Chapter 24: Chronicles of the Old Town
On the other side, Lloyd and the others began to deal with the task immediately after You Tatsumi left. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yesterday, while working on a task, some not-so-pleasant memories appeared. First, a spy named Rector runs around with Cross Bell, and then by chance encounters a blood-stained Shelly, Ellie is brutally rubbed on her chest.
Lloyd could only hope that today's work would be a little more reliable.
Sure enough, today's work has resumed the daily style of the Support Division, and it is all simple and easy work. Even though the police headquarters was greatly renovated, the chairperson of the Amendment Department insisted that the support section maintain its own style. However, no one will call it a "faux guerrilla" anymore.
That's it.
After breakfast, the engineering team contacted by Lloyd came, went upstairs and began to renovate Lloyd's vacation, with the section chief here, Lloyd and others could handle the task with all their might.
Lloyd felt for the bullet in his pocket that had been twisted by the force of the impact, and remembered the touch.
The clay figure also has three points of fire, and Lloyd was sniped inexplicably, so naturally it is impossible to be in a happy mood. Moreover, the fact that the other party used such a large-caliber sniper rifle is enough to show his danger. It is too dangerous to indulge such a guy in Crossbell.
Thinking of this, Lloyd was even more determined to grasp the idea of grasping this person.
Everyone began to deal with the task, and suddenly, Noelle was called out by a communication, as if there was something going on at home, although Noelle wanted to distinguish between public and private, but was gently persuaded by Lloyd, and finally went home.
The people who act together today are Ellie, Lloyd, Vincent and Waji.
Having dealt with the task with ease, Lloyd led the team to the Old Town.
Crossbell was once known as the magic capital, and naturally it was mixed, and since it was so chaotic, according to the snake road, there were naturally a number of shops that specialized in dealing with these mafia.
That's exactly what happened to a shop in the Old Town.
When I opened the door, I was greeted by the heavy smell of metal and engine oil, the peculiar smell of firearms.
The exchange shop [Nainwari], an ordinary shop jointly run by a mother and son, has a variety of jewelry, drinks, food, and medicines on the first floor, which looks very normal.
However, there is a strong smell of firearms.
This is where Lloyd was repeatedly admonished by Dudley after joining the Search Section.
The shop has dealings with the dark forces of Crossbell. This is the so-called "underground exchange".
Legend has it that with enough credibility and money, you can get anything here.
The proprietress was tidying up things on the edge of the cupboard, and when she heard someone coming, she didn't look back. I don't seem to care if the other party is here to buy something.
"Boss, I hope you can help me see this."
Lloyd ignored the kid at the counter, ready to do business.
I've heard Dudley say that the child is in charge of the ostensible exchange shop, bartering. And the mother is the real manager of the underground store.
Hearing Lloyd talking to her, the proprietress finally turned her head and looked at Lloyd, and after a while, she waved her hand a little impatiently: "What are the police doing here?" Arrest someone? ”
"No, there's something I wish you could see."
Lloyd showed her the bullet in his palm, and the helpless look on the proprietress quickly faded. She also understands that a bullet of this specification has seriously touched the bottom line of the freshman Cross Bell.
In order not to let herself be suspected, she decisively changed her attitude. It's time to get on business.
"This is a bullet that was discontinued by the Mogner company, and the production code at that time was supposed to be TH-335. It's not something that money can buy. ”
The proprietress looked solemn, spread her hands out and made an innocent gesture, and before Lloyd could speak, she preemptively said, "We can't get this kind of bullet that has been discontinued here." ”
The proprietress immediately pushed her own responsibilities away.
Lloyd smiled wryly, realizing that the proprietress had mistakenly thought that she had come to trouble her.
"No, actually, ......"
"Actually, our captain was sniped yesterday. Do you know of anyone who has any way to get their hands on this bullet? ”
Ellie immediately interrupted Lloyd.
As sharp as she was, she immediately understood what Lloyd was trying to say.
Probably trying to explain: we're not here to question your sentence or something, right?
I want to appease the anxiety of the proprietress . It's a very Lloyd-esque approach, but it's stupid. Because the leaders of this kind of underground world are all cunning and cunning existences. Now she cooperates because she is afraid of the newly reconstituted Cross Bell. If she knew that everyone did not have the support of the Speaker, she would start to worry that the owner of the sniper rifle would trouble her, and when the time came, it would be even more difficult to ask for information.
So Ellie took the initiative to take over the conversation.
Moreover, she did not lie, indeed, Lloyd was sniped.
In many cases, depending on the information given to the other party, the truth can also have the effect of fraud, and it is precisely because it is the truth that it is easier to deceive people.
The proprietress looked even more grim, smuggling contraband and attacking the police with contraband, which strengthened her determination to wash herself.
She knows the methods of the Speaker after he came to power, don't look at his young age, decisive killing, and tough methods. Coupled with the vicious dog of Karuman in his hand, he is probably the person who the evil forces of Crossbell want to get rid of the fastest now.
If it weren't for the fact that the brain-sick bodyguard next to him was really powerful, this kid didn't know how many times he had died.
In order not to let Xiu catch her handle, the proprietress honestly told the information she knew.
It's similar to what You Tatsumi analyzed yesterday.
Once the bullet is discontinued, basically no one will use it anymore, especially this oversized bullet.
Not to mention deliberately stocking up on some bullets and keeping sniper rifles, specifically to snipe Lloyd.
The same is true of her conclusion.
"So, have you heard about the Red Constellation moving into Crossbell?"
Suddenly, Waji interjected.
With an expression of fear that the world would not be chaotic, he asked questions with great interest.
“…… Indeed, there are heard. There were probably more than fifty hunters stationed there. The location is not known for the time being. ”
Because of the atrocities of the Speaker of the Amendment, the underground forces on all sides have strengthened their control over intelligence. The red constellation entered Crossbell for such a big thing, and the proprietress got the news yesterday.
It's Ellie.
Lloyd looked at the gray-haired girl beside him, and secretly congratulated himself that he had such a good companion. If it were me, I'm afraid I would let the proprietress escape.
However, he didn't get much information, which still disappointed Lloyd.
Although he didn't say it, it was true that he began to fight against Yu Chensi. I want him to see how he's progressing.
Without getting more news, everyone could only leave the exchange shop with emotion. The sky was a little overcast, and it seemed like it was going to rain.
As soon as everyone took a few steps, a rough and vicious voice stopped everyone.
"Hey! Stop me...... Bastard ......" (To be continued.) )
