Chapter 14 The secrets of people are not connected
Charlie is a natural optimist, and under his leadership, the tension is swept away, and Thomas, who has fallen into self-doubt, takes a sip of wine and continues to share the latest news.
"Major General Gordon is currently at home, and the military claims that he is on leave, but in fact he is dismissed."
No wonder he had time for a banquet...... Joyce complained in his heart, and at the same time keenly linked William's sacrifice to Gordon's dismissal, which, based on his experience of reading history in his previous life, was probably the result of the defeat in the struggle between the military factions.
So, he asked directly:
"Why?"
"I don't know." Thomas shook his head and said in a fluctuating tone:
"There are rumors that it may be related to the recent resurgence of human disappearances."
"Hey!" Charlie scoffed: "When did human trafficking ever disappear?" ”
Thomas did not refute this, but added:
"The scale of this discovery is very staggering, and the report shows that all the inhabitants of the nameless island in the waters near Rorsted, including several small tribes in the southern continent, have disappeared mysteriously, and no clues have been left."
"According to you, it doesn't seem like something that ordinary people can do, at least General Gordon can't do it, right?"
Charlie's father was a major general before he retired, so he knew very well the power and power of the major general, and it was impossible for him to hide such a big thing from MI9.
That's because there is a high-level force to cover it, and our King Majesty should have discovered the mausoleum of the "Black Emperor" and started to abduct and sell people to build a cemetery...... Joyce immediately thought of the last layer, and he raised his voice a little and said:
"With General Gordon's character, he would never be involved in such a thing."
Thomas looked at him deeply, then explained:
"So it's just speculation, and there may be another reason for Major General Gordon's dismissal."
"Well, let's talk about some interesting ......"
Then, Thomas didn't reveal any more valuable news, and the conversation between them slowly drifted away from gossip and women.
…………
Chat with good friends and fart, and time will pass quickly.
After the three of them said goodbye, Thomas did not go directly back to his residence, but ordered the driver to change direction and go to his usual place of work.
Showing his credentials to the heavily armed guards, he walked into the heavily guarded building, which was the headquarters of MI9 in the Rorsted Islands.
Because it was a weekend, there were not many staff members, and only the strength to maintain basic operations was retained on the surface, so Thomas said hello to his familiar colleagues, walked around the building, and walked to the door of his immediate boss with ease.
He took a deep breath and raised his hand to knock on the door.
"Come in."
"Sir, I'm back." Thomas slammed the door shut and said.
The "chief" who was writing at his desk was a man in his thirties, who raised his head to reveal a weather-beaten face, a hideous scar near his left eye, and a deep and powerful voice:
"I've met Joyce Best."
"Yes, sir." Thomas directly reported: "I used the dismissal of Major General Gordon to lead the disappearance case, and his behavior was unusual, and he should have been ignorant of the matter." ”
"Don't rush to conclusions just yet, what if he's pretending?" Chief Scarface sat straight in his chair and said slowly.
Thomas tried to argue that he knew Joyce well, and that it was difficult for him to fool himself, but he didn't say it, just remained silent.
"I remember when Joyce asked you how to get extraordinary powers, is there such a thing?"
"Yes, sir, as instructed by you, I will give him the contact information of a military informant."
"Did he become extraordinary?"
Thinking of the shock Joyce had brought to him this morning, Thomas thought for a moment and then replied:
"Judging from the information sent back by the informant, he is still just an ordinary person."
"How can a man who began chasing extraordinary powers after his father's death have no reason?"
"Help Joyce become extraordinary first, and I'm sure he'll lead us to the truth."
The scarface officer pulled out an ugly smile:
"By the time this mission is completed, you'll have almost saved up enough to make you the 'Inquisitor' of Sequence Seven."
"Go ahead, don't let me down."
"Yes, sir." Thomas stood up and saluted.
…………
Joyce didn't know what was going on, he just made the same choice as Thomas, and instead of going home, he drove to the Oak Bar.
Unlike the last time he came, he asked for a cup of Vados that tasted good, and knocked on the door of chess and cards.
Sure enough, the "balances" were playing, but the opponents were a different batch.
Is this squeezing all the money out of those guys last time? Joyce raised his glass and gestured, and "Scales" smiled at him, handed the cards in his hand to his men, and walked to the room where the two had talked about commissions before saying a word.
"Have I got a result of my order?"
Joyce asked, putting his glass down and looking at the confident "scales".
"Tianping" took out a stack of papers from the cabinet behind him and put them on the table, crossed Erlang's legs and said:
"This guy is quite cautious, and he has strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities, and it took a lot of twists and turns for my people to get these materials."
I won't add money anyway...... Joyce was in her heart, and flipped through the information and began to look at it quickly.
It turned out that "Locke" was just a pseudonym, and "Chloe" was the real name he used in his pirate career.
As a pirate, Chloe's bounty is only 1,200 pounds, which is the favorite type of adventurer and navy, and the strength is not very strong, and the bounty is considerable.
Unlike pirates of his calibre, who either join a large pirate group or are turned into bounties, Chloe is always able to avoid danger and find merchant ships that are not strong in defense and have a lot of profits, and he has never encountered a major crisis in the past ten years.
That's why he got a nickname called "Lucky Chloe", but according to people familiar with the matter, Chloe himself prefers to be called "Wise Trick" by others.
"Clever Crowe".
After the story of "Lucky Chloe" spread, more and more people hunted him down as a treasure, but Chloe retired directly and disappeared without a trace, and there was no news of his crew.
But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and Russell the Great said: Whoever walks through will leave traces.
Chloe has a deadly quirk and he loves teenage girls and ...... The young man has reached the point of pathology, which allows him to successfully expose his whereabouts.
Finally, the document states Chloe's current address: 52 Pritz Street.
The survey report ...... It was too detailed, as if someone was pressing Chloe's head and forcing him to write it down...... Joyce looked up at the confident "scales" and thought to himself: he couldn't have taken the information from the Navy.
"Good, I'm satisfied."
Joyce pulled out eighty pounds of cash and pushed it to "Scales", picked up the investigation report and was about to get up and leave, but the latter stopped him.
"Mr. 'Baron', wait."
"Anything else?"
"Balance" slowly picked up the gold list that exuded an attractive smell and reminded:
"That Chloe's bounty hasn't been revoked yet, if you need to collect the bounty on your behalf, you can discount it with your relationship."
How did he know I was going to kill Chloe? No, it should be said that no one would spend so much money investigating a same-sex ...... if it weren't for the hostile relationship In addition, the "balance" is an informant of the military, and may not abide by the rules of the industry to keep secrets for the client...... Joyce suddenly woke up, and after a brain teaser, said:
"I'm also entrusted by others, and if there is a need, I will come to you."
"Waiting for you."
"Scales" didn't stop again this time, but squinted as Joyce left.
…………
As for Charlie, the "pharmacist" among the three brothers, he went home and slept well.
