There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

The relationship between the two is that of family members, and they should rely on each other.

"Let's go! Today's work is done!"

With his hands raised above his head, Ernesto stretched and walked towards home with Rafiela.

Covering her head, Rafiela trotted after Ernesto, looking back at the hotel from time to time, not knowing what she was looking at.

.........

After returning home, Ernesto sent his sister away and walked into Pancho's study alone.

The dim light flickered on the table. Pancho, who was supposed to be in his room, was now sitting in the study with a calm mind, resting with his eyes closed.

"Father..."

Closing the door behind him, Ernesto walked up slowly.

"Delivered?"

"arrive."

Ernesto nodded and sat down across from Pancho.

Opening his eyes, Pancho looked at his son with relief in his eyes.

There is no doubt about Ernesto's excellence, and this son is also the pride of his life. Ernesto always has a place in Pancho's heart.

But as the saying goes, a daughter is still a child at eighteen, and a son goes out to work when he is one month old. Naturally, Pancho's requirements for Ernesto are much higher than those for Rafiela.

"How is the strength?"

Pancho asked quietly, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table.

"They're very strong. Even Miss Talina has a gunpowder for self-defense, and her strange Originium skills are incomprehensible. If I were to take them individually, I'm no match for any of them."

The scene from the daytime game emerged in his mind and Ernesto shook his head.

It is not shameful to be less skilled than others, and he would not hide it.

"But Miss Lin seems to be particularly concerned about the smuggling case, and she seems to have found something. If we really let them continue on this path, it's only a matter of time before they're discovered."

Thinking of Lin Yuxia's previous solo action, Ernesto told her about it.

"Lead the exposed clues to other places, mislead their search direction, lead them to other places..."

Pancho was speechless as he covered his head with his hands due to the headache.

You said you were here for vacation, so just have a good vacation. Why did you have to play some crime-solving game? You really have nothing better to do.

But no matter how helpless Pancho was, he had to face the fact that escaping would not solve anything except himself.

"Forget it. Let's arrange some personnel tomorrow to try to eliminate them. We can't let them continue the investigation."

Rejecting his previous idea, Pancho looked at Ernesto: "How is Candela doing?"

"There's no problem with the mayor. The government and the military will send people to observe the ceremony. Just like before, the smuggling case hasn't caught her attention."

"She's still as arrogant as ever..."

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Pancho was like a hound lurking in the dark, baring his fangs towards his prey.

"Bolivarians should not continue to decline like this. Dos Solís will become their banner..."

"Drive out all those colonists!"

Volume 6: Chapter 23: Doubt

The next morning, Tarina got out of bed.

Because she was busy yesterday, she slept very well, so well that she didn't even notice there were two more people in her room.

Looking at Chen and Lin Yuxia who were sitting not far away eating, Talina looked over with sleepy eyes and asked in a soft voice.

"When did you come back?"

The owner of the question was naturally Lin Yuxia, but Chen, who was sitting next to her, answered first: "Just now, if you wake up, get up quickly. You still have to go to the competition later."

Knocking on the table, Chen raised his chin towards Talina, signaling her to come over and eat.

Talina was happy to be served. She simply sat on the bed to wake herself up, then got off the bed, walked over slowly, and sat down next to Chen.

"So, what did you find out last night?"

Chen casually stuffed the bun on the table into Talina's mouth and exchanged information with Lin Yuxia while feeding her.

She heard some hints from Ernesto yesterday, but they were not enough to confirm her guess. Now that Lin Yuxia was back, she could also compete with her.

"The casino owner lied."

Snatching the last bun from Chen's hand, Lin Yuxia gave this kid who didn't know how to take care of children a cold look and pushed the milk in front of Talina.

Didn’t you see that people’s eyes are about to pop out because of what you feed them?

"Huh...thank you..."

Tarina, who was halfway through writing her name, was pulled back in time by Lin Yuxia. She patted her chest with lingering fear.

"He not only provided a path, but also cleared out all the people around him. This is something he didn't mention before."

"What's the difference? The only difference is that he's a nobody?"

Listening to Lin Yuxia's description, Chen was a little puzzled.

The casino owner's confession was basically the same, except that he concealed the fact that he had cleared the surrounding environment, but he was not involved in it. What does this have to do with the others?

"You're a senior inspector, but your brain is worse than Shi Huaiya's."

Lin Yuxia rolled her eyes at Chen and quickly finished the breakfast in front of her.

Because she noticed that Talina's little claws were reaching towards her.

Lin Yuxia's way of speaking reminded Chen of the lynx from Rhode Island, and he refuted her directly without any hesitation.

"Instead of wasting time mocking me, why not just get this over with? When did you develop that habit of yours from that guy from Rhodes Island?"

Talina, who was standing by, had long been accustomed to the tension between the two, so she simply ate secretly by herself.

Since her strength increased, her appetite has also increased, much larger than before.

Fortunately, Talina was a wealthy woman and was just a little greedy. It was not a big deal and she would not gain weight anyway, so Chen just let her do what she wanted.

"I found some bombs in the residential area next to the competition venue. I watched them plant them."

While eating the bun in her hand, Lin Yuxia dropped a bombshell.

"You see them pretending? Didn't they say the smuggling route has been intercepted?"

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Chen immediately became serious.

Even after being discovered, the other party still dared to take action under their noses. This showed that they did not take them seriously at all.

Moreover, after the other party's previous batch of goods was intercepted by Candela, they were able to quickly come up with another batch of goods. This speed...

Chen began to wonder if the city's security no longer existed.

"They definitely have more than one smuggling channel. Perhaps most of Dossores's casinos and other gray industries are involved. That boss must be unaware of this."

"It's normal for them to communicate with each other. They're just borrowing a path. No one would be so stingy as to hold on to it tightly."

Lin Yuxia, who was well-informed about this matter, told the inside story in a steady manner.

"It's impossible for Candela not to know about this kind of thing. Either she doesn't care and thinks it can be solved with a simple move, or..."

At this point, Lin Yuxia looked into Chen's eyes and lowered her voice: "The top management of Dosoles deceived her about the audition, causing her to receive wrong information all the time."

"I personally lean more towards the latter. Smuggling explosives and munitions is no small matter even in normal times, let alone during a Grand Prix."

"She's a smart person. Even if she doesn't love this city that much, she won't let it fall to the brink of destruction."

"To deceive the eyes and ears..."

As Chen chewed on Lin Yuxia's words, a person suddenly appeared in his mind.

Ernesto!

This kind man has been following their tour guide these days.

Chen couldn't find any fault with the other party's proficient business skills, and his precise sense of distance would not make others feel that his enthusiasm was too intense.

To be fair, Ernesto is almost a perfect person.

It was precisely because of this that Chen rejected his own answer the first time he doubted him.

The other party has been following them all these days and has no chance to do these things at all. Besides, as a diplomat, he can only handle diplomatic affairs at most and serve as a tour guide for distinguished guests like he does now. Apart from this, Chen can't think of what else the other party can do.

The other party's father is a big suspect.

Holding Dosoles's security in one hand, he does have the ability to deceive Candela, but...

The smuggled goods were caught by Pancho's men, so it doesn't make sense to say that Pancho was the mastermind behind it...

You can do it secretly, why expose it?

"What? Someone's chosen?"

Looking at Chen's face that was almost tangled into a ball, Lin Yuxia knew that the other party probably had some guesses.

"No, that's just random thoughts. Let's get ready first. We still have to participate in the competition later..."

After casually cleaning the table, Chen picked up Talina, who was digesting her food, and walked out the door.

"I'm leaving first, come here quickly."

Waving his hand, Chen said with his back to Lin Yuxia.

She had no time to waste here. Today's competition was the last day, and if those people wanted to cause trouble, this would also be their last chance.

Pancho...Ernesto...

.........

Because it was the final and decisive game, the competition scene was extremely lively and even more crowded than in the previous few days.

Talina and Chen, who had arrived at the scene early, sat in their seats to rest, striving to win the championship in the best condition.

Lin Yuxia stood beside them, glancing around obscurely, looking for any suspicious figures.

On the contrary, Ernesto, who should have appeared long ago, was late and no one knew what he was doing.

"How's it going? Did you reply?"

Talina, who was giving little Muirses water, looked over and asked in a low voice.

"No, no reply to messages, no answer to calls..."

Shaking his head, Chen looked at the empty interface on the other end of the phone, and doubts suddenly appeared in his heart.

Could it be...that it's really him?

"Sorry, you three! We ran into some trouble along the way!"

Just as Chen was about to tell Lin Yuxia about his suspicions, Ernesto suddenly ran over from a distance, raising his hands and shouting loudly.

Following behind him was a gray figure, who was Rafiela who went out with them last night.

"Brother is an idiot!"

When Ernesto stopped in front of the three people, panting, Rafiela, who arrived late, rudely criticized her brother with words.

"Sorry, I encountered something on the way and am a little late."

Pressing Rafiela's little head down with his hand, Ernesto said apologetically: "Something happened to the old man last night, and I helped to deal with it. I didn't expect it would take most of the night..."

"It's okay. The game hasn't started yet, so it's not considered late."

When he saw Ernesto appear, the doubts that had just risen in Chen's mind slowly faded away.

On the other hand, Lin Yuxia looked at the two siblings thoughtfully, and at the same time used her nose to constantly capture other scents in the air.

"OK!!! Sorry for the wait everyone!"

Eureka, who had been ready on the sidelines, rushed out at the right time and cheered loudly in the venue.

"Everyone! Are you ready?!"
