After the auction, there was still half an hour before the banquet in the City Hall.
Hayashi River and the other two were sitting in a VIP lounge in the City Hall. Fowler took out a tea set and was making tea.
On the side, Mrs. Fowler looked at her husband with an infatuated look in her beautiful eyes. There was no trace of the previous expression of gnashing her teeth.
Lin Chuan looked at the room as he sat across from her. With his status as a clerk's assistant, it was impossible for him to occupy a VIP lounge like this. It was especially so when there were many guests at night. This sort of place was very popular.
From this, it can be seen that Fowler was very popular in the City Hall. To be able to do this, it showed his own ability.
Next to him, Fei Yu was surprised. She looked at Fowler's movements of brewing tea. His movements were smooth and natural, as if he had brewed the tea thousands of times before.
One must know that the art of tea ceremony has long been rare on the continent. Because of the years of war, this kind of self-cultivation thing, except for those ancient families, not many people would study it.
Fowler's level of tea brewing was not as simple as he said. He was already proficient in it.
As the fragrance of tea spread, Fowler brewed the tea and put it in front of Hayashi River and the other two, waiting for them to taste it with a smile.
"Such a small cup … …"
Harpoon muttered, took the cup and looked at it. Thinking of what he saw in the Chamber of Commerce in the North District, he pretended to take a sip and made a gesture of tasting the tea.
Unfortunately, his mouth was too big. He just opened his mouth and sucked, and the tea in the cup was gone. The White Bull Harpoon gurgled, and the tea went down his stomach. His mouth was filled with the fragrance of tea, but he felt very bored.
The bull's mouth wriggled twice, and Harpoon spat out two pieces of red tea leaves. He secretly put them in his palm and put them in the trash can.
He muttered in his heart, this small cup is not enough. Harpoon looked at the teapot and wanted to pick it up and drink directly.
Seeing this, Fowler's body trembled. He quickly picked up the teapot and poured another cup for Harpoon. Then he put the teapot on the corner of the table to stop White Bull's idea.
Hayashi River secretly laughed. Letting White Bull taste tea is almost the same as a cow chewing peony.
Picking up the cup, Hayashi River looked at the sparkling red tea leaves inside and drank it in one gulp, swallowing the tea completely.
As for the red tea leaves, he chewed them in his mouth. The tea leaves slowly melted and turned into a warm current that spread throughout his body. His pores also emitted hot air, and he actually broke out in a thin layer of sweat. He immediately felt his body become much more relaxed.
"As expected of the special tea."
Hayashi River praised.
Hayashi River had heard of this [Sea Flame Tea] before. It was a specialty of the White Nightmare Sea.
It was said that the leaves of the plants growing at the bottom of the sea near the volcano were dried using a secret technique and kneaded into a rare tea leaf.
It was not very useful for cultivators. It was mainly useful for dispelling dampness. It was very effective in dealing with the dampness in the Foka Pagoda.
Tasting it today, it was truly worthy of its name.
Fei Yu also took a sip, nodded, and casually talked about the effects of the Sea Flame Tea.
Hearing this, Fowler revealed a smile. He was very happy and nodded repeatedly. It was a happy thing for his tea to be praised by someone who understood tea.
Fowler immediately started chatting. This person's eloquence was just as Hayashi River had expected. Talking to him was really like a spring breeze.
Whether it was the way he spoke, the depth and breadth of his knowledge, or the control of the atmosphere, Hayashi River had to admit that Fowler was the most outstanding person he had met in his life.
This person's words revealed a sense of sincerity and purity. He was also very knowledgeable in all aspects. Even in the field of machinery, he could talk with Hayashi River and explain the profound in simple terms.
"My little sweetheart … this Foka Pagoda is really a crouching tiger and hidden dragon! He's just a small secretary assistant, but his words are so good … "
In the earpiece, the woman in the white coat couldn't help but praise. She muttered that if she was a woman, she would have a good impression of Fowler just by talking to him.
Fei Yu was silent. Her current identity was the representative of East Gold Company. She was on equal footing with Fowler, so she had to be careful when talking to him.
It was very difficult for Fei Yu to deal with such a master of words. After all, the more such a person was, the easier it was to see some flaws in her words.
At this time, Hayashi River started a new topic. "Mr. Fowler, you're responsible for assisting the secretary. You should have an impression of the destruction of the mechanical workshop in our Mechanical Hive some time ago. Does the City Hall have an answer for the specific clues?"
As soon as this topic came out, the atmosphere of the conversation became a little sharp.
Regarding the explosion case, the City Hall had made little progress in the investigation. It was almost to the point of giving up on the investigation. This was something that all the forces had tacitly agreed on.
Hayashi River's sudden mention of this topic, coupled with his identity, made people suspect that he wanted to investigate this matter to the end.
"Mr. Chuan. I won't hide it from you. The investigation of this case is not under the jurisdiction of the secretary, but the military. You also know the situation in Foka Pagoda. The city guards and the military are one family. So, I really don't have an answer for the specific clues. This is not an excuse.
"However, I personally have some opinions about the cause of this case. If the Mechanical Hive wants to conduct a thorough investigation, I think these opinions will be very helpful …"
As he spoke, Fowler briefly explained some of the suspicious points of the explosion case, pointing to three aspects.
First, the violence secretly planned by the West Peace Society.
Second, the local gangs of Foka Pagoda made deals with outside forces, which led to a conflict between a third party.
Third, the spies of the Sea Beast Army happened to see the secret deal going on in that block. In the end, in order to hide their tracks, the two sides directly blew up the place.
…
Fowler analyzed these three aspects personally, but Hayashi River, Fei Yu, and Harpoon secretly nodded in agreement.
The clues that the three of them had overlapped with these three aspects.
"Okay. If this case can be solved, I won't forget Mr. Fowler's help, "Hayashi River looked at Fowler and said.
In such a short time, he had to admit that this person was really a talent. Although the information showed that he had all kinds of shortcomings, this person was really a capable person.
It was beneficial for both sides to keep in touch with such a person.
Of course, Hayashi River had other thoughts in his mind …
Fei Yu also said that she had already forgotten about Mrs. Fowler looking for her that day.
"Thank you both." Mrs. Fowler bit her lip and thanked them with a smile.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and a huge figure walked in. It was Lieutenant General Fowler.
Behind Lieutenant General Fowler were Zhuang Chen and Yuya. He scanned the people in the room and said, "Fowler, as the secretary's assistant, you didn't make tea for me on such an important occasion. I, the commander, want to punish you! "
"Commander Fowler, why are you here!"
Fowler immediately stood up. He didn't care about Lieutenant General Fowler's threat and said with a smile, "You have so many social engagements tonight, why are you here for tea …"
"It's just that there are too many people, so I came here to relax for a while …"
Lieutenant General Fowler walked over and sat beside Harpoon. He pinched White Bull's shoulder and snorted, "This body can't make it! Do you want to join the army to train? I even saw your father White Beard today and talked to him about this … "
"Join the army?! Commander Fowler, please don't joke around. "Harpoon was so scared that his face turned even paler. His hair was trembling. This was purely due to fear.
"Kids nowadays really can't take hardships …"
Lieutenant General Fowler shook his head and didn't say anything else. On the surface, his relationship with White Beard was that they knew each other, so he couldn't appear too friendly.
The real reason why he suddenly came over was to see Little White Bull Harpoon. He hadn't seen this kid for a few years, and he really looked more and more like his father.
However, his white and chubby appearance was also becoming more and more like White Beard. This couldn't go on.
In the past, White Beard was also a fearsome bull in the North District of the Foka Tower. He also killed his way to becoming the president of the North District Chamber of Commerce.
As his son, he couldn't live like this. After all, he would have to take over White Beard's position in the future.
For a moment, Lieutenant General Fowler didn't say anything on the surface, but he was secretly worried. He raised his hand and gestured for Zhuang Chen and You Ya to sit down and have a taste of Fowler's tea.
When they heard this, Zhuang Chen and You Ya did not stand on ceremony. They quickly went forward and sat on Lin Chuan's left and right sides. They then cast apologetic smiles at Fei Yu and asked her to sit with Mrs. Fowler.
"Hmm …"
Lieutenant General Fowler was stunned. Only now did he notice the presence of Hayashi River.
