Chapter 186 Death Game Miss Lin is my good friend
Miss X's identity.
This lot caused some excitement in the auction. Although not everyone knew Miss X, those in the know understood the value of this talented painter's identity.
Besides, who wouldn't be curious about her mysterious identity?
The bidding became increasingly heated, and Tsukie Kazumi on the stage smiled and quoted a rising price, while Amuro Toru's heart in the audience gradually grew cold.
Needless to say, this item was the one that Punch had previously asked Yuejiang Hemei to consign.
This guy, this guy...
How dare you use Lin Xi's identity to make a deal?
Isn't Lin Xi Punch's subordinate? If this item were really bought by someone present, Lin Xi's peaceful life would undoubtedly be shattered... Is this what Punch wants to see?
He tried to relax his tense back and leaned back against the chair.
Then he said, "Hmph, this is the 'commodity' you gave to Yuejiang Hemei. Lin Xi's identity? While information can be traded, how does she know its authenticity and assess its value?"
It was no secret that he visited Linxi's school.
Since Punch knew that he went to Poirot Cafe to get close to Lin Xi, he must also know that he had been to Toudou University to look for Ando Hui.
Then it’s no surprise that he knew Lin Xi was X.
He now deliberately revealed X's identity and pointed out that this was the item that Punch gave to Yuejiang Hemei. First, he wanted to tell Punch that he already knew Lin Xi's past, and second, he wanted to tell Punch that he knew the seller of this item and wanted to see Punch's reaction.
To his disappointment, Lin Xi did not have any extra reaction and just answered the question that Amuro Toru asked next.
"Hehe... Is the news true or not? It doesn't matter whether she can tell or not."
"If she saw the value of the merchandise I offered with her violet eyes—and concluded, without any evidence, that it was worthy of being sold at this auction—then that proves what I said before about the legend of violet eyes."
"If she can't tell, I haven't lost anything. I proposed auctioning the items just to find the organizer of the auction and help you out."
Rather, Lin Xi was a little surprised that Yuejiang Hemei agreed directly after listening to his request.
But she actually had no intention of selling "Lin Xi"'s information to others.
Before she figured out Lin Xi's past, she would not let irrelevant people disturb her.
As for what to do if the product is bought by someone else... Haha, when the time comes for the handover, she would have already slipped away with Amuro Toru. She is not the kind of person who has a sense of contract.
The Yuejiang family blacklisted her because she did not complete the deal...
What does this have to do with her, Lin Xi?
The one attending the auction was the socialite Mizutani Sayuri, not Lin Xi.
Lin Xi thought so while listening to the bidding in the venue.
The price obtained for X's identity was higher than she expected. In the end, only two people were left bidding.
One is number 3 and the other is number 5.
Everyone else gave up and watched the two men bid.
The smile on Yuejiang Hemei's face became warmer and warmer: Bidding is good. The higher the bid, the higher the handling fee charged by the auction.
The item was finally bought by No. 3.
The next item is still related to Miss X. I don’t know if Yuejiang and Mei intentionally placed them together.
It's a painting by Miss X.
Lin Xi heard the news about this product last night, so she was not surprised when it appeared.
No. 3, who had just won the bid for X□□, hadn't even had time to catch his breath before he immediately started bidding fiercely for the painting.
Each price increase is very high, and it seems that they are determined to win.
pity……
Lin Xi touched his chin.
She also wants this item.
When everyone else gradually died down and No. 3 breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he had won the item, Lin Xi made his move.
She calmly used her wristband to interact with her chair and quoted an extremely high price, which was several times higher than the price quoted by No. 3.
Even Yuejiang and Mei couldn't help showing a surprised expression.
Amuro Toru was also surprised for a moment, but soon he sneered: "Is this how you use the funds approved by the organization? Spending so much money on a painting?"
"Shooting this after 'Night Baron', the money spent has far exceeded the budget, right?"
Lin Xi smiled and asked sarcastically, "What's wrong, Bourbon? Did I lose my composure because I took pictures of things related to Lin Xi?"
"You know perfectly well that if I buy this painting, the organization won't blame me for wasting money, they'll even reward me. Because, for the organization, a famous painting not only means its own value, but also symbolizes huge potential."
Amuro Toru knew what Punch meant.
The organization has always had a great interest in art, not because the members generally have high artistic attainments or have a special hobby for collecting art - but because expensive art can turn black money into regular income in the channels of the organization's operations.
In other words, money laundering.
Although Toru Amuro knew that the organization had this business and had been trying to find out more information to hand over to the public security, he had achieved little success over such a long time.
He also had to admit that Punch was right - Punch bought the products that could bring greater benefits to the organization, so how could the organization blame her?
He also had to be extremely alert to respond to the temptation in Punch's words.
He snorted. "I just find it strange. What kind of person is she that makes you care so much about her and go out of your way to photograph her work? Don't use the perfunctory excuse that the organization might need it to brush me off. You didn't bid on several valuable works of art before, so why did you bid on this painting?"
"That's not the way to treat your offline, is it, Punch?"
Every time he tried to ask Punch about Lin Xi, Punch avoided his questions by asking counter-questions and changing the subject.
So now he just goes straight for it.
Lin Xi smiled and thought that having so many aliases was fun. The experience of one alias being questioned by others about its relationship with another alias was also particularly interesting.
"Of course not the attitude towards offline users. Wasn't my statement clear enough yesterday?"
"Ms. Lin is my good friend."
Amuro Toru had a disgusted expression on his face.
"Good friends who can sell personal information like a commodity?" He said sarcastically, "Your relationship is truly enviable."
Lin Xi picked up the glass next to her and took a sip.
The glass originally contained decanted red wine.
But she never liked drinking. So, when Amuro Toru didn't notice, she had replaced the liquid in the glass with pomegranate juice.
What a pity there's no ice, she thought.
"Don't worry," she said, "I'm not actually planning on delivering it."
"Ms. Lin and I are really good friends, haha... This is still a secret in the organization. No one except you knows that she and I are related."
"If you want to contact her, it's up to you. But don't blame me for not reminding you, she is very smart." Lin Xi looked at Amuro Toru with a half-smile, "Don't investigate her and expose your own family background."
"Don't worry about it." Amuro Toru replied.
Investigating her only to reveal all of her own wealth? Humph, is Punch sure she's not talking about herself?
He didn't believe that she told Lin Xi her code name when they first became friends.
It must be that Lin Xi discovered it and tested it, and Pan Qu told her.
However, after hearing what Punch said, Amuro Toru felt a little relieved.
Lin Xi was not affected after knowing Punch's true identity. On the contrary, Punch seemed to care about her very much. So can we temporarily assume that Punch also has a little sincerity towards Lin Xi, his "good friend"?
"Next is the next item." On the stage, Yuejiang Kazumi took the product list and turned to the next page.
"'The Avenger from the Abyss brings you the sweetest death. The game ends only when only one person remains...' Hey, that's wrong. What's this?"
Looking at the large blood-red characters written on the page that should have the name of the next lot, Tsukie Kazumi spoke in surprise.
Her words were clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone in the audience through the microphone and loudspeaker, causing a commotion.
Some people were a little nervous because of these words that sounded not so good: "What's going on? Is there an emergency?"
Others scoffed, believing it was a deliberate performance, a gimmick to hype up the next item to be displayed: "What new item? Such a long prelude? And she even told a riddle before the auction, asking everyone to guess what she's selling? How boring..."
Others, sensing danger, excitedly stood up from their seats. "Hey, Bourbon, what was I saying? This auction is really starting to get interesting!"
It was Lin Xi.
She was feeling quite smug at the moment.
Look at what Yuejiang Kazumi just said - revenge, death, doesn't it look like something big is going to happen!
Fortunately, she had asked Toru Amuro to survey the escape route!
"Okay, according to the usual routine in novels—" She stretched out a finger and shook it, and said to Amuro Toru: "In this ancient arena, on this wonderful stage, under the spotlight, our beautiful Miss Tsukie Kazumi will die in full view of everyone."
"And it'll be a pretty bloody and impressive death, either with blood splattering on the spot or hanging in public. Tsk tsk, maybe both - after all, that's more of a show."
Amuro Toru glanced at her.
Lin Xi smiled charmingly with the shell of Mizutani Sayuri.
Behind her, Yuejiang Hemei was suddenly hung up, with a large amount of blood spurting from her neck and dripping down her skirt.
The pearl fell off the necklace around her neck, rolled away on the ground, and was stained with blood.
