Edward frowned slightly and turned around again, with questioning eyes.
"In the park in the middle of the street, two people asked me for pastries from the 'Watch Dog Pastry House'."
"They're not here for pastries."
"But attack people."
Facing Edward, Jason said directly.
"So, this is the reason why you are here?"
"Repay a favor?"
“Plus checkout?”
Edward, the deputy director, took two steps back and stopped about one meter away from Jason.
As if he felt Jason was playing with him,
Edward asked back while glaring at Jason.
Suddenly, those sharp eyes made people's hearts tremble even more.
Jason was not affected in any way.
Although the opponent's eyes are sharp, they are far behind compared to the 'piper'.
Even worse than the 'Shepherd' puppet.
In Jason's opinion, the danger level of the other party is about... only equivalent to 2-3 'Laughers'.
It's a bit troublesome to deal with.
But it won't be fatal.
Jason pointed to the cart he placed in the corner of the store.
"And buying food."
Jason said this.
The bag of rice cakes hung on his trolley.
After Edward glanced at it, he continued to ask:
"Where are those two people?"
"Trash should naturally go to the place where garbage belongs."
Jason answered.
"What else?"
Edward waved to a subordinate, and when the subordinate went to investigate, he turned around and continued to ask.
"besides……"
"Her sister is missing."
"Like those girls, missing."
Jason pointed at the female pastry chef.
"Ms. Gichel has reported the case and we are actively handling it."
"I will also arrange for manpower to secretly protect Ms. Gichel."
"If you are willing to go back to the veterans hospital, I can also help."
Edward answered.
Jason didn't speak again.
Veterans hospital?
He didn't have time to rest.
Facing the silent Jason, Edward turned around again and walked out.
However, this time, when Edward walked to the door, he took the initiative to stop and turned to look at Jason.
When he saw that Jason remained silent, the newly appointed 'Special Deputy Director' finally left in the true sense.
Jason watched the other party leave.
After the vintage car disappears around the corner.
Jason couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.
The other party is fishing!
Use him and Gichel as bait!
Obviously, the shooting that just occurred was related to a soldier, and he happened to be a retired veteran.
Under normal circumstances, as long as his identity as a retired veteran is confirmed, any police sergeant or investigator will conduct an in-depth investigation into the situation just now.
Bringing him back is just basic.
But what about the other party?
Recruit the team directly.
There's nothing fishy here, Jason doesn't believe it.
Therefore, he further tested the other party.
Start with ‘compensation’ and then tell the other party about the park in the middle of the street.
The purpose is to bring out the "Case of Serial Disappearance of Women" published in the newspaper.
Gichel's sister was one of the missing persons, and Gichel was threatened again and again. No matter how you look at it, it must be related to this case that shocked the entire German city.
You must know that the "Case of Serial Disappearance of Women" was not only published in newspapers on October 20, but is still reported in newspapers today.
Still in the form of front page headlines.
With such a premise, would normal people relax their vigilance?
Or to be more precise, would normal people just arrange for two people to watch secretly?
No.
Because, the easiest way is to enter the 'safe house' and protect it thoroughly, rather than leaving it outside and letting danger come.
Apart from using it as bait, Jason couldn't think of anything else.
Therefore, everything becomes clear before our eyes.
He was used as bait to catch the murderer of the "shooting case".
Gichel was used as bait to catch the murderer of the "Women's Serial Disappearance Case".
However, what Jason still cares about is——
Are the shooting that just happened and the several missing women cases independent? Or are they somehow connected?
Standing at the door, Jason thought quietly for a moment.
Finally, he shook his head.
There are too few clues to be sure.
Turning around, Jason walked towards the store.
Looking at Jason walking back, Gichel breathed a sigh of relief again.
She was so worried that Jason would just leave.
After all, the crisis has passed, and she has no reason to keep Jason.
However, she was very scared to leave her here alone.
In the midst of confusion, Jason walked back.
This made the female pastry chef's face appear with a smile involuntarily.
Looking at the relieved smile of the female pastry chef, Jason said calmly: "You promised me to make new pastries."
How could he leave before eating new cakes?
No one can stop him from looking forward to food.
Even if it's dangerous to stay here.
but,
The greatest danger is nothing but death.
exactly.
He is immortal.
Touching his empty stomach, Jason said:
"I'll clean up here."
"You go to the oven."
After saying that, Jason carefully picked up the pastry that fell on the ground, blew off the dust and glass shards on it, and carefully placed it on the dinner plate.
The mess in front of me was all caused by the deceased Sheriff Thorndike's subordinates.
While running in panic, they broke through more than one counter.
Not only did the cakes on the counter fall to the floor, but glass shards also fell to the floor.
The only good thing is that because of the glass shards on the ground, these people deliberately avoided this place when they were writhing in pain, so that the cakes were not stained with blood.
All the pastries were picked up.
Although Jason was careful, some damage was inevitable.
Several pastries were not in good shape and obviously could not be sold.
So, Jason ‘reported the damage’.
Creamy, nice.
Filled chocolate, yes.
Strawberry flavor?
Thumbs up.
The sweet taste filled the tip of Jason's tongue. Although he was not full, Jason still felt comfortable.
As for satisfaction?
That's impossible.
Before eating real food, Jason's stomach would never be satisfied.
Even if you eat it.
That also requires high quality and large quantity.
But the enjoyment of his taste buds put Jason in a good mood. After packing up the sawdust and glass residue on the ground, he walked towards the trash can opposite the 'Watch Dog Pastry House'.
However, before Jason could really get close to the trash can, Jason's footsteps stopped.
A faint smell penetrated his nose.
It's a smell that Jason is very familiar with.
Blood!
The smell of human blood!
Under Jason's gaze, a dazzling red color slowly overflowed from the trash can.
Putting down the garbage in his hands for the time being, Jason returned to the pastry shop and said to the female pastry chef:
