Uncrowned king

The room they were in was 613, and this card was the room card of 614. Smith guessed: "Someone must be eavesdropping in the next room, listening to our deduction, and then sending the room card over to provoke."

"..." Miao Yu looked up at him silently.

Smith was somewhat guilty, coughed and said, "It was my mistake, but I'm not a professional anti-eavesdropping talent..."

Miao Yu didn't accept the answer: "...then why don't you ask Pluto directly for help?"

Questions such as guessing who owns "Wild Poppy" certainly cannot be found in Pluto, but this kind of technical problem of anti-eavesdropping, if Miao Yu didn't see Smith's professional appearance, he would have called Xiao Bai a long time ago. With such a reliable person, he can also be a pig teammate.

"...I thought I could handle it..." Smith said halfway, and suddenly realized, "We randomly chose a hotel, checked into the room at random, and entered directly after opening the room below. There was no delay in discussing issues. , it's been less than half an hour now..."

Miao Yu also understood that even if there was a problem with Smith's anti-eavesdropping methods, they acted quickly and did not give the other party time to install sophisticated wiretapping equipment that could escape Smith's detection.

The other party probably didn't hear anything, but they got their location by means, so they deliberately sent such a room card to make them misunderstand that the room was no longer safe.

He breathed a sigh of relief, thought to himself, and said what about Joel, didn't he get confused when something happened?If it weren't for Smith's quick reaction, the unknown opponent would have succeeded.

Regardless of whether he can be selected for Pluto this time, Miao Yu is satisfied. In just half a day, he has learned a lot from Smith alone.

Smith also relaxed a little, at least he didn't lose face in front of the juniors, and said in a low voice: "Among the people I know, there is no one who is capable enough to be eligible to be invited to join the Pluto team, let alone know that I will also participate Chosen people."

Miao Yu was still thinking about what he had learned, and he was stunned for a moment when he heard this sentence, but he didn't react.

After all, he has little experience, and Smith didn't care that he didn't understand what he meant. He analyzed in detail: "We also took considerable secrecy measures when we came, and the other party was not in the carnival venue at the beginning. After all, we didn't find anything suspicious. character. But he still found us within half an hour, which was pretty targeted."

The organizer of Pluto clearly hinted that this mission is a competition between several teams, and there is only one piece of "Wild Poppy".The two sides have to stand on the same starting line, and the time to receive the task will be roughly the same. Miao Yu understood, and suddenly said: "As soon as he received the task, he started looking for us, and found the room we were in immediately. This is a man who is very good at searching."

After the other party found them, they seemed very sure that they would be able to gain something within half an hour, so they sent room cards to test them out, which was an affirmation of their ability.And Smith first said that the problem would not lie with him, which means that this person has a certain understanding of Miao Yu and has a high evaluation of his ability.

Miao Yu smiled bitterly, and said helplessly, "You are in the dark, but I am already standing in the light."

This is his big disadvantage. Private detectives are very mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people, but they are really worthless in the gray world. Miao Yu's defeat of Pluto can be easily known to anyone who is interested in it, so he really has no way to lock it down. Who is this unknown competitor.

Even so, he thought a little more: "It seems that this competitor is not very good at analyzing intelligence, otherwise he wouldn't bet on me."

Smith smiled, played with the room card of 614, and said thoughtfully: "He didn't locate our location before, and we had already discussed it after we found it. He didn't get any useful information, so he sent the room card. Want us to change places."

This is a very active attack method. Miao Yu's heart moved. This behavior pattern is somewhat similar to his. He is not afraid that the opponent will not move. If the opponent moves, he will have a chance to find a gap.

There is one person who fits this behavior pattern, and Miao Yu has dealt with it recently, but there must be people with similar patterns, and it is not certain whether it is that one.

No matter how he thinks about it, Miao Yu doesn't think it would be such a coincidence, and he won't be so narcissistic that he thinks that the heir to the top three—in order to save words, Miao Yu decided to call him "little three tops" in the future—has chased more than half of the world, and chased him all the way. brought him here, and participated in the Pluto tryouts for him.

Thinking about it this way, Miao Yu sent a text message to Xiao Bai asking for help: Is it another player who sent us the room card?

Xiao Bai was still annoyed with Smith when he was choosing a teammate for him, and after whimpering for a long time, he still replied: Yes.

Miao Yu asked: Are you sure it's the player himself?

Xu Dela has been watching Miao Yu and Xiao Bai's news since just now, and he has the duty of monitoring, lest Xiao Bai can't help providing too much news to Miao Yu.

Seeing Miao Yu's second text message at this time, Xu Dela smiled playfully: "It seems that he suspects that this contestant is a friend."

Xiao Bai didn't know how to reply, and asked, "Is that the real person?"

"How do I know this? I'm mainly responsible for the line between Myu and old Nat. You should contact Styx." Xu Dela lazily said, "Miao's meticulous thinking is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Look at him. A guess without any evidence, Styx will have to be busy."

Xiao Bai didn't think there was anything wrong with troubling Garcia because of Miao Yu's problem, so he started typing on the keyboard without saying a word.After a while, he messaged Miao Yu back: "It is confirmed that it is a real person."

Although he was a real person, Garcia noticed a suspicious signal and had contacted that player, but just like Smith has his own team, he also has the right to invite foreign aid, which doesn't explain anything.

Xiao Bai now understands why the main star made people guard him like a thief. Familiarity and unfamiliarity are different. For example, even if it is proved that there is no problem now, given Miao Yu’s doubts, Xiao Bai still tried his best to start investigating that person. Suspicious signal.

Xu Dela poured cold water on him: "These numbers are specially encrypted, you can't find anything, don't waste your energy."

Xiao Bai whispered: "Idle is idle, can't I practice my hand?"

Xu Dela shook his head with a smile and said nothing more.

——————————————————————————————————————

Smith's small gang itself is very powerful, and Claude Joel did not do it cleanly back then, but he quickly found conclusive evidence.

Smith said flatly: "The focus of this level is to see who can get the "Wild Poppy" the fastest, so it is not difficult to lock the target. It is probably discovered by Pluto members by accident, and then directly used as a test question."

He really didn't think it was a big deal to find the evidence. It was Miao Yu who provided the idea. It was obvious that Miao Yu scored more points in this level, and he was inferior by more than one point.

Miao Yu carefully looked at the materials he handed over, and asked, "Do you have any ideas?" Smith got the materials one step ahead of him, probably because he had a general idea in his mind, so he showed the materials to him again.

"This kind of world-famous painting requires a special environment for preservation, otherwise it will cause irreparable damage to the canvas." Smith said, and handed Miao Yu another document, "Even if Joel himself has the professional knowledge of oil painting preservation , without the need for manpower, there is always an expense to provide the required environment."

After a pause, he continued: "I screened his account records for the past three years, and found that starting from the month when "Wild Poppy" was suspected of being stolen, [-] euros would be paid to an account every April. Registered under the name of a leather bag company in Nigeria."

The leather bag company was specially set up for money laundering, and the money was split to all over the world without any trace.But since Smith mentioned it, he must have gained something. He pointed to one of the documents and told Miao Yu: "At the same time, there is an account that can receive [-] euros a month and buy a large number of oil paintings. Maintenance supplies, purchased from a store very close to Claude Jol's property outside of Copenhagen."

Smith's expression was not very good-looking when he spoke. It is true that his information was very helpful, but these did not substantially promote the selection.

Spending a lot of time sifting through materials is what the younger brothers need to do. The things he is doing now are not helpful at all to prove his leadership.

Smith felt depressed no matter what he thought, first Miao Yu guessed that the oil painting was in the hands of Joel himself, and used it to make a big splash, and then he was naturally given the opportunity to express himself, so he went to work hard, and now he should After giving up the initiative, it's time for Miao Yu to provide a plan to show his leadership. He handed over the initiative by himself, but there is no chance to take it back?

Seeing that his expression was not good, Miao Yu had an idea of ​​what he was struggling with, and asked, "That means the oil painting is probably hidden in a villa in the suburb of Yoel?"

He was handing over the initiative of the conversation to Smith. Miao Yu would not have done this if the two parties still had the atmosphere of stumbling each other at the beginning.But now the two sides expressed that they would cooperate sincerely. After confirming the formation of the team, Smith's little tricks were obediently accepted, and Miao Yu did not blindly press others to fight.

Smith was quite obedient, and immediately realized the meaning of Miao Yu's words. He glanced at him meaningfully, sighed secretly, and said in his mouth: "In the first two years, the expenditure of this account was still unavailable. It was probably spent in cash, but after a long period of time, Joel also relaxed his vigilance and started using credit cards from users, which immediately revealed his flaws."

After finishing the transition sentence, Smith was not polite, and he began to talk about his plan: "After receiving the threatening phone call, Joel obviously panicked and has been trying to get in touch with me again. I think it will be easy to start from here. .”

Miao Yu responded, and said bluntly: "You have cooperated with your team many times, so I will not follow along."

To show leadership, of course, it is best for Smith to lead his own team. Smith was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Huh?"

Miao Yu made a gesture and said with a smile: "Isn't there someone who is not open-eyed and staring at us? I'll get rid of him first."

Smith made a move against Joel. It is estimated that the person who was spying on them should know who owns the oil painting. Instead of arguing with Smith who is leading the operation and tearing his face, Miao Yu chose to take a step back. Go out against your competitors yourself.
