"Extra! Extra! A big crime! The masked butcher comes to novigrie
The newsboy trotted down the street with the newspaper.
"One."
Li Nuo gave a copper plate. In fact, he didn't know if it was a copper plate. Anyway, newspapers should be very cheap.
"Sir, are you bullying me? I haven't read, five coppers."
Li Nuo added four, fifty cents a share is still the normal price.
Before I opened the inside page, I saw a big round head on the front page of the newspaper.
"Masked butcher, the number one culprit in recent vicious incidents, is wearing a strange mask, wearing a black old windbreaker, holding a whip with a blade. He is about five feet eight inches tall and thin. If you find any similar suspicious people, please contact the police station immediately. If the information is really useful, you will be rewarded with 100 grams."
Li Nuo sighed in his heart: "my intelligence can be worth the income of a well-off family for two months, which is quite expensive."
If he looked down again, there would be nothing left. There were only so many articles in the newspaper, and there was no record of all the good things he had done.
"Strange... Even if yesterday's incident in the brothel was not reported, even the incident of hesselton and Philip's family was not written down, so as not to cause panic..."
He had unconsciously admitted that he was a terrorist.
After reading the newspapers, almost all of them were trivial matters in the Empire of nefergad. Li Nuo didn't know anything about modern industry, magic and energy, so he thought he was reading novels in the style of cyberpunk.
Until he heard the sound of the horse's hooves approaching, Li Nuo reached for a taxi.
In this era, the coach can accommodate up to six people. The passengers tell where they want to go and charge according to the distance.
After getting on the bus, Li Nuo found that the men and women around him were looking at the newspaper. They were paying attention to the urban construction and the economic situation, but no one seemed to pay attention to the "masked butcher" on the front page.
Li Nuo put the newspaper on his head and complained in his heart. It seems that people in this era are tired enough.
……
"Why didn't the government publish the real appearance of the masked butcher as soon as possible?"
The blonde doss left today's newspaper on the table and questioned the old man sitting behind the table.
"Take it easy, Mr. Charles." The old man took a small mirror and looked at his face. From time to time, he left his mouth to look at the cracks between his teeth.
Doss took a deep breath. "Mr. Cohen, with all due respect, as one of the representatives of the church, it is necessary for you to take adequate precautions against such dangerous people as the masked butcher."
Cohen put down the mirror and raised his eyebrows. "You should understand that because of the particularity of the" happy house ", it is not convenient for the church to deal with it openly. The government and the nobles also need some necessary procedures to communicate, and the time consumption is inevitable."
"But I've told you what he looks like!" Doss said angrily.
"What do you look like?" Cohen said with a smile, "although your duty is to manage the order of the" happy house ", don't forget that you are just a guard. Your words are not convincing. The police station will only take your words as one of the testimonies. The government needs a complete chain of evidence to issue a wanted order that can be published in the newspaper. We need more direct evidence."
Doss said reluctantly: "two people disappeared after the accident at night. One attacked Mr. Hawthorne, and the other was the person who was with the attacker. Verne, the housekeeper of" happy house ", has described that the person who was with me was basically the same in appearance. Can't this be used as eyewitness evidence?"
"But it can't be evidence that he's a masked butcher." Cohen returned with no concern.
"There's another prostitute, she must know something!" Doss's brow began to wrinkle slightly, and his patience was approaching the critical point.
"Prostitute... Let me see. It's the woman named rezena." "The woman said she had an unforgettable night with her guests, but she was so tired that she went to sleep," Cohen said, pouting his lower lip
"She must be hiding something. The key is on her. How could the guest walk out of the room without the key?" Doss continued.
Cohen smiles and shakes his head. "But the room is not locked, and the woman has been punished. Don't forget that no prostitute in the joy house dares to lie, unless they want to feel like they can't die."
Doss hit the table angrily and said angrily, "don't be kidding! The target of mask butcher is female night devil, but why does he want to kill female night devil! And no one noticed the eye of the fellow guest, amber! Devil hunter
Cohen shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Mr. Charles, you're here again. According to what you said, the demon hunters who died out a hundred years ago, with the new walking stick weapon being developed by the church, came to novigrie to do such a big thing. How can it be possible?"
"But it's true!"
"Enough!"
Cohen stares at doss with sharp eyes, turns a peaceful attitude and says in a deep voice: "you are just a good outsider. Do your job well and don't cross the border."
Facing Cohen's attitude, doss clenched his teeth and suppressed his anxiety.
Cohen leaned on the back of his chair and said calmly, "Mr. Hawthorne has been attacked. The gangster will not stop there. The face of the masked butcher you described has been printed on the underground wanted notice. It is estimated that the news will be spread all over the South Street in the next two days. In three or five days, the news will spread all over novigeri. Just wait quietly. Go out first."
Doss picked up the newspaper on the desk and left, stifling his breath. He went outside and saw JOYA leaning against the wall.
"It seems that the negotiation failed."
Doss didn't speak and walked past her with emotion.
"The stolen property of Philip's house was found this morning," JOYA whispered
"What?" Doss looked back.
"There's a kid in a grocery store in the District of Florida, exchanging some expensive items for money. This grocery store happens to be a branch of Philip's business."
"Where's the kid?"
Qiao Ya shrugs, "let that kid take money to go first, already arranged a person to follow secretly, according to his dress, should be South Street Lane District."
Doss narrowed his eyes and looked up at the picture of the butcher in the newspaper mask in his hand
As he spoke, he piled up the newspaper and threw it out of the window.
The newspaper fell three floors and fell on the head of a hapless man who had just passed by.
"I really don't have public morality..."
Li Nuo felt his head. If it was a flowerpot, he would be miserable.
He looked at the window where the paper ball had fallen, and then at the words on the door of the building.
"Healing church talks about college."
All of a sudden, Li Nuo was inspired. Isn't this the healing church from the blood curse.
No, never have any contact with this game. I want to tell him to leave here immediately.
"If I had known, I would have let the carriage turn a corner and then stop. At least I didn't need to see such a dejected sign as healing church."
After abdominal Fei continued to walk for a few minutes, after crossing a street, Li Nuo found 27 Xianghua street and knocked on the door.
