He opened his eyes suddenly and looked at the familiar British retro decoration in front of him, as well as the gorgeous chandelier. The skeleton cane was leaning quietly next to the sofa. In his ears, he could hear the bustling noise of people coming and going on the street, and the breeze was blowing. A beam of sunlight passed through the gap in the curtains and sprinkled on the wooden floor.
In a daze, he seemed to be back to where he started.
He struggled to get up from the sofa, tearing his abdominal muscles, and a burst of pain almost made him lie back down again. All these feelings were so real.
"You're awake!"
Yulia came over with a hot lunch and placed it on the dining table nearby.
"Mr. Ewell, you have slept for a long time, it's time to get up and have lunch."
"good."
Jiang Chenchuan responded in a low voice.
It turned out that those bloody scenes were really his dreams, but...
why?
Why do you feel like you are being peered into?
I had a meal at Yulia's house, said hello to her, and left.
I wanted to go to the Cathedral of the Dawn again to see if there would be any clues left at the scene, but that area had been blocked by the Knights of the Dawn and entry was prohibited. I could only take a look from a distance on the tram, which was burned to the ground. black wreckage.
I finally returned to Bullard Street. The sun was just right today, and there were more people on the street. It was still lively. I wanted to go home and sort out my thoughts, whether it was the incident at Dawn Church or the eyes hidden in the dark.
All have an evil aura.
You know, the scariest thing is not that you have enemies, but that the enemies are hiding in the dark and you don’t know anything about them.
However, no matter how good the plan is, reality will always hit you in an unexpected place. There is already a client in Heihe Detective Agency who has been waiting for him all night.
"Evel!"
As soon as Jiang Chenchuan entered the door, he heard a familiar call from the living room, the sound of running, and Reina poked her head out from the railing on the second floor stairs.
Jiang Chenchuan raised his forehead and almost forgot that he had accepted the commission from this young lady before.
"You are finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Reina is still so lively and smart. Apart from being a little naive, she can almost be regarded as the best client Jiang Chenchuan has ever encountered, and the payment is also very generous.
"What's up?"
Jiang Chenchuan took off his windbreaker and hung it on the hanger. The gentle breeze shook off the inconspicuous black ashes on the floor. He leaned the skull cane against the desk, opened the drawer at hand, and took out the notebook for recording.
"I have a piece of information in my hand that needs to be acted upon immediately, and the operation needs helpers. I can't think of anyone else. Ivel, I'll pay a high price to entrust you to help me."
Reina took out a piece of yellowed paper from her windbreaker pocket and gently placed it in front of Jiang Chenchuan.
There is a black pattern that looks like a witch's hat printed on the paper. Below the pattern is an extremely complex symbol. Jiang Chenchuan knows that these symbols are specially used to write encrypted text. In specific arrangements and combinations, they represent different the meaning of.
"Evel, have you ever heard of Goat Town?"
Lena suddenly spoke.
"What?"
Jiang Chenchuan shook his head in confusion.
He opened Reina's information, which recorded information about a kind of "black goat horn", which is a special rare material that can be mixed with other materials to make certain alchemical potions with special energy.
Goat Town is the birthplace of "Black Goat Horns".
"If I don't explain it clearly to you, I'm afraid you won't accept this commission. Then I'll tell you directly. Because the intelligence industry in Polnia is almost monopolized by the Gray Gloves and the Crow Guild, I joined another Civilian associations are used to obtain information and trade.”
Reina reached out and tapped on the paper pattern.
"The Black Hat Hotel, the operator of the underground black market, believes in absolute profits. Museum information that cannot be traded in the Gray Gloves and the Crow Guild can be bought and sold on the black market. Last time, I also wanted to bring out the information and sell it to they."
"So, this time?"
Jiang Chenchuan leaned back, raised his head and asked.
"Intelligence, priceless information. Of course, I am not the only one who knows this. They will definitely organize their own team. As for how many people are interested in Goat Town, it is unknown."
Rena's emerald eyes gleamed with excitement, and she seemed to be able to maintain her interest and enthusiasm for her career forever.
"Originally, Goat Town has been secretly providing the alchemy raw materials of 'black goat horns' to the alchemists in Bornia. However, some time ago, almost overnight, the merchants who supplied them collectively ran out of stock, and they lost contact with Goat Town. , the person who went to inquire about the information did not come back, and seemed to have disappeared."
Reina explained to Jiang Chenchuan, you know, people who do research are crazy. Because of the lack of raw materials, prices in the underground trading market of Polnia are in chaos.
Therefore, if someone can bring back information from Goat Town and get the "Black Goat Horns", he will definitely make a lot of money.
Information about the Polnia Museum cannot be sold. Reina felt something from the conversation between her father and Chris, so she did not intend to continue exploring the secrets of the museum.
Some secrets are best kept hidden.
As for why you are so keen on the intelligence industry?
Reina suddenly remembered those hard-core bedtime stories that her mother told her when she was still alive, about the inspirational and successful life of building her own career under chaotic security, or the intuition mixed in the complicated information. Judgment, let yourself get status and money different from others.
perhaps……
Neither.
The main reason is that my mother is one of the founders of the Black Hat Hotel, and it is also the only folk association in Polnia that only has female members.
Later, as a noble, she married her father, who was also a noble.
Obviously my father admires my mother very much.
But……
Why kill the mother's career ambitions? As a result, the mother was depressed all day long. In the end, a beautiful flower gradually withered and withered in the gorgeous prison.
Reina has always felt that she was not born a noble lady and could not learn inexplicable hobbies like flower arranging, wine tasting, and oil painting. She wanted to become a different person, someone different from her mother, like in the bedtime story. Like those protagonists, they stand at the top and break out of their own world.
A small flame burned in the swan-like neck.
"Are you leaving? Evel, the challenge has begun."
"Can I say no?"
Jiang Chenchuan responded helplessly.
"Of course not."
"But I don't have enough vacation time from work..."
"Add money!"
"make a deal."
This guy always has a reason he can't refuse.
The eldest lady who achieved her goal left happily. After she left, Jiang Chenchuan took a comfortable hot bath, lazily curled up in the bed, doing nothing, thinking about nothing, and closed his eyes. A day passed as soon as I opened my eyes, and I didn't even have a dream.
