Chapter 605: Inch of grass out of the mountain
In the evening of that day, the 90-year-old aristocratic leader once again drove to the hotel in the lower tower of Stat, and came with a ticket of forty or fifty people. Start also hurriedly greeted him with his men, not much different in terms of numbers, but far from in quality. Start's men are all employees, and almost all of the opponent's men are thugs. The employees were even curious, thinking that the boss had hired a new business.
In the luxurious private room of the tavern, the old nobleman sat opposite, and behind him stood two bodyguards, their eyes slightly murderous, and their faces sank like water. A black suit, with gloves, full of momentum. And Starter and Mr. Cunkusa sat across from each other, and there were only five people in one room.
The dishes on the table kept coming up from afar, and the two bottles of red wine had been poured separately, and everyone raised their glasses to mean something, but no one drank it. No one ate the food on the table, and the atmosphere in the room seemed tense for a while.
The old nobleman smiled and spoke standard fluent imperial Chinese: "Don't be nervous, you can eat as you like." Both of them are foreigners, and they have come to our country to treat me. ”
Cuncao just laughed dryly, and Start took over: "Actually, this time I'm here to talk about a business about robotic arms." But I've heard that the robotic arm is also your industry?"
"Not all," the old nobleman said truthfully, "the core part of the magic array is my property. As for some other components, they are generally outsourced. ”
"Ah, that's actually your business," Statt said with admiration, "You're so humble, and if someone like you is humble, how can we be mixed up......?"
The old nobleman also smiled with a smile: "Hehe, they all think that my family has a big business, but the officials I photographed to investigate can still be inserted to death in the bathing center." I haven't been able to find a problem so far, hehe. ”
Starter and Cuncao looked at each other and didn't answer for a while.
The old nobleman continued: "The last time I came to you, you said you should think about it. Now I'll come back to you, I don't know what you're thinking about?"
Start coughed dryly: "This is actually your internal affairs, and it is really inconvenient for us to interfere." ”
The old nobleman sneered: "Whether it's an internal affair or not, you have to check it to find out." There are many doubts in this case, although the person who died was just a little brother and not a big man, but the way he died was bizarre, and the timing was very accurate. There must be a lot of insider information in this, and I can't trust the sheriff now, and the private detectives around here are not as good as my little brother. Come to think of it, it's just you. ”
Mr. Cunkusa looked hesitant.
"I've seen quite a few of you," the old nobleman changed his seat, "and I'm impressed by the powerful chain explosions and drag racing skills." I don't remember the reasoning anymore, though, because I'm old. ”
Inch grass: "......"
"And this time it really made me feel a similar way, there were also many bases that were bombed before the killing, and I don't know if there was a connection. I have a vague feeling that if this matter is not resolved immediately, something big will happen. ”
Stadt laughed dryly: "But after all, there is a difference between the author and the actual investigation......"
The old nobleman interrupted directly: "We have also investigated, and we did a good job of solving the necromancer last time, and it is not just a matter of paper. As for other security issues, I can send professional bodyguards to protect you 24 hours a day, and also send an investigation team to cooperate with you throughout the process. As long as the truth is found out, I will have another 10 million crystal coins to give. It doesn't matter if you can't find out, I will definitely send you back to China safely. ”
"This ......" Cuncao turned his head to look at Stat, and Statt desperately signaled with his eyes not to agree.
"There is only one truth, and this sentence runs through you," the old nobleman sighed, "and the protagonist of your pen will not be as indecisive as you." ”
Mr. Cuncao lowered his head, a look of shame on his face.
Start hurriedly spoke: "That's it, don't take it seriously." ”
"No!" Cuncao finally raised his head, gritted his teeth and made a decision, "I promise you." ”
"Okay!" the old nobleman directly applauded and celebrated, "I'll arrange it for you right away, you wait a while." After speaking, he glanced at the bodyguard behind him, and a bodyguard immediately walked out the door. On the side, Start saw that it was a foregone conclusion, and could only keep smiling.
"I promise, but I can't guarantee that I'll find out," Mr. Cunkusa added, "of course I'll do my best to let the truth come to light." ”
The old nobleman nodded: "I can understand, no one can guarantee anything for this kind of thing, but I believe in you, just do your best." ”
Cuncao turned to Start: "I'm sorry, I may have to delay a few more days." ”
"It's okay," Stadt smiled, "your choice is right, there is only one truth!"
There was two knocks on the door of the private room, and the bodyguard who had just gone out came in, and at the same time brought in three people, two men and one woman. The two men also seem to be bodyguards, while the woman is dressed as a maid, with a beautiful face, fair skin, long hair like waves, and a fragrance that hits people.
The old nobleman nodded and pointed at the two men: "These two are the bodyguards I selected for you, an eighth-order powerhouse, a warrior, a fire mage, and they have been cooperating with partners for many years." It is already a first-class powerhouse in China, and there is basically no problem with their protection. ”
A bodyguard stepped forward and threw a punch in the air, almost unintelligible, but please hear the "pop" clearly, and then feel a wave of air blowing.
Start and Cuncao glanced at each other, both of them were people who knew the goods. This is the sound produced by striking the air with bare hands. Just like a whip can make a sound when it is whipped in the air, and this person just uses his hand instead of a whip, and the sound is louder than that of a whip, but his face is as light as usual, and his strength is beyond doubt.
"This one is the maid I have assigned to you, or a female secretary," the old nobleman continued, "she is very talented, and she is proficient in many Chinese languages, Imperial Chinese, Lou Pauler Chinese, and Sbarasi Chinese." She can also be responsible for daily life, of course...... At night, if ...... Gee...... The pressure is relatively high, and you can also find her to solve it. ”
The female secretary looked slightly shy and turned her head away. The old nobleman smiled, took a sip of wine, and had an expression on his face that understood everything. And Start and Cuncao were a little overwhelmed.
After a while, Cuncao finally stood up and shook hands with the three of them politely, which was considered to be a acquaintance. The old nobleman continued, "There is also a team of investigators, now outside the door, waiting for your dispatch. ”
Cuncao nodded: "Don't worry, I will do my best." However, aspects that have nothing to do with the investigation of the case are unnecessary. As for the stress, I'll take care of it myself. After Cuncao finished speaking, he walked out of the private room proudly.
Everyone: "......"
Starter hurriedly said hello to everyone and followed. The old nobleman gave him a look, and the two men and a woman who were rationed with grass also followed, leaving only the old nobleman and his two personal bodyguards in the room.
The bodyguard looked around to make sure that there was no one nearby, and then asked in a low voice: "Master, some things seem inconvenient to say to outsiders." ”
"It's all right, he can say whatever he asks, and let him check whatever he wants," replied the old nobleman, "but take care of people, and don't show it." And as for the ...... after the check."
The bodyguard understood: "Okay. ”
At noon, Mr. Cunkusa, who had adapted to his new identity, immediately led a group of gangsters to the sheriff's building. If you want to investigate the case, you naturally have to start here, and a large number of dossiers are here. But here they hit the nail on the head.
The sheriff who was present insisted that they not be allowed to meddle in the case, and it was useless for the gangsters to say they knew whomever they knew. The chief sheriff of the city himself arrived, and brought a large group of guards to surround them.
However, the gangsters are not afraid, the sheriff here does not have any authority or anything like that, although the gangsters are smaller in number and poorer in equipment, but their personal strength is also considered top-notch. Even if there is a real fight, it will not necessarily suffer. The sheriffs are also well aware of this, and the other party's background is very deep, even the city lord has to weigh it, and they must be more cautious in dealing with it.
And around, the parrots have occupied the branches, looking like onlookers are watching the show. I know that there are also parrots that specialize in delivering food to serve the parrots who watch the play. It is estimated that in half a day, today's events will spread throughout the city.
"I'll repeat," the head of the investigation team under Cuncao stood up and spoke, "we only need the corresponding investigation report, if you don't want to give it, we can read it here." Is this necessary?"
"I'm sorry, I understand your feelings," the captain stepped forward and responded formulaically, "but we have rules, ordinary people are not qualified to intervene in the investigation, and we can't show you the details of the investigation. ”
"Our lord should have already said hello. ”
"I'm sorry, I didn't receive any greetings," the captain stiffened, "or you go directly to the city lord, if the city lord speaks, then I naturally have nothing to say." ”
"It's such a trivial matter, why bother with the crowd? Just take a look?" the head of the investigation team also raised his voice.
"No!" Captain Masashi refused.
And Mr. Cuncao was protected in the center, and he didn't understand Smitta's Chinese very well, but he only felt tense and nervous: "Fa, what happened?"
"Sir, don't be nervous," the bodyguard gently reassured, "these sheriffs are no match for us. ”
The leader of the investigation team seemed to remember something, and hurriedly turned around and introduced: "I forgot to introduce, this one is a famous mystery writer, Mr. Busheng." This time, we specially invited him to come and assist us and to assist you in the investigation. ”
The parrot on the branch suddenly became interested, and there was a burst of chirping.
The captain was also stunned, and whispered a few words to the subordinates around him, and then went up and nodded politely, and changed the emperor's Chinese: "I have admired the name for a long time, but ...... If it is a commercial event, I would like to take the commercial route. Our sheriff also has a civilian officer who will be happy to connect with you. ”
"It's not business, it's an investigation!" The head of the investigation team had already answered first, and he simply used the imperial Chinese, "I am not afraid to tell the truth today, our people died in vain, I doubt the ability of your sheriff, you can't find any murderer at all." There is no way, we can only find out ourselves, the best detective we hired, he can tell you only one truth. ”
The captain calmly observed for a moment and shook his head: "There is a big difference between a reasoner and a real case-solving, I hope you can understand." ”
"Hehe," the head of the investigation team sneered, "So, since the captain took office, how many major cases have he solved? How many of them ended in suicide?"
"You ......" the captain blushed for a moment.
The two sides argued for a while, mocking and sarcasm each other, but at least they didn't do anything. In the end, Mr. Cuncao could only speak in person: "That, everyone listen to me." A stiff fight won't help the investigation of the case, so let's withdraw first. ”
The gang members were silent for a moment, but the head of the investigation team spoke: "Since Mr. Cuncao said so, then we won't say anything." That's it for today, withdraw!"
The sheriffs automatically moved out of the way, and the gangsters left haughtily, with only Mr. Cuncao sandwiched in the middle, looking a little embarrassed. As a foreigner, it is really difficult to directly partner with the local gang to scare the sheriff, and his name is called out.
After returning home, the gangsters found a nearby hotel and settled down, and then gathered in Mr. Cunkusa's room for a meeting. Two bodyguards dutifully stood behind him, the maid brought tea and water, and a group of investigators sat in front of them in an orderly manner. For a moment, Cuncao had the illusion that he was really the boss, but he knew very well that this was an illusion.
"Sir," said the head of the investigation team, "don't be too pessimistic, we have a ...... within the sheriff Acquaintance, I can ask him to ...... the corresponding information and dossier Give it to us. We'll just finish reading it and put it back for him. ”
Cuncao fell silent.
"Sir?" asked the head of the investigation team again.
"Ahem," Cuncao coughed twice, "I think it's better to do it properly." ”
"Sir," the head of the investigation team smiled, "the protagonist in you often doesn't use proper means to investigate cases, and it's the norm to climb over the wall and enter the house to turn over things, and the sheriff in is often just a foil." ”
Mr. Cuncao smiled awkwardly: "The murder methods in China are actually mostly not feasible. ”
"Sir, actually, ......"
Cun Cao waved his hand directly: "I admit that I may have some good reasoning skills, but I am indeed inferior to the sheriff in some professional knowledge, and I am a foreigner, and I don't know much about many national conditions." I had to go into the Sheriff's House and go through the file and check all the details. Maybe I want to investigate other related cases, and now even I don't know what files I want to check myself, how can you steal them for me?
Everyone was silent and could only nod.
"By the way, I may be a mouthful, but I always feel that the sheriff's attitude towards you seems to be ...... Not so good. Cuncao couldn't help but ask.
The maid on the side smiled: "We do have some conflicts with the sheriff, but it's not a big problem. On the one hand, our family has a big business and a complicated relationship. In fact, you should also understand that it is impossible to simply argue about right and wrong when the family business is large to a certain extent. ”
"Oh. Cuncao nodded.
