the forbidden spirit realm?
Especially when professional killers have powerful abilities, what are the psionic devices in the forbidden realm guarding against?
But why did Southern Orson do this?
What are you up to?
How did these conspiracies come into being with the dinner?
Hodden didn't speak immediately, but chewed on the information in Brutus' words, and then caught a clue in a flash of inspiration, "Antu?
”Brutus bowed his head slightly, interpreting the confusion in Holden's eyes, but his understanding was a little skewed, "I know, there have always been rumors that the Antu auction is the property of Count Gustav, but there is no evidence to prove it, and Ray can also prove that it is just gossip." ”Brutus thinks that Hodden suspects that Count Gustav is behind the scenes, because Count Gustav has appeared in the Third Precinct Security Team and now in the rumors of the Antu auction, and he has to explain the widely circulated rumor.Thunder Peters also nodded in affirmation, "The truth we know is that Count Gustav is not in business at all, and is always on the verge of bankruptcy, if it weren't for the king's secret support for him, his family would have been wiped out long ago."
Antu auctions are not his property. ”In other words, Brutus and Ray Peters were able to confirm that Count Gustav's appearance in the security team of the Third Jurisdiction was just a coincidence, and when you think of Count Gustav's act of being frightened to the point of being greedy for life and afraid of death that day, it was completely the image of the second ancestor who ate and drank and had fun, which confirmed that Holden's "worry" was unnecessary.But the problem is that Holden's confusion is not meant by this, but by the fact that he had been in contact with Antu Auctions — they had visited Antu Auctions when they were investigating Oliver's case, because Oliver's adoptive mother's next-door neighbor was the first suspect: Lyon McKay.Lyon has always been secretly spying on Oliver's adoptive mother, and there is a motive for the crime, but in the end, it turns out that he is just a guy with a colored heart and no fear.Of course, if it is just such a small connection, it is an accidental coincidence at best.Iwabuchi said that it is not big, and it is also said that it is not small, and coincidental things are bound to exist.However, Hodden remembered another thing, a detail to be precise, a detail that could be overlooked if he didn't pay attention to it, and his intuition always felt that things were not so simple, and "coincidences" were not as easy to appear as they imagined.However, Hoden is only in the speculation stage now, and more evidence or clues are needed to support it from speculation to confirmation."
I felt like I needed to visit an old friend."
The corners of Howlen's mouth rose slightly, "There are some things that we still need to clarify before we can be sure." ”......
"Do you want to leave work now?"
Are all the minutes of those meetings organized?
I know I'm always there to help if needed. ”Leon Mackay reached out with a kind face, maintaining his usual posture in the auction, but in fact, his eyes fell on the upper half of the secretary in front of him, and he was carefully measuring and measuring with his eyes: what size should this be?
What exactly is this supposed to feel?
Don't know what the color is?
And the smell?"
Guided" with two hearts, and finally reluctantly watched the secretary turn around and leave the office, but not long after, the door of the office was knocked again, and Leon thought it was the secretary who went and returned, and said in a cheerful and eager voice, "Come in, what, have you forgotten something?"
”But before he could finish speaking, Ion's expression stiffened slightly, and it was not the new secretary who appeared in front of him.The visitor gave a shallow smile, "Hey, good afternoon, Mr.
Mackay, how is it, remember me?"
”"......"
Ion's face immediately darkened, of course he remembered, how could he not remember, he immediately stood up quickly, looked at the four people who walked into the office, quickly closed the office door, and said in a low voice, "Aren't we already unrelated?"
Why are you still here?
”The last thing he wants is for his "fame" to be ruined, and then he will lose everything he has now.This damn guy!
