The banquet that the 'entry' level can participate in is much more gorgeous than imagined.
In a corner of the hall, several musicians played familiar famous songs, forming a natural protective barrier for the chatting guests.
It's noisy……
Ye Gengyi was disgusted with such noisy occasions.
However, this was also an environment he had anticipated beforehand, because compared to Kuroba Kaito's disguise, his makeover card made it easier to create an alibi.
17 minutes, I don't know how Kaito's investigation is going... After Ye Gengyi made a round of substitutions, he silently estimated the time.
Even if there is no monitoring, two unfamiliar faces do not need to appear frequently, otherwise they will only attract unnecessary attention.
Just thinking about it.
Suddenly, he noticed someone approaching in his direction.
"When I see you, I feel that you are a very classy person. Can you give me some advice?" A voice with a slightly mature and steady charm came from behind.
"Um?"
Ye Gengyi turned sideways.
The person talking to him was a woman who looked about 30 years old.
She was wearing a fluffy black dress, with fair complexion and bright lip color. Her long golden hair cascades down her shoulders, and her hair is fine and it can be seen that it has been well taken care of.
Her facial features are delicate and regular, her eyebrows are long, her nose is straight, and her nose bridge is very high. She has a standard European female appearance.
In addition, you can also feel that she is very confident in her figure.
At least when Ye Gengyi looked at her, he straightened out the fat on his chest that was not subtle at all.
"Helena Winslet." The woman stretched out her hand, and there was a delicate ring on her index finger, shining with light.
She obviously had a good figure, appearance, and clothes, like a rich lady, but there was a callus at the tiger's mouth... Ye Gengyi shook his hand gently and showed a polite smile:
"Don Stark."
"Don Stark..."
The woman repeated the name, responded with a slight smile, as if chatting, and asked:
"Mr. Stark, are you here alone?"
"No……"
Ye Gengyi shook his head and looked around, and found that within 3 feet of the area where he was, as the woman approached him, there were two strong men in black clothes with "I'm not easy to mess with" written on their faces. He also set his sights here.
There is no other abnormality. Is this woman's bodyguard? companion?
While most women take care of their skin, what is the occasion here? Since he can come to this semi-gray party, it is not ruled out that the other party usually likes shooting sports such as dancing with knives and guns, and may not be specifically targeting him...
But then again, a person in this kind of situation, no matter how low-key he is, is still a bit eye-catching.
Without more information, Ye Gengyi could not make an effective judgment for the time being. He calmly withdrew his gaze and said:
"My friend may have gone somewhere else to meet a beautiful girl like you."
"Eh?"
The woman who claimed to be Helena Winslet was startled, covered her mouth, smiled softly and invited: "Then can I buy you a drink?"
"certainly."
Ye Geng nodded and followed the other party to a dining table that was not yet occupied.
Helena Winslet beckoned for a waiter to bring an unlabeled bottle of wine and two wine glasses.
“The owner behind the hotel owns several vineyards, but unfortunately, due to excessive consumption, he has been unable to drink vintage wine recently.”
As she spoke, she turned sideways towards Ye Gengyi's seat, and her slender legs slipped out from under her skirt as she moved.
Ye Gengyi clearly felt it, and instantly several eyes looked this way.
However, the target is not on him.
Ye Geng swung the glass, took a sip with his lips close to the edge of the glass, recalled a paper he had read, and said:
“Although the influence of vintage on wine is important, not all types of wine are dependent on vintage. For example, standard wines in many wine-producing regions are formed by blending wines from different vintages..."
"Hey...are you a wine merchant?" Helena Winslet guessed.
"No, I just heard others talk about it occasionally. I don't have much knowledge in this area." Ye Gengyi shook his head.
"Okay. I guessed wrong..."
Helena Winslet showed an annoyed expression and began to introduce her identity.
She claimed to be a jeweler, and like most people here, because the warehouse at the dock was rented by a large number of people, she was unable to transport the goods in her hands...
After saying that, she looked at Ye Gengyi and asked straightforwardly:
"And you?"
"Unfortunately, it sounds like I am a competitor with you."
In a few words, Ye Gengyi had already drank the red wine in the cup and said with a drunken expression: "The place you want to transport...couldn't it be Nevada?"
"No, it's somewhere else~"
Helena Winslet covered her mouth and giggled a few times. She also picked up the wine glass, but made a show of leaning her lips against the edge of the glass, leaving a long pause, giving people the impression that she was thinking about what to do. The feeling of answering.
At this moment, she suddenly stood up and said goodbye:
"Sorry...I suddenly remembered that I have other things to do. See you later."
"ah?"
Ye Gengyi pretended to be confused and responded instinctively: "Oh... okay."
"hehe……"
After Helena Winslet stood up, her eyes stayed on Ye Gengyi's face for a moment, and she turned around again before leaving, and whispered:
"To remind you, if the cargo is not too important, just leave this time... Maybe this place is not as safe as you think."
"What?"
"Shhh."
Helena Winslet lowered her voice, "For the sake of you drinking with me, this is no joke. As for me, I happened to know the news from a certain channel..."
"But, this batch of goods is very important to me." Ye Gengyi looked serious and also lowered his voice.
"Then there's nothing we can do~"
Helena Winslet thought for a while, stretched out her finger and tapped it in the wine glass, and then left a room number on the table:
"It seems that someone from the government is dissatisfied with this hotel and sent people to sneak in to investigate. If the money is gone, you can still make money. If you are caught, everything will be over. I am familiar with the jewelry business. Let's talk privately later. How about a chat?”
"this……"
Ye Geng showed hesitation and uneasiness on his face. He subconsciously looked at the red wine on the side. He then raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him. He took a deep breath and said:
"Thank you for reminding me, I'll... think about it again."
"Haha, don't make me wait too long~"
Helena Winslet blinked, and finally left without looking back this time.
