Chapter 21: This is War
Lambert immediately took Luke and Shelley to the castle.
Ground floor hall.
The body of the giant tree had been retracted, but the rubble and rotten bed that had fallen to the floor were still piling up there, and the holes above were shocking.
Shelley couldn't help but take a second look, and she knew that it was Jumu's room above.
Once she entered a secluded conference room, she couldn't help but ask Lambert, "What happened last night?" How did Giant Tree die? ”
Lambert invited Luke to sit at the top, and he and the Axe Leaders took their seats in turn.
Then he sighed and said, "Last night a female elf who claimed to be Clear Sky invaded here. She jumped down from the east tower and entered the castle through a window on the third floor.
And then......
It's a massacre.
She kills people so fast that we can't react at all. From the third floor to the second floor, more than a hundred of us died. The entire third-floor corridor and second-floor hall were covered in corpses and blood, with Chard, Bernie, Jabour, and Brenda all dead at her hands.
Eventually, the elves broke into the boss's bedroom and killed him, taking his head. ”
"Took the head?" Shelley frowned, and then said to Luke, "Detective, the elf should have taken the head of the giant tree to hand over the entrusted mission. There was an Assassin tavern in the Cape District, and we might be able to find some clues from them. ”
A maid poured a cup of tea for Luke.
"Thank you......" Luke thanked the maid very gentlemanly, and then said to Shelley, "We are not here to investigate the case, unless you have the ability to defeat her." ”
Shelley said very self-awarely, "No, I am no match for her. I'm afraid that in the entire Angry Waves City, there are not many people who can deal with this elf.
Being able to kill Giant Tree here proves that she is strong! ”
"Then let's not talk about elves." Luke said to Lambert, "Please understand...... We've already caused a lot of trouble this time, and we're not going to investigate this invasion for you. ”
Lambert said sincerely: "We will investigate this invasion ourselves." I just hope that the detective can solve the people outside for us, especially the sheriff's ...... We need some time for the scattered people to come back.
As long as our support arrives, we will have the ability to regain all the lost territory so that we can continue to pay dividends to the CIA. ”
Luke drank his tea and said lightly, "Your support? Is it a pirate? ”
The atmosphere in the room instantly froze.
Pirates have always been a key target of the Empire, and as a seaside port city, Angry Waves has zero tolerance for pirates that affect normal maritime trade.
Once a pirate is caught, he is immediately hanged for public display.
The relationship between the Axe and the Pirates is not unique in the Cape District, but everyone tacitly hides it under the table.
Now the new detective of the secret intelligence bureau is coldly saying that the Axe Party is colluding with pirates at this time, so that the leaders of the Axe Party cannot figure out what the new inspector thinks.
After some deep thought, Lambert replied very carefully: "Detective, it is our friends in the open sea who have come to support, and they have nothing to do with pirates. ”
Luke smiled and said, "It's okay if it has a relationship." Please let me know when your friends will come to Haijiao District. I'll arrange for everyone to meet and drink tea together and discuss how to make money together. ”
Lambert couldn't figure out the Detective's intentions even more.
Is this a thing to say on such an occasion?
Are you the Empire's secret agent? Or a gang boss?
"Detective, this is not appropriate."
"How is it not suitable? When I say fit, it's suitable. I've heard of the name of Lady Tasia on Fishbone Island, and if she comes, I'll be sure to meet her in person. ”
Lambert didn't expect the new Inspector to be able to name Lady Tasia of Fishbone Island as soon as he arrived in Cape District, and knew that the Crazy Axe Party had a deep cooperation with Fishbone Island.
The Axe seemed to have no secrets in front of him.
What else does he know?
Lambert thinks of a recent theft organized by the Axe Gang to steal the "Heart of the Red Dragon Nil Collon" from the Alchemy Society of Angry Waves for Lady Tasia.
If this matter is exposed, the secret intelligence bureau will not be able to protect the Crazy Axe.
How do you answer that?
"Detective, if I meet Mrs. Tasia, I will certainly convey your kindness and invitation to her.
But we don't have a deep relationship with Fishbone Island, and the matter of drinking tea with you still needs to be decided by Mrs. Tasia. ”
Lambert replied in a veilless manner, refusing to admit the relationship between the Axe and the pirates, and expressing his willingness to pull the strings in the process.
Luke wanted to see Lady Tasia because he wanted to prepare a way back for himself.
A clever person has more than one plan.
If you can't stay in the Cape area, the fastest way to get out of danger is to go to other countries by sea.
Lady Tasia of Fishbone Island belongs to the Codex faction in the pirate circle, that is, she obeys the ancient "Pirate Code" and "asks for money and not life".
Having a good relationship with this kind of pirate belongs to many friends and many paths.
"I have entrusted the matter of my meeting with Lady Tasia to you. Provided, of course, that you survive until your support arrives, and there are plenty of wolves waiting outside to eat meat.
Today is my first day in office at the Haijiao District Secret Intelligence Bureau, and I have not let them give up their prestige. During the day, with us helping you stay outside, they don't dare to do anything excessive.
But at night, I am afraid that the safety of my people will not be guaranteed.
Do you have a way to protect yourself at night? ”
Luke's questioning caused the room to fall silent for a long time.
During the day, the Sheriff's Department and the Secret Intelligence Bureau can still suppress the scene, but at night...... Especially tonight after the news of the Axe's weakness was confirmed.
I'm afraid the secret intelligence bureau can't suppress the "evil wolves" surrounding outside.
The secret intelligence bureau in Haijiao District is not as strong as the secret intelligence bureau in other urban areas.
After a while, Lambert said, "Inspector, if someone attacks us at night, we can only rely on this castle to defend.
But if you don't have support, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on. ”
Shelley said to Luke at this time: "Sixty percent of the docks in Cape Harbor are controlled by the people on the Sheriff's side, and the rest is in the hands of the people on our side, and half of them are managed by the Axe Party.
The Sheriff's Department will never miss this good opportunity to eradicate the Axe Party. Without the Axe, the entire Cape Harbor docks would fall under their control.
I'm afraid our people will run to the sheriff's office. ”
Luke said: "It seems that we are going to treat this matter with the same attitude as we treat war? ”
Lambert immediately said, "This is war, Inspector. We hope that you will come forward to organize a mercenary for us.
The Axe are willing to pay for everything. ”
