"No, the knife did not hurt the internal organs. We have already sent him to the hospital. This man is very lucky. He has just enough money to see a doctor. The consultation fee at Nolan Fifth Public Hospital is not cheap."
Jenkins and Pop were allowed to leave after only a few questions, no one searched them, and no one wanted to know why they were there so early in the morning.
"Papa also has connections in the police station? Oh, yes, you are a consultant."
Pushing open the store door and flipping the cardboard at the door to the "open" side, Jenkins asked.
"You'll never guess how powerful Dad is. Also, it's not surprising that there are people from the Orthodox Church in the police department. Today's luck is not bad. We went out together, but we just met a person with little relationship. Homicide, we are too nervous to go out with so many things. Come with me to the warehouse at the back and put the goods that came in yesterday. I have a hunch that a big deal will be made today! "
Dad walked towards the back excitedly, but Jenkins thought of something.
Earlier this week, he cursed two people who tried to scam in an antique shop with [Curse of Disease]. Although the curse was destroyed in just one night, the cursed two should be haunted by the flu for a while.
The Robert Kumbu who was attacked just now was obviously not the two he had seen, because the size and appearance were very different, and all three were ordinary people. But it's a coincidence that they're both scammers and they both have the flu
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and Jenkins decided to make sure.
Dad's guess about luck unexpectedly came true. The batch of antiques he bought that imitated the ancient Hikari Kingdom 300 years ago actually met a big buyer. The buyer was an old man dressed as a housekeeper with a white wig on his bald head.
His master, Viscount Augustus, needed a batch of antiques to decorate his manor, so he bought all the new goods from his father in one go.
It was the biggest deal Jenkins had seen since becoming an apprentice at an antique shop. Mr. Butler has an extraordinary skill, and his method of negotiating the price is also extraordinary.
But even though he took off his white gloves and talked with his father all morning, he still bought the goods at more than twice the purchase price.
Based on Jenkins' understanding of the industry, the normal transaction price of this batch of goods is almost the same. This is really a profitable industry.
In the evening, after a day's work, Jenkins went home to appease the irritable cat, and then brought it to Stillwell Yard. The police officer also knew Jenkins and took him to Sergeant Blake quickly. After hearing about Jenkins' intention to come, the sheriff did not deliberately embarrass him, and told him the hospital address of the injured Robert Kumbu in the attack.
Of course, this is because Jenkins "accidentally" picked up the 5 pound note that Sheriff Black dropped on the ground, and it is definitely not a bribe.
The familiar Fifth Public Hospital of Nolan City, the evil spirit incident did not have a great impact on this place, and even the female corpse that was found was not known to the public.
It was easy to find the ward shared by five people. Kumbu, who was still in a coma, was guarded by a new police officer and two auxiliary police officers. Because the murder happened at a densely populated intersection, it would definitely appear in the Nolan Daily the next day, so Stilwell Field would not allow this person to have problems at this time.
Since the target was still unconscious, Jenkins didn't bother to strike up a conversation with the three police officers. He waited for a while at the door of the ward, stopped a passing doctor, and was allowed to look at the hospital records for 3 shillings.
There are only names and symptoms of the injured on it, and there is no record of having a cold or the like. But that's okay, the most indispensable thing in the hospital is a doctor, and Jenkins is still rich.
It took a lot of work, and it was finally confirmed that Stilwell Kumbu's current symptom was a cold. But his symptoms started three weeks ago, and Jenkins went to the doctor who diagnosed him at the time. After bloodletting and herbal remedies failed, Kumbu never came to the hospital, but that record remained.
"The time is not right, so I am really nervous."
Walking out of the hospital and shaking his head slightly, Jenkins finally felt relieved. This time, he conducted the investigation in his true colors, because there was nothing worth hiding from the beginning to the end of this matter.
After Kumbu wakes up, Sergeant Black will interrogate him again, and then he can find out if he has any accomplices. Although these liars are just ordinary people, Jenkins has not forgotten the cultists who believe in the [Prince of Lies], and some of them remain in this city.
Be cautious, be cautious.
Things changed on the second day. Jenkins was sent out by his father to escort the antique bought by Baron Augustus yesterday to his manor in the outskirts of the country, and get back the final payment by the way. The antiques were packed in two big boxes by the old man, and it took a lot of effort to load them into the carriage.
The church's follow-up processing of the demon incident is still in progress. They discovered a special item with the number B-06-5-7340 and the name of the brave's gladiator. It flowed into the small town through the black market about two months ago. Wellington's hands. But in the current search, there is no trace of this item. Dad said not to go to the black market this week, because of this matter, the illegal bestowers who are worried about getting into trouble should be more cautious in the near future.
The hired coachman looked a little unhappy. He knew the weight of the box when he helped to carry it into the carriage. Because of this trip, my horse might be exhausted.
The coachman's grievances were only directed at Dad, who was still happy to chat with Jenkins. Because they knew some characters, the content of the two chatting was the newspaper news this morning, so it was logical to talk about the murder case last night.
"I heard that the situation at the time was very bloody, and the whole street was covered with blood."
The coachman said in an exaggerated tone, "The newspaper said that the victim was only injured on the flesh, so it must be false."
"Oh, is that so?"
If he and his father hadn't witnessed the murder process with their own eyes yesterday, maybe Jenkins would have believed the coachman's words. But he is not willing to explain too much, encountering a murder is not a very lucky thing.
"The newspaper didn't seem to mention the reason for the crime, but people who can commit crimes in the street are definitely not good citizens. Sir, a lot of things have happened to Nolan in the past six months. Fortunately, gentlemen from the police station I don’t think this is a serial murder case, it’s just an individual case.”
