The corridor is very quiet, and the study is on the second floor next to the ladder to the attic.
Victor pretended to make coffee for the guests and the gentleman, and then brought the drinks upstairs.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three knocks on the door elicited a response from the person inside.
"Please come in."
"Coffee has been brewed for you and the guests."
Victor entered with a gloomy face. Before he could see clearly who was sitting next to the glass coffee table, he locked the door with his backhand.
"I'm here to make my request, Mr. Will." Victor sneered and turned around. Just as he was about to deal with his employees, he suddenly froze in place.
Apart from Will, the person sitting at the coffee table was his old friend—Henry Vidal.
"Hi! Your deacon's casual clothes fit you quite well."
Victor's anger was extinguished as soon as it arose.
He put the coffee on the coffee table expressionlessly, and then glanced at Will.
Will smiled slightly, stood up from the chair, bowed his head to Victor, and then prepared to leave the room.
"Please help open the door, thank you!"
After unlocking the door, Victor sat down unceremoniously on the chair in front of Will and picked up the hot coffee.
"How did you find me?" he asked.
"Someone just sent me a letter not long ago, hoping that we can help each other in the future, have you forgotten?"
Henry also picked up the coffee, but instead of drinking it immediately, he gently blew on the rising steam.
Victor was a little embarrassed after hearing this, because the sender mentioned by the other party was himself.
After he arrived in Renekton and settled down, he sent Henry a letter, telling him that he was about to join the Anti-Suppression Department. From now on, everyone would be regarded as colleagues and could take care of each other if anything happened in the future.
Originally I thought it would be a week before Henry received the letter, but who knew he actually arrived in Renekton, and at the mail window of the train station he found letters that had not yet been sent to the east.
As for why Henry was able to find Victor, it was because Victor told him in the letter that he lived at No. 13 Baker Street, and asked Henry to keep it secret.
Who knew this guy would come swaggering to visit during dinner time?
"I said...have your Inspection Bureau finished handling all the matters in the east?"
"Ah~~! First of all, I have to correct one word, it's 'our' Police Bureau..." Henry took a sip of hot coffee and pretended to give instructions, "If you have successfully joined the Anti-Suppression Department, then
We are considered colleagues, the Inspection and Inspection Bureau under the Ministry of Defense and Suppression."
Although they are said to be subordinates, in fact, the field elites of the Anti-Suppression Department do not look down upon these ordinary agents at all.
Victor cursed in his heart, imitating Henry's words, and replied: "Let me also correct you. I am officially a field elite agent of the Ministry of Defense and Suppression. I am at the same level as your investigator. Logically speaking, I am your superior..." As he spoke, Victor took out the silver badge and showed it off in front of Henry.
Henry chuckled, shook his head and said, "Aren't you curious why I can come back?"
Victor shrugged his shoulders, not caring.
"Because my current position is that of a prosecutor." Henry spread his hands and said teasingly, "The Augusta case gave me the capital to be promoted. This was originally Mark's position, but he was due to official duties.
died in the line of duty, so Chief Inspector Josh nominated me to the headquarters."
Victor's hand holding the cup paused in mid-air, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.
"It was precisely because I was promoted that I was able to return to Renekton early, because the investigator will lead his own team and is mainly responsible for investigation and arrest work in the streets and alleys of the city. There is no need for such a position in the wilderness of Missouri.
”
After listening to Henry's explanation, Victor basically understood the nature of the investigator, but the chief inspector was a little bit miserable. Although he had a higher position, he still had to lead a group of investigators to suppress bandits in the barren east. "General Inspector Josh still has important tasks, so he must stay there. I guess he will probably become the head of the Eastern Branch."
Henry's eyes revealed envy.
He had mentioned early on that in order to respond to the public security laws, the Inspection Bureau was likely to set up a branch in the east in the future. The reason why Josh led his men to go all the way to "enforce public security" was also for this reason. p>
"Okay, it's almost time for us to reminisce about old times. Let's talk about important things." Henry lowered his eyes and looked at his friends beside him.
In fact, before Victor left Missouri, Henry and the others already knew that Victor was a seer, so Josh wrote that letter of introduction.
But none of them knew what kind of seer Victor was, only Father Sang knew.
"Let's talk about that annoying Thomas..." Henry crossed his legs, "It's very difficult to get him to go to jail."
"Have you taken action?" Victor asked sideways.
"Yes, but that guy used bribes and sold off his assets to recruit all the forces that could help him make perjury, and finally paid a huge price to get bail."
Henry became particularly angry when talking about the tycoon.
"It's such a pity, then he will definitely try his best to retaliate against the Inspection Bureau."
"Haha..." Henry replied disdainfully, "That guy sold off a large area of oil drilling plants and iron smelting plants in order to get enough money to get him off the hook. Now Cornwall Company is in Missouri.
Our assets are far less than before, and we have no time to deal with anyone. And do you think the Inspection Bureau is a vegetarian?"
It seems that even if Thomas is not in jail, his life will definitely not be easy now.
Victor nodded and changed the topic: "What's going on with the aborigines?"
Henry sighed after hearing this: "Run away."
"Run away?"
"Yes, in Prescia within a few days, only the tents were blown away by the wind. Those Valentines fled from all directions and scattered in the vast wilderness with no vegetation, and there was no trace at all." "What about the crow?" Victor frowned.
Henry smiled and said: "Do you think we can catch him easily? He is a listener and a caller."
Victor smiled bitterly.
"Okay! Are you deliberately showing off to me that you can live in such a big house as soon as you come back? Why do you need to hire a servant to play the role of the master of the house?"
Henry was very curious about Victor's behavior. He didn't know that there was a coyote statue on the other person's back, and of course he didn't know the danger Victor was facing.
In the past, in Renekton, Henry could only rent a small apartment on Gilded Avenue. When he saw that Victor's house was so warm and romantic, he felt a little jealous at least in his heart.
Victor stood up and refilled his glass, and while pouring it, he said: "Elites of the Anti-Suppression Department, of course, have to be a little secretive. I am not Father Sang. I tell others that I am a seer of the bright light wherever I go." Henry didn't think there was anything wrong with this, so he didn't press any further.
"Oh, by the way!" Victor suddenly remembered an important thing, "Now that you're back, it should save me a lot of trouble if I go to the Inspection Bureau to do things."
Henry heard what he meant and twisted his neck.
Victor then said: "I want you to help me look up a circus called 'Pili Little Pig'."
"Circus?" Henry was surprised.
"Well, this is internal information from the Anti-Suppression Department. They are not dangerous people. I just want to talk to their boss." Victor did not tell Henry his purpose to avoid causing irrelevant trouble.
"It's just a circus. If they are a normal business performance, you don't need the Inspection Bureau to find out." Henry reminded.
"Because the Inspection Bureau is fast..." Victor smiled.
After hearing this, Henry stretched hard, stood up from the chair, and responded: "Okay! I'll go ask for you. Someone should be able to send the news tomorrow morning. If there is nothing else,
I won’t disturb you anymore.”
"Won't you stay for dinner?"
As soon as Victor finished speaking, he thought of Pemis's orange face full of resentment, and regretted the words as soon as he said them.
If the maid makes trouble for him at the dinner table, then he will be completely embarrassed.
Besides, as a butler, he is not qualified to serve with the guests. Will should be the one to accompany Henry to eat.
"No, how can you have dinner with me if you pretend to be a butler? Today, my colleagues in the Inspection Bureau will celebrate the newly appointed prosecutor. There is a banquet on Baiyin Road. I should rush there."<
/p>
After Henry finished speaking, he took off his long coat from the shelf next to him, opened the study door and walked out.
Victor suddenly stopped him and asked slyly: "By the way, your current salary must be more than 4 farka per week, right?"
"Well..." Henry pinched his chin, with a happy face, and answered honestly, "Eight Faka per week, doubled."
"Oh~~~!" Victor raised his head proudly and said with a smile, "My salary is ten farka per week."
