Chapter 701 Stork Is a Woman?
Kingsley didn't answer directly but slowly explained, "My father has an old friend named Mason Parker. Back then, Jonah Lawson, the head of the Lawson Family, hit him in the back of his head with a steel shovel, causing him to lose his memory. Since then, he has been in a muddleheaded state and is currently living like a nomad."
The more Lancer listened, the more confused he became. "So... Are you planning to make Boris lose his memories too?"
"Of course not," Kingsley shook his head and said, "But Mr. Parker's situation inspired me. I can use ancient medical techniques to damage Boris' brain and make him lose his memory."
Upon hearing that, Lancer suddenly realized the other's plan. "I understand! You want to release the amnestic Boris so that the spies lurking around can resume their activities. That way, we can follow the clues and catch them all."
Lancer cupped his fist, admiringly saying, "That's a great idea. Ares, your strategy is truly amazing."
"Don't praise me too soon," Kingsley pondered and said, "First, let's figure out why Boris suddenly changed his mind just now!"
Lancer concurred, "Agreed. I was confused as well. He had already decided to confess, but why did he suddenly change his mind?"
With his hands behind his back, Kingsley moved around slowly and asked, "Do you remember the last sentence he said before changing his mind?"
Lancer supported his chin with one hand and recalled. "He seemed to say... you must keep your promise and release Mr. Kelly."
"No, that's not it," Lancer denied his words with a shake of his head and said confidently, "I remember now! After he said that sentence, he asked again, 'Will you really release Mr. Kelly?' That was the last sentence he said before changing his mind!"
Afterward, Kingsley frowned and muttered, "These two sentences are about releasing Mr. Kelly... Mr. Kelly, also known as Stork… What's the mystery inside those two sentences that made Boris see through my lie and know that we haven't caught Stork?"
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Kingsley paced around, carefully thinking about what might be the loophole.
At this moment, Lancer spoke up.
"Ares, what if Mr. Kelly is not a young man but an old man? Boris only mentioned that Stork's father is the head of the Guido Club, but he didn't mention how old the head of the club is! If the head is over eighty, Stork must be at least sixty years old! A sixty-year-old man… but that doesn't make sense..." © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Upon hearing that, Kingsley was suddenly enlightened.
A burst of light flashed in his eyes instantly.
"Your line of thinking is half correct!" Kingsley stopped and analyzed excitedly, "Stork is indeed not Mr. Kelly, but Miss Kelly. Stork is a woman. That's how Boris realized we were deceiving him!"
"Stork is a woman?" Lancer was shocked. "We never considered that possibility!"
When he mentioned that, he suddenly shivered as if he remembered something, "Ares... I thought of something."
As he spoke, he rubbed his arms and brushed off the goosebumps on his body.
"Recently, Kenny's men have been lurking near Thinking Cup Coffee, waiting for Stork to appear." Lancer's expression became strange.
"But they hadn't had any luck until yesterday. From what they reported back, the strangest person around Thinking Cup Coffee is the owner of the coffee shop. She seems to have no interest in her shop's profits and would rarely go there."
Lancer gulped and continued, "At first, I thought her main job was being the hotel manager of Jadeland Heights, so it was normal that she rarely appeared in Thinking Cup Coffee. But now that I think about it, if Stork is a woman, then Xaria Heart, the owner of Thinking Cup Coffee, is the most suspicious suspect."
