Chapter 19

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Zhuo did not pay attention to the surprised Alan, nor did he intend to explain anything to him.

That was because he knew that his time was very precious now!

Putnam could return at any time, and it was very uncertain. Li Zhuo needed to use the fastest possible speed to inspect this room, gather the information he needed to know, and then quickly leave this place.

After all, uncertain time was the shortest time!

Under Alan’s gaze, Li Zhuo reached out to touch the pillow on Putnam’s bed and lifted it.

Seeing this, Alan’s expression became strange. He did not know why Li Zhuo did this, but he knew very well that this was a very dangerous thing.

As a thief, he knew very well that when stealing, he should try not to touch anything, because it was very difficult to restore these things to their original position.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Alan could appear to restore everything in the room to its original position. However, this so-called restoration was not 100% accurate.

As the world’s number one killer, Putnam could certainly see some differences. In other words, they might be discovered soon after sneaking into Putnam’s room.

Alan already had the intention to back down. He wanted to quit the operation. It was not worth it to lose his life just to have fun and watch a good show.

However, the next second, he froze on the spot, because he clearly saw that Li Zhuo had put the pillow back in its original position. Also, it was exactly the same as the original position and appearance of the pillow!

In the true sense of the word, it was exactly the same, perfectly restored!

“You…” Alan opened his mouth, but he was too shocked to finish his words.

“What’s wrong? There’s nothing under the pillow, so I put it back. Is there a problem?” Li Zhuo said matter-of-factly.

“No, no, no, of course, there’s no problem putting it back. What I want to ask is, how did you restore this pillow to be exactly the same as before?”

“Is it difficult? I just put it back the way it was before I picked it up. It’s not like there’s no reference.”

“…” Alan stopped talking.

This feeling was like a straight-A student saying to you, ‘is it difficult to get an A? Everything you need is in the books. I just answered the questions’.

It was a bad feeling for Alan, but it soon disappeared.

He stood aside and watched Li Zhuo pick up or mess up the things in the room one by one and restore them one by one.

Although Li Zhuo’s method of investigation was a little clumsy, it was clear that he was not a skilled ‘thief’. However, his restoration skills were really strong!

These things looked as if they had never been touched. In Alan’s eyes, this process was simply an act of art.

Perfect!

This was a kind of enjoyment!

After being busy for about three minutes, Li Zhuo stopped what he was doing and slowly retreated to the door.

When Alan saw this scene, he understood that it was time for them to leave. He carefully retreated behind Li Zhuo and waited quietly.

Meanwhile, Li Zhuo just stood there motionlessly, quietly watching the scene in the room.

It was not until ten seconds later that he turned to look at Alan. “Restore the door lock.”

Alan glanced at Li Zhuo and nodded. Then, he took out the iron wire from his sleeve again and inserted it into the lock.

Two seconds later, the door of Putnam’s room was locked again. The two of them left quietly.

At the corner at the end of the corridor, the two of them entered the beverage room in Section S.

Li Zhuo sat on the sofa.

This time, Alan unexpectedly took the initiative to brew two cups of coffee. One had to know that he usually preferred to be the one sitting and waiting.

“Do you want sugar?”

“No, thank you.”

Soon, the two cups of hot instant coffee were ready.

They could have asked Wilson to come over and brew a pot of fragrant hand-ground coffee. That way, the coffee would taste better.

However, they obviously could not let Wilson know about their subsequent discussion.

“Li Zhuo, did you find anything?” Alan naturally sat next to Li Zhuo and asked curiously.

After leaving Putnam’s room, Alan returned to his relaxed state at the beginning. He was very sure that Putnam would absolutely not discover what had happened in his room.

However, Li Zhuo shook his head slightly and said, “there are no clues. It’s no different from an ordinary person’s room.”

Hearing this, Alan became much happier. Originally, when he saw how strong Li Zhuo’s recovery ability was, he felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he was the strongest thief in the world. How could he be defeated by an ordinary student?

Although he did not know what Li Zhuo wanted to investigate in Putnam’s room, Li Zhuo did not find anything. This really helped Alan feel a sense of balance in his heart.

However, he quickly realized that he should not be thinking like this. Should he be happy because Li Zhuo failed? This kind of mentality was too despicable.

Alan quickly adjusted his state of mind so that he did not have this kind of thought anymore.

He did not realize that he had unknowingly treated Li Zhuo as a kind of opponent. He said softly, “it doesn’t matter even if there’s no harvest. At least Putnam doesn’t know that we’ve been there, so there’s no danger for us.”

Alan smiled and took a sip of his coffee, but Li Zhuo turned his head and looked at him calmly.

This made him feel a little anxious. For the first time, he felt that the way the youth in front of him looked at him was like looking at a fool.

“Carl said before that Putnam bought a lot of knives, but we haven’t found these knives in Putnam’s room. Do you think this is good news?”

Hearing Li Zhuo’s words, Alan was stunned.

Putnam bought a lot of knives, but there were not any in his room.

Then, where did these knives go?

Also, what were the uses of the knives?

Alan’s face suddenly turned ugly. This was indeed not good news!

Alan immediately put down the disposable paper cup in his hand, then stood up and paced back and forth in the recreation room.

After a while, he looked at Li Zhuo seriously and said, “we have to go to the recreation room to find them now. My intuition tells me that this is matter is not as simple as it seems.”

If Putnam did not have any special purpose in buying a knife, then there was no need for him to hide the knife. Since he had hidden it, then Putnam must have something to hide from everyone.

Perhaps Armstrong’s worries would be true!

This was originally just a joke in everyone’s eyes. No one really thought that Putnam wanted to kill Armstrong. However, now, it had to be taken seriously!

With that, Alan was ready to leave the beverage room. He did not think he could waste any more time.

However, at that moment, the door of the beverage room was suddenly opened from the outside.

A tall figure appeared outside the door.

Putnam!
