As a secret police detective, the work can be complex at the same time and simple at the same time.
Of course, for a person like Matthew who can eat well, it is extremely simple.
"Hey, Matthew."
A strong man who looked well-dressed but had a sinister look on his face, and his suit was about to burst, handed Matthew a bottle of packaged wine.
Of course, the packaging kraft paper bag is much larger than the size of the wine bottle itself.
Matthew held it in his hand and weighed it, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Thanks, Carl."
Matthew said, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over.
Looking at the cigarettes handed to him, the strong man named Karl also had a smile on his face.
It seems that Matthew is very satisfied.
Then, they don't have to worry about it for the next month.
As the boss of several groups of "gold fingers" in the South District and the dock area, Karl was slightly relieved. The "gold fingers" were not "professional" gold fingers, but those who were petty thieves.
Carl has been operating in the South District and Dockside area for almost ten years.
It was difficult at first.
His subordinates were either arrested, or they were arrested along with the goods when selling the stolen goods.
Everything didn't get better until Matthew showed up.
If you want to gain, you must give.
Karl knew this truth very well, so meeting with Matthew every month became inevitable.
"Matthew, what happened to that 'bloody hunter'?"
Squatting deep in the alley, Karl smoked a cigarette and glanced at his men standing at the entrance of the alley. When he confirmed that there were no outsiders, he asked.
Today everyone is discussing the ‘Bloody Hunter’, the ‘Mysterious Side’, ordinary people, and the ‘Gray Zone’ is no exception.
"A terrible person."
"So many things have happened."
"Recently, ask your people to be careful and not to provoke a lone person or a combination of two people, especially if you find that one of them is a bit stupid and looks like a fat sheep."
"besides……"
"Don't cooperate with those who are looking for this 'blood hunter'."
"Whether it's an acquaintance or a stranger."
Matthew said seriously.
"I understand."
“Some things you can participate in, and some things you cannot participate in.”
"In a few months, I will be ready to retire."
Carl smiled and nodded.
"Has the heir been found?"
Matthew was not surprised.
Carr hinted a year ago that he was retiring.
The reason why he delayed for another year was just to make his 'retirement' more generous. As far as Matthew knew, the Carl in front of him had at least five houses in Terte, including two shops.
Such wealth, placed in West Walker, is already considered to be mid-range.
After all, Terte is the capital of West Walker, and housing prices have always been expensive.
Based on this premise, Carl can live a prosperous life after retirement.
But, people.
Always thinking about ‘more’.
Matthew understood this very well.
Therefore, over the past year, there has been no excessive push for ‘commissions’.
"Find it."
"That boy Sphinx is smart, knows the rules, and has good skills. He also completed the 'supernormal baptism' last week. He can definitely inherit my position and there will be no trouble."
Carl replied.
"That's good."
Matthew nodded.
It doesn't matter who is Karl's successor, what matters is that there will be no trouble.
The reason why Matthew cooperates with Carl is that in addition to the monthly 'commission', the stability of the street is also one of the important purposes.
After dusting himself off, Matthew stood up and walked out of the alley.
Meeting with Karl every month does not require any in-depth talks.
Just take the 'commission' and tell some news.
If there are special matters, additional notice will naturally be given.
As for talking a little longer?
If I really wanted to talk for a while, I wouldn't choose this place.
Carl watched Matthew leave.
Then, he also led people out of the alley.
Behind Karl and his group, Matthew stood in the shadows on the other side and followed quietly.
As a 'big thief', the reason why Matthew has been able to live freely until now is that he must be careful and cautious at all times.
Especially at this critical moment.
Although the cooperation with Karl has lasted ten years, the two parties are still cooperative.
Have to be careful.
Facts have proved that such precautions are necessary.
Karl met several bosses in the next few hours.
They are all bosses in the South District and the Dock District.
Every field involved is different.
But they all have a considerable number of subordinates.
What Karl wants to do is naturally self-evident.
"A total of 20,000 gold grams, a 'Herc Silver Grade Magic Potion', and 100ml of 'Dragon Blood' are enough to make these people excited!"
Matthew sighed.
He understood people like Karl very well. They had obviously come into contact with the 'mysterious side', but they were unable to truly integrate into it. The feeling was definitely not ordinary and uncomfortable.
Therefore, if possible, it is natural to try to obtain a ‘career’.
only……
Greed will be accompanied by death!
Matthew shook his head and didn't think more about it.
He has already reminded me.
more?
It's not something he can control.
I don't want to care either.
after all……
The 'bloody hunter' is at his house.
When he thought of this, Matthew felt his temples swell.
trouble!
Danger!
But what can he do?
At this time, Matthew's experience tells Matthew that it is best not to do anything, otherwise, it will be counterproductive.
With that in mind, Matthew walked towards No. 112 Zhengli Shu Street.
However, as soon as he reached the street entrance, Matthew was stunned.
Because, he saw someone who shouldn't be here at all.
Leadmoor!
A name he would never dare to forget.
Because, the other party is the fifth-level ‘professional’ who served as security in the ‘One Hundred Thousand Gold Gram Robbery’: the fifth-level ‘knight’ ‘defender’!
Looking at the opponent's burly body, which still looked majestic even after taking off his armor, Matthew's whole body trembled. He resisted the urge to turn around and run away, and tried his best to show his face in a calm and similar manner to the one just now.
Go forward.
And Lidmoor also saw Matthew.
Leadmore, who was standing there, walked straight towards Matthew.
Even though Matthew told himself to calm down, his heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate and his body became stiff.
"I won't be discovered, right?"
Matthew thought to himself.
At this time, Lidmoor had already arrived in front of Matthew.
"Matthew?"
Lidmuel lowered his head, and the stubble on his chest was like a steel nail poking into the clothes on his chest, causing the skirt of his clothes to make a swishing sound. Although he lowered his head, there was absolutely no condescending gesture. On the contrary,
The middle-aged knight showed a hearty and kind smile.
After seeing this smile, Matthew felt certain in his heart.
"you are?"
He asked following the words.
"Leedmoor, a wandering knight."
"I have something I want to see Mr. Jason. If possible, please convey it to me."
"Grateful."
The middle-aged knight said politely.
Matthew, who had just stabilized his mind, was once again shaken.
How did the other party know that Jason was here?
Where was the flaw?
Thinking in his heart, Matthew nodded blankly.
"good."
"I will wait for you here. Whether Mr. Jason wants to see me or not, please tell me the answer. Please."
The middle-aged knight showed an apologetic smile.
"It's not troublesome! It's not troublesome!"
"I'll tell you the answer soon!"
Matthew quickened his pace.
As I move forward, I think.
However, Lidmoor's appearance made it impossible for him to calm down.
Thinking has no results at all.
Until he returned to his room and looked at Taniel and Rodney in the living room. After telling them such news, they both looked surprised.
"What?"
"Discovered?"
"You weren't the one who snitched, were you?"
Rodney stood up and began to doubt Matthew.
At this, Matthew rolled his eyes.
If he had snitched, he would not have chosen Leadmore.
"I'm going to ask Jason."
Tanier was more direct and walked straight towards the basement.
As soon as he entered the basement and before he got close to the secret room, Taniel heard the sound of "waves".
That's right, it's the sound of waves.
The sound of waves crashing against the rocks as the rivers, lakes and seas flow.
Taniel has been to the beach, more than once.
Therefore, I am very familiar with the sound of such waves.
But immediately, the sound of the waves disappeared, as if everything was an illusion.
Taniel blinked and looked at the door to the secret room, which was hidden behind a pile of clutter and shelves.
His intuition told him that the sound of waves was related to his friend Jason.
Bypass clutter piles and shelves.
Taniel glanced at the messily arranged supplies, including but not limited to dried meat, medical supplies, lighting tools and some small tools for daily life. He resisted the desire to organize them and raised his hand to tap on the wall.
Boom, boom!
With a slightly dull sound, the wall moved to the side silently.
Jason appeared behind the door.
"Someone wants to see me?"
As soon as he opened the door, Jason asked directly.
Taniel was stunned.
"you know?"
The teacher from Deer Academy and the second advisor of Lord Police Department looked surprised.
"You don't really think that we can really disappear completely, do you?"
"Now that Rodney has been 'exposed', the safe house found through him cannot truly be hidden from people who are willing and capable!"
"For us, it's just a matter of keeping out those complicated and unimportant people."
Jason explained.
"What about us now?"
Taniel still doesn't understand.
"Who's coming?"
Jason didn't answer the question.
"Yes, Leadmore!"
"The fifth-level 'knight' from the previous 'One Hundred Thousand Gold Robbery'."
Taniel replied.
"'knight'?!"
Jason frowned.
This is somewhat inconsistent with his guess.
He left some clues in order to find some people who were 'capable' of cooperating and 'sane' who could clearly see the 'situation' in front of them.
But what he didn't expect was that the first batch of people to appear would be the 'knights'.
They are not those knights who are loyal to the "king" and "nobles".
It's like a free 'knight'.
Somewhat like...
Old Sir!
When Jason thought of this, he didn't think anything more and walked straight towards the ground.
About ten minutes later, Lidmoor entered No. 112 Li Shujie.
When Lidmoor walked into the reception room, Taniel and Rodney walked to the small tea room on the other side very wisely. Matthew simply left the room and walked into the courtyard to face Lidmuir.
Muir, Matthew doesn't want to stay for a moment.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Jason."
Leadmore greeted politely.
"good afternoon."
As the 'master', Jason pushed the cup filled with tea over.
"Thanks."
Lidmoor, the wandering knight, picked up the tea and drank it without any inspection. After drinking it, he said directly: "Mr. Jason, I represent some partners and hope to cooperate with you."
"cooperate?"
"Is it appropriate to find me now?"
Jason expressed his doubts appropriately.
"Mr. Jason, we know that you were wrongly accused. You were not the one who assassinated Siwok VII, and you were not the one who caused the subsequent murders. We are absolutely sure of this."
Lidmoor said with certainty.
"So sure?"
"Do you know the real murderer?"
Jason tried.
What Jason didn't expect was that in the face of such temptation, Leadmore would speak out.
"Know."
"Prince Shwetai."
Lidmoor's straightforwardness made Jason frown again.
This kind of simplicity has long gone beyond the scope of strangers.
No!
Even an acquaintance would not trust me like this!
That’s right!
It’s trust!
The kind of trust that can only emerge after experiencing enough things.
As if seeing Jason's doubts, Lidmoor laughed.
"Beta trusts you."
"So, we trust you."
Beta?
Old Sir?!
Jason's frown did not relax, and Lidmoor took out a small notebook from his arms.
"When Beta died, it appeared in the 'camp'."
“We think this is Beta’s ‘heritage’!”
"And it?"
"You should inherit it."
After speaking, Lidmoor placed the small book in front of Jason.
Looking at the book that was not much different from the 'Night Watchman's Certificate', Jason already knew it.
However, this made him even more confused.
You know, he announced to the outside world that he is a fifth-level knight.
"The 'Night Watch' has its own rules and special heritage, and the 'Knight' is naturally no exception."
"However, we believe that you, who have inherited Beta's 'faith', will become a good 'knight'."
"So, we will recognize your identity as a fifth-level 'knight' to the outside world."
"Of course, the rest is up to you."
Lidmoor said with a smile.
“What do I have to give?”
Jason asked.
There is a give-and-take, and Jason has long been accustomed to this trading method.
Lidmoor looked at Jason and shook his head slightly.
"Nothing is needed."
"Just because you are the heir of Beta."
"Furthermore, you are willing to see me. This is the opportunity and result of everything."
"Stay here for now, everything will be over in a week."
"We will clear up your grievances!"
After saying that, Lidmoor stood up, gave Jason a knight's salute, and then turned around and left No. 112 Main Pear Street.
Jason looked at the other person's back as he disappeared behind the door.
After thinking for a moment, he raised his hand and picked up the notebook on the table.
