Chapter 321 Family Heir

"You're going to sleep with the guests who were lured to other hotels tonight, right?"

After hearing the Beloved's question, Frye nodded immediately: "Yes, even if the police conduct a preliminary investigation, we still have to confirm the conditions of the guests... including the assessment of their psychological conditions. It is most convenient to fall asleep."

At this point, the matter has basically entered the stage of underground investigation. Frye and the others have already checked the situation in the house and found that there is no trace of extraordinary power. They just need the police to take on the difficult task of "cleaning the house".

When Esther took the rabbit downstairs, she saw Benjamin near the front desk.

He was chatting with Inspector Toller about something. Looking at Inspector Toller's proud expression, he seemed to be very happy to be praised, and from time to time he would burst into unsuppressed self-satisfied laughter.

However, after a few people came over, Inspector Toler immediately saluted the three Frye people: "Mr. Frye."

In front of "ordinary citizens", Frye also raised his hands to his temples and responded with a raised hand: "Inspector Toler, that room can enter the cleaning process, and this colleague of mine will accompany you. .”

Luo Yao took the suitcase from Sijia and nodded to Inspector Toler.

"Ah, okay, okay, this incident is really...fortunately, the other guests were not injured, and their emotions seem to be quite stable."

It's more about fear than stability. For ordinary people, it would be extremely unlucky to encounter a vicious murder while staying in a hotel.

Inspector Toller turned his eyes to Esther and Rabbit next to him: "Are these two guests of the hotel too? So now..."

Frye answered his doubts: "I will be responsible for the arrangements, don't worry."

"Do you mind adding one more person?" Benjamin asked with a smile.

The atmosphere in the venue cooled down slightly, but Esther's sighing voice brought the hesitant Fry back to his senses.

Esther nodded to Benjamin: "Okay, Mr. Jacob, you have to find a new hotel anyway, right?"

Benjamin patted the suitcase next to him happily: "Great, I've been waiting for you to come down. Let's go, we can change to a safer environment to chat slowly."

Rabbit's eyebrows knitted together again. He always felt that this young man's attitude was strange.

Frye and Sika were very stubborn. Even though tonight's investigation mission was far from over, they insisted on sending the three people to the door of another hotel. They watched several people re-register and check in before leaving here.

When they were on the carriage, Rabbit was already sleepy and kept banging his head on Esther's arm.

Now walking up the stairs of the hotel, Rabbit was also yawning frequently, and Esther had to hold his wrist to prevent the boy from falling over and falling asleep on the stairs.

"You siblings seem to have a good relationship, but you don't look alike at all."

Hearing Benjamin's words, Esther raised the corners of her mouth with difficulty, trying her best to keep her smile from being so stiff. She always felt that there was something in this man's words: "He's my cousin. He really doesn't look like him."

"Then is there anything particularly similar about you?" Benjamin carried the box and walked up the stairs leisurely. The rooms of the three of them were all on the fourth floor, so he followed slowly and slowly.

Before Esther could think of something to say, Benjamin continued: "For example, what skills do you have in common? Is it a family tradition?"

Esther's glance back was quite indifferent, and her smile became natural, but even more false: "No, does it mean that Mr. Jacob has some family skills?"

Benjamin helplessly adjusted the frame of the mirror: "I have already said that you can just call me Benjamin. Mr. Jacob is too foreign. And I don't like my last name very much."

Esther heard the sincerity of these words and said nothing more. Although Rabbit was dizzy from sleep, he did not forget to turn back and glare at Benjamin.

Benjamin took advantage of Esther's back to look at the road and rolled his eyes at the rabbit, showing silent disdain.

The more I look at this boy, the more disgusting I am. Sooner or later, I will find an opportunity to parasitize him...

——

Benjamin put the luggage he had stolen from someone back into the room. The police still arranged a hotel that met the decoration standards of the "Lilac Hotel" and provided suites that met the previous requirements of the guests.

He did his best to show off and waited patiently for more than ten minutes before walking to the door of another guest room.

Esther had already coaxed the rabbit to sleep, and she was sitting in the living room, recalling today's situation and the divination images she saw.

When she heard someone knocking on the door cautiously, Esther knew who it was. She did not forget the look in the eyes of "Mr. Jacob" that repeatedly hinted at her to talk privately.

Esther sighed, stood up and opened the door, allowing the young man wearing round glasses to enter the house.

Benjamin was very leisurely. He walked directly to the guest sofa in the room, pulled two soft cushions in front of him, and then leaned on it rudely.

Esther sat down in another easy chair, face to face with Benjamin.

Benjamin's attitude was too casual, and he did not regard himself as an outsider at all: "Well, Miss Hamel, introduce yourself solemnly. Benjamin Jacob, one of the branches of the Jacob family, yes, that's what you think That family, a bunch of 'stealers' - I have to remind you, it's written all over your face."

Esther felt a little more at ease when she saw the other party being so straightforward: "That's because you are really suspicious, Mr. Benjamin."

When the corners of Benjamin's mouth turn up, his bookish appearance will appear even more cunning: "At least you no longer emphasize 'Mr. Jacob'. I think being honest is a good start for both of us."

"Are you also an extraordinary person?"

"Yes, I am also a 'thief'."

Esther was silent for two seconds and then asked: "Did you do it through speculation? Or by other means?"

Benjamin thought for a long time. He put his arm on the cushion behind him and occupied the entire couch: "Guess."

Lies, Esther muttered in her heart, but her expression was very gentle: "So what exactly do you want to talk to me about?"

"There's just something I want to confirm," Benjamin rolled his eyes hesitantly. "Actually, there's no particularly important reason."

Esther stared at Benjamin quietly for a moment, carefully observing his expression:

"I thought that 'thieves' would be more cautious when facing peers, because we have some special 'internal threats', at least I am quite worried. And you seem... like a special case."

Benjamin immediately showed a bitter smile: "My ancestors, I can see it. Miss Hamel, you are doubting my identity. Do you want to doubt which Amon I am?"

"Are you?" Esther looked at Benjamin curiously, waiting for his answer attentively. There was also a "thief" across from him. She had to use perception as much as possible to verify the emotions in the other person's words.

As a "scammer", Sequence 8 of "The Thief" has basically shattered the cornerstone of trust between people. Although Esther dismissed Barnabas's statement, she had to admit that facing other "Thieves" "When you think about it, it's best to be more thoughtful.

The expression on Benjamin's face was very sincere, and the helplessness in his eyes didn't look like a fake:

"I really hate those people of the Ammon family. In fact, the ancestors of the Jacob family suddenly disappeared at that time, and many people became suspicious, but...

"Since we all hate those Amon, at least in this matter, we are natural allies. This is the same for every 'thief', isn't it?"

Benjamin's words are all true, and he does not have any "deception" or false emotions, including when talking about the subjective emotion of "hate".

Esther could confirm the authenticity of this matter. She traced circles on the armrests of the easy chair with her fingers, staring intently into those lake-green eyes: "Mr. Benjamin, you have also seen other 'thefts'. By'."

Benjamin's smile softened: "I originally thought, Hamel, that you were also a descendant of a certain branch of the family, maybe one of my cousins. But now it seems that you are a completely wild 'thief' , and such a high sequence is really rare.”

Esther's eyes wandered for a moment: "I'm not a professional, so I'm really sorry. We are not related!"

When Benjamin heard Esther's contradictory tone, he adjusted his smile and became more serious: "Sorry, I just wanted to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere, because I see you are a little nervous. In fact, as a member of the Jacob family, I Descendants also host special gatherings among 'thieves', you might be interested?"

Esther raised her head calmly and looked at the other party with a slightly haughty look: "I have nothing to hide from you. For a person like me, such a gathering does not seem to be of much benefit."

She would not tell the other party that she knew about the "Hermits of Destiny", let alone that she knew the time and place.

There was no need, Esther didn't know Benjamin well, and the other party's open expression of kindness would only make her more worried, wondering if there was any conspiracy behind it.

"Lies don't mean much to us, and you may not be completely a wild extraordinary person." Benjamin glanced at the room where the boy slept, "You are a special member among the hounds in the night - ahem, among them. , isn’t it?”

That ugly name made Esther frown subconsciously, but she remembered Barnabas' disgust for "thieves." Those "parasites" who hide among the crowd will not be treated friendly by the Orthodox Church, and it is normal for them to hate each other.

But Esther still felt a little dissatisfied: "Yeah, what do you think?"

"No, no, I'm not dissatisfied with this. That's why I hope you can come to the meeting." Benjamin's words were very sincere. At least it sounded like Esther didn't notice anything unusual.

Seeing Esther's expression of thoughtfulness, Benjamin had no choice but to speak again: "If it doesn't work out, just think that I'm looking for someone to accompany me, just like a casual invitation to a dance at a nobles' banquet."

Esther's eyes became even more indifferent, with a faint hint of disgust: "Then I will only reject you more firmly."

"Why?"

Esther smiled brightly: "Because I can't dance."
