Chapter Forty-Eight: Partner Jose

When the Heart of the Fog was caught in this storm, the political scene of the capital was also surging. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But when it comes to politics, José never thinks about it, he's just a detective, taking the case and finding out the truth, that's his job, that's all.

There is no essential difference between this incident and Jose, although it is his uncle Hegu Danhuisheng who is on the cusp at the moment, and it is his family Hegu family who is implicated, but what he has to do is still to find out the truth, but there is one more link to make it public, but this part of the matter Sophia will deal with, and he doesn't need to worry about it, as for how this political turmoil will end after the case is over, it is not within his scope of concern.

But if it were my former self, I would definitely not think about political influence. José knows that he has changed a little in the past two years, and although he is still an emotionless monster, he has begun to occasionally try to think in a normal way of thinking compared to two years ago.

José still thinks that killing the little girl on his first big mission is the most reasonable solution for the situation, but he occasionally wonders if he is really wrong in an emotionally sound mindset.

He didn't mind that Frank Koch was hostile to him, he never cared about relationships. Sophia once told him that in today's situation, all friends can't fully believe it.

The question didn't bother him, though, because José didn't remember having friends, and he never fully trusted anyone. He is only able to deduce a person's code of conduct based on what he knows about him.

And Gulenk Koch is a very emotional person, he has studied with Dan Huisheng for a while, and the probability that he will betray Dan Huisheng is very low. In the light of the analysis of the current situation, the risk of contact with him is well within acceptable limits.

As for whether Gurenc Cocchi would welcome his visit, José did not think about it.

The farm is located about thirty kilometers northwest of the Elven River, which is not far away, and with some magic, it will take about an hour to get there.

Kotch's farm was a small farm, covering no more than thirty or forty acres of land, of which only a little fruit tree was planted on the average land, but at this time of year only bare branches remained, and it was impossible to tell what kind of species it was.

The farm is fenced off with a wooden fence, and a path leads through a wooden door to the wooden house on the farm. José stopped in front of the wooden door, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and put his hand on it. There was a simple protective magic on the wooden door, but he could crack it with one hand.

The faint glow of the magic collapse flashed across the wooden door, and José easily pushed it away, but then he heard Sophia's voice coming from behind.

"Master Jose, there's a doorbell here. She pointed to a small anchor on the lamppost by the wooden door.

"Boss, are you trespassing on a private house like this?" asked Emilio, who came along.

José didn't answer, but looked back at her. Her breathing was at a steady pace, she didn't sweat too much, and even though she had been out of the army for many years, it didn't look like her physical fitness had dropped too much, at least enough for most of her agent work.

The sound of the door opening came from the hut not far away, and Kochi appeared behind the door with a magic ball in his hand, and when he saw everyone, he looked surprised, "Jose?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gurrank, but it was a bit rude for us to visit suddenly. Sophia walked up and said.

"Are you?" asked Kocchi as he lifted the orb from his hand.

José interrupted the conversation between Kochi and Sofia and said, "Gurunk Kochi, I have a mission that I need your assistance with. ”

Kochi turned to look at him, his face was not very good-looking, "José, I'm on vacation right now, I have a private life outside of work, and I have a doorbell outside my yard." ”

"Master Jose. Sofia pressed José's shoulder before he could continue to speak, then walked up to him, "Mr. Gurrank, please don't take Master José's actions to heart. ”

Kochi rolled his eyes, "It's not the first day I've known him, so I'm not going to be mad about it." ”

"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Goulac. I'm Sophia, the maid of the Hegu family. Sophia said with a smile.

Kochi nodded and asked, "What are you doing here, I don't remember inviting anyone to come." ”

"Mr. Koch, do you know anything about the recent political events in the capital?" asked Sophia.

"What's going on in the capital?" Kochi's expression became solemn, "I don't pay much attention to work when I'm on vacation. ”

"Kochi, who's out there?" a woman's voice came from inside the room.

"Yes....... A few colleagues!" Koch shouted back.

"Colleague?" a female demon appeared behind Kochi, striking that she was a pregnant woman, and judging from her towering belly, it wasn't too far from her due date.

José knew the pregnant woman, Parish Ismay, the wife of Guran Kochi, but the last time he saw her was years ago, when she and Kochi had just married and he was Kochi's assistant.

But Ismay obviously didn't recognize her, she looked at the crowd and said, "You are all Koch's colleagues, it's so cold outside, come in and sit for a while." ”

José doesn't understand feelings, but for the needs of his work, he has some research on the changes in human expressions, and he notices that the smile on Isme's face is a little stiff, which, according to psychological analysis, shows that the other party does not really want to laugh.

However, why Ismay smirked was not in his consideration, she was not his mortal, and he didn't need to analyze the psychological changes that might be behind every change in expression. He simply complied with her invitation and walked into Kochi's cabin.

"Mei, I didn't know that a colleague would come, I really took half a year off. Kochi's voice came from behind.

Ismay replied, "You are in such a hurry to explain what you are doing, and I have not said anything. ”

"You're not angry?" asked Koch.

Instead of answering him, Ismay came over and led the three visitors to the living room, and asked enthusiastically, "Have you had dinner?"

"I've eaten it. José replied bluntly.

Ismail paused for a moment, she laughed dryly, and asked, "Have the two of us met before?"

"I worked as an assistant to Gulen Koch. José's answer was brief.

Ismay suddenly realized, "I remember, you're Hegu Jose. ”

"Madame, would you take the liberty of asking, when your child will be born?" asked Emilio.

Ismay stroked her abdomen and replied, "The doctor said the due date is next month." ”

"Is it a boy or a girl?" Emilio asked.

Kochi, who had just walked into the living room, picked up the conversation: "It's a boy, and we're going to name him Potter, just like his maternal grandfather." ”

Emilio said, "Congratulations. ”

"Thank you. Ismay glanced back at her husband, got up, and said, "Please make it here for a while, and I'll make a pot of tea." ”

With that, Ismay left the living room, leaving it to her husband and José.

Kochi looked at the guests in the living room, his expression was not very friendly, "I explained in advance, I asked for half a year off, and I promised Isme to accompany her until the birth of the child." ”

Jose has never had the concept of a holiday, so he doesn't know exactly what Cocci meant, he can only understand this as the other party wants him to get to the point, so he said: "Gerus Cherly died, just the day before yesterday." ”

"How come?" Koch's face changed suddenly, and he asked, "What is the case?"

Jose replied in a tone that did not contain any emotion, "I took over the investigation of 'Time Zero', and the clues point to the Heart of the Mist, and Mao Wen did not cooperate with my investigation. Sir Patrickus Cherry took over my job in the Heart of the Mist, but she failed and was executed by Mauvin. ”

Kochi was silent for a while, then he sighed and asked, "So why are you coming to me?" ”

José was going to continue answering, but Sophia said, "Master José, let me tell you." ”

She looked at Kochi and explained: "The case that Young Master Jose took over this time involved a wide range of things, involving some Valhalla elders, so Master Dan Huisheng secretly sent Cherie into the Heart of the Mist to investigate, because everything was done in secret, so the official did not recognize Cherry's actions, and the Mao Wen detained Prince Andre accordingly." Although this matter has not yet been publicized, the garrisons of the three provinces around the Misty Forest are already being mobilized, and Master Dan Huangsheng is also being held accountable by the Senate for this. ”

"If things continue to develop, it's a civil war?" asked Kochi with a somber expression.

Sophia smiled wryly, "I'm afraid so." ”

"So you're coming to me for?" Kochi looked at them, "and, what is the role of this Miss Doctor?"

Emilio answered her second question first, "If it's official, I'm temporarily acting as his assistant now, and he's the inspector of my internship. ”

As for the first question, it was answered by Sophia, "Because of the current situation, we can't confirm whether the others are credible, and Master Jose trusts you very much, and he said that he needs your help." ”

"He, trust me?" said Kocchi, pointing at Jose with a grimace.

"You will not betray Mr. Jose replied, "And you're working on hyper-teleportation to be able to take us to the Misty Forest." ”

"Studying teleportation?" Kochi said, staring at him, "That's just an excuse to take a leave of absence, you know, an excuse." ”

"Are you going to teleport over the distance?" asked Jose bluntly.

Kochi sighed, "A little, but I'm a little more proficient in short- and medium-range teleportation." ”

"Let's go now, then. José said directly.

"Wait, I haven't said anything yet!" Kochi said, standing up.

"I've kept you waiting. It was at this time that Ismay returned with a tray containing teapot cups, and she poured a cup of tea for everyone, and José noticed that her eyes were a little red.

When he was done, Ismay walked up to Kochi and whispered, "I've prepared your salute for you." ”

Kochi was shocked, "May, I haven't answered ...... yet"

Ismay interrupted him by pressing her hand to his lips, "Don't forget you promised me that you would be by your side when Potter was born. ”

With that, she fled out of the living room.

Cocchi looked at her back in a daze, and only then turned his head halfway, looked at Jose, and said seriously: "It's okay to ask me for help, but you have to make sure that the command is mine." ”

José looked at him and replied, "Yes." ”
