Volume 2: The Storm Has Fallen 76 No Secrets
Now I have only one thought, one mood in my heart. That's worse than eating flies. I've wasted my time, I've wasted my chance, how could I have waited all afternoon here. I should have been frustrated and went back and cleaned up the guy as soon as possible. Now that he has run away, my situation is even more dangerous.
I don't think that guy will have any affection for me because I gave his wife a few silver coins, and even said that he doesn't necessarily know that it was me who gave his wife money.
Hurry back to the cheese shop, this matter is no longer negotiable, instead of waiting stupidly, it is better to break in without doing anything, clean and straightforward.
The door to the cheese shop had been tethered, and there was a light upstairs, and it seemed that they were all still there. The most primitive method of locking the door is often the best to use. I couldn't move the deadbolt and bar against the door, and the same was true for the back door, so I chose to go through the window.
Generally, people will lock the doors and windows on the first floor when they sleep at night, but the bedroom often leaves some gaps or is not locked. This is based on the reason why most thieves do not dare to go directly into the owner's bedroom.
After climbing up to the second floor, I looked through the window, and this was their bedroom, which seemed to be one person and one room.
You can't break in now, and you'll have to wait until they're asleep. This kind of waiting makes sense.
So they waited under the eaves of their house until the candle fire went out upstairs, and then a long time passed. My stomach was already rumbling with hunger, and I wanted to eat a good meal in it after I was done.
Thinking that it was time for them to fall asleep, I crept out of the second-floor window. When I gently pushed down the window, and when my hand touched the window and the power was gently transmitted from my fingertips to the window, the feedback to me was completed! Sure enough, the window was not closed!
A slight snoring from the bed told me that the man was asleep. Floating like a shadow to his bedside, he looked at the young man, who was estimated to be fifteen or sixteen years old, through the faint light. It's easy to knock him out in his sleep, and it doesn't make a lot of noise.
This child should not be the one who speaks very rough during the day, and a boy of this age will not change his voice so much, which means that there must be adults in the family.
After tying up the young man, I crept to the door of another room, and snoring could be heard in the room.
The adults in their family were in a lot of trouble, which reminded me of the old days of Godfrey, and that scene came back to my mind.
After tying him up, I made my way to the last room. The bed slept quietly the little girl of the day. I gently pressed my fingers against her mouth, and she woke up under my constant teasing.
The moment I opened my eyes, the expression in her eyes was exactly what I expected. I pinched her mouth.
"Don't struggle, those two men can't save you anymore." I said softly.
She looked at me in horror, and I pinched her with great strength, but the tears on her face should not be caused by pain.
"I have no intention of hurting you." I said. "But it's up to you to show you how you behave, if you do something too drastic...... Well? Do you understand? I whispered.
"I asked, you answered. You'll be fine after answering, and if you lie to me, I'll kill you, and of course the two next to you. With that, I put the dagger in my left hand to her throat.
"Is there a man who comes to buy cheese during the day?" I asked her.
She nodded slightly.
"Who is he looking for?" I asked.
Kevin ...... John Kevin. She said with a shudder.
"Who is John Kevin?"
"I don't know......" Two tears flowed from her eyes.
"I'll start by removing those two people's fingers, and so do you. Got it? Okay, answer again. ”
"I don't really know...... Someone named Kevin. ”
I just gagged her and tied her up. There's no need to wits and courage, all I've learned is to be direct, and the more direct the better.
She looked at me in horror, I glared at him, and walked out of the room. I walked to the boy's room, and he was awake. I kicked him straight and knocked him unconscious, then dragged him to the girl.
I ripped his clothes," replied one last time, who was John Kevin. ”
I pulled down the cloth that was gagging the girl's mouth.
"He's ...... He would sometimes come to the store to buy cheese. ”
"I know all of this, keep talking."
"I don't know what he does."
"Where is he?"
"He's ......" the girl looked at the boy on the ground, "he's ...... Forty-six Phillip Street. ”
"Should I trust you?" I crouched down in front of her, pinched her face, and stared into her eyes. "What's your name?"
"Emma, Emma Houston." She squeezed the name out of her mouth.
"Answer again!" I say.
"My name is really Emma."
"You have betrayed my trust in you, and you have lost my trust in you." I stared at her fiercely. As I spoke, I lifted the stool on the ground and smashed it down on the boy.
She kicked her legs in horror to escape, but I didn't stop at all, let alone relieve myself. After a dozen blows, I pulled the towel out of her mouth. "Can I trust you now?"
She had cried into tears.
"There's an old guy over there, and I don't mind beating him to death in front of you. Is he your father? "I put away all the gentle words at the moment." I guess he should be, what's your name? ”
"Elaine." The snot bubbles she was crying were coming out.
"Well, that's good. Elaine, now tell me where Kevin is? I said as I touched the blood-stained stool.
"He's at 45 Phillip Street." She cried.
"Why is there one missing?"
"The forty-sixth is, the forty-fifth is...... His other shop. ”
"Ahh That's right, right...... If you go to the forty-fifth and look for him, something wonderful will happen, right? I went on to ask, "What is his real name?" I asked her to look me in the eye. The look in her eyes at this point told me it worked.
"Shore." She told the truth.
"How many people are in his organization?"
"I don't know, I don't usually have access to them."
"What are you doing for them?"
"Send a message."
"You asked Raleigh to stalk someone, who is that guy stalking?"
"He's a northerner. He...... His name was Bill, the leader of the northern reinforcements. ”
"The leader of the northern reinforcements? What are you tracking him for? ”
"I don't know, I'm just in charge of passing on the command."
"What else do you know about this Bill?"
"I don't know anything else, that's all I can know."
glanced at her, pinched her mouth and gagged her again. Dragged the boy to his room. Passing by the man's room, he found that he had woken up.
Walking in front of this adult, his eyes were very calm, just looking at me coldly, he was not a simple guy who could have this kind of eyes, he should be a head.
I stood up to him and pulled the cloth out of his mouth. "Who do you work for?" I asked him.
He didn't speak, just looked at me coldly.
"Are you sure you won't say it?"
He rolled his eyelids, and I pulled out my dagger and reached him in the eye. "Again, who do you work for?"
"That person is you during the day, right?" I was taken aback by what he said.
"I'm looking for the guy you said came during the day." I'm wearing a face mask, and he shouldn't recognize me.
He stared at me, but I knew he was thinking.
"Tell me who you work for?"
"Don't you already know that?" He said.
"I want you to tell me personally."
"Who the hell are you?"
Don't you think it's stupid to ask such a question? I'm here to ask you questions, not to answer them. Are you asking me this question with a determination to die? I crouched down in front of him, "Those two young men outside are your children, aren't they?" ”
"They're just apprentices here."
"Ah, it's up to you to be able to think of such a lie. Is that girl 21 years old? "I stared into his eyes and watched his reaction.
"I don't know if you've protected her well, whether you've allowed her to find a boyfriend or allowed her to sleep with anyone's boy, but I feel like she's still a virgin now, and maybe she's never been in love. Being a spy is a burden and falling in love, am I right? ”
The man's eyes changed slightly.
"That Raleigh guy has told me a lot of things. Tell me what I asked, and I'll let you go, that young man is your only son, and you don't want your beautiful daughter to wither and wither early. "I stared at him fiercely." Do you agree? ”
He looked at me, and I looked at him lightly. "I work for Kevin." He finally spat out.
"Kevin is a fake name, I know another name for him."
"He's one of Stormwind's biggest gangs...... Chieftain. "I'm not going to pick it up, I'm just waiting for him to say." So I'd advise you to stop now. ”
"Thank you for the advice, who does Shore work for?"
"He's not for anyone, only for the gang."
"Whose gang is it for?"
"Pasonia Shore." He said.
"A woman? Who is she? ”
"Shore's grandmother."
"An old lady is the leader of Stormwind's biggest gang......" I frowned.
"Then he arranged for someone to follow that name...... That's what that northerner does? ”
"I don't know."
"You can be the one who arranges the task, and you tell me you don't know. Do you think I believe it or not? ”
"I really don't know. Shore only issued orders and tasks, and did not say anything else, he only told us to do our own thing, and did not allow his subordinates to intervene in the rest. ”
"I wanted to have a good talk to you, but you don't seem to be willing to cooperate." With that, I stood up and dragged Elaine over. Elaine may be an adult, but in this case she is like a lamb to the slaughter.
"Ask a question, I won't hurt her if you answer to my satisfaction, but if you answer me unsatisfactorily, she will not only lose her delicate face." As I spoke, I tore her clothes apart. Elaine writhed in shame, but after a kick to the stomach, she instantly fell silent and curled up on the ground.
"I gave you my promise, you told me what I wanted to know, and you would be safe. Believe it or not. Of course, I can't help it if you don't believe me. But I'm going to get what I want in the end. As I spoke, I lifted her head and put the dagger to the corner of her mouth. If I don't get what I want...... You'll see this knife stab her in the face. ”
"Okay, tell me who your leader is?" My tone told him that I was going to turn her into a ripper at any moment.
"Pasonia Shore." He said.
"Who is Madias Shore?"
"Her grandson."
"What does Shore do in the gang?"
"Spying on intelligence."
"What kind of information are you spying on?"
"Anything Shore needs."
"Any? And what about the king's decision-making? ”
He didn't squeak.
"Well, your organization is really not simple!" I lowered my voice. "Which nobles have you arranged for investigations?"
"No ......"
I stood up with my dagger.
"We've investigated almost all of the nobles!"
"All?" I frowned. "What about Duke Leskova?"
He looked at me and didn't squeak.
"Are you sure you won't answer?" I said it calmly.
"He didn't."
"You should say you investigated him too." I said jokingly. "Why hasn't he been investigated?" I asked solemnly.
"I was not notified to investigate him."
I pulled the cloth out of the girl's mouth and pinched his mouth, I wanted to shove the dagger into her mouth.
"Wait." The man was in a hurry.
The girl didn't dare to shout. But he squeezed a frightened cry out of his throat.
"He's ...... Patron of the gang. ”
"That makes sense." I didn't pull out the dagger. "That means you were assigned by him to investigate the northerner, right?"
He nodded.
"And what are you investigating that northerner for?"
"He's a little too active in the city."
"Who has he been in contact with lately?" I asked.
"Lothar ......"
"This guy is back, Lothar hasn't been in the city these days, you liar!"
"He's been told to be treated specially! He...... I used to be a little close to Lothar. ”
"That's it?"
"I don't know, that's what I've heard."
"What kind of special law is that?"
"He's going to be monitored from all sides."
"What do you mean by omnidirectional surveillance?"
"He'll always have someone around him."
"What about in the barracks?"
He gave me a meaningful look and nodded.
