Volume 1: Famous Paintings and Old Guns Chapter 8: Accidentally losing all the plates
Nina's hiding place is a manor, a manor house away from the crowded downtown area, which is a little old but generally good. Of course, this manor is not hers, she just rents it here. The landlady liked her very much, although her ears were sometimes a little back, but her eyes were not bad, and she could bake a delicious biscuit. Nina was so grateful to the old woman that she decided not to kill her before leaving.
Today was the last day, and she was about to leave, leaving the city, leaving the planet. She knew that Eddard, who had been left behind by her, was likely to have fallen into the hands of her father, she knew that her father's methods had probably opened the mouth of the little private detective who had been calculated by her, she knew that her identity was very likely to be exposed now, her father had guessed his identity from Ed's description, and knew that it was his daughter who calculated him, and stole the painting left by his wife. But she didn't care, because she hadn't let Ed know where she lived, and her father couldn't do anything but jump on his feet and be humiliated by his own daughter. And even if he did find her location in the end, she would have already flown away.
That's what Nina thought, and it turns out she's thinking too simply.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, Nina touched up her makeup in the mirror. She's got everything packed up and is about to leave with her bags. But just as she left the changing room and went into the living room, her footsteps stopped.
Some guests have been waiting here for a long time.
“……”
“……”
Amo's eyes looked directly at Nina, and Nina also looked directly at Amo, and the expressions of the two of them were as awkward and strange as humanoid wax figures at this moment. Amo's men, who were lying in ambush behind the door, stepped out and put their guns to Nina's head from behind. Nina took a deep breath.
"I removed the tracker." Her voice was calm.
"The boss loaded two." Amour replied dryly.
Nina closed her eyes and stomped her foot in exasperation through gritted teeth, nearly breaking her slender heel. What is called accidentally losing all the games, she is now finally realizing. Her father had zeroed out everything she had done with such a simple and comical trick, it was like a big slap in the face that had left a red handprint of mad mockery.
Downs. Nina's head was dizzy. Her victory was all in vain in an instant.
"I didn't expect it to be you, Nina." Amor whispered, he seemed to have known Nina for a long time, and the fire that had been churning in his chest along the way had now turned to bubble gum, and the hand scratching his head felt a little nowhere to put it, "I haven't seen you since you disappeared after arguing with your boss." ”
“……”
The Boss's Daughter! As soon as Amour said this, the two subordinates immediately understood who the woman in front of them was. The guy behind Nina hurriedly put down the gun, hesitated in place for a moment, and then moved back behind Amour, standing side by side with the other boy.
The daughter robbed her father of her father's goods with a trick - and the two understood that things were getting funny.
"Amo, if you still remember a little old love, ...... today"
"No way, Nina." Without hesitation, Yamo stretched out a hand and interrupted the former eldest lady, "This matter can only be handed over to the boss to adjudicate, and I am not qualified to deal with it." ”
“……”
Nina stopped talking. She knew Amor, the character of the veteran who had been working under her father for the longest time. If this guy decides something, even if someone hits him on the head with a hammer other than her father, he won't be able to change his mind. Her request for him was her last temptation, and now that everything was a foregone conclusion, she had foreseen what was to come.
Amor stood up, walked to the window, dialed his phone, and turned his back to Nina. Two of his men consciously stared at Nina at this moment, preventing her from doing anything superfluous. Amour whispered a few words to the other side of the phone, and finally nodded solemnly. He put down his phone and looked back at the eldest lady.
"Let's go." He said, "The boss asked me to take you back to meet him." ”
Nina wrinkled her nose fiercely. "I don't want to see him."
"I know. The owner also knows. Amour nodded helplessly and sighed, "So he didn't let me ask your opinion." ”
……
Marcy took the steering wheel and looked straight ahead. The moving van drove quickly down the road, bringing with it a whistling wind. Ed sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window at the vast expanse of wilderness he knew. He once sat staring at the scenery for more than an hour.
In the small empty space between the two sat Carré. He moved a small stool and sat very aggrieved, he was afraid that he rarely sat so aggrieved. But it was clear that his attention was not on that. His eyes were just as staring at the road in front of the broken windshield as Marcy's, but they weren't in focus. He was thinking about something else, and he was in a trance.
There was no one else in the cab except them, and the rest of the people were all tied up and thrown into the cargo pile in the compartment. This time, Ed and the others ate their own lessons, leaving them no room to turn over.
"I'm still a little hard at it." Marcy spoke at this point, not looking at anyone, but clearly speaking to Ed, "The story you're telling is a little too bizarre. ”
"Come on." Ed's eyes were half-open, unmoved, "What you think is bizarre is not the story I tell, but the story that happened to collide with you." ”
"You can say that." Marcy nodded, "Coincidences always make people suspicious. ”
"It's one thing to another, and I'm skeptical of the story you're telling. A detective from a local police station would do such a stupid operation for such a stupid reason, I think if you showed me the police. If the emblem is not a forgery, I am afraid it will soon be gone from you. ”
"Unless I can get the job done."
Faced with the fact that Ed mercilessly pointed out, Marcy gritted her teeth and tightened her grip on the steering wheel with her slender fingers.
"Get the job done?" Ed raised an eyebrow and glanced at Marcy in surprise, "You're going to finish the job?" ”
"What do you think we're doing now?"
"I thought we'd be going to the police station now, and we'd be done with our friends in the car, and then we'd do the transcription or something — you know, go through the procedure — and then I could go home." Ed frowned, "You mean, it's not over yet?" ”
Marcy glared at him. "Of course it's not over. I'm not going to let my first case in Stuttgar end up in disgrace. ”
“…… So what's your plan? Ed looked sideways at the stiff woman, "I saw you glance at your phone before I left, and now that I think about it, you wouldn't have been looking at the tracking signal." You put a tracker on that suitcase with a gun? ”
"It's amazing that you can think of it."
"You should know they've found it and demolished it."
"Of course." Marcy's eyes were sharp, and the corners of one side of her mouth curled, "However, they only demolished the one they could." And that's what I'm going to do for them. ”
“……”
Ed raised an eyebrow and nodded. It seemed that his worries were unfounded, and the girl who was younger than him knew exactly what she was doing, so he didn't need to worry about it anymore. He just wanted things to end as soon as possible and then he had to settle accounts with his former employer.
He wasn't going to just let Nina run away, he hadn't paid off yet. He may be confused in many places, but he is the only shrewd anomaly in settling accounts, and can sit under the ass as a stool.
"Can you find them?" Carré in the back suddenly spoke up at this moment, and looked at Marcy, "Will we be able to see those guys again?" ”
Marcy, who was driving, glanced back at her old classmate. Carré looked like a patient waking up from a big dream.
"Don't worry, Carré, I won't let Uncle Ep's gun just drop it." She said comfortingly, and at the same time there was some apology in her voice, "You look really bad, what you have experienced today must have been very difficult for you." ”
Carré shook his head, his eyes lowered, and he stopped talking. Ed, who was on the side, had no interest in the interaction between the two.
After some more time, Marcy pulled the car over. In front of them, outside the door of a large, inconspicuous house on the corner across the street, a black car that Marcy and Carré were all too familiar with had just stopped, and from above came a figure that Ed was very familiar with.
The car is Carré's car, and the person is Nina, whom Ed has been thinking about all the way in his heart.
