After Being In Prison For Five Years, I Mastered Every Nefarious Ability - Chapter 14

Seeing Carl’s relaxed smile, Armstrong could not help but feel relaxed.

“Not bad, kid. You found out so quickly. What has he been busy with recently?”

Carl had not answered, but Li Zhuo smiled. “In fact, he didn’t find out so quickly. He found out long ago.”

Hearing Li Zhuo’s words, Armstrong and Carl turned to look at Li Zhuo.

However, Armstrong’s face was full of doubt, while Carl’s face was full of surprise.

“What do you mean?” Armstrong raised the question in his heart.

Seeing Armstrong being so direct, Li Zhuo muttered in his heart that this guy was really an idiot in all aspects except gambling.

Li Zhuo looked at Carl again and smiled. “In the minute after he entered the room, I heard the keyboard tapping sounds were very frequent and regular.

“However, after a minute, the keyboard tapping sounds became irregular. You should know what this means, right?”

Carl’s expression became more and more strange, as if someone had exposed something. Even his breathing seemed to have stopped for a moment.

Armstrong, on the other hand, still had a puzzled look on his face. After being stunned for three seconds, he replied, “what do you mean?”

“…”

“…”

Alright, he was indeed an idiot. Li Zhuo and Carl could only stare at Armstrong. They did not know what to say.

In the course of a transaction, it was clearly just an equivalent exchange. However, if one party was too relaxed when completing the transaction, the other party would often feel that they had lost out.

Carl just did not want Armstrong to know that he only needed to spend one minute to earn this ten million.

“It’s nothing. It’s not important.”

Li Zhuo did not intend to explain anything to Armstrong. Instead, he turned to Carl and asked, “so, what did you find out?”

Carl saw that Li Zhuo did not mention the previous matter again. He also let out a slight sigh of relief. “I found some interesting things, such as… Putnam’s online shopping records.”

“Online shopping records? What did he buy?” Armstrong was slightly stunned. He did not expect to spend a huge sum of money to hire Carl to investigate, but only to find some online shopping records.

Armstrong already felt that he had made a loss by paying so much money. However, Carl’s next words made Armstrong change his mind again.

“Knives. He bought a lot of knives, all kinds of knives.”

“…” Armstrong was silent for a moment. He now felt that his 10 million was worth it.

Putnam was actually secretly buying knives online behind everyone’s back?

What did he want to do? Armstrong did not dare to think about it.

He was even a little worried that he might be cut open by Putnam while he was sleeping one night.

Although Putnam had been in Section S for a long time, Armstrong suddenly found that he knew very little about Putnam.

Putnam had been known as a man of few words ever since he entered Section S. He even rarely communicated with others.

Most of Armstrong’s understanding of Putnam came from some rumors in the criminal circle.

Proficient in all weapons, able to kill any target perfectly, killing without the slightest hesitation. This was the entire description of Putnam in the criminal circle. Other than that, there was no more information.

“So, that guy wants to kill me?”

“I can’t rule out this possibility.” Carl still looked relaxed, and he was even in the mood to tease Armstrong.

Armstrong swallowed his saliva, and a hint of panic appeared on his face. For Armstrong, if such a monster became an enemy, it would be a very terrifying thing.

After all, he was just a gambler. No matter how much money he had, it was won at the gambling table. He could be said to be ignorant of other aspects of technology.

In his situation, facing a world-class killer, there was absolutely no chance of survival.

“What should I do now? If he really wants to kill me, I’m dead for sure!”

“It’s not like there’s no way out.” Carl shrugged his shoulders and continued to joke, “maybe before he kills you, he’ll propose a bet with you? If you win, you’ll live or something.”

“Really? Then I’ll definitely bet with him on poker. This is what I’m best at.”

“…”

“…”

Li Zhuo and Carl looked at each other in silence.

This guy was really an idiot!

This guy must be an idiot!!

This was obviously a joke. Why would this guy take it seriously!!

The two of them were silent for a moment, but they saw Armstrong mumbling nervously, “no, no, this can’t go on. I can’t continue to wait for death like this.”

“What do you want to do?”Carl looked at Armstrong in confusion.

“I have to ask Henry for help,” Armstrong gulped and said.

With that, Armstrong hurried forward as if he was going to leave the place.

Hearing this, Li Zhuo was slightly stunned.

Ask Henry for help? Did this mean that he wanted Henry to make the poison and then seize the opportunity before Putnam made his move?

Li Zhuo was about to say something, but Carl took the initiative to move aside and let Armstrong leave the corridor.

Li Zhuo watched Armstrong walk away, then he leaned over to Carl’s ear and asked curiously, “aren’t you on good terms with Putnam? Aren’t you worried that he wants Henry to make a lethal poison to kill Putnam?”

“He won’t do that. That guy has never killed or hurt anyone.”

“Ah?” Li Zhuo was stunned again.

“At the welcoming ceremony, didn’t he say that if I didn’t find evidence of him cheating when I rang the bell, he would chop off my hands?”

This detail clearly showed that Armstrong was a very brutal guy.

However, Carl had a stifled smile on his face. “Those, those were all his bragging. In order to make others not dare to say that he cheated easily. In fact, he hasn’t even held a knife before. He’s a real softie.”

“…” At this moment, Li Zhuo felt that Armstrong’s persona had completely collapsed.

While he was in a daze, Li Zhuo noticed Carl looking at him with a wicked smile. “Leader, I think this matter is quite interesting. Let’s follow him and take a look.”

“Hey, hey, hey, why are you calling me leader?”

“Aren’t you the leader of the Investigate what exactly did Putnam bring to the S District Task Force?”

“…”

How did you manage to accurately recite such a long and random ass name?!
