Chapter 13: Alchemical Weapons
Reka turned around and said exaggeratedly.
"I said Oreo, you don't have a fever, do you?"
Oreo shook his head.
"Nope."
"That ......"
Reka said tentatively, "Then I don't have to pay for that pancake just now, right?" ”
Oreo rolled his eyes.
"It's Angelyl, I have to find something for her to do, or the salary will be in vain."
"I knew it."
"But it's not far from the celebration day, the punishment in Turin is much heavier than usual, and there really aren't any tricky cases lately." ”
"But there will always be cases."
Looking directly into Reka's eyes, Oreo spoke quickly.
"For example, some cases that are inconvenient for you to come forward."
Reka's face turned strange, and he hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"My friend, you don't hate this ...... the most"
Oreo rudely interrupted him.
"I said, it's Angelyl!"
"Okay, I know, I'll go back and bring you the file...... This is supposed to make me happy, but why am I so distraught? ”
Reka glanced at Angelyl with a wry smile before quickly leaving.
Angelyl trotted into the office and leaned over to Oreo and asked.
"Mr. Oreo, what's an inconvenient case?"
Pushing the rest of the pancake in front of Angelil, Oreo whispered.
"A bunch of powerful waste aristocrats."
Angelyl glanced at the pancake.
"Aristocrats? Do you mean Reka didn't dare to investigate their case, but no one cared about them? ”
Oreo said sarcastically.
"Of course, but our Emperor doesn't have time to worry about that."
"Ah......h
Angelyl lowered her head and muttered.
"It's not fair."
"They're the ones who make the rules, so there's nothing unfair about that."
Oreo shook his head, pointing to the pancake.
"Reka is coming, let's eat."
Angelyl said worriedly,
"Mr. Oreo, aren't you worried about the revenge of the nobles?"
"Revenge?"
Oreo said suspiciously, "It's not me who is investigating the case on the surface, and they can only retaliate against you."
But the celebration is just around the corner, and this humble justice will be a plus for you. ”
Angelyl repeated.
"Humble ...... of Justice"
"Isn't justice carried out without angering some people a lowly justice?"
Oreo shook his head and got up from his chair.
He pulled a rag out of the pantry and carefully wiped the silver grandfather clock, like a lover's caressing.
After wiping the clock clean, Oreo took out a brush and lay down on the carpet worth 6,399 gold coins, carefully searching for the dust covering it.
Seeing that he cherished the carpet so much, Angelil subconsciously glanced at her boots, which had a lot of dust on them.
She pursed her lips and glanced at Oreo guiltily.
Reka wasn't paying attention, and he stepped on the carpet.
"Mr. Detective, I'm back."
However, seeing that he was holding a stack of files, Oreo could only choose to forgive him.
- Of course, if Caron had been alive, it would have been a different outcome at the moment.
Placing the files on the table, Reka flipped through them one by one.
"I haven't brought any cases that have been greeted by people, and these are already relatively easy cases to handle."
Oreo put down the brush and walked over nonchalantly.
"If it's a case that is easier to handle, why don't you handle it yourself."
“......”
Rekha paused, "Actually, it's not that easy to deal with. ”
"Angelyl."
Oreo waved his hand, "Come and pick one, that's your mission for today." ”
"Hmm."
Angelyl nodded, swallowing the contents of her mouth quickly, then stood aside and flipped through them.
"You're busy, I'll rest for a while."
Reka wasn't much interested in it, and he hadn't been busy for two days on the previous case, and he hadn't closed his eyes until now.
He sat down in Oreo's large chair and quickly closed his eyes.
After flipping through the large stack of files, Angelyl pulled out one at random.
"Mr. Oreo, can I take this case?"
"Is there a poppy trade, of course."
Oreo glanced at the dossier and continued to flip through the rest of it.
Angelelle set the dossier aside and tilted her head, carefully observing Oreo's movements.
He read the file very quickly, and he didn't know how to do it.
"What's going on?"
Oreo pulled several files out of them and said in confusion.
"It's all cases that have been dealt with, did Mrs. Andorra lose so many cats?"
Angelyl leaned in.
"It's really weird, could it be that she lost it on purpose?"
"A thousand gold coins, I wish she had lost a few more."
Oreo complained, but his eyes weren't as casual as that.
Putting the files aside, he looked at Angelelle.
"Alright Angelil, look at the case in your hand, we're going to settle it tomorrow at the latest."
"Oh."
Angelyl answered, spreading the file flat and placing it between the two.
Oreo quickly skimmed through the case.
"On September 13th, not long ago, the clue pointed to the drug trade of the nobles......"
He turned his head to look at Angelil, "So Angelil, what do you think?" ”
"Me."
Angelyl was stunned for a moment, and then said.
"Evidence, there is no direct evidence in this case that can prove his guilt, we need to find it."
Oreo nodded and continued.
"Tell me about your plans."
"My plan ......"
Angelyl pointed to the dossier. "Aristocrats can't taste poppy fruit without women, and there are only a few famous brothels on Eighth Street, so I think I can pretend to be a prostitute who needs poppy fruit."
"It's fishing enforcement, stupid, but effective."
Oreo spread his hands, "What would you do if I asked you to get that evidence by tomorrow?" ”
Angelyl explained.
"Mr. Oreo, he must have quite a few men, and he can always find him."
"Time is tight, it depends on ability."
Oreo nodded, "So Angelil, if you can get all the evidence before dawn, I'll split half of the bounty on this case." ”
"Really?"
Angelyl said in surprise as she looked at the dossier and checked again.
In this way, the bounty distributed to his head is as much as twenty-five, which is almost worth twenty-five days' salary!
"You deserve it."
Oreo nodded, turning his head to look at Reka.
He leaned on his back in that chair, his mouth wide open, and he slept like a pig.
"I have other arrangements during the day, and Sheriff Reka and I will cooperate with you at night."
Oreo explained, then handed a box to Angelyl.
"This is an alchemical weapon shipped from the Venada Empire, and you can use it when necessary."
