Chapter 357
2014-08-16
Evening, East City District.The sky is slightly gloomy and a little stuffy, and anyone with a bit of experience can guess that there may be some rain later.
The East City District is probably the residence chosen by all the city nobles in the different world. The specific reason cannot be tested, probably because the sun that spreads light always rises from the east. Everyone knows that nobles are really boring sometimes... Maybe because of the weather, luxury carriages are constantly returning from outside. However, when passing through the several guard posts at the gate, they all slowed down and accepted the inspection by the guards.
This appearance does not mean that the nobles obey the rules and disciplines. You must know that when they walk through the city gate, if they encounter an interception, their first reaction is often a whip to the guarding soldiers who cannot open their eyes.
It is for the safety of the place where I live naturally that I am so honest about the inspection.
In fact, this is the case. East City District, as the location of the overwhelming majority aristocratic manor, naturally put safety first. It can be said that the level of vigilance here is no less than that of the City Lord's mansion. In addition to the three or four guard posts that must pass through the gate, there are also several battallion standing cavalry in the garrison stationed throughout the city, and small teams are sent to patrol from time to time to ensure that no matter where an accident occurs, the fastest time to arrive.
However, this is the case, the nobles still use various excuses, either overtly or covertly, to keep private soldiers far exceeding the regulations of the empire, and to guard the security of the manor at all times. Well, this is a group of very insecure guys.
At this moment, a carriage with an unremarkable appearance stopped at the gate, checked it a little, and the sentry guards respectfully released it.
The guards here want to get along well, and a respectful attitude is inevitable. But now the respect is different from others, less superficial, more flattering. No way, just look at the prancing horse Knight logo on the carriage. This is their immediate boss, that is, the carriage of the director of the National Police Agency.
As soon as the carriage was released, the raindrops fell. The rain was not heavy, but it was definitely annoying, especially when it was about to get to the door, so, "You mother!" Police Commissioner Demps opened the curtains and looked at the meandering lines on the car window wall. Like the rain of a spider, she cursed in a depressed voice.
Demps, the police chief of Shanxi City, has served for nearly 20 years. He was born in this city and is already familiar with all this, so he has no plans to make any changes after taking this position. If there are no accidents, the next ten years will be the same. Occasionally clean up the gangs that crossed the line, and follow the orders to suppress the commoners who rebelled in the affiliated farms... That's it. Not all police chiefs are going to be like Bowens, at least not Demps.
According to the commonly known rules, the nobles with higher titles generally move closer to the center of the city. The status of the head of the police department is naturally not high, and he doesn't even have a title, so his family lives not far from the gate post.
It's not a manor, but it's good to have four or five buildings here.
After the driver stopped the carriage, Demps hesitated, picked up the blanket in the carriage and draped it over the cake beside him. Oh, by the way, today is his daughter's tenth birthday.
"Damn rain!" Cursed again, Demps rushed down the carriage with the cake in his hand, and then ran wildly down the path in front of the door. Of course, he could ask the driver to help, but after all, it was his daughter's birthday, so it didn't make sense.
Fortunately, the path is not long. Although Demps is middle-aged, since he is the chief of the police department, he naturally has strength and physical strength. In just a few seconds, he killed under the roof of the hall.
Slightly calmed and lifted the blanket, Demps breathed a sigh of relief, the cake was not deformed.
Bang, bang, bang!
Bang, bang, bang!
"Oh, goddamn lazy maids, I really should fire you all! Swear to Light God, I'll fire you right away!" Rumbling cursing, Demps took cake, blanket, and labored. He took out the key from his side pocket to open the door.
As expected, the hall was empty.
"I will definitely fire you all, get out of here..." The good mood for celebrating her daughter's birthday has been destroyed, Demps angrily crossed the hall and walked straight to the main room .
"Damn, not even the lights... er, what?" There were a few large windows in the hall, and although it was dark outside, it was barely visible. But the main house is not enough, Demps stepped in, his eyes were blackened, and he was shaking with anger! And in the dark, his feet also stepped on something soft. Before he could figure out what it was, chi... A little fire came on, the silver candlestick on the table in the main room was lit, and then the environment brightened.
Demps narrowed his eyes and subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, but the moment he stretched out a little was a meal, the complexity greatly changed, because behind the dining table was sitting a strange middle age person with a cold face.
"You..."
"Shh!" Hu... Shi presses the lips, then exhales to extinguish the match, the middle age person remains calm and composed while handling pressing affairs Adjust the sitting posture , glanced at the frame drawing board in his hand, looked up, and said in a cold and hoarse voice, "Good evening, Mr. Demps Police Chief."
"Who are you?" Demps regained his composure , lowered his voice fiercely. At the same time, the body is tight, ready to avoid the delicate crossbow in the hands of the middle age person.
"Sit!" Without answering the question, the middle age person pointed to the chair opposite the table with his left hand holding the frame.
"I warn you..." Demps was of course impossible to sit over. With the distance between the two, he was still able to avoid the crossbow bolt, at least not to hit the key point, but if he sat close, Hard to say. But he shut up halfway through the words of the warning, because in the direction of the crossbow that the middle age person moved, Demps was surprised and angry and found his wife and daughter leaning against each other, eyes closed on the side of the house. on the soft seat.
“Sit!” the middle age person spoke again.
This time Demps came over with a livid face, but in an instant he touched the soft thing before, bowed his head, and the chubby maid who was about to be fired by him was lying at his feet. ...with his face twitching, he took a few steps forward, put the cake blanket aside, and pulled out the seat to sit down slowly.
"How did you get in?"
"Nice family! Today is your daughter, um, I think, Anne, Anne's birthday, right." middle age person will The frame was placed in front of Demps, and there was an oil painting in it. It was the Demps family of three. It was supposed to be in Anne's bedroom.
"Don't be nervous, they're fine, just fell asleep temporarily and woke up in about ten minutes."
Whew... Demps didn't care about the middle age person treating him Knowing the threat to the family, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and a big stone fell in his heart.
At this time, the middle age person spoke coldly again: "So our conversation will end within five minutes, if I don't get the result I want by then, or you make any impulsive action in the middle... ...Sorry, I will kill more than you."
After a pause, "I just want to say this, I just hope that the Director can have a rational understanding and hope that we can cooperate happily."
"What do you want me to do?" Demps asked without delay.
"Wow, very good, we have a good start." middle age person shrugged, and then clicked on the desktop, "Just a small request, um, a group of people will enter Shanxi City tomorrow, There are no more than 20 people, and their skills are very good. I hope that the director can mobilize the guard cavalry, and greet the soldiers guarding the city and various gangs in the city to find out their positions.”
Here are the words. , no need to guess, this middle age person is naturally Tang En.
Joah's secret agency can't be counted on, otherwise he wouldn't know the identity of the other party until now. Now, the only way to find someone is to risk the energy of the Director of Police. The effect is undoubtedly obvious. Even if the defenders couldn't recognize it, and the guard cavalry couldn't find it, those gang members would definitely dig it out. After all, the behavior of those people is very arrogant, it shouldn't be too much concealment.
Of course, this presupposes that Demps can agree. In fact, Tang En was 80% sure at this moment, thank Light God, this is not someone similar to Bowen, otherwise, even with his family around, he would definitely fight now.
Demps frowned upon hearing this, the cavalry under his command was of course no problem. It is difficult to defend the city, after all, it is not a system. Well, I owe a favor. But those gang chops... not afraid that they won't agree, Demps believes that as long as he asks, those chops will try their best to do it, but the consequences... Demps is not a person who hates evil like Bowens, He was just worried that those offal would take the opportunity to raise prices and disrupt the normal pattern of Shanxi City.
But no matter how he thinks, if Demps is as Tang En expected, the first thing he will consider is the question of consent.
"You've wasted two minutes!" Tang En indifferently said.
"I promise!" Demps said without hesitation, gritted his teeth and agreed.
Tang En shook the head: "No, I don't want you to agree to the request, but to agree to find them."
"You..." Demps glared, But looking at the frame on the table, the figure stooped down again, helplessly said, "I will try my best to find it, but Shanxi City has a daily flow of people..."
"Although I also understand it very well. Your feelings, however, another thirty seconds have passed!" Tang En said coldly.
"hū chī..." In just a few minutes, Demps had sweated on his forehead and wiped it. His face twisted and he gasped a few times, "I promise, I promise to find them!"
"Very good!" Tang En was satisfied with nodded, but his tone was still the same, "The next words are a bit shameless, please Forgive me! Anne is now studying at St. James' Academy. Well, and your wife must go to church every Saturday when..."
"Enough!" Demps turned ashen , growling in a low voice. Of course he understood the meaning of these words. If he didn't bother to find out the damn dozen or so people, his life, including his family, would be threatened.
"Sorry again." Tang En got up and bowed slightly, then pointed to the top and said indifferently, "There is a small device in the main bedroom of the attic, which is a blasting crystal, I hope that the adults can spend the next five minutes. Goodbye, I wish you a good night."
Demps didn't have time to get angry before his eyes flashed... He opened his mouth, stunned for a few seconds, then turned his head to look around, rubbing Rub your eyes and don't see any silhouette! The other party disappeared in front of him in an instant. If it wasn't for the frame on the table, Demps really thought he had had a nightmare.
This is a demonstration... Demps instantly understood the other party's intentions, before he waited for the shock to dissipate, before he waited for a loud warning... Wait, blast the crystal! ! !
Bang, bang...deng deng deng...The chair fell to the ground, and the object blocking the road was directly slammed into the wall, Demps stepped on the stairs like an angry and panicked bull, and rushed upstairs at high speed go with.
"Master bedroom, master bedroom..."
Bang, the door opened and it was pitch black. He went straight to the desk, and when he was about to arrive, his movements were instantly frozen, and then it became soft. Explore slowly and find a matchbox in a familiar location. Demps now deeply hates why he learned aristocratic arty and did not install lighting crystals before.
Shi, tremblingly lit a match and broke it. Chi, the flames flickered, lighting the candlesticks on the table.
suddenly turned around and looked around. The master bedroom is still familiar, and on the surface there is simply nothing more to be seen.
Bang, bang, bang, drawer after drawer was gently pulled open, and then fell fiercely to the ground.
"No, no..." He kept chanting like a nervousness, sweat pouring down, and Demps's inner clothes were soaking wet at the moment.
"Where, where... come out, come out..." He fell to the ground in an instant, and the bed was still empty. Liushen Wuzhu stood up and lifted the pillow, still nothing.
"Wu wu...Wang Wang...wu wu..." Seemingly disturbed by the movement in the bedroom, a faint voice suddenly sounded in the room.
What sound? Demps was shivered and quickly held his breath.
"wu wu..."
Turning his head instantly, Demps looked towards the wardrobe over the bed, swallowed, and took a few quick steps, then Approach slowly. The closer you get, the clearer the sound.
The outstretched right hand squeezed in the air, released, squeezed, released, and finally gripped the closet handle. Phew...pa! It was opened suddenly.
"wu wu...wangwang...wu wu..."
Under the wardrobe, there is a small iron cage, in which a pure white puppy that has not opened its eyes is sitting. He kept sniffing his nose, and there was a vague whimper in his mouth.
Demps looked blank, staring blankly at the puppy. After half a sound, blinked, bent down and picked up a folded white paper on the cage.
Open, "I heard that Annie has always wanted to adopt a puppy, so, happy birthday!"
"kā kā, hehe, grace..." Demps throated He made a strange noise, his face was complicated, and he didn't know what to think or do now...deng deng deng... A footstep sounded behind him, and then a crisp voice sounded, "Father, it's not good, Aunt Mary is dizzy. Down... ah, puppy, puppy!" Little Annie in a white skirt stepped directly over from the bed, fell to the ground, and lifted the small iron cage.
"It's really a puppy, really a puppy. Wow, father, don't you allow dogs? Oh, I see, you're going to surprise me for my birthday Right?"
"Uh... well, surprise, surprise, hi, like?"
