Chapter 138 Ledger

In the third store on the left hand side of the black market, Santia brought out a pile of account books and placed them in front of Annick and his wife. It was obvious that Santia was in a good mood and was whistling.

"It's all here, take your time and take a look. If you don't understand, I can still call the shopkeeper below."

"Did the handover go smoothly?" Annick took the thick account book, flipped through it, and handed it to Emma next to him.

"It's okay, except that Devin was blocked." It seems that this is the reason why Santia is in a good mood.

"Type A explosives, you have copied them in the past few months." Annick said to Emma, ​​seeing that Emma was about to explode, and explained.

"I have other things to talk about. This is something you took the initiative to ask me to do. You can't expect me to do it for you."

Hearing this, Emma shut her mouth, like an eggplant beaten by frost, and continued to flip through the account book.

"Miss Santia, I have something else to do. Maybe you can help."

"You said, oh, your reward." After finishing speaking, Santia took out an envelope from the drawer. Annick took a look at it and saw a stack of ten pound notes inside.

"Thank you for your generosity. By the way, last night Moore and I suggested that we consider opening a new martial arts gym to teach Eastern martial arts." Annick put the envelope into his coat pocket.

"A martial arts school? It doesn't cost much anyway, and it can also help me get a helping hand from the family." Santia really looked at the benefits. It doesn't cost much to have an additional martial arts school, but it also has the support of an eldest brother.

It is definitely an advantage to myself.

"I think Moore will support an enlightened family leader."

"I think so. It's been a pleasure talking to you, Mr. Sheriff."

Santia handed over a glass of champagne, and the two of them looked at each other and clinked it.

"Here." Emma's face looked ugly like a widow whose husband had just been killed on the battlefield.

Annick took a closer look at the note and saw that the sales of Type A explosives were not large. After searching for a few items and those from illegal gangs, there were only five suspects left.

"Here, there are only five left."

After looking at the note handed over by Annick, Emma glanced at it. "Are you sure?"

"Naturally, the bomber made at least two bombs. Even if we don't consider the follow-up bombs, and including the losses, the purchase of less than 10 pounds can be deducted." Annick explained.

"What about these gangs? Their purchases are quite large."

Annick looked at Emma speechlessly and asked: "Miss Emma, ​​what are the core demands of these gangs?"

"A lot of evildoers?"

"Doing all kinds of evil is just a means. The core goal is to make money, of course. Gangs that have no interests to sustain have long since collapsed."

"So they won't put bombs in front of the city hall and city defense troops?"

"Unless their gang wants to put on a collective performance that's almost like hanging on the gallows."

"What do we do next?" Emma asked.

"It's not what you're going to do. I'm about to resume my job, and I have to accompany my sister to take the exam on the weekend." Annick decisively entered the trap again.

"One hundred pounds." Emma directly shouted out the price.

"I might be interested if you call me a thousand pounds." Annick drank down the champagne in his hand and was about to stand up and leave when he felt his right arm sinking.

"Let Emma go. As a well-educated girl, you can't learn Rita's helpless tricks." Annick regretted saying it.

"I asked how such confidential information was known to Rita. It turned out to be you who said it." Emma held on tighter.

"Shh, I can provide extra help. I will try my best to spare time after get off work to help you."

"no."

"How about more?"

Upon hearing this, Emma let go of her arms, "What do you mean by adding more?"

"When you encounter problems, you can bring Rita to the branch to see me. But except this Sunday, even if a bomb is placed at my house, I will still have to take time to accompany my two sisters to take the entrance exam."

Seeing that Annick couldn't squeeze out any more time, Emma pretended to be reluctant.

"So be it."

"Okay, I'm going to Tsering Ai Hospital. Would you like to come with me when you have time?"

Emma took a closer look at this unattractive policeman. He was very lively and didn't look injured at all.

"You looked like an ape last night. Why did you go to the hospital?"

Annick patted the envelope on his chest, "I occasionally want to do something good."

Renai Hospital is very familiar, it is the place where Annick lay down the previous two times. The nurses at the front desk all recognized him.

"Mr. Sheriff hasn't been here recently. We have rumors that you have taken a fancy to our nurse here and come in every three days." The nurse on duty joked.

"Me? It's just that I was very unlucky some time ago. By the way, was there a young red-haired woman with a younger sister who was hospitalized here recently?"

"I think you are talking about the two sisters Wallis and Heidi, Ward 206, children's area." "Thank you." Annick expressed his thanks and looked for the children's area.

206 must be on the second floor. Annick followed the stairs and found the second floor. As soon as he entered the children's area, there was an explosion of crying and noise.

So I don't like children, they are too annoying, Annick complained inwardly.

The door of room 206 was not closed, so Annick took a closer look. There was a bed inside, with a red little girl lying half on the bed. Next to her lay a woman with fiery red hair and tears in the corners of her eyes.

Although his face was covered, the faint whip marks on his head were still there.

Annick gently opened the door. Heidi on the bed realized that someone had entered and was about to shake Wallis up. Annick put his index finger on his mouth and made a soft gesture.

"Who are you?" Heidi, with big eyes and blue pupils as delicate as a doll, asked.

"Me? Your sister met a new friend last night." Annick smiled and sat beside Heidi's bed.

"Last night? My sister came back crying last night. Did you bully her?" Heidi clenched her fists and wanted to give the man in front of her a slap.

"It can't be considered bullying, but I'm not here to apologize to you." Annick said as he took out the envelope.

"Sorry for not bringing me marshmallows, huh, you lied to me." Heidi looked unhappy.

"Next time, I'm in a hurry, I'll bring you marshmallows and dolls next time." To deal with little girls, you have to rely on coaxing, Annick has gained experience in his previous life.

"Don't lie to me."

"Of course, Heidi, what's wrong with you?"

"The bones in my legs are necrotic. My sister said there's no need to worry. She's collected enough money in the past few days. But the nearest doctor also came to see me."

There was a high probability that he was out of money. Annick understood why Wallis was working so hard. Considering that he still had four hundred pounds, even if the 200 pounds reserved for Barbara were deducted, it wouldn't be a big problem.

"Here, your sister lent this to your uncle last night, and your uncle will return it to you today." Annick took out five ten-pound notes and put them into his pocket, then handed the envelope to Heidi.

"You lied to me, my sister doesn't have any friends at all." Heidi refused to take the envelope.

"We just met last night. How do I know your name is Heidi if I don't know her?"

"Really?" Heidi asked, blinking.
