Chapter 039: A Mysterious Letter
The next morning, Don woke up to the sound of knives, forks, pots and pans. Strictly speaking, the noise wasn't loud, but it was enough to wake him up.
Tang En was immediately stunned, how could this voice be from his own house, but in an instant he thought that he was not the only one living in this house.
Don stretched and was about to get out of bed. Hmm?nose twitched, and suddenly a tempting aroma of fried eggs came. He swallowed involuntarily. Then there was a stunned ......
In this world, as long as Don is at home, his mother will fry two eggs for him every morning, saying that it is to supplement nutrition. And Don was still lying in bed at that time...... This kind of smell of fried eggs when he gets up is really a long time for him.
In a moment, Don shook his head, got dressed, and descended the stairs.
On one side of the hall is the kitchen, and I saw Lena wearing a white apron skillfully putting fried haode eggs on a plate. Then he took out the white loaf from the closet with light steps and carefully slipped it. Zuihou is to put two slices of already grilled haode meat on top......
In a few moments, a standard Western-style breakfast is complete. It all seemed so well organized.
Don was stunned at this time, his cooking skills needless to say, according to the old butler, adding a few more ingredients would be as powerful as a laxative...... And Lena has lived independently since she was a child, and she has long been able to cook food with practice, and it is modest to say that she is a few streets away from Donn.
"Hey, you're up. Lina, who was busy, saw Don En standing by the corridor in a daze, and said, "I've made breakfast, do you want to try it?"
"Uh, haode. β
............
After enjoying this delicious breakfast, Don immediately relinquished the power of the kitchen completely. Oh my gosh, what did I eat before...... It's for people!
"So, I'm going to be here for a month, am I?" said Lina, bringing a cup of after-dinner tea to Donn.
"Uh, yes. Don't worry about putting someone under house arrest for a month for no reason, Don En was very embarrassed, and immediately said: "But you don't have to worry, you will tell me the name of the treatment hall later, and I will explain that I will hire you to do a one-month care for me." β
"Oh, so what am I going to do this month?" Lena didn't seem to care.
"Hmm...... What do you most want to do?"
"I want to see people. β
β...... Change one. Don touched his nose, isn't that a curse on me......
Looking at Lena's thinking hard, Don En said in his heart: "Otherwise, I'll buy some medical books, how about you take a look?"
"Well, that's fine. β
Don let out a long sigh of relief.
"By the way, I don't know your name yet......" Lena said with a wink.
β......β
Knock, knock, knock! Before Don could reply, there was a knock on the door.
"Mr. Arthur, I'm Alan, and I've got a newspaper for you. β
...... Don didn't need to answer now. Lena also obediently returned to her room at this time.
Don opened the door, and saw Alan standing in front of it with a large stack of newspapers in his hand.
"Well, Mr. Arthur. That's all the newspapers about Ghost Face in recent years. β
"Oh, too much for you, Alan. Don took the newspapers happily, he was now worried about how to start the task of finding the ghost face.
"Nothing, easy to do. Okay, then I'll go first. β
"Wait......" Don quickly stopped Allen, who was about to leave.
Alan was surprised, "Mr. Arthur, is there anything else?"
"Well, Alan. I've been busy with chores lately, so I wanted to hire you to do something. β
"Hire?uh...... What's the matter?"...,
Tang En took out 1 gold coin and 5 silver coins and said, "You use this 1 gold coin to help me buy some medical books, well, buy a few more potted plants." The other 5 silver coins are your reward for doing this. β
The purchasing power of 1 gold coin in another world is amazing, and of course, this is limited to ordinary things.
Alan looked at the coins and said hesitantly, "Mr. Arthur, you believe me so much, aren't you afraid that I will run away with these coins?"
"Well, of course, we're friends. Don said briskly. If after such a long period of observation, I can't determine your character, then wouldn't my killer be a failure......
Of course, Alan didn't know what Don was thinking, so he seemed very excited at this time: "Mr. Arthur, since we are friends. Then I don't want these 5 silver coins. β
Allen's reaction was unexpected by Donn, who knew that Alan was not wealthy, as evidenced by the washed and faded clothes he was wearing. However, such a poor young man, because of his friend, refused a full five silver coins, which undoubtedly made Don appreciate it even more.
"Hehe, Alan. Your dream is to be a big businessman. Since you are a businessman, you are in business. You help me do things, and it is natural to collect money. Well, or are you not willing to help me?"
"Of course not!" Alan snapped.
"Then take it!" said Don categorically.
Alan spread his hands and said, "Okay then." Don't worry, Mr. Arthur, I'll get it done as soon as possible. β
"Good. β
Sending Alan away, Don carried the newspapers and placed them on the table.
Naturally, the whereabouts of Ghost Face are not so easy to find, and Tang En is only in the data collection stage now.
However, he has an advantage that ordinary people cannot imagine, and that is the system. The sound of flipping newspapers, but in a few minutes, all the newspapers were entered into the system.
Then Tang En entered the space directly, and he didn't need to greet the old butler, and directly called up the information.
The time, frequency, and target of each Ghost Face's crime...... One by one, it is displayed in a list.
After browsing up and down, Don En sighed again and again. This companion is worthy of the title of the number one assassin in Lay Rock City, and among the dozens of targets he has targeted, there are nobles, samurai, gang leaders, and even a magician.
The most sensational assassination of Ghost Face was the assassination of the former city lord of Laiyan City six years ago. That battle brought him into everyone's sight, and he was recognized as the number one assassin in Lai Rock City.
It is a miracle that such a famous assassin has not been caught.
Intuitive data, it is undoubtedly easier to see the problem. Tang En then saw that Ghost Face's recent assassination was very abnormal.
First of all, the identity of the object, the object of the previous ghost face was not a big gang leader, or a magician or something, not to mention a city lord. It can be said that the ghost face is a big deal.
But the targets of his last few attacks are the leaders of some middle-level gangs, and they are quite hungry.
The other is the number of shots. The number of shots made by Ghost Face before was very small, usually only once in a few months, and when the frequency was the highest, it was only two shots in two months in a row.
But in less than two weeks, he has already made four shots, except for Vincent.
This makes one wonder if there is something wrong with this.
However, the current information is still too scarce, and Don is unable to find any common ground in these subjects.
"Looks like I'm going to have to go to the security department. Don muttered to himself.
If there is any place in Laiyan City that has the most comprehensive understanding of gangs, it is undoubtedly the Security Department. If there is anyone in Lai Rock City who knows the most about the ghost face, it is undoubtedly Boris. So the Garrison is a must-visit place for Donn. ...,
However, before Don could figure out a way to infiltrate the security department. A sudden incident completely disrupted his original deployment.
At noon, just as Lena was preparing to make lunch. There was another knock on the door of the room.
When Don went out, he saw Alan commanding a few wives and parked a flatbed truck full of books and potted plants in front of the door.
Allen's efficiency is undoubtedly amazing, but in half a day, he can transport things. And this amount is so much, it really scared Tang En.
"Mr. Arthur, the books in the bookstore are too expensive to buy. I know a friend who prints books, so I took the initiative to buy his inventory, and these books are no different from the new books on the market. And please don't be surprised. β
"Uh...... Alan, I'm now sure that you're going to be a successful businessman. Naturally, Don wouldn't blame Allen for his assertiveness, and if he was allowed to buy it, the number of books would be far less than half of what he had in front of him.
"Haha, xiexie you, Mr. Arthur. Alan said happily, "Then will we move it in now?"
"Well, push the car to the back, I'll open the backyard door and push it in. β
βhaodeοΌβ
After a while, stacks of books, and a dozen or so potted plants filled Donn's small backyard.
"All right, Mr. Arthur, then I'll take my leave...... Oh, by the way, someone asked me to deliver a letter to you on the street corner. β
"Letter to me?", Donn was taken aback. His circle of contacts was very narrow, and people he knew by the face of Donn could be counted on one hand. The familiar ones are Allen, Lena, and Josia, and Josia doesn't know the address.
"Well, he said it was your friend. No, that's the ......," Alan handed over a crisp white envelope.
Don looked at the envelope and took it, "What kind of person do you remember?"
Alan frowned and thought for a moment, "It's a ...... Well, very ordinary middle-aged people. What, what's wrong?"
Tang En played with the envelope, scratched his nails, carefully pulled out a blank piece of paper and looked at it, his pupils suddenly contracted sharply, and his hand shook.
"Oh, it's fine. It's a friend I haven't been in touch with for a long time......"
