Chapter 134: The phone that almost hung up
On the third floor of the police station, Stephanie sat in her seat, not glancing at Donald.
She's got a little emotion.
It's a bit too much to go to the port all day and go to other places without saying hello when you come back.
Just ignoring it, her ears were still pricked up, listening to Donald's account of the situation when she went out to sea.
"Oh, at that time, the Oswei Sea Viper, more than ten meters high, threw its tail on the deck, and knocked away several aliens on the spot...... Do you know how dangerous it is, but luckily I thought of something at the time that made me burst into a very strong fight. ”
Donald glanced at Stephanie, who was still bowing her head next to her, and deliberately changed the content of the story.
"What do you think of? It can't be some of your mentor's teachings to you back then or the battle with such and such a monster before, it's an old routine among knights, and it sounds weird and boring. ”
One of Susanna's few hobbies is to read all kinds of knightly stories, and there are many similar literary works in this era.
"Of course not, what I thought of was this, the new winter product of Egger Bakery, colorful fruit pie, how could I die at sea if I didn't eat this once?"
He took out the bag from under his chair and handed out the colorful fruit pie inside, which Donald had bought on the road, thinking that it didn't seem good to buy only one of his own servings, so he simply bought one for everyone.
"Stephanie, I specially let them add more strawberries to your portion, how about it, try it and see if you can melt those little bumps in your heart. ”
Putting the special fruit pie in front of Stephanie, she said with a smile.
"Humph......"
Stephanie snorted lightly, but obediently opened the outer packaging of the colorful fruit pie, and the corners of her mouth inadvertently brought out an upward arc.
"Can you tell me about anything important that has happened in Dmingham lately? I've been on the Auschweer Sea for almost a week, and the news is quite late. ”
The benefits were given, and Donald naturally had to collect some interest back.
"The first whale oil-powered airship will be tested in more than half a month, and the scene will definitely be bigger than the last test run of the sea train on King's Sparrow Island, and I heard that not only the mayor of Demmingham will attend, but also people from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance will also attend. ”
The first to speak was Pence, with a yellow peach in his mouth, half of which was exposed.
"The government has gained control of the airship industry?"
"Of course not, this trial run is an air negotiation between the government and the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, before the Tate family had an accident, the original Chamber of Commerce Alliance was going to be greatly damaged, but the result was not only turned into safety, but also by the way to the government, the sea train test run on the day the government suddenly announced the disadvantage caused by the airship control in one fell swoop back a lot, and now it is a balance of power, I think...... Some talk about it. ”
The airship industry is too big a cake for the government and business alliances to give up, even if one side is bound to lose in the end, it will make the other party pay a large enough price.
"Hmm...... It has nothing to do with us anyway, is it related to the aliens? ”
Donald deliberately leads the conversation to Storm Gonytz.
"Yes, there was an accident in the land area, last night we were notified to go on a special mission overnight, there was a big battle in the land area, according to eyewitnesses, I saw a large number of azure silk threads shuttling on the roof, this is a man's stunt, guess...... Forget it, you seem to have only come to Demingham this year, I don't know, let me tell you directly, one of the warring parties is likely to be one of the four kings of thunderstorms that year, Storm Gaoniz. ”
The battle was so loud that the initial gunfire alone alarmed the nearby residents, and the Anomalies Bureau naturally received the message as soon as possible.
"Fight with Storm Goniz in the land area, are the people on the other side on our side?"
It was a dominant-level wizard, and against such an existence head-on, the only force that Donald could think of was Demingham's Anomaly.
"No, the battle was over when we got to the place, and the whole battle didn't last too long, at first there were gunshots, so it was reported to the police station, and then there was a strange investigation bureau that notified the outrage. ”
"Who won?"
Donald had a vague hunch that he wanted to get confirmation from Suzanne's mouth.
"I don't know who won, Storm Goniz should be dead, in the houses on both sides of the street someone saw an old man die in the storm, if nothing else, it should be Storm Goniz who committed suicide...... Don't ask me why he killed himself, I don't know. ”
It is unbelievable that a dominant-level wizard should take the initiative to end his own life.
What can force a dominant-level being to death?
Donald couldn't figure it out.
In fact, he cared more about another thing, if he had a few encounters with him before, it was the Storm Goniz.
What is the identity of the two people next to him, Nancy and Wilder.
Thunderstorm's former cadre?
Did the two of them die in that battle with Goniz or did they escape?
Don't get me wrong, Donald doesn't care about the lives of these two people, and he doesn't have too many regrets about Goniz's death, let alone sadness.
In the end, the relationship between him and the other party is just a request for money.
Donald's feelings are not so rich, in fact, he is now worried about the two of them if they are still alive, and then get involved with him.
Rather than caring about their current situation, Donald actually wanted these two to disappear.
Disappearance in every sense of the word is fine.
After all, he had met with Storm Goniz a few times in the past, and this kind of thing was small or small, big or big, and it would be troublesome if some people were to hold it and be regarded as a fellow of Gonitz.
With this mood of gaining and losing, Donald seemed a little absent-minded all day long, and Stephanie came over to ask him if he had anything on his mind, but he prevaricated with the fact that he had just gotten off the boat and his body had not yet adjusted.
"Instead of waiting, let's find a way to confirm and make a decision. ”
As it was time to leave work, Donald looked at the mist of freshly brewed coffee from the teacup on his table, and finally made up his mind.
I made an excuse to leave the police station and go to a public phone booth on a nearby street, and dialed the number that had not been used for a long time.
Toot ~ Toot ~ Toot ......
After waiting for about 5 seconds and no answer, Donald felt a lot more relaxed.
"In this way, it should be dead. ”
Fingers pinched the phone line, looked at Finger who was lying on his vamp and looked up at him, and muttered to himself.
This made Donald breathe a sigh of relief.
The phone is removed from the ear and ready to hang up.
Donald Grant ...... You've finally reached out to me. ”
A woman's hoarse voice came from the phone, Donald was a little strange, and Nancy had barely spoken much in the previous meetings.
Is she waiting for him to contact her?
Why did she wait for him to contact her?
The hand hanging by his side clenched suddenly, and he looked away from Finger, looking at the number buttons in front of him, and the cold light flowed in his eyes.
"I just heard from a friend from the Alien Investigation Bureau about what happened in the Lu area, and I want to ask ......."
"Gonitz is Gonitz. ”
A strange sentence, but Donald understood the meaning.
"Oh......"
With a deep sigh, Donald suddenly didn't know what to say next.
"I want to see you. ”
The other party's words reached Donald's ears through the microphone.
"See me...... Do what. ”
Perhaps Donald didn't feel it himself, his tone was a little dry, and his gaze unconsciously stayed in the phone booth.
"Goniz asked me to find you, 9 o'clock, where we last met, don't bring anyone else. ”
"I'm not ......"
Click~
The phone hung up.
"That's a bit rude. ”
A busy tone came from the microphone in his ear, and he hung up the phone casually, and Donald slowly returned to the police station, and it was almost time to leave work......
"Donald...... Donald?"
Stephanie's call woke Donald from his contemplation.
"Huh?"
"It's time to get off work, why don't we go to dinner later? ”
Stefanie wore a dark velvet coat and did not wear a scarf.
With his neck, a little whitish from the lower temperature, he could faintly smell perfume.
"Not tonight, huh...... I mean, I've got something to deal with, I got some stuff from the island and I've got a friend to appraise it, I'll have to pick it up later. ”
Blurting out a refusal, Donald noticed that the other members of the team were staring at him as if they were notching, and immediately gave Stephanie a look.
"Well, you go to your friend's in the morning without even saying hello to us, it should be something very important, then let's talk about it another day. ”
As a companion, even though Stephanie is now full of doubts, she still does not hesitate to help Donald play the round.
When the team left the police station, Stephanie followed Donald for a while, and the others were not surprised, in their eyes, Stephanie and Donald's relationship was not ordinary, which was known for a long time, but Burns's mood was always a little low.
"I have something to attend to, there's someone I have to meet, and you can take Lilo with you later, and go on both sides of me...... Forget it, it's not safe, I'll go to the land area, and you guys are waiting for me on the side of the bridge against Tallinn. ”
On the side of the street, the three of them stood very close, and Donald wanted them to follow, but then he thought that if the other party himself was not malicious, he doubted his motives because he was taking the others there.
It may be a self-defeating situation.
The other party let himself meet at the cusp of the storm, and the possibility of wanting to kill is still a little low in Donald's opinion.
After all, he can't be regarded as having a grudge against Gonitz and Nancy.
