Chapter 12, Flower Imprint
The specially made tin carriage was parked outside the tavern, and Merlin was escorted by three police officers who were proficient in martial arts, and he was locked directly in the carriage by pushing and kicking. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The bell jingled and the carriage drove away.
It's just the direction of the carriage that makes Luger subconsciously look at it twice.
"Dad, this direction is out of the city, right?" Luger retracted his gaze, and when he saw the police officers in the tavern lining up, he couldn't help but grab Luffy, who was also leaving.
The southern part of the city is close to the suburbs, and if you take a horse-drawn carriage, you will not be able to see the wheat fields when you are only half a small silver sand.
"Hmm. A few days ago, a batch of jewels from the South Chess Company had been stolen, and the superintendent somehow found out about it, and they sent someone overnight to take the rights of the cousin. This arrest of Morin was the intention of the lieutenant who had come over from the Superintendent. ”
"Nance Jewels has been stolen?" Lugar couldn't help but look extremely shocked when he heard the news.
Because this is the Cabinet industry!
Similar jewelry stores are scattered throughout the Atrium, almost every city, and are named after some cities. Rumor has it that the profits made by the jewelry store in a year are still above the national tax revenue.
How could the cabinet not value such an important place? Almost every jewelry store was manned by a large number of soldiers who claimed to be mercenaries to the outside world, but were actually bloody armies.
The Superintendent of Police is subordinate to the police station, but the rank and power are still above the police station. It's just a name in the police station, using the rank of the army, and directly responsible to the cabinet. At the same time, it is also responsible for the protection of jewelry houses around the world.
In the Superintendent, even if it is just an ordinary police officer with a rank of rank, he is a master of vindictiveness.
But such a well-guarded jewelry store was actually stolen from a batch of jewelry?
"I'm going back late tonight, you talk to your mother. ”
"Got it. Luger nodded, and then quickly asked, "Dad, what task did your cousin give you before you participated in this theft?"
"Why are you asking this?" Luffy felt slightly strange, but he didn't ask carefully, he said quite disappreciatively: "It's not a big case, it's just a lot of toss, but it's easy to take credit." It's for me to protect the coming Mr. Merry, well—that is the well-known philanthropic gentleman and knightly viscount in Wilk Water City. ”
"When is he coming?" said Lugar, with a look of amazement, for he really knew about this Mr. Merry.
It was a very low, but extremely honorable person. His friends are almost all over Zezhou, whether they are rich or commoners, farmers and lawyers or doctors.
is a top-level nobleman, and there are many people who have a relationship with him.
"In a day or two, Mr. Merry will be almost there, but after the Nance Jewelry Company, Perk and I may be able to meet him with him. Saying that, Luffy shook his head and said with a little regret: "I originally wanted to get a list of jewelry stores for you this time in advance, so that you can deal with Anvis well, after all, the Moore family has been buying all kinds of jewelry everywhere recently." ”
"I should keep up too, don't play too late and go back early. Luffy gave Luger a few "old heads" and hurried to the police station's carriage.
As he stared at the departing police station convoy, Luger's eyes showed a strange color. His eyes couldn't help but squint slightly.
Gehr, who was familiar with Luger's temperament, couldn't help but quietly ask, "What's the matter?
"Not only is there a problem, but there is a big problem!"
Luger said, and then he suddenly asked Gehr, "Do you remember that at the Anvis house, I told you that I found something that I shouldn't know?"
"You mean...... Does the theft of the jewels have anything to do with Merry and the Moore family?" Gehr's logical connection was unusually fast.
Luger nodded, "The Moore family's acquisition of jewelry started two months ago. With the money they had saved from selling steam, they were able to buy a horrific amount of jewelry during this time. But when we went to their house, we didn't see a jewel on Anvis. It's his stepmother, and she doesn't have it on her!"
"Since the origin of the village and the end of tribal civilization, the emergence of the first dynasty, the dominant aristocracy has always been indispensable to the decoration of jewelry. Even I wore a cheap jade bracelet to hold up the façade. ”
"What does that have to do with Merry?"
"He has too many friends, and it's too coincidental! In addition, he has so many friends and is more well-informed, and the mirror matter should also be related to him. After all, as long as you know that we have dug up the grave of Emperor Funnes...... Although it was a mistake, we buried it again, and even the funeral goods were not touched. But that time, we had killed a lot of people, and even though it was the wizard's hand, it was inevitable that he was jealous of me, and suspected that there were strange creatures standing behind me. ”
"The old man has a funeral belongings?" said Gehr, who was full of amazement, and asked in a low voice, "What is it?" I saw only a torn mat, and the dried corpse was not even fully clothed. ”
"It's the curtain ......," Luger tugged at the corners of his mouth.
I really don't know who the person who buried the emperor is, and he is willing to curse, but he is reluctant to put some funeral goods, even if it is just a set of silver tableware that is only worth twenty "old man's heads"!
"Let's go......" Luger saw that Gehr looked at him strangely, and suddenly got up, and then said angrily, "We'll prepare tonight, and we'll explore the ruins tomorrow." Since Merlin has made up his mind, he must have gotten the news, and other forces have discovered it, so we must take some risks this time. ”
"But the pioneers who didn't help find the way?" Gel said in Luger's original tone, "and there are certainly no Transfiguration potions there, and it's too dangerous to go right now." ”
"You're clearly a dog, why do you keep thinking about becoming a human?"
"That wizard said that you don't have the talent to inherit and activate extraordinary powers, so why do you keep thinking about extraordinary powers?"
"I'd love to, can you manage it?" Luger glared at it.
"I'd love to!" Gell glared back, not to be outdone.
Then the black dog shook its head and tail very suddenly, and rolled on the spot, as if it was selling cuteness...... It's just a little ugly.,This cute looks a little infiltrating.。
Luger didn't care, he looked around, and soon noticed something unusual.
By this time they had left the tavern and walked back the way they came, and thus had entered the dark alley that had twisted and turned.
Through the street lamp on the corner, a little boy in shabby clothes and dirty can be seen standing there.
As soon as he saw Luger, he rushed over and asked in a childish voice, "Is it Mr. Luger?" I have here a letter from a man with a hat and a mask who asked me to give it to you. ”
"I am. ”
Luger said, taking the letter from the little boy. There was no envelope, just a folded piece of paper with a bright flower on it, which seemed to have been freshly dyed not long ago, and was still a little slimy. Just a little closer, you can smell a bloody breath rushing out of this flower.
This flower is dyed with blood!
Subconsciously staring at the flower, after looking at it for a long time, Luger opened the letter, and after two breaths, he closed the letter, then took out the quill pen he carried with him, and dipped it in his own saliva, so that the solidified ink in it dissolved.
He quickly wrote two words on the letterhead—read.
Then Luger returned the letter to the little boy, and did not give him an "old man's head", but said: "Your Excellency, please let them rest assured, believe me, I am a smart man, I know how to do it." ”
With that, he walked away quickly.
After turning a corner, Gehr couldn't hold back and asked, "There's something wrong with that kid?"
"I don't know!"
Luger shook his head, spread his hands, and said, "I just know that the beggars of Belnans were all arrested and put in prison a year ago. Because the youngest son of a certain big man, he was idle, and then he ran away in women's clothes to the place where the beggars gathered...... By the way, it's worth mentioning that we don't have female beggars in Bel Nance. ”
