Pokémon: I'm a detective, not the sixth one.

Lu Yi's words came very abruptly. Mr. Yi was still smiling, sharing the joy of his successful career. Unexpectedly, Lu Yi suddenly mentioned An Qi's name.

Every profession has its own expertise. Mr. Yi is good at grasping people's hearts, and Lu Yi also has special means of detecting clues!

With sudden questions like this, it is easy to observe the other person’s true expression!

Logically speaking, if Mr. Yi was not the head of the Hunter Guild, he should not be familiar with An Qi's name. Because he had the opportunity to come into contact with this name only once a long time ago when Lu Yi asked him to help investigate the sales of perfume.

Then, he should act quite surprised now, and then through some thinking and recollection, or asking Lu Yi in return, he could remember who An Qi was!

On the contrary, if Mr. Yi answered the question very naturally, Lu Yi would need to be alert because for ordinary people, a name that they had only heard once a long time ago should not leave such a deep impression.

If Mr. Yi can answer An Qi's message immediately without pausing, it means that this name has not been buried in his mind for a long time!

However, Mr. Yi's next answer was completely unexpected and disrupted Lu Yi's observation rhythm.

"Haha! I knew you would care about this!"

"Don't worry, ever since the perfume incident, I have strengthened the company's vigilance and have emphasized this matter many times at general meetings, asking everyone to take it as a warning.

That girl and the person who placed the order behind her are not people that we businessmen can mess with. I told everyone to be on high alert. If you spot anyone suspicious, don’t report to me, just call the police!”

As he spoke, Mr. Yi remembered something and continued, "Oh, yes. At that time, I also replaced the company's VIP cards. I called it a 'service upgrade', but in fact, I just replaced the cards in the hands of customers.

This way, we can easily identify the guy who ordered the perfume. If he dares to come to our company again without the new card, he will be exposed on the spot! "

Hearing this, Lu was stunned for a moment, and could only smile and praise Mr. Yi for his clever methods.

He felt somewhat unwilling in his heart. He did not expect that after his sudden attack, he would gain nothing in the end.

Mr. Yi's statement had no loopholes! He regarded that incident as a typical case and was worried about being retaliated by the masked man and An Qi afterwards, so he repeatedly emphasized to his employees that this process was very reasonable.

Therefore, it was reasonable for him to immediately take over the conversation when he heard An Qi's name.

Lu Yi was unable to get the information he wanted from his expression and words. Especially his first sentence "I knew you would care about this", which immediately made the whole topic smooth!

There are many intricacies involved here, because he and Mr. Yi are from the same hometown and have a very close relationship. So from the perspective of a "friend", Mr. Yi knows that Lu Yi will definitely talk about the topic of that incident.

Perhaps out of concern for whether he had been retaliated against, or perhaps after three rounds of drinks, Lu Yi put his arm around his shoulders, thanking him for helping him at all costs.

In short, even if Mr. Yi really prepared for this topic in advance, everything is reasonable.

Moreover, the sentence "I knew you would care about this" put Lu Yi in a very awkward position.

What this sentence really means is: "You are worthy of being my good brother. I knew you would care about your big brother's situation!"

As soon as Mr. Yi opened his mouth, the distance between the two sides, which was already not far, was shortened again.

Lu Yi couldn't dig any deeper at this moment. He was in an awkward situation, with no way out.

Taking a step back and giving up on testing Mr. Yi, his trip today would be in vain.

And further, continue to test Mr. Yi's reaction. When the other party feels that you care about him very much, asking inappropriate topics will not only make you seem to have lost the favor, but it will also easily alert the other party and make him notice something unusual!

Let's not talk about whether Lu Yi can get the information he wants based on the other party's emotional intelligence. Just in terms of identity, what if Mr. Yi is really the leader of the Hunter Guild? Lu Yi is now alone in the enemy camp. Once his intentions are exposed, won't he just wait for death?

"Brother Yi, I want to use the restroom. I drank too much water on the way here."

"Okay, turn right and walk past two offices. I'll be waiting for you to come back. The next pot of tea is ready!"

Lu Yi thought of a delaying tactic and planned to go to a place where there were no people to sort out his thoughts.

He stood up and left the office, and just as he left, a dark shadow slowly emerged from under Mr. Yi's feet.

“Jian, Jian…”

The Shield Sword Monster looked in the direction where Lu Yi left, and whispered something into Mr. Yi's ear.

Mr. Yi nodded slowly and smiled meaningfully.

"Well, I know he has no hostility, otherwise I would have called you out and killed him on the spot."

The Shield Sword Monster had been hiding in the dark, secretly observing Lu Yi's actions.

It was hidden in the shadow of the desk, right between the two of them. It could protect Mr. Yi's safety at any time, and also give him a fatal blow from below when Lu Yi showed any abnormality!

However, Mr. Yi is very confident in his talent system and does not think that Lu Yi can escape his control.

The friendship level of [83%] means that I no longer need to be on guard against him.

The SSS-level growth system [Evil Poison King] is so powerful! Over the years, no one has been able to escape his control!

Of course, An Qi is a special case. Mr. Yi still hasn't figured out why her friendliness is getting lower and lower.

"Did you find anything?"

Mr. Yi said something out of nowhere, but at this time the Shieldsword Monster had already dived back into the shadows, and he seemed to be talking to himself.

[No. I don't feel any power from him that can resist me.] The system said in a deep voice.

In fact, when Mr. Yi heard that Lu Yi was coming to visit him today, he had already planned and set up a trap with the system.

The issue of An Qi's friendliness has always been a knot in his heart. He also knew that the person An Qi cared about most was Lu Yi, so he naturally connected the two.

Mr. Yi once suspected that An Qi's abnormal behavior was related to Lu Yi. Because the latter was the only person in the world who had the same origin as him, Mr. Yi was worried that Lu Yi also had some special abilities.

But after systematic planning and observation, he no longer has such concerns.

When Lu Yi was talking to the female secretary before, he heard that Mr. Yi specially prepared tea from his hometown for him, and his favorability instantly increased from 80% to 82%. Later, when facing Mr. Yi's psychological tactics, his favorability increased by another 1 point.

The system watched the whole process and finally came to the conclusion: Lu Yi did not have the means or ability to resist the increase in his favorability.

If Anqi's abnormality was related to him, why didn't he prioritize lowering his own favorability?

Based on these judgments, Mr. Yi was very relaxed at the moment, thinking that Lu Yi posed no threat to him and would be an obedient dog sooner or later.

Just like that, the two fellow countrymen from China, each with their own thoughts, tested each other for a round, but both returned empty-handed.

They both became suspicious of each other, but since they had no clues, they put those thoughts aside.

However, they did not know at that moment that in the "big event" that was about to happen, these two people would be each other's most difficult opponents.
