Weird Regulator

Ji Li's calf felt a little stinging, but he held it tight and did not dare to make a sound.

That figure was only a few steps away from him. Once discovered by that person, I am afraid that tonight's actions will be completely exposed.

He didn't dare to take a breath, he pressed against the wall with breathless concentration, and knocked in the room stealthily.

This was a woman, undoubtedly Mei Sheng. Ji Li didn't expect that she would return to the room at this time, looking like she was about to fall asleep.

You must know that those who can attend the dinner are definitely people with ulterior motives. Mei Sheng is the first to prepare to go to bed, which makes people even more suspicious.

Ji Li waited quietly, not too anxious, just thinking about how to get from the balcony to Helan's room.

If Mei Sheng was really going to sleep, he would have no chance to climb over the balcony.

While Ji Li was thinking, Mei Sheng, who had put on a nightgown, quietly left the bedroom and seemed to go to the living room.

Ji Li didn't know what she was doing, but he was relieved in his heart. He tiptoed to the railing of the balcony and put his hands on it.

He climbed up shakily, grabbed the eaves with both hands, and used the strength of his arms to move himself to Helan's balcony.

If it weren't for his lame leg, such a trivial matter wouldn't have been so troublesome at all, but fortunately, he was very fast and steady, and successfully reached Helan's room.

The bay window on the balcony was not sealed. Ji Li put on a pair of gloves and walked into Helan's room in the dark.

The structure of Helan's room is exactly the same as the others, or in other words, everyone's room is the same.

Ji Li's goal was clear. He wanted to find Helan's luggage. After searching the bedroom, he headed to the living room.

A suitcase was placed on the coffee table in the living room. It was square and had been left there for a long time.

Ji Li's eyes flickered in the darkness. This was the first time he had killed a fellow store clerk in such a direct way during a mission, so it was inevitably a little strange.

But without much hesitation, he gently opened the suitcase, rummaged through it, and finally settled on two things.

He picked up a pipe in his left hand. The style was exactly the same as the one Helan had held before. This must be Helan's spare item.

Ji Li then took out a small colorless and odorless medicine bottle from his arms, which contained gamma-hydroxybutyric acid, a drug that has a strong inhibitory effect on the central nervous system.

After taking it, it can cause spasmodic muscle contraction, confusion, liver failure, respiratory depression and other effects.

Ji Li unscrewed the cap of the bottle and dropped half a bottle onto the pipe tobacco. This was already a high dose.

After doing this, he put the pipe back into its original position in the suitcase.

As long as Helan uses this pipe again, he will not die, but he will lose most of his body functions, leaving only some instincts, and become a half-dead living person.

In other words, Ji Li's purpose of using γ-hydroxybutyric acid was not to directly poison Helan, but to make him unable to resist.

In this case, as long as someone else has murderous intentions towards him, Helan can only resist slightly, but he will not escape death.

The reason for doing this was that Ji Li expected that someone else would assassinate Helan tonight, and he wanted to turn Helan into an extremely weak person.

In this way, once the assassin succeeds, he will not be suspicious. He will only think that the process went smoothly and believe that he is the real murderer.

Then, if there is a real murderer present, no one will suspect Ji Li.

Of course, Ji Li also made preparations and looked at another thing in the suitcase.

This is an opium smoking pipe. It looks fine in texture and the rod is slightly smooth. It is obvious that this is something commonly used by Helan.

Ji Li took out the remaining half of the bottle of γ-hydroxybutyric acid, dropped it all into the tobacco, and then put it back in its place.

On the surface, these are ordinary pipes and bongs, but in fact, the tobacco and tobacco have been manipulated.

This was Ji Li's preparation. After He Lan returned to his room, if he used only one of the two, it would not cause death. However, if he used both, his liver would rapidly fail and die.

In short, Ji Li has created great convenience for the person who really takes action. As long as that person takes action, Ji Li will not have the slightest suspicion.

After all, no one in this guild hall has the ability to test the toxins in the smoke.

Helan, you will definitely die tonight.

After doing all this, Ji Li put the suitcase back to its original place, wiped it on the coffee table with a handkerchief, walked back step by step following the footsteps he came from, and wiped the floor clean to ensure that he would not leave any traces behind. trace.

However, just when he reached the door of the bedroom, he realized that he had overlooked something.

There was a dent mark on the bed in Helan's bedroom, and a wrinkle appeared on the surrounding sheets.

If Ji Li hadn't lowered his head and bent down to wipe the footprints, he would never have discovered this detail in the dark.

Someone came to Helan's room in advance!

So, is he (she) leaving now or not?

Ji Li's stiff arms hung in the air, and he began to hold his breath to remain absolutely still, not allowing himself to make any sound.

If there really is someone hiding in Helan's room, everything Ji Li has done will be seen. Not only will the plan not be completed, it will only be more troublesome.

"Third brother, listen carefully. Is there anyone else breathing in this room?"

At night, it was very quiet.

Ji Li held his breath and did not dare to make any sound. At this time, the characteristics of the third personality came into effect again.

After half a minute of differentiation, the third personality replied firmly: "No, absolutely not."

Ji Li let out a sigh of relief. If someone really looked at him, things would be complicated.

After wiping away all traces of his actions, Ji Li returned to Helan's balcony.

This time, he took off his shoes, hid them in his arms, carefully wiped the footprints on the balcony clean with a handkerchief, and wiped off the yellow mud on the railings.

The rain gave Ji Li the best disguise and washed away all traces of reading. However, to ensure safety when he went back, he took off his shoes.

As for Helan's room, all the rain stains that had not dried up were wiped away by Ji Li. Even if there were some residues, there would be no traces by the time Helan's body was exposed.

When he reached Mei Sheng's balcony, Ji Li was more careful and checked again with bated breath, only to find that Mei Sheng still hadn't returned to the bedroom.

Not only did Ji Li become suspicious, what on earth was Mei Sheng doing when she returned to the room so early?

Following the steps again, Ji Li returned to the balcony of his room, took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. He left the room at nine thirty-one, and it was now nine thirty-nine.

It only took eight minutes, which was beyond his initial judgment. The pattering sound in the bathroom continued, making Ji Li feel completely relieved.

He returned to the room and took out his suitcase, changed out of his clothes, put on an identical tunic suit, then lit a cigarette and went to the balcony.

Ji Li's hair was still stained by rainwater. He had to get wet on the balcony, otherwise it would be unreasonable.

However, just as he leaned his upper body over the railing, a sudden cold question interrupted his movement.

"Mr. Ji, you did a great thing by keeping silent!"
