Chapter 209: Bert Attacked by the "Werewolf".
Immediately afterwards, I saw Vic's blue eyes flickering with golden light, and muttered:
"I'm really looking forward to meeting tomorrow, I don't know what will happen, I have a hunch that something very interesting will happen next. Since becoming the 'prophet' of Sequence 6, it's been a long time since I've been in the mood to look forward to it. ”
On the morning of the next Friday, after Chris and the others had breakfast, they began to go their separate ways.
Wayne, Paul, and Chris ride a horse-drawn carriage to the Sikaka Hotel in the South End.
As he walked up to Room 312 on the third floor, Wayne reached out and knocked on the door three times.
Knock knock!
A minute later, Vic, who had already groomed and dressed, opened the door, and smiled, as if he had known that they would come at this time:
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, are we going to leave now?"
"Absolutely, if you're ready, Mr. Ramirez. Wayne said with a sincere expression, "Let me officially introduce the two people next to me, Paul and Chris, don't look at their age, but the detective's various business abilities are very good." ”
Wayne's words were a bit like a princess selling melons, and then Paul and Chris smiled and shook hands with their employer, Vic.
In the face of this big financier, Wayne is extremely serious and hardworking, and today she specially changed into an off-white waist-cinching dress under the guidance of Bonnie to make up for the lack of skin color. The eyebrows are much softer, the face is more liquid foundation and blush, and there is a white flower gauze hat on the head.
When he came out of his bedroom this morning, Elton's eyes were about to fall out in fright.
I have to say that under the fashion guidance of Bonnie, Wayne did add a little bit of a different feminine taste on the basis of neutral style.
Vic took a silk top hat and a black cane from the door, closed the door, and the gentleman asked Wayne to go first, and everyone walked down the stairs and out of the inn.
"Where do we start with this?" asked Vic as he looked at the three of Vayne, but what they didn't know was that his vision had been watching Chris beside Vayne from the beginning.
Well, it seems that when Wayne spoke, he was silent, and it seemed that he was a discerning person who would not steal the limelight from the principal. Vic thought to himself.
Wayne looked at the growing number of pedestrians around him and spoke:
"Let's start with this street, all the way to the west, if there is no clue in the west side, go to the east side, as for the north side, the person you are looking for should not be able to appear there, unless he is a valet or something. ”
Vic nodded in agreement, and then the four of them inquired all the way if there were any male orphans around the age of twelve, who had some mental problems since childhood. Of course, the definition of the latter is not very easy to say, and it can only be filtered from the previous condition one by one.
Of course, Wayne also wanted to hire some homeless people, giving a deposit of half a penny first, and if he found one that met the criteria, he would give a hired fee of 3 pence. In the past, Wayne often looked for people like this, but considering that there was no one in the "Black Cat Office" now, and they were constantly changing their positions, this method had to be stopped.
At noon, Wayne wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, the efficiency of finding people in this way was too slow, considering that he might have to arrest the criminals with James and the others tomorrow, Wayne suggested:
"Instead, we'll split up into two groups, which might speed up efficiency. ”
The corners of Vic's mouth rose slightly, and then he looked at Chris and smiled:
"I agree, why don't I just be in a group with this Chris kid. ”
Wayne hesitated for a moment, originally she planned to be in a group with Vic, Chris and Paul by herself, but since the gold lord said so, she could only nod and say:
"Alright then, you will go in the direction of the West End, Paul and I will go in the direction of the East End, and finally we will meet at the door of the 'Sika Inn' at eight o'clock in the evening to exchange information we have received. ”
Chris and Paul looked at each other and said they had no objections.
With that, Wayne and the others turned and walked in the direction of the east, while Vic and Chris walked together in the direction of the West End.
Walking down the gray-black street, Vic looked at Chris's rather immature face, and casually asked, as if out of boredom:
"Your name is Chris, right, how old are you this year, why did you give up your studies so early to become a detective?"
Looking at the gentleman beside him, Chris said in his heart, if you know that I am exactly 12 years old this year, not only an orphan without a father or mother, but also able to see things that others can't see and hear voices that others can't hear, I don't know what you think?
However, Chris still showed a mouthful of white teeth on his face, and replied:
"Sir, I will be 13 years old in a month, and because my father died early, I had to come out early to work to support myself. ”
"Oh, and are there anyone else in your family?" asked Vic continued.
Did he notice something? Or was he just curious just because I was the same age as the person he was looking for??
For this middle-aged nobleman who is likely to be a "gambler", Chris has always been on guard, so he replied half-truthfully:
"My mother died of illness not long after I was born, and I have an eldest brother who used to work in the City Lord's Mansion, but also died in the line of duty more than ten years ago. As he spoke, Chris grimaced.
"What a poor little friend. Vic patted Chris on the shoulder, a natural gesture because of his height.
In this way, the two asked the residents all the way for news and walked all the way to the western district. Because most of the boys they were looking for were homeless people and workers, they had to go to the trouble of looking for them in nearby factories.
In one afternoon, Chris and Chris managed to find five 12-year-old male orphans, but they naturally couldn't have the same anomaly as Chris when he was a child. And Vic, after seeing them, also shook his head in denial.
Chris was curious about what the aristocratic gentleman had set for him, but seeing that Vic didn't mean what he wanted to say, he had no choice but to ask. However, I am guessing in my heart whether it is because of the same "gambler" that I can feel it, and it seems that I have to ask that guy tonight.
At six o'clock in the evening, Vic takes Chris into the most expensive restaurant in the neighborhood and enjoys a hearty dinner. Of course, Wayne and Paul were not treated so well, and just ate dinner at a roadside stall at random.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the four of them met in front of the "Sika Ka Hotel", where Wayne also found six twelve-year-old male orphans, although there was no mental abnormality, but they were recorded one by one for the sake of insurance, and they waited for time to take Vic to confirm.
By the time Wayne, Paul and Chris returned to 41 Pruka Street, it was nearly 9 o'clock.
However, after entering the door, Chris found that the other members of the extraordinary team were sitting on the sofa in the living room, and the atmosphere of the scene seemed to be a little depressing.
"What's going on?" Vayne asked first, and then, as if seeing something, suddenly walked up to Bert and said loudly, "What's wrong with your arm?
Chris then noticed that Bert's arm was wrapped in a white bandage several times, and red liquid was still oozing from it.
So Chris hurriedly ran to Bert's side and asked with a worried face:
"Didn't you investigate that suspect today? Why was he injured? Did you start a fight with him?"
Bert's somewhat pale lips forced a smile, patted Chris's hand and said:
"I'm fine, it's just a little bit broken, you don't have to worry. ”
At this time, Bonnie's whimpering voice sounded, and the little girl said with tears in her eyes:
"You still said it's okay, if Jeffrey hadn't thrown out the charm in time, I'm afraid your entire arm would have been bitten off. ”
Chris's heart sank, and James's heavy voice rang out:
"It's my fault in this matter, so I should go to the church to find out the origin and related information of those hairs first, and then act together. ”
Chris's eyes were slightly red, and he suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at James and asked:
"What the hell is the other side, how can it hurt people right under the noses of our two Sequence 8 Extraordinaires?"
Elton, who felt "named", also looked at Chris with some shame and replied:
"Before you returned, the Boss brought the news of the church's identification, and the other party should be the sequence 8 'werewolf' of the xenopathic pathway 'cold-blooded'. As for whether it is a human transformation extraordinary or a natural xenogene, we are not sure at this time. ”
"Yes, the combat ability of the xenomorph path is stronger than that of the extraordinary person of the same level, and the other party is very cunning, it should be known that Bert is the weakest of the three of them, so Bert will be the first to be attacked by the other party. James added.
When Elton saw the captain's maintenance of himself, he immediately cast a grateful look.
At that time, the sneak attack of the "werewolf" was really fast, and they had just found each other's traces around the abandoned factory, and then Bert was attacked by the other party. Seeing the other party's snow-white sharp teeth biting Bert's arm, Elton was actually shocked by the other party's bloody aura for a second.
Fortunately, Jeffrey threw out a "light charm" that had been pinched in the palm of his hand in time, and in the huge light, the dark creature "Werewolf" couldn't stand closing his eyes, which saved Bert from his mouth. Otherwise, as Bonnie said, Bert's right arm would probably be scrapped.
Immediately afterwards they gave up their attack on the "werewolves" and hurried Bert to the church hospital, where the "master surgeon" Dean Dalton George himself performed the suturing operation and did not return together until 8 o'clock in the evening.
