All the difficulties that Li Zhuo imagined he would face here did not come to pass.

This made him slightly stunned. He did not expect the other party to be so direct and generous.

Meanwhile, the woman by the name of Alsop raised her lace sunglasses and glared at Armstrong. “You’re the old woman!”

However, after saying this, she also looked at Li Zhuo. It was obvious that they were very curious about this matter.

Li Zhuo looked at the two of them and thought for a moment before choosing to tell the truth.

“Li Zhuo, five years, manslaughter.”

He did not mention that he had been framed, but simply said his name, sentence, and crime.

In fact, he had briefly considered again whether he should lie, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

The two people in front of him, one was a gambler, the other a con artist. Both of them were very good at grasping people’s minds. Lying in front of them was obviously not smart.

After Li Zhuo had just answered, the metal door opened again. This time Wilson had brought a beach folding chair, and he was really fast.

Li Zhuo could not help but think to himself, ‘if Wilson went to the hotel as a waiter, he would definitely get a lot of tips.’

At this time, the corner of Alsop’s mouth rose slightly again.

Seeing this detail, the corner of Li Zhuo’s eyes twitched twice. Could this woman see through his thoughts again?

In Li Zhuo’s view, although he did not know why Wilson would have that kind of misunderstanding about his identity, the two people in front of him obviously would not misunderstand.

If they told Wilson the truth, Li Zhuo could not guarantee what he would have to face next. Now it seemed that it was important to maintain a good relationship with these two real criminals.

Fortunately, this time, Alsop did not directly say what was on Li Zhuo’s mind. Instead, she silently watched Wilson bow and leave somewhat cautiously.

A moment later, the metal gate closed again.

However, Li Zhuo did not relax at all, because he could sense that something was wrong.

Just as Li Zhuo was secretly wondering what was wrong, Armstrong pointed at the beach chair with a smile and said, “please sit.”

Li Zhuo stood where he was and did not move. Instead, he silently looked at Armstrong and did not say anything.

Then, he saw through it.

Armstrong and Alsop looked at Li Zhuo with the same silent smile, as if waiting for something.

Only the sound of sea breeze, waves, seagulls, and beach volleyball remained in the entire Section S. 

Not long after, Alsop suddenly called out softly, “Arm.”

Armstrong subconsciously turned his head, but what awaited him was Alsop’s slender fingers.

With a flick, Alsop suddenly flicked Armstrong’s forehead with her fingers.

In an instant, only the sound of the sea breeze, seagulls, and waves could be heard on the beach.

The few people who were playing beach volleyball all looked over.

This scene happened too suddenly, and Li Zhuo did not know how to react at all.

What was going on? Were the two of them not on good terms?

Armstrong’s face was dark. He sat up straight from the beach chair, looking at Alsop and said in a deep voice, “what are you doing?”

“He already knows.” Alsop spread her hands, looking completely indifferent.

Armstrong said unwillingly, “what makes you so sure that he knows?”

“I can tell.”

“…”

After Alsop said that, there was a short silence. The four people who were playing beach volleyball burst into laughter.

The stunned expression on Li Zhuo’s face had completely disappeared.

He had completely understood what had happened just now.

Coincidentally, Armstrong turned to look at Li Zhuo and asked,

“Do you know?”

This question sounded very puzzling, but Li Zhuo’s expression was a little ugly as he slightly bent over and extended his right hand to the beach chair.

The next moment, Li Zhuo grabbed the chair towel on the beach chair and lifted it in front of the two of them.

Seeing this scene, Alsop revealed a victorious smile, and the four people who were playing beach volleyball laughed even more happily.

Armstrong opened his mouth, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Then, he laughed bitterly and asked helplessly, “how did you find out that there was something wrong with this chair?”

As a gambling master, he thought that he had never miscalculated in terms of people’s hearts. He did not expect that he would actually lose to a swindler like Alsop this time.

This was just a simple little game.

They had long known that a newcomer would come to Section S, so Armstrong and Alssop made a bet to see if the newcomer could discover that the towel on the beach chair had been tampered with.

At the moment Armstrong saw Li Zhuo, he was confident that he had won the bet. This was because the young man in front of him did not seem to have any skills. He was just a hothead.

Armstrong really could not understand how this young man could see through this ‘prank’.

At this moment, the four-man team playing beach volleyball also approached this side. Three of them took turns to flick Armstrong’s forehead.

The other person muttered helplessly and moved his forehead in front of Alsop.

Pa!

Pa!

After Alsop finished playing, Armstrong could not wait to play as well. Apparently, he wanted to find a psychological balance.

When all the ‘gambling debts’ were collected, the six people looked at Li Zhuo in unison.

They were all waiting for Li Zhuo’s answer — why could an ordinary young man see through this prank.

However, after Li Zhuo slowly swept his gaze across the six of them, he opened his mouth and said a long string of words that did not seem to have anything to do with the answer.

“Alsop, there are traces of a ring on the ring finger of your left hand, and there is a tiny black mole on the left side of your neck.”

“Your left ankle looks a little unnatural. It should be a minor injury recently.”

“There should be something hidden in the left sleeve of your prison uniform. Although I’m not sure what it is, it’s most likely a small bottle.”

When Alsop heard this, the smile on her face froze.

After Li Zhuo said this to Alsop in one breath, she looked directly at Armstrong.

“There’s something in your left sleeve as well, but this time, I can tell that it’s dice and poker cards.”

“At the same time, although you’ve been using your right hand, your left hand is very coordinated, and it’s even more coordinated than your right hand, so I think you’re actually left-handed.”

Hearing this, everyone could not help but look at Armstrong’s left hand, and their eyes revealed surprise.

They had never noticed this, but this young man actually noticed it!

What the hell is going on?!
