Chapter 48 Visit
Towards four o'clock in the afternoon, when an action wagon returned to the Traveler's Bar, the gloomy weather had improved, and the sun had finally shown its head.
Cliff got out of the wagon with two boxes of ammunition and returned the heavy fire with Joyce and Arlin.
Guarding the secret artifact, the sword of the thief also has to go into the vault.
The three Cliffs looked hurried and did not greet anyone else.
In fact, before the three of them came back, the carriage went to the homes of the three of them separately and sent cigars, porcelain, and tobacco and coffee back first.
Twelve rounds of two daggers and two quick loaders, Joyce left, and after setting up the heavy firepower, he went from the arsenal to the vault, and did not go with Arrin to the vault to return the guardian artifact.
"I took a lot of money, so it's better to keep a low profile. ”
Joyce decided to stay in the vault for a while before going out, despite having already agreed with Cliff and Arrin.
Unlike Yarlin, Joyce's attitude towards the Iron and Blood Society has not loosened, but he knows that his catty and his own catty are two, and if the Iron Blood Society no longer commits crimes, on the surface, he will not be able to make a big deal against this gang anymore.
"The salary of the Military Intelligence Department is barely enough to meet the income standard of the middle class, but it is a fat water yamen, which is a lot of money in the open and in the dark!" Joyce entered the volume warehouse, and did not lock the door.
With a good start, Joyce feels that the days when money comes in the future can also be looked forward to.
"The girl who seems to be receiving the Iron Blood Firm, it is not simple, not only is she a secret person, but also opened seven secret veins, although she has brought heavy firepower today, but in the case of not making up her mind to go to war, once there is a conflict, I am afraid that I will suffer a big loss. Joyce sat down at the table and took a deep breath.
Not only the girl in the suspender dress, but even Sean Redmay, the head of the Iron and Blood Society, was faintly restless with a secret aura, and was also seen by Joyce.
"The capital of his lower body is not small, he looks a little hideous, and he feels that it is not the same as the secret qi, and there may be some kind of mutation. "When Joyce thought about Sean Redmay, she thought of her left eye.
After Joyce left the Iron and Blood Firm, he watched through his left eye, and Sean Redmay was furious in the meeting room.
"Buzz!"
It took half an hour for Yarlin to enter the vault, see the key tray inside the door, and twist it to lock the heavy metal vault door.
"Joyce, this is the case of the disappearance of the street girl you wanted, and related information. Arrin handed a file bag to Joyce, who turned around.
"Where did you go, Director?"
Joyce asked Arrin as she opened her portfolio.
"I gave the director a paper bag, told him about the three of us going to the Iron and Blood Chamber of Commerce to investigate, and told him that he had not found out the results for the time being, and he had to continue the investigation. A smile tugged at Arlin's face.
The Commissioner agreed with the outcome and agreed to follow up on the investigation. Joyce took out the file and deliberately put the word action more seriously.
"I guessed right, the director expressed his support for beating those gangsters, and made it clear that the three of us can continue to contribute to related matters. "Yarlin has no intention of exclusivity.
"I guess the director has taken a fancy to your ruthlessness. ”
Joyce was playful at first, but as she read a few pages of the mission file, her expression gradually became solemn.
"The director has been in this position for three years, and I think he may consider making a move, and if he doesn't leave, there will be little chance in the future, and he also needs a Jin Luo foundation to make points. Yarlin's laughter was more frank.
"In the past month, there have been more than 80 cases of disappearances of women in Lunsu City, including the street girls, and on average, more than 10 a week. Joyce said with a slight squint in her eyes.
"This is just a summary conducted by the Lunsu Police Department, and there may still be some that have not been counted. Yarlin said this, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
"Today, we went to the Iron and Blood Firm, and mentioned the continuous disappearance of the street girls, and it is estimated that the situation of the Iron Blood will be able to restrain slaves. Arrin motioned for Joyce to relax, as if the three of them had done a good thing.
"What do you think it's a slave smuggler?, what about the picture of a gray-skinned and flabby-skinned woman that Palemi showed us?" Joyce secretly jotted down the home addresses of several of the missing women.
"I've been to the Iron and Blood Firm, and the matter is here, and it should be over. Arrin looked at Joyce and said.
"You care about this kind of file?"
Joyce returned the file to Arlin, and it seemed that he was no longer too entangled in the issue.
"I'm a full-fledged member of the squad, and the escrow contract and file are deserved, but you're not the same as Cliff. Arrin straightened his back.
"Can you move the bar? You and I had better not get too close. "Joyce didn't want to make it so obvious to the small circle of interests.
"The house across the side of a small street, which was originally in the department, is now also a bar, and it doesn't even need to be renovated, so I can move if I say I can move, and I have found an opportunity to mention it to the director in the past two days, but the archives room cannot be moved. Arrin smiled as she spoke.
"This guy can drill camp!"
From what Arlin said, Joyce could tell that he wanted to push the matter and arrange for someone to do the relevant contract work at the bar and take over the management of the bar.
"What do you think about the Iron Hand?"
Yarlin asked about the big boss, and going to Iron Blood today made him have a lot of follow-up expectations.
"Then it depends on how much you can know, Iron Will be protected, I believe that Iron Hand will also have a background, as far as I am concerned, more is better than less, my own situation is not good, I can't afford to offend so many people at once, after all, I am a newcomer who has just joined the action team. Joyce said honestly.
"It's a little too anxious, I just know that the Iron Hand Society has a relationship with the Knights, but the specifics are not clear, I will inquire about it in the past two days, and the woman of the Iron Blood Society, and the madman Anderville. Yarlin became a little cautious.
Getting the key disc back, Joyce didn't stay with Jarlin for too long, and the two discussed it and walked out.
"I didn't look at the mission file today!"
One thing Joyce didn't say to Arrin was that he didn't have that much time and energy to deal with gangsters with strength and background.
"Joyce, is the mission going well today?"
At the bar on the first floor of the bar, Nellie Novia had already taken up her evening shift, smiling at Joyce.
"Fortunately, at least there is no danger, Miss Nellie, I haven't eaten for a day. Joyce remembered that Teresa had made an appointment to let him and Elena go home for dinner in the evening, but when he went back to deliver something, he changed his mind and greeted the white-haired girl.
"There's sweet potato beef stew, and fish soup, why don't you give Elena a too?" Nellie took the public's food as a favor, and she was not stingy at all.
By the time Joyce nodded in gratitude, Elena had already come from the second floor after work.
"Let's have dinner here, and let's go for a walk after eating. Joyce smiled and gestured to Elena.
"Didn't you already promise Teressa?"
Elena thought Joyce had forgotten and reminded him that no-shows were not gentlemanly.
"I went home in the afternoon and spoke to Teressa. ”
Joyce took Nellie's Prido beer and took a sip first.
"Joyce, you don't want to drag me to the pocket watch shop, do you?" Elena looked at Joyce with a wary gaze, dissatisfied that he was in too much of a hurry.
"I see that you don't even have a date, so I can help you relieve the pressure of older adolescence. Joyce muttered in her heart, of course, not to say it.
Joyce thinks it's nice to be able to eat a working meal at MI without having to cook it herself.
"Looks like a couple!"
It wasn't until Joyce and Elena left after dinner that Nellie Novia brought out the essence of gossip.
"Joyce, tomorrow is Saturday, so I don't have to wake up early. Out of the Traveler's Bar, Elena, who naturally held Joyce's arm, said to him happily.
As an official member of the Einsatzgruppen, there are two days off every week, and not only Elena, but Joyce does not have to go to work for two days after the minute, unless there are special circumstances.
The reason why Elena said it when she came out of the bar was to take care of Nellie's feelings.
"Go to Miner's Street, no, it's still 46 Riverside Street. ”
Joyce called a rental carriage, and just as Elena was about to say something, he changed his tune to the coachman.
"What are you going to do?"
Elena, who got into the car, asked with a little confusion.
"You should know that I have taken on cases of women missing one after another, so I want to know some information. Joyce said this with a hidden hesitation.
"Any progress?"
Elena knew that when Joyce and the three of them left at noon, they had taken heavy firepower, and they couldn't help but worry before.
"Nope. ”
Joyce replied stiffly, the reason why he didn't choose where the victim of Miner Street lived was because it was not far from where he and Elena had lived before, and it was easy to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
The carriage departed from the city center and headed for Riverside Street in the Sok district, where Joyce and Elena began to smell fish.
The Antar River runs through the city of Lunsu, not only in Sok District, but also in the districts of Burjohn, Knight Frank and Moya, there are streets close to the riverbank, but the difference is that there is a fish market pier on the riverbank street in Sok District, where the smell of blood is very strong, and the environment is not very good.
"Sir, 46 Riverside Street has arrived. ”
The carriage traveled less than twenty minutes and stopped outside an apartment on the edge of a dirty street.
"Please wait for us outside for a while. ”
Getting out of the carriage, Joyce motioned for Elena to give the coachman three copper buruns.
Entering the apartment, the hallway was very dark and there were a lot of items, and it was quite difficult for Joyce to walk with Elena.
When he came to the second floor, the door of a room was open, and Joyce's vision was far beyond ordinary people, and he saw a little girl standing in the door, her right hand could not be opened like a chicken claw, and she was constantly trembling.
"Grandpa......"
The little girl was too timid to make a sound, but kept muttering.
A cold wind blew through the open door, apparently through the open window.
