stand-in creed

Sure enough, Nero's voice came again.

"Wait, there's one more thing."

At this moment, the Disc has been withdrawn from the back of John Gerry's hand, and it is held in Pucci's hand openly.Pucci already had calculations in his mind.

"What's the matter, Mr. Chief?"

Pucci immediately turned around and was the first to answer.

What caught my eye was Nero, who completely overlapped with the main body, and the Stairway to Heaven.Not to mention a blind man like John Gerry, even Pucci, a normal person, doesn't know whether this sentence is said by the main body or a substitute.

John Gerry's heart tightened.

'Is this the voice of Stairway to Heaven, or Nero Zeppelin?

'have no idea.

'Then you should not speak at this time, and make the most perfect expression to deal with it... No!You can't use an emoji that perfectly responds to both situations!Since the person in front of me is Nero Zeppelin, if the expression I make perfectly responds to the "two" situations, it will make him suspicious instead.

'One of these possibilities must be dealt with! '

John Gerry immediately began to think about countermeasures.

Immediately afterwards, John Gerry pondered.

' At first glance it looks like a [-]/[-] chance, but it's not.

'Nero Zeppelin's "purpose" is to test whether I am a stand-in messenger, and it is meaningless for the main body to speak.In particular, he didn't know the true ability of White Snake, and he couldn't imagine that at the moment when he turned his back just now, Puqi had already informed me of the situation in the room through Disc.Even if this is an old trick played against Puqi, it is a "new" experience for me.

'Then my response is—'

After Pucci turned his head, John Gerry turned his head slowly and frowned.

"McCartney?"

He just said Pucci's pseudonym with some doubts, as if wondering why his friend stopped, but turned a blind eye to Nero's words.

can not hear.

I should not be able to hear it!

John Gerry didn't have me [-] percent, it was a big gamble.

Bet right.

It was precisely because Puqi used White Snake's Disc to bring information that he reacted correctly.

'...It seems that it is not a stand-in messenger. '

Nero judged so.

This also means that John Gerry's deception was successful.

However, John Gerry and Pucci heard Nero's next words as if their hearts were clenched tightly.

"You two go first.

"If I get information from Mr. "Xian San" later, I will contact you as soon as possible according to the contact information you left. "

Xianzo?

Not the pseudonym "Nishi Wakiho", but the real name Kenzo?

"...Who is Xiansan?"

"That friend you met at Airport America. " Nero said pretending not to know anything.

Haven't given up at this point, Nero Zeppelin!

John Gerry frowned: "Mr. Police, did you make a mistake about our information and someone else's information?"

Well done, John Gerry!

Unlike me speaking, if you, who were not directly interrogated by Nero, spoke first to break the situation, it would be easier for us to get away with it!

Pucci breathed a sigh of relief.

Nero asked back: "It's the gentleman who visited the Pantheon with you and then got separated?"

John Gerry said: "Mr. Police, you must have made a mistake. Our friend is called Nishiwaki Yasushi, not Kenzo. In addition, we didn't meet at the airport, but met on the "airplane". "

"Sorry, I did remember the location wrong."

Nero just asked that on purpose.

This time, Nero really let go.

"I saw a photo of your friend in the textbook when I was studying. When he was arrested, and after he was imprisoned. That guy is a cult leader with [-] followers. If he contacts you again, remember to call the police .”

read?

Yes, Nero Zeppelin is a law graduate!

Puqi suddenly woke up.

After exchanging pleasantries, Pucci and John Gerry finally left the police station, giving them a sigh of relief.

But the second he stepped out of the police station, Puqi suddenly fell into another kind of suspicion——

Could Nero Zeppelin be following him?

Now that I have confirmed that I am a stand-in messenger, it means that I have the "value" of being followed by him personally!

Puqi raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky.

Pucci understood—

This night is not over yet.

Chapter 12: A Nightmare in Rome Part [-]

Not right.

The more Enrique Pucci thought about it, the more something went wrong.

Was Nero that easy to get rid of?No, that's one of the world's strongest stand-in emissaries who even defeated Lord Dior. It's definitely not that easy to deal with!

If he was Nero...

Puqi frowned gradually.

However, although John Gerry beside him knew that Nero was there just now, he relaxed the moment he stepped out of the police station with his second foot because he did not face the oppressive feeling brought by Nero alone after the brief confrontation. .

"P..."

"Go back to America, Tim!"

Tim Hausa.

The fake passport used by John Gerry.

The moment Pucci interrupted himself, John Gerry was slightly taken aback.However, Puqi held his right index finger next to him, and tapped John Gerry's arm with a very small range, which was of different lengths but very regular.

John Gerry served as a sniper in the British Marine Corps.Having been a soldier, he instantly realized what Puqi was doing with his index finger on his arm——

Morse code.

A way of expressing the 26 letters using dots, dashes, and pauses between dots and dashes.

John Gerry immediately "read" the meaning that Pucci wanted to express, and he understood instantly——

— was followed.

Even though he was no different from a blind man, John Gerry still gave Pucci a look, indicating that he understood the Morse code.

As for Nero Zeppelin... Although he didn't notice any movement, it should be his own problem. After all, he not only has a high degree of cataract, but also the double "Manhattan Transit Station" that helped him confirm the environmental information is not convenient to release.

Presumably Puqi noticed something was wrong, right?

However, John Gerry didn't know that Pucci didn't find any clues at all, and only relied on the man's intuition to make such a judgment.

And this intuition——

is correct.

Nero was standing at the window at this moment, overlooking Pucci and John Gerry outside the window.

Suzumi Sugimoto quietly appeared beside Nero.

"Nero sauce, are you still suspicious of these two guys?"

Suzumi Sugimoto asked.

Nero thought for a moment and shook his head.

"The Pantheon collapsed overnight, more than [-] passengers died, and turned into a strange human skin. This must be the work of a substitute messenger, even a substitute messenger far worse than "Kira Yoshikage"!And on such a night, there happened to be such a stand-in messenger who appeared in front of me——

"It's just that the stand-in ability he showed is singing.

"Not only is the stand-in ability useless, but the whole person has shown a "timid" character that is not as good as a passionate gangster from beginning to end-I still remember the time I met Sha Lei and Mario Ziquero when I just returned to Italy ?This Mr. McCartney was no match for those two bastards.

"Instead of saying that he is the prisoner of the Pantheon incident tonight, I believe in another theory——

"The substitute messenger and the substitute messenger will attract each other.

"Especially what this guy is saying, it made me dispel my doubts about him. "

Nero had nothing to do and was observing Pucci downstairs.

Although it is impossible to see the small movements of Puqi's hands due to the distance and angle, the "mouth shape" revealed when the two stood in front of the police station gate waiting for a taxi and turned sideways can still read some sentences of--

"Let's go to the airport, Tim. I can't believe that something so horrible is happening in this country!"

This is Enrique Pucci's "lips" read by Nero.

Immediately afterwards, Nero resumed John Gerry's words: "What about Mr. Yasushi Nishiwaki? Do you want to try him...?"

"Ghost knows where he went! And the policeman said just now, his real name is Xian San, and he is a cult leader..."

"What if the policeman makes a mistake?"

"I don't care, anyway, I'm going back to the United States now, immediately, immediately!"

"……Fine."

At this time, a taxi arrived, and Puqi quickly stopped the taxi and drove towards the airport.

Lip reading came to an end.

"It should have nothing to do with him... 99%." Nero muttered, "They don't know that the old man beside them is "Xian San".That’s right, after all, it’s an old case from 30 years ago, and the Internet is not well-developed nowadays. This kind of “closed” old case is probably only people like us who studied law, or went to police academy, or wrote novels Will pay attention to it. "

"What about the remaining 1%?" Suzumi asked.

"The remaining 1% is the possibility that they are actually hostile stand-ins with "Oscar level" acting skills.After all, people's hearts are separated from each other, and it is always right to guard against one hand at any time. "

Maybe you thought someone else was disconnected, but you were actually playing Sleeping Arhat Boxing.

Once things like humans become wild, the gods are not sure what might happen.

Thinking like this, Nero opened the window, stepped out, and disappeared into the wind.

The wind is blowing.

Nero flew straight to the car where Enrique Pucci and the others were in.

"Are we following them?" Suzumi Suzumi was very curious.

"They are 1%. As for the ordinary people born in the police station, the probability may not even be 0.01%. From the perspective of expectations, it is more appropriate to follow them-even the ability to sing is more or less a substitute messenger, which gives a little bit" Stand-in" some respect is not bad.

"What's more, a guy named Kazama Toshikazu who was beaten into the hospital by me once said a word——

"The substitute messenger and the substitute messenger will attract each other.

"Xian San is dead. Not only is he dead, but his "human skin" was not found at the scene of the Pantheon, which means that he died elsewhere—maybe these two people will meet later Tonight's culprit may not be known. "

Nero's understanding of Xian San comes from textbooks.

And the understanding of Xianzo's "dead fact" comes from Sugimoto Suzumi - the body of my eternal heart, and Xianzo's figure cannot be captured at all.

Either Xiansan has some means to get rid of the eternal pursuit of my heart.

or—

He is dead.

The eternal ability of my heart is the ability to capture the traces of "living bodies", which is helpless for the deceased.
