Chapter 24 Dinner Invitation~~Ask for a monthly pass~)
There was a young man sitting in the car.
He was a young man with a slightly fancy coat, long hair shawl, and a handsome face, but the look in his eyes made Ada feel uncomfortable.
Like those felons who were pressed into a cage.
Depressing, yet crazy.
Facing such a person, the operator took a step back wisely and looked at the person with vigilant eyes.
"Don't worry, I'm not a bad person."
"I just saw you alone and wanted to ask if you wanted to take a ride."
"But, it seems, you don't need it."
As the other party said this, he rolled up the window and signaled the driver to drive.
Amid the roar of the motor, the car slowly drove away.
Looking at the car going away, the operator lady breathed a sigh of relief.
If the other party had insisted on letting her get in the car just now, she would have run back.
After all, the police station is not far away.
It's basically okay.
With this thought, the operator lady once again waited for the arrival of the public carriage.
And behind her, a hand suddenly stretched out from the darkness.
There was a handkerchief placed in the palm of the hand, which was placed directly on the operator's mouth.
"Woo, woo..."
The operator only struggled slightly and then lost consciousness.
The car that just left returned again.
I don't know when I got off the car, but the young man who appeared behind the operator with an excited smile threw the operator into the back seat of the car. Then, after slightly adjusting his coat, he got in this time.
"drive."
The other party ordered.
The car started again.
However, the driver behind the wheel said:
"Master, you promise me..."
"Shut up!"
"I know what I'm doing!"
"You don't have to worry about it!"
The driver was interrupted before he finished speaking.
After that, the driver remained silent.
The young man looked at the unconscious operator lady with a look of intoxication on his face.
hunting!
Keep hunting!
This feels great!
How could I stop!
The whole city will be my hunting ground!
The young man's face twisted unconsciously, looking ferocious.
…
Under the light.
A dining table appeared in the shop on the first floor of the 'Watchdog Pastry House'.
The door has long been closed.
The female pastry chef sat opposite, holding her hands and looking at Jason who couldn't wait to reach out and pick up a piece of walnut buns.
The walnut buns are soft and soft, and the crushed walnut kernels on top not only have no bitter taste, but also have a sweet taste.
It must have been taken care of in a special way.
"I boiled it with soup, stir-fried it, and then smashed it."
Seemingly sensing Jason's confusion, the female pastry chef explained.
Jason nodded, completely ignoring the answer.
His hand was so fast that it brought up waves of afterimages.
The twelve walnut buns were almost wiped out.
"water."
The female pastry chef handed over the water glass.
Added double the amount of mint and lemon.
The purpose is to relieve boredom.
Jason drank it all in one gulp.
Then, he picked up the egg tart on the side.
Click, click
The golden egg tart is crispy on the outside and makes a crisp sound when chewed. It is soft and waxy on the inside, and there are... apple crumbles.
The crispiness that should have faded appeared again.
The slightly sour feeling, instead of diluting the sweetness of the egg tart, actually makes the sweetness more obvious.
"I actually wanted to add some whipping cream and raisins."
"But today's pastries are sweet enough."
"Not only will the sweetness not appear, but it will become tasteless."
The female pastry chef said.
Can sourness reflect sweetness?
Jason silently wrote this down.
After Jason finished the last egg tart and drank a glass of double mint lemonade, the car lights outside the window flickered.
Belonging to Edward, Bansy's footsteps sounded.
Then, there was a knock on the door.
Boom, boom.
The female pastry chef walked over quickly and opened the door.
"Good evening, Ms. Guichelle."
"Good evening, Edward, Bansi."
After the two parties greeted each other, Edward looked at the man who fell on the ground and claimed to be the lobbyist.
After carefully examining the other party's appearance, the leader of the special operations team directly confirmed the other party's identity.
"Griffin!"
Edward said.
"You know him?"
The female pastry chef looked at Edward in surprise.
"Um."
"This guy is an information dealer and middleman. He resells some prohibited and non-prohibited things. He is also a well-known figure in Xinde City."
"As long as it's about making money, he does it."
"However, it won't be too much."
"Even if you are caught, you will be detained for a few months or even fined."
Edward introduced the other party.
Then, he looked at Jason.
"He calls himself a lobbyist?"
"The bastard who caused the serial disappearance of women hired him to convince you?"
The leader of the special operations team asked confirmingly.
Jason nodded.
And just after Jason nodded, Edward grabbed the other person's hair and pulled him outside.
Jason, the female pastry chef looked at Bansi who was also gritting his teeth in confusion.
"The racecourse keeper is dead."
"The 'Ink' who interrogated the other party together is also dead."
"If it hadn't been for Ms. Giselle's call to call the captain out, the captain would also..."
The words were not finished, but the meaning was clear enough.
The female pastry chef covered her mouth and stared wide-eyed.
She never thought that something like this would happen at the Xinde City Police Station.
Jason thought of the dead Sendak.
Has the situation gotten that bad?
About five minutes later, Edward came back dragging Griffin with a bruised nose and face.
Even with a bruised nose and a swollen face, Griffin's eyes were still confused.
yes.
Of course he must be confused.
He was willing to lead the way.
But he was knocked unconscious directly.
Then, he was beaten awake again.
If he was knocked unconscious too quickly and he didn't feel any pain, then he was punched and kicked all over his face, but it really hurt.
He wanted to resist.
Can……
He can't beat Edward.
Instead, he was severely beaten by Edward's military fighting skills.
This made Griffin instantly understand that if he didn't resist, he would be beaten.
If you resist, even if you are not beaten to death, you will be disabled afterwards.
Under the illumination of the light, Griffin tried his best to widen his swollen eyes, cracked his purple mouth, and showed a smile.
But under the swelling, the widened eyes were just a slit.
The purple corners of his mouth were grinning and baring his teeth.
Griffin couldn't help but cover his mouth.
"Gentlemen, what do you need?"
"As long as it can be done, I will definitely do it."
"But...does it cost money?"
Griffin, who covered his mouth, insisted on his bottom line.
"Who's that bastard?"
Edward asked.
He didn't interrogate him before because he thought Jason had the right to know.
Upon hearing this question, Griffin answered without hesitation.
"Senator David."
"What?!"
Edward, Bansi, and the female pastry chef all exclaimed.
Seeing this long-awaited scene, Griffin was extremely satisfied.
He has waited for this moment for too long.
only……
Why isn't Jason surprised at all?
He already knows?
While Griffin was still thinking, he saw Jason stand up.
"What are you doing? Don't you know Senator David's name?"
Griffin said cautiously.
He wanted to save some face, but was afraid of irritating Jason, so he spoke very carefully.
