Anna's statement didn't make Amp much more comfortable, but he also knew that he wasn't from this front, so he didn't know much about it, and quickly shut his mouth and stopped discussing anything related to it.

The car kept moving forward, and after a while Anna asked, "Why did you get caught by them?" I remember that you didn't have any assignments when you were on vacation, as long as you didn't go to some military restricted areas, or approached some important personnel, the other party couldn't find you!"

Amp grinned silently, "I drank some wine, my wallet was stolen, and I said the wrong thing. He rubbed his hair, which had been washed on the boat, and sighed, "I blame myself for this, and I won't drink anymore." ”

Anna answered, not speaking, and after a while, she spoke again, "Do you think this has anything to do with that Mr. Tuckers? Could it be that he suspected your identity and reported you to the police?"

Amp shook his head, "He doesn't know who I really am, and we get along very well, so he shouldn't have a problem." But it's actually good to go through this incident, at least I have an excuse to get Mr. Tuckers back from the Federation, as long as he returns to the Empire, we can find a way for him to meet with Doolin, or arrange some other work, let him take the initiative to find something, and then cooperate with us to take Dorin. ”

"By the way, I remember you said you were going to Doolin's hometown, did you go?", Anna nodded, and Amp suddenly became interested, "Are there any important discoveries?"

"No!", Anna's expression was not very good-looking, "I didn't see anyone I knew, probably because of the time that has changed their appearance, and there are some people who have been wearing masks before, and I haven't seen their true faces." When the next mission is over, I'm going to go to the Turnaire Regional Police Department to check through the files, which should have some information from the past, before their appearance changed. ”

Anna's trip to Alfalfa was a failure, as she didn't find anything crucial to determine if the original members of the Scarlet Dawn lived there, and she could only hope that these people weren't as responsive as they used to be when they got older. The only thing that made her feel that there was something wrong with Alfalfa Town was the heavy firepower that had appeared around Durin.

She was all too familiar with the gun, the weapon of Layton, the most powerful sharpshooter in the organization, from a duke's collection. Of course, Anna hadn't seen anyone around Durin using the gun with her own eyes, but she just had a feeling, a sixth sense that belonged to a woman, and the traces of heavy weapon use left at some crime scenes must be the gun.

At present, there is no heavy weapon in the Empire's standard weapons that can be used by a single person, and at least a weapon base is required to be effective, and in her entire life memory, only the dragon hunting gun can be carried around and deal the same damage as a heavy weapon.

The gun wasn't an antique, it was actually a modern work, but the drawings were from the Origin Period. Along with that drawing, a codex was discovered, which described the reason and process of the design in Origin script. At that time, there should have been such a creature as "dragons" in the world, and this drawing and this gun were designed to destroy the dragon at the top of the food chain.

However, because the original level of craftsmanship and metallurgy could not meet the needs of making dragon hunting guns, no similar weapons have been found in the known ruins. The blueprint ended up in the hands of the duke, who found the weapon interesting and spent about seventeen million gold coins to gather enough materials and modify some of the data on the original blueprint to get the current gun.

The gun is definitely an important clue, which is why Anna rescued Amp from prison. Not only does she need Amp's smart mind, but also because this matter has an unclear relationship with Doolin, so she hopes that if Amp has a chance to send Doolin to the gallows, it is very likely that the soul of the original Scarlet Dawn will reappear.

Catching that guy has always been Anna's greatest desire, if she didn't catch this person who took off half of her face, she would never sleep peacefully in her life, the tearing pain on her face and the ant-like feeling of gnawing will always haunt her, even if she goes to hell after death, she must find that person!

The silent car quickly disappeared into the crowded traffic, unable to attract anyone's attention.

On the other hand, as soon as the 8th arrondissement began to operate as a whole, two shooting teams had already entered the 8th arrondissement to start taking snow scenes, which made many of the local middle class in Illian breathe a sigh of relief. It's clear that tourism is on the decline as people suspected, but if the 8th arrondissement can operate as the city hall has said, it will be enough to compensate for the pressure of the sluggish tourism market before the winter break.

"Borrow my manor?", Durin picked up the phone in a daze, and Carter transferred two young girls and six boys from the Townsfolk Guild to follow Doolin's orders. The call came in from outside, and when someone suddenly told Durin that he wanted to rent his estate, Durin really didn't react, "No, sorry, my estate is not for rent or sale. After saying that, he hung up the phone.

When he got up, he glanced at the wall clock on the wall, it was already past ten o'clock, he patted his forehead, turned around and got out of bed, took a hot shower, changed into new clothes, and then hurried downstairs. He and Albert had made an appointment to meet at nine o'clock this morning, and had now missed more than an hour, which was rude.

Fortunately, when he went downstairs, he saw Albert sitting in the living room watching TV boredly, and when he heard footsteps, he immediately got up, and Durin stood halfway up the stairs and beckoned to him, "Come to my study and talk." ”

After the two entered the study, Durin asked a girl to bring them some pastries and lighter tea and closed the door, this time because of the Chinese New Year so Albert was able to come back from the Federation, usually he lived in the Federation and was busy with Durin's big plans. At this time, Albert had a more dignified temperament than the salesman who sold him every morning. The sophisticated formal wear and qualified accessories make him look like an upper-class bigwig, no longer an inconspicuous salesman.

"Looks like you're doing well over there!", Durin picked up a piece of honey-touched jerky and stuffed it into his mouth, a delicacy that in the past only nobles were entitled to. The cooks cut the beef into thin slices, marinate it in spices for a while, dry it naturally, bake it, and serve it with a layer of honey.

Albert's expression was a little excited, he kept shaking his head, "Boss, I would still be just a salesman without you, I am very fortunate to be able to meet you, and thank you very much for giving me this opportunity!"

Durin smiled, "Success doesn't favor lazy people, and it's because you show up in front of me on time every morning that your efforts move me." It's not me who gave you a chance, it's a chance you earned ....... Okay, stop touting each other, tell me a little bit about what I'm interested in. ”

Albert was given a very important task by Doolin, this is the second "outsider" to enter Doolin's inner circle after that bastard lawyer, and the reason why he is used is that in addition to the fact that this person is very well controlled, he is also smart enough to know what is his own and what is not his own. Of course, trust is a cheap thing, so outside of Albert and his team, there are many more people who follow Doolin's plans without knowing each other, and even spy on these people.

Albert sorted out his mood, and then told Du Lin about the results of his work during this time, "Everything is very smooth, we have easily completed the first step you explained, the recognition of capital and media by the federal people is much higher than that of the empire, everyone believes what the rich people say, even if the rich people say that can be eaten or sweet, it is possible that someone will really eat." So we hardly encountered any obstacles, and the local town hall and people from all walks of life welcomed us very well. ”

"For the first month, I spent almost every day socializing, and they were afraid that I would not look down on their city, and their mayor even showed up to talk to me in person, telling me about the benefits that would come to us if we settled with them, including policy and financial support......

"You're talking to a mayor right now!", Durin handed him a cigarette and shook his hand when he didn't know what to say with a stunned face, "Well, go on, I'm interested." ”

The conversation lasted from ten o'clock to two o'clock in the afternoon, and on the way the girl came to ask twice if she wanted to dine, but Dulin refused, and there was nothing more important than Albert's more detailed news, and the meal could only be last in line.

Albert finally breathed a sigh of relief after saying everything he had to say, in fact, he still had a lot of questions in his heart, but he knew his "identity" and could be confused, but when Durin didn't mention it first, he couldn't ask.

There are many people in this world who die every day because they know too much inside information that they shouldn't know, and he doesn't want to be next.

After encouraging Albert and promising him some benefits, Durin let him go back, and now he is not suitable to disappear for too long, after all, he is a successful man.

After sending Albert away, Durin had a ticket back to Otis City, and he didn't want to wobble on the sea.
