.

Little Git felt that there were more things that scared him today than in the usual half a year combined.

He was tasked with meeting with Adele as an executor and Manju Sawa to complete a secret transaction that he didn't know all about, exchanging money for a package from the other party's hand. This is nothing in itself, it is just a very simple job, and there is no difficulty except for the high degree of secrecy, but he has a toothache from head to end because he may see the local person in charge of Manju Sawa who left a deep impression on him at the beginning, and even although there is no danger to the end, it cannot be said that it has no effect. He and Adele were unconsciously pushed because of this incident, and he had a feeling that this might be one of the purposes of the eldest lady herself.

Then he was frightened again. An important operation that was so secretive that few people in Babloar should have known about it had gone awry—and it did go wrong—not only were they intercepted immediately after Mandjou Sawa left, but his dear girlfriend Adele had generously given him a unique roller coaster experience, which almost left a shadow on his co-seater. He felt that every time he sat in the passenger seat in the future, he would remember the experience that made his heart pop out of his body, and he felt that he was likely to become short-lived in the days to come because of the car problem.

Next, Karl, who was wearing the power armor of the Manzhu Shahua Kraken exoskeleton, the four strong men who were keenly aware of the fact that he had broken his stealth and sneaking behind him, the huge dumbbell that rolled down on the second floor of the girls' dormitory and smashed in front of his face, and the most terrifying of all, the plus-like dormitory lady who pressed on himself like a bear and gave him a bear paw, all left new scars dripping with blood on his poor scarred heart.

But while these things are outrageous—and some of them are quite outrageous—they don't compare to what happened afterward.

The outside detective, who basically didn't know anything, came to Barblair on the commission of the old lady in order to investigate why Adele didn't go to work at the old lady's house for a long time. He, like the old lady Bing, had no idea what Adele's true identity was, nor what was going on in this part of Barblair. However, it should be noted that the detective itself does not seem to be simple.

According to the results of the investigation, not only is he closely related to the recently rising rookie detective of the Stuttgar Police Headquarters, but he also has some unclear abnormal connections with a certain terrorist existence in the dark world, and that is only on the surface and can be found out. They knew very well that if the one didn't want the affair between him and Ed to be known, it would be very, very difficult to find out about the relationship between them, at least not as easily as it was now.

The Dark Heavens, which are also part of the underground kingdom of Stuttgar, knew that this was a signal from the one who was consciously or unconsciously sending to others—people like them—a subtle warning that if they wanted to do anything to the detective, they had better weigh it first. Perhaps even the outside detective himself didn't realize this.

And as to why the One did this, I am afraid no one knows it except himself. Few of those who are too tall in the dark shadows of Stuttgar can fathom their minds and know what they are thinking.

And this detective, who has undoubtedly been among the big troubles, seems to have no consciousness at all, and insists on staying at Bablore, on the grounds that "if you want to settle accounts, you must calculate clearly" - the only good thing is that he is targeting the Donfried family and not their dark paradise.

Although little Git did think that he would meet the trouble detective again, he never expected it to be so fast, less than twelve hours apart, and still in the middle of the mission—and the other party seemed to be a participant in the mission, one of the components? Do you even know more about the task than you do?

Outrageous, outrageous—but it's not just here, it's in the back, after he runs out of the dormitory campus and onto the side of the driveway on campus, and the car that comes straight for him appears.

It was a police car.

Little Jit, who didn't know what expression he should put on, didn't know what he should put on, but he resisted the urge to turn around and run—on the one hand, because he knew he wouldn't be able to run, and on the other hand, he couldn't run anymore—and after the police car stopped next to him, he looked down a little uncomfortably.

His eyeballs almost didn't fall out.

"Duroc Detective?"

"Do you think it's still possible for you to see others?" Old Duroc, who had a thick sideburns on his face, touched his thick sideburns and waved his hand at Little Kitt, "Hurry up and get in the car." ”

“……”

The panicked little Git stood in place in a panic for two seconds, and then calmed down after two seconds. He suddenly felt as if he was less surprised, as old Duroc himself had said, did he still think that he might see someone else inside? To say that Barblair has the closest relationship with that Big Trouble detective now is no one other than Old Duroc.

After some deliberation, Jritter decided to follow his instincts, opened the back door and got into the car.

"Why are you here, Detective Duroc?" He couldn't help but ask out loud as soon as he was ready. Although he had already guessed some possibilities, the doubts that had arisen from it were even greater.

"What do you think, clever ghost?" Old Duroc put one hand on the steering wheel, glanced at little Geet's ear in the rearview mirror, and snorted angrily, "It's not like our good friend pulled over to help." ”

“……”

Little Git opened his mouth and twisted his face and closed his eyes tightly. He felt like he had too many questions to ask, and he didn't know which one to ask first. But in the end, he still squeezed out his first choice.

"How did he know he was here?"

"I don't know, he didn't tell me. He just said that what he and I were going to do today would put an end to the war between you and Donfrie, and restore Bablore to normal peace. Old Duroc didn't look back, and he didn't look at Little Kitt from the rearview mirror again, but his tone changed a little inexplicably, "Besides, when you asked this question, did you really not think of the answer yourself?" ”

"Old fox!"

Little Jitter scolded in praise and admiration, and then remembered who was in front of him, but this also made his other doubt even more confused.

"Although it's a bit of a thing for me to say...... But Mr. Eddard said that he wants to settle accounts with the Donfried family, and you want Bablore to return to peace, so you agreed to cooperate with Mr. Ed, which seems to be nothing wrong in itself, but according to your character, how can you so easily believe Mr. Ed, an outsider, who does not explain much, or even cooperates with the gang uncharacteristically? Don't you hate us the most. ”

"I hate you the most, but I always remember why I hated you. If the ultimate goal is to help Barblair, then I certainly don't mind making a little appropriate compromise. Old Duroc said casually, his voice slowing slightly, "As for why I believe Eddard...... I didn't believe him. ”

"Then why are you ......?"

"He found another person we all knew," Duroc Sr. sighed, "and she convinced me. She believed in Ed, and then I decided to believe in him this time. ”

"Someone You All Know......"

Little Git's brow twitched. A person who knows both Detective Ed and Detective Duroch, and is able to convince Duroc, who has a stubborn and tough personality, to a certain extent, violates his own principles and cooperates with Ed and the gang...... It seems that only one person can do it.

Ed's old acquaintance, Detective Marcy of the Stuttgar Police Headquarters!

Did Ed pull that Detective Marcy into the game? No, no, it seems that she just asked her to be a lobbyist and vouch for him, as long as the old Duroc believes that he is joining him in today's operation, otherwise if Marcy does come over in person, there will be nothing to do with the old Duroc.

I just don't know if Ed himself and Marcy have explained the whole situation clearly, or if Marcy agreed to help Ed and be this guarantor without asking anything. If it was the latter, then the female detective's trust in Ed was even higher than their estimates.

Little Jit was thinking about it, when suddenly the door opened again, and a figure sat in the passenger seat. Although he didn't see his face, a pungent smell of blood still made Little Kitt's body tense up instantly.

"You're hurt?" Old Duroc gave Ed a surprised look, and as he spoke, he pulled a towel for him.

"Not my blood." Ed replied quickly and casually, wiping his face neatly, "I feel great." ”

“…… I don't feel that way. Old Duroc squinted his eyes and looked at Ed with crooked corners of his mouth, his expression a little ghostly, "You're almost a different species." ”

"Maybe I am." Ed shoved the towel back as he glanced back at Little Kitt in the back seat, his gaze falling on the suitcase, "That's it?" ”

“…… I think so. ”

"Well done, boy." Ed tugged back at the corners of his mouth and tilted his head, "I mean, Mr. Little Geet. ”

“……”

"Now we're starting to get everything on track and move on to the next stop." Turning around, Ed looked through the car window at the scenery of the university campus in front of him, stuck out his tongue and licked his lower lip, "Your companion is still waiting for you." ”

"What about them?"

"Who?"

"The Donfrie family's enforcer." Little Jit hesitated, looking at Ed from behind without blinking, "You killed them all?" ”

He only saw Ed shoot one of them at the end of his life.

"Hey!" Ed turned his head back and looked at little Jit with interest, "Trouble you?" ”

"We're the ones who cause the trouble." Old Duroc snorted, twisted the key and started the car.

"No......" Little Kitt looked at Ed's eyes—those dark, half-squinted, eyes that seemed to be forever thinking about something, and subconsciously coughed, and lifted the sunglasses on his face, "It's just that those people are very powerful, I didn't expect Mr. Ed to be able to solve them all by himself." ”

Ed shook his head and sat up straight.

"I didn't expect that," he said softly, "I was just lucky—I just happened to be the one who survived." ”
