Chapter 15: Motivation
Reka followed Oreo's thoughts.
"So you mean, because of Merkel's death, those people wanted to steal Merkel's safe. So if that's the case, what are those people's motivations? ”
"I don't know."
Oreo muttered.
Tamia had pricked up her ears to listen to Oreo's reasoning, and when she heard these four words, she said angrily.
"Can't you just guess?"
Oreo shook his head, reaching out to wipe the handwriting on the whiteboard.
"No, based on the current conditions, I can't guess the motives of the three adults for the time being... So I think we have to speculate from another angle, and that's about the contents of the box itself. ”
"What's in the box itself?" Tamia remembered something, "You mean the chest contains valuable treasures?" ”
Reka swallowed and said in a low voice.
"If it's a precious treasure... I think we need to act quickly. ”
"Are you thinking about the 10% bounty?"
Pierced by Oreo, Reka said angrily.
"You miserly king, are you embarrassed to talk about me!"
"Nope."
Oreo shook his head, his tone serious.
"I guess what's in that box is more important than the precious treasures, which is why the big guys are in such a hurry.
Since it's something of that level, I don't think you're going to get a bounty that suits its value. ”
Reka corrected.
"There are thirty-one chests, thirty-one!"
In the disdainful gaze of the other two, Reka touched the back of her head and said with a smile.
"But anyway, we have to act, lest we get preempted by those weak chicken sheriffs, don't we?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the office was pushed open, and a tall bald head walked in with an unkind face, and I don't know if I heard Reka's sarcasm.
Tamia said calmly.
"Sheriff Kathu, what's the catch?"
Seeing Reka, Kathu's expression became more and more gloomy, as if he was going to chew Reka between his teeth.
"We've already found traces of the robbers, and it's only a matter of time before they are apprehended."
"That's great news!"
Reka clapped her hands and stood up from her seat, "Sheriff Kathu, are you waiting for us to go!" ”
Kathu clearly didn't want to answer Reka's question, and he stared straight at Tamia.
"Tamia, why are there two bed bugs in your office?"
"Now there's one more."
Tamia rolled her eyes and grumbled quietly.
"Katu, now that you have a clue, what are you still hanging around with me, are you going to share the bounty with the three of us?"
"Tamia."
Catu paused.
"The situation is tricky, and I want to invite you to join me to take a look."
Reka stood in front of Tamia and said with a swagger.
"As Sheriff Tamya's partner, Tamia and I are inseparable."
Tamia doesn't deny it, because she'd rather be with a fool like Reka than Kathu, who has a clear purpose.
Lazily rising from her chair, Tamia gestured to the office door.
"Okay, let's go."
"All the best."
Oreo took his cane and left the office first.
......
He was clearly not as calm as he had left.
As he stepped onto Tenth Street, Oreo almost ran towards the office, yelling.
"Caron!"
The silver-haired manservant opened the wooden door for him, and when Oreo entered, he put a sign on the door that was closed, and then carefully closed the wooden door.
Oreo closed the blinds and his voice was low.
"Did you notice anything special about Merkel?"
The first half of his words were in Sisanaland, the official language of Turin, and the second half had been switched to the Ikra Chinese language.
"Something special?"
Like Oreo, standard Ikrati Chinese is spoken from Cuaron's mouth.
"I don't think there's anything special about it other than a key."
"The key."
Oreo muttered to himself, "Do you remember the pattern of the key?" ”
Cuarón frowned and thought for a moment, then said slowly.
"It looks like it's the key to a safe, it's ordinary."
"It's ordinary."
Oreo muttered to himself.
He also had storage at Walden Bank, and those keys were specially made, and definitely not "ordinary keys" as Caron put it.
Seeing Oreo frowning and thinking, Cuarón whispered.
"Young Master, is there anything special that I need to deal with?"
When the words fell, Oreo did not answer immediately, but wrenched his knuckles one by one.
Outside the house, the sun was scorching, but the office was silent.
"There are two possibilities."
Oreo switched back to Sisanaland.
"One, it's really a coincidence. Whether the robbers knew it or not, the box must have contained valuables that the nobles knew they knew, but couldn't keep out with it. ”
"Young Master, don't you really have any idea about that thing, after all, we are short of funds now."
Cuarón glanced quickly out the door and said.
Oreo shook his head.
"The second possibility is that those chests contain some secret. If you look at it further, I'm guessing Merkel is the key to cracking that secret.
But either way, I don't want to get involved in a dispute at this level, so let's leave this case at that. ”
Of course, Cuarón knew that Oreo was about to move, after all, the two of them were short of money at the moment.
After being silent for a while, he couldn't help but persuade.
"Young Master, what if it's the first possibility? We can reap a lot of money. ”
Oreo pondered for a moment, then finally chose to give up.
"The value of something can't be measured in money, and I can't monetize it."
"Knock knock."
Cuarón was about to say something, but suddenly there was a knock on the door.
A sign saying that the business is closed has been hung outside the house, which shows that the visitor is not good.
Caron opened the door open a crack and whispered.
"The young master is taking a nap, please come back later."
The aristocratic lady outside the door took off the pink hat on her head, withdrew her left foot, and bowed half-squatting.
"Please also inform Your Excellency Plavor, I have something very important to discuss with him."
Without waiting for Cuarón to reply, she lowered her head and went into the office, and in front of her clear eyes, Cuaron actually forgot to stop her.
The girl walked briskly towards Oreo as she spoke.
"Mr. Oreo......"
"Sending off guests."
Oreo exclaimed, he didn't want to have anything to do with Angelyl anymore, or Mrs. Peggy would have demolished the office.
"Miss."
Caron politely stopped in front of Angelil, a sturdy but not burly man, but as impassable as a wall.
Angelyl raised her head and stared into Cuarón's eyes.
"I'm Atifa Bedford's sister and I have something to say to my brother-in-law right now...... So please get out of the way. ”
