Cooper was in a trance for a few seconds, his mind racing for a moment. Fortunately, these few seconds of hesitation allowed Cooper to control his expression for a short moment in time, and did not reveal anything suspicious.

Instead of turning around and walking directly to Zyckman's residence, Kuber nodded, but walked to the communicator in the living room. Novis didn't say anything, so Cooper picked up the receiver and began to adjust the frequency. The sound of an electronic murmur may have reached the ears of everyone in the hall. Cooper remained in an answering posture and waited for more than a minute before looking at Novis suspiciously, and hung up the communication by the way.

Several people glanced at each other, this did not need to be explained by Kuber, and they had already thought of something when they contacted Ma Duogao's situation. They almost trotted to Zickman's house, and all they saw was a very quiet house, the doors and windows were tightly closed, and nothing was visible inside.

Novis let out a sigh of relief, and the others were in a solemn mood. The door was violently broken, and the air in the room was dull, and the communicator in the living room flashed red. Several people did not rush in, and stood at the door to check the situation in the living room. Cooper tried to shout a few times, but received no response.

Checking into the living room, a few people cautiously went in and inspected room by room. Except for Zickman, everything was left intact.

"Master Novis 、、、" Lieutenant Dennis looked over with a serious face.

"I know, I'll let Master Bulson know when I get back. Novis replied, he was the deputy head of the Bureau of Land and Resources, and worked under Bulson, "Cob, you have someone stay here, and soon after, Lord Bulson should send someone to inspect it." Let's go back first. ”

In Novis's quarters, after they had finished explaining the situation to Bulson, several people sat down in the hall. Novis spoke at this time: "I asked everyone to come over today, I wanted to tell you about the situation over there. Master Clemen and the Wagner family were all here, and they went to see it last night. Early this morning, all departments in the Tusini region, as well as the defense forces, were notified to carry out a comprehensive investigation in the Tusini region, focusing on suspicious persons and outsiders. Now, even if we don't have to say anything, we're going to do it ourselves. ”

"Cooper, Lieutenant Dennis, you first gather your men and start gathering if anything happened in the Tusinny region last night. Zikman is supposed to be in the same situation as Madogao, who was disposed of by the killer after his death. And then, you have to carry the communicator with you at all times, remember to set up the signal generator, send a signal every hour, artificially. I don't think the killer will stop there, but until now, we haven't figured out what his purpose was. There could be no connection between Madogao and Zickman. ”

Novis pondered, but couldn't figure it out. Later, he explained the situation to his family, and the answer was that he should leave Tucini on the same day and stay in the city of Amoutan, and return until the affairs here were completely over. He gladly accepted such an offer, and Zikman was originally the person assigned to him by the family, first, to help deal with troubles, and secondly, to play the same role as Cooper, and to protect him for a certain time. Zickman's surgery is the same as Novis's, both are mid-stage two, but Zickman has more experience. It's just that Zikman is still dead.

A few hours later, Novis sorted things out and told Cooper everything that needed to be dealt with. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Novis waited for a communication from Bulson: "I have informed the other two, you should come to Amoutan City first. I'll have a few of my men over here and work with Clement's men to deal with this. "In short, Novis likes to hear that.

After the communication ended, Novis explained something again and immediately set off. Lieutenant Dennis and the chief of the Defence Force left in the morning, leaving Cooper alone to watch Novis drive onto the road in a limousine, and then disappear into the silhouette of the building.

Not knowing what it was like, Cooper walked around the hall a few times and then went to Zickman's quarters. Still nothing, no signs of fighting. Reflecting on the events of that night, Cooper immediately took it for granted. Against Zikman up, there is an eighty or ninety percent chance of winning the final victory, and in the face of the dark shadow, in his heart, there is a chance, but not a victory, but a chance to escape after considering various circumstances.

About one or two percent, that's what Cooper predicted for himself.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Bulsen's men came, three men in all. With Kub, the four of them went back and forth to Zickman's residence and searched and searched several times, but finally did not come to any conclusion. They don't even know what caused Zickman's death. Just as they were about to leave, Campson and Thea drove over.

The six of them repeated what they had done for two or three hours, but this time Campson and Thea found no trace.

"We can only wait for the results of the investigation, and there is an analysis after the summary of other intelligence. Theya and Bulson's men said to Coop as they left. And when leaving, Kanlson and Theya also revealed other news, Wagner left Tusinj at noon today, leaving only the rest of his family. After receiving the news, Beverly and the others also left. They really can't help anything here, originally these people would have served here, and their own strength and ability are secondary. Tusini's situation is destined for the people who come here to sit on the power and then enjoy it. As long as they don't cause big trouble themselves.

Cooper stayed at his villa in Novis until eight o'clock and left on time. Coming into the alley, Cooper pulled out a cigarette and lit one. It's been a long time since I've smoked this stuff, except for a few when I'm upset. He was pondering whether to accept the Shadow's offer. The situation is indeed similar to what the black shadow said, except that Ma Duogao is unexpected.

"Ma Dugao should be another person that the dark shadow is preparing to woo, but something else happened halfway through, which led to his death. Cooper thought as he kept smoking a cigarette and leaning against a wall, waiting for the shadow to come.

I don't know when, Cooper found that there was still half a pack of cigarettes left, and was about to get another one, when the sharp and hoarse voice of the black shadow came from behind him: "Mr. Coob, you should have been waiting here for a long time." ”

There was no longer the last panic, but Cooper couldn't help but shake his body. He turned around, still the same as last time, a dark shadow hidden in the darkness, unable to see anything clearly. Kubo nodded, "Mr. Shadow, I want to know how Butler Seeman is doing. ”

"If you want to meet him, you can do it now. Kasia replied.

"Now?" Coop asked rhetorically, immediately remembering something, glancing at the nearby underground sewer lid, "here?"

"Yes, but it's been almost a day, and you probably won't recognize it due to the proliferation of microorganisms. "Well, Mr. Kub, I don't know how you think about it?" and I don't want to repeat some of the things I don't want to repeat, but seeing that you haven't revealed anything, I can tell you here that the lord has little patience with Tusiny's side, and he wants it to end as soon as possible." After all, his identity and status, let him spend his mind on this, is the nightmare of receiving an order to come and take charge of everyone here. ”

"May I ask what happened to Mattohau?" Cooper asked.

"Is Ma so high? Dead, the body is buried, and there is probably only a pile of bones left. "The wrong choice was made, so we had to do it." ”

"In other words, if I don't agree to be here today, I will turn into a corpse and go into the sewer?"

"Mr. Coob, I would like to say that this is not a threat, but that I can have a better platform, a better treatment, and a better development in the future. With Nowvis, you can't get any better terms than here. As with the information on the surgical development project, can Novis provide it for you? No. Can you provide all the costs of your wife's treatment and help you find a physician who is willing to accept the treatment? No. He can get three or four hundred million holy coins in Tucini every year, while your wife's expenses are only about three hundred million holy coins. If he really fancied you, I think he would have paid for you a long time ago. Even if you don't provide monetary convenience, the doctor, does he really bother to find it for you?"

"No! Mr. Coopb. "But here, my lord, I can assure you of that. There are many reasons why he dares to do something to people like Clemen and Acheson. One is in terms of official position, this adult is not afraid of them, and the other is in strength. What do you think of my strength?"

"Very strong. Cooper let out a sigh.

"Thanks for the compliment. Kasia returned the salute with a smile, "People like us are willing to follow this lord because he is very good to us. At the stage of your surgery, it stands to reason that you should have started the development of surgery a long time ago. If my guess is correct, you're probably still figuring it out on your own. I can't guarantee some valuable information, but as is common, it will be available to you as soon as the Tusini affair is over. ”

As he spoke, Kubo saw a black shadow stretch out a hand, exposed to the faint light. Something squirmed under the healthy skin, and the arm swelled to nearly double in size, tearing the entire garment.

"It's the easiest one, and I think you can do it very quickly once you get the information. Kasia withdrew her hand and said, "So, can you tell me your answer?"

"Dear Mr. Shadow, I have one last question. Kubo blurted out, and seeing that the black shadow didn't speak, Kubo immediately answered, "I don't know if that adult can fulfill the conditions in advance." Although I know it's delusional, my wife 、、、 there"

"Mr. Kuber, how long do you think it will take for the matter on Tucinny's side to end?" Cassia stepped back at the right time, "at the latest half a year, if soon, that is, you will cooperate with our operation and provide the necessary information, two months." As long as it is over, the conditions I have said will be fulfilled in full. ”

Kubo tried to speak, but saw that the shadow had disappeared. The next moment, a ball of paper flew over, and Cooper grabbed it. It was written a string of communication frequencies and the next information he needed to provide immediately.

Staying where he was for a few minutes, Cooper let out a breath and didn't go to the underground sewers to see Zickman's body. He returned to his lodgings, sat for half an hour, and began to prepare what the dark shadow needed as requested.

Cassia returns to the villa base, lamenting that the plan has finally taken a step forward. He had already learned from Dya that Novis had left Tucinny, and the factory had all the machines in place, and after the subsequent preparations were completed, commissioning could begin. In order not to arouse suspicion, Kasia also told Dya that he would also leave Tusini in two days and go to the city of Amoutan. One is to get rid of the relationship between these things and themselves, and delay the time for them to suspect themselves. Second, he had to go to Amoutan City once to investigate the matter about Clement, but the time was a little earlier.

Eventually, there will be a conversation with Clemen, and if it goes well, it will not take much effort to achieve the goal of Tusinny. But if there is a deviation in the process, there may be more follow-up things. Cassia is now focusing on preparing for these aspects. And Kelson and Thea's investigation, Kasia is not worried at all. If it was so easy to investigate, wouldn't it be a waste of my two years in the military school.

There will be no definite results, and when Campson and Thea leave, and Novis and the others return, it will be about the rules for collecting benefits on the merchants of the dark world, and the handling of those three railway lines.

The next morning, Cooper sent the message to the area around Manoma, where it was transited to Cassia.

"Let people make sure of that, and they'll be able to use it in a short time. Kasia said to Delya, "After a period of calm, there will be no easy time here." ”

"But that's when we can help. Dyar looked at the information and said, "Captain Hesley has returned to Waters, and he said he could let him come back to help you if needed." Although it won't be long. ”

"No, if there is a need for this, I will definitely bring it up. ”

In the afternoon of the next day, Kasia, together with Hilesa and Liwit, went to the city of Amoutan, and the news was deliberately released by Delya.

On the night of his arrival in Amoutan, Kasia went to the intelligence merchant of the Dark World to buy the latest news. He remembered that the ceremony for the knightly titles of knightly squires and the knights of the twelve round tables had not long been there. In addition, he is also very concerned about whether there are new bills coming out of the empire recently. With this information, he can adjust his pace and next plan in time so that he does not fall behind.
