Chapter 70: Reinhardt
It took at least a quarter of an hour to get to Reinhardt's house, so the coachman charged Roddy ten pence as he was reasonably requested, and he looked a little impatient to see Roddy's distressed appearance.
Usually this distance meant that customers would choose the same carriage to go back and forth, which also left the coachman with a lot of time to attract new customers, but Roddy did not, and he chose to walk back on his own.
Therefore, Roddy's attitude towards the coachman can also be understood.
After walking a little to the house number, Roddy finally found his destination, but to his surprise, Reinhardt was still a fifteen-year-old child and was not at home, and it was his mother Jay who welcomed him.
"Hart should be playing adventure games with his friends in the abandoned warehouse to the east right now, may I ask Mr. Stitch what is the matter with him?"
Jay looked like a typical Crane and a typical housewife, as if she was pregnant with a scarf tied around her big belly, and her round face with freckles looked a little puzzled.
"Yes. Roddy smiled slightly, took out the daily newspaper of Reinhardt's newspaper from his breast pocket, and pointed out the report written by Reinhardt to Jay.
"This is a report written by Reinhardt, and I am very interested. ”
Jay looked at the newspaper and then at Roddy, faintly guarded, Roddy immediately realized something and hurriedly added:
"I am an assistant to Mr. Isad, the ace editor of the Kotar Daily, which is Mr. Isad's calling card. ”
Because Roddy was still a regular employee, he had to take out Mr. Isad's business card to increase his credibility, and when Jay confirmed the business card, his attitude changed significantly, and he took the initiative to talk about Reinhardt's situation, and prepared black tea for Roddy.
Roddy initially refused, but Jay prepared some more desserts, just in time for Roddy to skip dinner.
Hart's father was an ordinary newspaper editor, so Hart was also very interested in this area, he liked to play reporters since he was a child, other people's children played with wooden swords, he liked to read newspapers, hehe, after two years, he could also join the job after graduating from school on Sunday. ”
Jay looked at Roddy with some enthusiastic eyes, the meaning of which was self-evident, and Roddy had to try his best to haha, ambiguously replying with a match.
Judging from Jay's willingness to pay for Reinhardt's story to be published in the Kotar Daily, it is clear that she would very much like Reinhardt to join the Kotar Daily, but this is not something that an editorial assistant can help.
Half an hour later, Reinhardt hadn't returned, and Jay had already eaten up the dessert Jay's preparation, so Roddy stood up.
"Can you tell me where the abandoned warehouse is?"
Jay seemed to be a little unsatisfied, took a sip of black tea and said:
"At the 18th street of Tulip Street, you can see an empty abandoned warehouse at the end, but it is already part of the outer city, so you better keep your money bag safe, sir. ”
Roddy nodded in gratitude and left Reinhardt's house, which was now on Seventeenth Street, only one street away, so it only took him a few minutes to see the abandoned warehouse at the end of Eighteenth Street.
It's an exaggeration to say that it's an abandoned warehouse, except for some rust on the walls and some weeds on the open ground, it looks pretty clean, and the fenced iron fence looks very good.
The voices of some children in the warehouse could be heard, but because of the iron fence and the closed door, Roddy couldn't find a place to go in for a while, and just as he was about to climb over the wall to enter, a little boy in a small suit and a round felt hat came behind him and said coldly:
"There's high voltage electricity up there. ”
Slightly surprised, Roddy quickly stopped trying to turn over, thanked him and asked how to get in.
The little boy did not answer Roddy's question, and said with the appearance of a little adult:
"You're not a resident of Tulip Street, and you don't look like a resident of the outer city, or a thief or a scavenger, well... Judging from the fact that you're going to climb over the wall and go in, you're not from the Yodele foundry, who are you?"
"Huh. Roddy smiled, and put on the same deep face, and did not answer the little boy's question.
"You're Reinhardt, aren't you?"
The little boy suddenly looked a little guarded, but at the same time Roddy could feel his hidden excitement, so he said with some pride:
"I'm an assistant to Mr. Isad, the ace editor of the Kotar Daily, Rodi, and I read your report in the Kotar Daily, and Mr. Editor is very interested. ”
Reinhardt immediately showed the excitement that a child should have, but he tried very hard to restrain it, feigning to be calm.
"Hmph... I just said that the report I wrote will definitely be read!"
Reinhardt sighed and beckoned to Roddy.
"Follow me!"
Roddy immediately followed, and found a gap not too big under the iron fence not far away, which was no problem at all with the size of a child, but it would be more troublesome for Roddy to pass through.
"You can flip over. ”
Reinhardt, who climbed in first, gave sound advice, seemingly forgetting that he had previously said that there was high voltage electricity on it.
"Since this is called an abandoned factory, how can there still be electricity?"
Roddy was shocked, looking at Reinhardt's disdainful expression, he really didn't expect this.
"Hmph, as a qualified editor, you can't trust other people's words. ”
Reinhardt said proudly, in fact he had heard it from his father, and took it as his signature manifesto.
Roddy smiled wryly again, and easily climbed over the iron fence, and at this time, the two Reinhardt walked towards the warehouse in front of Roddy and behind.
"Mr. Roddy, how did you know I was Reinhardt. ”
Roddy snickered, thinking that sure enough, this little adult was still full of curiosity about this.
"First of all, the costume, just like you judge me, your outfit is not something that a child in the outer city can have, and secondly, you said that I need to climb over the wall and am not a member of the Yodel Foundry, which means that you have a certain understanding of the Yodel Foundry. ”
"And I've been to your house before, and learned that your father is an ordinary newspaper editor, and your mother is a housewife, how can you know about yodeling foundries?"
Reinhardt lowered his head and pondered for a while, agreeing with Roddy's statement, and at the same time, Roddy felt that Reinhardt had relaxed his guard against him, and took the initiative to slow down and keep parallel to Roddy.
"Well, having answered your question, you must answer me a question as well. ”
"Your report says about the missing few low-level employees at the Yodel foundry, which doesn't want to be in use. ”
Reinhardt didn't answer immediately, but motioned for Roddy to follow him.
"You'll find out soon. ”
