Chapter Forty-Eight: The Captured Assassin
That afternoon, Joyce was invited to the Baiam police station
In addition to him and the maid lady, not only was the "provocateur" Hunter accompanied by him, but he was also accompanied by three well-trained guards.
The chubby police chief led some of the officers in the police station to greet him at the door.
Joyce stepped forward, shook his hand, and said with a smile:
"Mr. Director, your efficiency in solving the case is very fast, you only complained in the morning, and the suspect was caught in the afternoon!"
The fat director was quite flattered, and hurriedly complimented: "Baron Best, you are really like a god!" ”
"However, this case is not my credit, it is completely up to Dean to solve the case......" The director turned his head to look at the young man beside him: "Dean, don't come back yet, describe the process of solving the case to Mr. Baron." ”
"That's also Mr. Director's leadership, I won't forget your credit."
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Baron."
Subsequently, led by Dean, Joyce and the others went to the cell where the suspect was held.
Halfway through, Joyce suddenly asked:
"How did you catch the Assassin?"
Dean keenly noticed that Joyce was talking about "assassins" and not "suspects", and the stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground, and said seriously: "It's a coincidence." ”
"When an ordinary police officer was on patrol, he noticed that a tall man was suspicious, and he was cautious and of his own quality, and he immediately reported it."
"After consulting with the Director-General, I immediately led someone to arrest him...... The Assassin was so strong that we wounded several of our brothers before we were able to subdue him by shooting. ”
"Luckily, we caught the live mouth, this assassin is not much different from what you described, his stature, characteristics, and fighting level are all quite compatible, but there is one problem......"
"What a problem, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Joyce said cooperatively.
Dean leaned a little closer and whispered, "The assassin he caught is a mute who can't speak...... You didn't hear the Assassin on the night of your assassination......"
Joyce was stunned when he heard this, and he took a deep look at the dark-skinned police officer next to him...... Now sheriff, muttered:
"I didn't hear the voice, but the assassin couldn't speak, so wouldn't there be no way to find the person behind him?"
Dean hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "This is our negligence, but we will do our best to get to the bottom of it, and, as far as I can tell, the mastermind behind it chose to hire this assassin in order to hide himself." ”
"That makes sense." Joyce was silent for a moment: "You've done a good job. ”
As he spoke, he patted Dean on the shoulder: "It's just that this tracking work can't be slackened." ”
"Understood, understood." Dean seemed to be greatly encouraged and said:
"Mr. Baron, please, that assassin is in a solitary cell with us."
Joyce covered her nose and saw a man with short black hair, a fleshy face, and fierce eyes being tied to the bed, with a circle of bandages wrapped around his chest and abdomen, and a faint trace of blood oozing out.
From the point of view of the "Assassin", he had more than one life in his hands...... Joyce scrutinized it for two minutes and gave her final confirmation:
"That's right, it's these eyes, I remember them very well."
As soon as the words landed, there was a sound of relief behind him, which came from the superintendents and inspectors from the chief down......
Dean added, "We tried to interrogate the Assassin, but he was illiterate, so I decided to investigate the circumstances of the assassination, starting with the channel where he was tasked with the mission. ”
"Well, the idea is good, but be careful not to startle the snake." Joyce said half commanding, half exhorting.
"Understood, Mr. Baron."
The matter was resolved to a happy conclusion, and Joyce refused the warm and earnest invitation of the chief and led the man out of the police station.
It can be clearly felt that whether it is Kumar the coachman, or the maid lady, and even the unsmiling guards, they all show different degrees of joy.
On the way back, Joyce asked with a smile on his face, "Mr. Hunter, if the assassin is caught, the danger outside is not so great." ”
"Provocateur" Hunter subconsciously nodded in agreement, and then added:
"The assassin is caught, and the enemy in the shadows will probably be restrained for a while, young master, your safety can be guaranteed for the time being, but you still can't take it lightly."
"Of course, I don't want to die young yet." Joyce readily agreed, as long as you don't follow me anytime and anywhere!
Back at 14 Ston Street, Harry handed in an invitation.
Joyce took the invitation and put it on the table, and said to him:
"Maybe you've heard about it, but it's better for me to tell you personally, the assassin has been caught, this matter is over, and you don't have to blame yourself anymore."
"I see, Mr. Baron." Harry bowed his head in response, turning to leave the living room.
When I opened the invitation, it turned out that I had been sent by Ianna, inviting herself to attend her ball this Saturday night, which was exactly Ianna's residence.
You're really going to invite me...... Diego died in vain? Or did Anna not know about it...... How could it not be known?
Maybe they want to reconcile with themselves...... Maybe it's a, Hongmen Feast?
Go, gotta go......
If you don't go, how do you know what they're thinking!
If you don't go, how can you knock on the mountain and shake the tiger!
If you don't go, your own operation will be in vain!

Wednesday, June 6th.
Joyce was about to go out, but Hunter didn't stop him, but arranged for two guards to accompany him.
The new driver, Kumar, was equally skilled, and the carriage made its way to its destination, the Oak Bar in the Josem neighborhood.
The party went on as scheduled, and there were no twists and turns due to Diego's death, but there were three or five fewer members than before, and because there were not many people in normal times, it seemed to be a lot sparser.
"Scales", as always, dressed in layers of camouflage, walked to the place belonging to the organizer and sat down, and did not immediately announce the start of the party, but issued a task:
"Keep an eye out for these three people in the photo, provide a valid clue for 30 pounds, and identify the location for 100 pounds."
"Intelligence shows that the three of them will basically act together, so a clue is likely to earn three bounties, which is rare."
Waiters handed out portraits to the participants, and Joyce was no exception.
One woman, two men.
The portrait is a sketch, vivid, revealing the beauty of the woman...... That's right, it's handsome...... The eyebrows and eyes are as sharp as knives, the bridge of the nose is high, the cheeks are thin, and the red pupils are particularly evil.
This can't be a vampire!
Then, he looked at the other two sketches, both of which were fierce and vicious, and their eyes revealed irrepressible madness and bloodlust......
"How dangerous is it?" One of the members, visibly impressed, asked.
"Balance" replied calmly: "Very high, if you happen to meet, turning around and running away is the only option." ”
Good guy, who dares to take the initiative to take this task...... Joyce speculated that these three people should be members of the "Rose School", with the female being the pharmacist path and the male being the heterogeneous pathway, at least in the middle order...... Can't be provoked, can't be provoked!
Wild, extraordinary people who can survive for a period of time are rarely foolish, and most of them will avoid danger, so the scene unconsciously quieted down.
"Balance" continued: "This quest has been valid for the near future, and if anyone gets a clue, they can give it to 'Balance', the owner of the Oak Bar. ”
"Let's get started."
