Chapter 148: A New Identity (Subscription Requested!! )
Three days later, a nondescript grocery store opened in the middle of Kerr Street.
Without any publicity, without any promotional activities, it opened so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard.
The store manager is a middle-aged man who is always smiling, with a round belly like a watermelon, but despite this, he still tries his best to dress himself up like a gentleman, with a top hat, a cane, a pocket watch...
He has a lot of things that a gentleman should have.
"He calls himself Lando Ingres, and he's from the royal capital of the East Island, and people say that his accent does sound fluent and authentic London."
On the roof of the church, Xiao Hei is reporting to Fat Orange the information collected by the cat: "He has a wife, who lives with him on the second floor of the grocery store, and it is said that he directly ordered an empty house, and it was opened for business with simple decoration. ”
Fat Orange looked at the grocery store in the distance, which attracted many residents to the door, the cold wind blew the hair on its body, and said in a calm tone: "There is nothing wrong with the grocery store itself, I have been to see it, the things in the shop are very new, it is indeed purchased on the spot in the last few days, the problem is Lando Ingres." ”
Xiao Hei blinked: "Big brother, I think he is quite normal, no different from other businessmen." ”
"At this juncture, we must pay attention to any wind and grass." Fat Orange shook his head: "We can't let our guard down because the other party seems normal, we must look for flaws from the perspective of the other party's problems, so that we can find many weirdness... New Ross City is a remote area, and the merchants of the royal capital came here to open a grocery store? ”
"Of course it's making money!" Xiao Hei said without thinking: "Although New Ross City is remote, didn't the owner say that its transportation advantages are obvious?" ”
"That's the problem." "The merchant opened his shop to make money, and judging from the interior of the shop, this Lando Ingres is very wealthy, so why didn't he open his shop on the more prosperous and wealthy Ross Avenue, but instead came to the residential area of Kerr Street?" ”
"Meow... Big brother, do you think there is a problem with Lando Angel? ”
"Eight or nine are not far from ten... Pai Cat stares at him, including his wife, and I want to know everything they say! ”
"Understood!"
..................................
In the church below, Mavi was talking to a believer holding a Yorkshire teacup dog.
"Mr. Jacob, how have you been?"
"Good, good..."
Jacob Valentine had a big smile on his face, his body was obviously much stronger than the previous days, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was radiant, and he even had his hair done.
"Now I'm getting closer to Miss Maggie." He kissed Pippi, "As for Sissi, not only did I let her come to the church to study, but I also hired a tutor for her, who was responsible for teaching her the craft of survival, she was a good child and very sensible. ”
From Jacob's clear eyes, Mavi could see that he was no longer dependent on alcohol, which was good news, and he fulfilled the vow he had made in front of the idol.
But...
"Mr. Jacob, you are a winemaker, and your salary is only 17 shillings a week, but not only do you employ a live-in maid, but you also have a governess for Sissi, and your daily expenses, you must be living a very tight life." Mavi asked.
Jacob scratched his head and said smugly, "It's a bit of a struggle, but I'm planning to get another night job, and no matter how difficult it is, I won't let down Miss Maggie and Sissi for trusting me." ”
After Maggie Chrissy died, all of her property belonged to Sissi, and Jacob Valentin, who adopted Sissi, was eligible to use the inheritance, but he did not do so, and kept it all intact for Sissi to use in the future.
Mavi didn't want to break their life if he could, but he had no choice.
"Mr. Jacob, you... Would you like to be a missionary to the Church of the Truth? ”
"Missionary?"
Jacob Valentine was slightly stunned: "Priest, you're not kidding, can you really give me such an important position?" ”
"You're going to do it with your heart, and that's enough." "But the mission site is not New Ross City," Marvey said. ”
The palm of Pipsqueak's hand paused abruptly, and Jacob Valentine turned his head to look at the man beside him, as if he understood something.
"Father, do you want me to go on a mission to another city?"
"Specifically, what you need to do is not to proselytize, but to live in other cities and put down roots and secretly assist the church."
"Secretly assisting the Church?"
"That's right, the Kingdom of Windsor has enacted the New Religion Law, which requires all churches to submit lists of believers, intending to attack small churches, and I have to do this to protect you." Ma Wei sighed, straightened his back, and said: "Jacob Valentine, I formally invite you to become a member of the church, take up the position of missionary, go to other cities to settle down, the salary is 1 gold pound and 10 shillings per week, and the cost of the work is all covered by the church, you... Willing to accept it? ”
"I accept."
Although Jacob Valentine did not know the conspiracy behind the New Religious Law, he read a lot from Mavi's solemn expression, and he believed that Mavi would not have been in a hurry to find him if it were not for the urgency of the situation.
"Which city am I going to?"
"Dunmore City, Waterfordshire." Mavi asked the source to bring a map, pointed to the seaside city of Dunmore, just south of New Ross, and said: "Someone will set out with you to go to this city, and when you get there, you rent an apartment as a place to stay, and then go to the docks to find a man named Blaze Carr." ”
As he spoke, Ma Wei shoved a document into his hand, "The previous name can't be used anymore, this is your new identity information." ”
Jacob immediately opened it and read softly: "Steven Thomas, male, 35 years old, was born in Waterfordshire, his wife Jennifer Montes died of illness last year, and has a daughter, the father is..."
Ma Wei's identity information for him ranged from peeing and mud peeing in his childhood to watching the widow next door take a bath, to his family situation, the number of medical visits, and his illness history.
Even the name of the widow next door was written.
Reading this document is equivalent to reading the life experience of the protagonist Steven Thomas, a living person, and only real people who have existed can have such a rich and detailed background.
"Be sure to memorize it all."
Ma Wei said solemnly: "I have asked someone to take care of everything, from today onwards, you are no longer Jacob Valentine, but Steven Thomas, you have to replace him and live in Dunmore City until... We're back. ”
