Chapter 206 The Beginning of the Secret Instrument (3400 Plus)

Two blocks away from the Dewey Detective Agency.

Detective assistant Derian is in a good mood lately.

The "Old Man"'s plan was a great success. He was allocated a considerable amount of gold pounds. It was only today that he completed all the formalities and transferred it to the bearer account he opened at the Royal Bank of Pulmouth.

"I'm going to resign today and let that Detective Du Wei eat shit!"

"I'm going to Pulmouth, I'm going to open a big detective agency, and I'm going to start a whole new life!"

Derian was so excited that he didn't even see the road, tripped over something, and fell hard.

"Damn, my clothes?"

He was distressed to see the stains on the clothes he just bought, and looked angrily at the culprit who caused him to fall - a sparkling crystal!

In the next instant, Derian wiped his eyes, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

He flew at an unbelievable speed, grabbed the shiny thing in his hand, and glanced around like a thief.

Fortunately, there were few pedestrians around, and no one noticed it.

Derian ignored the pain and filth on his body, quickly pulled up his collar, covered his face, and left the scene.

Turning into an alley, he glanced around, making sure that no one was there, and then he opened his palm and stared at the thumb-sized, shiny thing.

"Diamond? Crystal? It's worth at least a thousand pounds, and if it's a diamond... maybe the one in the crown of Inves isn't as big as it is!"

"It's mine, it's my...my...baby!"

"Today is my lucky day!"

Derian quickly stuffed the diamond into his personal pocket and went back to the street, seeing everyone feeling like the owner, and the next moment he would run over and grab him by the collar.

Fortunately, no one jumped out until they came to the outside of Du Wei's detective office.

Derian couldn't help but let out a long breath and muttered to himself: "The 'old man' said that there must be a beginning and an end to everything, and I must find a suitable excuse to resign, otherwise once I abandon my job and salary for no reason, it may lead to suspicion... Hmph. , the old man is too cautious."

The corners of his mouth lifted unconsciously, his eyes raised slightly, and he walked up to the second floor.

"Mr. Du Wei, I'm resigning."

Derian threw the resignation letter directly on Detective Du Wei's desk.

'It's so cool, I've wanted to do this for a long time. ’

"Oh..." Detective Du Wei smoked his pipe and asked slowly, "The reason?"

"I'm about to develop, and I'll become a great detective more famous than you!"

Derian didn't say the reason he made up, but instead the corners of his mouth curved upward, revealing a contemptuous smile.

"Then I wish you success..." Detective Du Wei frowned: "In addition, according to the contract, if you resign this week, half of the salary of the previous week will be deducted, and I can only give you 1 shilling and 5 pence..."

"unnecessary!"

Derian turned around and left: "You can give this money to the beggar!"

Du Wei looked at his back, spit out a smoke ring, and his eyes darkened slightly.

But Derian didn't notice that on the diamond in his pocket, a vague Astral word flashed by.

It means - [arrogant]!

...

[Arrogance] It flashed quickly, then disappeared, and then a word in the spirit world appeared.

Its meaning is - [greed]!

Derian, who was walking on the street, gradually turned red and his breathing became heavy: "I... I seem to be at a disadvantage. When I was allocated before, I should have gotten more! Old Eugene gave me too little... That newsboy , why does he take as much as I do? And that bitch Siri, she just spreads her thighs..."

Derian's emotions were fully mobilized, but he himself was in a state of excitement. Without knowing it, he came outside the public rental housing that day and knocked heavily on the door.

No matter how long he knocked on, the door was empty. It was obvious that Old Eugene gave up the place immediately after dividing the spoils.

And even the name 'Old Eugene' is very likely to be a pseudonym!

"Damn it, damn it!"

Derian kicked the door irritably and fled the scene before the landlord arrived.

Just as he was running, a scene automatically appeared in his mind.

——Old Eugene changed into a formal suit, dressed like a decent old gentleman, and checked into a luxury hotel. With a suitcase in his hand, he had already purchased a train ticket to leave Green Forest City the next day. Still a luxurious first-class seat!

In Derian's pocket, the word "Rage" on the diamond surface was fleeting.

"He's at the Emerald Hotel, Room 309. He can't escape."

Derian muttered to himself and ran to the direction of the hotel in the picture.

...

Emerald Hotel, Room 309.

After a loud bang, the door opened, revealing the face of old Eugene.

He looked at Derian, and there was a moment of panic in his eyes, but he was immediately suppressed.

Old Eugene looked around vigilantly and found that no one was following him, so he pulled Derian into the room and lowered his voice: "How did you find this place?"

He was really taken aback!

"Old Eugene, I think my share is less, I want more, at least 800, no, 1,000 pounds!"

Derian gasped in his nostrils and clenched his fists: "I found you, you can't run away."

"Okay, okay, negotiable! Negotiable!"

As old Eugene went to get his wallet, he seemed to ask casually, "How on earth did you find me?"

"I have special tracking skills." Derian replied with a strong arrogant accent, the corners of his mouth raised.

"Well, I may have read it wrong before. You are an excellent detective, and all my money is here..."

Old Eugene handed the wallet to Derian, a gloomy look in his eyes.

Just as Derian took the wallet, old Eugene's fingers moved quickly, and a blade emerged between the index and middle fingers, swiping across Derian's neck.

Gollum, Gollum!

A lot of blood poured out of Derian's neck, and he desperately grabbed his neck, but he couldn't stop the blood from flowing, and he couldn't make a sound.

Eventually, he fell to the ground, turned into a corpse.

"You broke the rules, Derian!"

Old Eugene whispered coldly: "Because of your stupid idea, I have to change my identity again, damn it!"

He bent down and was about to dispose of the corpse, but when he searched his body, his expression changed, and he took out a thumb-sized diamond from Derian's pocket!

"This is……"

Old Eugene's eyes were instantly attracted by the bright light of diamonds, and his fingers kept rubbing: "My baby..."

His expression became a little blurry, he hid the diamond close to him, disguised himself, and walked out of the hotel.

Originally, old Eugene was going to leave the city immediately.

But the next moment, he passed by a garden and saw the children playing and playing, and he hesitated for a moment...
