When Kino heard the sound, he deliberately showed an extremely shocked expression: "What? Irene is looking for an assassin to kill me?! Is she crazy?!"

Grabo frowned when he saw Kino's reaction: "You don't know about this?"

Kino's eyes were innocent and simple: "Do you look at me like I know?"

"That's even weirder! When Erin told me about this, she mentioned her deal with the Desert Assassin Organization. According to the contract, the deadline is the 30th of this year's Dettol!" Grabo rapped with his knuckles.

He leaned on the table and said seriously: "Theoretically, you should be dead by now!"

Kino gave a short smile: "What? You are very dissatisfied with the fact that I am alive?"

Grabo shook his head: "Let me make it clear first, you and I have nothing to do with each other. I personally have no objection to you. It's just that Irene's case is very strange. If you are attacked by an assassin and escape from the opponent's hands by chance, I will not

It will feel strange.”

"But you said you didn't know about it, which means the assassin didn't come to you at all, which is unreasonable."

Kino shrugged: "There are many possibilities. For example, Irene later regained her senses and canceled the commission, but did not have time to tell you; or the assassin organization was afraid of my identity, temporarily broke the contract, and ran away with the money——

You can't expect these desperadoes to have any integrity."

"Now that Irene is dead and the truth is unknown, we shouldn't pursue these things that have passed. What do you think?"

Grabo's voice weakened: "I have already reported this matter to the Governor's Mansion..."

The smile on Kino's face slowly disappeared: "Have you ever heard of a saying? It's better to do less than to do more."

Judging from Grabo's expression, he is now very remorseful and said irritably: "Damn the Governor's Mansion... I thought they would record me a meritorious service, and then send someone to check... The result is a piece of paper

The government order came down and actually asked me to investigate this matter personally... I can only come to you to discuss it, after all, you are one of the parties involved."

Kino shook his head and said: "I'm afraid I can't help you. As I said, I didn't know that Irene hired an assassin to kill me until you told me. I didn't know anything else."

"I came all the way to Twilight City, you can't let me come all the way in vain! We have to...damn it! Can you stop playing with that cat!" Grabo slammed the table angrily and yelled, "

We need to find the assassin hired by Irene immediately, maybe her death is related to that assassin!"

The little black cat in Kino's arms looked up at Grabo, its vertical pupils shrank slightly, bared its sharp fangs, and let out a fierce sigh.

Grabo pointed at the little black cat angrily: "It's mean to me?!"

Kino touched the cat's head: "You misunderstood, it is saying hello to you."

Grabo obviously had never raised a cat before and was immediately stunned.

"Ha--" The little black cat was milky and ferocious, and its huffing sound seemed to have the murderous intention of hunting prey. The claws that were retracted into the flesh pads slowly came out, extremely sharp.

Grabo's eyes widened: "Are you sure this is saying hello to you???"

"Of course I'm sure. I raise a cat. Can I not know about it?" Kino rubbed the little black cat's flesh pads and pushed its paws back.

"Meow~" As soon as Chino stroked him, the little black cat immediately put away its fierce look and kept rubbing its head against his hand, while also making breast-stomping movements with its paws.

Kino touched the cat and said calmly: "Since you want my cooperation, you should at least bring a plan. You can't let me think about this, right?"

Grabo withdrew his gaze from the little black cat and said in a deep voice: "I've thought about it. The Desert Assassin Organization is everywhere, and Irene didn't tell me how to contact them. It's hard for me to find them directly. In other words, I can't find them either.

That assassin."

"But the order from the Governor's Palace cannot be ignored. We must hand over this 'assassin'."

Kino: "You mean..."

Grabo: "It's very simple. I'll hire someone to assassinate you, and then we'll catch him together, bite him to death. He's the assassin hired by Eileen, and send him to the Governor's Mansion to take the blame."

Kino was immediately amused: "You are really a little genius! Hire someone to kill me? What if he really succeeds?"

Grabo said impatiently: "I won't find a real assassin. Let's just find a civilian who has children but is terminally ill and is willing to exchange his life for money, and then stuff him with hundreds of silver moons."

That’s it.”

"There are people like this all over the streets. How many civilians want to trade their lives for silver moons but they haven't had a chance yet! You and I each offer 200 silver moons. I guarantee you that there will be a lot of people rushing to do this job. You can bribe anyone at will."

Just send him to the Governor's Mansion to face the crime."

Kino: "Then have you ever considered that if the Governor-General uses torture during the interrogation, this scapegoat cannot bear the pain and confesses this matter, and both you and I will be finished."

Glaber was silent. Obviously, his below-average IQ had not thought about this matter.

Grabo kept tutting: "Can't we just take more insurance measures? Warn him in advance. If he dares to betray us, his family tree will be destroyed directly, and all the young and old will be slaughtered."

Kino: "The risk is still very high. The executioners in the Governor's Palace have been professionally trained and are extremely good at abusing the body and mind. When a person is tortured to the point of collapse, the first thing he thinks about is relief, not his family."

"If he really confesses, so what if you wipe out his entire family tree? No matter how many people you kill, will it be possible to recover our losses? If this thing goes wrong, you and I will both be expelled from the kingdom."

Kino's words really frightened Grabo. He thought for a while and continued: "Well, I will think of a way to hire a real assassin in the name of Irene to kill you. You are a transcendent.

We are not afraid of assassination. We worked together to catch the real assassin and sent him to the Governor's Mansion to face the crime. If he bites him to death, he is the real murderer who killed Irene. Anyway, no one has seen what the real murderer looks like, so he can't explain why."

The little black cat bared its teeth fiercely again: "Ha——"

Grabo was furious: "Why does it always say hello to me?!"

"Because even my cat was fooled by you." Kino frowned and shook his head and said, "I found that you never put yourself in other people's shoes. Putting aside the fact that this plan is full of loopholes, you find a real assassin.

Kill me, so what if I am an extraordinary person?"

"These assassins always attack from behind. Can I tense up and watch my back 24 hours a day? Even if I can, how much energy will it cost me? Why should I bother with such a thing?"

"boom!"

"Just because I am the son of a warrior under Sword and Shield!" Grabo slammed the table hard and said angrily, "This is the Beacon Province. If you, a down-and-out noble, want to gain a foothold here, you must come to please our Trojan family! You must come.

Please me! You must listen to me in everything!"

Kino looked at him like he was looking at an incompetent and furious clown: "My connections may be wider than you think."

Grabo was like an angry bull at this time, even his breathing became extremely heavy. He pointed at Kino's nose and said: "If you reject me, you will definitely regret it in the future!"

"Goodbye, Administrative Officer Grabo, please take your time before seeing me off." Kino immediately gave the eviction order, picked up the little black cat with his backhand, and kept teasing its chin.

Facing an administrator at the same level, Grabo couldn't really do anything else except threaten him based on his status. He could only give Kino one last look and leave angrily.

Grabo opened the door with force and was about to walk out when he suddenly noticed someone outside the door. Before he could stop himself, he bumped into the person and stumbled to the ground.

Grabo covered his head and was about to curse, but he was completely stunned.
