A week has passed since the end of the Storm Month. The long-lost sunshine has shone on the world, dispelling people's gloomy mood caused by the long-term heavy rain.
"I said so."
"uh-huh?"
"I sometimes wonder if the fact that the 'King Slayer' wants to kill you was a lie made up by you."
Wayne held his chin in his hand: "Why do you have such an idea?"
"Because from that day on, you left all the errands to go out to me!" Liang wanted to throw the manuscript in his hand at the face of the guy in front of him, "It was raining earlier and you just asked me to run errands. This big
Qingtian, you still call me like this?"
"It's not like I won't pay you your salary."
"Is this a salary issue?!"
In his previous life, as a college student who had not yet entered society, Liang had few life skills, but now that he is here, he feels like he is about to become a full-time househusband.
How can this be an assistant? This is exactly Wein’s nanny!
"Well..." Wein shrugged, "You don't want me to die outside when I go out, and you become an unwanted child."
"...What a bullshit statement." Leon glared at Wein fiercely, "And you asked me to run errands. You didn't say it when I went out to buy groceries. You didn't say it until I came back. Are you kidding me?
"
"Because I hadn't finished writing when you went out to buy groceries." Wein said plausibly.
"Then don't wait until the deadline to finish the manuscript! You haven't been stuck at all these days. You are fully capable of finishing it in the first few days!"
Wei Yin said: "Taking fish and delaying drafts are essential qualities of a writer and must be appreciated."
Leon took a deep breath and gave Wei Yin a middle finger. Wei Yin was very generous and friendly. Not only did he not care about it, he also smiled and waved in response.
However, this friendly response made people even more angry, because the subtext of this guy was "You can't do anything to me."
"Keep an eye on the pot for me. If I find it burnt or something when I come back, don't expect me to make a new pot."
"Oh, then you are not allowed to starve with me?"
"...I'll go outside to eat!"
After saying these words, Leon slammed the door and left the office, heading to the nearby post office to deliver the manuscript.
After finishing the matter of sending the manuscript, Liang left the post office and happened to bump into a person whom he didn't know very well but had only met once.
Officer Grayson.
In the first case that Leon handled, this police officer from the city police force was the "guide" who issued a commission to them. However, the first case was soon forcibly suspended due to the visit of the Imperial Envoy. After that, Leon and Grayson
There is no more interaction.
Seeing Grayson, Leon was stunned, and Grayson also noticed Leon and said hello: "Hello, you are Mr. Noyes' assistant... Mr. Li, right?"
"Uh, yes, good afternoon, Officer Grayson." Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Leon could only choose to respond.
I have to say that although Vin is annoying, without him, Leon would always feel a little guilty when dealing with people from official organizations such as the city police force and the Suppression Bureau, fearing that his identity would be discovered.
"Are you on patrol?" Leon saw that Grayson was still wearing a city police uniform instead of civilian clothes.
"Yes, I am responsible for the security of this area today." Grayson shook his beard, "The stormy month has finally passed. How have you been this month? How is Mr. Noyes doing?"
"It's okay, boss... he's still like that."
Things were going okay, but there was a top assassin who was planning to kill Wein.
"I saw in the newspaper your report on the assassination of the Imperial Envoy. I can only say that it is Mr. Noyes. There is a high-level wizard hiding in the dark. Even the Sovereign Bureau would probably be very difficult to deal with it, but he was
He defeated it easily."
Grayson seems to admire Wein quite a lot. Well, if Leon didn't have to stay with Wein every day, he would probably think that Wein is a big shot with a bad temper but is enigmatic.
It is true that distance creates beauty.
As Grayson approached, Leon noticed a white paper flower pinned to his chest: "Officer, this is..."
Having a white paper flower on your chest is not a good sign.
"This?" Grayson glanced down, "Ah, this is part of our mourning ceremony."
"Mourning ceremony? Did any important person pass away recently?"
Speaking of big shots, Leon immediately thought of the deceased Imperial Envoy Wilson, but after all, more than a month had passed, and this white flower was definitely not mourning him.
"When a commissioner who made a significant contribution to the Sovereign Bureau dies, we will all wear paper flowers to commemorate him." Grayson said, "The deceased commissioner's name was Randolph Marshall. You probably don't know Mr. Li."
Um, Marshall...Marshall?!
Liang was stunned. Not only did he know this person, he also had a conversation with him.
At the Kalunkaya Residence where the Imperial Envoy was assassinated, Commissioner Marshall was also there at the time. Leon first witnessed the quarrel between Wein and Marshall, and was later called over by Marshall to be informed of the danger of Wein.
At that time, he felt that Marshall's fear of Wein was pure nonsense, but after knowing that Wein and the "regicide" were related to the assassination of the old emperor, Leon felt that Marshall's words still made some sense. Wein's
I'm afraid this guy really has anti-social tendencies.
Otherwise, would ordinary people hook up with Maze's assassins and get involved in assassinating the emperor?
However, Grayson now told him that Commissioner Marshall, who was quite paranoid and somewhat manic, passed away?
