On the table in the study, the black tea served by the handyman maid was still steaming.

Joyce sat back in a leather chair, and the bookshelf behind him contained a number of women's publications, as well as romance books, apparently left by the owner, Sophie Aque.

After sitting still for a while, making sure that no one would come in again, Arlin's anxious look gradually became impatient: "Joyce, what are you doing today?"

"Temptation?"

Joyce knew that there was something wrong with Arlin, but the other party's question made him a little helpless.

"I've been reading the mission files all night, and I have to rest during the day, don't forget, I just came out of the hospital, do you want me to die in the middle of nowhere?" Joyce pouted and smiled.

"The director didn't say anything, the key is that time and things don't wait for anyone, we've been going to Gerald Manor for some days, and since we checked the Iron Blood Firm, we haven't moved on the Iron Hand Society. Yarlin first soothed, and then said that things should be hurried.

"If it's Miss Chacaroline's disappearance, I can help, but I'm afraid it's going to be a big deal. Joyce thought for a moment and gave a clear answer.

"Why, you weren't scared in the Flame Tender Ballroom before, and now tell me you're going to stop? Arrin didn't expect Joyce to say that, and his expression was a little unhappy.

Joyce took a sip of black tea, and then sighed a long time: "Yarlin, a lot has happened these days, as a newly turned member of the special task force, I am not in the same situation as you, a newcomer has made so many things in the wind and rain, I can't say anything anywhere, unless I'm crazy!"

Arrin looked stunned, but quickly cast a surprised look at Joyce.

"When the Commissioner sees me now, he is always going to breathe, which means that he is already dissatisfied with me, and if I don't know how to restrain myself, it will be looking for death, even if there is no Director, I have to pay attention to other people's opinions. Joyce shook her head, flinching a little.

"I was a little reckless. ”

I understood what Joyce meant, and after thinking about her own situation, Arrin began to understand.

In fact, Joyce had such thoughts, mainly because of the vague disdain of Teresa when he received the gift just now.

It's true that the white-haired girl Teresa is beautiful, but Joyce doesn't have any beautiful misunderstandings just because she moved in with her.

After all, Teresa is still there to spy on Joyce and Elena, and the protection has to be in the back row.

Working in the MI is also terrifying, Joyce has nothing to do with it, and his family background and ability are not good, so he must be careful and scrupulous.

Gold Groce is a good thing, but it can't be carried away by greed, Joyce can think that no matter where he works, a newcomer who has just joined the company will definitely cause dissatisfaction with others.

"Let's slowly mix into an old bird!"

Joyce made up her mind that she had to stop the big thing, at least not to make a mess like the Flame Tender Ballroom and the Mage Tower.

"In this way, I'll find out what the director means, if he says that the gang will be investigated to the end, it doesn't hurt for us to do things normally, the director was still very resolute before. Yarlin also became cautious.

"Is there any news about Miss Caroline's kidnapping?"

Joyce knew that this matter was more urgent, after all, it was about Miss Caroline's personal safety, and if there was a follow-up interest in this matter, it would be at this golden time.

"Baron Svanco Gerod, who has intervened through the Rensu police station, has not found Arnucci Andwell or Miss Caroline. Yarlin whispered.

From Arlin's statement, Joyce could sense that he had a follow-up arrangement and arrangement for Miss Caroline's abduction, but it seemed too late to intervene.

"Baron Gerald probably couldn't bear it after hearing the news, if Arnold Andrwell disappears like this, it will not be a bad thing for us, I am really a little worried, once I go to find someone to have a conflict and hurt Miss Caroline, after all, the news is sent by us. Joyce said this, but there was some doubt in his heart.

Tying up the young lady of the aristocratic family is not a trivial matter, Joyce is more thinking, what is the motive of Arnold Anderville, under normal thinking, it is very likely to be for money, but revenge is not ruled out.

"Didn't Baron Gerald receive a ransom or anything?" Joyce glanced at Arling.

"It is now certain that Arnochie Andwell kidnapped Miss Caroline, but there is no information of any further value. Yarlin deliberated, apparently not giving up on profit.

"Not to mention that Arnochie Anderville may leave Rensu City, even if he stays here and hides, it is not easy to find, and if there is no clue, you can only take your time, unless the military intelligence intervenes in the abduction, or you have some good solution. "Joyce realized that things were troublesome.

"The Rensu Police Department is one step ahead, and the gangs controlled by Arnold Anderville near the gladiatorial arena will not be much more oil and water on the surface, but I want to be involved in gambling and the business of those who control gladiatorial fights. Yarlin's statement surprised Joyce slightly.

In the case of Miss Caroline's abduction, the key to finding Arnold Anderville was crucial, but Arrin was clearly planning something else.

"I'm not interested in gladiatorial arena-related things, and I can secretly help out if I need to. Joyce thought about it solemnly.

"I watched it myself. ”

Arrin smiled, he didn't think Joyce wasn't interested, he just wasn't in a good situation, he had to keep a low profile.

"I have something to ask you for here. ”

Joyce smiled when he noticed that Arrin was looking at the box of herbs without asking.

"I don't know if the matter of the title deed of the Mage Tower, can Frankie handle it, if he can get the money, the house on the herb street will be decorated, you know a lot of people, help prepare it." Later, Joyce showed a slight sense of meaning.

"Rest assured, there will be no unfavorable remarks. ”

Arrin understood what Joyce meant, and smiled lightly.

"If you have time to take me to the underground trading market, I still want to see if I can buy a secret item for self-defense, and you can also help me sell the cigarette coffee and porcelain or something." "Joyce had the intention of raising money.

"Including this?"

Yarlin finally mentioned the withered gastrodia on the desk.

"I'll have to keep the herbs for myself, but there's a piece of silk, and I'll let Elena take it with you later." Joyce was sneaky.

Arlin's face twitched slightly, and he looked at Joyce as if he were looking at a ruthless man.

"Have you found out the identity and background of that mechanic? I wonder why Rupert Sr. was killed. Joyce's words changed sharply, and his expression was extremely solemn.

"Joyce, I think you'd better ask Old Bolton about this, I just heard from the Commissioner that the mechanic is a three-vein secret person, and the specific origin is unknown. Yarlin didn't expect Joyce to bring it up.

Joyce, who was staring at Arrin, seemed not very happy with his response.

"In short, it's better to be careful, not only Teressa, but also the people in the department, I think the death of old Rupert is nothing more than two possibilities, maybe he has something valuable, maybe he has some secrets, but as far as I know, old Rupert is only a three-vein secret. Although Yarlin reminded Joyce, the sense of crisis was not very strong.

"It seems that what kind of past Rupert Sr. has is the key, and Arrlin asked Old Bolton what someone should know. The reason why Joyce asked Yarlin was also tentative.

"I have other things to do, so I'll go first. ”

Seeing that Joyce was preoccupied with the death of Rupert Sr., Arrin got up from his desk and said.

"Hmm. ”

Joyce nodded and followed Arrin out of the study.

"Elena, go and bring the cigarettes, porcelain, and silk for Arrin, and, don't forget the lamp. Joyce looked down on the second floor, but didn't see Elena, and immediately shouted.

"It's too ruthless!"

When Yarlin reached the first floor, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he faced Teresa reading a book in the living room.

Despite Elena's reluctance, she tossed everything out and took it with Arrin.

Joyce, dressed in overalls, packed up and went to the basement with her things after Arrin left.

In fact, Joyce still had things to ask Arlin, such as his concern for Frankie the coachman, and what he got from the Mage Tower's military intelligence, but these things were not suitable for a one-brain inquiry.

"Looking at the current situation, it's not like you've always been able to get into the Golden Luo, and it's clear that you can't make things happen anymore. The basement door was locked, the gaps and vents were closed, and Joyce sat cross-legged on the stone slab in the darkness without lighting the light.

"What did old Rupert leave behind?"

Joyce calculated when he would be able to go to the cemetery to investigate the speculation about the strange number in his head.

Carl doesn't drive the slimeberry tree fly to watch these days, but Joyce doesn't think the old Rupert thing is over.

"Would you like to ask Elena directly?"

Joyce was a little worried, in addition to giving Elena a mysterious trait and helping her become a secret cultivator, whether old Rupert also left a clue similar to a strange number in her mind.

If anything, Joyce was afraid that Elena would not be able to bear to show her feet.

"There's still a lot to do, 46 Minute Street, I haven't been to the Rose and Sword Fighting Gym yet, marksmanship, fighting and reactions, I have to practice, and the mysterious properties of the cursed centipede in this locked coffin have to be dealt with. Joyce took off her silver necklace and pondered silently.

The reason why Joyce asked Arrin to take him to the underground trading market was mainly because of the consideration of dealing with the mysterious properties, and buying the secret artifact was just an idea of his.

After disposing of the mysterious properties of the cursed centipede, Joyce announced that he had absorbed the mysterious characteristics and became a secret cultivator.

But if you think about it, it is not so easy to deal with the mysterious properties of the cursed centipede, and once it is known that he has sold this mysterious property, it will definitely arouse suspicion.

Joyce must have been reluctant to throw it away in vain, not only the mysterious properties of the cursed centipede, but also the few fragmented seeds that he had buried in the maple forest behind the mage tower, and the mysterious properties of the emerald green liquid.
