Chapter XVIII

"I've been working in research institutes, shouldn't my progress be judged by my research level? Why do you tell me to hunt down criminals......" Yi Daoren, who was full of complaints in his heart, complaining that Kim Bradley had arranged for himself to chase a midnight corpse demon named Barry and that he had no more time to study alchemy, "Why don't I take this opportunity to leave Central City?" ”

The thought of leaving Central City came to mind, but after glancing at Alex Louis Armstrong, who was tall and sturdy, and Mars Xiuz, who had an unpleasant smile on the corner of his mouth, Yi Daoren sighed: "Xiuzi Shaozo, Armstrong Shaozo, do you have any information about the criminal named Barry?" ”

Shaking his head, Mas Xiuz said: "He is very well hidden, the events so far have happened in the middle of the night, and the information obtained by the intelligence department only shows that he is the owner of a butcher shop, and the first person to kill is his wife...... This guy deserves to go to hell! ”

As a man who is very close to his wife, Maas Huz learned of Barry's actions, and naturally hated Barry to the extreme. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Pouting, Yi Daoren said lightly: "Then what should we do?" Several ladies have been killed in the middle of the night, and if this continues, everyone in Central City will be in danger, and trust in the army will also be reduced. It won't be long before Fortesset is at war. ”

"That's why President Bradley arranged for you and Armstrong to assist me in arresting Barry!"

"I don't know where he is and how he caught him...... The people he killed were all women, and they were beautiful women, and it seemed that he had a great grudge against beautiful women, why don't you find a beautiful woman to wander in the alleys at night, and then we praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind? ”

Alex Louis Armstrong nodded, touched his chin and smiled, "It's a good idea, but it's not a good man's job to put a lady in danger...... Prayer easy, you look skinny...... Why? ”

"Don't give me any bad ideas!" Glaring coldly at Alex Louis Armstrong, Yi Daoren withdrew the hand that was beaten on Alex Louis Armstrong's chest but was stopped, and said lightly: "Is there anyone in the army who is willing to help?" ”

"Well......" After making a thoughtful expression, Maas Xiuz suddenly smiled as if he had thought of something, "By the way, Lieutenant Hawk Ai and Mastan Zhongzuo will come to Central City in the next two days, why don't you ask Lieutenant Hawk Ai to do a favor?" Although the praying person is thin, he looks like that, and he shouldn't be able to seduce Barry. ”

"Mastan in them?" Yi Daoren's brows furrowed slightly, and he secretly shouted in his heart that trouble was coming, but he said lightly: "Xiuzi Shaozuo, your words are very unpleasant!" And didn't I say don't call me a praying? ”

"Don't care, these are just small things...... Right, Armstrong Shaozo. ”

"That's right! Prayer Easy, what a good title! Unlike the Yi Dao people who secretly cried out for trouble, Alex Louis Armstrong said with a smile on his face: "Will they come?" It would be great if they were willing to help! Flame Alchemist and Hawkeye, with the help of these two, there must be no problem in catching a little corpse shredding demon! ”

"Tsk!" Smacking his lips, Yi Daoren turned his head unhappily, but suddenly saw a gray-haired old man wearing a completely different costume from the costume of the Amestrisian country looking at him, but when he looked over, the old man turned around and left directly, making Yi Daoren's brows furrow.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Yi Daoren's brows furrowed, Mas Xiuz thought that Yi Daoren had discovered something, so he immediately followed Yi Daoren's gaze, and then squinted his eyes slightly and said, "Aren't you really from Xinguo?" Prayer is easy. ”

"No, what's wrong?"

"That man should be a merchant from the new country, as you can tell by looking at his clothes." After observing Yi Daoren's expression, seeing that Yi Daoren's face showed a less obvious look of surprise, Mas Xiuz smiled: "Seeing you looking at him, I thought you knew him." ”

"Are you from Xinguo...... Yi Daoren's brows relaxed, and after thinking about it, he smiled: "Then I have to get to know him, and if I have the opportunity to go to Xinguo in the future, I will have someone to borrow." ”

After Yi Daoren's words, Mas Xiuzi's eyes instantly sharpened, and his brows furrowed slightly, but after looking at Yi Daoren carefully for a moment, he smiled again: "Then let's get to know each other now, we still have to work at night." ”

Yi Daoren looked at Maas Xiuz in some surprise, and then smiled: "Then see you in the evening, Shaozo Xiuzi, Shaozo Armstrong." ”

"See you in the evening"

"See you in the evening"

Yi Daoren saluted a military salute according to etiquette, and then walked in the direction where the old man of the new country had left.

After seeing Yi Daoren leave, Alex Louis Armstrong suddenly whispered, "Why did you let him contact the new people?" ”

"There's no way we're going to stop him from meeting the new people. Rather than let him be provoked by us to join the Central Military Department, it is better to let him have the possibility of leaving! Pushing his glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hand, Maas Xiuz smiled, "And, Roy, they're already in Central City!" ”

"Uh...... You're really good at bluffing. ”

According to the information obtained from the inquiry on the road, after Yi Daoren turned left and right, he came to the entrance of an alley, and he couldn't help frowning.

He came to chase the old merchant of the new country, and planned to establish a good relationship with the old merchant of the new country, and if he escaped from the country of Amestris, he would also have a place to defect in the future.

But the situation in front of him made him know that the old businessman of the new country he was planning to deal with did not seem to be an easy object to deal with!

"What do you have to do with me? Mr. Captain of the Kingdom of Amestris. ”

The old but energetic voice came from behind, making Yi Daoren stiffen, turned around to look, and saw the old businessman of Xinguo who was close at hand, goosebumps suddenly broke out all over his body.

After Yi Dao people learned the perception of dragon veins, their own perception became more and more acute, not to mention the old businessman of Xinguo who touched his back in an uninhabited alley like this, which was close at hand and could instantly take his life, even if it was in the crowd, he would also have a perception of the person behind him!

But this old businessman of the new country quietly touched his back...... Dangerous! Very dangerous!

With this understanding in his heart, Yi Daoren was a little hesitant for a while to have a relationship with this old businessman of the new country.

If you accidentally get out of the wolf's den and enter the tiger's mouth, it is not funny to describe, Yi Dao people don't want to become that kind of bitter existence.

"Mr. Captain?" Seeing that Yi Daoren did not answer his question, the old businessman of Xinguo raised his eyebrows and asked again, but his tone was a little unhappy.

"Sorry, rude." Coming back to his senses, Yi Daoren first apologized, and then said with a smile: "My name is Yi Daoren, because of the name, it has always been thought to be related to Xinguo, but I have never seen Xinguoren, and now when I see the old man, I want to get acquainted." ”

It is not surprising that the old businessman of the new country will know that he is a captain, he is now wearing not the white coat of a researcher in the Third Research Institute, but the blue military uniform of the Amestris Country, and there is also a captain's epaulette representing his identity on his shoulder.

"Yi Daoren?" The old businessman of Xinguo was stunned, and after looking at Yi Daoren in surprise, he nodded slightly and said, "The old man's surname is Hu, you can call me Lao Hu." ”

After introducing himself, Lao Hu looked at Yi Daoren again, then frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Yi really hasn't seen Xinguoren?" So how do you know alchemy? ”

"Uh...... Can you tell I can do alchemy? Yi Daoren looked at Lao Hu in surprise.

"It seems that you are really not from the new country...... shook his head, and said with a smile: "Your qi and the qi of nature live in harmony and are inseparable, this is a phenomenon unique to alchemists, although the alchemists of the country of Amestlis can also sense the qi of nature, but they cannot live in harmony with it." ”

"I see...... Thank you for your advice! Lao Hu knows so well about alchemists, isn't he also an alchemist? ”

Shaking his head, Lao Hu smiled and said, "I'm not an alchemist, just a martial artist who can use a few fists and kicks." ”

"Takefu? Does it mean a martial artist? Yi Daoren looked at Lao Hu in surprise.

Although Lao Hu spoke in a full voice, he was not tall, only to Yi Daoren's chin, and Yi Daoren's height was one meter eight, which was converted to Lao Hu's height was about one meter six, and he looked thin again, so Yi Daoren didn't believe that Lao Hu was a martial artist.

But thinking that Lao Hu could go around his back silently without being noticed by himself, Yi Daoren believed it a little again.

However, compared to martial artists, Yi Daoren feels that Lao Hu is more like a killer...... Of course, this kind of judgment will not be said without brains: "Then Lao Hu, you must be a powerful martial artist!" ”

"It's not powerful, it's just that it can deal with ordinary thieves." Smiled a little casually, Lao Hu suddenly took out a pocket watch and looked at the time, frowned and said, "It's all this time...... I'm sorry, Captain Yi, I still have something to do and can't talk to you. Well, if you have something to do with me, go to the Hilton Hotel and find me. Until October, I stayed at the Hilton Hotel. ”

"I'm sorry to bother you for so long."

With a wave of his hand, Lao Hu turned around and left, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said lightly: "Is Captain Yi from Amestris?" ”

"Why do you ask?" Yi Daoren frowned slightly.

"It's nothing, it's just that some of your habits are different from those of Amestris...... Of course, this may also be due to my lack of familiarity with the country of Ametris. I have only been in this country for a month, and I hope that Captain Yi will take care of me more in the future. ”

After speaking, Lao Hu turned around and left without waiting for Yi Daoren's answer.

"What a careful person...... Lao Hu ...... Is it really a businessman? Seeing Lao Hu's thin figure drifting away, Yi Daoren stood in place and thought for a moment, then turned around and walked in another direction, where was the direction he went home.

Although it is only three o'clock in the afternoon, since Barry comes out to commit crimes at night, the working hours of Yi Daoren, who want to arrest Barry, have also been adjusted to the evening, and he should take a break at this time and doze off at night when he works.

But when he returned to the front of his house, Yi Daoren suddenly saw a somewhat familiar person in front of his house, holding a letter and stuffing it into the mailbox.

"Mr. Tucker? What's the matter? After thinking about it for a while, Yi Daoren suddenly remembered that person was the one he had interviewed last year, and the only alchemist who wanted to work at the Third Research Institute.

It's just that at that time, Shaw Tucker didn't have any research results at all, and only submitted some theoretical things, which he refused.

Startled by Yi Daoren's voice, Shaw Tucker immediately turned around, and when he saw Yi Daoren, he was stunned for a moment: "Researcher Yi? Forehead...... I'm fine, why are you back so early? Forehead...... Are you still a captain? ”

Aren't Yi Daoren researchers at the Third Research Institute? Why did you become a captain in the army again?

Looking at the Yi Dao people in military uniforms, Shaw Tucker felt a little confused for a moment.

"I was originally a captain, but I only worked at the Third Research Institute. Now that the president has an order, he can only come out to work......" Smiling, Yi Daoren stretched out his hand to his home and said, "Come in and have a cup of coffee." ”

"No, thank you, Researcher Yi...... Captain. Quickly waving his hand, Shaw Tucker smiled a little embarrassedly: "I came to show you some of my research reports, didn't you tell me about the concept of genes before?" I seem to have found something. ”

Hearing Shaw Tucker say that he had really researched some genes, Yi Daoren was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Isn't that more important to come in and talk?" ”

According to the impression of Yi Dao people, genes store all the information about the race, blood type, gestation, growth, apoptosis and other processes of life, if Shaw Tucker really researches something, then it will definitely be a major event that will shake the alchemy world of the entire Amestris!

Shaking his head, Shaw Tucker smiled wryly, "No need, you can read my research report first." My wife just gave birth and I still need to go back and watch ...... Otherwise, I don't even know what she's going to count me into. ”

"That's ...... Is it so urgent? Looking at Xiao Tucker who was smiling bitterly, Yi Daoren nodded, and after thinking about it, he smiled: "Then let's do it, you can tell me your address, and I will go to you when I have time and talk to you about genetics." ”

"Really?" His eyes lit up, and Shaw Tucker smiled, "I live in ......"

After watching Xiao Tucker, who was smiling with a smile on his face, Yi Daoren looked at the thick stack of research reports in his hand and smiled: "I didn't expect that someone would really study something casually...... Let me see if you surprise me. ”

While flipping, Yi Daoren opened the door and walked into the house.

However, Yi Daoren didn't notice that in the shadow of one of his houses, two people were watching him enter the room, and one of them was Lao Hu, whom he had talked to a few words before!

"Hu Lao, is that guy following you?"

"That's right. Help me investigate his origins! ”

"Yes!"

After the other person left, Lao Hu looked at Yi Daoren's house for a while, and whispered: "The sun and the moon are easy...... This surname is also rare in our new country, and I didn't expect to see one here. I don't know if you can be a help for the young lord to compete for the crown prince in the future. Your Majesty's body won't last a few years......"
