193 Chapter 1

The news about Qilinguesi is not long, that is to say, the time, place, people and results are clearly explained. As the saying goes, the shorter the content, the bigger the matter.

What happened in Backlund at 8 or 9 o'clock last night was disclosed by newspapers in Tingen City this morning. The speed of information exchange in this world is not too slow. This is all the outstanding contribution of Emperor Roselle... Well, It must be that the nobles and councilors who attended the ball leaked the news to some journalists they had acquainted with, and some of them used telegrams to send this sensational news back to their respective newspaper headquarters in other counties and cities...

Morning newspapers are usually typeset at night, printed at midnight, and published in the morning, just in time to make urgent adjustments and publish in time...

Based on this news alone, today's "Tingen Morning Post" can sell at least a thousand more copies, and this is only counting the urban area of ​​the city...

Klein thought about it scatteredly, and his heart settled down:

"Since Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilingus died, it means that even if Mr. Ards was injured, it would not be too serious..."

"If it's more serious, he will definitely be caught by the Punisher or Duke Negan's Extraordinary bodyguards, and in such an emergency, Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man will definitely find everything Report to me at every opportunity, the fact that the latter did not happen is enough to prove that things are under control..."

"Well, if Mr. Ards hasn't replied to me before midnight tonight, or Miss Justice and Mister Hanged Man haven't prayed to me, I'll blow the copper whistle again, summon the messenger, and send a letter to inquire... ..."

After relaxing, Klein turned his attention away from the newspaper and looked around the carriage.

Most people who have the money to take this kind of transportation know the words. Affected by the "extra-number" just now, many people bought the "Tingen Morning Post". Now a few people they know are discussing in a low voice:

"A long, long time ago, the pirate king and his generals were endangering the shipping routes. Except for retreating from the fleets of various countries, they didn't pay attention to armed merchant ships at all... Although Qilingus was listed as one of the seven pirate generals It's only been ten years, but it's the first big pirate killed by the government..."

"Frankly speaking, I'm curious. What did he do in Backlund? When the pirates leave the ocean, death is a foreseeable thing."

"I hope there will be more detailed reports in the future."

"On the storm, I want to know which of Duke Negan's bodyguards shot and killed Qilingos. His bounty is 10,000 pounds!"

"10,000 pounds... If I have 10,000 pounds, I will resign immediately, buy two or three small and medium-sized plantations, invest in the stocks of colonial companies and railway companies, and enjoy a fixed income every year..."

"This is just a reward offered by the Kingdom. Intis, Fusac, Fenepot, and some commercial organizations all have rewards for Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilingus. I desperately hope that a newspaper will publish these rewards. List the full amount."

ten thousand pounds? Klein was stunned for a moment.

Considering his current salary is considered generous, he has to go without eating or drinking for nearly 20 years to save so much money...

I knew it earlier... Forget it, I have no choice, it is impossible to claim the reward... He folded the newspaper in some frustration, and looked out the window of the carriage.

At this time, he finally confirmed that the matter of "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Qilingus had come to an end, and there was only some finishing work left, such as the batch of Russell's diaries that "The Hanged Man" would pay for.

…………

Backlund, Jorwood District.

Forsi Wall and Hugh Dilcha, who were wearing gauze hats, walked along the street and headed for the nearest Bavat Bank branch.

"Money always disappears without knowing it." Fors sighed.

Xio nodded sympathetically:

"yes."

"Fortunately, the book "Storm Mountain Villa" is relatively popular, and the 6th sequel will still have the remuneration entered into my account. Otherwise, I will have to find a clinic or hospital and become a doctor again." Forsi said contentedly and worriedly. sighed.

Xio was silent for a few seconds, then asked cautiously:

"Will this investigation of Qilingus affect your authorship? After all, we may be targeted by the Punishers and the Nighthawks..."

"Do not,

The only one being targeted is you. "Fors said with a chuckle, "You are the one who sent someone to the police station to call the police, you are the one who sent the letter, and you are the one who is famous in the gangster circle and certain streets in the East District, and I, Fors Waugh Er, has always been a recent popular best-selling author. "

"..." Xio paused for a moment and said, "So, are you staying with me during this time?"

Forsi shook her head, said with a low smile:

"Don't you think this is a very interesting experience? Well... this experience has given me a lot of creative inspiration. I will write various stories caused by a sudden murder case in my next film."

Hugh suddenly didn't know what language to use to respond, so he could only walk forward dully, accidentally forgot to turn, and was pulled back by Forsi.

Just then, they heard the newsboy shout:

"Extra! Extra! Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilingos was killed in Backlund!"

...

ah? What? Xio and Forsi looked at each other blankly.

They didn't wake up until the newsboy repeated several times from far to near.

"What? Qilingus is dead?" Fors couldn't believe her ears.

"He's actually dead! How could he die suddenly!" Xio, who was avoiding the possible reverse pursuit of the murderous pirate, was shocked and dazed.

This, shouldn't this be a normal process? First, they found clues to determine Qilingus' purpose, then gathered strong men to ambush him, and finally the pirates were killed... As a result, Qilingus died before the first step was completed... That's how easy it is to die... Forsi and Xio, you look at me, and I look at you, like two marble statues.

After dozens of seconds, Xio rushed to the newsboy and bought a copy of this morning's "Tasoke News".

This is one of the three most popular newspapers in the Loen Kingdom.

"Hmm... Qilingus is indeed dead, he was shot dead by Duke Negan's bodyguards... Goddess, Duke Negan's bodyguards are..." Xio automatically muted his voice, and did not say the "powerful Extraordinary" behind.

Forsi glanced at her friend with pity:

"You actually completely believe the description in the newspaper..."

"Well, maybe someone else discovered Qilingus' purpose in advance, and the high-level executives of the Punisher, Nighthawks, Mechanical Heart, and the military's special department jointly completed a successful ambush..." Xio was stunned suddenly, and vomited He took a breath and said, "We don't have to worry about anything anymore, we can return to normal life, but we have to try our best to avoid the scope of the previous police station."

She glanced at Fors, and asked with some trepidation and worry:

"How much do you think Miss Audrey will pay us, under such circumstances? I know, to her, a few hundred pounds is not much, but we haven't really completed the commission either..."

"No, at least we let Qilingus appear on his own initiative. The reason why he rushed to act and fell into an ambush must be due to our contribution." Fors comforted, "With Miss Audrey's generosity, even if we don't pay everything At least half of the reward will be given."

"I hope so..." Xio took a deep breath, and whispered full of longing, "I don't know who will receive the reward of ten thousand pounds..."

"It's really enviable. If I had this money, I would have been in the sequence, the sequence, and missed the opportunity again and again!" Fors also sighed with emotion, and finally reminded, "Hugh, let's not go in a short time Find Miss Audrey, and wait for her to contact us, Qilingus' death hides too many details that we don't know, and looking for Miss Audrey rashly may put us in danger."

Xio nodded first, then said in astonishment:

"How do you know I want to go to Queens right now?"

"Guess." Forsi replied with a smile.

…………

After a busy morning, Klein returned to the Blackthorn Security Company and reported to Dunn Smith:

"Captain, the part of the people I'm responsible for investigating that is related to Lanwusi is all right. They are just simple victims and have not been involved in any incidents involving Fan."

Dunn propped his elbows on the desk at the same time and said:

"Then you should stop for the time being and wait until the other people are responsible for the part, and then focus on tracking down the suspects. It is impossible for us to devote all our manpower to this matter. We must prevent other emergencies."

"Okay." Klein was about to stand up and enjoy his lunch when he heard a knock on the door.

"Please come in." Dunn said in a mellow voice.

Turning the handle, the door opened, Rosan probed her head and said:

"Captain, someone has come to entrust the task."

Entrusting the mission... This kind of statement is aimed at the Blackthorn Security Company, not the Nighthawks team... So, who came to us by mistake? Klein muttered to himself in a daze.

Dunn thought for a while and said:

"You can go and listen, if it's too troublesome, just refuse."

He tidied up his shirt, vest, and watch chain, walked out of the office, passed through the partition, and approached the sandy area of ​​the reception hall, followed by Klein and Roseanne curiously.

There are two ladies sitting in the sand seat, both wearing black soft hats and long black skirts, without any extra color.

One of them has a plump figure and fair skin. His face is covered by the fine black gauze hanging from the hat, and his features are vague.

Seeing her, Klein suddenly felt a little familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

When he was thinking about it, he heard another thin lady say:

"The task we want to entrust is to track and monitor Mrs. Sharon and find evidence of her crime."

Mrs. Sharon... Suddenly, Klein remembered where the sense of familiarity came from.

The lady who didn't speak was the wife of MP Maynard, the daughter of the new party boss.

She couldn't accept her husband's death, and she was unwilling to admit the conclusion of the police department, so she asked the security company to re-investigate in private?

Hey, they found us directly... Klein shook his head and smiled secretly. ) Book friends, pay attention!
