Chapter 022: The Empty Room (Three Watches)
Snow's residence, except for the deserted mansion that was used to gather all the minions before a major event, no one knew where his private residence was. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Snow's industry, in addition to the two dark shops mentioned by Triangle Eye Ammons, is also known for only one store that handles all kinds of miscellaneous items at a low price.
As for Snow's connections, although he has some secret contacts with many nobles and wealthy businessmen, no one can say whether he has any real backers.
According to these people's scrambling answers, Snow seems to have been betrayed, extremely vigilant, his usual whereabouts are extremely secretive, he controls thieves and beggars, in addition to relying on those three henchmen, more because of his own strength.
That's right, in the underground forces of Lukang, Snow is definitely one of the few masters, a pair of daggers were used by him superbly, it is said that the law enforcement team has targeted him several times, but each time they can't keep his people.
After some inquiry, Syd was very dissatisfied, so Jiani raised his sword and disposed of the two directly, but there was still no gain, and the sword light moved again, and finally only the triangle-eyed Ammons and the fat man Arnold were left.
Without rushing to continue to inquire about the specific situation of the person suspected of being a blood axe, Syd made a little arrangement, and soon took Jiani and Triangle-Eyed Ammons on the road to the Malen district.
Judging from all kinds of information, the twelve short crossbows should have come out of the Mullen district.
Putting himself in the shoes of Snow, Syd felt that with Snow's vigilance, he would never let these crossbows flow outside for a long time.
"Snow should have the crossbow returned when the operation was over. I have already sent someone to keep an eye on the entrances and exits of Malen, and if the previous judgment is correct, there is a good chance that he is still in Malen District. ”
"Ammons, your task is to find a shop similar to the dark shop in Malen, and this is your vote, as long as you are done, you will be a full member of the Brotherhood, and no one will remember what you did in the past. ”
Said said this not only to Ammons, but also to Garney.
For his own maid, Said naturally understands that if he doesn't take special care of him, there is a past that tried to assassinate him, and Jiani will definitely give this triangular eye a good look in the future.
Judging from the current contact, this triangular eye should be regarded as a talent that can be used, it just so happens that the intelligence department is going to build a dark department, and there is an urgent shortage of people who can use it, and the triangular eye itself is the leader of the thieves, and he is relatively familiar with those points in the plan, if this person can use it well, the construction of the dark department may be further accelerated.
"Rest assured, people of Vega, I will do my best to serve you and serve the Brotherhood. Ammons nodded hurriedly and placed Vega's name in front of the Brotherhood.
Sure enough, it's a little thoughtful, no wonder he used to secretly pay attention to the affairs of Snow's secret shop...... The thought flashed, and Said said lightly: "I'm a fair person, as long as you have the ability and can do things well, then money and power are all indispensable to you, but there is another premise for this......"
His eyes nodded pointedly, and after a pause, he didn't continue, but turned his gaze to his maid: "When the affairs of the dark department are on the right track, on this basis, Jiani, you have to do one more thing." The stalls of the fraternity have already been rolled out, and it is inevitable that someone will push a nail into our midst, and there may even be. So, on the basis of the Shadow Ministry, I want you to select some more people and form a special task force to deal with our internal spies and traitors. ”
Ammons' heart suddenly froze, and Vega's words were clearly warning him. Those who can take refuge here today may of course take refuge in others tomorrow, and now that there is a knife hanging over their heads, then before making a choice, they have to think about it more.
Jiani nodded happily, she actually prefers simple and crude actions to deal with intelligence information, but the young master needs her to master the intelligence department, so she can only do it, and now she wants to set up a special affairs team, which is exactly what she wants.
The night was falling, and when the last rays of red light had disappeared into the sky and the moon was shining brightly, the Malen district had arrived.
At the entrance of the street, several peripheral members of the fraternity were still staring, and as soon as Syd and Jiani appeared, these people immediately recognized them from their conspicuous size, and hurriedly came up to greet and salute them.
Said spoke to them without a word, and then asked about it.
The Malen district has always been peaceful, and Snow the Black Hand has never been seen, and these people have not noticed anything unusual.
Soon after, Seid told them to work harder, and after calling a local to accompany them, he led the party into the streets.
A grocery store-like shop is remote and won't open every day......
As soon as the triangular eyes said a few characteristics, the locals thought about it with deep brows, and for a while, they still shook their heads.
This kind of shop obviously has no sense of existence, if there is no special reason, no one will pay attention to it at all, let him think directly, obviously he can't remember, maybe if he passes by, he can have an impression.
With these words, the four of them searched purposefully in Malen District, first in the remote area, and then in the dark alleys......
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the faint moonlight was falling, and it was only barely enough to see the road beneath their feet, which forced them to slow down a bit.
Only Seid was unaffected by the darkness.
Maybe it's because of the success of the secret technique, but Syd is more inclined to the influence of the Void Demon Worm, the night has very little effect on him, not to mention the moonlight, even if it is a secret room with no light at all, he can see everything within the range of three or four meters of his body.
"Boss, I seem to be a little impressed here...... If memory serves, there should be a shop in front of you...... Yes, I remember, when I passed by here before, I saw people come out with some tobacco leaves from inside. ”
When turning into a remote street, the locals hesitated for a moment, but quickly became sure again.
Tobacco is rarely found in ordinary grocery stores, so when he arrives here, he has an impression at once.
Ammons perked up when he heard this, and immediately widened his eyes, trying to see the situation around him more clearly.
This is his vote, only when it is completed, he can have a better way out!
Soon, the shop arrived.
It's a small shop with no name, the door has long been closed, and there is no light leaking inside, so I don't know if anyone is still there.
Outside the store......
Ammons' eyes shrank suddenly, and he saw something, and joy welled up.
"Adult ......"
Lowering his voice, Ammons nodded to Said, there was something wrong here.
Outside the store, an upside-down broom!
In Ammons's memory, Snow's other two dark shops also appear this situation from time to time, often at that time, when there are people inside!
"Stand back. ”
With a wave of his hand, telling them to step back first, Syd surveyed his surroundings again, and then walked straight to the door of the shop, his sword unsheathed inch by inch.
With every inch he pulled, the momentum on his body increased by a bit.
When he arrived outside the shop, the sword was all unsheathed, and his momentum had climbed to a peak state.
However, Syd did not force the door directly as usual, and had already experienced the sniping of the bow and crossbow, who knows if Snow would have arranged something more powerful in it.
Facing the door of the store, Syd urged the sword, and after a sword light, the door panel slammed, and a large piece was slashed.
One more sword, another sword, just four or five swords, and the door of the store was completely destroyed, but there was no movement inside.
The darkness could not hide Seid's eyes, and his gaze swept around the shop, and he flew up again, kicking the wreckage of the store door completely away, and then stepped into the house without a hurry.
Behind them, Garney also followed, while the two of Ammons shrank outside and waited quietly, the kind of underground boss like the black hand Snow was not something they dared to face.
Inside, there was a mess of goods everywhere, many of them covered with a layer of gauze, and in the innermost part of the room, a narrow door was tightly closed.
Said's ears were erected, and his gaze swept over every possible hiding place, step by step, and the sword stabbed into them from time to time, leaving nothing missing, but nothing to gain except to sweep out something that was rare in ordinary grocery stores.
Gradually, it got closer to the inner room.
Still turning sideways, Syd slashed the door with a few more swords, but the back room was also unresponsive.
When the door was opened, it was only a simple bedroom, except for a bed and a cabinet.
Entering unhurriedly, Syd suddenly slashed the cabinet in two with another sword, but no one!
On the bed, under the bed, no one is either!
