Parting Ways, Interrogating Zhu Rong
When Lin Yu left Wanjin Heavenly Seat, he bought two custom-made formal suits, one expensive casual outfit, two pairs of leather shoes, a bracelet, two ties, and a bow tie.
He also received three very beautiful hats – a wool brimless hat, a bowler hat, and an earflap hat.
Although the author of the article "Nightless Sky Huo Le" said that he used his own pocket money to buy clothes, the astonishing prices of those clothes... make it hard to believe that they were "pocket money".
In the Outer City, the price of the left shoe in Lin Yu's pair of shoes tonight could buy someone's life.
"Regarding the gift you gave to Fire Apricot... I didn't see anything suitable tonight. I'll help you choose one when I get back."
At the entrance of the Wanjin Heavenly Seat, Nightless Sky Huo Le looked at Lin Yu's impressive attire with satisfaction, straightening his tie. "In short, you look quite good... You'll definitely be able to charm any ordinary Noble Miss in an instant."
Lin Yu nodded.
Indeed, Fu Luo is a top male model.
If someone could poison Fu Luo mute, he could probably make a living off his good looks.
Unfortunately Fu Luo could speak.
Therefore, Lin Yu also mimicked Fu Luo's tone and said, "Then taking down the Nightless Sky Fire Apricot seems to be a piece of cake!"
Nightless Sky Huo Le pursed his lips. "Well, I'm sorry, Fire Apricot is really no ordinary Miss."
Lin Yu wasn't discouraged, since he genuinely had no intention of pursuing the Nightless Sky Fire Apricot.
After straightening Lin Yu's collar, Huo Le from Nightless Sky Huo Le asked softly, "Where are you going next...? Would you like to come back to the Nightless Sky Family with me for the night?"
"No, I have a lot of things to deal with, like tonight's attacker—I need to figure out his intentions."
As Lin Yu spoke, Nightless Sky Huo Le frowned slightly.
"He has been taken into custody by the Security Bureau of the City That Never Sleeps, and he will be interrogated by specialists."
Hearing what Nightless Sky Huo Le said, Lin Yu shook his head.
"No, I'm afraid it's not that simple..."
Judging from the other party's fearless attitude, "Zhu Rong" must have been confident that he would be safe even if he were captured.
After all, Lin Yu remembered that among those who accepted the C-77 commission, there was a red-haired woman operating under the name "Zhu Rong".
Furthermore, considering that in reality, when he heard the name "Zhu Rong," he was designated as the buyer by "Carrot"—and those people in "Order" and "Hunter Society" seemed to have a high opinion of his abilities.
Lin Yu believed that a "Tier 2" Player with such a reputation must have some extraordinary abilities!
Fu Luo was able to make a name for himself in the City That Never Sleeps, and even if Zhu Rong didn't Fu Luo such good fortune, he might not have fared much worse.
Although Zhu Rong was tasked with assassinating the butler Saint Orchid Kui, he had a vague feeling that there might be some connection between this mission and the mission to assassinate Arter Mercury.
The entire City That Never Sleeps is now like a complex network, with several Royal Nobles having deep connections with each other.
Hearing Lin Yu speak, Nightless Sky Huo Le nodded in agreement.
"Since you insist, then go and take a look—if you encounter any areas that require authorization, just contact me directly."
How can I contact you?
Lin Yu asked naturally.
"Didn't you save the butler's contact number?"
"Nightless Sky Huo Le said in surprise."
Lin Yu knew, of course, that Sherlock definitely had the means to contact the Nightless Sky Huo Le; this was not a blunder.
He simply watched Nightless Sky Huo Le quietly, and then Nightless Sky Huo Le realized what was happening on its own.
"Okay, I understand..."
Nightless Sky Huo Le spoke in a low voice, then beckoned a servant over.
"Get a new Communicator."
The servant nodded silently and left. A few minutes later, the servant returned like a hunter returning from a hunt, carrying a square box in his hands.
Nightless Sky Huo Le opened the box, took out a new Communicator, and quickly entered a string of numbers into it.
"Here, this is my private number... absolutely safe and efficient."
Nightless Sky Huo Le spoke, Lin Yu accepted the Communicator.
"Thank you, Your Excellency Nightless Sky Huo Le."
He turned to leave, Nightless Sky Huo Le suddenly called out to him.
"Wait."
Lin Yu turned around. "What is it?"
"You don't have to contact me only in an emergency. You can tell me about any non-urgent situation you encounter..."
Nightless Sky Huo Le paused, as if there was something he hadn't said.
But in the end, she didn't finish speaking; she simply turned around and walked to the other side.
Lin Yu smiled, turned around, and left.
Another driver from Nightless Sky Huo Le led Lin Yu to another car, which then slowly drove away towards the City That Never Sleeps Security Bureau.
The car stopped quickly, and Lin Yu got out.
Several security personnel were smoking and chatting at the entrance of the Security Bureau. When they saw Lin Yu's figure in the distance, they all came to greet him.
Lin Yu was about to reveal his identity as Distinguished Guest of the Nightless Sky Family and point out the car behind him when he heard the leader-like man speak up with delight.
"Lord Sherlock, I am so sorry for not welcoming you sooner! Why didn't you tell me you were coming!"
"We heard you displayed your prowess again tonight, personally solving an assassination attempt—we're discussing how best to thank you."
Before Lin Yu could answer, his deputy reminded him.
"Boss, tonight's capture should be considered a success—it's said that His Excellency Sherlock was the one who captured the Assassin."
"Hey, it's all the same. In short, Sherlock has once again solved the problem with his brilliance," the captain laughed heartily. "Since Sherlock came along, the number of troublesome security cases in City That Never Sleeps has been decreasing, and the number of S-Rank wanted criminals has been increasing... I haven't even asked yet, what brings you here tonight?"
Hearing the captain's words and seeing the genuine respect shown to him by the security personnel behind him, Lin Yu was filled with emotion.
Sherlock is doing so well among the Security Bureau in the City That City That Never Sleeps!
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Although this kid is a bit of a coward, he really takes on cases—and in reality, he has a good relationship with the people in "Order."
Those in the lawful camp should indeed all like Fu Luo!
However, since Fu Luo's face is accepted here, things will be much easier.
Lin Yu looked at everyone and coughed lightly.
"Ahem, let's keep it low-key, it was just a small favor..."
"I'm here tonight because of that guy I caught before—where is he? I want to interrogate him myself."
"I have a feeling that something's fishy about what happened tonight."
However, as Lin Yu said this, the sheriff captain seemed somewhat conflicted.
"This... Lord Sherlock ..."
Lin Yu raised an eyebrow. "What, did he run away?"
"No, not at all—never mind, I'll take you there right away!"
"We just hope you understand that we also have our difficulties!"
