Anna's statement did not make Anpu feel much better, but he also knew very well that he was not on this front, so he didn't know much about the things inside, and he quickly shut up and stopped discussing this. anything related.
The car kept moving forward, and after a while Anna asked: "Why were you caught by them? I remember that you didn't assign any tasks to you during your vacation. As long as you don't go to some military restricted areas or get close to some important people, There’s no way the other party will find you!”
Anpu grinned silently, "I drank some wine, my wallet was stolen, and then I said the wrong thing." He rubbed his hair that had been washed on the boat and sighed, "This is It’s my fault, I won’t drink anymore.”
Ana responded without speaking. After a while, she spoke again, "Do you think this matter has anything to do with Mr. Tuckers? Could it be that he suspected your identity and then reported you to the police?" Police station?"
Anpu shook his head, "He doesn't know my true identity, and we get along very happily, so he should have no problem. But there are actually benefits after this incident. At least I have an excuse to remove Mr. Tucker from the Federation." Please come back. As long as he returns to the empire, we will have a way for him to meet Du Lin, or arrange some other tasks to let him take the initiative to discover something, and then cooperate with us to capture Du Lin."
"By the way, I remember you said you were going to visit Dulin's hometown. Have you gone?" Anna nodded, and An suddenly became interested. "Have you made any important discoveries?"
"No!" Anna, who only had half of her face left, had a not-so-good expression. "I didn't see anyone I knew. Maybe it's because their appearance has changed over time, and some people have been wearing masks before. , I have never seen their true faces. After the next mission is over, I plan to go to the Turnel Regional Police Station to check the files. There should be some past information there, before their appearance changed. information."
Anna's trip to Alfalfa Town can be said to be a huge failure. She did not find any key things to determine whether the original members of the Bloody Dawn organization lived there. On the contrary, it might alert the snake. She can only hope that these people are old. As I get older, I am no longer as responsive as I used to be. The only thing that made her feel that there was a problem in Alfalfa Town was the heavy firepower that had appeared next to Du Lin.
She was too familiar with that gun. It was the weapon of Layton, the most powerful sharpshooter in the organization, and came from the collection of a duke. Of course, Anna had not seen with her own eyes who around Dulin was using that gun, but she had a feeling, a sixth sense belonging to a woman, that the traces of heavy weapons used at some crime scenes must be that gun. Gun no doubt.
Currently, there are no heavy weapons in the empire's standard weapons that can be used by a single person, and at least a weapon base is needed to be effective. In her entire life's memory, only the dragon-hunting gun can be carried around, and it causes Damage like a heavy weapon.
That gun is not an antique. It is actually a modern work, but the drawings come from the Origin Era. A manuscript was also discovered along with the drawing. The manuscript described the reasons and process of the creation of the design in Genesis text. There should indeed be creatures like "dragons" in the world at that time, and this drawing and this gun were designed to eliminate the dragon at the top of the food chain.
Just because the original craftsmanship and metallurgical level could not meet the demand for manufacturing dragon hunting guns, no similar weapons have been found in the known ruins. This blueprint finally fell into the hands of the Duke. The Duke thought this weapon was very interesting, so he spent about 17 million gold coins to collect enough materials and modified some of the data on the original design. , that’s why we have this gun now.
The gun is definitely an important clue, and it's why Anna breaks Anpu out of jail. Not only does she need An Pu's smart mind, but also because this matter has an unclear relationship with Du Lin, so she hopes that if An Pu has the opportunity to send Du Lin to the gallows, it is very likely that the original bloody The soul of Dawn appears again.
Catching that guy has always been Anna's biggest desire. If she didn't catch the person who took off half of her face, she would never sleep peacefully in her life. The tearing pain on her face and the feeling like gnawing by ants It will always haunt her, even if she goes to hell after death, she must find that person!
The silent car quickly disappeared into the crowded traffic, unable to attract anyone's attention.
On the other side, District 8 had just started its overall operation, and two filming teams had already entered District 8 to start shooting snow scenes. This made many local middle-class people in Ilian breathe a sigh of relief. Obviously, the tourism industry seems to have gone downhill unlike what people speculated, but if the Eighth District can operate normally as the city hall said, it will be enough to make up for the pressure brought by the sluggish tourism market before the winter break.
"Want to borrow my manor?" Du Lin answered the phone in a daze. Carter transferred two young girls and six boys from the hometown association to follow Du Lin's instructions. The call came in from outside. When someone suddenly told Dulin that they wanted to rent his manor, Dulin really couldn't react. "No, I'm sorry, my manor is not for rent or sale.", after saying that He hung up the phone.
When he got up, he glanced at the wall clock on the wall. It was already past ten o'clock. He patted his forehead and turned around and got out of bed. After taking a hot shower, he changed into new clothes and then hurried downstairs. He and Albert made an appointment to meet at nine o'clock this morning, but they have missed it by more than an hour. This is so rude.
Fortunately, after he went downstairs, he saw Albert sitting in the living room, watching TV boredly. When he heard footsteps, he stood up immediately. Dulin stood halfway up the stairs and waved to him, "Come to my study. Come and talk.”
After the two entered the study, Dulin asked a girl to bring them some pastries and lighter tea and closed the door. This time, it was because of the Chinese New Year that Albert was able to come back from the Federation. He usually lived in The Federation is busy with Dulin's big plan. At this time, Albert had a more noble temperament than the salesman who sold to him every morning. The elegant formal attire and qualified accessories make him look like a big shot in upper class society, no longer an inconspicuous salesman.
"Looks like you're living a good life there!" Dulin picked up a piece of dried meat touched with honey and stuffed it into his mouth. In the past, this was a delicacy that only nobles could enjoy. Those cooks cut the beef into thin slices and then marinate it with spices for a period of time, dry it naturally and then bake it. When eating, they spread a layer of honey on it and it tastes great.
Albert's expression was a little excited, and he kept shaking his head, "Boss, if it weren't for you, I would still be just a salesman. I am very lucky to get to know you, and thank you very much for giving me this opportunity!"
Du Lin smiled and said, "Success will not favor lazy people. It is precisely because you appear in front of me on time every morning, so your efforts touch me. I didn't give you the opportunity, you earned it yourself." Opportunity… Okay, no need to flatter each other anymore, tell me something that interests me.”
Albert was assigned a very important task by Dulin. He was the second "outsider" to enter Dulin's inner circle after the bastard lawyer. The reason why he was used was that in addition to being easy to control, he also had Be smart enough to know what is yours and what is not yours. Of course, trust is a very cheap thing, so outside of Albert and his team, there are more people who carry out Dulin's plan according to Dulin's requirements without knowing each other, and even monitor these people. .
Albert sorted out his mood, and then told Dulin the results of his work during this period, "Everything went very smoothly. We easily completed the first step you asked. The federal people are very concerned about capital and media. The recognition is much higher than that of the empire. Everyone believes what the rich say. Even if the rich say that shit can be eaten or it is sweet, there may be people who actually eat shit. Therefore, we have encountered almost no obstacles. The city hall and people from all walks of life also welcomed our arrival. ”
"In the first month, I spent almost every day socializing. They were afraid that I would look down on their city. Their mayor even came to chat with me in person and told me the benefits that would be brought to us if I settled there. , including policy and financial support... "
"You are also chatting with a mayor now!" Dulin handed him a cigarette and waved his hand when he was so shocked that he didn't know what to say, "Okay, keep talking. ,I am very interested."
This conversation lasted from about ten o'clock until two o'clock in the afternoon. On the way, the girl came to ask twice if she wanted to have a meal, but Du Lin refused. There was nothing more important than Albert's more detailed news. Dinner Can only be ranked last.
Albert finally breathed a sigh of relief after saying everything he needed to say. In fact, he still had many questions in his heart, but he knew his "identity" and could be confused. But when Dulin didn't mention this matter first, He couldn't ask.
Many people die every day in this world because they know too much inside information that they shouldn't know, and he doesn't want to be the next one.
After encouraging Albert and promising him some benefits, Dulin asked him to go back. It was not suitable for him to disappear for too long now. After all, he was considered a successful person.
After sending Albert away, Dulin had someone book a ticket back to Otis City. He didn't want to stagger on the sea anymore.
