Chapter 1087 Longding Inn (9)
"Temporary allies..."
Repeating what he said before paying, Gerald just looked at Elena and sneered.
"Is it true? This Mr. Lu is your new team member?"
The threatening meaning of these words is undoubtedly quite serious, and it means that you really want to get involved and take the responsibility.
Gerald thought he knew a lot about Elena's team.
A guard on the verge of losing control, a walking dead who reappeared after disappearing for a long time, and the only one who is still a bit of a threat is Elena.
And from previous interactions with her, we can know that she may be crazy, but she is definitely not stupid. There is no reason for her to do such an unprovoked act of killing.
So from the beginning, he did not regard these three people as suspects.
At this moment, as long as these three people can retreat wisely to save some trouble, I won't be the same as them.
"Of course Mr. Lu is not a member of our team, but after our conversation just now, we did decide to act together in the subsequent blessing."
However, what he didn't expect was that Elena's response was frighteningly straightforward.
"Mainly, through communication, we found that there is no conflict of interest between each other."
Under Gerald's disbelieving gaze, Elena even explained the reasons for her decision, which was reasonable and well-founded.
In fact, this is indeed true.
It is true that the Mr. Lu in front of him is moody and an absolutely dangerous person, but this incident seems to be getting weird.
In the previous battles, it is true that Siren and Ji were in tit-for-tat, but it is hard to imagine that they would commit such a direct assassination in full view of the public.
Not to mention that this year Ji seems to be avoiding it a little bit.
The situation is strange. Giving up and leaving is of course an option, and there shouldn't even be much obstruction.
But if you want to continue taking action, this unpredictable threat must be taken into consideration.
In this case, having someone as a teammate who obviously knows more is not a bad thing, since he himself is not popular with the Siren anyway.
That's right, in Elena's judgment, Gerald, who came to the door, might not be able to do anything to Mr. Lu.
This kind of invisible killing, Gerald wanted to explain the problem, and he couldn't just find a random suspicious person and kill him.
And she didn't think that Gerald could prove that Mr. Lu really killed him in the tense time that followed.
Of course, the biggest reason for making this decision was the confidence in Lorraine's strength.
Being on guard, Elena believed that even if Mr. Lu wanted to do something detrimental, she would not be without the ability to fight back.
So this risk can still be taken.
…
"Very good... In this case, can your team come with me?"
Things were out of control one after another, and Gerald was obviously shocked and suspicious, but blessings could appear at any time, and he did not waste time.
"Of course, we were going to the front just now."
I happily agreed before paying, as if I had received an invitation to a banquet.
This is definitely an important development for your mission, how could you not take a look.
This pleasure undoubtedly stimulated Siren's people. A group of people seemed to want to beat him to death on the spot. Even Elena couldn't help but sigh.
…
A moment later, this team with mixed emotions returned to the legendary store as the door creaked open.
As expected, there were obviously not many people in the store.
It’s not difficult to understand. If something like this happens, sneaking away before being discovered is certainly suspicious, but leaving right after the incident doesn’t look equally guilty.
Instead, I have to continue sitting here.
Such a delicate situation obviously made the diners in the inn even more resentful of the blessing. As soon as Fu Qian and his party entered the door, almost everyone looked at them with slumped faces.
"Are they all still there?"
Fu Qian seemed oblivious to the resentment and even waved greetings coolly.
At that moment, more than half of the people present at the scene were extremely hopeful that this guy was indeed the murderer and would be shot to death by the Siren.
"Is it him?"
With such high expectations, Fu Qian did not let the audience wait any longer, and even arrived at a wine table before Gerald and his gang.
In the darkness, a figure in a neat action suit was lying there at the desk, seemingly too drunk - if the action suit had not been pierced.
If you look closely, you can see that this lady's black coat has sharp thorns piercing it from different parts.
The spikes are almost transparent, so they are not too conspicuous in the dark, and the shape itself is extremely regular, just like a crystal cluster growing on her.
"When did you discover it?"
He looked it up and down and asked thoughtfully before paying.
…
I came to you to identify the scene, why are you acting like an investigator?
For a while, not only the Siren people, but also the lively audience felt that the style of painting was a bit strange.
"Just after I come back."
Gerald, however, could no longer care about this and replied with a sneer.
"It's been less than a few minutes since you left, and your new allies will be even shorter..."
ally?
When they went out just now, were they discussing cooperation?
The news clearly shocked the audience.
Those who have the courage to appear here have basically been in the wasteland for many years. Most of them know the trio and regard them as potential competitors.
After all, although it is widely rumored that this team is stupid and crippled, Elena herself is not something people dare to underestimate.
She actually chose to cooperate with this mysterious maniac?
The key is that I didn't see any communication between them in advance. Could it be that they had known each other before?
For a moment, everyone's thoughts were running wild.
…
So the middle time is only a few minutes at most.
As a person involved, Fu Qian did not care about what the audience thought, but looked at the body carefully, thoughtfully.
This kind of death is really rare.
Without contact, you can confirm before paying that the inside of this woman's body is already in a state of crystal clusters, including flesh, blood, and bones.
The reason why she keeps lying here is probably not to protect the scene, but because she can no longer make any other moves.
In addition, it is understandable why he was so highly suspected even though he was not present at the scene.
It is obviously different from the previous victim who lost his head. What caused this effect was not a violent trauma, but a force similar to a curse.
And this new assassination method, which is carried out in the air, is invisible, and has delayed onset, is obviously not a problem, which makes the alibi no longer meaningful, and even looks suspicious.
So here comes the question... Is it possible that this new technology was chosen for this purpose?
