Chapter 269 Assistance? Director Chen? That Doesn’t Make Sense!

Looking at the food in front of him, Lao Qi was also dumbfounded. ơɱ

Because he ate too fast, the bread stick that looked like a murder weapon just now had been eaten by him...

Wang Yanxing took the toothpaste stick and the funnel, looked at the food, and then looked at Luo Ji.

"What should we do? Should we eat it or not?"

"No!" Luo Ji shook his head, "Since they also care about this, we just don't want to eat it! Hurry up and make what Su Chen wants. Escape is the most important thing!"

After that, Luo Ji stepped forward and snatched the towel from Su Chen's hand, and began to pour the herbicide into the toothpaste stick with Wang Yanxing.

After the two things were fully mixed together, Su Chen applied these things to the weakest part under the iron door.

Lao Qi asked: "Comrade Su Chen, is it okay to wait for three minutes?"

"Three minutes?!" Luo Ji looked at Lao Qi, "Three minutes to soak instant noodles is about the same... It's good enough if this can be corroded today!"

Su Chen nodded and said: "Let's wait until the evening to see, if it succeeds at night, we will escape at night."

………

On the other side

In the Holmes Detective Agency, Shi Yong and his team were waiting for Holmes to come back.

Holmes told them that he would go to the Kesbu family first to check the situation.

Let everyone wait for him to come back in the office and not act on their own.

Shi Yong checked his watch from time to time, looking a little anxious.

Although Qin Ming was also waiting, he didn't like to waste time. He was looking through Holmes' previous case-solving records and learning some experience from them.

And Fake had fallen asleep on the sofa.

Uesugi Aya looked at Fake on the sofa and fell into deep thought.

What kind of experience would make this boy, who was only a few years older than himself, kill his own brother?

Does he have any difficulties?

How many people did he kill after joining the Sun and Moon Society?

Fake, who was sleeping, frowned, and tiny beads of sweat began to ooze out of his forehead.

Just as Uesugi Aya was observing Fake, a scream startled her.

"No...no!"

Fak woke up with his own scream.

He sat up in shock and looked around, but his empty eyes seemed to be unable to see anything.

"Are you okay?" asked Uesugi Aya.

Fak seemed not to have heard Uesugi Aya's words and sat on the sofa in a daze.

He had just had a nightmare.

He dreamed that his brother put a dagger on his neck.

The dagger was so cold that it seemed to still be on his neck.

He was not unfamiliar with this dream. Whenever he was nervous, he would always have this dream repeatedly.

Such repetition did not make him accustomed to this dream. Every time he had this dream again, he still felt deeply afraid.

That kind of fear went deep into his bones.

"Don't be nervous." Shi Yong looked at Uesugi Aya, "It's a nightmare at first glance."

Although Shi Yong had the same experience, facing this young man who was once a killer of the Sun and Moon Society and killed his own brother, Shi Yong could not sympathize with him at all.

Qin Ming stared at Fak and said, "Maybe he dreamed of his brother."

Fak did not answer, but said to Shi Yong, "Can you give me a cigarette?"

"Minors are not allowed to smoke."

"I'm already eighteen."

Shi Yong handed him a cigarette and lit it.

Just then.

The door of the office was opened.

A stranger came in.

The stranger's eyes fell on Fak at the first time.

"Oh, minors can't smoke..." The stranger said while tearing off the disguise on his face.

It turned out to be Holmes.

This disguise technique is exactly the same as Su Chen's disguise-it can't be seen with the naked eye.

"I'm already eighteen years old." Fak repeated, "Did you find Su Chen?"

"Found it."

Hearing these three words, everyone sat up straight.

"Found it?!" Shi Yong asked, "Did you see them? Are Brother Luo and Officer Wang there too?"

Holmes did not answer directly, but patted the dust off his body with his reporter's hat and sat back in his rocking chair.

"I didn't see them, but it's confirmed that they are being held in the Kesbe family."

Watson stood up and asked, "Mr. Holmes, the Kesbe family has three manors nearby. Which one is it?"

"I've been to all three."

Holmes picked up his pipe, took a puff of smoke, and continued:

"Finally it was confirmed to be the one in the northeast of London.

"I pretended to be a reporter to interview Mr. Vick, of course, I would definitely be rejected.

"But this is the fastest way to observe the three manors up close.

"The first two manors came out to greet me with a gardener and a maid, and there was nothing suspicious about these two people.

"But when I got to the third manor, I found something wrong."

Everyone else listened attentively, including Fake.

Holmes continued:

"At the third manor, the man who came out to open the door pretended to be a gardener, but I saw traces of martial arts practice on his arms. Moreover, after the door was opened, there was no one in the yard, unlike the first two places - there were occasional servants walking around."

Shi Yong frowned slightly and asked tentatively: "Mr. Holmes, could it be just a coincidence?"

"Yes, an empty yard and a gardener who likes fighting constitute a coincidence.

"This is indeed a possibility...

"But what if you add a black hood?"

This sentence shocked everyone present.

At this time, the ashes in the pipe held by Holmes began to scatter.

After tapping his pipe gently, he said:

“After the marks on his arm aroused my suspicion, I started to look at him carefully.

“His hair and beard were messy and regular—as if something had weighed them down and taken them off again.

"It wasn't until the moment he closed the door in a hurry that I saw a black mask exposed around his waist.

"Although it's only a small part, I can be sure that it is the mask."

Watson asked in shock: "Oh! Mr. Holmes, is it the kind of mask we used when we solved the Yali stalking case?"

After saying that, Watson took out two black masks from the cabinet behind him and placed them on the table.

"Yes, Watson, you wore it last time when you pretended to be a stalker. I have to say, you played the role perfectly."

"Mr. Holmes, I took it upon myself to make the decision and take this as a compliment. Since it can be confirmed that it is a hood, it can be roughly confirmed that there is something wrong with this manor..."

Holmes raised his hand, interrupted Watson, and said:

"Not roughly, definitely.

“During the conversation with that person, I had my phone in my hand.

“The cell phone signal is very poor.

"If you take your cell phone into the yard, I think the signal will be cut off."

"Okay!" Shi Yong stood up, "Now that we have determined the location, when will we take action?"

"Don't worry." Holmes glanced at the time, "It's still early, we'll take action later."

Qin Ming nodded and said: "We are not yet sure how many manpower the other party has. It is safer to operate at night."

Uesugi Caritas responded: "We can seek help! Didn't the program team send a notice saying that Director Chen will come here in person?"
