Dalima Fiso hesitated for a moment, and seemed to be ruthless before saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Detective!" When Ramini told me about this, he warned me not to mention it to anyone, but now if I don't say it, I'm afraid I'm going to be swept away...... Ramini said that the reason why he was so successful as a maritime merchant was because he feared the god of the sea, he was only a sailor on a cargo ship when he was young, and he was shipwrecked at sea, he drifted on the sea for a long time, and when he felt that he could not support it, he was redeemed by the god of the sea......"

Chen Ye couldn't help but exclaim when he heard this: "You mean the sea god? Ma'am, you are responsible for what you are saying now, knowing that the current Arbitration Security Department is unkind to those who call those mysterious evil forces so. ”

"Yes, Mr. Detective, I will be responsible for every word I say, and I promise that every word I say is told to me by Ramini himself." Dalima Fiso said earnestly.

Chen Ye just scared her, promising her not to add fuel to the nonsense, and immediately motioned for her to continue, Dalima Fiso recalled for a moment before saying: "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, Ramini said that he cut a drifting bottle, and in that drifting bottle there was a parchment scroll, which he couldn't understand what was written on it, but he was quickly pushed back to land by the waves, and he thought it was the salvation of the sea god." ”

"After Lamini got the parchment scroll, he always firmly believed that this was the apocalypse of the god of the sea, and every time he wanted to go to sea, he would drip blood on it, and then a brief map would appear on the scroll, each time the map showed a different place, but it was the sea around the city of Rent, and it would be marked with an X, although Lamini couldn't read the text on it, but he was good at sea charts, he thought that this was the place where the god of the sea sacrificed, so he would bring a large number of sacrificial items to wreck the ship at that place every time, There were also some precious treasures that allowed his chamber of commerce to flourish, and over the decades, Ramini had amassed a fortune. Dalima Fiso responded.

Chen Ye squinted slightly, and subconsciously touched his nose with his hand, this was his habitual action every time he was calculating people, but his mouth was still embarrassed: "So what? Ms. Daly, don't you think that if I relay this story to the other 2 ladies they will believe that you have a deeper relationship with Ramini? So that the property will be divided among you, right? ”

Dali Ma Fiso is also unlucky, the process of Ramini's development has lasted for decades, after the death of his wife, he did not get married, but successively found 3 mistresses, 2 of whom also lived in his manor because they followed him earlier, and also got some of his assets, but this Dali Ma Fiso followed the rich man for only a few months, and he didn't have time to take any assets from Ramini, and Ramini was 58 years old at this time, and he really didn't know where the interest came from.

Dalima Fiso shook her head and said, "Of course not...... Lamini's parchment scroll he regarded as a treasure, and had always treasured it in his treasury, and the key to the treasury had always been with him, and on the eve of the accident, he had just spent the night with me, because he had changed his clothes, and he was in a hurry, but the key to the house was left with me, and according to him, there were many treasures in the treasury, and if I could not get his assets on the surface, I hope that Mr. Detective would find them for me, and I deserve them! Of course, I'll pay you a lot of money. ”

[Side quest 1: Lamini's treasure, find Lamini's treasure, you will get Dalima Fiso's reward, yes/no to receive. 】

Chen Ye did not hesitate to click "no", this side quest is like being sent to the door, it can be seen that Dali Ma Fiso's remuneration is also minimal, maybe there will be some kind of restrictions, so that he is not so flexible in dealing with the incident, and throughout the whole incident, the biggest benefit he can get in this branch line is the "Sheepskin Scroll", which is likely to be some kind of prop in the contact world, if he can really find that treasure house, the "Sheepskin Scroll" is naturally at his fingertips, There's no need to waste a side quest.

In the last reincarnation world, because the upper limit of the "side quest" was used up prematurely, the last hidden branch was not successfully received, although he also obtained the golden prop of "The Art of War Twenty-four", but Chen Ye believes that if he really receives this hidden branch line, the benefits will definitely be more than those.

"I understand, I accept Ms. Dai Li's commission for the time being, because there are too many uncertain factors, and you also know that it is not flattering to do our detective business, whether it is the Arbitration Garrison Department or the underground forces here, we are not very welcome, and I am not very good at investigating without reasonable leverage...... Well, I heard that Ms. Daly and Sheriff Peter know each other well? Chen Ye searched for the limited information in his mind, and quickly sorted out a piece of valuable information that could be used.

Dalima Fiso's face turned pale, and he said hesitantly: "I have met a few times at the cocktail party, and Peter is a very funny person......

Needless to say, some things are too straightforward, she is at a young age, what is she trying to do with an old man who is almost 60 years old? Don't you have any other way out?

"Bang bang bang" The sound of the door softly knocked on the door, interrupting Dalima Fiso's words, Sophia walked in with a pot of tea, put it on the table very respectfully, and then exited the reception room, Chen Ye's ears were slightly erect at this time, but there was a meaningful smile on his face, his little assistant seemed to be not ordinary.

"Ms. Daly just needs to say hello to Sergeant Peter, I need to use the identity of the Security Department to find some clues, or Ms. Daly thinks I can summon Ramini's soul for questioning? It seems that there have been quite a few cases of paranormal things recently...... Let's just use this reason, how? Chen Ye asked.

Dali Ma Fiso breathed a sigh of relief, full of promises, Chen Ye happily sent her out of the office, until she got into the carriage and left slowly, Chen Ye stayed quiet for a long time, saw the carriages shuttling back and forth on the stone streets, and the police equipped with steam gunpowder weapons patrolling, the roar of metal knocking was heard in the air from time to time, and the sea in the distance was even more obscured by clouds of smoke, which seemed to be a city shrouded in fog all day long.

Chen Ye returned to the office, looked at the wall clock on the wall, and at half past nine in the morning, he spoke: "Sophia, I'm going out, I won't come back for dinner at noon, if Ms. Dai Li comes, please let her leave a note, of course, if it's someone from the Security Department, tell him that I will come back around 3 o'clock in the afternoon." ”

Chen Ye has actually gotten several clues in the newspaper, he wants to see it for himself, grasp the context of various clues, "Cotoso Steam Factory" should be the largest steam factory in Lunt City, there is no one, it is not built on the outskirts of the city near the direction of the dock like other steam factories, but towering in the center of Lunt City, a huge steel building towering into the sky, looking up from below looks like an iron tower, in the position of the spire, there is also a bell tower, faintly under the fog can also see the two hands of the bell tower moving.

It is said that it is towering into the clouds, but in fact it is only more than 30 meters, it is precisely because from the middle part, a total of dozens of steel chimneys spew out a thin sulfur smell and white mist like vapor, so that the clouds appear very close, it occupies an area estimated to be nearly ten kilometers, in the center of the city there are such buildings, it is unimaginable, it is certain that "Cotoso" is not the official acquiescence, it is also a deep government background.

Although the criss-crossed stone streets were full of policemen wearing high hats and red uniforms, outside the gates of the Cotoso steam factory, it was called strict security, and there were dozens of layers of guards, and even several steam armored vehicles were seen.

The steam armored car looks like a big kettle of boiling water from the outside, the top of the head is steaming, the tracks below drive the body, and a particularly thick gun barrel pokes out of the armored car, Chen Ye looked at it from a distance, this kind of steam armored car needs 5 people to drive, and the weapon system also needs 3 people to assist, no wonder it is so huge, there are at least 8 people in it.

Chen Ye took a turn around the Cotoso steam factory, there are a lot of steam machinery creations for sale in the store, and there are also signs of "factory direct * sales" and "large quantity is preferred", Chen Ye walked into a room at will, the boss is a middle-aged man with a loyal and honest face, with a beard on his white and fat face, and a big back head with a shiny oil comb close to his scalp, but there are a few curls up and unconscious.

"Do you need anything, sir? We've got the latest steam cars here! The boss greeted him and introduced.

Chen Ye looked at the civilian steam car, patted the sturdy metal structure with his hand, and unexpectedly found a hint on the retina.

[Steam car (Rito III): quality blue; vehicle equipment; Requirements: Introductory driving; Steam-powered cars with a top speed of 80 yards per hour; Steam energy 800/800】

"Sir is really good eyesight, this is the latest Rito III, you look at this streamlined shape, it is spacious enough to seat 5 people, and the noise is reduced, the most reliable is this large steam box, enough for you to run 300 kilometers!" Warmly recommended by the owner.

Chen Ye smiled and walked away noncommittally, this thing is generally not as fast as its own running, the metal structure looks sturdy, but in fact it is another way of saying that it is cumbersome, if it really encounters a battle, it can't dodge an enemy shell at all.

The boss saw that Chen Ye was well-dressed, and obviously had a disdain for the steam car, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that he had a big customer, and hurriedly introduced any kind of goods on the counter where Chen Ye was, these things also have their own characteristics, such as steam weeders, steam propellers, steam stoves, etc., but they are all people's livelihood products, and the most dangerous thing is just a steam logging saw.

Chen Ye found a very special phenomenon, these steam machines, are equipped with a steam box, the "steam energy" to be consumed in it is not as simple as "boiling water", but specially compressed and made of "steam power core", such an egg-sized "steam power core" is rich in 200 points of steam energy, the price is only 100 francs, equivalent to 10 wafers, it can be regarded as cheap, but unfortunately Chen Ye is poor, and he is not particularly interested in these steam technologies, so he shook his head.

"Boss, do you have anything different here? It's common, but ...... Something is different. Chen Ye quietly reminded, Chen Ye saw at a glance that it was difficult for this kind of store to survive just by selling these things, and there must be some "contraband" that was not allowed to be sold, but the profits were particularly high.

The fat boss was slightly stunned, and asked tentatively, "Are you ...... The people of Hainier? ”

Henier, a strange and familiar name, the head of the underground forces in Lente City, is powerful, and the thousands of hard laborers on the three major docks are his subordinates, and he is also in charge of another intelligence force, and the entire Lente City can be said to have nothing he can't touch except for the "Cotoso Steam Factory", and only he dares to do some not-so-bright deeds under the nose of the police.

Chen Ye shrugged, he was not so stupid, he directly pretended to be a person from Heinier, this can be found with just a pair of evidence, he took out his pipe and lit it and took a puff and said: "I'm Chen Yulun, maybe you haven't heard of me, but I'm a detective, and I have recently encountered a tricky case and urgently need some special items...... Boss, you know, I can give you a good price! ”

Without Heinier's permission, he directly sold the "contraband" to a stranger, I am afraid that he needs to bear a lot of responsibility, but Chen Ye promised a "lot of money", which made the fat boss struggle and hesitate for a while, Chen Ye had to take out a ticket of 100 Fei Lang and stuff it directly into his pocket and said: "Boss, go change your hairstyle, this hairstyle is not suitable for you." ”

Chen Ye's identity obtained by spending 100 kill points is not useless, in addition to a reasonable outsider identity, he also has 500 Fei Lang in his pocket, which is his starting capital.

The fat boss finally gritted his teeth and said, "You come in with me!" As he said this, he turned around and closed the door of the shop, and hung a sign reading "Closed Today" on the outside, and then very carefully removed a picture frame on the wall, and a sliding gate was revealed behind the frame, and he pulled it down hard, only to see a secret door suddenly appear on the ground inside the counter, and a downward staircase was exposed.

This step is not long, Chen Ye can see some of the situation inside when he stands outside, the fat boss walks in first, and then turns on the steam lamp, the entire dark room is brightly lit, Chen Ye sees a dazzling array of weapons around, and even a steam exoskeleton device that can only be equipped with high-level policemen.

"This is Mingbuck, a double-barreled steam jet, a standard steam-powered core, capable of firing 10 rounds, incredibly powerful, and can shoot a lion with one shot; This is Mai Zhuomu, a single-shot gunpowder steam short gun, there are two devices: gunpowder firing and steam emission, the former is far away and the power is small, the latter is powerful and the distance is close, both are single-shot, the advantage is that it can be held with one hand, but to be honest, the accuracy is not very good; And this, I'm going to focus on you, Koseme! The single-shot gunpowder steam cannon barrel is the perfect fusion of gunpowder and steam energy, and the explosion scene produced is the best fireworks you have ever seen in your life! The fat boss chattered introducing.
