Almighty Alchemist

There was a trace of stasis in the atmosphere of the tavern.

The actions of Xiu Yi and Rasher paused at the same time, like a cassette phenomenon in the film playback, forming a fixed picture.

However, the time of the cassette was extremely short, just passing by in a second, Xiu Yi's hand holding the document was only paused for a moment, and then the light of "surprise" appeared in his eyes. I looked at it for a while and then laughed, "It turned out to be Police Raschel, look at you, you just surprised me. If you said you were an agent of the Legal Department, I wouldn't be so nervous. . "

He returned the documents to Raschel: "I'm sorry to have wet your clothes, but please believe that I will compensate you."

He behaved like a helpless lamb with a surprise look on his face after he suddenly found the backing.

Raschel didn't see any abnormal behavior from the other side, such as nervousness, confusion, or just a few words of rushing away, which made him a little disappointed.

Is it a coincidence that Xiu Yi wets his clothes? Still intentional? Like Shuigler, Raschel's heart also raised a hint of doubt at the same time.

After slowly receiving his agent ID, Raschel put it in his underwear pocket and smiled at Xiuyi: "It doesn't matter, please believe that I have no intention to hide my identity, but you know, here This kind of place where things go easily shows his identity ... "He made a helpless gesture:" It's easy to attract some malicious behavior from others. I just wanted to protect you. "

Xiu quickly sat down next to Raschel and put it in his ear: "You're right. But anyway, sitting next to an agent will make me feel relieved. Thank you very much Care. "

He patted his chest: "I swear I will never do anything stupid like I did just now. I hope no one notices your credentials, I mean ... except me."

After thinking about it, he said, "Maybe I should invite you to have a good drink," Xiuyi said to Raschel. He waved to the bartender: "Are you guys here?"

"Yes sir, but that wine is expensive."

"I can afford it." Xiu Yi threw ten Kimvits on the bar. "Take a bottle. I want to have a few drinks with the gentleman around me."

"I can see that you are from a wealthy family." Raschel offered his compliments without losing the opportunity.

"The Dardanelles," Xiu replied, "Cisedardanil, my name."

"Jason Raschel, you already know. Glad to meet you." Raschel reached out his hand.

Two people's hands were held together.

— "Excuse me, from the perspective of your clothes, you should be from a certain family, but strangely, why have I never heard of the name of the Dardanelle family?" Raschel asked Xiuyi .

Xiu smiled softly: "The family of the Empire is like the stars in the sky. Are you sure you know the existence of each family? And I am not from a noble family. I come from a business family. We have nothing except a little money. "

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

"Professional habits? Do you like to explore the family history of others?"

Raschel shrugged. "Yes, it's just a habit. You know? When I first saw you, you gave me a feeling."

"What does it feel like?"

"A ... very special feeling. You look a lot like an old friend of mine." Raschel said with a smile.

"Deeply honoured. Doesn't it sound like you are a local?"

"No, I'm not, but Mr. Dardaniel, your accent doesn't look like a local."

"It really isn't."

"That's really interesting. Can you ask where you are from?"

Xiu thought about it and answered, "At sea."

Raschel's eyes lit up: "Wow, at sea. My old friend is also from the sea. Can I ask what the Dardanelles do?"

Xiu shrugged and told the lie about the Dardanelles' family that had been prepared. Raschel asked questions from time to time while listening. The way he asks questions is very clever, always popping up from time to time, often irrelevant to what Xiu Yi is narrating, but there is a faint connection. In particular, Xiuyi noticed that Raschel clearly knew the questioning skills. He wasn't interested in what Xiu Yi explained. On the contrary, he paid more attention to details.

For example, when Xiuyi talked about his father's death, Raschel asked him, where did it happen and when? What does that octopus look like? Does it make a sound when it eats people? How long does it take to digest a person? Why his uncle can come back alive and so on.

Some of these questions seem to be unrelated, but they are secretly related to each other. Once Xiuyi's answer is not good, it will likely lead to contradictions in lies and expose identity.

Raschel connected all his problems into a minefield.

If it weren't for the fact that Hoddin and others had taught him how to weave lies, Iger Ashlin and Brian Buckler had taught him how to deal with the questioning of agents of the Legal Department. Can defeat Xiu Yi.

"You know the scene was too chaotic. As a child, I was scared in fact. And Mr. Raschel, I have to say that your problem is not gentleman enough. You are forcing me to recall my painful past. "

"Oh, I'm sorry." Raschel quickly said, "You look at me, it's always like this. Ask questions about curious things and never care about how others feel. I hope that won't let Your soul is hurt. "

"Okay, in fact, after so long, my wound has gradually healed."

"So, did the Dardanelles come to the city of Royo to develop from the sea to the land? To avoid that dangerous sea career?"

"Exactly," Xiu answered.

In fact, after discovering the identity of the other party, Xiu Yi had already scolded God for making arrangements.

Like a prey that has been chased for a long time, while he was busy setting traps and laying bait in his territory, he suddenly found that he accidentally collided with his target. All the prior arrangements are not effective at all, and only the contingency can determine the final result.

If there is any chance between this, it is that Raschel is not sure that he is Hugh Igle, he has not seen himself before, and he has made a comprehensive image change, even that The ring recognized by Kristin was re-disguised, and a large ruby ​​was embedded on it, which looked like a typical upstart.

Xiu believes that Raschel's suspicions and questions about himself were initially just a professional instinct. However, from his successful temptation, he found that he possessed the energy of fighting spirit and was found out by himself, and everything began to change dramatically. The tentative behavior that originally performed well changed at this moment, but it became the other party's reason for doubt.

Raschel will undoubtedly increase his degree of suspicion, and it is a rapid transition from the instinctual temptation at first to the conscious pursuit.

This can be said to be a very bad consequence. Xiu Yi would rather not know who the other party is, and then left.

Now this guy is asking questions continuously, and let him cross-talk like this step by step, he will show his feet sooner or later.

When the opponent's offense continues, the defense alone cannot solve the problem. Xiu was sensitive to this.

"Why just talk about me? Mr. Raschel, in fact, I'm more interested in the work of the Legal Department. The boring family business gives me a headache, which is not exciting. If I can choose, I would prefer to do it like you. Agent. I just saw your ID saying that you were the commander of an operation? That means you should be a very prominent person. "

"Just having certain powers in a case."

"Even if it is so great, I believe you must be excellent, and your experience in solving the case must be very exciting."

"It's really exciting, you know we always deal with fierce criminals, and many times we are born to die."

"Perhaps you would like to share your wonderful story with me?" Xiu Yi asked back: "For example, why did you come to the city of Royo? Are you looking for a criminal?"

"Oh, in order to find an old friend, a long-time friend, but I have never had a chance to meet an old friend. I have been looking for him everywhere during this time, but he is always mysteriously reluctant to show up."

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

"Because he left me at least some information to remind me to come here to find him."

"A hide and seek game?"

Raschel grinned. "Yes, my friend seems to like playing games, so I'm here."

"I guess no one can escape the search of the Legal Department."

"Of course, no one can do it."

"It's amazing to say. Many times I can't imagine, when a cunning criminal is hiding in the vast crowds, how did the agents of the Legal Affairs Bureau find them out? I That is to say, the world is so big, how can you determine where the other party is? You know that young people are always interested in the story of the case. Maybe you can teach me some? "Xiu added wine to Raschel's glass. .

"Oh, thank you, that's complicated. Why don't we keep talking about the Dardanelles?"

"What's there to talk about in a family business? I think it's still more exciting to arrest criminals."

"Oh, some small means are really not worthy of boasting. On the contrary, doing business only reflects human wisdom."

"But I still want to hear it. I think it is exciting to catch criminals." Xiu Yi laughed.

"It seems we admire each other."

"People always care about what they can't get."

The two laughed at the same time.

These two people are like playing Tai Chi, extending the problem to the other person's body as much as possible.

In Raschel's eyes, any attempt to test the other party may be Shuigler's behavior, which is a very normal job need. From the moment he saw him, the boy in front of him felt that the other party was not simple. He was like a veiled beauty, with "Story and Secret" written behind that veil.

Especially after Xiu Yi wetted his jacket and found out his true identity, Raschel felt that if this was not a coincidence, then the identity of the other party was worth scrutinizing.

He was like seeing a mysterious beauty, eager to break the veil of each other, and explore what was behind. It ’s just that the veil of this “beauty” does n’t look good. For Xiuyi, shifting the focus of the problem to Raschel himself is the best way to avoid losing words. Understand each other's secrets.

This makes the contact between the two people full of comical sense of drama, they hide each other's inner secrets, and then try to dig out each other's secrets. Raschel wanted to know if the other party was Hugh Glair, and Hughey wanted to know how much the other party doubted him. Was Rasher alone? Should you kill your opponents immediately to eliminate the trouble!

They are like holding opponents sitting at the negotiating table, talking and laughing on the surface, but with hidden murder in their backs.

They talked to each other insincerely, tried each other to try each other out, raise questions, and avoid problems ...

Maybe in the next second, blood will flow into the tavern.

The air in the tavern was hazy.

"I'm almost drinking, Mr. Raschel," Xiu said, and he lowered his glass: "It's time to go back."

"Are you leaving so soon?"

"Yes. But ..." Xiu reached Raschel's ear: "I remember you promised to send me a ride. I mean I'm worried that someone will follow me after I leave , Save my money. But if I was accompanied by an agent of the Legal Department, I would be much safer. "

"I'm happy to **** you," Raschel said, picking up his soaked jacket.

As he walked, his legs began to shake: "Oh, I drink a bit too much, Master Dardanelle, can you help me?"

"No problem." Xiu Yi stepped forward to support him.

Raschel seemed to be trying to grab Xiu's shoulder, but his hand accidentally caught Xiu's glasses.

Xiu's head flickered back a little, avoiding the scratch: "Take your time, Mr. Raschel, you almost lost my glasses."

"Oh, I'm really drunk. I'm sorry, but maybe you can see more clearly without glasses. I mean ... how much is that?" Raschel answered vaguely, shaking his head desperately, looking Some dizziness.

"Not very tall," Xiu answered coldly.

He helped Raschel walk out of the tavern, and they walked on the open roads of the city and talked to each other at will.

It looks like a pair of old friends.

—The streets of Royo City at night are lonely and deep, and almost no passersby are walking.

Occasionally, a wild cat called Chun, screaming in the dark.

A drunk man walks along the road and reads by computer

m) Singing loudly in the mouth, then fell down the ditch beside the road, and the cold wind blew through, making people shudder and tremble.

Xiu helped Raschel walk on the empty street.

"Oh! Nice to meet you, Master Dardanelle. It's so young. Look at me. I'm almost fifty years old. I'm getting old. Look, my hair is all white."

Raschel said, pointing to his head.

"Just a little."

"Maybe I should dye my hair. What color do you think I should dye better? I mean, if you have that ... potion, maybe you can give me a bottle?"

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

"That's a pity," Raschel muttered.

"Mr. Raschel, it looks like you're really drunk. I don't think you're fit to take me home, I'll go back by myself."

"Oh, no, no, don't go." Raschel held Xiu's hand and said, "Tell me where do you live? I can take you back. Don't forget that I'm an agent and a criminal's nemesis. Bad People will scare me when they see me! "

Xiu noticed that he grabbed his hand firmly and forcefully, not at all like a drunk man.

"Is that so?" Xiu laughed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Raschel. I forgot to tell you that we have left the danger zone. I mean, look, there is no one behind us. Neither I am trying to track down those who are killing me, and no one is behind you to protect you. I thought that as the commander of a major operation, you should be protected by someone. But now it seems that you are a single person today. "

Raschel's grasping Xiu's hand loosened slightly.

Xiu noticed a slight shaking of his body, and a smug smile on his face.

Then he continued: "So you see, Mr. Raschel. Now it's safe here. Since there are no bad people here, there will be no threat to our lives, we don't have to walk together again, right? We You can go home individually. "

Raschel nodded: "You're right, lad. If there are bad people, I will be unlucky."

His hand was completely loose. (Computer reading

Xiu turned and left.

Raschel shouted behind his back: "Can you know where you live? Master Dardanelle."

"Silent Island Hotel, top floor," Xiu answered.

"I'll see you when I'm free. I mean ... isn't it easy for the world to meet someone who can talk? Right, I'm happy talking to you."

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

Raschel nodded. He thought for a while and said, "Very well, maybe I'll take a friend to see you."

"The Dardanelle family is looking forward to your visit." Xiu Yi made an elegant gesture of invitation.

A carriage stopped next to Xiuyi, and Xiuyi jumped onto the carriage with vigorous and flexible movements without any slight delay.

He sat in a carriage and raised his hand towards Raschel, and as the driver's whip whipped, the wheels rolled and faded into the dark night.

Raschel stared into the dark, and a pair of eyes that were slightly cloudy due to drunkenness gradually became brighter. !! ~!
