Chapter 338

That is to say...

He is such a big and good man, how could someone tremble with fear when they meet each other?

Lin Jie nodded in approval, then smiled and said, "By the way, I seem to have heard you mention the name Joseph—coincidentally, I also know a man named Joseph."

"He is from a special department of the Central Police Station, and there is a disciple named Claude. I heard you just now, is it the same person?"

Greg twitched his lips, and had a deeper understanding of what Master Joseph said, "The owner of the bookstore likes to act and speak as a mortal."

Since the poor fellow next to him who seemed inexplicably malicious was also a Transcendent, there was no one present who needed to conceal information, and there was no need to cover up.

But this demon still has the look of "I'm an ordinary person who doesn't know anything", acting like the real thing.

But every time you feel a little waver in your heart, "Will he really be an ordinary person", he will seem to have insight into your heart, and inadvertently say some creepy words, which will immediately break your uneasy feelings. realistic conjecture.

It is really sinister for him to play with people's hearts repeatedly like this!

Greg felt that he had fully understood the essence of this demon, so he just wanted to cooperate. As an investigator, adapting to changes is also a necessary quality, and this level of pressure can still be withstood.

"Yes." Greg nodded, and said after consideration: "I was just accepted as a trainee disciple by Master Joseph almost half a year ago, and Claude is my senior brother."

"That's it."

Lin Jie nodded: "Claude seems to have been seriously injured before, is he okay now? Alas, the work of the Central Police Station is really dangerous. I don't know what kind of task will cause such serious injuries..."

Isn't it because of you, the devil's subordinate, that "faceless man with black scales" Wilde!

Greg curled his lips secretly.

As a member of the intelligence department, he has heard countless versions of Lin Jie's intelligence analysis.

In the last Oswald rebellion, if Wilde hadn't contributed to the flames, with Claude's level of strength, he would never have been powerless to fight back.

Although the root cause is Oswald, Wilde's motive for action is to restore the gargoyle that was originally given to the bookstore, so the culprit who guided him must be the owner of the bookstore, that is, Lin Jie in front of him.

The owner of the bookstore likes to secretly lay out disputes, which is already the consensus of all transcendents who know his existence. It is also because of that incident that Joseph will now fight Wilde fiercely on the battlefield.

In the end, the perpetrator is still pretending to be innocent...

It's really funny.

Although Greg thought so in his heart, he said: "Claude has almost recovered now, but he still can't move freely, so this time he didn't go with Lord Joseph... Uh, Carry out the mission."

It's so dangerous, it's almost about eradicating the Corpse Eater Cult.

The guy in front of him should theoretically be the real leader of the Corpse Eater Cult... If he speaks out, he must be dead!

Greg was terrified, always feeling like he was living and dying with every word he said.

Lin Jie didn't notice the deep meaning of Greg's slight pause. Hearing this, he just felt relieved. Although Claude was not a customer of the bookstore, he also made a lot of contributions to the construction of the bookstore. It is considered familiar, if something happens, he must be worried.

Fortunately, it doesn't sound like a problem now.

"That's good, that's right—Is Joseph on another dangerous mission? I have some things here and I want him to help, so I have to let him go..." Lin Jie asked: "Do you know the specific situation? "

Greg faltered: "Ah, um... this is indeed quite dangerous, but it's not easy to talk about this kind of thing outside, I mean, this kind of mission is generally not for outsiders to hear."

As he spoke, he glanced at Fitch out of the corner of his eye.

It is clear at a glance who the "outsider" refers to.

When this guy said the fact that he was very afraid just now, the proud and hostile eyes seemed to be still in front of him.

Relying on his professionalism, Greg judged that this guy probably wanted to use himself to show his value—the value of a dog leg.

So if this guy is fighting around, his true inner thoughts may really be exposed... So for the sake of his own safety, it's better to send this guy away first.

Lin Jie rubbed his chin and thought it made sense. The mission of the Central Police Station is so dangerous and difficult, so it must be kept secret.

So he turned his head and said, "Fei Qi, you can just send it here, it's getting late, go back to your own room to rest."

Lin Jie finally added politely: "Thank you very much, see you tomorrow."

"I……"

Fei Qi only uttered a single word, and he was already blocked all the way depressed.

His face was full of pain, and he hesitated to speak, but he had no suitable reason, and he didn't dare to disobey Boss Lin's words, so he could only say "Oh" dryly, turned and left, and before he left, he still gave Greg a warning look.

It was this kid who made him miss the opportunity to know more about Boss Lin!

It seems that his intuition is correct, this kid will hinder his thigh-hugging career, but the reaction is not fast enough, and he is still the one who got ahead...

This can't be blamed on his strong sense of crisis. After all, the young man in front of him is the second extraordinary person he met at close range during the banquet, and he behaved very strangely when he came up.

The opportunity that originally belonged to him is about to be taken away, so of course he has to take action.

It just seems that there is no effect...

"That's right." Lin Jie called Fei Qi suddenly.

The latter turned around in surprise, only to hear Lin Jieyu say earnestly: "Remember to read that book carefully when you go back, it will be very helpful to you."

"..."

Fitch nodded numbly, turned and left.

Although the only outsider had already left, Lin Jie felt that it was very unreasonable to conspire loudly and talk about things in the corridor, so he simply invited Greg into his room to sit and chat for a while.

"My room is pretty big..."

Lin Jie looked around the interior of the room, and could only lament that it was indeed the manor of the richest man in Nuo Jin.

He picked a seat and sat down, looked at Greg with a nervous expression, and said, "Okay, now we can talk."

Greg felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he was a little bit blind for a while—what did you say?

Isn't this guy himself the mastermind behind the scenes? Do you need someone else to explain the current situation to him?

He is a small investigator. Although he is said to be Joseph's disciple, he is actually just a name. Generally, it is easy to obtain information, but no matter how advanced he is, there is no way at all. He may not know the current situation on the battlefield. There are many general intelligence officers.

Thinking of this, Greg couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.

After all, he was born as a wizard, so it's normal for him to be a bit out of place in the secret ritual tower, which is dominated by knights...

Lin Jie looked at the suddenly dejected young man in front of him, his heart moved, and he habitually showed a business smile: "What's the matter, is there any problem or trouble? If you really can't say the task, you can just say something else, maybe I can help you."

Books can help you too, he added in his mind.
