old dream

Chapter 367 Another Person
What will happen next?Colin thought dazedly.

The stars and times are changing.

An unbalanced scale has tipped to one end over thousands of years, so it can only begin to return to the other end.

And the invisible and magnificent swing in the deep world is bound to cause more violent overturning in the human world.

"In any case, it's a good thing if there is a change, right? Because..."

As if seeing through Colin's worries for the past month, Nancy turned her head slightly and whispered to him:

"Because the sun has been hanging in the sky for too long, hasn't it?"

…………

The other two Black River members who were recuperating in the safe house recovered within a week.The injuries they suffered were not too serious in the first place, and their bodies were in good condition, so they could move freely soon.

Nancy is the only one who is still bedridden and unable to get up.

However, Nancy happened to be the core figure in the whole theater ceremony.Under the night of Danalo, in the eyes of countless pairs of pillows, her figure has always been the existence of a leading actress.Nancy was unable to act, and the whole plan could only be delayed, unable to move forward for the time being.

After confirming that someone was taking care of and protecting Nancy, Colin decided not to go to the safe house anymore.After all, he himself is also sensitive, and once someone sees him, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

So when he closed the door of the safe room for the last time, Colin realized in a daze that his time was suddenly stuck in a gap.Nancy was injured, and the 'commander' did not return from Baidu.The Ninth Bureau and the theater are busy searching all over the city, but the initiative never seems to be in their hands.

At the moment when the three parties of the Principality's Dark River Alliance were most nervous, there was nothing for him to do for a while.

In other words, I finally have the opportunity to do something I want to do.

Colin exhaled lightly, because he had been thinking about many personal matters in his heart, but he had no chance to deal with them for a long time.

It was about three weeks before Nancy basically recovered.

Colin first sent news of safety to Rui and Ellie respectively through the secret mailbox.A few days later, Ellie's share was quickly taken away, but there was no movement from Rui's side.Colin checked the stranded secret letter and found that it had already been opened.

He repeatedly looked at the subtle traces on the sealing paint, but he felt that it was indeed so.

Rui deliberately did not leave a response, but it looked like some kind of invitation to Colin.Coincidentally, because of what happened in Gallo Hall, Colin originally planned to find this strong man.

Although, it is not yet known where he will take shelter from the limelight.

But because of working together several times, Colin already has a good understanding of Ruy's behavior pattern.As long as this strong man is not deliberately avoiding, you can roughly guess where he will hide.

Colin spent the whole morning leisurely, looking for several residences arranged by the investigation department one by one, and some places he had never heard of before, but felt like Rui would choose.In the end, after a simple lunch, he was really found in an unremarkable private house.

"Squeak-"

Deep in the alley, the slightly rusted iron gate was difficult to push, but the owner didn't intend to open it either.Through the hinges, the huge Ruy seemed to have to bend down to see the visiting Colin through the crack of the door. His eyes seemed to say, "What are you doing here?"

In all fairness, the relationship between Colin and Rui is not very familiar at all, even farther than Ellie and Emil.Now the whole city is tense, there is nothing to do in the investigation department for the time being, and the members should not have unnecessary contacts in private, but it is really unreasonable for Colin to come to him at this time .

"Strange, didn't you ask me to come?"

Colin asked back as a matter of course, because now he was waiting for an explanation with his head full of question marks.Colin looked through the thin hinges, as if he was meeting this burly man with a shrunken body for the first time: the face of about 40 years old, xxxxxx, and the slightly thick and short hair tips in the shadows, were exactly like himself as in my memory—

is golden.

Neither Emil nor Ellie asked much about what they did this month.The atmosphere of the investigation department has always been very relaxed, but such a reaction is still unnatural.Their performance didn't seem to be indifferent, but more like they had been greeted by someone beforehand, and their doubts had been dispelled.

Ke Lin couldn't help thinking, could it be that someone in the investigation department was secretly covering for himself?

Therefore, he began to pay attention to this matter, and deliberately searched for the written materials of the investigation department during his disappearance.It turned out that even some unnatural traces of care appeared in the department's work logs and other texts... In these records, "Amo" never disappeared for no reason, but was assigned to carry out another mission left by the commander. The number and files of this matter are all available, but because the declassification deadline has not yet come, it is inconvenient to mention too much in the daily summary.The only thing that can be revealed to the inquirer is that it has something to do with the highest-level informant in the Principality's court, that is, the "magician".

Clever, reasonable, and a very sweet cover-up.

Anyone who reads it will not be suspicious of anything.

At the same time, Colin knew that Rui was in charge of the "magician" most of the time, especially after the commander left Danalo.He is the only one in the current investigation department who can use this extremely confidential matter to clean up someone's butt that was accidentally soiled in the Gallo Hall.

So Colin felt that he had to come and ask why, why?Why did Rui want to defend the suspected members so much without any explanation afterwards.Ke Lin kept having doubts in his heart, and at the same time felt that the answer was ready to come out.Or if I was smarter, I should have noticed it long ago.

Why was the letter of appointment of "Amo Gattuso" intercepted by Underworld before he entered the investigation department?After that, who revealed Amo's exact whereabouts?And how dare Nancy hide a crown in the enemy's intelligence department openly?If there is no backup, can she really sleep at night?

Now, it all makes sense.Ke Lin thought, because the first person Anhe placed in the pigeon dung investigation department was not himself at all.

"Actually, we met once, Rui, I don't want to go around in circles."

Colin did not continue to probe, but said bluntly:
"In the Gallo Hall of the Metropolitan Theater, the big man with the mask is you, right? You brought me back from the gate of hell?"

Facing Colin's confession, Rui did not respond immediately.He just stared at Colin, and remained tensely silent for a long time.It wasn't until Colin started to feel a little strange that he seemed to relax suddenly, stretched out his hand to unhinge, and pulled the iron door inward:

"It seems that my disguise is not enough." Rui said, "I don't know if I was recognized by others."

"After all, the features are too obvious, such a big man with short blond hair." Colin walked in, saying:
"It seems that I still owe you a thank you that day?"

"Maybe, Amo." Rui whispered, although his identity was discovered, but there was a touch of relief in his slightly old eyes:
"Or should I call you 'Colin'?"
