Chapter 537 Leaked news
Black Snake really didn't know much about this commission, which was within Lin Yu's expectations.
After all, the mastermind behind the scenes was clearly trying to hide his identity; even Sheng Lankui had no idea who he was...
When Black Snake received this commission, he naturally did not catch the other party's weakness.
But - he still provided Lin Yu with valuable information.
This commission was issued three weeks ago.
At that time, Black Snake inexplicably received a large amount of transfers, both in whole and in small amounts, from an unknown anonymous account.
Black Snake was naturally very nervous after receiving the money - for a middleman at his level, he was actually not short of money.
But the amount of the transfer was still so large that Black Snake was shocked.
As a "senior intermediary", Black Snake naturally realized that this transfer must have a deeper meaning. Sure enough, not long after, he received another anonymous message sent directly to his communicator.
The message gave the exact same number as the transfer amount, and the transfer amount became a kind of anti-counterfeiting code at this moment - it is natural to have no idea what this message means just by looking at it.
Attached to the information was a time and address. The location was on a secluded roadside somewhere on the edge of the outer city, and the time was late at night that day.
So following the instructions, Black Snake came to that road late at night.
When he arrived, he found that there was a car parked on the road where almost no one came, especially no one late at night.
As he approached the car, the back door opened automatically.
After getting in the car, there was only the driver sitting in the driver's seat.
Black Snake remembered very clearly that the driver was wearing very ordinary clothes, a mask and a hat on his face, but he had an aura of a superior that was difficult to conceal.
He deduced that this person should be at least from a ducal family... and very likely even a royal noble!
Then, the driver told Black Snake his purpose: he planned to issue an assassination commission.
Because the target of the assassination was too important, the other party did not tell him who it was - this was very common, so Black Snake did not suspect it. Many employers did not want to tell the middleman the specific target of the assassination.
After all, the more people who know, the greater the risk of exposure... As the top middleman, Black Snake knows how to accommodate and obey his employer.
Therefore, he is also good at selecting suitable candidates for employers without knowing the specific content of the commission.
What's more, the employer's requirements were not that special.
"A skilled infiltration, strong frontal combat capabilities, and a worthy reward. Priority will be given to those familiar with the inner city and the nobles."
"The final team should have four to five people."
Based on these requirements, he quickly screened out a few suitable guys in his mind and prepared to contact them privately.
In addition, Black Snake also plans to issue an open commission through the Magic Pig Bar and his old friend's place to see if he can catch the tough guy whose contact information he does not have.
This is also the normal process.
But the special thing is...
"Today is my only appearance. Here are eight brand new communicators with my contact information stored in them. Once you find the right person, use them to contact me directly."
This is against the process.
Because this means that the employer has no intention of "reviewing" the candidates for this task!
This is very unreasonable for Black Snake.
Because judging from the amount and requirements, this should be a very critical task.
But for such a critical task, the other party did not intend to personally check the people who would carry out the commission... This made Black Snake confused.
Because this is an almost contradictory behavior!
In other words, the employer cares about the task, but doesn't seem to care about it.
"This is what I find most bizarre, but at the time, I didn't delve into it because of the high agency fees..."
After listening to Black Snake's complete narration, Lin Yu nodded slightly.
"I do know the general reason, but - Black Snake, please describe your employer to me in more detail."
Black Snake hesitated for a moment, then spoke again, "I really didn't get a clear look at him. He was wearing a windbreaker, with a hat and mask that fit perfectly together. Even his voice was processed."
"I can only roughly judge that he's not very tall, and he's driving a very common second-hand truck... So he's probably not one of the nobles who's extremely obsessed with mysophobia, and who has a particular aversion to the outer cities and the poor."
"And that person must be driving a truck, and his driving skills must be very skilled - because after I got out of the car, it drove away directly."
After hearing the black snake's words, Lin Yu seemed to understand something.
"Okay, I have a rough idea. Thank you for your valuable information."
As he spoke, Lin Yu looked at Black Snake: "Also, as to why this employer is unwilling to meet his employees in person, the answer is also very simple..."
At this moment, Black Snake heard Lin Yu's words, but he did not feel the slightest curiosity about this question that had troubled him for a long time.
on the contrary……
The black snake only sensed a chilling danger.
"Shh!"
Blood spurted out, and the middleman next to Black Snake also fell down slowly, covering his throat.
Lin Yu wiped the knife clean again and spoke with a smile.
"This is a matter of great importance. The fewer people who know about this, the better. I hope you can forgive me."
Black Snake couldn't help but tremble again. He intuitively felt that after hearing this, he would probably get into trouble and it would be difficult for him to survive.
but……
Black Snake didn't have the courage to stop Lin Yu, who seemed very excited to tell him the content of the commission!
Because he was afraid that if he spoiled Lin Yu's interest, he might kill him on the spot.
Originally, Black Snake was not that afraid of death. After all, he had long been accustomed to death in this line of work. He was also mentally prepared for the possibility that he might die one day.
But Lin Yu had already reminded him just now - if he died, what kind of desperate situation would his sister face?
It is true that I will die one day...but I absolutely cannot die today when my sister is still independent!
The great fear of death itself, coupled with this incident, made Black Snake unable to do anything now.
He could only listen to Lin Yu slowly telling him the content of the commission that made him despair.
"Mr. Black Snake, the commission is... to assassinate the noble Alte Mercury during the coming-of-age ceremony of 'Nevernight Fire Apricot'."
"Pfft!"
After hearing the content of the commission, Black Snake collapsed to the ground.
"Assassinate... the princes and nobles!"
"And they assassinated the prince and nobles in a public place!"
Black Snake covered his face and almost wailed: "I... I don't know anything."
"No, you know," Lin Yu said calmly, "Not only do you know, you also have to 'leak' this matter at the right time."
