Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Why do you need a brain? ...
I stood in front of them, sincerity written in my left eye and innocence written in my right eye, as if I had no idea of the complicated situation between this legal couple.
Even if I was the fuse that caused the conflict between the two.
Levin stared at me for a long time, and the corners of his lips raised a mocking arc. "You really should stay. After all, you are also involved in this matter."
After he smiled like that, the memories that had been thrown into a corner suddenly popped out like zombies!
Wait! I handed the box over right in front of him on the 27th!
This means my suspicion has indeed increased sharply.
Damn it! Why does Levin need a brain? Can't he be as stupid or crazy as Olvera?
I've learned my lesson. I shouldn't have played tricks on the Grand Chancellor. These powerful Celestial Dragons in Ascendant City love playing tricks. How can a rookie like me ever outsmart them?
No, now is not the time to repent. Now we should think carefully about how to hide it from both Olvera and Levin at the same time!
"You're useless. The box you handed over that day is exactly the same as the box I found in the fireplace today. What do you have to quibble about?" Levin's expression was full of oppression.
His white gloves pressed against the box, one dark, one white.
Olvera, standing behind the desk, stared at Levin with a sinister and obscure look, her upper body hidden in the shadows.
I also saw his hands groping under the table.
What does this person want to do!
Did they shoot the Supreme Court Justice to get everyone killed? Even if they wanted to kill someone, they shouldn't have done it in broad daylight. Why did they have to choose a police station to dump the body in the slums, where else would they be suitable?
My tongue was secreting saliva like crazy, and my throat was swallowing mouthful after mouthful of saliva.
The second before Olvera was about to take out the gun, I immediately stopped Levin's action, "Levin, I admit that I bought both boxes!"
"Yes! It was me who sent the box to the beach, and it was also me who gave the box to Olvera! But none of this has anything to do with Olvera. He didn't even know I bought the box! In fact, he thought it was evidence of the rebels!"
Levin paused, and Olvera stopped moving his gun.
My fingers are shaking.
What was the book just talking about?
You damned Tianlong people, please don’t create so many messed up professional terms next time!
"I'm very grateful to Olvera." My lips trembled, my eyes filled with pain, confusion, helplessness, and other emotions that only pitiful and honest people would have. "I bought these two boxes from a smuggler. He said they were defective and the factory owner was planning to sell them. I just needed these two boxes, so I bought them."
"Oh, you just believe it?" Levin sneered even more.
Olvera's expression did not relax.
He sank into the shadows even more completely than before.
Of course I know why Olvera is nervous.
After all, in his eyes, I am just an honest man who is not good at lying, and I can reveal the relationship with just one sentence.
"Yes, I believe it." I was dejected and confused. "I'm really stupid. I don't know how to distinguish between lies and the truth, so I always just believe them mindlessly. I don't know how to lie either, so I can only tell you the truth."
The young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses was obviously stunned for a moment, and was shocked by my stupidity for a full three seconds.
He retreated back to his original position, or even further, and found a sofa to sit on.
"You are indeed very stupid," he sneered.
That's great, you'd better think so forever.
This way, if I really stab you first, you won't suspect me.
I calmed my pounding heart and continued to maintain my persona. "Levin, if you want to arrest me for smuggling, I have nothing to say. But as a friend of yours and Olvera's, I'm telling you the truth. You just have a disagreement. In reality, you're both very good people."
Olvera suddenly chuckled, "Useless, when you're tongue-tied you tend to say things that make people happy."
I rolled my eyes secretly. If you were really dumb, you would have smashed my head the first time I saw you.
"Don't be like that, Olvera. I'm not a very smart person. I'm actually very happy that you guys sincerely accepted me." I forced a smile and turned to Levin and continued, "Levin, Olvera is a very competent police inspector. He didn't miss any evidence that might indicate a rebel."
“…” Levin raised his head slightly, and his neck, which was more arrogant than a swan, glowed white under the light.
He said, "I can also arrest you for insurrection."
My face turned pale in an instant, and I frantically tried to defend myself, "Levin, what did you say? I'm innocent, please believe me!"
"Is this box really that important? Did I accidentally make a huge mistake?"
"On the 21st, the container they used to transport key items was this kind of box." Levin did not hide anything and said the key point directly.
My mind went blank.
Now I'm not pretending, I'm really confused.
What do you mean by delivering the critical items on the 21st? Wasn't the box delivered in front of you on the 27th?
No, there is something in here that I don’t know! What the hell are you trying to do, you inorganic creature?
The screams of collapse raced through my mind, and I asked, puzzled, "Wasn't there a rebellion demonstration on the 21st?"
Levin fell silent again and asked me another fatal question, "Useless, what did you put in the box?"
"...believe." I said.
"It's a very important letter. If you don't believe it, you can open it and read it now."
Levin looked me up and down, his brows suddenly lowered, "I'm not interested in those things."
"You just have to tell me what the smuggler looks like."
"I don't know, I'm sorry." I bowed my head in shame. "I met him three times, and each time he wrapped himself up tightly. At first I thought he was worried about being seen and getting fired from the factory. Now that I think about it, it turns out he had connections to the rebels. The third time we met was on the 25th, and he threatened me in the West District."
"What did he threaten you with?"
"If I tell anyone about the box, you will kill me." I answered honestly.
I was right, that energetic alpha man threatened me in this way.
He even stabbed me while I was eating. How could I stand that? If we meet again, I will definitely find a chance to stab him! Seriously!
"Levin, you heard me. It's useless. She's just too trusting." Olvera completely relaxed and emerged from the shadows. She lazily supported her chin with her hand and looked at me. "Don't speculate with your disgusting thoughts. If she really has a problem, I will send her to the execution platform on the 21st."
Levin stopped asking questions and focused his gaze heavily on the box on the table.
He was probably still pondering the truthfulness of my words, frantically searching for evidence as to whether I was directing and acting in this drama myself.
Na, na, na, let me say it again, I really don’t like dealing with smart-headed Celestial Dragons.
A lowly person like me might be hesitant to act openly due to my citizenship, but the intelligent individuals of the Celestial Dragon class are different. They have unlimited trial and error costs, and can recklessly implement their ideas. Even if they truly misunderstand something, they won't sincerely apologize.
"I will continue to investigate." Levin said this and stood up to leave the office.
I finally loosened my grip on the book and discovered that the pages were stained with sweat from my palms, becoming wrinkled and no longer smooth.
As soon as Levine closed the office door, Olvera started laughing.
"It's useless. That neighbor has cheated you again."
I blinked and looked at him with the helpless eyes of a child.
Olvera laughed and said, "He is a rebel. He knew that I found the box in your house, so he wanted to kill you to silence you."
I was silent, then gave him a complicated look.
Although the reasoning process was bumpy, fortunately I guessed the answer I wanted to convey.
"I need to go back and calm down, Olvera," I said weakly. "Don't worry about me. I'm just...sad."
Without waiting for Olvera's reaction, I quickly left the office.
Hurry, hurry, I have to catch up with Levin!
When I arrived at the police station, I just caught up with Levin getting ready to get into the car.
"Levin!"
Levin paused and straightened his bent back.
I walked quickly to him, hesitant and twitching, and whispered, "You, if there's anything I can help you with, you can tell me."
"What can you do for me? Catch Olvera's lover?" Levin still looked dead.
My lips were dry and my words were incoherent. "Levin, that's not what I meant. Well, if I had the ability... No, I mean, I'm a little ungrateful, but I really want to help you."
At this point, I was silent for a moment, and then I spoke hoarsely: "Levin, I can't do this. You and Olvera are both my friends. Seeing you get to this point, I feel more guilty and sad than anyone else. I can't pull it between you two, but I always want to help you."
Levin exhaled through his nose and pursed his lips.
"I'm sorry, I'm stupid. I can only use my brain to think hard about how to help you." I carefully observed his micro-expressions.
Very good, the corners of your mouth are raised.
I continued my efforts and took the initiative to expose the melon, “Levin, you came to the slums not just to find Olvera’s lover, right?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the air around them froze.
"You just said that a container of something would be delivered on the 21st." I said hurriedly, "You are a busy justice. If you were just looking for Olvera's lover, there would be no need to go through so much trouble to come here. You are not one of those people who only think about love. You have a big picture perspective. Levin, you are here to capture the leader of the rebels."
After another long silence, Levin stepped aside and said to me, "Get in the car."
My eyes immediately lit up with surprise, "Levin! Thank you for trusting me!"
Finally I can ride in such a comfortable car again!
The interior facilities are still as luxurious and the perfume is as intoxicating as ever.
I quietly used my fingers to pick at the gap between the car seat and the door, trying to pick out something valuable while no one was paying attention.
Levine sat to my left, legs crossed, white-gloved hands resting on his knees.
The suit pants were also stretched straight by this action, revealing the shirt clip inside.
I didn't look there.
"Levin, are you willing to tell me? If you don't want to, forget it. I know this is your secret. I'm just an ordinary person. I'm very happy that you can trust me."
"Idiot." Levin sneered.
I:"……"
That’s enough, you bastard. Be careful or I’ll stab you to death next time.
Taking in my complicated expression, Levin finally became less harsh.
"You're right. I came here just to find the rebel leader. The commotion on the 21st was too great. I need to come here in person to find him, and preferably bring him back to Ascend City."
"Do you know what he looks like?" I asked.
However, Levin's facial muscles suddenly tensed, and his eyes flashed with a venomous hatred for a brief moment. After realizing that I was next to him, he quickly hid himself.
He said: "I knew, but he hid it very well. Everyone thought he was dead. It wasn't until the 21st that I found out he was not dead. He had been hiding in the slums for seven years."
Very good, Ansa is indeed the leader of the rebellious preaching organization.
I found it inexplicably funny and even wanted to whistle.
Bai Wuyong, you're truly amazing! Who else could have offended the rebel leader and lived unharmed for seven years? Who else could have gotten the leader to issue a death order to hunt them down?
Although it sounds miserable, it is very respectable!
...Okay, stop comforting yourself. This spirit of finding joy in misery is so pathetic.
While thinking, the car drove towards the high-end apartment.
However, something unexpected happened and the whole car was shaken violently, almost knocking the people inside onto the roof!
I immediately protected Levin and held him under me, then cautiously punched him in the back of the head when he wasn't paying attention.
Hey hey! So cool!
Levin felt pain and fell into my arms, holding the back of his head in agony.
"Is your head okay?" I anxiously touched the spot where I hit him. "I hit the roof of the car. Sorry, I'll be faster next time."
"It's okay for now." Levin took a breath and tried to sit up.
But the story is not over yet.
The man outside suddenly shot out the car window with a gun and threw a strange object into the car.
The first time Levin saw this thing, his breathing suddenly became rapid, and he almost subconsciously wanted to throw it away!
"What is this?" I asked anxiously.
But in just a short time, the omega in his arms had a red face and sweat on his forehead.
He squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "It's... an inducer."
...Wow! That's awesome.
I wanted to whistle so badly.
Ansa, you did a great job!
