Volume 1 – Showers Chapter 74: Clues
Codename "Green" doesn't know how to pass a secret note to Wilhouse Munster:
Mr. Munster, Susan Dundees is safely kept in the hands of the Silencer. The holy meeting was approaching, and the dukes had already stayed at the Falkenridge Hall.
The Orzhov Chamber of Commerce brought a lot of tails from this trip, but all these rats returned in vain, and as for the problem of cleaning up, Mr. Munster was left to solve it himself.
Susan Dundees can't do her Silent Man training just yet—at least not at this time. The Silencers will be responsible for dealing with Miss Dundee's identity. When she regains the proper posture of a noblewoman, the Silence training can begin in earnest.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Orzhov Chamber of Commerce replied to the letter from Wilhouse Munster, head of affairs for the Silent Men of the Holy Falcon Empire, to the Falkenridge Chapter of the Silent Empire: Vice President and Instructor of the Silencers, codenamed "Verdant":
Dear "Green" lady, I apologize for the tail brought by the Orzhov Chamber of Commerce on this trip, and the Chamber of Commerce will be responsible for cleaning it up.
There is something I would like to ask the "green" lady. Elkeson Cook, the senior accountant of our Chamber of Commerce, was found dead today, and the Chamber of Commerce suspects that someone was deliberately targeting the chamber's senior accountant - two more senior accountants died in Ice Dragon's Mouth and Big Horn last month.
The Chamber of Commerce sought the intelligence support of the Silencers, and in return, the Chamber of Commerce would give the Silencers a free gift to a jewelry store located in the Brookbrook neighborhood of Falkenridge.

"Spado, do you see clearly? If you catch the wrong person, Mr. Michael will sneer at me! Joseph Claude cautiously asked the knight for confirmation.
"Big guy! Do you think I'm just as bad as you are? I'm sure the guy who just went upstairs has a tattoo of a subversive on his arm! Don't forget the riot planned by the Gruul tribe before, and there are still a batch of crossbows that have not been found, and those are 120 crossbows! If you let those thugs shoot around town, it's a massacre! The female knight, with her nose down, crouched down, grabbed the wine glass with her left hand, covered her mouth with her right hand, and said to Joseph in a low voice.
"Well, I'm just confirming! Spado. And I had a good look in my eyes, just now I just. Joseph argued, he was trying to find himself a staircase.
"You just accidentally patronized and drank and didn't see the tattoos of those thugs, did you?" Spa didn't say anything about it, and smacked Joseph on the back as he spoke.
Joseph was defenseless for a while, and a mouthful of unswallowed yellow soup squirted out of his mouth, but fortunately it did not spray on other guests, otherwise there would inevitably be a brawl in a place like a tavern.
Joseph casually wiped the wine foam on his beard with his sleeve, grabbed Spado, who was about to go upstairs, and said, "Spado! What are you going to do! ”
"Nonsense! Big man, let's go up and get someone. The knight was clearly unable to hold back.
Joseph grabbed Spado to prevent her from breaking free, and said, "Calm down, calm down! Spado. We go up and arrest people so rashly, what if the other party resists? We don't yet know if there are any of his accomplices in the room, and it's easy to cause a riot in a place like this, and that gang of thugs is likely to cause a riot or kill people in order to escape. That's not what we want to see, is it? ”
"Humph! You always have a lot of truth, Joseph! But the hateful thing is that I have to be persuaded by you every time - don't you always say that big guys have small brains? Spado sat back down in his chair and snatched Joseph's glass from his glass.
"Hey, hey! Spado, that's wisdom! Michael said the same thing! Joseph said proudly.
Spado asked the bartender to fill his glass, and took a big sip of it, waving his hand as if to drive something away.
"Well, let's not talk about that. Spado! I'll stay here and keep watch, and you go to the governor's mansion in the town at once to recruit a garrison, and be sure to surround the entire tavern, and we'll act in the early morning, and not a single one will escape. As long as we catch them alive, Mr. Michael will find a way to pry their mouths open! Joseph said firmly.
Spado nodded, grabbed Joseph's purse, and was about to leave the tavern.
"Hey! You're not doing that! Joseph shook his fingers dissatisfiedly.
"I'll come as long as I go, okay, I'll give you a few more, that's enough!" Spador threw three or five coppers on the table, and the coppers swirled and collided with each other.
Joseph muttered 'Alright, alright!' Go and go back. He covered the brass with both hands and gathered it on his chest.
Suddenly, Joseph stood up and shouted at Spado's back, "Damn it! That's my money bag! Spado, however, was out of the tavern door, leaving only the tavern's broken door dangling back and forth on a half-hinge. Joseph had no choice but to call the bartender in frustration, let him fill a glass, and then cocked Erlang's legs and slowly smacked it.

Night.
"What's going on inside? Mr. Claude? The executive of Murdoch and Spado ambushed in the wheat field outside the tavern, whispering to Joseph who had come out to meet him.
"The thug went in and out of the room again, and now he's not in the tavern, and I guess he'll come back. I snuck into the room with a drunken inquire, and there were at least 3 people in the room, but they were very guarded, I couldn't see the situation in the inner room, and the 3 people in the outer hall were normal - except for the subversive tattoos on their bodies! Moreover, I was sure that they must have been Rurik's men - a large man with a hood and a large robe, and his whole body was tightly covered, but I still skimmed his feet. I'm sure it's a troll's foot. ”
The executive in Murdoch's small town is a young man, and he doesn't have much real opportunities and experience to command the troops to maintain law and order—the previous executive retired because of his age, so he was kind of a duck on the shelf.
However, although the young man was a little nervous when he heard the word 'troll', the fact that he could continue to analyze the information and give orders to the garrison behind him showed that the young man was actually quite good.
"Mr. Claude, can you tell us about the characteristics of the others? If someone escapes, detailed characteristics can help us gain an advantage in pursuit. The young man asked.
"Oh, lad, I'm optimistic about you!" Joseph patted the young executive on the shoulder and said, "Well... One of the three men in the outer hall was a troll, his whole body covered in robes and hoods, and the other was a petite woman—just to my ribs, whose subversive tattoo was on her left arm; The other is a tall, thin man with a deep expression, a hooked nose, deeply inverted eye sockets, and his subversive tattoo on the bridge of his nose to the left side of his face. As for the other man... Oh! See! The man is back! ”
A well-proportioned man was seen wearing chain mail, wearing a short knife at his waist, and his subversive tattoo on his right arm. The man cautiously looked left and right, made sure there were no suspicious figures, and entered the tavern.
"That's him!" Spado said with certainty.
"May I ask Miss Doris, Mr. Claude, how do we act?" The executive officer asked.
Spado said to the young man, "I'll knock on the door and arrest him on the spot, and you just need to be responsible for dealing with emergencies." ”
"Then, when the two of you enter the tavern, I will send soldiers to surround the tavern, and I will arrange soldiers near the back door of the kitchen and the doors and windows on the second floor of the tavern, and catch them whenever a mob comes out! But let's bring a few soldiers in disguise! Mr. Claude had also said before that he was not sure how many thugs there were in the house, and if there were more than 5 people, the two of them would inevitably be injured if they fought in such a small room, even if the emperor blessed them. The young man suggested.
Spado thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement. The executor then ordered the four soldiers to take off their armor, put on chain mail and leather armor, and dress up as mercenaries.
"We're moving in the early hours of the morning, it's not the time, now, we just have to wait."
"Yes, miss!"
The group just lay in ambush on the periphery of the tavern. Gradually, the frolic and noisy atmosphere in the tavern gradually calmed down, and the lights were extinguished.
"For now, Joseph comes with me. Attention everyone! Those who can keep alive must keep alive! ”
