Abel, who was sitting behind his desk, unknowingly breathed a little faster and said in a deep voice: "What did you just say?"
The woman named Veronica opened her red lips and repeated in a standard Victorian accent: "Your Excellency, Brigadier General."
Abel wanted to become a brigadier general, but this was a secret that no one else knew. He never said it. Why did the woman in front of him know?
Abel shook his head slowly: "I can't see your sincerity in cooperating. You have been using words to induce me. If you want to get Adela Dawson, you will get it, but if you want more, you must show sincerity." .”
"Isn't the Brigadier enough?"
Veronica chuckled and said calmly: "If you can really catch Adela Dawson, Brigadier General, then you will see my sincerity."
She disappeared into the shadows, as if she had never appeared. Abel quickly stood up and walked out of the office, asking the guard at the door if he had seen a woman in a red coat go out from here. Got the answer in the negative.
"Veronica, Veronica."
Abel silently chanted this name, which seemed to have some kind of magic power, making him involuntarily believe it and be willing to capture the target she wanted.
…
…
"A woman in a red coat?"
Adela, who was huddled in the hay, slowly shook her head. She had never heard of such a person.
Zhou Jinru just had the attitude of giving it a try and had no intention of actually finding out the truth. He only saw the adult version of Ifrit on the night he met him. Later, he could no longer find any trace of Ifrit, so he had to leave it at that. .
"I always feel like I've seen it somewhere."
Jiaweier rubbed his forehead and gave Zhou Jinru a little hope. Maybe the chief had some clues.
After a while, they were still hiding here. Several patrols passed by, but fortunately they didn't look too much into the haystacks on the roadside.
"You may not believe it, but if I put a pitchfork in the haystack, I would definitely solve a lot of trouble."
“Pitchforks in the haystack?”
Adela didn't understand what Zhou Jinru wanted to express. After thinking about it carefully, she hesitated and said, "Is it because the pitchfork is a long-handled weapon?"
Gavel stared: "What are you two doing here?"
Zhou Jinru had no choice but to shut up and wait patiently for the chief to recall. Even Adela did not dare to say another word.
"Ah, I remembered. When I passed by the Red Stage a week ago, I saw a woman in a red coat. She had a pale complexion, just like those nobles. I don't know the rest."
Zhou Jinru immediately grasped the key point: "What are you doing on the red stage?"
It wasn't a serious place.
"Passing by! Passing by! I mean passing by!"
Jiaweier clenched his fists and said, "If you say another word, I'll treat you to my fists."
Zhou Jinru chose to ignore this problem. He had no choice but to bow his head under the roof.
"Haven't you been to the Red Stage too?"
The person who said this was Adela. Zhou Jinru was a little surprised. Only a few people knew his whereabouts. Why did the heroine know so much about him?
"I did go, with a Crown agent, and that's where my girlfriend was sacked."
Speaking of royal agents, Zhou Jinru hadn't seen the rather slutty Liang Chao for a while. It seemed like Superintendent Longmen was having a really good time in Victoria.
Adela glanced at Zhou Jinru and hummed: "You went with the royal agent named Liang Chao, right? That person is a double agent. As a royal agent, he provides clues to the royal family and the factions. , he is a very playful person and has a lot of fun, and he hangs out with at least two women every time."
The heroine's eyes clearly said that you are not a good person either. Zhou Jinru felt aggrieved. He was a serious person. He never went to those places with feasting and entertainment. Even if he did, it was a work-related action. How could he be like Liang Chao? Are the color embryos confused with each other?
"Stop talking, someone is coming."
As night falls, the weak light from the street lamps can only illuminate a range of two or three meters. Although electricity is already available in this era, energy technology is still in a very primitive stage, and the infrastructure is only there, not yet. The point of perfection.
It was foggy at night, and these street lamps were no different from decorations. It was the darkness that enveloped the earth that gave Zhou Jinru and his party the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
"Follow up."
Adela let out a soft cry, turned over and got out of the haystack, leaning against the wall and running forward. She got information that many faction members were imprisoned in the police station in this area.
The security system of the Eastern Region has always been weak. When there are huge differences between the royal family and factions that require the use of force, these security officers choose to retreat and do not take the initiative to cause trouble for either party or solve the problems they have encountered so far. It was not until recently that the royal troops crossed the Sega River and gradually took control of the Eastern Region, and they did not stand up again to enforce the law.
"It sounds crazy that three of us attacked a police station."
Zhou Jinru looked at the identity card. His character changed from a mist hunter to a crazy mist hunter. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. No matter how he looked at it, the dynamically changing identity card always surprised him.
Adela walked in front and whispered: "Why not? The police department is full of softies. They usually bully civilians, but when they face nobles, they become loyal public servants. You just need to dodge With the steel knife in their hands, the police station will surrender immediately. The police officers stand in a row and raise their hands. There was once a joke that no one can attack the police station head-on because they will immediately raise their hands when they encounter danger."
Zhou Jinru couldn't find any words to answer for a while, so he had to say: "This is not the case at the police station where my girlfriend works."
Adela suddenly stopped and turned around to stare at Zhou Jinru's face: "Why do you keep stressing about your girlfriend?"
Zhou Jinru grabbed his hair: "Does this make it appear that I love her more?"
Jiavir, who was following behind, couldn't stand it anymore and complained: "How on earth does a guy like you find a girlfriend? Why does that person follow you wholeheartedly?"
"Maybe I have a kind heart, or I am handsome, or I have a soft spot for Chen..."
Gavel heard the veins on his forehead bulge, clenching his fists, wishing he could punch him on the spot to shut up this narcissist.
"I didn't do anything wrong, right?"
Adela suppressed her discomfort and said, "Yes, you did nothing wrong. You are such a good person."
Soon, the three people walked through the night and walked outside the small shop opposite the local police station. They hid behind a pile of debris and peeked at the brightly lit police station.
"The purpose of our coming here is to help the faction members we captured. With their help, we can gather the effective forces scattered in the Eastern Region, so that we can restore the decline."
Adela spoke out her thoughts, holding a long sword in her hand. She was ready to be the first one to rush forward, buying more time for her companions behind.
Zhou Jinru pinched his chin: "Since you are such an important person, who asked you to take such a big risk?"
"You may not know him, but Chief Gavel must know that Mr. Duma is being held in this police station."
Gavel was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Duma was arrested?"
Zhou Jinru looked at Adela, then at Gavel, and asked: "Who is Duma?"
"A very talented person, even Dr. Wasim highly praised his works, but I don't know why, Mr. Duma seems to be obsessed with a painter, mainly because of the incomprehensible paintings painted by this painter .”
Zhou Jinru defended Duma and said: "Those who engage in literary creation like to understand some artistic creation."
"It's impossible. That painter's paintings are all paintings that make people feel uncomfortable."
Gavel held her forehead, she had had enough of these two people: "Are you going to do this or not?"
"Dry!"
Adela looked to the left and right, but found nothing. She immediately ran towards the police station with her long sword in hand, followed closely by Zhou Jinru, and the last one was Jiavir.
Adela flew forward and kicked open the door of the police station, raised the sword in her hand and shouted: "Put down the weapons in your hands!"
But the accident happened at this moment. Her shouting did not have the expected effect. The police officers who had been gathered together jumped out when they saw someone breaking in and asked them to put down their weapons. Shouting and rushing over.
"Adela, it seems your plan went awry from the beginning."
The first person to stand next to Adela was Jiavir. As for Zhou Jinru, he didn't know where he had gone.
With his bare hands, Gavel let out a strange scream, grabbed the talking table at the door of the police station with his right hand, and threw it at the police officers who rushed over. Since it was winter, everyone was wearing thick clothes, and Gavel was just throwing things away. It was thrown rather than directly destroyed, so when the talking table hit the ground, it only forced the rushing police officers to retreat.
"The fourth area of the Eastern District was attacked by unknown armed men. The scene was very tragic... Hello?!"
The operator who picked up the phone to report the situation yelled into the phone for a long time before realizing that there was no signal. All he had just said could only be said to himself. Unwilling to accept it, he grabbed the phone on his colleague's desk one after another, only to find that all the phones had no signal. They are all disconnected, and only endless busy tones can be heard.
The operator was shocked to know that someone had cut off the police station's communication with the outside world. This person had a deep understanding of the engineering and construction industry, because most of the current telephone lines are still left in the open air due to technical reasons.
After finishing everything, Zhou Jinru was late. He appeared in the lobby of the police station and saw police officers lying on the floor in a mess. It seemed that on his way to solve some minor problems, the powerful Adela and Jiaweier The obstacle has been cleared.
"Who the hell are you?!"
A police officer who barely supported his body asked loudly.
Zhou Jinru raised his leg and kicked the policeman to the ground. He said in a bad tone, "Who do you think I look like?!"
"Outlaw maniac, people like you will never be able to escape the punishment of the law!"
Ignoring the police officer's call, Zhou Jinru quickly walked to the cell area behind the police station and saw Adela and Jiaweier standing outside an iron door, working on unlocking it.
He asked: "Can't you get in?"
"How is it possible? Adela is the king of lock picking in Londinium. There is no lock in this city that she can't open."
Adela's face turned red, her hand movements lost rhythm, and she heard a click as her lock pick broke in the lock cylinder.
"No need to bother."
Zhou Jinru motioned to the two girls to step aside a little. He was so angry that he let out a low growl. He raised his leg and kicked the iron door with a loud bang. The door lock cracked and springs and other parts flew everywhere.
"When did you become so violent?"
Zhou Jinru didn't answer, but looked down at the ID card. He had changed from a crazy mist hunter to an outlaw, and he was still an important supporting role.
I don’t know what’s behind the outlaws.
Adela didn't have time to ask any more questions. She opened the door and went straight to the inside of the police station. There were many people imprisoned in several iron fences. When they saw Adela coming in, they couldn't help shouting wildly, and some even grabbed the iron fences violently. Shaking, as if it would rush out in the next second.
"Is there the person you are looking for here?"
The appearance of Gavel calmed down the slightly out-of-control scene. In the entire Eastern Region, there were few people who were not afraid of the fists of this female high school hero.
"It should be, I will let everyone go."
"But the situation in the Eastern Region is already very complicated. Can you guarantee that each of them is a law-abiding civilian?"
"I don't have a better idea."
After a lot of effort, Adela finally found Duma hiding in the corner of the cell.
"Mr. Duma!"
Duma raised his head slightly when his name was called out. He was still wearing the same coat he had been wearing when he was arrested. Except for the messy collar and pale face, he was basically the same as an ordinary person.
Duma asked: "Who are you?"
After a few minutes, Duma finally believed that they were members of the same faction and agreed to leave together.
…
…
Zhou Jinru opened the record book placed next to the cabinet in the police station. There were records of absences or early departures. The latest grade was half a month ago.
"There are no more daily records. How is this possible?"
He flipped through a few more pages and found that there were records for every day in the front, but there was nothing left until half a month ago.
Suddenly, there was a commotion inside the police station, and the arrested people kept running out, heading towards a freer world.
"Mr. Duma, can you still move now?"
After Duma walked out of the cell, the first thing he saw was Zhou Jinru who was flipping through records behind the counter. Although he was embarrassed, he still maintained his grace and shouted softly: "Old friend, we meet again."
Zhou Jinru raised his head, somewhat unable to recognize the pale guy in front of him. He hesitated and said, "Have we met before?"
Duma was also stunned: "When we were in Volet Prison, you promised me to help me find that great painter. Have you forgotten?"
"It does happen."
Zhou Jinru remembered clearly that the prisoner asked him to find a painter so that he could be released quickly. However, what he didn't expect was that Zhou Jinru fell ill after falling into the water and was delayed. Coupled with the changes in the past few days, due to a combination of circumstances, Zhou Jinru When a prisoner is released from prison, he returns to his original name, which is the Duma in front of him.
