Chapter 263 Bait

Nothing was lost, but there was a note.

Lynch said goodbye to Ms. Nightingale with a natural look, and walked along the road towards the direction of Crown Square calmly.

His steps were not hurried, but his mind was turning quickly, and the note stuffed into his pocket kept flashing in his mind.

It seemed inexplicable, but Lynch had guessed the general situation after a little analysis.

Before going out in the morning, he had given little Martha a task to monitor the movements of the Rangers near Charles Square. Now this group of little robbers obviously gave feedback, indicating that the caution mentioned in the note may be related to the Rangers.

The name of Black Skin just verified this conclusion. The uniforms of the Rangers are all black, and it is reasonable to be called Black Skin by the wandering children in the King's District.

So, what should be careful about?

Lynch kept walking, lowered the brim of his hat to cover his face, and observed the surroundings secretly.

This is one of the most prosperous places in Rhine City. People come and go around, vendors are like clouds, and carriages are flowing continuously. It looks calm, just like the past.

Standing on the roadside and lighting his pipe, Lynch took a deep breath and used herbs to calm himself down.

Even if everything was normal, Lynch still believed in his judgment. There must be something wrong.

Because if it was related to the mission, the group of children could report to him when he returned home, at least when he returned to the King District. There was no need to go to the Crown District, which was one of the safest places, to find him. It was too dangerous for them here, and the chance of being beaten was almost 100%.

The only explanation was that when the children were monitoring the Rangers for Lynch, they found that the Rangers had abnormal behavior. These behaviors were related to Lynch, and they were quite urgent. They couldn't even wait until Lynch left the Crown Plaza to notify him.

What's more, the children used this weird method to notify. Hiding meant that they had a target that needed to be concealed, and if they didn't hide, they would be discovered by those people.

However, after looking around several times, he couldn't see a suspicious target, only invisible malice was spreading around.

He lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then slowly tightened his cane with his fingers. Lynch frowned and took another step, blending into the crowd on the street.

The malice was still like a maggot attached to his bones, and it lingered for a long time, making Lynch feel like he was being stared at. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find the source of the peeping feeling. In the end, Lynch simply gave up looking, suddenly turned around, and strode towards the Church of the Night.

The situation was unclear, but the Church of the Night was still credible as a client.

Several churches were not far from each other, and Lynch soon arrived at the Church of the Night. The malice and peeping behind him were still there, but Lynch ignored it, followed the crowd on his own, and walked straight into the Cathedral of the Night.

It was safe here, at least there were not so many people soliciting donations at the door, which made Lynch feel very cordial.

As soon as he entered the range of the holy emblem with a black background and a golden star, the lingering malice immediately dissipated. Lynch's mouth curled up. It was not an illusion just now, and the other party was still a little afraid of the Church of the Night. This also indirectly showed that the two sides were not in the same group. He came to the right place.

Holding the approval document given by Archbishop Trinless, Lynch went directly into the back hall of the church and entered the church's finance office with ease.

It's really strange that the departments that he is most familiar with seem to be the finance office of the forces that have the closest relationship with him.

This must be a coincidence. Even in the mysterious world, there are coincidences occasionally. Yes, that's right.

With the belief that he can't return empty-handed, Lynch successfully reimbursed the five pounds for this month, made up for the task reward he gave to little Martha in the morning, and also killed a lot of time. Feeling that it was almost time, Lynch counted five brand new portraits of Elizabeth while seizing the opportunity and slipped into the archbishop's lounge while no one was paying attention.

Trinless was very busy and often had to host various church activities. He was rarely found in his room, but it was already lunchtime, which was his most important rest time every day. He would definitely stay in the lounge and wait for Lynch to come and disturb him.

Sure enough, when Lynch slipped into the lounge, he saw that the archbishop had just asked the servant to make a pot of tea and was sitting comfortably on the sofa. When he saw Lynch coming in, his hand holding the teacup froze in the air, and then he sighed.

"Sit down, are you in trouble?"

Lynch was not polite and sat directly opposite Trinless and poured himself a cup of black tea. It was said to be a top-grade black tea at one pound per gram. If you were not of high status, you would not even be qualified to buy it. Lynch tasted it carefully and commented that... well, it was quite thirst-quenching.

"Does it have to be troublesome? Can't I just come here to hand in a mission?"

"Sneak in like a thief to hand in a mission?" The archbishop pouted his lips in pain, and moved the teapot to a place where Lynch couldn't easily reach it. "You came in without even notifying everyone, you must want to avoid everyone, fearing that someone would reveal your whereabouts. What, someone is watching you and looking for trouble?"

"Well, I don't know who it is yet, but I guess at least the Rangers and Howard are involved, and it's hard to say whether there are other people involved. As for the reason, you know. You two old foxes are trapping me alone. Such a serious problem, but you actually coaxed a rookie detective to investigate. Don't you feel guilty?"

"Praise the Lord, praise the Holy Spirit, praise the dark night, I have dedicated everything to the Lord, including my conscience, so it doesn't hurt." The archbishop pointed a few stars on his chest, his expression was extremely holy.

"Tsk, you are too lazy to even deny it."

"I don't know anything, so what can I deny? The church has always remained neutral, and everything has nothing to do with me. I just helped Wayne find a suitable candidate. If you were cheated, you should settle the score with him."

I believe you, you are such a bad old man. Lin Qi rolled his eyes and drank the expensive black tea in one gulp.

"Moreover, the mission was originally just for you to investigate. Who knew you could solve the problem smoothly? Since you are willing to influence the situation, we can't dampen your interest. Anyway, the reward has been paid in advance. If you are willing to overfulfill the mission, we Of course I'm happy to accept it, how can you say we cheated you."

Lynch curled his lips, realizing that trying to argue with the old fox was the biggest mistake since time travel. How could these people rationalize things.

"Haha, just kidding. You are someone we can trust. We will not interfere with whatever you want to do. If you can successfully solve the problem in the end, Wayne will also provide you with equal rewards, and you will not let your efforts go in vain."

The Archbishop poured Lynch another cup of black tea and said with a smile:

"I won't ask more about the specific situation. If I ask you, you may not be willing to tell me. In short, what do you need from me to help you this time?"

"If your church doesn't take a stand, it will definitely be self-defeating if you ask you to do anything substantive. I don't have any hope either. My request is very simple. Just find someone to pretend to be me and go out for a walk. As for Here, I need you to provide me with a secret channel so that I can leave here secretly, I mean leave your lounge. "

"It's easy to let you go, but if someone is staring at you, I can't guarantee that you won't be recognized after you leave."

"Oh, that's my problem."

"That's easy. There is a secret passage under the sofa you are sitting on, and the exit of the secret passage leads to the confession room. As long as you pay attention when you go out, you don't happen to meet someone using that room, and you won't be discovered. I will arrange for someone to disguise you now, and you can leave in fifteen minutes. I wish you good luck."

With that said, Trinleth turned around and left the lounge without being polite to Lynch.

So, fifteen minutes later, a beautiful girl wearing a unique long dress and holding a fan to cover her face walked out of the dark church and looked around with a half-smile.

It's not easy for Lynch to spot the peepers in the dark, but what about me? hey-hey.

The girl's eyes were as bright as lightning, and she quickly discovered the pretender sent by Trinleth with help.

And behind him...

Hehe, I caught you.
