Metal Ranger of the Endless Plane

Chapter 92: Helena's Commission

Upon being reminded by Lu Yuan, Yanzi also found that he had spoken shallowly. Although their business is considered legal, they are in a gray area after all. It is not a smart thing to talk so grandly with an outsider who has only met a few times.

Swallow, who knew he hadn't said anything, shut his mouth, picked up a thick European travel guide, and pretended to look at it.

Helena's attitude towards Swallows has recently eased a lot, and there is no tit-for-tat antagonism between the tip of the needle and the wheat in the beginning.

[Neither did it at all, it was just the host's illusion! ] The system commented on this.

Lu Yuan didn't bother to compete with the system, and continued to concentrate on the conversation with Helena as if he hadn't heard it. After hearing Swallow’s explanation, Helena was surprised but thoughtful. After a while, she hesitated and said, "Then your labor fee is very high?"

As soon as Lu Yuan heard this, she knew that she should have something to help herself. He glanced at the swallow who was still gnawing on the book, and when he saw her, he pretended to have heard nothing. Then he smiled and said to Helena, "This is not necessarily The charges are definitely different for different cases."

"Do you have anything to investigate? If you don't mind, let's listen, and then we will talk about the quotation." Lu Yuan was embarrassed to not ask for money in front of Yanzi, but his words were almost equivalent to free help. .

When Yanzi heard the words, the big eyes hidden behind the thick copperplate paper book couldn't help but give Lu Yuan a blank look, but he didn't say anything to stop him. In fact, she is now also curious about what the detective can do for the college sports student who is a part-time tennis coach.

Helena bit her lower lip lightly, looked up at Lu Yuan's friendly and slightly curious eyes, took a deep breath, and said with a slight embarrassment, "Actually, I really want to ask you to help me."

Seeing that she was a little cramped, Lu Yuan hurriedly stretched out his palm to signal her to continue. Even the swallow at the back of the book stopped turning the book, pricked up her ears, and listened intently to her explanation.

At Lu Yuan’s gesture, Helena continued, “That’s right, I want to ask you to investigate a man named Turner Newman. I want to know what this man does, where he’s been, and why he’s back now. Los Santos."

"Most importantly, I want to know if he is what he said, my sister's uncle."

"Your sister's uncle? Isn't it your uncle?" Yanzi, who was hiding behind the book, poked his head out and asked.

Although Lu Yuan patted her arm lightly, beckoning her not to be too rude, but looking back at Helena's eyes are still full of doubts. Obviously, Swallow's problem also puzzled him.

"That's it," Helena smiled awkwardly, "I was adopted by adoptive parents. The couple is the kind of family that specializes in adopting children. In addition to me, they also adopted other children. The sister I just said. Is one of them."

"My sister's name is Elizabeth Kent and her nickname is Liz. About ten years younger than me. According to my parents, I mean my adoptive parents. According to them, Liz's biological parents were involved in a bombing nine years ago. Lost his life."

Hearing this, Yanzi couldn't help but whispered softly, as if asking a question, but Lu Yuan grabbed it and motioned her to finish listening before asking.

Seeing Lu Yuan signaled herself to continue, Helena hurriedly continued, "At that time, the child welfare agency could not contact Liz's other close relatives, so it was adopted by my adoptive parents."

"But recently, this man named Turner Newman suddenly appeared and said that he was Liz's biological uncle. He had not adopted Liz because he had been working overseas. Now he is back and wants to move with little Liz more recently. I go to my adoptive parents very often."

After speaking, Helena took a deep breath again and said slowly, “I don’t want Liz to be with her family. If he is really little Liz’s uncle, we will all be happy for her. But, I always think that person has a problem, so I want to ask you to check it out."

"Um, I don't know how much you charge for this kind of business?" Helena smiled awkwardly again.

Lu Yuan waved his hand and said, "Don't mention money first, I have some questions here, I need your help to explain."

"You ask."

"Well, first of all, what happened to the bombing nine years ago? Love killing? Vendetta killing?"

"Well, aren't you a local? It was the bomb attack that occurred in the shopping mall in the city nine years ago. Many people died, among them many children. Little Liz is the only orphan surviving." Helen Na said in surprise.

Lu Yuan nodded slightly. After signalling the system to help inquire about the relevant information, he did not follow up the question, and continued to ask, "Okay, then this Turner Newman, did you ask to adopt Liz back?"

"No." Helena sighed slightly, "He will go to see Liz from time to time and play with her for a while, without any other requirements. And little Liz does get along well with him."

Having said that, Helena's mouth twitched awkwardly, and said to Lu Yuan embarrassedly, "Do you think I'm making a fuss? Just an orphan, how can there be a bad person so much energy to get close to her? , What can you get?"

"No, no, it's hard to say!" Yanzi said hurriedly, "You don't know how many weird things exist in the world, so you can't let your guard down!"

Lu Yuan glanced at Yanzi, not knowing whether she was talking about the strange things she had encountered in her childhood, or who she was talking about, but he nodded in agreement.

"Yanzi is right. Don't jump to conclusions until the matter is investigated. Anyway, you are also out of concern for Liz. This is not wrong."

Immediately Lu Yuan asked, "Besides, don't you know this person's information? Where does he live, where does he work, and does he have a wife or children?"

"He should live in a rented house outside. Work should have a high degree of freedom, but he will work 24 hours a day when he is busy. As for the family, he should not. He probably spends most of his free time. Come to see Liz."

Helena's voice became less and less, and obviously she also felt more and more that even if this person had some secrets, at least he was really attentive to Liz.

"Well, the last question!" Lu Yuan was unaffected. After thinking about it, he continued to ask, "What is the attitude of your adoptive parents to him? Beware? Surprised? Helpless?"

"Um, sympathy?" Helena said uncertainly, "Sorry, I moved out with a few sisters when I was an adult. Some things are really not easy to say.

However, I asked my father what would happen to him if the person were to adopt Liz. He said that although he would be a little bit disappointed, he still supported Liz to return to his real relatives. "

Lu Yuan nodded and turned to look at Yanzi, indicating that she has no other questions, and see if she has anything to add.

Yanzi tilted his head for a while and then asked, "How old and what does that person look like? Do you have a photo?"

"Yes!" Helena hurriedly took out her mobile phone, fiddled with it for a while, and showed them a photo.

The two of them took their cellphones and took a closer look. They saw a blond little loli and a sturdy middle-aged man with gray-brown hair sitting on a square table together for a tea party. Little Lori is holding a small teapot and symbolically pours tea into the mini teacup in front of the middle-aged man.

As for the middle-aged man, his sturdy cheeks were covered with the vicissitudes of time. There was a deep sadness in his eyes, but the look at the little Lolita was more complicated. In addition to the harm of grief, there seems to be a deep love and deep guilt.

But looking at the face of the middle-aged man, Lu Yuan's heart turned upside down.

{Sixth brother, am I right? This, this is Vegard? }Lu Yuan asked the system uncertainly.

[Vegard, the archer on the plane of Nin, does have an almost identical face, but this person is much more melancholy and vicissitudes of life than Vegard, and he is also a few years older than Vegard. The hair colors of the other two are also different, and it is certain that they are not the same person, at least not for the time being. 】

{what? temporary? What do you mean? } Hearing the systematic explanation, Lu Yuan's doubts not only did not decrease, but increased even more.

[This kind of thing is not uncommon in interplanetary travel. In different worlds, there may be two people with exactly the same blood relationship, or two people with exactly the same personality, or even two people with exactly the same experience. 】

[Of course, unless it is a parallel world, there will hardly be people with different world lines, but people with exactly the same blood, personality and experience. ] The system said plainly.

Hearing the system said that it was not uncommon, Lu Yuan temporarily suppressed the uncertainty in his heart, and looked up at Yanzi.

It didn't matter to look at it, but he found that the Yanzi at this time, eyes filled with tears, stared straight at the person in the photo.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment, and suddenly realized that although this person was exactly the same as Vegard in appearance, but in temperament, he was far from the calm archer. Instead, he had a face of vicissitudes and bitterness.

This kind of temperament is more similar to someone Lu Yuan has heard. That man is the adoptive father of the swallow, a white-haired demon hunter.

At this time, Lu Yuan hurriedly rushed to Helena, who was overwhelmed, gave a calmer look, turned around and held Yanzi's hand, looked at her eyes, and hugged her in her arms.

Let her calm down for a while before Lu Yuan took the phone from her hand and returned it to Helena. At this time, the swallow finally recovered from the memory, wiped away his tears, and smiled embarrassedly at Helena, "Sorry, just laughed."

Seeing Helena shook her head, she was curious and stared at the two people inexplicably. Lu Yuan squeezed Yanzi's hand quickly and motioned to her to choose whether to talk to Helena.

Yanzi didn't hesitate, and said directly, "This man reminds me of my father. He used to look like this, as if the whole world owed him money! I'm sorry."
