Chapter 20: Deception

As soon as Su Bai walked in, a very young waitress came up to him. She looked Su Bai up and down, and asked reluctantly based on the principle that customers are God.

"What do you need, sir?"

"I'll take a look." Su Bai replied a little uncomfortable for a while. Under normal circumstances, he was the one who tried to please others, and it was really awkward to do the opposite.

"Okay, then ask me if you need anything." After the young waitress finished speaking, she quietly followed behind Su Bai and watched. In fact, she herself did not have much hope for Su Bai. First, the clothes on his body were really too bad, and the smell was very strong. It was obvious at a glance that he was a person of the lowest class. How could he afford high-end books? And the reason why she followed him all the time was to prevent Su Bai from stealing things.

Su Bai nodded, walked in front of the metal cabinet, and looked at the rows of metal books (all the books in this world are made of metal stamping, which requires a high level of craftsmanship, so the price is not cheap. Of course, if they are paper books, they are out of print!),

Su Bai walked very slowly, looking at each row. In fact, Su Bai can easily understand all the texts, but he just doesn't understand what these books are, such as what is philosophy? What is finance?

Su Bai kept scratching his head and felt it was very tricky.

The waitress behind him was almost vomiting blood. Seeing this guy's confused expression, he probably didn't even know the words, but pretended to know them, and he was so slow that he didn't know when he would finish. She couldn't urge him. If he was complained, it would be terrible. You know how precious a job is now.

Su Bai suddenly stopped and looked at the pile of books in front of him.

I saw that the cabinet in front of me was filled with very thick encyclopedias such as electrical and mechanical.

Su Bai took out one by one and started to choose.

The waitress following behind was dumbfounded. Is this guy serious? You know, these books are the most difficult to understand, and no one comes to buy them all year round.

Soon Su Bai selected seven books in one breath.

"That's all. How much?" Su Bai asked the waitress who was a little dazed.

Hearing Su Bai's words, the waitress came back to her senses.

"Sir, are you sure you want these?"

"Yes." Su Bai replied affirmatively. There is a saying that is absolutely true, there is a return only if there is investment.

"These require a total of 103 dragon coins, and you can get a discount, which is about 100 dragon coins." The waitress replied in disbelief.

"Here." Su Bai took out the money neatly and took out a 100-denomination dragon coin from it and handed it to the waitress.

Seeing the dragon coin in Su Bai's hand, the waitress's eyes suddenly lit up. She was so impressed that she said enthusiastically.

"Sir, you really have a good eye."

"Thank you." Su Bai paid the money and prepared to leave with the book.

"Wait, sir." The waitress hurriedly called Su Bai who was about to leave.

Su Bai stopped and looked at the waitress in confusion.

"Is there anything?"

"I see that you have an extraordinary temperament (against your will) and a very unique taste. I want to recommend you a book, which is the treasure of our store. It must be very useful to you. And it happens that today is the centenary event of our store, and there are discounts beyond imagination."

"What book? And discounts?" Su Bai was also aroused a little interest.

The waitress took out a super thick metal book from the innermost. On the gold-plated metal cover, four words were written in a flamboyant style: Four Palaces Complete Book!

"Four Palaces Complete Book? What is this?" Su Bai asked in confusion.

"This is the treasure of our store, the last one, and every customer who buys it will use it as a family heirloom! Today is the centenary celebration of the store, and there is a 10% discount!"

"10% discount?" Su Bai was also a little confused.

"That's right, it's 10% off, you won't lose anything, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied with this book!" The waitress said with a smile. She thought to herself that it was rare to meet such a rich man, who was both rich and unsophisticated, and was the most suitable person to sell.

"How much is this?" Su Bai asked curiously.

"150 Dragon Coins!" The waitress replied with a smile.

Hearing the price, Su Bai stumbled and almost fell, and the waitress hurried to help Su Bai.

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay! It's okay! This book is too expensive!" Su Bai's mouth twitched.

"It's not expensive! It's not expensive. This book is 10% off, and it's the last collector's edition. You'll make a profit if you buy it!"

...

After a while, Su Bai walked out of the store in a trance with a pile of books in his arms! The youthful and energetic waitress stood at the door with a smile on her face, waving to Su Bai who was leaving! Today's turnover is off the charts! ! !

District D6, the temporary station area of ​​the Dragon Fang Legion.

Han Qi walked into the camp, and the guarding soldiers saluted Han Qi when they saw him!

Han Qi walked into the camp, and a steady-looking male officer in his forties came up to him and said politely.

"Captain Han Qi, no, it should be Major Han Qi (just promoted), you are here."

"Lieutenant Sun Lu, no need to be polite. And I'm not a major yet, I'm just nominated."

"You will be a major sooner or later after you finish your training. There's no difference." Sun Lu replied with a smile.

"Let's not talk about this. How is the thing I asked you to do?" Han Qi asked straight to the point.

After listening to Han Qi's words, Sun Lu immediately put away his smile and said seriously: "Lord Han Qi, based on the information you provided, we conducted a detailed investigation and searched within a radius of three kilometers leading to the central street of D5. We did find the corresponding lost weapon, the Cuckoo CR-03 light sniper, and it was abandoned voluntarily because there were no bullets in the gun."

"So, do you know who attacked the Type III alien, Erliqui?" Han Qi asked with a slight expression. The reason why she came to the D6 area was to find someone who saved her. Han Qi never liked to owe others.

"I'm afraid you will be disappointed with this." Sun Lu replied regretfully.

"Since we have found weapons abandoned nearby, we should be able to find the corresponding owner in general. Every weapon is registered, unless it is a black gun." Han Qi looked at Sun Lu.

"This is not a black gun. The original owner of this gun was Tang Wen, a member of the third squadron of the 12th Battalion, the 7th Squadron, the 3rd Squadron of the 3rd Defense Force of Longcheng. However, Tang Wen and the entire squad died in this battle, and the location of the body is too far away from the area where you are fighting, so the possibility of it being him is very low. It is more likely that someone passing by took the gun."

"What about the fingerprints on the gun?" Han Qi hit the nail on the head. Fingerprints can't deceive people.

"There are indeed different fingerprints. We took them for matching, but we couldn't find any useful information. In addition, the area where the incident occurred was severely damaged, and the monitoring equipment failed. We didn't find any valuable clues, which means the clues are broken." Sun Lu replied apologetically.

After listening to Sun Lu's words, Han Qi frowned slightly. It was beyond her original expectation. She originally thought that she would find the person who saved her smoothly.

"Is there no other way?"

"There is no good way at the moment. I have also asked the team members who were fighting nearby at the time. No one saw anyone fighting with this gun. In addition, the fingerprints on this gun are more or less damaged (Su Bai's hands are dirty to a certain extent, and some parts of the fingerprints are covered), so the probability of finding it is basically not high." Sun Lu analyzed seriously

"I know, thank you for your hard work." Han Qi nodded a little disappointedly.
