Start with the Readers Chapter 97: Investigate

It turned out to be like this... Sure enough, sealed items have strong side effects. Unless you can use Origin Castle to intimidate like Klein, you can't easily find loopholes in their use.

Looking at Xio's pale face, Abner said concernedly: "How do you feel? I know a pharmacist. If you feel uncomfortable, maybe you can ask him to make a prescription."

Xio waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I will recover soon."

"It really doesn't matter?" Abner was still a little uneasy, and quietly turned on her spiritual vision, looked at her etheric body, and found that her color representing health was very normal, but she was a little tired, so she was relieved Come.

"It really doesn't matter." Xio repeated it affirmatively, and then deliberately changed the subject, talking about the fact that she was stopped by MI9 before, and finally said:

"That person should be my father's former subordinate that Detective Stanton said. I can feel that he has good intentions for me."

"He invited you to join MI9 as an agent? Did you agree?" Abner asked curiously.

"I haven't agreed yet... I want to hear your opinion. Well, I also asked Forsi, and the suggestion she gave me was also to ask you." Xio looked at Abner with a look in his eyes A little expectation.

Abner knew what she was expecting, and the girl wanted to deduce from the attitude he displayed whether joining MI9 would help her father's case.

"You can join. Being an MI9 agent not only provides you with the opportunity to find out the truth, but also the key to improving your strength. After all, the role of the 'arbitrator' channel often requires the cooperation of officials." Abner After a little thought, he gave an affirmative answer.

"Okay, then I'll give that 'golden mask' an answer when I get back today." Xio nodded, her tone was also a little excited, she felt that she was one step closer to redressing her father's grievances.

Seeing her happy, Abner was also somewhat infected, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth. Then, he also mentioned to Xio what he wanted to investigate, and asked her to help collect some relevant information about the "Vinson Labor and Service Company".

When Xio heard the name of this company, he pondered for a moment and said, "What a coincidence... I just received an entrustment from a worker's family in the East District yesterday, and their eldest son disappeared mysteriously while working for that company." Yes, whereabouts are still unknown..."

"What is the background of this company? Has the client provided any specific information?" Abner frowned, raising the level of danger of this company to a higher level in his mind.

"I don't know yet, this entrustment was handed over to me from a middleman. I plan to go to the client's house in person later." Xio shook his head and explained.

"Then I will go with you too and join your first case as a 'sheriff', okay?" Abner asked with a smile after thinking for a while.

"It's a great honor." Xiu raised his eyebrows and gave a straightforward answer.

……

On the steam train bound for Backlund, a beautiful girl in a blue dress who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old returned to her seat with three cups of iced sweet tea bought from the conductor.

She casually distributed the extra iced sweet tea to the two companions, then pulled her long brown hair back, and said with some complaints: "Who says it's cooler in the north? This **** weather is like Vivia It's still hot."

After hearing this, a man with black hair and red eyes, handsome but lacking in masculinity, chuckled lightly and said, "Judy, you need to know that the climate in coastal cities is different from that in inland areas. And they feel completely different when they are hot."

"Karen, I really envy your physique, so you won't be afraid of the summer heat." The girl named Judy took a sip of iced sweet tea and smiled again, "However, you can take a sip in this scorching heat. Drinking ice is also a rare and wonderful experience."

At this time, a burly man in his thirties, over two meters tall, and wearing a green robe sitting next to Karen opened his eyes. He glanced at the man and woman who had just spoken, and reminded : "In public places, be careful what you say. And this is Ruen, try to be vigilant."

Judy and Karen looked at each other, nodded obediently, and replied in a low voice: "Yes, captain."

Only then did the tall captain show a smile, and took a sip of the iced tea bought by his team members, and then asked, "How long will we have to arrive in Backlund?"

"The train has passed through East Tucker, and it is expected to arrive at six o'clock in the evening." Judy glanced at the timetable posted on the train door and replied.

"Then let's get some sleep first, get enough energy, maybe we can find that person tonight..." The captain said vaguely, but he believed that his two team members could understand what he meant.

Judy drank the cold drink in two or three sips, then imitated the captain's behavior and closed her eyes to rest. Only the man named Karen was left staring and guarding boredly. After all, for him, night is the time when he has the most energy, and there is no need to accumulate energy during the day.

……

In the afternoon, Abner followed Hugh to a bar called "Machine and Fire" at the junction of the East District and the factory district.

They didn't come here to meet the client, but to find a middleman named Williams first.

Since it was not the closing time for most factories and docks, there were not many people in the bar. Xio saw the person she was looking for at a glance—a young man who was drunk.

Abner also followed the trend and found that the man was in his twenties, with a thin and long face like a horse, with messy and fierce eyebrows, but relatively soft features.

Xio walked up to that person, knocked **** the table in front of him, frowned and said:

"Williams, can't you quit drinking? Save money, marry a nice girl, come home every day with hot water, dishes and warm greetings, can you share with her all the things you see things, she tells you the trivial things that happened at home, and there are cute children kissing your cheeks and playing around you, isn’t this kind of warmth good?”

When she first arrived in Backlund, she was able to quickly gain a foothold in the Eastern Borough thanks to Williams' help, so she always hoped that he would live a better life.

"Warm?" Williams was taken aback for a moment, and then sneered when he saw that it was Xio, "It was based on the money I brought back. Going home for 20 soli, then I am sure my family is warm, as you describe, but if not, Lord, the screaming and insulting of the woman, the crying and screaming of the child will drive me crazy! "

"My mother is a role model. Every time my old man comes home, he will be beaten, scolded and noisy. In this case, I might as well exchange the soli and pennies on my body for wine. No one cares how much I earn here. Everyone is drinking and chatting, the atmosphere is very, very good, if you want a woman, there are those cute street girls outside, they won't make noise with you~IndoMTL.com~ Xio twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "You are really a no-nonsense woman." Salvation storm lord believer, you are going to die someday from alcohol and some strange disease. "

"At least I have enjoyed it." Williams replied indifferently, and then looked at Abner who was beside Xio again, and asked doubtfully, "What is this person's name?"

"Abner, a detective." Abner nodded to him, and continued, "We are here to ask you to lead the way to meet the client."

"Abner? Oh, it's that kid who often has breakfast with Hugh, I've heard about it." Williams was taken aback when he heard this, and then smiled jokingly, saying, "A detective, an arbitrator Or, this job is very suitable for you!"

"Don't waste time, Williams." Xio said as he took out a 5 soli banknote and handed it to the other party, saying, "This is your introduction fee, and it's also the money for the wine."

"Hugh, are you so generous? Generally speaking, isn't the client paying for the referral fee?" Williams was a little surprised, but he didn't think too much about it. He took out a pen and paper from his pocket, and quickly wrote a Passed the address to Xio, and said, "This is the address of Kelly's house. Both she and her husband work night shifts, and they usually don't start work until after eight o'clock in the evening. It's a good time for you to go now."

Abner looked at his pocket watch, it was already past three o'clock, so he didn't continue to delay at Williams' place, and hurried to the address on the note after going out.

All stagecoaches are afraid to enter the East End for fear of being robbed.

When the two of them followed the address on the note to find the shabby apartment where Kelly's family was renting, they found that a fight seemed to have just happened here.

The baskets rolling all over the floor, the pieces of broken clothes, and the fresh blood on the wall all indicate that a group of uninvited guests have broken into here.
