Chapter 25 Money, when will it be settled?(1/2)
Wizard: How about adding some demon hunting in the Steam Age? Chapter 25: When will the money be paid? ( ) “…”
Wei En pointed to his uniform and said in a low voice: "Sister Lacey, I just came to investigate the first department, and it hasn't been more than half a day."
"...If you hadn't told me, I would have thought that you have been in the Investigation Department for a long time. Have you really never done anything similar to the Secret Investigation Department before?"
"No, I have read a few detective mystery novels."
Marco raised his eyebrows and said: "The Devil Hunter Conan Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes Series"?"
"Hey, have you seen it too?"
"A loyal fan, I have one signed by Conan Doyle..."
boom!
Lacey smacked him, "Marco, it's work time!"
Marco squatted on the ground covering his head, his face grim in pain.
If he couldn't beat her now, he would have to stand up and "resist".
"Wayne, is there no other better way?"
Wei En thought for a moment and said, "It's not like there's nothing we can do."
Lacey's eyes lit up, "Tell me about it."
"According to what is said on the parchment, the price of using 'it' is the souls and blood of 3,000 people, and now there are only more than 300 people missing in the slums..."
No matter what the person's purpose is, the cost of using forbidden objects 0-34 to revive the coffin is necessary.
As long as you stick to the source, you will definitely find something.
According to his speculation, those people who disappeared in the slums are probably still alive.
Lacey reacted, "Explain, there are still people missing?"
The appearance of a new taboo object shocked her so much that she even ignored such an obvious reminder.
"Well," Wayne nodded, "If this condition is true, I believe that person will continue."
"He still dares to continue. He really doesn't take our Secret Investigation Department seriously?" Marco said in surprise: "Isn't he afraid of the sanctions of my heroic investigator?"
"You, heroic investigator?"
Lacey glanced at him and said, "Then can you be given full responsibility for this case? As a heroic investigator like you, I will give you two days to conclude the case, okay?"
"No, I was just joking..." Marco laughed dryly.
"snort,"
Lacey rolled his eyes, then looked at the parchment and said, "Then I'll report to Yegor first and see if he has any better ideas."
Reporting according to what Wei En said is indeed much more reasonable than when she went straight to Yegor and said "the case is solved".
At least this case now has an investigation direction.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Wei En quickly raised his hand and said, "I have it."
"Have you come up with any good ideas?" Lacey looked at him expectantly.
"Oh no,"
Wei En rubbed his hands and said with a shy smile: "Sister Lacey, when will the translation expenses be settled?"
Lacey: "..."
Marco: "..."
The office instantly became quiet.
The white-haired girl looked at her confusedly, "Tina wants the funds."
Lacey looked at him for a while, then sighed and said, "Wayne, next time something like this happens, you can just talk about it directly."
Then she took out a wallet from her pocket, counted out three 1-gold-pound banknotes, and put one of them into Tina's hand, "This is for Tina, as a reward for your use of 'Spirit Vision'"
."
"Wayne, here's your...2 gold pounds!"
Um?
Why did you emphasize the accent?
It means that this money is a hard-earned financial reward, so you should spend it sparingly, right?
It is necessary, this money must be spent on the back of the knife!
Wei En quickly took the money and said with a bright smile: "Thank you, Sister Lacey. Don't forget me next time something good like this happens. I still have some experience in the Gonzalez language."
It’s not easy to make money. Not only do you have to translate the content, but you also have to work hard to find the direction of the case...
Lacey smiled stiffly and squeezed out a sentence between his teeth: "I will inevitably trouble you in the future."
God knows, she almost broke her teeth.
Good guy... you've made money, and you don't even mention paying it back, right?
Why,
Forget it,
They are all colleagues in the Ministry of Education, not to mention the rare scholars who are good at Gonzalez.
Based on his ability to translate a piece of parchment in less than an hour, the entire investigation department had to surrender him.
2 gold pounds...my 2 gold pounds...
Lacey turned around and left the office with a melancholy look on his face.
Marco looked at her leaving figure and wondered: "What happened to her?"
Wei En counted the two bills several times before putting them into his pocket, and said casually: "As a woman, you feel unwell for a few days every month."
Speaking of which, after getting along with each other for half a day, he basically understood the personalities and work styles of these people.
Lacey has a straightforward personality and acts carelessly.
It can be seen from the previous files that she is better at solving crimes in a rampage style. To put it simply, she uses her hands rather than her brain.
Marco is, well, a bit simpler.
As for Tina... she is a bit mysterious and has a weird personality. She is a type he has never been exposed to before.
"Wayne, how do you know so much?"
"Don't you know?" Wei En was stunned for a moment.
Marco shook his head, "I know a little bit about other girls, but Lacey... I rarely see her like this."
Wei En said guiltily: "Maybe this case is too difficult and she is under a lot of pressure."
Don’t all women in this world have their periods?
Thinking of last night's wet dream, it's not impossible.
"Maybe,"
A smile appeared on Marco's face again, he stepped forward and put his arm around his shoulders and said: "Wayne, this is the first time I have seen a newcomer as powerful as you. Do you want to go to the city that never sleeps with you tonight?"
Wayne said honestly: "Tonight? Sister Lacey said yesterday that she would take me to experience Custer's nightlife tonight."
"She? Take you to experience nightlife?"
"What's wrong?"
Marco held his stomach and laughed: "Wayne, you, you were deceived by her. How does she know any nightlife places, haha..."
"Ah? Isn't it?"
"Of course not,"
Marco waited for a while and then said with a mysterious face: "I'm telling you, don't tell her."
Wei En nodded repeatedly, "Yeah."
"Before, Lacey wanted to experience the nightlife, but Rogert and I had to take her there."
Marco suppressed his smile and said, "So the two of us found a random place and took her to play cards all night."
"card?"
"Roland's Thirteen Cards, a very popular way of playing here in Chartland, I'll show you how to play it later."
It sounds like Texas Hold'em.
Then Wayne looked at him suspiciously, "So where did you take her?"
"Roget and I pooled together three gold pounds, rented a two-story building, and held a midnight drinking party."
"Why don't you take her to that city that never sleeps?"
"Shh!"
