"I have to excuse you gentlemen, can you lend me your friend?"
The door of the tavern was open, and the dusty wind from the sandy road swept in. The drinkers near the door covered their mouths and noses with their hats.
The guy standing there had a dusty face written all over his face. His long windbreaker had been frayed to the point of having seams everywhere. Under the cowboy hat that was also badly worn was a shaggy face.
"Who are you? Also, this guy is not our friend."
The farmers surrounding Kino all pointed their attention at the escort at the door, but when they spotted the two muskets on his waist, their expressions immediately changed.
"What do you want to do?" someone asked.
The escort stepped in. The aura on his body was very calm, with a faint murderous aura, which made many people in the tavern feel uncomfortable. The teller behind the bar had already buried his body.
"Nothing, I just said, let this young man use it for a while..."
"He owes us money!"
"I only see that you want to use strong methods to recover the losses on the gambling table."
……
Although there are many farmers, they are not gunmen who lick blood with their swords. A dozen of them don’t have a gun in their hands.
They were frightened by the aura of this uninvited guest, and they were unreasonable. After being stunned for a long time, their attitude finally softened.
Someone slipped aside, and the only remaining ones who insisted on settling the score with Kino lost their confidence. They clamored to find the sheriff, and finally scattered away, no longer daring to stop the escort.
Kino was lucky enough to escape the siege and quickly collected the banknotes and coins on the table.
"Adolph Drake..." The escort sat down on the gambling table and introduced himself to the other party.
"Um... Mr. Adolf, thank you for your rescue, but I am short of money now, and I will definitely repay you in the future..."
Kino didn't realize how nonsense he was saying this.
Adolf glanced at the gambling money on the table and sneered: "Mr. Kino, I didn't save you for free, but I don't want your money either, but I want you to work for me."
Kino paused with his busy hands and looked at the other person in confusion: "Do you know who I am?"
"Not only do I know who you are..." Adolf put his hand on the other person's shoulder, "I also know what you are..."
Um...
Kino's heart skipped a beat, and a strong unpleasant feeling filled his whole body.
"Take all the money you won!" Adolf glanced out the window, "We have to leave quickly before the Sheriff comes to trouble us..."
……
This episode is just a small episode that happened in the east, but in Renekton, someone has been having trouble sleeping and eating for several days.
In the Sanjiangfeng mansion, Dilio's efficiency at the police station is simply unacceptable.
When his family's finances were stolen, he immediately went to the police station to report the crime, but the other party never caught the culprit, and they didn't even pay attention to such ordinary theft cases.
To this end, he invited a certain police chief to his home to ask him about the progress of the case.
Dilio was a little angry when he learned that the police department had no clue.
"That is my brother's relic. It is not an ordinary property. It is very important to me. I hope you can understand." Dilio tried his best to remind the other party.
The Sheriff shrugged and replied helplessly: "I understand you, Mr. Dilio, but from our point of view, it is really just a stolen item. Your servant lost the prisoner at that time.
We don’t even know the direction in which the other party is escaping. Judging from the clues provided so far, trying to catch him is like looking for a needle in a haystack. By the way, I would like to remind you that Renekton’s current population has reached three million people, or even more.
..."
When Dilio heard this, his face became even more ugly.
"But it's impossible to just let him go. Mr. Sheriff, if you can catch that guy and get my things back, I will pay you, but the premise is that you can't check the stolen items without authorization."
Hearing this, the police chief waved his hand hurriedly: "Are you trying to bribe me?"
"Of course not, I hope to be friends with you."
The police chief frowned. After thinking for a while, he then asked: "Don't you have any suspicion in your mind? The other party just sneaked into your house and took away your brother's belongings..."
When Dilio heard this, his expression paused, and he seemed to have thought of something in his mind.
Things were so weird that day. The unexpected situation at the door disrupted Dilio's thinking. He had not carefully considered the possibility behind the theft.
"Otherwise, I can recommend a private detective to you. He is very good at this kind of case." Mr. Sheriff lit a cigar and started smoking.
"Private detective?" Dilio looked at the other party in confusion.
"Yes! The police station will not allocate too many people to investigate theft cases with very few clues. If you are willing to spend the reward on a private detective, you will definitely get better services." The police chief's face was in the smoke.
Faintly visible.
Dilio thought for a while, and finally agreed, taking a handwritten address from the other party's hand.
Later, Di Leo arranged for a domestic servant to give him the address and asked him to ask the private detective to come to the house.
After waiting for most of the day, the deacon finally invited a young man to the door of the Sanjiaofeng mansion.
The police chief seemed to be quite familiar with the young detective. After the other party entered the door, he took the initiative to introduce both parties.
"This is Mr. de Gaulle Chaclo of the Eye Detective Agency. Mr. de Gaulle, the person sitting in front of you is the owner of this mansion and your employer, Mr. Dilio Konova." p>
After the introduction, Dilio leaned against the cushioned sofa and kept looking at De Gaulle.
The other party was wearing a long coat with a short plaid cape and a deerstalker hat. His hair was a little messy, and the buttons on his coat were misplaced. He was obviously the kind of guy who didn't pay attention to his image and had a sloppy private life.
The first impression was not good, and Dilio was very disappointed with the young man introduced by the police chief.
"Mr. de Gaulle used to work in the police station, and then worked as a private detective after leaving his job. He helped us solve many complex cases. You can trust him." Not allowing Di Leo to complain, the police chief was the first to brag about de Gaulle. p>
Dilio's face was tangled. He glanced at the two of them, and finally, with the mentality of giving it a try, he informed de Gaulle of the details of the commission.
De Gaulle also smoked a small pipe. As soon as he listened to Dilio's retelling, he replied easily: "Mr. Dilio, this case is not complicated. It is very simple to catch the criminal."
As soon as he said these words, Dilio's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked: "Please tell me in detail."
De Gaulle shook off the ashes of his cigarette and quickly answered: "Since you said it, the other party sneaked into your home through a traffic accident at the entrance of the mansion. This proves that the accident was definitely not an accident, but a long-planned performance."
"The second clue is that there were several servants in your house watching him at that time. The time he had to commit the crime must have been quite tight. He had to steal something hidden in the secret compartment under the bed in such a short period of time.
, if I hadn’t figured out the layout of your home a long time ago, there would be no way I could do it.”
"So first of all, you should think carefully about who knows the layout of this house..."
