Hearing the name that he happened to have visited yesterday, Ronald bid farewell to the detective apprentice and set off immediately.
Considering the time problem [Liancheng www.wsx5.cn], he even took off his hat and opened his coat, pretending to be an ordinary pedestrian and hailed a taxi on the side of the road.
The speed of riding in a carriage is much faster than simply walking on two legs.
It didn't take long for Ronald to arrive at No. 51 Ron Avenue.
After handing the fare to the driver, Ronald pulled his collar and took a brief look around.
There is only a short distance between this place and yesterday's leather shop.
But the amazing thing is that after walking along this road of no more than 200 meters, the environment of the surrounding streets has changed very obviously.
The number of workers walking on the road has been greatly reduced, and even the hygienic conditions on the road have changed significantly. Clean streets, quiet environment, and fewer passers-by.
The area with a population of about ten households is in sharp contrast to other locations on Ron Avenue. Obviously, the other locations are almost all areas where private traders or workers work, but the dimensions here are completely different.
Looking at this special residential gathering place located in a working neighborhood, Ronald sighed silently.
Living in a place like this, it's no wonder there are inheritance disputes.
Without much hesitation, Ronald took out his folded hat and put it on, then stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Bang bang bang——
"Is anyone here?"
After a few seconds, he heard footsteps approaching the door from inside the house.
With a 'click' sound, a small window embedded in the door opened from the inside.
There is no invention similar to door mirrors in this world, so the function of this thing is to help people inside the house observe the outside world safely.
At this moment, a pair of somewhat cloudy eyes were looking at Ronald outside through this opening.
After staring at it for a few seconds, the other party asked:
"Sir, may I ask who you are...?"
Ronald nodded, took two steps back to let the other party see his whole face, and then said:
"Hello."
"I came to see Mr. Swift. He has something urgent at home that he needs to notify."
"..."
"Wait a minute, I'll call him."
After another few seconds of thinking, the other party simply replied to Ronald, then closed the small window and disappeared behind the door.
This time, after waiting for about two minutes, Ronald heard the sound of someone walking towards the door again.
This time, it was still the 'click' sound of the small window being pulled up that sounded first.
But as the window opened, the person who appeared inside was Swift.
Through the small window, he saw Ronald in a coat and wide hat, who was obviously dressed as an investigator. At first glance, the detective raised his eyebrows in surprise:
"Ronald?"
"How did you come?"
Also because of the keen nature of detective work, Swift guessed that something special had happened and opened the door before Ronald could answer his question.
"Come on, let's come in and talk."
Ronald took two steps into the house and looked around.
Except for the old man who accompanied the detective to the door, there were no other unnecessary people nearby.
Immediately, he came up to Swift and whispered:
"Time is very tight, you'd better leave quickly."
"This morning a cult warlock launched a surprise attack on the headquarters building of the Bureau of Investigation. The situation is now in chaos. The Bureau needs to use your identity to cover up the situation and help you check the situation."
"ha?"
The detective exclaimed in a low voice in confusion.
Hearing what Ronald whispered about the situation, he thought for a moment that he had misheard.
Does anyone dare to attack the investigation bureau?
From his time at Burrenwich...
No, it should be said that since Swift was born in this world, there has never been anything like this in the Burrenwich Bureau.
As a violent law enforcement agency on the mysterious side of Greed, the Bureau's reputation has always been like the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of people on the mysterious side.
The Investigation Bureau has always been avoided by others, how could anyone dare to attack such an institution!
But seeing Ronald's serious expression and his exclusive investigator attire, Swift had to choose to believe him.
After thinking for a few seconds, his eyes quickly glanced at the old man beside him.
After confirming that the other party was not eavesdropping, he asked Ronald in the same low voice:
"What's the specific situation? Can you tell me now?"
Ronald responded immediately:
"We will discuss the specific situation on the road. In short, the spell to expel idlers at the gate of the Investigation Bureau has completely failed, and even repairs are impossible."
"..."
"That's really bad enough."
Swift could almost imagine the exaggerated scene.
It can make the magic at the gate of the Investigation Bureau so ineffective that it cannot be repaired, and the situation on the scene will probably be extremely bad.
Also considering the Bureau's location on Long Beach Street...
No matter how you consider it, this is a real disaster!
Turning to look at the old man watching them, Swift immediately said:
"Mr. Jin, this friend and I have something urgent to deal with."
"Please help inform Mrs. Case, I will..."
"Mr. Swift!" After hearing the words from the detective's mouth, the old man changed his previous silence and said urgently, "Madam, by inviting you here, she will not be able to perfectly handle this inheritance dispute."
"Forgive me for taking the liberty of guessing..."
"You...are not going to run away from the battlefield, are you?"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this inquiry, Swift raised his eyebrows with an unkind expression.
He did not explain any more, but directly invited Ronald beside him:
"Ronald, wouldn't you mind watching a good show before setting off?"
"It only takes a few minutes."
Ronald nodded and said:
"No problem at all."
Seeing that Ronald agreed, Swift had no intention of continuing to talk to the old man beside him, turned around and took the lead to walk into the house.
Following Mr. Detective into the house, Ronald saw a complicated scene in the hall.
There were six people waiting around the table in the hall.
Among them were men and women, old and young.
Judging from their black and white attire, it was obvious that an important member of the family had passed away not long ago.
In addition, there were two people in formal clothes standing aside.
After all, there is a problem with the distribution of the inheritance, which should be the responsibility of a notary.
When she saw Swift leading Ronald into the room, the woman sitting in the main seat immediately spoke:
"Mr. Swift, are you done?"
"Ms. Case." The detective nodded politely first, and then said, "Today, I have extremely urgent matters to deal with."
"Can you please allow me to postpone it for a moment?"
In her words, Swift emphasized the "urgent" tone, and at the same time asked the other party with very sincere eyes.
However, after hearing the detective's words, someone on the side immediately shouted dissatisfied:
"Mr. Swift!"
"We invited you here to solve the problem as soon as possible and not to make everyone unhappy!"
"..."
Swift looked at the other party with extremely cold eyes.
Immediately, he looked at the woman on the throne again:
"Ma'am, what do you think?"
"..."
After thinking for a moment, the woman's eyes were a little tangled, but she finally spoke:
"Mr. Swift, please help us solve the problem first."
