271 Golden Rose (2/2)

Klein stepped in to shield off Mike Joseph and escorted him back to the hall. Upon seeing this, the two bouncers didn't rashly chase him away.

After a few steps, Klein said in a low voice, ”She's lying.”

”Oh?” Mike turned his head in surprise.

”When she spoke, her eyes darted around. She didn't dare to look at you directly, but she was also secretly sizing you up, which means she was lying and watching your reaction. In addition, her stance was highly defensive, and she appeared very agitated.” Klein gave his analysis.

Mike opened his mouth and exclaimed after a few seconds, ”You really are a great detective. Only with your keen observation and outstanding deduction skills were you able to discover such useful details.”

That's only because I had my Spirit Vision on and could see that Lopez's emotional colors weren't right… I came up with the reasons after… Klein smiled and said, ”Thank you, it's time for us to go.”

Mike Joseph looked back at Lopez and saw that she was walking towards the side door of the hall, as though she was going to her own lounge, and that the side door was in a corner of the room. It was very quiet around there, and there were many areas in the hall that couldn't see what was going on inside. There were also two bouncers standing guard outside.

”Perhaps, we should follow Ma'am. Lopez and observe her reaction. Maybe the anxiety from just now will make her do something…” Mike suddenly turned his head to look at Klein. ”Can you take care of those two bouncers quickly?”

”Sir, I'm only responsible for your protection, and that's against the law.” Klein smiled in response.

”I'll pay you more! A total of five pounds based on the combat price from before! If there's another fight when we run, it would be 10 pounds! ” Mike Joseph gritted his teeth.

”Deal!” Klein reached out and shook his hand.

Afterward, the two of them circled around to avoid the two bouncers from before and quietly approached the side door.

”Guests, please stop. Please leave this area.” One of the bouncers stepped forward and stopped Klein and Mike Joseph.

”Sorry, we'll immediately…” Klein bowed politely and apologized.

At that moment, his right fist suddenly punched out, heavily striking at the bouncer's abdomen in front of him.

The bouncer instinctively clutched his stomach, his body bent over. As for Klein, who had now stood up, he raised his left hand and chopped the bouncer at the back of the head.

Pow!

The bouncer fell to the ground and fainted. His companion was clearly caught by surprise at this turn of events. He just stared blankly and failed to react in time.

Klein immediately slid over and covered the bouncer's mouth with his right hand and punched his abdomen with his left fist.

Bang!

The bouncer suddenly bent down and spat out his undigested food, and Klein promptly withdrew his right hand and chopped downward with his palm.

At the same time, his left hand supported his opponent, allowing the bouncer to slowly fall onto the ground without making a sound.

After exchanging looks. Klein turned the knob, pushed open the side door, and stepped inside. Mike Joseph lowered his body and quickly followed.

Why are you so skilled… You're just a reporter! Klein lampooned under his breath, walking briskly but at a rapid pace along the paved corridor.

Suddenly, they heard Lopez's voice.

”Tell Capim not to send anyone over in the next few days!

Capim? Send anyone? Klein looked at Mike and found him looking equally puzzled.

At that moment, they heard Lopez's footsteps that were headed towards the corridor.

”Let's go!” Klein tugged Mike and ran for the exit without turning back.

During this process, he closed the side door and broke the lock in passing. It could prevent the people inside from coming out for a while.

Then, as if nothing had happened, they hurriedly walked through the hall and approached the exit while hearing faint, angry voices.

After reaching the streets, Mike heaved a sigh of relief and said in amazement and sincerity, ”I've experienced many similar scenarios, but not once was it as simple and relaxed as it was today.

”Thank you. I need to return to find out who Capim is.”

As he spoke, he took out his wallet, fished out a five-pound note, and muttered, ”But frankly, your price is really expensive. It's worth more than half a week's salary.”

”But you can claim for reimbursement, right?” Klein answered with a grin. Following that, he asked in concern, ”Aren't you afraid that Lopez will find your newspaper firm and get the police to arrest you?”

”That's a fake ID card.” Mike Joseph shrugged with a gesture of familiarity.

”…” Klein could only admire him.

After watching Mike board a carriage and leave, he walked diagonally across the street, waited for a public carriage and kept an eye out for anyone chasing after him.

At that moment, a rental carriage slowly approached and stopped in front of him.

A middle-aged man in a black coat stepped out the carriage and nodded at Klein.

He had blue eyes, a thin face, and gray temples. It was the same old gentleman that Klein had seen in the Golden Rose.

He's not a customer of the Golden Rose… He's just like us… Klein suddenly came to this realization.

”Hello, I'm Detective Isengard Stanton. I'm assisting the police in this case. Can we have a chat?” The middle-aged man pointed at the carriage tracks.
