In the month of fire, spring quietly goes away, and the air begins to faintly appear restless, the shade of the mountains and fields fades to show greenery, the flowers grow in the gorgeous, and the warm sunshine gradually becomes hot and hot; The summer breeze wanders lightly on the earth, and the expanding heat wave is mixed with a hint of coolness, and drifts to the unknown distance with the dream.

Every afternoon, the bustling streets of Montrés are filled with a lazy atmosphere, the steam of the blazing sun, the shrill and sharp chirping of cicadas echo for a long time, and the body and mind seem to be caught in the damp heat and sweat.

"Hey, buddy! Did you hear that? Killed Claydo the other day. Ochie's mysterious murderer forced his way through the pine forest pass and escaped from Monteres. ”

In the corner of a simple and elegant teahouse, a sweaty man sits on a chair and pours down a bowl of cold green bean soup, the most popular drink in summer seems to free the man from the heat and boredom at once, wipe the sweat from his forehead and exhale the heat, and the man provokes the topic to the friend across the table.

"Hey—who doesn't know about that." The friend's tone was slightly disdainful.

"It seems that the guy knows a lot, I've been busy preparing for going to sea these days, and I don't have time to inquire about this matter, a lot of things are told by others, why don't you tell me about other things?" The man was not angry at all because of his friend's attitude, but asked with great interest.

⊙Hehe, I do know a lot of information, but it's just ......," the friend smiled ill-willedly.

"Gotcha! I'm in for a treat at the Red Gull Tavern tonight! The man understood the meaning of his friend's revelation very well, and then said boldly and generously.

"Deal!" The friend smiled with satisfaction: "If it weren't for the fact that I had a buddy in the Security Department, maybe I wouldn't know a lot of inside information like you." ”

"Say it quickly!" The man urged urgently.

"You know what? According to my buddy at the Sheriff's Department and I were drinking. Kill Claydo. Ochie's murderer is likely to be with poisoning Brentin. The same guy in Gotch. The friend glanced left and right at the people around him. Pretending to be mysterious to the man. "And the other party seems to have a great connection with the murderer who wanted the document."

"Wouldn't it?!" The man's eyes widened in disbelief.

"How do I know. It's all speculation within their Sheriff's Office. The friend shrugged and said, "Since the incident of forcibly breaking through the pass, the military chamber has intervened. ”

"Good boy! I'm so sorry for that murderer to be targeted by those cold-blooded guys in the military chamber, and I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night if I were to do it. The man stammered.

"Tsk, don't forget about Jì, you can kill Claydo. Could Och's man be a simple guy? The friend shook his head. Although my buddy in the Sheriff's Department said that Claydo. Aoqi had been poisoned before he died, but a character like him is not something that ordinary people can kill lightly! Don't forget how many bounty hunters who tried to turn against him four years ago failed. ”

"Hmph. If it weren't for our Monteres to back him up, I wouldn't think Claydo. Ochie can live until now. The man said disdainfully.

"That's right! Anyone who offends us Montreis will not end well. The friend nodded in agreement.

At the same time, a blonde man sitting at another table shook his head and chuckled, then stood up and walked towards the door, where a carriage slowly drove to the door.

De Witt picked up a thin stack of texts placed on the seat of the carriage and carefully browsed them, and the smile on his cold and mean face grew, as if he had found something particularly interesting.

"Mr. Lowell, you are indeed not a simple man...... Unfortunately, this time you have met a cunning and shrewd hunter, and I hope you will be lucky enough to escape his pursuit. ”

Today. It is the day when the underground auction begins.

……

……

"Lord Ansel, we have traced the source of the original flow of money into the market of Montreis!"

In the office of the Department of Public Security.

Ansel listened to his deputy's report with a solemn expression. The corners of his mouth hooked a cold arc, he tapped lightly on the table, pondered for a moment, and said, "Is the specific situation interrogated clearly?" ”

"Yes! According to him, the foreign currency was provided by a young man in a black robe with an ordinary and white face when he bought alchemy utensils. The deputy standing in front of him took the interrogation materials in his hand and said solemnly: "Although Aufuri never saw each other again, he provided a very important clue that a little boy acted as a guide when he led the young man to his stall to buy utensils and materials, and if we find the boy, we may be able to know more about the mysterious young man." ”

"What about the clues to the sources of other currencies?" Anse El said in a deep voice.

The deputy stepped forward and put the information in his hand on Ansel's table one by one and said: "Inspector, this is the investigation report of the Anemone Hotel, this is the Single trading market, this is the currency to Huàn merchants, and this is the ...... of scattered merchants in other areas."

After Anse El had read the documents in front of him one after another, the deputy, who had been observing his words, said in a timely manner: "Although there are many of these investigation reports, the most valuable ones are the investigation reports of the Anemone Hotel and the Single Trading Market. When Gochi entered the port, he moved in with three people that night, and there was no doubt that he was a mysterious young man from his appearance; And the latter is Brunding. The source of the circulation of a large amount of foreign currency after Gotch's death, but so far we have not found out who used these currencies behind the scenes! I suspect that a large number of these traders seem to be hiding something! ”

"Hehe, we all know how deep the water is in the Singhle trading market, it seems that I will need to go there myself." Anse El snorted coldly.

"The detective is out of the horse, I believe he can definitely get his hands on it! After all this hard work, we can finally expose the true face of the murderer! The deputy said excitedly with a slight flattery.

"Thanks to the old gentleman of the autopsy for the reminder! Otherwise, we almost fall into the misdirection of the other party's thinking. ”

Anse El got up and stood in front of the window, his fingers fiddling with the blinds that blocked the sunlight from the outside world, staring at the scorching scenery outside the window with deep eyes and whispering: "Besides, since there are people from the military chamber who intervene in the pursuit of the mysterious four people who broke through the pass, we can take this opportunity to thoroughly investigate the clues of the mysterious young man, but I didn't expect that in the end we really found decisive evidence, I am sure that the other party must still be in Montreus!" ”

"Detective, the strength of the other party cannot be underestimated, even if we find the other party, I'm afraid there will be a situation where the strength is not enough." The deputy pondered and worried.

"I'll inform the hall master of this point, and I won't disturb the other party lightly without being sure!" Ansel said with a cautious expression. "Later, you continue to follow up on the clues, and after you come out of the director's office, I will take a trip to the Single trading market."

"This ...... Detective, it suddenly occurred to me that there seemed to be an auction inside the Ingle trading market today. "Off-hand.

"That's just right! I've been hearing about the auctions in the Singhle market for a long time, but I didn't expect to see them today. Ansel turned around and smiled lightly, "When does the auction start?" ”

"After nightfall." The deputy reminded: "Detective, if you want to enter the auction, you need an invitation letter. ”

"Invitations? Isn't my Inspector's name as an invitation to me? Joke! Ansel said with a cold face in an instant.

"This ...... Detective, you can't do anything stupid! The deputy hurriedly said.

"Who said I was going to do something stupid! Don't worry, I have my own way to get into this auction! "Ansel is confident.

In front of a quaint manor house facing the sea, De Witt slowly stepped out of the carriage, he looked up at the dazzling sun, felt the scorching sea breeze, and couldn't help but sweat a little.

Knocking on the door, a moment later, the figure of Bernie the butler appeared on the cobblestone road in the distance.

"Mr. DeWitt, you're here."

Bernie, who had come to greet him in person, opened the door and greeted him politely.

"You know I'm coming today?" DeWitt smiled.

"Yes, for Mr. Lowell has instructed me to be ready to await your arrival at any time." Butler Bernie Road.

"Hehe, how does the new master of the service feel?" Skirting the fountain in the middle of the road, DeWitt walked seemingly casually.

"Mr. Lowell is a very principled and generous and mysterious master, and at least the servants of the manor are very welcoming." Butler Bernie Road.

"I think you're welcoming Mr. Lowell's money, right?" DeWitt teased.

"No one would say no to money, would they?" Butler Bernie replied with a smile.

"Tell me how you really feel about him these days." DeWitt put away his frivolity, his face regained and he said indifferently.

"He is kind on the surface, but in fact he is cold and arrogant, and he acts mysteriously, and he is often nowhere to be seen, but what impresses me the most is his wife." Butler Bernie took a deep breath and said: "Although his wife behaves like an ordinary lady, her own temperament is very indescribable, and every time she faces her, she can't help but tremble in her heart. ”

"Oh? And such a thing? Dewitt was stunned.

"You'll be able to see Mr. Lowell's wife later, and you'll understand what I'm saying."

Before they knew it, the two came to the door of the villa, and the long-awaited servant opened the door to greet the two, and walked through the hall corridor, and in the luxurious living room, DeWitt saw a couple of men and women sitting on the sofa not far away.

He and her seemed so ordinary, so ordinary that it was full of disobedience. (To be continued......)
