Unconsciously, the celebration party has come to the last day. The atmosphere on the street is a little calmer than the previous two days. Everyone knows that starting from tomorrow, the empire will make every effort to eliminate hidden criminals.
Some people can imagine that the three-day celebration banquet, aside from congratulating the conquering army, was also a conspiracy to force the villains hiding behind the scenes to make a final stand. Therefore, the stability of the first two days not only did not make people feel relieved, but also felt that the enemy would do something even more terrifying on the last day.
Noticing the strange behavior of the investigation team, and having the same concerns himself, Leonhardt wanted to send more manpower to protect people's safety, but he was also worried that this would defeat the purpose of "leading the snake out of its hole".
In a dilemma, he approached An and wanted to discuss a better way.
"It doesn't matter, just strengthen the security." An said to Leonhardt while wearing clothes that facilitate movement.
"But this won't...?"
An reached out and patted Leonhardt on the head: "Why did you go around to a dead end? This is a conspiracy, why do you have to worry about the other party not taking action?"
Leonhart immediately reacted: "They have to do something... Strengthening security will reduce the enemy's scope of activity!"
Seeing that he could react so quickly, An nodded and said: "It seems that you have been too nervous these past two days and have exhausted yourself. Relax, you are not facing this alone."
"I just want to share a little more."
"Don't be in a hurry. If you take on too much, how can we be embarrassed?" An asked with a smile.
The joy of being cared for and the unwillingness to be treated like a child were intertwined in Leonhardt's heart. He didn't hate this feeling, or rather, he missed it after seven years.
Soon, Leonhardt noticed Ann's clothes.
"Are you going out?" Leonhardt stopped him instinctively, "It's not safe outside now."
"It's because I'm not stable, so I have to go out." An tightened his cuffs, "You and Erlan were busy so late yesterday, I can't just lie down all the time, right?"
The second day of the celebration banquet was the time when the enemy was most likely to take action. Yesterday, Leonhardt and Erlan had been secretly watching on the streets. They were very nervous and did not return until late at night. On the contrary, An Ze had a rare chance to rest.
"But if you patrol the streets, I'm afraid it will cause a bigger disturbance." Leonhardt scratched his head.
"Of course I can't run around."
As soon as An finished speaking, Miku ran down from upstairs.
She handed a white mask to An and said: "Pay attention to safety."
"No problem, come back later. I want to eat your cooking for dinner today." An looked very confident as he stroked Miku's hair.
The worry on Miku's face dissipated a little: "Okay, I'll make dinner, so look forward to it!"
Leonhardt just fell into the state of "walking on the street and was kicked inexplicably" when he noticed the clues in the conversation between the two:
An is about to go out, and the destination seems to be clear, Miku has no intention of following...
"You already know where the enemy will cause trouble?!" Leonhardt perked up.
"Just go to the most likely place." Although she had already tidied it up, in order to take care of Miku's mood, An still let her tidy up her collar.
"Where is it? I'll... uh." Leonhardt's first thought was to ask the guards to fuck him, but he immediately remembered that the security guards on the street couldn't move, otherwise the other party would most likely run away. cause chaos in the place.
"It doesn't matter. Erlan has already arranged people. Now we just need a few people with enough combat power to go over." Although An's expression and tone were calm, his movements were pointing at himself with his thumb, as if he was trying to control the situation. He was the one who said he could control the situation.
However, his beautiful look didn't last for a few seconds before he received a gentle slap from Miku.
"What are you doing!" Miku complained, and then couldn't help laughing.
Leonhardt narrowed his eyes and leaned back tactically.
Fortunately, he didn't forget to ask the key question: "Where is it?"
Seeing that Miku showed no signs of stopping, An did not answer Leonhardt directly, but guided him and said: "When a person is cornered, restricted everywhere, and has to do something, what will he choose?"
Leonhardt thought for a while: "Giving up on yourself... It's unlikely. It's all-or-nothing... We didn't leave him such room... By the way, let's vent his emotions!"
"Yes, without a truly rock-solid will, human beings would choose to vent their negative emotions when faced with such a desperate situation."
"We have destroyed each other's plots several times. They should have become angry and angry. With the enemy's disregard for human life, it is very likely that they will attack the people of the investigation team."
Leonhart took over: "But we have never relaxed our protection of the investigation team, so the enemy will look for those who provide clues!"
He suddenly realized: "And the most conspicuous among them is Mr. Wright!"
"Yes, Wright's escape is also a pain in the opponent's heart. Seeing that the chess piece that should be controlled by them is suddenly knocked down, it is difficult for anyone to stay calm. How much they valued this chess piece before, how negative their emotions are now. At this point, it is not difficult to guess what he will do and how unreasonable he will do." An confirmed Leonhardt's speculation.
His words reminded Leonhardt that Wright had the blood of the Rebain family. This same family is most likely to be the mastermind behind everything now.
"Then Mr. Wright..." Leonhardt thought he had said nonsense halfway through his sentence.
There was no way Ann could hide this from Wright.
"Of course, I told him in advance. Although he was worried about his mother, he agreed after learning that Erlan had sent people to secretly protect his family since Xiu En, who had exchanged identities with him, was imprisoned. "Ann looked at Leonhardt's surprised look and added, "Actually, it's not just Wright's family, but all the witnesses related to the attack. In addition to being protected by escorts, Erlan also secretly sent people to assist. .”
Leonhardt covered his face and said in shame: "It was my dereliction of duty."
He said that he failed in his duties not because he did not send someone to protect witnesses, but because he failed to detect the people Erlan sent. Although Erlan had good intentions, as a guard captain with official resources, Leonhardt believed that he should do better.
"Don't think too much. As an official, there are always some details that you can't touch among the people. The people in Erlan don't have so many worries. Now that he can be considered a citizen, he can be more thoughtful and considerate when facing difficulties. More hidden." An spread his hands, "Without his help, I would have to... be blind now."
He originally wanted to say that he would face the enemy alone, but he noticed Miku and changed his mind in time.
Unexpectedly, Miku noticed it keenly, and she raised her head and glanced at An.
The air solidified.
"..." No matter how smart An was, she didn't know what to say.
Leonhardt, who had just come out of his thoughts, did not have time to read the atmosphere, so he said at this moment: "Then I will go with you. With my force, I think I can help."
...I was going to take you with me, but could you not mention it now?
Ann gave a wry smile.
"Okay, don't look like this, I won't be willful at this moment." Miku stopped helping An organize his clothes, "Go quickly... come back early."
"...Hmm." An lowered his head and whispered in Miku's ear, "I want to eat fish, make it more spicy."
Miku raised his head and saw that An had already pulled Leonhardt and ran out.
She laughed helplessly and shouted to An: "Okay! I'll do it for you! It will kill you!"
"It's so spicy! I can eat spicy food!" An Ye shouted back.
Leonhardt, who was messy in the wind, felt full for no reason.
When the two disappeared from sight, Miku stared blankly for a long time, then silently clenched his fists: "I also want to practice martial arts! I must!"
She punched forward as if to knock something down.
The members of the troupe hiding in the corner of the second floor covered each other's mouths tightly, not daring to make a sound.
