Chapter 44 Lucky Coins
As the venue for the press conference, the police station in Enqi Town is brightly lit tonight, and every window of the two-story building shines brightly.
Reporters from several nearby towns had 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. Under the arrangement of Chief Kaosi, he came to the 'lounge' from another passage without disturbing the reporters.
The lounge is Chief Kaosi's office. It is located on the first floor. It is simply decorated, but has a fireplace and is decorated with a deer head.
Looking out the window, you can also see the Disi Bay in the distance, but at night you can't see anything except a lighthouse with lights not far from the coast.
"This place has been arranged according to our ideas." Lewis, who raised his hand to adjust his black-rimmed glasses, pointed to the two windows in the house. "Capture nets have been installed on the inside of the windows, and according to your suggestion, the traps were mixed in.
The iron wire makes them stronger and less likely to break free."
Standing by the door and leaning against the wall, the red-haired girl Martha took out a small iron box, took out a candy and threw it into her mouth: "Similar traps are also installed in the chimney, and there are also traps on the ceiling above.
A mechanism, as long as you pull the rope, an iron cage will fall from the top."
She looked at a pull cord by the door.
Jeffrey, who unbuttoned his collar and had a pale complexion, said: "Anyway, as long as the prisoner shows up, he will definitely not be able to escape."
Xifa said sincerely: "I hope this can end tonight."
This way I can leave for Tingen as soon as possible to hug my thighs.
Originally, according to Lewis's plan, at this time, Xifa stayed in the lounge to play the role of 'bait', while they would lie in wait for the opportunity to come.
On this basis, Xifa put forward suggestions for setting up traps to increase the success rate of this operation as much as possible. Of course, he only provided an idea, and the actual operation was completed by Lewis and the others.
Although these traps now seem to Xifa to be few and simple, considering the limited time, he can't ask for anything more.
Lewis pointed at 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 him for a certain period of time. And this time is enough for us to arrive."
In order to create security loopholes and give opponents a chance to sneak in, Lewis and his men would deliberately leave and disperse around the police station.
Xifa naturally had no objection to Lewis's arrangement. After watching several police officers leave, he found a seat to sit down while Warren took out a book of poetry and read it.
Outside the office, Martha stepped forward and patted Lewis on the shoulder: "Captain, have you forgotten something?"
Lewis raised his eyebrows habitually, which made the lines on his forehead more profound and obvious: "What did I forget?"
Jeffrey carefully hid his short stick engraved with a curse: "The coin, the sealed object Warren brought, can be taken out now, Captain."
Lewis suddenly said: "I am sure I forgot. 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 whether it is due to the light or the patterns themselves. In short, the patterns on this gold coin will always change slightly.
"3-0526, Lucky Gold Coin." Lewis said in a whisper-like tone, "It corresponds to the lucky person in Monster Path Sequence 7, and can store a certain amount of lucky value. This effect starts to work on its own after leaving the seal." (
Note 1)
"It is said that the more complex the patterns on the surface of gold coins, the higher the luck value. Users can inject their own spirituality and let the luck stored in gold coins affect themselves. Is this true, captain?" Martha looked at the gold coins in the glass box curiously.
, and found that although its pattern was changing, it did not decrease or increase.
Lewis nodded slightly: "But it has certain dangers. After using up the luck transferred by the gold coins, the user will start to become unlucky. For example, falling on the ground, choking on drinking water, etc."
"I have read information that someone once used it and had bad luck. As a result, the gun went off and he lost his life."
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 they cannot carry weapons or anything hard with them.
and sharp tools.”
Lewis carefully opened the seal, opened the glass box, reached out and fished 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 uneasily: "Just remember to remind me to accept the quarantine when the time comes. I'm afraid I will forget it again."
After receiving responses from the two colleagues, the three of them separated. Not long after, a police sergeant led a girl to the director's office and knocked on the door.
In the office, Xifa raised her head, and Warren, who had slightly curly brown hair and a shy expression, closed the poetry book and stood up to open the door.
The police sergeant outside the door coughed dryly: "Please tell Mr. Xifa that there is a lady named Rachel who wants to see him."
Warren turned back and looked at Xifa, waiting for his reply.
Rachel?
My former maid? Why is she here?
Xifa cleared her throat and gently nodded: "Invite her in."
Then the door opened completely, and a girl walked in. She had a smooth forehead, long black hair, big eyes, and long and curly eyelashes.
Although her clothes are ordinary, her beauty cannot be concealed. She is a pretty beauty.
Xifa also noticed that her belly was bulging and she looked like she was three or four months pregnant.
Xifa panicked immediately.
The child in her belly won't be the original owner's, right? I don't want to take this deal.
"Master Xifa, you are indeed back." Rachel, the former maid, said in a sweet and cheerful voice, with a little excitement in her tone.
Xifa didn't know how to respond for a moment, 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 very worried about you."
Holding her slightly swollen belly, Rachel sat on a chair brought over by Warren and said with a sincere expression: "In the past two days, I heard that not only did you come back, Master, but you were also involved in a horrific murder. I wanted to come and see you."
meet you."
"In addition to worrying about you, young master, I also want to thank you in person!"
Thank you? Thank you for what?
Thank you for making your belly bigger? Bah, bah, that was done by Xifa. What does it have to do with me, Li Zexi!
