"Welcome, welcome."
"I'm sorry, I really don't have the energy to stand up to greet you, so please take a seat."
The old butler stepped forward and pushed the wheelchair naturally, allowing the withered middle-aged man to look directly at Gu Moli and Hua Qiong. His face and body were the same, and under his sickly paleness, he showed a sense of weakness, like a fire that was about to go out. But even so, how could he say it... ..
It was about to go out.
But it is unusually bright.
"You two? Why don't you take a seat?"
"... .Ah! Yes!"
For the first time, Gu Moli was a little stunned, not by appearance, not by power, nor by money, but by some invisible aura of the other person.
However, the detective's professional instinct still made him feel a little doubtful.
"... Excuse me, may I ask... Mr. Li? Did you know that Hua Qiong would come?"
Please note.
What Li Caijin said just now was "Please take a seat."
At that time, Li Caijin had not turned around yet, nor had he seen the person coming in. Gu Moli and Hua Qiong had not spoken either. So how did Li Caijin know that Hua Qiong was coming too
In response to Gu Moli's question, Li Caijin just smiled slightly.
"I don't know."
"That... .?"
"I guess."
Li Caijin smiled elegantly, and his somewhat turbid eyes swept over Gu Moli's body. It seemed that he had discovered something interesting, and Li Caijin looked even happier.
"Mr. Gu, this suit of yours is from three years ago. To be exact, it is a suit that Zegna released to the public in July of the year before last. It is considered very old at this time."
"Well... .."
Gu Moli was a little embarrassed: "I just don't wear this kind of clothes often..."
"The crease."
"... .Huh?"
"This piece of clothing of yours is very old, but it is not unused. There are creases on it, which means you have used it recently. This should be your work clothes, right? It can give people a professional feeling. It's just that you are short of money, so you have never changed it since you bought it."
Hua Qiong at the side uttered a low cry: "Oh?"
Gu Moli's face darkened.
Li Caijin continued calmly, "I have investigated you, Mr. Gu. You seem ordinary, but you are actually very smart and thoughtful. So you should be able to understand that even with an invitation, there is no guarantee that you can see me right away."
“So you need someone who has that ability.”
"I believe it is this lady?"
"From what I see, you must have waited until the lady next to you came to you, and then deliberately revealed your intention to come see me, so as to arouse the lady's interest and make her come with you. This way it would be easier, and you wouldn't have to beg anyone."
Hua Qiong: “Is that so!?”
Gu Moli: “Tsk!”
"... .Mr. Li."
"Just call me Li Caijin, or you can add Mr.
"...Mr. Li Caijin, your inference is very interesting, but it still cannot explain your guess..."
"Oh, that one."
Li Caijin narrowed his eyes, smiled and said, "I'm just teasing you."
Gu Moli: “???”
"Actually, it's just because the cleaning staff of this room did a great job. She cleaned the French window behind me so brightly that I could see you guys coming in through the reflection in the mirror. By the way, I decided to give that cleaning staff a promotion and a raise after this."
"Varied... .."
"Look?" Li Caijin spread his hands: "Many things are not that complicated, right?"
Well, if it were an ordinary person, Gu Moli would have walked away by now. After all, analyzing other people's every move and psychology in front of others is actually a very offensive thing. But who can blame him for being a rich man? If ordinary people do this, it's considered asking for a beating, but for rich people, it's considered humorous.
So Gu Moli cooperated very well and showed an awkward yet polite smile.
"Boss Li is really amazing."
"But Mr. Li, please explain it to me."
"What's this letter about?"
Gu Moli raised the white envelope in his hand and spoke in a stiff tone.
Li Caijin curled his lips and said, "Are you questioning me?"
"... No, I'm asking you."
"Then I choose not to answer you."
Li Caijin smiled like a mischievous boy and said, "Or you can tell me your guess? I'll tell you if it's right."
"... ..I presume."
Gu Moli had a cold face and continued, "This is a murder notice."
As soon as the words fell.
Behind Gu Moli, Hua Qiong couldn't help but hold her breath, while behind Li Caijin, the old butler seemed to have heard nothing and just kept his head down.
After a long time.
Li Caijin then slowly spoke: "Murder notice? Why do you say that?"
“Because that’s what it’s written about.”
Gu Moli put the envelope on the table and said, "Mr. Li Caijin, you also have your own network of connections in the World Government, so I won't beat around the bush. You must have participated in the research and development of "Hero Trial", so you used this special sentence format in your letter."
"The meaning of this letter is very simple. Apart from the jokes, it actually only has one sentence: a horrific incident will occur in the Twin Towers, assuming that this is not a prank."
"Except for the possibility that the murderer himself gave the notice."
"It can only be you, Mr. Li Caijin, who has the ability to predict the future."
"Which one are you?"
"former."
Li Caijin answered without hesitation, without even the slightest pause.
This decisiveness made Gu Moli's mood sink rapidly.
"... In other words, even at this point, you still intend to kill people?"
"I never said that."
Li Caijin smiled gently, like an ordinary elder: "Mr. Gu, I told you, I have investigated you, you are actually a very smart person, you know how to make yourself an ordinary person, can you tell me why you deliberately came here?"
"Deliberate?"
"certainly."
Li Caijin glanced at Hua Qiong and said, "... If you think that it is not deliberate to go to such great lengths to invite such a beautiful lady to accompany you?"
"Of course not!"
“Ahem!”
Ignoring Hua Qiong's cough, Gu Moli frowned as he looked at the withered middle-aged man in the wheelchair: "... Mr. Li Caijin, I must warn you that killing is illegal. No matter what the reason is, killing is the worst choice. If you are willing to share your troubles with me..."
"Mr. Gu."
Li Caijin interrupted Gu Moli: "... ..Why did you come here?"
"... ..to stop the murder."
“Great.”
Li Caijin smiled even more happily: "I allow you to move anywhere in this building until you feel safe. Since the best detective in Guanghui City wants to prevent the murder from happening, I will certainly not restrict your actions. Please do as you wish."
"... ..I mean, you should give up... .."
"Old Chen, show the guest out."
Li Caijin's wheelchair slowly turned, and he looked at the floor-to-ceiling window again, no longer facing Gu Moli and others.
... .All right.
After hearing this, Gu Moli finally understood.
That letter was more than just a murder notice.
It is also a letter... .
Challenge letter!
