So he changed his words: "May the gears turn smoothly, respectful Mr. Wilson."

"May the smog not enter your house, handsome Mr. Holmes."

Mr. Wilson blinked his right eye playfully: "I dare say you are the most perfect man I have ever seen in appearance. Blessed are the ladies and ladies of high society in Piltover."

No, miss is fine, why add madam?I'm not a Cao thief, I'm really not good at this... Li Weisi twitched the corner of his mouth, not knowing what to say.

After saying goodbye to the enthusiastic Mr. Wilson, Levi walked to the door of the house and took a look. After easily opening the door without a key, he found that his little mechanism was useless.

After all, the locks were all broken, and it seemed that he had no intention of hiding himself at all.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the house, Li Weisi found that the already empty house seemed to have been overturned, and all the furniture that was not much in the first place were all overturned on the ground.

Fortunately, because there are not many furniture, it will not be too troublesome to clean up later.

Li Weisi was not in a hurry to tidy up the house that looked like it had been squashed by a pig, but walked into the living room first.

While scanning his eyes, he found a note on the coffee table in the living room that had been stuck on the table with a rusty dagger. There were some words written on it, crooked like a dog crawling.

"If you don't want to cause trouble, hand over the Hex design blueprints. Before nine o'clock in the evening, come to the Shimmer Bar in the Border Market alone. Don't think about calling the police. The Piltover guards can't protect you forever!"

An ugly little red knife is drawn on the signature.

Is this threatening me?Li Weisi raised his eyebrows slightly, let go of the note in his hand with a sneer, and touched it casually. The golden-red beam penetrated it instantly, and it was reduced to ashes in just a moment.

Fight with me, Levi, do you have the strength?

He wasn't in a hurry to settle accounts with them, but sat back on the sofa, crossed his slender, white hands and folded his index fingers, thinking for a while, and then realized that this was an excellent opportunity.

First of all, the Philos family should not know that the design is in my hands—otherwise, Qinggangying will come to the door. With the power of the Philos family, they can come directly if they want to arrest me.

And the messengers behind those thieves probably don't know either.

Of course, there is no evidence for this speculation, just a simple empathy.

If you were the thief and made such a big mistake, the first thing you think of is to find someone you trust to make up for it, instead of reporting the matter directly.

In the social atmosphere of Zaun, there is usually no chance to make up for such a big mistake.

Thinking of this, Li Weisi's eyes gradually darkened. They wanted to send a message, and before everyone could react, they could easily take the design drawing from their hands.

Well, it will kill me in the end, of course it is unequivocal, whether it is the Philos family or those Zaunites, they will try to kill me who has held the blueprint for a while.

And my own advantage is that those Zaun people think they are just ordinary people, they will bring everyone who knows, and they will think that they have the chance to win...

Levi smiled, and he decided to go to the appointment.

At this moment, the doorbell rang outside the door, and Li Weisi got up and went to open the door. He was a tall and thin middle-aged man, wearing work clothes of a department store, who seemed to be a delivery man.

Sure enough, the man later handed over a signboard and a pen with some manifests on it.

"Mr. Holmes, this is the product you purchased, please sign for it."

Levi took a look at the miscellaneous goods neatly piled up on the cart behind him, nodded slightly after checking and accepting them one by one, and signed Watson Holmes' name on the manifest.

Afterwards, Levi helped the delivery man move all the goods he bought into the hallway, but he didn't plan to move these purchased daily necessities for the time being—at least until he came back.

At this time, the time came to six o'clock, and there were still three hours before the agreed time of the Zaun people, but because the border market was far away——

Frontier Market is located on the border of Zaun and Piltover.

In fact, big

The rift valley is not straight, but similar to an arc, like a hooked sickle, enclosing the southern city of Piltover.

The border market is located at the southernmost edge of Nancheng District, relying on the North Wind Exchange.

This is what Li Weisi saw by chance in the afternoon from the book recording the history of the Twin Cities - of course he couldn't read the whole book in one afternoon, he casually flipped through the book before reading it, and came across it by chance.

There are dozens of blocks between Baker Street and the Border Market. If you just walk, it is equivalent to crossing the entire southern part of Piltover, and you can break your legs.

Li Weisi thought about it for a while, and decided to spend some money to rent a carriage, which was a necessary expense, but since he wanted to rent a carriage, the time should be enough.

This should be preceded by a supper.

There is no such thing as running errands on an empty stomach.

-------------------------------------

"Hey!" The leather city guard named Wei stared at the young man in the opposite street, wearing a black double-breasted coat and a black top hat, his eyes were straight.

"From such a distance, I think this man is so handsome. I have never seen such a good-looking man in my life. Hey, Caitlin, where did you find... a man?"

Wei took off the power glove, held the table with one hand, turned over and ran to Caitlin's side, and then poked her with his elbow: "Introduce me, what's his name? Do you have a girlfriend? I wanted to Find a man and settle down."

Caitlin, who was wearing casual clothes and a peaked cap, rolled her eyes: "I'm not in the mood to listen to your nonsense, so keep an eye on it, now is the critical time."

"Tsk, eat alone, right?" Wei smacked her lips, and then started rambling.

"It's not easy for you to find a boyfriend. Which rich boy in the upper class doesn't want to marry you as a wife. Look at that old boy Mu Han who looks at you straight all day long. An old cow eats young grass and doesn't urinate. Okay. Okay, okay, I'm ugly, I shut up..."

not quiet for a while,

"...I'm different. The ditch mouse from Zaan has no looks and no money. My hometown is like a mud pit. It's not easy to find a handsome guy..."

She kept on talking like this for a long time, but Caitlin seemed to have gotten used to her crazy words, and ignored her, her light blue eyes were fixed on the door of her house.

"Hey! He's out!" Wei suddenly passed Caitlin, pointing at the young man and shouted, Caitlin patted his partner's arm speechlessly: "I see."

"Do you think he will call the police? I think he will. Seeing how weak he is, a typical Picheng guy. He can't survive half a day in the ditch of Zaun. Wouldn't it be shit to be frightened by those little bastards?"

Wei said here, as if thinking of something: "Hiss, yes, this kind of greenhouse flowers are beautiful but not useful. If you are scared, you might be too stupid not to call the police."

"According to Zaun's usual practice, I guess those little bastards must have left him a warning, and maybe they will ask him to send them those blueprints..."

Wei said here, and then his purple eyes suddenly widened, and his eyebrows raised slightly: "Look at what I said, do you think he is going to the Justice Department to call the police or is he going to kneel down and beg for mercy with those little bastards?"

Those criminals left the agreed place?

Caitlin nodded slightly. The plan was going very smoothly. She silently expected Levi to avoid the possible stalking members of the Zaun gang around him and send the agreed place to the Justice Department in a secret way.

In that way, he would be able to covertly take the plainclothes and wipe out those criminals.

She thought about it, and began to think about what to do next, but she didn't expect that Li Weisi stood at the intersection and hesitated for a long time, as if he was threatened by those criminals and hesitated - but in fact, Levi was just hesitant Which restaurant to go to for dinner, because they all look good.

But Caitlin didn't know what he was thinking.

From this position's perspective, in her opinion, Levi's looks like those stupid upper-class Piltover brothers in the past.

Although they didn't look flustered, they were just holding on. A little scare could make them do stupid things.

She could guess the threat methods of those criminals with her thumb, nothing more than emphasizing that the Piltover guards could not protect him, and the gang members would definitely retaliate against him and so on.

Isn't it...?

Kaitlyn silently watched Levi's hesitant appearance on the street, and felt a little astonished in her heart. She was very confident in her observation skills. According to what she knew about him, shouldn't he behave like this?

A continent-spanning traveler, explorer, learned scholar... and that's it?

She even wanted to run up and hold his head, shook his head and yelled at him—"I hesitate to make such a simple choice, are you stupid? Are you stupid? If you don't believe in the Piltover guards, you should also believe in those criminals." I will spare you! Is there a choice between dying now and possibly dying in the future?”——the mood.

"Eh? He's still in the mood to eat at this time?" Seeing Li Weisi walking into a restaurant not far from across the street, Wei was immediately happy: "Do you think it doesn't hurt to be beaten when you're full?"

Caitlin looked at his back and calmed down a little. He didn't seem to be particularly flustered. Could it be that he had been prepared?

She thought about it

Knowing where Li Weisi's confidence came from, he decided to continue to observe.

Four or ten minutes later, from Caitlin's perspective, Levi came from the restaurant, rented a carriage that was parked on Baker Street, and drove towards the border market.

"Are you really stupid enough to believe the nonsense of those gutter scum? This man is stupid, does he really think that those gutter bastards can let him go?" Wei Po shook his head speechlessly.

Caitlin showed no expression on the surface, but she was completely disappointed in her heart.

Through the preliminary observation of Li Weisi, she thought that he should be a wise and alert person, quick-witted and able to avoid risks.

But he didn't expect that he would act like this when he encountered the current situation. Did he think that his three-legged cat's skills could really beat the members of the Zaun gang who had alchemy enhancements?

Even if he can win one, doesn't he understand the truth that two fists are hard to beat with four hands?

Humans have limits. If you really want to meet those gangsters in Zaun who are all augmented, isn't that an egg hitting a rock?

Or is he going to surrender directly and be beaten to death?Caitlin thought about it and couldn't think of a way for him to break the situation alone, so she could only sigh helplessly.

There is no other way, we can only rely on Wei and I, let’s see if we can save him... Also, I shouldn’t have pinned my hopes on others, this time I was wrong.

Caitlin shook her head slightly, feeling a little disappointed in her heart. She even suspected that Levi's experience might have been fabricated, mainly because his current performance was not the same person as he described.

Is it a story made up to get close to me?

It's not that this kind of thing has never happened. On the contrary, as long as you follow your parents to some celebrity gatherings in Piltover, there will always be mad bees and butterflies coming over to brag about their "brilliant" deeds.

As soon as Caitlin thought of this possibility, she recalled how she was quite interested in listening to him tell a fairy tale all night last night, and suddenly felt a sense of humiliation.

She hated herself for not discovering his lie on the spot.

But right now, she is on a mission. As a senior private detective and an excellent sheriff, she quickly suppressed all her emotions and urged her partner in a low voice: "Follow up, whether you can catch that group of people depends on tonight."

She pressed the peaked cap on her head, walked out of the restaurant with Wei quickly and rented another carriage, and said to the driver: "Follow the carriage that just left, hurry up!"

-------------------------------------

At eight o'clock in the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun had already dissipated on the sea level in the distance, and the hazy mist gradually shrouded it like a gray-green veil.

Levi sat on the carriage with his eyes closed, not knowing that he was being followed by Caitlin, let alone that in their eyes, his appearance was a stupid act of sending him to death.

Of course, this is normal, and another normal-minded person would make the same judgment as Caitlin and the others.

Because if Li Weisi is not a mage with extraordinary power, then it is indeed a gift—but the premise is that he is not a mage.

"Sir, the frontier market is here." The coachman said outside, Levi opened his eyes, stepped out of the carriage and paid the fare.

A total of eight silver wheels, is it so expensive to charter a car?Levi's hands trembling when he took out the money.

I'm super, someone robbed money, I don't say who it is.

He watched the carriage leave, lamented the high price of Piltover, and then turned his gaze to the area behind him - the border market.

Here, unlike the bright and neat towers and row houses in Piltover, the architectural style here has undergone obvious changes, as if a rusty steel skeleton was built and then covered with slightly cloudy lead glass.

The stench of the city below overwhelmed the sweetness of the festive roasts and cakes.Zaun's smog rose like a tidal wave, over people's knees, and settled on the soot-stained awnings, leaving behind clouds of sludge.

This is Zaun.
