Red Moon Returns

"Hehe, you are exaggerating. Those are all misinformation from people with good intentions. Everything is subject to the official announcement."

"After the cocktail party starts, Her Royal Highness will naturally announce the news, and everyone will know it by then."

"Haha, I am not trying to keep you all in suspense. I also want you to know the result as soon as possible, but since it concerns Her Royal Highness, I, a commoner, dare not say anything casually. You should wait for Her Royal Highness to tell you herself. Anyway, there is only more than half an hour left. Please be more patient."

Lin Qi was in a corner of the courtyard, holding a wine glass and standing under the lamp. There were more than a dozen guests sitting or standing around him, making this corner the most lively area of ​​the Earl's Mansion. At this time, Lin Qi seemed to have changed into a different person. He was free and unrestrained under the gaze of everyone. He was not only very familiar with the identities and preferences of the nobles around him, but also had proper etiquette and conversation, which made him impeccable.

Facing the temptation of the crowd, he did not give a definite answer, and pushed everything onto Princess Chloe, but his body was very honest. He mysteriously took out a cloth purse, untied the bag a little, and a bright red light immediately lit up. This made everyone understand that the lost gem of Her Royal Highness the Princess was successfully found by this suddenly rising detective within a few days.

Officer Natalie glanced at him in confusion, always thinking that this guy was deliberately showing off, but Lynch did not tell her that he must have his concerns, and the police officer did not ask more.

Seeing the lost property being found with their own eyes, all the guests were amazed at Lynch, and for a while there was laughter and joy, and the atmosphere was particularly harmonious, making the surroundings the focus of the venue.

But some people were not so harmonious.

A young guest seemed to be touched by the guest behind him, stumbled a few steps in the direction of Lynch, and stumbled to his side before barely stopping. Just as he stood firm and wanted to apologize for his loss of composure, he looked up and saw that Lin Qi had just turned to the other side. In front of him was his tall female companion, squinting her eyes and staring at him with a smile. The man frowned, nodded with a smile, and then retreated into the crowd again, secretly signaling to the outside of the crowd with his eyes.

A moment later, a waiter passed by the crowd with a tray, and his eyes met with the young man, then he slightly adjusted his direction and cut towards the edge of the crowd.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer, two black-clad security guards suddenly appeared from behind the crowd and blocked the waiter's forward path. The two quickly moved aside. The wrong direction just blocked the waiter's angle to approach the crowd. The two sides met expressionlessly, and the waiter changed direction again, cutting through the crowd and moving away quickly, while the two security guards turned and disappeared into the shadow cast by the nearby bushes.

Soon, four or five more guests were attracted from other places, talking and laughing as they approached the crowd. One of them showed his corsage in a hidden corner and then approached the crowd with his companion.

Coincidentally, two waiters with empty trays came sideways and crossed paths with several people. No one noticed that there seemed to be two syringes filled with transparent liquid hidden behind the trays of the two waiters.

Several people quickly approached the crowd. When they turned around, they found that one of their companions with a corsage was missing. Looking back, this companion had sat on the bench next to him without knowing when, with his eyes closed and snoring softly. When they got close to him, they smelled the smell of alcohol. It was obvious that he had drunk too much and passed out unconsciously. This made several people ashamed and angry, and they quickly helped the embarrassed companion to the guest room to rest.

For a while, similar situations occurred continuously. From time to time, people with strange looks tried to approach the talkative detective in various identities, but there were always people with equally strange looks who suddenly appeared at the right time and quietly forced the approaching people back.

And the approaching people did not force it, and immediately changed their angles and identities, and quietly approached again, and then were forced back by others again.

The two sides were like two fighting masters, one constantly testing the opponent, and once the opponent showed a flaw, he would immediately drive straight in and directly deliver a fatal blow, while the other side defended tightly, quietly blocking every attack of the opponent, and never revealing a flaw.

The undercurrent continued to surge, and in a blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.

After a period of high-intensity greetings, as other guests arrived one after another, the guests' attention was gradually attracted by the new guests, and finally let Lin Qi go. There were fewer guests around him, and no one greeted him frequently anymore.

Lynch could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He went to the bathroom of the mansion to tidy up for a while, then returned to the garden, picked up a glass of red wine, sat alone among the guests in groups of three or four, and waited quietly for the cocktail party to begin.

Since the crowd around him had dispersed, those strange-looking testers were no longer convenient to approach frequently, so they restrained themselves a lot. Occasionally, someone would try, but the defense line of the watcher was always tight, never leaving any chance for those who had ill intentions.

Everything was changing in a good direction, but outside the attention range of Lynch and the watchers, in the shadows of the bushes outside the garden lights, someone was closely watching everything that happened at the venue.

"Damn it, Mr. Kelvin, you are right. Sure enough, the disgusting guys of the watchers also entered. With them interfering behind, my people couldn't get close to the detective at all, let alone get the things, and even couldn't confirm whether the things were on him."

"This is a good thing. Without the protection of the Watcher, how can we calm his nervousness? If he really finds a room to hide, we will be in more trouble."

In the darkness, a tall black shadow said elegantly and easily:

"Now this cunning guy has finally been fooled. He probably can't think that these people are just distracting him and letting him down."

"Hehe, yes, as long as his vigilance is reduced to a certain level, he will be an unguarded prey in front of Robin's fake hand."

With a rustling sound, Walker took out a wooden glove and slowly put it on his hand:

"I believe he would never dream that Princess Chloe had to agree to lend this strange item. I'm sorry, Mr. Lynch Leviev, the game is over, and now the gem is mine."

As he said, the wooden glove grabbed the void in the direction of Lynch, and then opened the glove with certainty.

The smile froze on his face instantly, because there was nothing on the glove.

The use of the gloves is very simple. As long as the target object once belonged to oneself, the holder's vigilance is low to a certain extent, and the image of the object is conceived in the mind, then as long as this grab is made, the target will appear in the gloves.

Conceptually, the gem was indeed transferred to Walker. Lynch did it himself, so all the conditions for the use of the fake hand are met. There is only one possibility for not grabbing it now.

The target is not on the other party at all.

"Damn, he gave it to Angel?" Walker's face changed. "Hasn't someone been watching him all the time? How did he have time... Damn, it's the bathroom. They must have exchanged gems in the bathroom. I was wondering why that woman suddenly disappeared. Lynch was left to attract our attention, and he hid with the gems and waited for time. The two bastards teased me again, you find her for me, didn't you mark them on the two people, find her for me no matter where she hides. Go quickly."
