Chapter 44 Lucky Coin
As the venue for the press conference, the police station in Enqi Town is brightly lit tonight, and every window in the two-story building is shining brightly.
Reporters from several nearby towns have already arrived, and Director Kaosi prepared drinks and cakes in the lobby on the first floor to greet these reporters.
Xifa arrived at the police station in a carriage, and under the arrangement of Chief Kaosi, he came to the 'lounge' from another passage without disturbing the reporters.
The lounge is Director Kaosi's office. It is located on the first floor and is simply furnished, but it has a fireplace and is decorated with a deer head.
Looking out of the window, you can also see the Dissi Bay in the distance, but you can't see anything at night, you can only see a lighthouse not far from the coast.
"It's already been arranged here, according to our idea." Lewis, who raised his black-rimmed glasses, pointed to the two windows in the room, "The inside of the window has already installed a catch net, and according to your proposal, mixed in Iron wires to make them stronger and not easy to break free."
Standing by the door, Martha, the red-haired lady leaning against the wall, took out a small iron box, took out a candy from it and threw it into her mouth: "A similar trap is installed in the chimney, and there is a trap set on the ceiling above. A mechanism, you only need to pull this rope, and an iron cage will fall from it.”
She looked over to a pull cord by the door.
Unbuttoning his collar, the pale-skinned Jeffrey said, "Anyway, as long as the prisoner shows up, he won't be able to escape."
Xifa said sincerely: "I hope this can end tonight."
That way I can head off to Tingen for a lap hug as soon as possible.
Originally, according to Lewis and the others' plan, at this time, Xifa stayed in the lounge to play the role of "bait", and they would lie in ambush around, waiting for the opportunity to come.
On this basis, Xifa put forward a suggestion to set up traps to increase the success rate of this operation as much as possible. Of course, he only provided the idea, and the actual operation was done by Lewis and others.
Although these few traps seem to Xifa to be less and cruder now, considering the limited time, he can't ask for anything more.
Lewis pointed to the profiler Warren and said: "He will stay here with you, don't worry, Warren also has the ability to fight."
"If the prisoner shows up, even if the trap doesn't work, he can keep the other party for a certain period of time. And this period of time is enough for us to arrive."
In order to create security loopholes and give opponents a chance to sneak in, Lewis and the others will deliberately leave and disperse around the police station.
Naturally, Sifer had no objection to Lewis' arrangement. After watching the police officers leave, he found a seat and sat down, while Warren took out a book of poetry and read it.
Outside the office, Martha took a few steps forward and patted Lewis on the shoulder: "Captain, did you forget something?"
Lewis raised his eyebrows habitually, which made the lines on his forehead more obvious: "What did I forget?"
Jeffrey carefully hid his short stick engraved with the spell: "The coin, the sealed item that Warren brought, you can take it out now, Captain."
Lewis suddenly said: "I'm sure I forgot, but fortunately I asked you to help pay attention and remind you in time."
He took out a sealed glass box, which was filled with pure water, and a golden gold coin lay at the bottom of the box.
There are some patterns on the surface of the gold coin. I don't know if it's because of the light or the patterns themselves. In short, the patterns on this gold coin will always change slightly.
"3-0526, lucky gold coin." Lewis murmured, "It corresponds to the lucky person of Monster Path Sequence 7, and can store a certain amount of lucky value. This effect starts to work by itself after leaving the seal." ( Note 1)
"It is said that the more complicated the pattern on the surface of the gold coin, the higher the luck value. Users can inject their own spirituality and allow the luck stored in the gold coin to affect themselves. Is this true, captain?" Martha looked curiously at the gold coin in the glass box , found that although its pattern is changing, it has neither decreased nor increased.
Lewis nodded slightly: "But it has certain dangers. After the luck transferred by the gold coins is used up, the user will start to become unlucky. For example, wrestling on the flat ground, choking on drinking water, etc."
"I've read the information. Some people used it and got bad luck. As a result, they misfired and lost their lives."
The muscles on Jeffrey's face twitched slightly: "No wonder it is stipulated that anyone who uses this coin must be isolated in a room without any sharp objects for at least 24 hours. and sharp tools."
Lewis carefully lifted the seal, opened the glass box, reached out to fish out the coin, wiped it clean and put it in his pocket.
"The opponent is a guy who can communicate with the evil god. This coin will make it easier for us to capture him. As for the negative effects of 3-0526, it is completely worth bearing."
The inspector said again worriedly: "Just remember to remind me to accept the quarantine when the time comes. I'm afraid I'll forget it again."
After getting responses from two colleagues, the three separated. Not long after, a sheriff led a girl to the chief's office and knocked on the door.
In the office, Sifa raised his head, and Warren, who had slightly curly brown hair and looked shy, closed his poetry collection, got up and opened the door.
The sheriff outside the door coughed dryly: "Please tell Mr. Xifa that a lady named Rachel wants to see him."
Warren looked back at Sifer, waiting for his reply.
Rachel?
My former maid? Why is she here?
Xifa cleared his throat and nodded gently: "Please come in."
So the door opened wide, and a girl walked in. She has a smooth forehead, long black hair, big eyes with long and curly eyelashes.
Although she was dressed in ordinary clothes, she could hardly hide her beauty. She was quite a beautiful woman.
Sifa also noticed that her belly was protruding, and she looked like she was three or four months pregnant.
Sifa panicked.
The child in her belly wouldn't belong to the original owner, would it? I don't want to take this disk.
"Master Xifa, you are back as expected." The former maid Rachel said in a sweet and cheerful voice, with a little excitement in her tone.
For a moment, Xifa didn't know how to respond, so he could only say 'hmm' expressionlessly, and said flatly: "What are you doing here? Oh, sit down quickly, you can't stand for a long time now."
"I'm worried about you."
Holding her slightly protruding belly, Rachel sat on a chair brought by Warren, and said with a sincere expression: "I heard that you are not only back, master, but also involved in a horrible murder, I just want to see you." meet you."
"In addition to worrying about you, young master, I also want to thank you face to face!"
thank? thank you
Thank you for making your belly bigger? Pooh, that's what Xifa did, what does it have to do with me, Li Zexi!
