Chapter 66 Killing people and killing mouths, shrimp and pig hearts
"Where's Kurala?"
When Ember walked through the door into the living room, he saw only the decadent Foirth lying on his side on the couch and asked.
"Hugh took it."
Firth stretched lazily and muttered, "But she should be back soon, anyway, you two go out before dawn every day, and you won't come back until dark." ”
Ember didn't doubt him.
After waiting for a short time, the sound of unlocking came from the entrance.
In the dim light, the small lady pushed open the door and walked in.
At the same time, a small jellyfish emerged out of nowhere, and floated into Folth's arms, allowing her to cling to her soft body and rubbing her face against her.
Hugh couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw this, but when he caught a glimpse of the embers on the side, he took the initiative to speak, "The Hawkins Gang in the East Side is Kapin's thugs, and they have been secretly helping him in human trafficking, and most of the girls who disappeared in the East Side are their handiwork. ”
At the same time, every other week, a fleet of merchant ships from the Sunia Sea docks at the docks. The Bell Chamber of Commerce was responsible for handing over the merchant ships, but since they never unloaded their cargo in the docks, no one knew what was in the hold of the merchant ships. ”
"Still,"
Hugh paused, then continued, "Someone has secretly climbed aboard those merchant ships without being discovered, and according to him, the fully loaded cabins are full of slaves from the Southern Continent!" ”
"What about people?"
Ember pondered for two seconds and asked.
"Dead."
Hugh's face became a little solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Everyone died because of an 'accident'. Whether it's the man who claims to have secretly climbed aboard a merchant ship, or the head of the Bell Chamber of Commerce, or the upper echelons of the Hawkins Gang, everyone died, just last night! There are those who drank and fell into the river and drowned, and there are those who fell from the upper floors due to accidents...... There are suicides and accidental deaths, but none of them are 'homicide'! ”
"If it weren't for knowing in advance that they were all related to Kapin, I'm afraid I would have thought they really died in an accident."
"And how are you? No one found out, right? ”
Folsi, who was still lying on the sofa, suddenly got up and asked worriedly.
"I didn't dare to dig too deep, and since I've been doing similar things in the East End, I shouldn't have been noticed. Moreover, those who have been in contact with me have also been dealt with by the Kurala women. ”
Hugh shook his head, motioning for Firth not to worry.
She also took the Kurala sisters with her when she went to investigate this time, on the one hand, to enrich her combat power.
On the other hand, it is also an opportunity for them to play.
As the most chaotic, disorderly, and dark place in the whole of Beckland, the East End has outlaws who let them kill.
"It's faster than I expected."
Ember heard the information Hugh brought, and although he had expected it, he still felt a little emotional.
Since the royal family can arrange guards around Kapin, there must be extraordinary people from the royal family around other relevant people involved.
In normal times, these extraordinary beings will naturally keep them safe.
But as soon as the matter shows signs of failure, they will turn around and kill people.
This is a perfectly normal thing.
"Ash."
Hugh took a deep breath, turned his gaze to Ember, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is behind Kapin?" ”
Ember left abruptly last night, and when he returned, he asked Hugh to help him investigate clues about Kapin's forces.
As a result, the next day, the newspaper published a murder at the Caping Villa.
These two things combined, Hugh could guess that Ember was responsible for the murder of the Caping Villa, as long as his brain was fine.
In addition, Hugh himself is a person with a strong sense of justice, and he hates scumbags like Capping, so naturally he will not refuse to help Ember investigate because he committed a murder.
And because Hugh has always relied on his reputation as an 'arbiter', he has a good reputation and connections in the Eastern District.
With the help of connections in the East End, she easily found out that the Hawkins Gang and the Bell Chamber of Commerce were also involved in the slave trade.
But when she just wanted to continue her in-depth investigation, she found that these 'big shots' who were originally treated like bosses died overnight!
There is no doubt that when Hugh learned of this news, it undoubtedly made her feel cold.
Obviously.
Behind Kapin there is another force that can be called a behemoth, and the other party chooses to kill people because of Kapin's death.
All those involved with Kapin are their targets for purging!
And this also means that if Hugh continues to investigate, he will undoubtedly be noticed by the forces behind Kapin.
When the time comes, they will all be in danger.
In that case, then she must at least know who the enemy she is facing, right?
“……”
Ember looked at the girl's determined gaze, and after a two-second silence, he slowly spoke, "I can only tell you that this force is the most powerful group of people in the entire Rune Kingdom. ”
After a pause, Ember added, "Except for the three major churches. ”
Hugh froze for a moment and couldn't speak, and Furth's eyes widened suddenly.
Although Ember did not name him, it is no different from reporting an ID card!
In addition to the three major churches in the whole kingdom of Rune, the most powerful is undoubtedly the royal family.
It doesn't matter what the House of Lords or the House of Commons, you have to stand on the side when you encounter the royal family!
But that's royalty!
Since they were already the most powerful people in the Kingdom of Rune, why did they have anything to do with the slave trade?
Does the royal family lack that money?
"Why don't you wait for me to leave!"
Firth wanted to cry without tears, why did she hear this!
You investigate and investigate, why do you have to exchange information in front of her?
What does this have to do with her being an ordinary writer!
Ember glanced at her, choosing to ignore it.
"The royal family?"
Hugh bowed his head deeply, the shadow of which passed over her cheeks, making her expression unrecognizable.
She should have guessed it a long time ago.
It's not difficult to kill a few gang leaders and heads of chambers of commerce,
But it can make them die quietly and die by accident without arousing the suspicion of others.
There are very few forces that can do this.
And those who dare to do these things under the nose of the official are probably the only ones themselves.
"You can decline the investigation."
Seeing Hugh's appearance, Ember said slowly, "This is indeed beyond your capabilities. ”
"No!"
Hugh clenched his fists, raised his head and looked at Ember firmly, and said, "I have a hunch that this incident may have something to do with my father's death!" Even without your commission, I'm going to continue investigating! ”
She never believed that her father died because of the rebellion.
And now that she has seized the black material of the royal family, it proves that her father is indeed very likely to be wronged.
Since this is the case, she is bound to investigate to the end and return her father's innocence!
"Okay."
Ember looked at the girl's determined appearance, and did not refuse, but said slowly, "But before that, you have to help me find out another thing." Hurricane Lieutenant General Zillingers has infiltrated Beckland, and I need you to track him down. ”
