"Who are you?" The police officer was stunned for a moment, not recognizing that Lin En was a member of the car that caused the accident.
"Ordinary passengers, I have a business deal that I would like to discuss with your captain." Linn glanced behind him. A car away, Reiner's figure was looming.
Fortunately, Reiner saw with his own eyes that he took the initiative to find the policeman, so he did not rush over to support him, but stayed where he was and watched.
The policeman looked Lin En up and down: "What business?"
"I have to talk to your captain," Linn said.
His idea was simple. He would contact Quentin directly under another name and find out the details in a logical way. This would be much faster and more efficient than hiding in the dark and peeking.
It is also less likely to be suspected.
"Oh, let's go." The policeman led Lin En towards the other end with great interest.
Linn followed behind and waved a hand on his back, signaling to Reiner not to worry.
Although the two had not worked together many times, they unexpectedly had a tacit understanding. Reiner understood it and followed behind at a distance of one car.
"Sergeant, someone wants to see you and wants to discuss a business deal." The policeman took Lin ** outside the policeman's rest area and shouted through a door.
"Business talk?" came a question from the other side of the door. Soon, Captain Quentin opened the door and walked out.
Lin En took advantage of the moment the door opened and glanced inside. In the rest area, the robbers had taken off their handcuffs and were smoking, talking and laughing with the policeman who stayed inside.
They are indeed in the same group.
"You? What's the matter?" Quentin recognized Linn as one of the passengers in the accident car.
"I want to discuss a business deal with you." Linn replied calmly.
"Those robbers are your people, right?" Lin En pierced the window paper.
Captain Quentin narrowed his eyes: "Don't say nonsense if there is no basis for it."
"Don't worry, I won't spread the word. As long as you pay me a hush fee, I will remember this matter for the rest of my life," Lin En said.
"Haha...is this the business you're talking about?" Quentin seemed to have lowered his vigilance.
Lin En said "Yeah": "Besides, I have nothing to do. I went to the imperial capital this time just to make a living. If you think I can do it and my brain is okay, I can also waive the hush money and work with you from now on."
"
"Fuck with me?" Quentin's eyes were indifferent, "You come in first."
"Are you trying to silence yourself?" Linn asked in a joking tone.
"How could that happen?" Quentin said with a half-hearted smile, "You are quite interesting, come in and chat."
[Perception] did not alert Linn to any hostility within fifty meters, so Quentin should really want to drag him in for a detailed discussion, rather than kill him in a confined space.
After following Quentin into the rest area, Lin En choked on the smoke and coughed: "Ahem..."
"Sit." Quentin sat on a recliner, "Introduce yourself."
"My name is——"
"Brother." Before Lin En could tell his name, the leader of the robbers, Boss Xin, looked at Captain Quentin, "He is one of the gang I mentioned."
One of those people?
Lin En moved his eyes to Boss Xin in surprise, trying to understand what he meant by this nonsense.
"What number is he?" Quentin's tone changed slightly.
[Perception], at the same time, he sensed that hostility was gathering on Quentin's body.
Too bad.
Linn was ready to use coins to delay time and evacuate the rest area by himself.
"He is..." Boss Xin was kicked so hard by Reiner that he didn't pay attention.
"The second one!" The other strong men remembered it clearly and rushed to say.
"The second one...is he familiar with the first one?" Quentin asked again.
"Looks like we're familiar," the strong man replied.
Quentin looked at Lin En thoughtfully: "The first person to resist was your friend?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Linn's brain was working rapidly, trying to connect the first one, the second one, and Quentin's rising hostility.
Was it because Quentin was unhappy knowing that they had ruined the robbers' plan?
Or is there another reason?
"Where is he?"
"He was in the carriage before I left," Linn said.
"Is it your personal idea to defect to me, or is it your collective idea?"
"Personally. And I want to make it clear that the first person and I are actually not familiar with each other. We only chatted a few words because we were sitting together." Lin En didn't understand the situation yet, but he was sure.
There's no harm in denying acquaintance with Reiner here.
"That's it." Quentin's hostility decreased.
Lynn made the right bet.
"Did you notice anything unusual about the person next to you along the way?" Quentin asked questions one after another.
"Abnormal?" Linn pretended to think.
It seems that Quentin is eyeing Reiner.
Why are you targeting him?
Two seconds later, Lin En put everything together smoothly and felt suddenly enlightened.
Quentin suspects that there are cleaners with extraordinary powers in that carriage!
The glass in the carriage suddenly burst, and the timing of the burst was really coincidental.
After the robbers were brought back, they must have mentioned firearms. The knives suddenly became too heavy to lift.
These abnormal and strange phenomena were enough to make Quentin think that there were similar people in the carriage.
So how do you confirm who is the cleanup person?
He used a very simple method.
At the same time as the windows burst and the ironwork was out of control, who among the passengers raised his head first and started to resist.
Among the first people to stand up and resist, there should be cleaning personnel. And the first one to stand up is the most likely to be the cleaning personnel!
That’s why they mention ‘the first’ and ‘the second’.
At the same time, Quentin became hostile after learning that Linn was the second passenger to resist. Then he withdrew his hostility after Linn denied that he was familiar with Reiner, the first passenger to resist.
It’s true that he is also an [extraordinary person].
Quentin is not stupid. In a very short period of time, by questioning the robbers, he confirmed the existence of the same kind and reduced the scope of the same kind to the minimum.
So what to do now?
Originally, he and Reiner had planned to take a preemptive strike before their identities were revealed. They would use whatever means they had and use them all on Quentin. Are they still afraid that he would not die?
But now, Quentin has listed them as one of the suspects.
If they show up again, they will be easily noticed and alert.
But the situation doesn't fall into the category of 'bad' yet.
After all, Quentin would never have thought that Linn had the [Eye of the Peeper], and he had figured out his true identity from the very beginning.
Even if he now guesses that Lin En and Reiner are the same kind, he will feel complacent because he feels that he is still hiding in the dark.
The initiative is still in the hands of Lynn and Reiner.
"There was nothing unusual, but something was wrong with the man sitting diagonally across from me." Lin En shook off the suspicion first and muddied the water. "When the robber appeared, he didn't panic at all. We took advantage of the window explosion to rush in and fight.
At that time, he didn't come to help. Afterwards, he closed his eyes and slept peacefully."
"Oh?" Quentin raised an eyebrow, "Maybe it's because he has no money, so he doesn't care about being robbed."
"The problem is that he doesn't look like a poor man based on his clothes," Linn said.
"Really... take me to meet him." Quentin was a little shaken by Lin En's solemn words and decided to go back to the carriage to verify the identity of the same person.
