As soon as Tang Jiumin finished speaking, he saw Pierce lowering his head in deep thought, his fingers constantly rubbing the ring, with a hesitant look on his face.
Seeing this scene, he knew that the other party was tempted, but he was still weighing the pros and cons.
With a confident smile on his lips, Tang Jiumin decided to add more fire, and continued to take out a piece of gold from his arms.
"Mr. Pierce, our boss is a very generous person, and he is also a very generous person. Regardless of whether the deal can be completed in the end, he is willing to make you a friend."
"This and the ring just now are both gifts for you."
Pierce was surprised, and then his eyes lit up. He quickly took the gold, and his eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Tang Jiumin.
Just like Tang Jiumin said, this is indeed an overly generous boss.
A nugget of gold and an extravagant ring as a down payment? I even gave a deposit before finalizing it!
Pierce got the gold, held it in his hand and rubbed it, thinking about it repeatedly. After a while, he gritted his teeth, as if he had made a decision.
"Okay, after I do this, we will leave the wilderness with you."
Just do it, Pierce asked again:
"When do we trade?"
"We need to prepare the first batch of goods first. Our people will be waiting for you on the east side outside the town in seven days. We will trade there then. Remember, it must be at night. We don't want to have too much trouble."
Seeing that the other party was so smart, Tang Jiumin simply played out the trick to the end.
"No problem, this matter has been settled. How should I contact you in the future?"
Tang Jiumin sneered in his heart, but his face became more serious:
"You don't need to contact me. Just go to the designated place at the agreed time and bring the ring. This is a token of the transaction between you and us. Please keep it properly and don't lose it."
"Are you afraid that we will lie to you? Who would give you such a generous thing before the deal is completed? We are not fools."
Upon hearing this, Pierce nodded hurriedly and secretly cursed himself for being suspicious.
He really couldn't find any reason to doubt the other party.
"Okay, I'm going back to prepare in advance and leave first."
"etc."
Tang Jiumin suddenly stopped Pierce and started talking about business:
"Now that I've finished talking about official matters, I still have some personal matters that I would like to ask Mr. Pierce for help."
"Is there anything else?" Pierce, who was just about to leave, stood still and was a little confused about what the so-called private matter was.
However, he had just reached a deal with the boss behind this man, and when the other party asked him for help, he had to listen no matter what.
"Ah, well..."
Tang Jiumin touched his nose and looked a little sinister.
"I have offended some people in the town in the past two days. If you ask around in this town, you should be able to learn that on the first day, my pockets were cut off and the money was taken away."
"I am a very vindictive person. I have found out who that person is in the past few days, but some people say that he is dead. I want to confirm it and take a look at the town's death file, but I heard that this thing is in the Sheriff's Department .”
Hearing Tang Jiumin's request, Pierce frowned subconsciously and opened his mouth to answer.
"Indeed, it is at the Sheriff's Department. The mayor asked us to take care of this thing. No one else can read it except us, the Sheriff."
"The mayor even requested that if it is not necessary, it is best not to touch this thing, so we, the sheriffs, usually do not read it casually. After all, the information inside cannot be leaked. Do you want to confirm it?"
Faced with Pierce's suspicious eyes, Tang Jiumin smiled and nodded: "Your mayor has kept this thing tightly guarded. Naturally, there are some people in your town who shouldn't be there. He wanted to protect them, so he did it so covertly. .”
"Do you dare to say that the residents of your town are all good people? There are not some notorious robbers and criminals outside? I must be some dirty rats inside, otherwise they would not be able to steal my money easily. This is not ordinary people It can be done.”
"For this favor, I would like to ask Mr. Pierce to think of a solution. I will thank you personally."
Tang Jiumin's favor seemed a bit troublesome to Pierce. Normally, he would not agree easily.
But I have already received so much money from the person in front of me, and I am already a member of the same boat, so why not help him and make a good sale?
Just looking at the files, it seems that no one usually pays attention to that stuff, and it's not particularly important.
So Pierce nodded, unexpectedly polite.
"No problem, I don't need to charge you anything. Since we cooperate, I will definitely help you with this small favor."
"That's it. I'll take you to the Sheriff's Department."
"However, after all, I am not the only one at the Sheriff's Department, so we can't be too high-profile. I can take you in through the side door, but you have to cooperate with me and pretend to be the perpetrator I caught."
"Don't worry, it's no problem." After the two agreed, Tang Jiumin wanted Pierce to lead the way, but at this time, the other party looked away.
Um?
Tang Jiumin followed the other person's gaze and found that the prostitute did not go back to the basement, but squatted behind a crack in the door to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Seeing this scene, Tang Jiumin frowned and was in a bad mood.
The prostitute knew that she had been discovered and hurriedly hid in the basement.
"This damn bitch is a problem. She has heard our conversation."
"You can get information about me from her, so can others. What we do is very secret. You and the boss behind you should not make such low-level mistakes, right?"
Pierce turned sideways to make way for Tang Jiumin, his attitude was obvious.
"Indeed, she is so disobedient." After hearing the other party's suggestion, Tang Jiumin showed no anger on his face and instead responded with a smile.
After that, Tang Jiumin walked into the room and all the way to the basement.
Aisa obviously also heard Tang Jiumin's last answer. Seeing Tang Jiumin walk in, she knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Please, I was wrong. Please let me go. I have done what you asked before. You said you would not kill me. Please..." Aisa cried with tears streaming down her face, terrified. People huddled tightly beside the bed.
"Did you know?" Tang Jiumin let out a long sigh and said in a very gentle tone: "Actually, you will be free soon. I gave you a chance, but you don't seem to believe me."
"I'm sorry, I can't let you ruin my plan. I'm sorry that I didn't keep my promise at the beginning, but you also didn't keep my request."
"My plan is very important. Negative factors like yours must be dealt with. I hope you will understand."
Aisa watched in horror as the man got closer and closer.
During the whole process, she heard the other party talking to her in the gentlest tone, as if they were discussing with her, but the content of the words made her hair stand on end.
"No, no, please..."
Tang Jiumin walked up to the woman and lifted her up.
"Your name is Isa, right."
"I'm sorry to end your life like this. My name is Tang Jiumin. Maybe you are not used to the pronunciation, but it is said that if you remember the name of your enemy when you die, it will be easier to claim your life after death."
There is a natural gap between men and women. No matter how hard Aisa struggled, Tang Jiumin finally covered him with a quilt and pushed him to the wall. He raised the gun and pulled the trigger without any hesitation.
The gunfire rang out and Aisa's body softened.
Tang Jiu Min's right hand that was under the quilt was stained with blood. He looked at the woman he had killed with regret, and finally put her back on the bed next to her and covered her with the quilt.
This woman had helped him a lot and needed to be allowed to die with dignity.
Pierce waited outside for a while, and just as he was about to go in and take a look, he suddenly heard a dull gunshot.
He raised his head and saw Tang Jiumin coming out with a lot of blood on the front half of his right arm.
I thought the other party was going to say a few words to that bitch, but he didn't know he would kill him so quickly.
"You can go."
Tang Jiumin still had a smile on his face, as if he had just taken something.
Looking at the smile that had not changed since entering the house, Pierce took a breath and nodded vigorously.
Originally, he had some concerns before dealing with the prostitute. After all, a person who was reluctant to kill a prostitute made him doubt the confidentiality of the other party.
However, by this time, his last doubts had disappeared.
This man is not only quick to strike, but also has no emotional fluctuations. He is a ruthless character.
So, Pierce took Tang Jiumin to the Public Security Bureau in the center of the town and entered through the side door.
After coming in, Tang Jiumin learned that almost all the files of deceased persons had been kept in a cellar of the Public Security Department at the request of the mayor, and few people read them.
It's obviously not an important thing, but it is relatively tightly protected in this small town.
Sure enough there is a problem.
In the Sheriff's Department, Tang Jiumin followed Pierce and met several other sheriffs.
"Hey, Pierce, why did you bring someone in here?"
"Don't mention it, this guy committed a crime, and it's related to my friend. I want to take him back to my room for questioning!"
Several other people originally came over to see Tang Jiumin, who had his head lowered, but upon hearing this, they quickly dispersed.
The Sheriff is also a human being and cannot always be busy trying to maintain order. When they heard what Pierce said, they all thought that the other party was interrogating privately and did not want to meddle in other people's business.
"Ahem, then we have more important things to do, so we'll leave first."
"Okay, you go first."
None of it aroused any suspicion.
Tang Jiumin was indeed arranged to meet in Pierce's room.
Pierce did not go back on his promise. In the face of huge interests, Pierce was very cooperative and soon brought the death files that Tang Jiumin needed.
Several thick documents.
"This is the list of people who have died in our town in the past ten years. I hope you can find out the enemy you hid his identity from." Pierce placed a stack of documents in front of Tang Jiumin and said.
A stack of documents, not too much, not too little.
"The permanent population of our town is either large or small, so there are nearly a thousand files of deceased persons."
"Now the blood moon night is still not over. Tonight is the last day. I have to return to a safe place, so we can only leave before six o'clock, which is less than four hours."
"Can you read through so many documents?"
"That's enough. Just give me two hours for these things." Faced with Pierce's question, Tang Jiumin shrugged, opened the latest book, and started reading.
The first thing he wanted to find were the townspeople who died without complete bodies and no body parts were handed over to their families for burial.
These were the latest additions to the death list, and on this blood moon night, the number of such townspeople had grown to nine.
The death list contained a relatively detailed file of each deceased town citizen, and Tang Jiumin soon discovered the clues.
These dead people without bodies all have one thing in common: they were all born on the night of the blood moon.
Tang Jiumin continued to look through the lists of dead people from older times, and he found that there were also two people who died without intact bodies on the previous two blood moon nights.
What a coincidence, or in other words, a missing person's death.
Likewise, they are also people born on the night of the blood moon.
It seems that the reason why the townspeople turned into werewolves has been found. They were born on the night of the blood moon. This is the source of their mutation.
After confirming that people born on a blood moon night would mutate into werewolves, Tang Jiumin also began to investigate in reverse, and soon discovered a new clue, that is, after every blood moon night, there were actually people born on the blood moon night. People died suddenly, only one at a time, and the time of death was the morning after the night of the blood moon.
Tang Jiumin's eyes fell on the paper, but he looked thoughtful.
By now, he felt that it was very clear that the mayor of Moon Howling Town was actually the kind of special being that the werewolf hunter had mentioned, and he needed to drink werewolf blood to extend his lifespan.
What restrictions should the mayor have? He can only drink werewolf blood after the blood moon night.
People in the town say that the mayor is not in the town every blood moon night. He will suddenly return to the town only after the blood moon night passes.
No one saw the mayor leaving Moon Howling Town, but many people saw the mayor entering Moon Howling Town.
It seems that it is not the so-called return to the town at all, but that he will withdraw from the werewolf form and return to the human form only when the blood moon night is over.
Only then can the so-called mayor drink the blood of the werewolf. In this way, things become simple. As long as you find out who else was born on the night of the blood moon in the entire town, you can directly target these werewolves.
Thinking of this, Tang Jiumin raised his head and asked Pierce: "Do you have a complete file on the town's personnel?"
"ah?"
When Pierce heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then showed a very embarrassed look.
"Things like the list of the dead in a small town are kept in the Sheriff's Department because they sometimes need to be released to the public."
"However, all the personnel files of all the townspeople in the entire town are kept in the mayor's residence. Only our director, Elder Milton, can go in and read them."
Hearing Pierce's answer, Tang Jiumin couldn't help but frown, feeling a little embarrassed.
You are absolutely not allowed to go to the mayor's residence, and with a little thought, you know that old Mitton has a close relationship with the mayor and may be a lackey. What should you do?
Suddenly, Tang Jiumin thought of a key point: "There are usually births in your town. Who are the people who deliver the babies? Can you tell me specifically?"
"Huh? What on earth are you going to do?"
Pierce was confused, but he answered anyway.
"There is only one woman. You also know that our town is not big after all. There are newborns in the town, and she delivers them all. Why, do any of you need to deliver babies? Do you need her help?"
"I need to ask this person some questions. Can you tell me detailed information about this person?" Tang Jiumin shook his head and continued to ask.
"You're talking about the woman who delivered babies? You don't need to bother to check. She is a very famous person in our town. If you just ask around, you will know that she has been doing this for more than 20 years."
Cecil Dahl, this is the name of the midwife, works at the rescue station. She is now the only midwife in the entire town.
The previous midwife was her senior who also worked at the rescue station. Whenever a midwife got older, they would designate the next person.
Cécile was already in his fifties, and was about to reach that age.
After learning everything he wanted to know, Tang Jiumin quickly left the Sheriff's Department under Pierce's arrangement. He did not waste time and rushed directly to the rescue station in the center of the town.
The last night was coming soon. Although nine werewolves died, the gunmen did not know the true number of werewolves. Facing the group of werewolves, they did not dare to act rashly. Instead, they planned their own patrol routes.
Before six o'clock, Tang Jiumin finally returned to the tent where Liu Ziyun and others were.
