The Death Plan of a Hero of the Empire

"A glass of orange juice."

"Okay, come right away."

Not long after, the waiter came over with a glass of orange juice.

"Please enjoy."

"Wait, can I ask something?" Lunier stopped the waiter.

"No problem, what do you want to ask?"

"I don't know if you know Kenli and Lani?"

"Ah? The two of them are regular customers in our store..." The waiter's expression changed obviously, as if he didn't want to mention these two people. "It's just that they seem to have passed away."

"What do they usually order when they come to the store?"

"These two orders are all black tea." The waiter replied, "It's just ordinary black tea, occasionally with some cakes."

"Then please bring me a cup of the same black tea."

"Okay, please wait..."

Lu Nier watched the waiter leave and went to the front desk to say something, and then the front desk walked into the back kitchen, probably preparing black tea for him.

第 156

Chapter 155 Bright but short-lived brilliance (20)

When the black tea was served, Lu Nier first looked at the front desk, and then looked at the black tea.

The receptionist was a middle-aged man who looked a bit gentle, but his attitude was very perfunctory, as if even asking him to make black tea was a bit reluctant.

Lu Nier drank the lipstick tea and found that it was just like what the family of the deceased said, this black tea was really very ordinary.

Usually to the extent that Lu Nier would not come to drink a second time.

This makes the deceased's purpose of coming here all the time even more suspicious.

Naturally, Lu Nier would not waste his time on drinking tea, he walked to the front desk straightforwardly, paid the bill for the black tea, and then started asking directly.

"Are you the owner of this store?"

"That's right." The man looked a little wary, "If you want to ask about those two people, I can only tell you that I don't know anything."

Lu Nier just silently took out his ID card, and then waved it in front of the coffee shop owner, who suddenly turned bitter.

"Master Investigator...their affairs really have nothing to do with me."

"It seems that you know something." Lu Nier looked at the expression of the coffee shop owner, "If you are really innocent, then I will not arrest you, you just need to tell what you know."

"Well, those two people actually didn't come to our shop to drink coffee and eat, but to... to take medicine."

"Take medicine?"

"Yes." The owner of the coffee shop explained, "I don't know what kind of medicine it is, because every time someone personally delivers it, it is directly soaked in the ready-made black tea, and then I serve the black tea Go up and give those two men a drink."

"Why are you doing this?"

"Because...that person, he..." At this point, the owner of the coffee shop hesitated, and it took him a long time to finish, "He gave too much..."

After finishing speaking, the owner of the coffee shop quickly explained.

"I'm just serving tea, that's the one who actually poisoned me! And the Patrol Bureau didn't bother with me, so your Investigation Bureau shouldn't have trouble with me..."

Lu Nier was not surprised. It was not surprising that people from the Patrol Bureau asked this person for questioning.

However, after the Patrol Bureau knew that there was a person who was suspected of poisoning, the case report still wrote in the same way, and even used poison to perfuse the family of the deceased. This is a very abnormal thing.

"Do you know what that person looks like? Or what's his name?"

"I don't know... He and I have always contacted me unilaterally, but the name... it should be just a nickname. He said that it is enough to call him a doctor. I have never met him, but I have only talked to him a few times. , and it’s all in the absence of seeing other people, so it’s probably an older man.”

"Then why did he give you the drugged black tea?"

"I prepare the black tea within the stipulated time, then put it in the back kitchen, and when the time is up, I will serve the black tea out..."

"When the Patrol Bureau found you, it shouldn't be that simple, right?" Lu Neil continued to ask.

"Yes... I bleed a lot to settle them. I filled in everything I got from the doctor, and I posted a lot of them backwards. After that, I was instructed to be a bait. People from the Patrol Bureau Let me find a way to contact him, but since he suddenly stopped taking the medicine one day, he has never contacted me again."

"Did Kenli and Lani say nothing after the drug was discontinued?"

"Of course, they came to me like crazy and asked me to get them that kind of medicine, but I didn't have it. They gave up after a long time of trouble, and then they died, and the police came to me, and now they are investigating The bureau also came to the door... I really shouldn't have agreed to that bastard." The owner of the coffee shop said with a depressed face.

"What do you think of that drug?"

"It's a miraculous medicine. I want to take it, but I haven't dared to. In fact, I'm right that I didn't take it, because those two people were poisoned to death. I suspect that kind of medicine may be some kind of black stuff that makes people excited. I guess it was to find a test product, so I came to me and borrowed the coffee shop as a cover, but those two people, they also both voluntarily drank the drug, and both of them came on time."

"Voluntary?" Lu Nier was a little surprised, "How do you know that the two of them are voluntary?"

"Because they told me that themselves, I've talked to both of them, so I know."

Lu Nier had almost finished asking, and after knowing what he wanted, he left the coffee shop.

As for the cafe owner...

There may be doubts, but it should have nothing to do with the death of the two deceased and the drug, otherwise he would have been silenced by now.

Since he is still alive now, it means that the information he knows is really not very important.

"poison……"

Lunier began to think about the two dead, and Layton's symptoms.

Layton—Sudden and explosive increase in the awakening of the blood vessels, stronger body strength, gradual weakening of internal organ functions, sudden changes, and hair turning white at the time of death.

Kenli, Lani—Healthier than before, with some changes in personality, becoming more energetic, gradually weakening internal organs, suspected of taking certain drugs, and hair turning gray when they died.

Judging from the similarity between the two, it is basically certain that the reason for the change in Layton is probably not because he suddenly changed after sleeping, but because he was also given some kind of drug, which may be taken by Kenli and Lani. of the same drug.

This drug is suspected to be soluble in water, and its effect is to increase the health and strength of the body, stimulate the awakening of the sub-human blood vessels, and make people more energetic, but it will cause the internal organs to weaken and gradually die.

And the doctor mentioned by the coffee shop owner, as well as the statement that he was suspected to be an older man, also made Lu Nier connect this clue to Dr. Lake on Yaren Street.

Now all the clues are pointing to Lake, together with the unreasonable income that Lunier saw, it shows that Lake must be doing some unknown, relatively lucrative, and shady black work.

"Doctor... bald head..."

Even the characteristics of the two self-proclaimed nicknames fit well.

After investigating the two bizarre deaths related to the gem case, Lunier set off directly for the gem fair.

He didn't plan to go back to the bureau and tell the others about it, because he felt it would be more dangerous to go alone.

With the power of [Gem of Misfortune], maybe he can go home alone this time.

Lunier knew the strength of those demihumans, and he even estimated that those demihumans were likely to take the medicine given to them by the bald head or the doctor, and that medicine could activate Layton's bloodline awakening degree to at least B level degree, then those demihumans probably wouldn't be too bad.

Demihumans with a high degree of blood awakening have power comparable to ordinary human professionals.

And when Lu Nier was taken hostage to the underground hiding place, he saw a dozen demihumans, including the fighting demihumans in the underground arena.

It is a race suitable for fighting in itself, with a high degree of blood awakening...

According to Lunier's experience in dealing with Layton, he felt that ordinary E-level professionals should not be the opponents of those demi-humans, and only D-level professionals can deal with these demi-humans.

but……

Lu Nier felt that this gem fair was too coincidental.

He even thought that this gem fair might be a trap set up by the Patrol Bureau, just waiting for the bald head to take the bait.

That is to say, this gem trade fair itself is a bait. In fact, the Patrol Bureau has already ambushed at this trade fair, making preparations for an ambush, and waiting for the demihumans to throw themselves into the trap.

Lunier set off to the location of the gem fair.

This time the gem fair was held indoors, in an upscale hotel in the inner ring district.

This fair is divided into two phases, the first phase is for the gems or unprocessed gemstones brought by the free trade of the visitors, and the second phase is to hold an auction for those special , valuable gemstones or raw ore, for auction sales.

This hotel requires strict inspections when entering the venue. Weapons cannot be carried, and clothing and identity must be verified. Therefore, it is simply impossible for those Asians to sneak in through the main entrance.

In this case, it seems that the only choice for those demihumans is to break through.

When Lu Nier felt that the hotel where the trade fair was held was near the entrance, he was keenly aware that the security forces here were unusual.

This unusualness does not lie in how exaggerated the security force here is, on the contrary, the security force here seems to be at a normal level, that is, the standard that meets the specifications of this trade fair, and will not exceed it.

What really makes Lu Nier feel unusual is that the security personnel of these trade fairs, their temperament, attitude, and external physical strength are not like ordinary security guards. Security guards of this level can be regarded as elites. up.

Lu Nier didn't enter this hotel, because he probably couldn't get in, and those who could enter here had to go through identity checks, so Lu Nier could only stay nearby and wait.

His plan is very simple, that is, to wait for the demihumans to raid the trade fair, and then he will take the opportunity to stop those demihumans.

Even with his current strength, it would definitely be very dangerous to deal with those demihumans.

Lunier put on [The Phantom of the Opera] and waited like this until the sky was getting darker.

The hotel was brightly lit, and the laughter was uninterrupted. Obviously, the trade fair seemed to be held very successfully.

Lu Nier hid nearby, while watching for traces of demihumans, and at the same time paying attention to whether this trade fair was a trap by the Patrol Bureau.

After his observation, the possibility of this trade fair being a trap is very high. Those security guards don’t feel like security guards at all. There is no fisherman. It seems that something will happen today. They all have a very dedicated attitude. .

Lu Nier couldn't help but wonder, is it possible that these so-called security guards are people from the Patrol Bureau pretending to be?

"Isn't it here yet?"

Just when Lu Nier began to wonder whether the demihumans had given up their actions today, several carriages drove slowly and stopped at the entrance of the hotel.

The two welcome staff hurried forward, wanting to greet the people who were about to get off the carriage.

however……

The next moment, several demihumans rushed out of the carriage, and suddenly launched a surprise attack on the hotel.

The security guards reacted extremely quickly. The moment the demihumans left the carriage to launch a surprise attack, they joined forces and blocked the entrance of the hotel, intercepting all the demihumans.

"Don't let any one go, knock them all down!"

A person suspected of being the security captain shouted loudly.

"Yes!"

The other security guards responded, and fired back at the demihumans.

These demihumans also have a high degree of blood awakening, and their race is also the kind that tends to fight, and each of them has shown their race's talent advantage.

But it was useless, they were suppressed in an instant.

This kind of suppression refers to cooperation. They were restrained by those security guards, and they were all entangled in place, unable to advance at all.

However, at this moment, a security guard rushed out in a panic and shouted loudly.

"Demihumans were also found in the hotel! Please help!"

It seems that the demihumans not only found an entrance to enter the hotel, but some somehow got into the hotel.

"A few of you are here to deal with them, and the rest will follow me into the hotel to support!"

The security captain said that only security guards equal in number to the demihumans remained, and then led the others into the hotel.

Seeing this, Lu Nier has no doubts about the identities of these security guards. These security guards are simply the elites of the Patrol Bureau wearing security skins.

Lunil didn't hesitate any longer, and walked out directly, attacking the demihumans who were entangled with the Patrol Bureau from behind.

"Who is he?"

Whether it's the demihumans or the people from the Patrol Bureau, they are all confused at this moment, and they are full of doubts when facing this masked man who suddenly rushed out.

However, when the people from the Patrol Bureau discovered that he was helping to directly attack the demihumans, they made Lu Nier a friendly army by default, but because of the unknown relationship, they were still vigilant against Lu Nier and kept a certain relationship with Lu Nier. distance.

Not long after the fight, a demihuman suddenly roared, crouched on the ground, and rushed out like a spring, threw a member of the Patrol Bureau to the ground, and then bit his neck .

"Roar!"

"careful!"

Lu Nier noticed this, rushed forward and kicked the demi-human on the neck, kicked him to the side, and then pulled the patrolman up.

"Thank...Thank you!"

This move made the people in the Patrol Bureau let down a lot of guard against Lu Nier, and they were no longer so defensive towards Lu Nier.
