Boss? Lumian was shocked when he heard this.
He didn't expect that this matter would be with the boss Gardner. Martin is linked, but that seems to explain certain issues:
Why did the smuggling caravan "evaporate" out of thin air on a hidden route that had been used many times?
Why is "Mouse" Crystal so anxious to ask for help from himself and others? If he simply lost a batch of goods, he would definitely confirm it repeatedly, and wait for a while before he would be willing to expose his weakness and mistakes to his "colleagues" who might be staring at his position.
In an instant, Lumian thought of more:
"Boss Gardner. Martin suspected that the Hunter pathway was in sequence 6 or sequence 5......
"Franka and I, who also entered that special mirror world, one is a "hunter" and the other is a "witch", in the same and adjacent ways......
"Mr. K approached Gardner. Martin, gain his trust......
"As a member of the secret organization 'Curly Baboon Research Society', Franka's own order is not low, and she is willing to be Gardner. Martin, the mistress of a gang boss......
"The boss of the Savoyard Party really has a lot of secrets, or is he involved in a big event......"
Is the thing the boss asked Crystal to bring into Trier related to the "Hunter" or "Witch" path? Why risk walking underground and being discovered by tax collectors? Why doesn't the boss go out of the city to get it himself and let Christo send a smuggler to lead the way? It's safer and more hidden...... He knew that this thing might bring accidents and didn't want to take risks? Lumian's gaze moved from "Mouse" Crystal to Franka's face.
The "witch" didn't seem to expect such an answer, and was also a little stunned and surprised, followed by a little excitement and joy.
She stared at "Mouse" Crystal and sneered:
"You want to lie to me? How come I didn't know Gardner asked you to get something into Trier?
"Where's that thing?"
Excitement...... Gratification...... Lumian is increasingly sure that Franca will join the Savoie party, close to Gardner. Martin's purpose is not simple.
Christophe laughed:
"It comes in an iron box, and I have already delivered it to Spring Street.
"The boss probably hasn't had time to tell you yet."
As a senior member of the Sava Party, he knew that "Red Boots" Franca was powerful and that it would be easy to kill herself who was unprepared and had no helpers, and she was also proficient in divination and could tell lies.
"You'd better not lie to me!" Franka retracted her body, took out her makeup mirror, and started divining in front of "Mouse" Christo.
Lumian stood up very cooperatively, walked over to Crystal, and reached out to press his shoulder.
After Franka confirmed that what Crystal said was true, Lumian smiled and patted the "mouse":
"If something like this happens, remember to remind me that there is a problem with the goods and that we need to guard against possible accidents.
"Otherwise, I will cut you into pieces of meat and feed them to your dear little ones."
He heard Louis mention that "Mouse" Christo has many animals, and his favorite is dogs.
The threatened Christo felt a burst of anger in his heart:
Franka is the boss's mistress, and her own strength is stronger than mine, I can accept her to me like this, why should you be a newcomer to TMD?
Thinking of the "evil wolf" Maggot and "Hammer" Aite who were no weaker than himself, Crystal wilted again, smiled and said:
"This time it was the boss who asked me to keep it a secret."
"You, you have to at least hint to us!" Franka put away the makeup box and cursed viciously.
Christopher smiled:
"Okay, okay."
He was not angry at all because he was insulted, in his opinion, the dog is a family member, a close relative, how can it be considered an insult?
He often warned his perverts: Whoever touches my wife is equivalent to touching my dog!
Seeing that Franka and Ciel both softened their attitudes, Crystal asked curiously:
"Is that strange world really the same as Elken described?"
Without waiting for Franka to answer, Lumian smiled and patted Crystal on the shoulder again:
"Haven't you figured it out yet? Did your brain be eaten by a dog? We were deceiving you just now!
"We didn't enter any strange world at all, we just thought it was impossible to smuggle so many times before, but this time we were suddenly involved in an extraordinary incident, there must be something wrong with your batch of goods, so we decided to deceive you!"
"......" and "Mouse" Crystal showed an uncontrollable look of annoyance.
Yes, if Franka and Ciel really entered that strange world, they wouldn't be able to come out so quickly!
Elken and the others have been missing for several hours!
Why am I so stupid?
Why were you so fooled?
Christo restrained his emotions, looked at Franka, and smiled flatteringly:
"Don't tell the boss that I told you about the existence of that thing, he will be dissatisfied with me."
Franka glanced at Lumian with a slightly strange expression, and said to "Mouse" Crystal:
"Yes, from now on, you owe me a favor."
"Okay!" Crystal hurriedly agreed.
Saying goodbye to the smuggling boss, Lumian and Franka left the warehouse all the way and turned into the narrow street leading to Market Avenue.
"I just found out today that Crystal is stupid and so easy to deceive." After a long silence, Franka looked at Lumian beside him, as if smiling and sighing as if he didn't smile, "You are very good at deceiving others."
Lumian put on a calm posture:
"In Kordu Village, you should know Kordu Village, right? I have a nickname called 'The King of Mischief'."
Franka, who had seen the wanted notice, was naturally no stranger to Cordu Village, she looked at Lumian with a smile and said:
"Did you deceive me about what you said before?
"Hehe, Jian Na's evaluation of you is not entirely wrong, cunning and treacherous."
"You are my sister's companion, and what I tell you is the truth." Lumian looked magnanimous.
He just didn't tell the whole truth, and even if Franka confirmed it by divination, he couldn't find any signs of lying.
Franka observed his expression and nodded in satisfaction:
"I am also willing to believe in the 'Muggle' brother.
"Hmm...... You don't know about the existence of Gardner's thing, and there are some things that will bring harm if you find out the truth, and I won't ask him."
"Okay." Lumian behaved as well-behaved as he was in front of Aurore.
The two separated in the middle of Market Avenue, one went to the Breeze Ballroom, and the other turned into White Coat Street.
At this time, it was past eight o'clock in the evening, it was already dark, and the gas wall lamps embedded in the edge walls were lit in the ballroom, causing the entire first floor to fall into a yellowish light, and the closer you got to the dance floor, the darker the environment became.
In the greeting of "head", Lumian sat at the bar and asked for a glass of anise vermouth "Parrot" with mint.
This thing was quite exciting, just taking a sip made him feel clear, as if he had been slapped in the face.
Lumian sat for a while, enjoyed Jane's lewd songs for a while, and saw Charlie walking towards the bar with a tray.
"Charles, boss!" After Charlie found that the bartender was looking at him, he decisively changed his name.
Lumian took a sip of the psychedelic green liquid and asked with a smile:
"Do you prefer a ballroom or a hotel speakeasy?"
Charlie glanced at the bartender and the other waiters, and said in a low voice:
"I still prefer hotel bars.
"There, I am the focus of everyone!"
I can feel it...... Lumian laughed and pointed with his chin at the young female singer who was rotating Jenna:
"She is your friend's daughter?"
Charlie once said that he had a friend who owed usury and committed suicide by jumping off a building due to the persecution of Baron Brignel, and his daughter was sent to the Breeze Ballroom to sing.
"Yes." Charlie replied with a somewhat gloomy expression.
The female singer was also dressed very gorgeously, wearing a rather revealing bolero and skirt, she should be about the same age as Jianna, and her appearance was not as good.
According to Lumian's observation, the biggest difference between the two is:
Jane Na's eyes always had brilliance, but this smirk was a fake smile, and her eyes didn't have any bright color.
Charlie opened his mouth, hesitating to ask for something, but finally closed it again.
Lumian drank "Parrot" and listened to the song, not knowing what he was thinking.
Almost 10:30, he stood up, went back upstairs, changed into a linen shirt, an old jacket and brown trousers, and put on a dark blue peaked hat.
This made him look like a homeless man.
Immediately afterwards, Lumian pushed open the window and jumped into the alley behind the ballroom.
He was going to go to the old pigeon cage theater for a walk.
His "prophetic skills" told him that Mr. Eff, the landlord of the Golden Rooster Hotel, would stay at the Old Pigeon Cage Theater this Friday, from 11 to 12 o'clock tonight.
Lumian never thought that he could solve the matter involving the evil god of the "Mother Tree of Desire" on his own, nor did he plan to go head-to-head with those people, hoping that through observation, he would discover more problems and collect useful information.
For him, the most important thing is to use Mr. Eve and others to find Suzanne. In the place where Matisse lived before her death, she got an item that she had carried for a long time, laying the foundation for doing "exorcism" when she was attacked by the evil spirit later.
Although it may not be time to complete the ritual magic at that time, it is better to be prepared than nothing.
After half a circle, Lumian came to the outside of the old pigeon cage theater.
Because it was not yet 11 o'clock, he was not in a hurry to go in, but huddled in the corner outside, looking at the beige six-story apartment where Mr. Eff lived like a real homeless man.
It didn't take long for Lumian to see the landlord.
Mr. Eff came back from the direction of the honest market and entered the apartment wearing a dark formal suit and maroon trousers, wearing an old half-high top hat and holding a black cane.
A few minutes later, the window corresponding to the room he was living in lit up, which was quite dim.
Lumian waited patiently.
Waiting and waiting, he gradually frowned.
It's past 11 o'clock, why hasn't Mr. Eve arrived at the old pigeon cage yet?
The window still glowed yellowish, and figures passed by from time to time.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and Mr. Eff still did not leave the apartment, crossed the market avenue, and entered the old pigeon cage theater.
Lumian couldn't help but muttered to himself silently:
"Could it be that my 'prophecy' went wrong?"
PS: Khan, because I recorded the time of Mr. K's gathering as Monday, so the schedule from the party to Saturday was relatively full, resulting in a little more days, but in fact it has only been a week, that is, the psychotherapy is on the Sunday of the current week.
