The old policeman who was talking to the janitor was what Professor Barker called Officer Charles.

Officer Charles was a little chubby, his hair coming out of under his hat was black and white, and his eyes were always smiling, and he looked very kind.

He has been on duty in this area for almost 30 years, and his external image has always been very good, and he has deceived some people.

But if you think about it, you will understand how a person who can be in the police department of Brut City for 30 years without any trouble, how can he be an easy person?

I just don't know if he relied on his strength to get to where he is today, or whether he survived to this point by relying on the trend of inflammation?

Su Xian took the initiative to step forward and greeted, "Isn't this Officer Charles?" Why do you have time to come to our academy today? ”

Officer Charles squinted at him, "There was an explosion at your academy, you don't know?" ”

Su Xian opened his eyes widely: "Is that so?" Maybe it's because I've been studying Professor Buck's homework in my dorm room, so I didn't notice it. ”

Officer Charles looked at him carefully for a few moments before withdrawing his gaze and saying, "I'm not here to deal with this. Your antiquities shop has been hollowed out, you know? ”

"What?" Su Xian immediately tightened his brows, but an imperceptible light flashed in his eyes, "Who did it!"

Officer Charles slowly pinched a string of beads from his pocket and slowly pushed it in his hand.

The beads have been devastated by history and have lost their luster, but the special carvings on each bead give it a different charm.

Su Xian glanced at the beads, and then remembered that this should be an antiquity in the rare treasure antiquities shop.

This artifact is about twenty years old, and it is not a particularly rare item, but it is already the most valuable item in the antiquities shop.

His eyes rolled and he didn't make a sound.

Officer Charles smiled and said, "I just asked the doorman, you only returned to school late yesterday night, right?" ”

Without waiting for Su Xian to answer, he said again: "Eh, don't care. I mean, something happened in your shop last night, and a couple of East Side thugs were burned to death in a cabin in your backyard. I've investigated their origins, and it's a small gang leader and his henchmen who have recently risen in the East Side, and their hatred is really high. Several bigwigs in the East Side said they were going to spend money to buy their heads. ”

Su Xian suddenly looked "shocked", and grabbed Officer Charles's hands in an exaggerated manner: "How can there be such a thing!" Those damn gangsters! Murder is coming to my shop! Officer Charles, you must protect me! ”

His hands slammed into force, Charleston was in a sharp pain, almost unable to hold the string of beads, he quickly wanted to pull his hand out, but he couldn't move, he could only bared his teeth and said: "Hand, hand ......"

"What's wrong with the hand?" Su Xian gradually increased his strength, "Was it broken by someone when he was meddling in the gangster's firefight?" ”

Charles broke out in a cold sweat: "No, no......"

Su Xian whispered in his ear: "Do you want to know how Andre and his men died?" ”

Charles suddenly realized: "I will give you back this bead, just give it back to you!" ”

It seems that he is alive by the tendency to be inflammatory.

……

It is not terrible for a lie to have flaws, but it is terrible that there is no capital to cover up a lie.

……

When Su Xian returned to the rare treasure antiquities shop, many of the goods here had been missing, but fortunately, the corpses in the backyard had also been disposed of.

He flushed away all the traces left in the backyard with a hose, then walked into the store, pulled a ledger from the counter that had obviously been turned over, and began to count the inventory against Mark's memory.

Everything was expected.

The greedy policeman did not stop his greed and stretched out his dirty hand to the goods in the antique shop.

Officer Charles was even more open-minded in playing with the string of beads under his nose.

This is not a provocation, but a threat to negotiate.

If Su Xian pretended not to recognize the string of beads, it meant that he was willing to pay the price of that part of the lost property in order to calm everything.

Otherwise, Officer Charles would not mind spending more time doing the duties of a police officer and conducting a lengthy investigation into the incident.

Although he may not be able to investigate anything, during the investigation, he will always use all kinds of means to rectify you.

But if you follow him, you will become a fat sheep in his eyes who can harvest the wool repeatedly.

So to deal with this kind of person, you can only be more ruthless than him!

In the city of Brut, those who are not ruthless enough are destined to not go far.

Even if it's ruthless, it's acted.

But in these years, who is not acting?

In short, the death of Andrei and others was directly characterized as a gangster vendetta, and because there was no one who "reported the case", the matter was over.

……

But that's not the end of it.

"Mike Charles, a veteran police officer who has been on duty for thirty years."

Perhaps inspired by Mark, Su Xian also took out a palm-sized notebook with a cowhide cover from the counter, and wrote the name "Mike Charles" on the first page of the notebook.

Our ancestors taught us two words, one is called "cutting the grass and eradicating the roots", and the other is called "eliminating the evil".

……

Su Xian has already begun to think about the future.

Collecting the emblem, lighting the fire, and ascending the throne can be a goal, but not a life.

When the matter of the wooden box and parchment is taken care of, he will reopen the antiquities shop and deal in the buying and selling and appraisal of ancient items.

Taking 10,000 steps back, sacrifices are required to offer sacrifices to the "gods", and the rarity value of ancient items is generally higher.

If you want to get more charisma, you need to prepare a rare enough sacrifice.

Running this antique shop is not necessarily a good job.

……

It took a lot of time to tidy up the shop, but he finally repaired the entrance to the secret room, hung up bells, beads and other warning objects, and then entered the secret room, and read the literature and books that Mark had stored on the shelves in the dim light.

Running an antiquities shop requires a lot of knowledge, especially about history.

Su Xian was not able to make use of what Mark remembered, and rereading these books would help him grasp that knowledge more quickly.

And the things recorded in these books are really interesting.

Books are treasure troves that carry the rise and fall and evolution of history.

This world has a similar but different historical process from the earth, and if you can read it, you will definitely discover a new world.

But time is a step that hinders mankind from exploring the new world, and he didn't have long to read before it was already night, and he had no choice but to go to bed.

……

A good night's sleep and a good night's spirit.

After Su Xian washed up, he walked to a restaurant near the antique shop.

Everyone here seemed to know him, and he was greeted with a smile along the way.

When he entered the restaurant, he ordered something casually, sat down and waited.

Soon, a somewhat familiar middle-aged man sat down across from him.

"Jazz." The middle-aged man asked a little courteously, "Do you need a decorator?" ”

Su Xian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Of course." ”

It's really sleepy to deliver pillows, and he just wants to find someone to repair the shop.

So he chatted happily with the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man excitedly went to gather people.

And he picked up a morning newspaper on the table, sipped coffee, and read the newspaper, skillfully like a natural aristocrat.

Oh no, his current status was originally a son of a nobleman.

"On the morning of July 8, 1818, a corpse was found in Grey Hill Alley, between the Brut College and the Sun Clock Tower, covered in blood?"

"At noon on the same day, on Gergett Street 8, some residents reported that they heard the angry howl of the Abyss Demon in the street."
