Chapter 102 Paid Unlock (Second Update in the Afternoon)
After a peek, although there were a group of gentlemen and ladies dressed in formal clothes around, no young noble lady was found among them.
Lynch realized that Miss Valente was probably disguising herself and peeping again, with unknown intentions.
This was the third time Lynch had sensed this strange object.
The first time was when he met Miss Diana by chance at the City Hall, when the Square Incident had just ended.
The second time was after the fire in the archives room of the Hall of Order, when the carrier turned into an old woman, and then went to meet the mountain people hiding in the abandoned factory.
Combined with its story: May my makeup never fade, Lynch guessed that the effect of this strange object was disguise, and the old woman and Miss Diana were the same person, which just happened to fit the information that the Valente family had a close relationship with the mountain people.
And now she was disguising herself and hiding at the door of the City Hall, and her intention was obviously the same as his intention to lurk in, and they were all preparing to act secretly.
He wanted to spy on Grant's secrets, but what about her? Did she want to cause a fire again?
Thinking in his mind, Lynch covered his face with a newspaper and scanned the faces of the customers within three meters.
There were many people around, not counting those walking around, there were seven people sitting alone.
Four men and three women, scattered around Lynch.
First, exclude the men. According to the knowledge in the play, when disguising, generally, you will not choose an image of the opposite gender. Most stories of gender reversal are nonsense. Because there are many instinctive small movements between men and women that are different, people with a little experience can tell them apart. It is too easy to be exposed, and almost no one does it.
Then focus on the remaining three women, who happen to be young, middle-aged, and old.
The young woman was quickly excluded. The girl was very energetic and skillfully fanned the wind with her hands. The eldest daughter of a noble family should have been educated and instinctively engraved. It is difficult for her to make such a rude action so naturally. Well... exclude.
The remaining two are ladies, dressed and behaved very decently, and there is no flaw. Lynch was a little embarrassed for a while, until his eyes swept across the coffee table of the two.
In front of the elegant middle-aged lady, a folding fan was placed on the table, exquisite and elegant, suitable for all ages.
The first two times he met, he saw the other party holding a folding fan in his hand. Although he couldn't remember the appearance of the folding fan, this element was still very certain. Therefore, when he saw the folding fan again, Lynch focused his attention on the middle-aged lady.
The complex aristocratic costumes that were completely incomprehensible, the delicate makeup that was difficult to distinguish, the lady was the only one at the table, holding a novel in her hand and reading it seriously. Occasionally, she put down the novel when she was tired, picked up the coffee cup and touched her lips, looked up in the direction of the city hall for a few glances, and then lowered her head and immersed herself in the world of the novel.
"Moriarty's Detective Collection" seems to be the most popular detective novel at the moment, and the information obtained from the Count Cat immediately came to mind.
Diana de Valente, the eldest daughter of Count Valente, the first aid nun of the Church of Suffering, and the second-level soul-distracting person of power. Good at drug preparation and first aid, good at art appreciation and violin playing, likes reading, especially likes detective novels.
More and more like.
Lynch asked in his heart: ‘Neighbor, this person is a Soul Forsaken, right?’
[Yes.]
Although low-level Soul Forsaken cannot stimulate inspiration to produce special reactions, Ms. Luna can actually distinguish them. She distinguished them when she first met Officer Natalie.
It seems that it is her, Diana de Valente.
Lynch licked his lips behind the newspaper, thought for a moment and made up his mind, stood up and walked towards the other party.
I wanted to use her as a springboard to understand the movements of the mountain people, and now is a good opportunity.
There is nothing to be afraid of. The other party has an official identity, but so do I. In this era, there is already a city council, and the nobles can no longer decide the life and death of civilians at will. From the perspective of the extraordinary field, although the other party has the support of the mountain old man and the Church of Suffering, I also have the support of the super strong man who is legendary in the circle of high-end people. Judging from the reaction of the old mountain man when they met in the morning, the other party is still afraid.
Therefore, as long as he controls the means, Lynch is not worried that the other party will suddenly turn against him, or use some mysterious means to carry out a fatal attack behind his back like Randall did at the beginning.
Then use the means of the civilized world to solve the problem.
"Good afternoon, ma'am." Lynch took off his cap and bowed with a smile, "Do I have the honor of sitting opposite you?"
The middle-aged lady raised her head from the novel, held her cheek and looked at Lynch, showing a gentle and reserved smile, and her voice was slow and low, giving people a sense of peace:
"Sorry, sir, you didn't."
"What a pity." Lynch's mouth twitched slightly, nodded with a smile, moved the chair opposite the lady to the side, and then sat down with peace of mind, "Then I can only sit next to you, Miss Valente."
The gentle expression remained, but the lady gently put down the detective novel, picked up the folding fan on the table and covered her mouth, and whispered: "How did you recognize it? Mr. Lynch Leviev."
Hiss, this woman is not easy to deal with. Lynch waved to the waiter, ordered a cup of coffee, and then said lightly: "You are challenging the observation and analysis skills that a detective relies on for a living, ma'am."
"Oh? Is there something wrong?" Playing with the folding fan, Miss Valente's eyes were a little more curious.
"Both the dress and behavior are standard aristocratic style, but there are no maids, attendants or butlers around. This is against the rules. No servant dares to leave the mistress at will unless they are thrown away. And throwing away a servant This kind of thing is not surprising for a young aristocratic girl, but if it is a mature and stable middle-aged lady, it will be fundamentally different, and it will involve many troublesome reputation issues. A lady should not consider her own reputation and that of her family, unless the reputation of this lady does not need to be considered, because she does not exist. So in my opinion, you are announcing loudly that there is something wrong with my identity."
Lynch was speaking faster and faster, but Miss Valente seemed to understand. She stopped playing with the folding fan, looked a little surprised, looked at Lynch intently and nodded: "Then what?"
It's easy to handle if you're interested. Lynch immediately fired up and made up a whole set of theories on the spot:
"It would be fine if they were just attendants, but it would be strange not to have bodyguards or guards. There can be other explanations for not having servants, but in a square where a tragedy just happened, there are no bodyguards. This is not willful but right. She is irresponsible and does not conform to the cautious characteristics of a noble. Unless she does not need the protection of ordinary people at all, she is a soul changer. "
"There are not many soul-shifters among the nobles, and you have some very strange smells on your body, which are very similar to the occult materials used to prepare medicines. This reminds me of the characteristics of suffering believers... The subsequent content can only be unlocked after paying a fee. , Miss Valente.”
