"I'm sorry for the late night visit, but I do have something important to tell you."

In the corner of the hall, there was only a dim candle lit up. Thomas pulled the brim of the hat and lowered his voice:

"I got a temporary tip, and the back of the head sneak attacker may attack a Ron Warlock who is responsible for purchasing on the Second Round Island tonight!"

"This is a great opportunity for us to seize him."

There was a hint of excitement in his tone. If Xu Nan hadn't seen his true emotions through the Super Spirit Vision, he might have been deceived by his slightly improved acting skills.

"Is that so? Then why are you still standing there?"

Xu Nan asked with a smile.

Thomas was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "What do you mean?"

Xu Nan pretended to be confused and said, "Isn't it the responsibility of your law enforcement team to capture the prisoners?"

"I'm just a traveler. Although I'm very interested, I can't interfere directly, right?"

Thomas was silent for a while and said relievedly:

"It turns out you are concerned about this issue."

"Actually, there are solutions. As you know, I am now doing things alone and lacking a partner. It happened that the law enforcement team was short of staff recently. I can temporarily apply for a [Synergy] certificate for you. In this way, it is reasonable for you to intervene in this matter."

"To be honest, although I got this tip, I always feel that the news came too easily. I don't trust the informant very much; of course, I'm not afraid, I just hope to do things more beautifully..."

Xu Nan suddenly realized: "Then what you mean is, I hope I will be your assistant?"

Thomas nodded:

“If you want.”

Xu Nan patted his chest: "Of course!"

But before Thomas' expression turned into a standard smile, he quickly added:

"Then how much are you going to spend?"

"A friendly reminder, my value is not cheap."

Thomas looked confused. Didn’t you say you were very interested in this case? Now that you have the opportunity to intervene, you still have to collect my money?

He was a little puzzled, but he quickly laughed and said, "Of course it's not free to help."

"Every [synergy], the law enforcement team will provide after-subsidies according to standard terms..."

Xu Nan blinked: "I never believe in the after-effect reward."

Thomas's face became a little stiff.

But then I thought about it, Ron's greed for money has always been one of the important reasons for their infamousness; although Xu Nan's move contrasts with the previous bribery, it is not completely unreasonable.

Bribery...yes!

Looking at Xu Nan's smile-like expression, Thomas suddenly realized and cursed himself in his heart. He was very quick at hand, and took out the metal box before pretending to be a little painful:

"Well... Since you don't want to believe in the subsidies at the time, then this local specialty will be kept in your hands as collateral."

His tone sounded somewhat reluctant.

But the mood was as steady as ever.

"It turns out that I'm still acting." Xu Nan took back his fine gold from Thomas with satisfaction, and immediately became extremely cooperative:

"Let's go! It's a matter of 100,000 yuan to arrest the prisoners. Mr. Thomas, we should not delay it!"

Thomas looked depressed.

But he asked: "Where is that lady before? The one who has been with you?"

Xu Nan waved her hand: "She went to play somewhere else. It's okay, don't worry about her."

Since he decided to use himself as bait to lure Thomas into the bait, Xu Nan naturally would not let Xie Yutong take risks; in the afternoon, he used the communication channel of Paradise Lost to call her out, and then sent it to Roger's Elemental Tower, asking Roger to arrange a part-time job for her.

In the next few days, Xie Yutong, who is in the Elemental Tower, should be without danger.

Thomas nodded thoughtfully, and did not dare to ask any more, so he took Xu Nan away from the Lettuce Hotel.

puff.

After the two left, a gust of wind blew leisurely through the hotel, blowing out the last candle.

...

The Second Ring Road is a corner of the bustling neighborhood in the west.

In an alley opposite the ivory tavern, two figures hidden in the dark are quietly waiting.

Of course it was Xu Nan and Thomas.

Along the way, Thomas gave Xu Nan a list of suspects, with three people on the list. All three of them may have participated in the imitation of the sneak attacker on the back of the head.

According to Thomas, it will be much easier to catch the imitator and follow the clues to find the real murderer.

He originally wanted to follow this list to conduct an in-depth investigation, but he received a piece of information from an informant and was told that someone was going to do something tonight.

The target is Ron's warlock who just arrived at the Second Ring Road today. The warlock is currently talking to others in the ivory tavern. Thomas has done exploration in advance, and the surrounding area is actually quite bright, and only this alley may be a more suitable place to start.

The premise is that the warlock will walk through this alley. If the murderer can predict this in advance, there will be many things worth pondering.

"Anyway, I'm just waiting for a while. If this line is fake, I will immediately investigate the three people on the list."

This is Thomas's original words.

Xu Nan agreed readily on the surface, but she began to complain wildly in her heart.

It was just to cooperate with Thomas that he had to act, which was subtle. Both of them were acting, but they didn't know who could figure out who.

Although Xu Nan was confident, he also found an opportunity to contact Akai with Kuaixin.

Akai's reply was very short: act according to the opportunity.

This made Xu Nan very satisfied. What he feared most was what he found. As a result, because this was Stephen San, he was fooled by Akai in various names. Now that Akai said so, he obviously gave himself the greatest permission to deal with it.

He hid quietly in the alley, observing Thomas silently.

To be fair, his acting skills are impeccable. Along the way, Xu Nan occasionally looked for a few tentative topics, and he perfectly responded to the past. For a moment, Xu Nan wondered if he had reasoned wrongly.

At this moment, Thomas suddenly lowered his voice and reminded:

"Here you come."

Sure enough, a man of medium figure suddenly came out of the tavern. He wore a green hood, a green coat, and even his belt was very grass-green - this dress style was obviously out of place with Stephen San.

It was obviously Ron Warlock from Paradise Lost.

"Will he go through this box?"

Xu Nan was a little curious.

At the same time, he was observing the surroundings that this alley was a shortcut to the street next to the ivory tavern. Occasionally, a few drunks passed by, and most people seemed to dislike this place, and few people passed by.

Not far away, there was a drunken drunk man lying in the corner muttering.

"If someone really wanted to attack him, who would that person be?"

Xu Nan observed for a long time but did not determine the location of the suspect.

Fortunately, he and Thomas maintained a good position and the two could take care of each other. As for the possibility that Thomas himself is a sneak attacker on the back of his head, Xu Nan has not considered it, but it was too imaginative and was eventually ruled out by Xu Nan.

The sorcerer stood at the entrance of the tavern for a while, as if waiting for someone. Not long after, a short man did have a brief conversation with him; after the short man left, the sorcerer quickly stepped up. He looked at the sides and confirmed that no one was paying attention to him, and then walked into the alley with great strides!

Xu Nan silently paid attention to him and the surrounding situation.

Thomas was even more ready, at least it seemed like that.

The sorcerer's pace was very fast, because in the darkness, Xu Nan couldn't see his face clearly, but at this time, he suddenly felt that this person looked familiar.

But before he could recognize the other party's identity, a trace of abnormal aura finally appeared in the dark alley.

It's that homeless man!

He was just pretending to be drunk, but that was just his disguise. Because he focused on others, Xu Nan actually subconsciously ignored the homeless man.

He didn't even use the super-spiritual vision to look at the homeless man.

"This person has a big problem! He must have a spell like [Subconscious Invisibility Technique]!"

At that moment, Xu Nan suddenly realized.

But soon he thought of another question. The guy who can use the subconscious invisibility technique must be the boss of the alchemist. Why would such a person sneak attack Ron's warlock?

It's time to say it soon.

Before Xu Nan could react, the sharp edge of the homeless man's hand had flashed by. It was a huge mace!

"I'll go! Is that so fierce?"

Xu Nan was shocked.

But he was not panicked because Thomas had already taken action. The member of the law enforcement team showed extremely high qualities. A long-established [Weapon Crushing Technique] came first, and directly turned the mace into powder.

The warlock also reacted and turned around quickly, but he turned around and saw only a pile of flying powder and a homeless man imprisoned by spells!
