Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 515: Lao Zheng's Detection and Reasoning

Hiding in the dark corner found by [The Corner of Shadows], Lin Yu actually did not do anything out of the ordinary.

However, Lin Yu felt that if the other party was hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity to strike, it would be too passive for him to stay in the open.

Therefore, even if the other party's target was not him, Lin Yu decided to hide himself first.

After all, using Fu Luo's identity has both advantages and disadvantages. The identity of "Fuerboro" brings him a lot of convenience, but it is also bound to bring him some enemies.

What if a mercenary who came to take an order or an assassin sent by a noble saw "Forbolo" and decided to kill him to get more credit from his master?

What's more, what Lin Yu was going to do next was also aimed at disrupting the opponent's assassination plan.

"If I had known earlier, I would have taken A-06 as well. That way I could have gotten an extra reward..."

Lin Yu sighed, then silently took out Lao Zheng and Hannah from the [Prop Space].

If a real fight breaks out, you don't have to bring anything else, but you must bring these two helpers.

Anyway, they have left the Buye Tian family's sphere of influence now, so there is no need to worry about them being seen.

I didn't take it out before simply because Lin Yu had been following Buye Tian Huo Le and didn't have much time to be alone.

Moreover, Lao Zheng is Lin Yu’s most useful “detection-type” prop now, even better than the [Mind-Seeing Mirror]!

[Mind Mirror] will be ineffective against many bigwigs in the City That Never Sleeps. After all, they are familiar with the series differences of the Truth Company, so they all have excellent means to shield their emotions from being detected.

In this environment, although no one knows the principle, Old Zheng, who has extremely keen perception and insight, becomes extremely valuable.

"Wow, I was finally released. What's going on now?"

"Quack, Mr. Director, what can I do for you?"

After the two came out, Lin Yu quickly and briefly explained his current situation to them.

Lao Zheng understood immediately after listening to it.

"Oh, you're saying that you were having dinner with the eldest daughter of the Buyetian family and encountered the eldest son of the Buyetian family, who were her opponents, and the young master of the Shenglan family. There was a situation that seemed to be an assassination attempt on the young master's housekeeper of the Shenglan family, which caused the power to go out in the entire restaurant. For the sake of your own interests, you wanted to stop the assassination, but now you haven't found where the assassin is hiding. You hope I can help you find the suspicious target, is that right?"

Listening to the long and difficult sentences that Lao Zheng finished speaking in one breath, Lin Yu sighed at Lao Zheng's brain shape. He really didn't need to breathe when speaking.

"That's it, can you find it?"

In the absolute darkness of the Shadowy Corner, Old Zheng flashed a few times before responding to Lin Yu: "At least on the surface, there aren't any murderous masters mingling with the crowd... Scattered around the restaurant are only diners and staff—most of whom don't dare act rashly."

"And no one has tried to approach the Nevernight Fire Tree and the Holy Orchid."

"Could it be that the assassin really hasn't come? Or is he still observing outside the restaurant?"

"Maybe he'll choose a long-range sniper attack!"

Old Zheng asked back curiously, and Lin Yu shook his head.

"No, the assassin has definitely entered the restaurant..."

"Once you've eliminated those possibilities, it only takes a simple process of reasoning to arrive at a clear answer."

Even though they were in the [Corner of Shadows] and no one could see clearly, Lin Yu couldn't help but speak in Fu Luo's tone, using Fu Luo's face and identity.

He flicked the brim of his hat and spoke softly.

"Check again, Lao Zheng, this time focusing on the bodyguards and servants of the Shenglan family."

Lao Zheng was very surprised: "You mean he might have sneaked into the bodyguards at this moment... Oh my god, it seems quite possible!"

According to what Lin Yu said, Lao Zheng felt it again and then spoke immediately.

"Ha, you really caught me—the third one from the left front of Sheng Lankui, and the second one from the right back, there's something wrong with these two bodyguards."

"Their soul fluctuations and psychological identification are significantly different from those of the other bodyguards. They are constantly scanning the surroundings with some kind of instrument—it appears they are eliminating threats, but in reality, they are more like searching for the hidden butler... In other words, they are not protecting anyone, nor do they think they are looking for anyone. Instead, they are preparing to find their 'target.'"

Because the bodyguards and servants of these princes and nobles often cover their faces when traveling, it is actually quite convenient to "impersonate" them!

Of course, getting a special mask and blending into the team is itself a difficult task.

But once you get it, the risk of exposure will be reduced a lot invisibly.

Unfortunately……

Lao Zheng has no eyes, so he doesn't rely on facial features to identify a person.

Lin Yu nodded.

"Sure enough, he's in the bodyguard!"

He activated [Corner of the Shadowed] and moved over, hiding under a table a little closer to Saint Lankui.

Then, Lin Yu asked, "Can you find where the housekeeper is?"

"You really asked the right person," Old Zheng said proudly, "Although I don't know who the butler is, but... he seems to know that this is coming for him, so he has already hidden himself."

"He's on the ceiling—look up, probably right above the Nightless Sky Fire Tree."

Lin Yu looked up in surprise, and then found an unnatural "crease" on the ceiling.

If it weren't for Lao Zheng's precise reminder, he would never have noticed this in the dark.

"He hid it quickly... As expected of someone working for a prince, he has some skills."

Lin Yu sighed, and Old Zheng shook his head.

"It's useless, because he can't hang there forever... The bodyguards of the Buyetian and Shenglan families are very professional. They have already sent people to explore the route and investigate the cause of the power outage. During this process, they will prioritize determining a safe retreat route. In about three minutes, once they confirm that the perimeter is safe, they will bring people to escort their young master and young lady to evacuate."

Lin Yu suddenly realized: "By then... that butler Barry will definitely show up and evacuate together - those two assassins are mixed in with the bodyguard team, I'm afraid they are waiting for that moment!"

"At that moment, because of the darkness, all security forces would be concentrated around their master, even if they knew Barry was likely the target of assassination."

"And his defense at that moment was absolutely the weakest."

After Lin Yu finished his analysis, a report was heard from the door.

"The entire Wanjin Tianzuo has lost power. Someone used a powerful military-grade jammer to cut off all power lines, effectively cutting off all means of communication between the main family and the outside world."

"The security team should be on their way. We'd better evacuate Wanjin Tianzuo. We've found a retreat route!"

When Lao Zheng heard the voice, he spoke proudly.

"You see, it's just like I said—only it happened a lot faster than I thought."
