Chapter 60

"Let me help protect the actors?"

In the dormitory of the Secret Service Support Section, Ike, who was called by the fire, was stunned after listening to Theo and Lloyd's explanation.

"Well, the Rainbow Theatre has received a threatening letter asking for the end of the show." Lloyd nodded in reply.

"Isn't it commonplace for these people to intimidate or something?" Ike was puzzled. "This kind of lucrative business must attract a lot of jealousy, and it is normal to receive threatening letters."

"But it's impossible not to do the same. And the crux of the matter is that Miss Ilia seems to have offended the president of the Lubacher Chamber of Commerce," Lloyd smiled bitterly, "We have been entrusted with the investigation, but the other party has no action at the moment, and we are not good at interfering, if it is on the day of the performance, we are afraid that there will be insufficient manpower... ”

"Rubacher? It's that gangster's chamber of commerce. Ike suddenly realized: "It seems that the president is still one of the subordinates of the imperial officials?" Are you saying that they wrote threatening letters? ”

"It's not certain yet. I only know that the signature on the letter is silver. Lloyd replied.

"Wouldn't it be better to arrest that president... Wait a minute. Ike was taken aback, "Are you saying that the signature on the letter is 'Silver'?" ”

"That's right." Lloyd replied, "Ike, do you know this man?" ”

"Hey, if it's really silver, I may not be able to save her." A twinkle flashed in Ike's eyes, "That guy is a famous assassin of the Republic. And it seems that this name has been circulating in the streets of the Orient for more than 100 years. ”

"More than a hundred years?!" Lloyd and several people were surprised: "What's going on?" ”

"I have friends in the Republic who say that Silver appeared as an assassin more than a hundred years ago, when he assassinated many officials, and it was not until later that he gradually withdrew from history under the blow, but if you look closely, his shadow has never been interrupted for more than 100 years." Ike replied, "How's that?" It's exciting to have an undead assassin as an opponent. ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ I always feel that the story is getting more and more absurd. Lloyd frowned in thought.

"It's just a legend, isn't it?" Randy Jack.

"No, he's real. Even now, as long as you have enough commission, you can hire him to kill people. Ike replied, "Judging from the feedback of the information, he is a guy who is proficient in the Oriental Spell and the hidden weapon, and his stealth ability is also quite strong." As an assassin, few people can beat him. ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ Ike, why do you know so well? Lloyd was silent for a moment and asked.

"If you say why, of course, it's because I've learned about the underworld." Ike looked at the emerging investigator with interest, "Don't you smell your nose as a searcher?" ”

"I was just curious, but now it seems that the eldest brother did not have a great reputation in the autonomous prefecture at that time, and his scope of work was also very narrow. can be related to the work of the eldest brother, except for the police, there are only people who have contact with the police. And Ike, you don't seem to be the kind of person who is willing to be a police officer. ”

"You're right, the police aren't for me. As for the rest, I can't tell you right now. Ike rolled his eyes, "After all, some things are boring to say directly." Think of it as your Inspector Test. ”

"There's one more problem. Are you really just here to visit Theo? Lloyd asked again.

"Wellβ€”it was like that before I saw this wolf." Ike glanced at Zet, who was sleeping soundly on the side, "As for now, the plot is unfolding in a rather interesting place." So I decided to stay here a little longer. I accept your request. After all, I also have tickets for the show, and if the actor dies suddenly, we will be very distressed. After all, the name of the Rainbow Theater is quite famous even anywhere, and if you miss it, you don't know when you will be able to enjoy it again. Ike pulled Theo into his arms and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "As for the rest of your stomach." It seems that Tiora is close to him, and if Theoken tells you, you probably know everything. ”

"Ike... Theo struggled slightly with a somewhat uneasy look on his face for a moment, and then sat down as if giving up. Let everyone look at her.

"Lloyd, have you been working together for a month?" Ike asked.

"That's right." Lloyd was a little puzzled: "Is there any problem?" ”

"No, I'm just surprised." Ike patted Theo on the shoulder and gestured, "This child has been scared of life since she was a child for complicated reasons, and even an old friend who has been entrusted with her doesn't know how to help her except us, and I need to travel all year round because of my work, so it's hard to bring Theo with me." I'm so happy to come back and find that she gets along so well with you. Ike replied very sincerely.

"You're overthinking. Theo is so smart, how could anyone not like it. Ellie pulled Tio who had just sat down and rubbed it, "Yes, Tio." ”

"That's right, we're having a pretty good time with Theo." Randy replied aloud as well.

"It would be better if Randy didn't look around at the girls as soon as he was doing his job." Theo replied with a blank face.

"It would be better if this viper could be changed!"

"It's Randy's fault." Ellie looked disdainful.

"That's why I decided to help you, because your children have been taken care of by you. If you need any help, you may want to come to me, Theo and Ellie have logged in my information, although there are some suspicions of boasting, but in terms of information, I still have some doorways to ask myself, especially the channels of the underground world. There shouldn't be too much information for the investigator, right? β€œ

"Why, that's a real help." Lloyd replied with some excitement.

"And what are you going to do next?" Ike spoke. "If it's really silver, I'm honestly not very sure I'm going to be able to stop him, fighting is one thing, assassination is another. I only know one person who is proficient in this area, but he has not been assassinating for many years, and once the assassin abandons this technique, it will quickly degenerate. So I can only guarantee that I can stop him in a head-on fight, but in the dim performance, if he deliberately creates chaos and takes advantage of it, even I can't do anything. ”

"That's enough. Or get rid of you. Lloyd thanked him sincerely, "We are now going to gather some more information about the intimidation letter and silver, step by step." ”

"If it's silver's information, I know there's one place." Ike interjected, "Have you heard of the 'Black Moon Trading Company' in the Harbor District?" ”

Several people looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

"It's a company that's in the name of trade, but most of its affairs are related to the underworld, and if you go there, you might be able to find out something." Ike replied, "But you have to be careful, after all, these trading companies are all linked to the dark world, and it's normal to keep thugs or something." Acke paused, "As for me, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you." There is too much to do with the underground, and it's easy for me to expose my whereabouts when I go there. I don't want to reveal my whereabouts so soon, so it's up to you. Instead, I can go to the Rainbow Theatre first to look for clues. ”

"We've asked over there many times, I'm afraid it's hard to get any more useful information." Lloyd replied with a little annoyance.

"Not necessarily." Ike smiled slyly, "The so-called people are humane, and rats have rats." Since this road doesn't work, why not try the other way? ”
