Chapter 42: Steward Keri

There's a task you want to delegate...... I'm afraid you're in the wrong place...... The security company's brand is really just a brand......

Hearing the words of the comer, Klein suddenly held back a full of complaints, and only hated that there were no forums and barrages to communicate with.

However, he quickly remembered that he had asked something similar, and the captain's reply was, if there was a free time, why not take it, and the money earned could be used as a small treasury for the team and the benefits of the participants.

Luo Shan's eyes rolled, and she thought for a moment and said:

"Our security personnel are all out on duty, and it will take at least an hour to come back at the earliest, so if your matter is not urgent, you can consider it. ”

Of the six official members of the Nightwatch, Captain Dunn Smith was invited by the Bishop to the church, and Leonard Mitchell was guarding the "Chanis Gate" for him.

"Corpse Collector" Frye and "Sleepless" Luo Yao Ryting have gone to the Golden Sycamore District to cooperate with the police department in investigating a theft case with sectarian elements, while another "Sleeplesser" Cohenley White is on a rotational break, and another "Midnight Poet" Siga Teang has gone to the "Raphael Cemetery" on the outskirts of the North District for daily inspections.

And the remaining two extraordinary, the elder Neil is getting older, his body is weak, and he hasn't been on a mission for a long time, and Crane is still a beginner, and he is a half-in all respects.

"It's not ......" The tall thin man with gray sideburns and an umbrella turned pale, took off his hat, bowed and saluted, "Excuse me, take my leave." ”

He turned around and walked out the door, and in the sound of the rain and the howling wind, he walked up the stairs to 36 Zotland Street.

"It's not a coincidence. Roshan sighed regretfully as he watched the gentleman leave.

Although the commission obtained will not have her share, it is definitely indispensable to share a big meal.

"No way, Chanisgate must be guarded at all times. Klein put down his knife, fork and spoon in contentment, and drank even the puree of turnips and vegetables that he didn't like very much, "Do you want Bright to go on a mission?"

Luo Shan rolled her eyes and said with a smile:

"Bright can't, but you can, our 'soothsayer'......"

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly woke up and hurriedly shut up, because the door had not yet been closed at this time, and if someone passing by or visiting outside heard about the extraordinary, it would be a leak.

"It's good that the captain isn't here......," Roshan looked at the door and stuck out her tongue secretly, "or I'll have to repent again!"

Bright and Crane laughed at the same time, looked at each other and began to clean up the dishes.

After all this, seeing that the rainstorm did not stop, Klein, who did not bring an umbrella, chose to stay in the "Black Thorn Security Company".

He grabbed a newspaper, sat down on the soft and elastic sofa, and took a leisurely "lunch break".

"The airship route from Beckland to Desey Bay opens ......"

"'Detective Manson' has been compiled into a book, and it will be published soon......"

"Advertisement for the Laugras Arms Shop?1 standard revolver with 6 rounds, 3 pounds 10 soles, a double-barreled shotgun 2 pounds......"

......

Klein flipped through the "Tingen City Honest People" and suddenly found a piece of news:

“...... The criminals who killed Mr. Welch and Ms. Naya have all been caught, and it is believed that the atmosphere of panic that has spread in the North, Sycamore and East districts will be greatly eased...... Welch's father, Mr. McGovern, a banker, escorted the body of his youngest son back to Conston City for a solemn funeral......"

After reading it several times, Klein suddenly sighed:

It seems that Welch's father had believed the police's claims and did not bring in another private investigator to investigate......

His feelings about losing his youngest son must not be as sad as my father and my mother losing their only child......

The mood was low, and Crane sat there without moving for a long time.

As for the fact that Welch and Naya did not invite him to the funeral, he did not find it strange at all, nor did he feel depressed.

Wait until everything settles down, and then find an opportunity to go to the graves of the two of them and offer a bouquet of flowers...... Klein was about to take a nap in the break room when there was a sudden knock on the door to the reception hall.

"Please come in. Little by little, Roshan's head suddenly sobered up.

The hidden door was pushed open, and the tall, thin man in a formal suit with gray sideburns walked in again.

"Can I wait here for a while? your mercenaries, no, the security personnel should be back soon, right?" he asked earnestly, trying to hide his anxious expression.

"Yes, you can sit there for a while. Roseanne gestured to the couch next to her.

Klein asked curiously:

"Where did you hear about our security company, and who introduced you?"

So much so that you make two trips back and forth in the middle of the day on a heavy rainy day, and are you willing to wait?

Well, it must be that the members of the Night Watch team have solved the difficult tasks in the eyes of others very easily, and have accumulated enough prestige in this industry......

The tall and thin man leaned his umbrella against the door, and as he walked to the sofa, he replied with a wry smile:

"I've visited all the mercenaries on the streets, uh, security companies, and private investigators in the neighborhood, and only you guys have hope here, they don't have anyone else to do with it...... Frankly, if it weren't for a food delivery waiter, I wouldn't have thought there was a security company here. ”

...... It's not at all what I thought...... Crane was stunned.

Roseanne interjected and asked:

"They're busy? so many tasks?"

The tall, thin man with gray sideburns sat down, sighed, and said:

"You're a mercenary squad, no, security company, you should have heard of the burglary and murder in the Mansions neighborhood, right?"

Howles Neighborhood ...... Burglary and homicide ...... Well, unfortunately, I'm one of the parties...... Crane nodded a little heavily:

"Yes. ”

"Because of the viciousness and cruelty of the criminals, the rich people in the neighborhood, and even in the whole city of Tingen, were afraid, and in addition to increasing their own guards, they also hired a lot of additional security personnel and private detectives, so that there was a clear shortage of manpower in this industry. The tall, thin man replied in a clear and coherent manner.

Standard Chain Reaction ...... Klein and Roseanne glanced at each other, both seeing the self-deprecation on each other's faces.

The security industry has entered a "golden age", and Black Thorn has no feeling here, which shows how failed this company is.

Of course, in a sense, it also proves the hidden success of the Night Watch Squad.

After waiting for more than 20 minutes, seeing that the rain was about to stop, Klein was ready to pack up and leave and go to the "shooting club" to practice the revolver.

At this moment, Leonard Mitchell, with black hair and green eyes, came out of the partition and looked at the sofa suspiciously:

"Who is this?"

"Principal, is the captain back?" asked Rosanne delighted.

"Come back?" the tall and thin man was stunned.

I'm just sitting here, staring at the door, how come I didn't notice anyone coming back?

Luo Shan's expression froze suddenly, and he hurriedly smiled:

"As a security company, we don't just have the front door. ”

"Understood. The tall and thin man nodded abruptly.

As for the title of captain, he didn't find it strange at all, the security company was a former mercenary squad or a small mercenary guild, and it was quite normal for a "captain" to appear.

Leonard's white shirt was not tied up, and the black vest was also draped casually, he glanced at the tall and thin man, and suddenly snapped his fingers and said:

"I'm Black Thorn's security guard, what do you call it, is there anything you want to entrust?"

Perhaps he had heard of the unruliness of the "mercenaries", but the tall and thin man was not angry at being insulted, but was relieved.

He watched Leonard sit down and organized the language:

"My name is Kerly, and I am the butler of Mr. Vikroll, a tobacconist, and his only son, Little Elliot, was kidnapped this morning, and we have called the police and received enough attention, but Mr. Velcroll is not at ease, and I hope that through the channels of your mercenaries, uh, security personnel, and your knowledge of Tingen, we can investigate from another direction to ensure that Little Elliot is rescued safely. ”

"If you can find the kidnappers hiding place, Mr. Vikroll is willing to pay 100 pounds, and if you can manage to rescue young Master Elliot, he is willing to double the reward with a one-time payment of 200 pounds. ”

Leonard Mitchell smiled leisurely:

"Mr. Vikrol seems to want only us to find the kidnappers where they are hiding, otherwise he would not have thought that his only son was worth only £100, and that the tobacconists, who had close ties to the southern plantations, would not have been worth £200. ”

"No, Mr. Vikroll is just an ordinary businessman, not a rich man, and, in the matter of rescue, he believes that the police department is more professional. The old butler Keli replied calmly.

"Okay, no problem. Leonard snapped his fingers again.

His turquoise eyes looked at Roshan and said:

"Beautiful young lady, please draw up a contract. ”

"Don't always assume you're a poet, in fact, you're only reciting other people's works. Roshan was used to taunting Leonard, forgetting that there were guests there.

Of course, Black Thorn Security doesn't care about any client, it's good if there is, and it doesn't matter if there isn't.

Roseanne left the reception desk and entered the clerk's office, and the sound of a click sounded immediately.

The corners of Klein's mouth twitched, only to think that they were too unprofessional.

There is no standard, ready-made contract!

"It's a really sad thing......"

"And what's even sadder is that I'm ...... in such an unprofessional company"

As he thought about it, Rhona drew up a contract that was so short that it was only a few terms, and had Kerley and Leonard Mitchell sign it respectively.

When Kerry had stamped it, she took the contract, went into the accounting room, and asked Mrs. Oriana to get the seal of the "Black Thorn Security Company" - this seal was almost useless, Dunn usually gave it to Oriana for safekeeping, and on Sundays, he gave it to Rosene and the others.

"I am waiting for good news from you. Taking one of the contracts, the butler Kerry stood up, took off his hat and bowed.

Leonard didn't respond, and was silent for more than a dozen seconds as if thinking about something.

He turned his head abruptly, looked at Klein, and said with a smile:

"I need your help. ”

"Huh?" Klein froze.

"I mean, it's up to me to do it with you. "I'm good at fighting, shooting, climbing, sensing and chanting, and doing some support, but not finding someone, you don't want old Neil to go out in this weather, do you?"

When he said "induction", his voice was so muffled that it was impossible to hear at all.

"Okay. Klein had the urge to try new "skills" and a little wary of Leonard Mitchell.

Whew, hope it can be done smoothly...... I don't know how useful my "soothsayer" abilities can be...... He thought with some anticipation.
