Chapter 102: The Truth About the Fool
"Why, I heard you answer Caitlyn's call. Bailey's voice was rough and brute.
"Damn, don't learn me to speak. Bailey kicked Fake Bailey in the back. "Fake Bailey" snorted, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground and passed out.
"Mayor Soros will never allow you to mistreat prisoners. Bailey's voice again.
Bailey grabbed the "fake Bailey" from the ground, slapped his face vigorously, and warned viciously: "Don't think that if you play dead, I don't know that you are learning from me." β
"Wait a minute. Eric stopped Bailey's behavior, "his mouth didn't move. β
"It didn't move. "This time it's Chiko's voice
"That's not what I said. Chiko quickly explained, and at the same time, she and Caitlin immediately alerted to the situation around them.
"My gun!" Chiko found that her matching gun was missing as she reached for her waist.
"Here it is. "This time it's Eric's voice.
"The voice is in the car. Eric jumped onto the snowmobile's container.
"Not good, littleβ" Before Caitlyn could finish her sentence, Eric had already jumped into the container, and then crouched there motionless like a frightened rooster.
"Detective, you're too impulsive. "This time it's Caitlyn's voice.
At this time, Mayor Soros, who was originally tied up on the container, was now pointing a gun at Eric's head, and Chiko could see at a glance that the one in his hand was his "Colt" M1911 matching gun.
"Hello, Holmes disciple. "This time it's Soros's own voice.
"I didn't expect the mayor of a wilderness town to be able to juggle such ventriloquism, it was an eye-opener for me. There was no fear in Eric's voice, but there was a clear sullenness in it.
"It's nothing. I was originally a street kid, and it was these juggling that kept me alive. Soros laughed.
"What, Mayor Mare, you!" Bailey hadn't recovered from the shock, "haven't you been in town all along?"
"Oh. Grand Officer Bailey. Soros didn't even glance at him out of the corner of his eye, "I've just been the mayor of this town." β
"W-What does this mean?" Bailey looked confused.
"Do you see that? Soros stared at Eric with a mocking look on his face.
"If I'm right, there should be two Soros too. Eric said hatefully.
"Two Soros?" Chiko didn't believe at first, but when she saw two identical Baileys, no matter how much she couldn't believe it, she could only accept it.
"One Soros has been training outside for many years, and the other is in control of the situation in the town. Eric said word for word, "Maybe the fool we are looking for is not alone. β
"Isn't the fool alone?" Caitlin frowned, but then it dawned on her that the fool might be two Soros.
"It's a family, a sub-family of the Puffer family. Eric stared into Soros's eyes, ignoring the muzzle of the black hole in his head.
"A family?" Eric's answer was far beyond Caitlyn and Chiko's imagination.
"What are you talking about?" Bailey was completely confused, he couldn't understand how he was on his way to becoming the town's hero of tomorrow, and suddenly got involved in a family feud with such a stupid name as "Fool".
"Remember that small town population record?" Erik explained, "Every family in this town has a fixed occupation, the owner of the bar is always the owner of the bar, the person who delivers the vegetables is always the delivery of vegetables, and the mayor of the town is always the mayor." β
"How can this be proven?" said Soros with a laugh.
"If you could be a general, would you be willing to be a soldier?" Eric sneered, "For this small town in Iceland, vegetables are a more precious resource than gold, but the town does not have any agricultural basis for vegetable crops, and all vegetable supplies are controlled by the town government, and you, the great mayor of the town, are in charge." β
"You mean I've been threatening the townspeople?" Soros said disapprovingly, "Bailey, do you feel the same way?
"When, of course not. Bailey stammered, not knowing if he could trust the gun-wielding mayor.
"Remember Miffy's wife?" asked Eric, "and a basket of vegetables for her to erase the traces of her own child." β
"I just don't want her grief to be contagious to the rest of the residents. Soros still speaks with a high sound.
"Very noble reasons. Eric said coldly, "A basket of vegetables covers up a murder." β
"So what. A nonchalant smile appeared on Soros's lips.
"Mayor Mare, do you know it's murder?" Bailey asked, puzzled, "Isn't it global warming?"
"Bailey, you didn't carry out my orders and hid the information privately. Soros said coldly, "Do you still need to ask me, but you're only a little smarter than those stupid residents." β
"You!" Bailey's expression changed sharply from a look of confusion to a kind of anger that had been deceived and fooled.
"Tear off the mask so soon?" Caitlin wanted to find a gap, but Soros seemed to know the way of an agent and didn't give her a chance.
"Tell me where the other Soros is, then?" asked Eric, "and what the hell are you doing here, and why are there exactly the same people here?" β
"Is it important to know this?" Soros pressed the muzzle of his gun to Eric's head, "You're under my gun right now, I've done what Felix's idiot didn't do, the Great Detective, Jefferson's daughter, the elite of the Special Intelligence Six, and the power of the new generation of the Nicholas School are all here." β
"You know a lot. This time, even Eric was taken aback.
"Do you think I like to be in this container?" Soros laughed, "although this woman with me is a natural stunner, and is very suitable as a carrier of our family bloodline. But unfortunately, if it weren't for a block of ice and rock, the bobsleigh wouldn't have broken down, and you wouldn't have gotten this far. β
"It turns out that the cup of tea was made by your hands and feet. Only then did Qianzi understand, and he suddenly hated itchy.
"I could have been your polite Mayor of Soros. Soros said in a tone of regret, "But the truth that this detective has been seeking has ruined all the good." β
"I don't need this kind of hypocritical beauty at all!" Chiko bit her lip, she swore that she would kill this hypocritical man with her own hands.
