Tianjin people will never lose SAN

Chapter 337 You two only have one word, don't forget

"We must not compromise with these damn pagans. I cannot allow you to hand over Mr. Saint...Rich!"

Haverson was the first to break the silence in the room. He was anxious. He and Roselis were believers of the saint and believed in Saint Balan unconditionally, but the same could not be said for the group of investigators in front of him. Seeing that everyone was silent, Haverson quickly expressed his attitude.

As he interrupted the conversation, he even forgot to say the blessing in praise of the saint.

"There is still some time before the opening of the Expo. Can you persuade the guests and citizens outside the venue to leave first and wait until we have eliminated the danger?"

Having encountered this difficult situation right after joining the Investigation Department, Kou Gang could only come up with this safe solution.

"No, the royal family will never agree to this conclusion."

Sir Gregory shook his head. The Continental Exposition was Mosesad's top priority in recent years. The royal family had invested an unknown amount of money and diplomatic resources in this regard.

Prince Andrew will not agree to ruin the opening ceremony just because of a senseless threatening letter.

Even if there are extremely serious hidden dangers behind it, Prince Andrew will only bite the bullet and urge the investigation department to resolve the special incident as soon as possible unless some conclusive evidence can be found.

"Then I will immediately mobilize the Royal Navy to help us set up checkpoints at the gate..."

Carol couldn't finish his words halfway through. This was like trying to cover up something. Foreign merchants and the public would surely find out something, and then the media would attack him endlessly.

"I think this so-called...pagan is very unprofessional."

Marquette looked at the note on the table again and continued to organize his thoughts:

"Although the other party gave the location and deadline, he did not mention his contact method to provide evidence of the credibility of the threat."

After hearing what Marquette said, Chief Norman and Sir Gregory couldn't help but nodded.

Yes, if we are interested in your conditions but have conflicts on some details and want to communicate, it won’t work without contact information.

Moreover, in this type of coercive crime, the other party will usually provide some minor evidence to make the coerced person surrender, just as kidnappers usually put the hostage's fingers into an envelope.

But these two things were completely absent in the letter.

"Marquette, please continue," said General Norman.

“I don’t think this is a prank, because the other party’s target is not money or goods, or even the Continental Expo, but Ricky. It’s clearly a personal vendetta.

It must be a pagan that Ricky has offended recently. There is no doubt about it. And this group of people is not without trace. "

"call……"

Carol, who was next to Marquette, took a deep puff of his cigarette and took over the conversation:

"It's pretty much what I thought. Although we can't recognize every one of Ricky's enemies, we have a rough idea of ​​them.

The letter only told us to hand over Ricky and take him to this isolated space."

Lin Brown pointed to the map, and the location given was an abandoned mill ten minutes away from the exhibition venue:

"I think there are two reasons why he proposed this condition... First, he was concerned about the other people around Ricky, and he was not sure he could deal with Ricky under their noses. Second, Ricky had changed his appearance, and he couldn't find Ricky for the time being.

Marquette was right, the other party's method was quite unprofessional, or it could be that the guy had never thought of letting go of ordinary people in the venue from the beginning.

Whether we hand over Ricky or not, the other party is ready to start the ceremony."

Chief Norman and Sir Gregory looked at each other. The reason why they called Shi Weitian's people and Richie's close friends to discuss the plan first was to see the reaction of this group of people.

If they wavered, Norman and Gregory would take other measures. But for now, none of the people in the room had the idea of ​​handing over Ricky, so the morale of the army could be used.

Especially Marquette and Lin Brown, these two people have clear thinking and have analyzed a lot of useful information.

"Let me think about it... I've got some ideas in my mind now."

Marquette stared at the floor plan of the venue and reached out his other hand to Lindblanc, who threw him a cigarette.

"Huh...we..."

Marquette turned his head and glanced at the people in the room, as if assigning tasks to them according to the plan.

"Let me ask you one more question, Chief Norman, Sir Gregory, you didn't call Ricky rashly because you were worried that he was being monitored by the other party, right?"

The end of the cigarette had burned into a gray-white column of ash, but Lin Brown forgot to flick it out. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Norman and Gregory behind the table.

"As you can imagine, we don't know the number of opponents and their special abilities, so we dare not reveal Ricky's current location."

Chief Norman saw through Lin Brown's thoughts. This guy was afraid that we were going to betray Ricky. He added:
"Don't worry, the Investigation Department will always support you. Just go ahead and do it."

"Well, everyone listen to me. The next two hours are crucial. I will divide everyone into two teams, A and B."

In the smoke, Marquette cleared his throat and said, completely without his usual slickness and sophistication:

"Carol and I are Team B. We have two tasks. The first is to bring experienced investigators within the department, especially those who are proficient in forbidden spells, to check each item that was borrowed from the containment department." Marquette pointed to the folder on the table. The investigation department had borrowed a total of more than one hundred items from the containment department, including a very small number of ancient relics, and the rest were conventional ritual materials and items related to the occult.

"Let's try our luck first. I'll mark a priority for inspection later. We must be very cautious in this move and not alert the enemy."

This method is a bit stupid, but it does have a chance of discovering and dismantling the trap within the deadline.

"If I can't find it, I'll go into the backup plan after one hour and 45 minutes.

At that time, we will need to create some noise in the courtyard behind the Continental Expo. This is not difficult. Just say that an inventor wants to conduct an invention experiment outdoors.

Many people will definitely be attracted there, which will reduce some casualties.”

This was also the reason why Marquette chose himself and Carol to implement Plan B. His frontal combat power was limited and he could not help much, while Carol had the status of a noble. It would be more convincing to have him help evacuate those merchants and nobles, so as not to arouse suspicion:
"And Lin Brown, you will lead Kogan and the Haverson siblings to implement Plan A. You are the main focus. The goal is to find the pagans who threaten us, that is, Ricky's enemies, within the deadline."

"Don't worry! We're willing to do anything to protect Mr. Ricky!"

Roselis took the initiative to express her opinion, but Marquette just waved his hand and ignored the little genius sister and continued:

"The enemy's target is Ricky, so your mission, Kogan, is to monitor Ricky's movements from a distance to prevent the enemy from seeing through his disguise.

Remember, whether you find anyone suspicious or not, don't rush to meet Ricky, as he may follow the clues to find out who you are."

"Yes, Mr. Marquette," Kogan agreed solemnly.

"Haverson and Roselis, you two have a difficult task. You have to act as bait."

Since the other party can't find Ricky, then we will "help you find him"! It's just to mislead you, and the bait is perfect for the little genius brother and sister. They are very distinctive in wearing white robes at all times.

The other party has an old grudge against Ricky and will definitely recognize the two of them.

"You're wandering around an area, trying to act like... never mind, just act like you normally do and pretend that Ricky is in that area."

"Okay!" the little genius brother and sister agreed.

"This is my key. If you feel the key shaking violently, that's my signal to you."

Marquette took out a key from his ancient relics and gave it to Roselis, and continued:

"Key jitter means we can't find the problem before the deadline, and then we need to use special measures.

You're going to yell, 'Rich! We got you! Come with us in the name of the Inquisition!' Got it?"

Xiao Tiancai didn't understand, but he just did what Marquette said.

Lin Brown nodded. Marquette's plan was one link after another. Although it was not very sophisticated, it was indeed very rigorous.

The ideal situation is to find the problem within the deadline. If that doesn't work, then do the next best thing and use the genius siblings as bait to lure the pagans in. If there is still no result, then take a risky move and trick the opponent after most of the people have been evacuated.

As the deadline approaches, the other party's mind will also become confused, and perhaps the words of the little genius brother and sister will lead to their flaws.

"I know my mission. I will patrol the perimeter of Haverson and Kogan, observe the reactions of the people around me, and then wait for an opportunity to strike."

Lin Brown had been smoking continuously since he entered the house. He took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"That's right. You will carry out the last step. Don't hold back."

"Don't worry, there will probably be some bloodshed at the venue today."

General Norman and Sir Gregory also discussed it and felt that Marquette's plan was indeed the most comprehensive plan available at the moment, so they nodded.

"Havrson, Roselis, although you two only said one word, it is a matter of great importance. Pay attention to the vibration of the key and don't forget it."

"The saint's compassion shines upon the earth. Mr. Marquette, you are worthy of being a follower of the saint. Your wisdom is admirable. Don't worry, we will never forget this one sentence."

Marquette was confused when he heard this, but time was urgent and there was no one else he could rely on, so he had to depend on the little genius brother and sister.

"By the way, which area are we patrolling?"

"That's it."

Marquette drew a circle on the map with his finger. It didn't matter, it was purely random. Anyway, the two of them were baits, so they just had to avoid the area where the real Ricky was.

The genius brother and sister pushed the door open and left the room with solemn expressions.

At this time, merchants and citizens had already entered the venue, and the booths of all sizes were crowded. The little genius brother and sister kept their mission in mind and strolled around that area with their eyes wide open.

As they walked, they stopped...

How could it be so narrow! The area that Marquette casually drew was where Wordsworth and his companions were. The little genius siblings were just seeing the invention of the Calabash Brothers...
