The butler pushed the door open with his shoulder, balanced the tray in his hand, and called respectfully to the people in the hall.
The shiny back of the head on the velvet chair squeezed out layers of flesh when it turned back, revealing a square face.
"You came later than usual," Chief Crown said, raising a pair of small gray eyes: "Who is she?"
Lin Sanjiu was now wearing a temporary servant's uniform, with her hands tied and her face lowered, standing behind the housekeeper without saying a word.
"I just hired a helper," the housekeeper smiled and put down the tray, "I asked her to follow me and learn how to do things."
Kerang's eyes scanned Lin Sanjiu up and down. "Why do you find such a tall and tall woman? I don't like her."
"Hey, hey," the housekeeper didn't dare to respond and changed the subject and said, "The mayor is ready to see you."
Lin Sanjiu pushed back the doubts that came over her - because at this time the housekeeper was squinting his eyes, gesturing for her to exit with him. When the two of them walked out the door, he immediately pressed his hand against the wall next to it, which was in the original position.
The ground slowly turned half a circle, revealing a narrow study room.
"You have to stand across from the desk," Lin Sanjiu whispered after the housekeeper followed him into the study, "or you will appear in the picture."
Picture?
Before Lin Sanjiu could ask, he walked towards the table in two steps, picked up a remote control from a huge black instrument, and pressed it against the wall, and a white light suddenly appeared on the entire wall.
As well as Chief Lang's face in the opposite room - he completed this series of actions in one go, obviously not knowing how many times he had done it before.
The butler sat down on the chair with a thump. On the other side of the wall, Chief Krone sat upright and nodded towards the screen. "How is the mayor's health? We all hope that you can come out to speak again."
It seemed that on the other side of the wall, in the image that Crown saw, the person who appeared was no longer a butler, but a person who looked like a "mayor".
Under Lin Sanjiu's gaze, the butler pulled up a microphone and his tone was completely different: "Well, it's been the same lately."
Her eyes fell on the instrument. Although she didn't understand its principle, she could guess that what Commander Krone saw opposite him must be a "mayor"-looking person - and the person who heard it was naturally not the same.
The butler's voice came.
The butler and Crown exchanged a few casual words back and forth, and then turned to the main topic.
"There's a lot of noise in the town tonight," he said slowly.
"Yes, two criminals came from outside the town," Crown said with a serious face. "They wanted to take advantage of our town's rescue system and sneak in to poison and cause damage, but we discovered it in time."
The housekeeper clicked on the instrument and seemed to pause it. He looked up at Lin Sanjiu and whispered, "I'll think of a reason right away to ask him to let you go..."
Before he could finish his words, he only heard Krone on the other side continue to say: "But don't worry, before I came to report, the two of them had been shot dead on the spot by us."
The butler's mouth opened, but this time nothing came out.
"Caught...caught?" he asked after a few seconds.
"Yes, and he is dead." Crown nodded, with a tired expression and a hint of relief: "I have already disposed of the body. We have lived up to the trust of the mayor and the townspeople."
The housekeeper was at a loss and couldn't help but glance at Lin Sanjiu.
"Look what I'm doing," Lin Sanjiu smiled, "Your town is made up of countless lies. Are you surprised that he would lie?"
The housekeeper turned back and stared at the instrument, as if he wanted to see a way out of it. His face quickly turned gray - Lin Sanjiu suddenly understood.
"You originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask him for help, right?" she asked in a low voice, "but you didn't expect that he would block your way to seek help with such a lie... You said, if you tell him now
, you know he is lying, because we are in the mayor's mansion, how will he react?"
She didn't know Krone well, but judging from the butler's face, the reaction might not be ideal.
"I, I... I didn't, I really didn't," the housekeeper paused for a few seconds, then suddenly clicked on the instrument and said, "Then, then you can give the boys under you a holiday.
Go back and rest early! There is no need to stay on guard tonight."
The housekeeper was quite shrewd. When he saw that there was no hope for help, he immediately sold Lin Sanjiu a favor.
"Is it really unnecessary?" Crown adjusted his sitting posture, leaned on the cushion of the chair, and said, "Mayor, is everything in your house still safe?"
"An, it's safe," the housekeeper coughed and resumed his "mayor" tone: "What, didn't you take care of all the threats?"
Crown smiled and said, "Mayor, we haven't seen you for a long time."
As soon as he heard these words, Lin Sanjiu stood up straight and looked around the small study room.
"Since your father passed away and you took over as the mayor, we have only seen you once or twice from a distance." Crown said, while looking at the reception room next to him, "If I can guard the house for you tonight, in your presence
It is my greatest honor to listen to your teachings and guidance..."
While the housekeeper was staring at the instrument and concentrating on rejecting the idea, Lin Sanjiu quietly took two steps back and came to the door. She had just evolved recently, but her five senses were much more sensitive than ordinary people; through the door disguised as
Through the door on the wall, she could hear slight footsteps outside, like many feet in boots, being careful not to make any sound on the ground.
There was no exit in the study; the only other exit, she was very sure, was the person Krang brought into the mayor's mansion.
"No," the butler still didn't realize the crisis, "I want to rest——"
Crown interrupted him. "Half an hour ago, our monitoring system discovered that outsiders entered the town government. I don't know who they are... I have been waiting for your order and am ready to lead the town at any time."
The police came to protect you, but after waiting for half an hour, you are still quiet here, as if nothing happened."
The housekeeper suddenly became speechless.
Lin Sanjiu looked back at him and pressed his hand on the camouflaged wall of the study room. Krong may have long been suspicious of the so-called "seventeenth generation mayor"; tonight Lin Sanjiu and the two sneaked into the mayor's mansion.
After the "seventeenth generation mayor" remained silent, Crown's suspicion must have grown to the point where he was willing to take the risk - he was so close to power, all he needed to do was lift the curtain.
There was not much time left for her. The footsteps outside the door and the light clatter of firearms were almost touching the wall of the study.
Lin Sanjiu listened to the movement outside the door and reached out to push open the camouflage wall of the study room - the camouflage wall turned half a circle like before. Sure enough, it immediately aroused several unfamiliar voices on the other side of the corridor: "There's something going on! I'm here!"
there!"
The housekeeper exclaimed in low voice.
Half of the opened wall extended into the corridor, which was equivalent to opening a narrow screen for Lin Sanjiu. She blocked the other side's eyes with the camouflage wall, pressed her back against the wall, and rushed into the corridor quickly.
deep.
Almost as soon as she turned around and turned the corner of the corridor, the half-turned wall was surrounded by people; the housekeeper's angry shouts in the study were cut off by a sudden series of gunfire.
, like a human body falling to the ground, the study also fell back into deathly silence.
A pair of leather boots stepped on the wooden floor, and then the sound of Krone sounded.
"So that's it..."
Lin Sanjiu did not dare to stay. She held her breath, stepped back step by step into the shadow of the mayor's mansion, turned around and ran out towards the underground hall where Yu Yuan was.
On the second week after I moved into my new apartment, I discovered something: there was an underground club right next to my house.
This kind of thing usually only appears in movies, but it does appear right next to my house. It is only open on Friday and Saturday nights. For most of the night, the rumbling electronic music vibrates the wall of my house. Separated by a wall, here
I was wearing glasses and pajamas, drinking chrysanthemum tea and reading a book, while I was drinking, chatting and dancing, and I could hear the hormones in my voice.
