Chapter Twenty-Eight: Playing Cards, It's Normal to Have Some Movements
Beckland Detective Agency.
The moment Ember walked through the door of the detective agency.
Lotta, who had been gathered at the table in the hall to play cards, suddenly showed a ghostly expression.
This surprised Al Hassan, who had his back to the embers, and when he looked back at the embers, his expression was even more exaggerated than that of Lorota.
"Praise be to the Goddess!"
Al stood up, drew a crimson moon on his chest, and said with great emotion, "I'm unexpectedly lucky enough to see you come to work one day." ”
"I've been busy."
Ember was a little speechless, and didn't know what to say, so he had to explain two sentences.
"I understand, I understand."
Al's expression became a little distorted, and his tone was also sour, "Busy attending the nobles' dinner and flirting with the costumed noble ladies, right?" I understand, after all, it's an aristocrat. ”
The more Al spoke, the more sour it became, and if it weren't for the public, he would have cried.
If he had the chance, he would also like to fall in love with the noble ladies!
Meanwhile, Borgia and Lorota are poking their heads out to peek at Al's cards.
Lorota winked at Ember and made a silent gesture.
"I'm here to report on something."
Ember looked away, not wanting El to continue to be sour, and said directly, "What if we find a wild extraordinary person in the middle of our mission?" ”
"Wild Extraordinary?"
Al Leng paused for a moment, and said with a strange expression, "You met?" ”
"In principle,"
Lorota rubbed her temples and said a little lazily, "Once we meet a wild extraordinary, we have to control it to a certain extent. However, in actual implementation, it can be improvised, and the law enforcement methods can also be more flexible. ”
"As long as these wild extraordinaries don't show any obvious threat, they can't be arrested rashly, even if they are left alone. Because you don't know who is behind these wild extraordinary. ”
"You're an extraordinary person in the high value sequence?"
Ember asked with a frown.
"Nope."
"I'm referring to the big nobles in the royal capital, most of them privately hire some wild extraordinaires. If these people are caught, it will be very troublesome for us. ”
"Of course, if you really meet wild extraordinaires, even if you don't catch them and do some registration, it is still necessary."
"It's better to develop it into our informant."
After Lorota finished, Borgia added, "This will help us detect potential dangers more quickly, after all, this wild extraordinaire does have an advantage over us in some ways." ”
"And there are usually gatherings of the Extraordinary among the Wild Extraordinary, you can try to let your developed informant take you in, but you don't have to rush to arrest people. These wild extraordinaries are very cunning, and even if they were prepared in advance, it would be difficult to catch them all. ”
"And as soon as one person runs away, these extraordinary people become more difficult to catch, or even hidden. In this way, when the time comes to actually take action, it will create a negative factor for our actions. ”
"So most of the time, we're mostly monitoring."
"Of course, if you run into extraordinary people who believe in evil gods at a party, then you have to take action."
"Even if you judge that you are not strong enough to arrest you, you must immediately call for support."
"Of course, you yourself can also take the opportunity to get something valuable at these extraordinary gatherings."
"More than that."
Lorota winked at Ember again, and said slyly, "If an informant provides valuable information, he can give the other party a certain amount of compensation. And your expenses on this information can be reimbursed. ”
"It's not just intelligence fees."
Borgia added, "If an informant is injured or suffered a loss in the process of gathering information on our behalf, these can also be reimbursed." Provided, of course, that your informant is already registered. Otherwise, although it is not impossible to reimburse, the procedures will be much more cumbersome. ”
"On the other hand, if your informant needs it, you can also buy potion recipes and extraordinary materials through our channels, which can be regarded as some small perks for them. As for the price, you get the idea. ”
"Yes."
Ember nodded tacitly, and everything was silent.
That is, let's say it costs 10 pounds to buy intelligence from an informant, he can apply for a reimbursement of 50 pounds.
And if an informant wants to buy an extraordinary ingredient or formula, they can make a profit from it.
As a veteran night watcher, the experience of wool picking is really rich!
"You ......"
The corners of Al's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything after all.
After all, that's what he did.
"I'll just ask."
Al Hasson suddenly turned his head to look at Ember, "This 'informant' you developed can't be a certain nobleman you met at the nobles' party, right?" ”
"It's not."
Ember shook his head and nodded, "But we did meet at a party." ”
"Sir or Madam?"
"It's a lady."
"How's it looking?"
Lorota was still yawning a little lazily, but when she heard this, she cheered up and asked curiously.
"Not bad."
Ember recalled it carefully, and replied earnestly, "By the standards of ordinary people, she should be a beauty, Lady Bilorotta...... Well, it should be said that there is no distinction between them, each with its own merits. ”
However, as soon as he said this, he immediately noticed that Al Hasson's expression became extremely complicated.
With an undisguised and naked hostility, as at first sight, it is as if looking at a class enemy.
But at the same time, the hostility is accompanied by some inexplicable envy and jealousy.
"Tsk."
Lorota also stared at Ember with some unpleasantness, did you kid just want to say that she is more beautiful than her?
"Let's go."
Al Hasson suddenly reached out and grabbed Ember's shoulder, and said with a little gritted teeth.
"Where are you going?"
Ember was slightly confused.
"Let's investigate!"
Al Hasson gritted his teeth and said, "Urgent mission, we are short of manpower now, you come with us!" ”
Could it be that this guy actually came to 'work', he absolutely couldn't let him leave so leisurely.
Ember looked suspicious.
When he came, you were still playing cards leisurely, and it didn't look like you had a case to investigate.
Why did he have a case to investigate as soon as he came?
"Borgia, Lorota! You're all in this together! ”
Al unceremoniously beckoned to the two behind him.
He goes to work, and you don't want to rest!
"Forehead ......"
Borgia paused for a moment and hesitated, "Why don't we finish this hand first?" ”
"What cards to play?"
Al's face turned black and there was a scolding of his head, "Have you forgotten who we are?" We are night watchmen! Do you understand what it means to live a human life? ”
"Okay."
Borgia sighed and put down his cards with regret.
Obviously, this one will win.
Investigating the case or something is clearly an excuse, and the captain did it on purpose because he was afraid of losing money, right?
"Ember."
Al looked at Ember and smiled, "You're going to go on a mission with us, right?" ”
"I'm not going."
Ember met El's slightly threatening gaze and said calmly, "I need to go to St. Samuel's Church later, the bishop has something to do with me." ”
Al opened his mouth, and stopped talking, stopping and talking.
The embers have moved the bishop out, what can he do?
"Then forget it."
Al sighed with some amusement.
"Shall we continue to play cards then?"
Borgia asked, touching his chin.
"No way!"
Al's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said without hesitation, "You can not take the embers, but you have to follow me on a mission!" ”
"Okay."
Borgia happily agreed, "Then wait until you finish this fight, and then go, it's not bad for two minutes." ”
Without waiting for Al to refuse, he added, "If you are in a hurry to do the task, you can also seal the plate first and continue when you come back." Or are you afraid of losing money, captain? ”
Al's expression immediately froze on his face.
"It's really ......"
Lorota rolled her eyes and couldn't help but yawn again.
She has been sleep deprived for the past few days, and her skin will deteriorate if she continues like this.
Luckily, it won't last long.
