vs 1298 Seeking
"This gold, just a casual little detail, can deduce so many things, and can also use it to deduce your purpose. The white bear touched the fluffy ears on the top of his head, and said with some amazement: "This person should not be underestimated." ”
"He has a strong ability to observe details, and this matter involves Huys, which is exactly within the scope of his concern, so it is normal to be able to think of my intentions. Ingres said, but having said that, he still has to admit that Kim's shrewdness is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
The sigh for Kim is one thing, but they still have no clue about Rolando.
"This Rolando, which King said, is not a lie. It's just that there is still too little information to go, its identity is still uncertain, and even the authenticity of the name needs to be drawn with a question mark. Angel rubbed his nose: "The only useful news is that Jin has planted eyeliner in Haiyue City, and now the baleen sea channel is still in a frozen state, so if Rolando wants to return to the Fan Continent and take the sea route, it is not yet time." In other words, he should still stay in the Old Earth Continent, but Jin doesn't know the specific location. ”
As soon as Rolando got off the boat, he left alone, and no one knew where he was going. Although the Old Earth Continent is not big in the eyes of wizards, it is actually easy to hide a person who has never even seen a face.
Angel looked at the white bear: "From the limited information that is currently known, can you predict Rolando's location?"
The white bear groaned, "If this Rolando is his real name, and I have his blood information, maybe I can give it a try." ”
After that, the white bear entered the stage of building the model.
Angels raised a protective force field to keep the falling snow out, quietly waiting for the white bear to give the result.
Half an hour later, on the gondola's table, stood a short staff that never fell. No matter how the White Bear unleashed the prophecy, the staff remained unmoved.
In the end, the white bear could only open his eyes helplessly.
Facing Angel's eyes, Bai Xiong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "My strength is still too weak to locate his location, I later changed my mind and wanted to judge whether this Rolando is his real name, but my genre is the fate of the three mainstreams, not the 'bell of asking'." Therefore, when asked whether it is true or false, I did not get a definite answer. ”
At this point, it seems that we have entered a dead end again.
"In this case, let's go to Baibei Sea to check the specific list on the Pulsatilla. Ingres pondered for a moment before making this decision.
Cloaked in the cloak of night, the stars shine brightly. They followed the direction of the sea breeze and came to the city of Sea Moon, thousands of miles away from Conya.
The only branch of Baibei Shipping on the old soil continent is near the Vichy harbor in Haiyue City.
It is said that it is a branch, but in fact, it is a bit of a stronghold, at most it is a stronghold, just an inconspicuous three-story building. Moreover, the first floor of this building is still a shop, and the second and third floors are listed as Baibei Shipping.
At first, Angel thought that he needed to show his access card, perhaps so that the staff of Baibei Shipping could recognize him. However, when they came here, they found that the person in charge here was only a first-level apprentice, and when the person in charge sensed their strength, he immediately nodded and took out the list of the nearest routes.
Its proficiency made Angel wonder if there were many people who came here to check the route before?
It took a few minutes to review the roster.
Angel turned his head to look at the crowd, shook his head, and said, "Sure enough, Kim is right, there is no record of him on the Pulsatilla." ”
Sanders pondered: "It should be the same as Huyce, through a special channel to get on the ship." There is no record of the people who got on the ship through this channel. ”
Ingres looked through the roster again, and it was true that Huyce's name was not recorded on it.
It's the transcendent people that Jin mentioned before, including himself, as well as Fei Ling, Henry, etc., and many of these people have been recorded.
"Will he be hiding in ordinary people?" asked the white bear.
There were nearly a hundred ordinary people on the Pulsatilla, and some of them were gifted, and Ingres did not find Rolandor in it.
Either Rolando's name to Kim at the time was a pseudonym, or he really didn't register.
"Anyway, let's check these ordinary people first. Angels quickly compiled a list and asked the person in charge of Baibei Shipping, the address of these people.
If it is an extraordinary person, he may hesitate, but it is just a few ordinary employees, and the person in charge does not hesitate to report their information.
Speaking of which, among these ordinary people, more than half of them left with the Pulsatilla at that time, and the rest were basically still in Seamoon City, waiting for the next voyage.
The matter of the visit was handed over to the white bear. Moreover, Angel took out a few probing puppets for him, which can greatly improve efficiency.
Angel and Sanders stayed in the gondola.
"This Rolando is hiding too deeply, and I don't know if the white bear's visit will work. "Ingres didn't want to find Rolando right away, as long as he could show a hint of his feet.
"Since the other party wants to deliberately conceal his existence, it is estimated that this kind of superficial information will not be able to find him. Sanders replied casually.
Angel can probably understand, but there is no other effective way at present, so he can only check these surface information step by step.
After about three or four hours, the morning star shone brightly, and when the sky was white, the white bear returned.
"I found thirty people and there were no problems. And the people who left Haiyue City, there are a total of seven people, I also asked about these seven, and I also found people who have worked with them for many years, and basically can rule out suspicion. Moreover, when they left, they all left a record, basically going to other cities around Sea Moon City. ”
Ingres sighed, and sure enough, as Sanders said, it was difficult to find the existence of Rolando.
"Of the seven who left, were there any who were heading in the direction of Grug, for example, to Waterford?" asked Ingres, hopeless.
White Bear recalled: "Watford...... Hey, it seems that there really is one, named Fullington. He told the others that because of the war between Goldfinch and Heilan, he was going to Watford to find a refugee in the shadow of the war, a displaced refugee with whom he was related. This news has indeed been confirmed. ”
"Sounds like a no-brainer. Angel muttered: "Anyway, there is no clue for the time being, and if you want to return to Gru Town, then stop by Watford to have a look." ”
......
It snowed heavily in Watford, and the masonry was soon white.
With such low temperatures, there is a lot less population moving on the streets. Even those who really had to go out wore thick clothes and felt hats, and hurried past with white mist in their mouths.
At this moment, two people stepped out of the town hall, one of them dressed in a strange white bear doll costume, and the other dressed as a regular nobleman.
The aristocratic young man walking in front has an outstanding appearance that makes people shine on the streets in this cold winter. It's a pity that passers-by who are in a hurry are still too busy to take care of the low temperature invasion, and they can't care about appreciating others.
Instead, under a building near the town hall, a man leaning against the wall smoking a cigarette gun noticed the aristocratic youth.
In the smoke, the man's expression seemed to be thinking about something, and seeing that the noble young man was about to go away, he seemed to have made up his mind and walked towards the noble young man.
"Venerable noble young master, you look a little troubled. The man took off his black felt hat and saluted.
The aristocratic youth is none other than Ingres.
He glanced at the man, who was wearing a vest, trousers and leather shoes, and a coffee-colored trench coat, which was a decent gentleman's dress, but his trench coat was a little wrinkled, his bow tie was white, his dark circles were serious, his stubble was not shaved, there were gray stains between his fingernails, and his body exuded a smell mixed with tobacco and sweat acid.
When the man saw Angel looking at him, a trace of embarrassment drifted over his handsome face.
"Let me introduce you, my name is Richard Kraft, and I'm a private investigator, because I've been trying to solve a big case the other day, you know, the one that has caused a stir in Watford lately! ”
When Ingres recalls that when he was at City Hall, he seemed to have seen a front-page headline in a corner newspaper.
"You mean, the Blood Cross Gold Theft?"
Richard was stunned: "You know?"
The white bear beside Angel sneered: "I saw that today's newspaper clearly says that it is a case solved by the Knights. With all due respect, Mr. Kraft, you don't have any knightly traits in you. ”
"Didn't you look at the two of us and think that we were the ones we could deceive, so you lied to deceive us?"
Richard smiled dryly, with an embarrassment of being seen through.
"I'm just not famous, the Knights need detectives......"
The white bear didn't bother to pay attention to him, it wasn't worth wasting time on this kind of person, so he was ready to turn around and leave.
However, Ingres did not move, but looked at Richard: "Mr. Kraft, it seems that you are very accurate in recognizing people, and we did come to Watford, so you think we are new faces, right?"
Richard hurriedly waved his hand: "No, I'm really a private detective." It's just ......"
Richard's voice slowly lowered: "It's just that I haven't received the commission for a long time, I saw that the two of you just came out of the city hall, and I thought there was any difficulty, so I wanted to come over and ask if there was anything I needed help." ”
Richard also indirectly admitted that he was indeed lying when he said that he was involved in the gold theft case. After he finished speaking, he bowed to Ingres: "Offended, I'll leave now." ”
When Richard turned around, Angel suddenly shouted, "Wait, since you recognize people accurately, I don't know if you are willing to accept the commission of the searcher." ”
