Chapter 150 Good News Bad News
Chapter 150 Good News Bad News
The brakes sounded, and a gray-black Lamborghini, like a phantom under the night, stopped on the side of the road outside St. Pierre and St. Paul Cathedral.
Lu Chen and Milan got out of the car and walked towards the closed iron door. He reached out and grabbed the old-fashioned lock, snapped it off with all his strength, and walked in openly.
Passing through the path in the middle of the lawn, he saw the young man sitting on the steps in front of the church. There was no light, so he could only see the other person's appearance clearly through the night and the faint fire in his hand.
Black half-length short hair, he is an oriental man, and he is quite handsome. I believe that with his attire, he must look like a cold agent killer when he walks on the road.
But at this moment, the young man lowered his brows and eyes, just smoking a cigarette, like a defeated dog rolling in the mud after the rain.
As if he felt that someone was coming, the young man extinguished the cigarette in his hand on the steps beside him. There were more than a dozen scattered cigarette butts beside him. He looked up at the young man in front of him, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's Commissioner Lu." ?"
"it's me."
As Lu Chen said, he gave Milan a look and asked her to check in the church.
Then he stood there looking at the young man without speaking.
Less than a minute later, Milan pulled it out, "President, a woman around 1 years old died inside. Compared with the previous information from the executive department, it should be Alice Justin. There are signs of fighting at the scene."
Lu Chen looked at the young man, "Then you are Su Lin, you made it?"
Su Lin was silent for a long time, and finally nodded stiffly.
"According to the information I've read, you joined the Laurent family with her after graduation. You have had a good relationship with her for several years. Why did you kill her?"
Lu Chen looked directly into Su Lin's eyes, but Su Lin avoided it for a moment.
"I didn't want to kill her..."
Facing the eyes of the young girl, Su Lin looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, with a painful and ferocious growl: "I didn't want to kill her! How could I want to kill her!"
Miranda looked at Su Lin with a trace of pity in her eyes. When she read the investigation report, she understood that this young man liked Alice.
As one of the few A-level elites in the academy, Yanling Setsuna has excellent grades, no bad records, and completed three A-level missions during his school days. If he enters the executive department, he will also be a rare elite commissioner, but he still gave up. Instead of joining the executive department, he accepted the solicitation of the Laurent family.
What this young man was chasing was not power and money, but love.
"But she died."
Lu Chen looked inside the opened door, and saw Alice lying on the ground with bright red flowers blooming on her chest.
Su Lin's aura fell instantly again, he touched himself, and then looked at Lu Chen.
"Don't look at me, quit."
Lu Chen knew what the young man meant, and also understood the other party's irritability and pain at this time.
Su Lin took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, "Because of the pursuit of the executive department, Alice and I will temporarily split up and make an appointment every night. The agreed place tonight is here."
Lu Chen and Milana didn't interrupt each other, and Su Lin contacted the executive department by himself, so he should be ready to tell the whole story.
"When we first met, I received a task email from the family, the content is..." At this point, Su Lin's voice trembled, and he said through gritted teeth: "...Get rid of Alice."
"An order from the Laurent family?"
Lu Chen frowned. It seemed that the old butler was indeed lying. From the current point of view, they absolutely controlled the whereabouts of Su Lin and Alice.
Su Lin nodded.
Lu Chen sneered and said, "It's such a ruthless family. By the way, you are just non-staff personnel, and you didn't sign a contract of sale. It is necessary for you to complete all tasks so faithfully?"
This is what Lu Chen doesn't understand. The family hires graduates from the college. This is the same as the ancient aristocrats' retainers. They are not masters who control your life and death. A retainer is a retainer. Su Lin has to take another step back like this. It's mostly just working for the Laurent family.
"Loyalty? I've never had that thing."
Su Lin laughed at himself, "I didn't want to do that damn mission either."
"In that case, wouldn't this kind of mission seem ridiculous? I don't think the senior members of the Laurent family are idiots."
"It's ridiculous, but Alice thinks I'm here to carry out a mission."
Su Lin handed the phone to Lu Chen, and there were mission details on it.
After Lu Chen took it, he quickly scanned it. It probably said that Alice betrayed the family, leaked key information about Elizabeth, and assisted the "kidnappers" in kidnapping Elizabeth. This seriously damaged the interests of the Laurent family and violated the law. "rule"
A bunch of crap.
This was the only feeling Lu Chen felt after reading it.
"So she was the first to attack you in order to protect herself?"
Milana was puzzled.
She has read the files about Alice's school days, and she is indeed an emotional person, but she and Su Lin have known each other for six or seven years since they were students, so they will turn against each other without negotiating?
Su Lin scratched her hair, recalled what happened tonight, and finally said dejectedly: "Maybe it was my last action that alerted her, it was my fault."
He remembered the moment when he had put his hand in the liner pocket and Alice had attacked him, where he had kept his gun.
Lu Chen took out his mobile phone to look at the files of the two, and walked into the church. The moonlight projected the mural on the window onto Alice, adding a religious and sacred beauty to her death.
He looked at the blades scattered around, Yanling. Jianyu, this is a difficult killer, Yanling. For an excellent user, the blade accelerates to the extreme and is not inferior to the bullet of a pistol. This senior It can control eight pieces, which is equivalent to eight invisible assassins surrounding the enemy during the battle.
After reading Alice's files, he turned around and walked back outside the church, looked at the slumped Su Lin and said, "How many steps can you reach at the highest moment?"
As for the physical test results, he didn't need to ask, just by looking at the boy's body movements and the tense muscles when he roared, he could roughly understand the opponent's level.
"It was Tier [-] before, and it's Tier [-] now."
Lu Chen patted the other party's shoulder, "Get up, there is good news and bad news."
Su Lin was a little puzzled, and didn't get up, but looked at the new star legend of the secret party, "What's the good news?"
"The good news is that she didn't want to kill you... You fought melee. I've seen the files of both of you. Combined with meeting the real person at this time, I can be sure that if she really wanted to kill you, the one lying on the ground should be It's you."
Lu Chen glanced at Alice in the church again. It wasn't that he deliberately belittled Su Lin. With Su Lin's physique, even if he drove to the fourth level in an instant, it was far from the blade under the full control of Alice's sword. He is not good at melee combat, and once he enters the range of Alice's words, the only thing that greets him is death.
Su Lin was slightly dazed, then turned back tremblingly to look at the girl's body, feeling complicated for a while.
Lu Chen didn't say what the bad news was.
Su Lin already knew, the bad news is that his beloved girl didn't want to kill him, but she killed her herself.
He should have thought earlier that Alice's sword control can control nine blades with all its strength, but today one is missing, because the other party stabbed him with a hairpin in the end, and he subconsciously completed the number, but in fact this Far from Alice's full strength.
"No offense, but Alice, as the former president of the Lionheart Society, if she is serious, you won't survive three breaths."
Su Lin didn't open his mouth after hearing Lu Chen's words. The authorities were bewildered, too many things happened tonight, and he was immersed in the sadness of Alice's death.
Now the truth is only partially revealed, and its cruelty has already made him unable to bear to look directly at it.
It doesn't matter whether Alice really betrayed the Laurent family, or whether she assisted the bandits in kidnapping Elizabeth's school manager, or these things were not important to him, he only cared about Alice's life and death.
Lu Chen stretched out his hand and pulled Su Lin up, "Tell me, what do you know about Elizabeth's board member?"
Su Lin thought about all the things that happened in the past few days, and finally said depressedly: "I personally don't know, we were only sent to Nantes to deal with some mixed races hiding in the underground black trap. On the day of the incident, I and Alice rested at the hotel in the north of the city, and we spent the whole night... maybe the whole night together."
Milan frowned slightly, and asked for Lu Chen, "What is maybe?"
Su Lin hesitated, and said, "That night we...I fell asleep after that, and when I woke up in the morning, Alice was by my side."
Miranda glanced at Lu Chen, wondering if the chairman understood Su Lin's hidden words. As for herself, she was not shy because of this kind of thing, she was performing a mission and doing business.
Lu Chen analyzed: "So what the Laurent family said may not be all lies. Alice may not be a traitor, but she knows something, something she shouldn't know, so she will be silenced."
Su Lin's hands were clenched tightly, with nails embedded in his palms. They had served the Laurent family for several years, but in the end they were just pawns that could be discarded casually.
Lu Chen looked at Milana, "Are Alice's mobile phones and other communication devices still there?"
"Yes, but the phone is set with a password, and it has been specially encrypted. Even if it is taken back to the equipment department, it may not be able to crack it in a short time."
Milana took out Alice's cell phone and handed it to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen turned on the screen and found that it was a four-digit password, which was very short, but there were still N possibilities.
"Do you know her password?"
Lu Chen looked at Su Lin, and thought that since they are a couple, it should be normal for them to know each other's password.
Su Lin nodded, and took the phone tremblingly. He shouldn't have lost his composure. He had never checked Alice's phone before, just because he was afraid of seeing something terrible. What was that terrible thing?
He didn't even dare to think about it.
Lu Chen watched Su Lin's fingers tap, but the screen was not unlocked, and the other party was also stunned.
"She changed the password."
Su Lin frowned slightly, why did he change the password today?
It's like knowing that someone else might get her phone, like knowing...she's going to die today.
"Where's the original password?"
Lu Chen was also a little inexplicably irritable, not only because the clues were cut off, but also because of the matter in front of him.
He didn't know Su Lin, nor did he know Alice. These two were originally the elites of Kassel College, and they were also considered strong among the mixed races, but now their fate was woven like clowns.
Even though he hasn't figured out what the fate behind this incident is, he seems to have heard the ugly laughter of the powerful man, and he hates this feeling.
"[-], that's today, no, it's yesterday's day."
Su Lin looked at the time on the phone, it was already 12:30.
"Your birthday? Her birthday? Or the anniversary of your relationship?"
Although it was a bit inappropriate, like gossip, Miranda still asked. They needed some information to guess the password.
"It was the day Alice and I first met."
As Su Lin said, he tried his own birthday and Alice's birthday on the phone again, but nothing was right.
"Don't you try your love anniversary?"
Lu Chen asked, he had seen the birthdays of these two people in the files, and knew what the other party had tried.
However, Su Lin was stunned for a moment, and said: "There is no such day... I originally planned to confess my love today."
Lu Chen and Milana met each other and sighed almost at the same time.
"Then you still live in the same hotel as Alice?"
Miranda feels that this is really a confusing behavior in the world. The investigation files of the executive department indicate that Su Lin and Alice are in a relationship, and it is clear from the experience that they are a couple, but this guy has never confessed his love! ?
"Alice said the task should be low-key, and it's easy to contact if they live together."
Su Lin explained.
"Then what did you mean by that?"
Miranda was a little overwhelmed.
"what do you mean?"
Su Lin was puzzled.
"That's... You said you fell asleep after that?"
Miranda looked at Su Lin like a ghost.
"What that?"
Su Lin was still puzzled. He didn't know what the young commissioner was going to say. Didn't he know that the commissioner had to explain things clearly when he was on a mission?
"It's you who said you fell asleep after finishing!"
Milana's volume was turned up several notches.
And Lu Chen also looked at Milana with some doubts, thinking what the hell are you talking about?
"Oh, you mean training before going to bed? Alice and I practiced standing for an hour, and then fell asleep."
Su Lin knew what Miranda asked. He didn't expect the other party to ask such a trivial matter. In his opinion, it had nothing to do with the mission or the current clue.
Miranda glanced at the cold Alice in the church again, and then looked back at Su Lin, "I don't mean to offend, although I sympathize with your experience, but I sympathize with Alice even more."
Su Lin's expression sank again, he didn't want to discuss Alice's matter with anyone now, it was like the blade of the sword was lingering on him time and time again.
"Can this thing be handed over to the equipment department to crack?"
Lu Chen looked at Alice's phone in Su Lin's hand and said.
Su Lin shook his head, "This is the masterpiece of the equipment department. It avoids all possibilities of brute force cracking. This phone has five trial and error opportunities. Once the password is entered for the sixth time, it will explode. Return it to the equipment department. Neither."
