After explaining the Seer's acting principles to Klein, Lin Ruo bid him farewell and returned to Backlund.
"Now that the old Storm pigeons have taken action, the follow-up plan can keep up." Lazily stretching, Lin Ruo suddenly chuckled and then conjured a pen representing truth in his hand.
He wrote:
[Haynes Vincent and Sirius Arapis will be discovered by the Punishers this week to be members of the Aurora Order.]
Exposing the identities of Haynes Vincent and Sirius Arapis was naturally to prove to the old Storm pigeons that the Aurora Order did indeed have the intention of causing trouble in Tingen.
Moreover, Lin Ruo knew that if Haynes Vincent and Sirius Arapis were truly exposed, Ince would definitely not sit idly by and would inevitably take corresponding actions.
"Will you write them off, cut off the clues, or will you abandon this move and start other plans while the plan is still just beginning?" Lin Ruo tapped his chin with the pen, narrowed his eyes, and his aura suddenly became dangerous.
"Or, let that evil god's offspring descend ahead of schedule."
"Tsk!" Lin Ruo then dispelled the pen representing truth and began his day of work and study.
Of course, mainly studying, after all, Lin Ruo now has several languages to learn at the same time.
As for work, although Lin Ruo continued to work as a detective out of consideration for concealing anomalies, collecting information, expanding his network, and some kind of wicked fun, it may be because the original owner hadn't made much of a name for himself in the past year, Lin Ruo hadn't received any commissions in the past few days. The few that came were basically about lost cats and dogs, requesting help in finding them.
"Is this the destiny of every detective?" Thinking of this, Lin Ruo couldn't help but smile, not really caring, just considering whether to take out an advertisement in the newspaper like Klein in the original book to attract customers.
Perhaps it was some kind of law, just after Lin Ruo had this feeling, before long, the doorbell rang, indicating a customer had arrived.
Lin Ruo calmly put down the textbook in his hand, got up and opened the door, and saw a somewhat uneasy young man standing outside the door.
The young man was about 20 years old, with deep blue hair and eyes of the same color. His appearance could be considered outstanding, belonging to the type that would have a 100% return rate in a crowd, wearing a black suit.
Irimei Cati, living in the third house from the left on the far side of this street, a middle class man with an annual salary of 400-600 pounds, although slightly shy, he is a new teacher at Backlund University.
Lin Ruo searched the original owner's memory and made a preliminary judgment in his heart. As a detective with secrets and carrying deep-seated hatred, Rudy Flair would naturally investigate the neighbors he might come into contact with in the future before moving into this street.
Afterwards, Lin Ruo showed a gentle and reassuring smile to the young man opposite him and said, "Hello sir, please come in and have a seat!"
"Y-you, hello!" The young man was still uneasy, but perhaps deceived by Lin Ruo's smile, he relaxed a lot overall. He almost subconsciously looked left and right, and after confirming that there was no one else, he followed Lin Ruo into the door.
After Lin Ruo closed the door, the young man seemed to remember something and asked, "Um, are you Detective Ross?"
Since he was using a pseudonym, Rudy would naturally not use his real name directly. In fact, Lin Ruo's current name is Ross Earl.
"Of course, I am Ross Earl." Lin Ruo immediately returned a perfect business smile, then led the young man to the reception room, invited him to sit down, poured him a cup of black tea, sat opposite him, and smiled, "Mr. Irimei Cati, welcome to my detective agency. May I ask what you need me to do?"
"You know me?" The young man didn't touch the black tea on the table, just looked at Lin Ruo with some surprise.
"Of course, Mr. Cati, every detective should have a wealth of information. It is impossible for me to know nothing about the people on the same street." Lin Ruo's smile remained.
Irimei Cati was stunned for a moment, then seemed to accept Lin Ruo's statement.
Lin Ruo then looked at him again and said, "So Mr. Cati, can you tell me why you're here today?"
Irimei Cati didn't answer immediately, just looked around, and after confirming that there was no third person in the room, he said somewhat nervously, "Before I say it, you have to promise that you won't think I'm crazy."
"Rest assured, Mr. Irimei Cati, you have to believe in my professionalism. And as a detective, I have seen far more than you can imagine. Some things that seem crazy to you may be commonplace to me. So please tell me the matter with confidence, so that I can solve your troubles, isn't that right?" When Lin Ruo said this, his smile narrowed slightly, his tone was serious and solemn, this person looked both mature and reliable, making people feel at ease.
Irimei Cati was obviously convinced by Lin Ruo's attitude. He looked a little more relaxed, but still nervous, and said, "It's like this, I… I think my girlfriend is fake."
Huh? Lin Ruo raised his eyebrows, and before he could ask further, Irimei Cati continued eagerly, "I know this sounds incredible, and sometimes I wonder if I'm crazy, but… but I really think my girlfriend is fake."
"No, it can't be said to be fake! Someone has replaced her! Although, although she looks exactly like my girlfriend, although she behaves exactly like my girlfriend, she is not her! She is not her!"
Irimei Cati's voice rose instantly, and he became agitated.
"Someone has replaced Lia! Someone has impersonated her! I can't find her anymore!"
"Calm down, sir, please calm down!" Looking at the person in front of him whose face was flushed with excitement, Lin Ruo's expression didn't change much, and his voice remained steady.
Only his voice, although not loud, almost suddenly calmed Irimei Cati, who had already lost control of his emotions.
The latter was slightly panting, looking at Lin Ruo with some astonishment and apology, and said, "I, I'm sorry, Detective Ross, I was too excited just now…"
And asked curiously, "What did you do just now? I feel… I suddenly calmed down."
"Just some psychological tricks, don't worry about it." Lin Ruo replied with a smile. He naturally used his supernatural ability just now. Although he only used it for a moment, it was enough to calm Irimei Cati's emotions.
And the reason why he used his supernatural ability, in addition to calming Irimei Cati's emotions, was naturally to leave a mysterious impression in the other party's mind and increase his credibility.
As for whether this would cause Irimei Cati to report him—on the one hand, just this little abnormality made it unlikely that Irimei Cati would report him, and on the other hand, as a devotee of the Evernight Goddess, Lin Ruo was not afraid even if he was really reported.
"Psychological tricks?" Irimei Cati nodded as if he understood, looking like he believed it a bit but not completely.
Lin Ruo didn't care, just continued to ask, "Mr. Irimei Cati, can you explain the situation in detail? When did you realize that your girlfriend had been replaced?"
He was indeed interested in this matter, after all, the matter encountered by Irimei Cati, as it looks, has a high probability of involving the extraordinary.
Although it is not ruled out that Irimei Cati himself is nervous and mistaken. But apart from that, whether it is a Faceless One replacing Irimei Cati's girlfriend's identity to act and digest the potion.
Or a Faceless or a Beyonder holding a Beyonder item with the ability of the corresponding Faceless impersonating Miss Lia and carrying out some secret plans, made it impossible for Lin Ruo to turn a blind eye.
