Chapter 18 New Kingdom Merchants
"I'm working in the institute. Shouldn't I look at my progress? Why do I ask me to pursue criminals..." My heart was full of complaints, complaining that Kim Bradley actually arranged for himself to chase a midnight corpse-breaking demon named Barry, which made him not have more time to study alchemy, a glimmer flashed in his eyes: "Why should I take this opportunity to leave Central City?"
The idea of leaving the Central City emerged in my heart, but after looking at the tall and stubborn Alex Louis Armstrong beside me and Mas Seozi, who had a hint of smile on his lips, Yi Dao Ren sighed: "Master Seozi, Master Armstrong, do you have any information about the criminal named Barry?"
Shaking his head, Mass Seuz said: "He hid very well. The incidents so far have happened late at night. The information obtained from the intelligence department's investigation only shows that he is the owner of a butcher shop, and the first person to kill was his wife... Such a guy deserves to go to hell!"
As a loving wife, Mass Seuz, after learning about Barry's actions, he naturally hated Barry to the extreme.
After curling his lips, Yi Daoren said lightly: "What should we do? So far, several ladies have been killed late at night. If this continues, everyone in the Central City will be in danger and their trust in the army will be reduced. In the near future, Fordset will start war."
"That is why President Bradley will arrange for you and Major Armstrong to help me catch Barry together!"
"I don't know where he was catching it... The people he killed were all women, and they were beautiful women. It seems that he has a lot of resentment towards beautiful women. Why don't you find a beautiful woman to wander around the alley at night, and then we will stalk the cicada and the oriole behind?"
Alex Louis Armstrong nodded, touched his chin and smiled, "This is a good idea, but it is really not a good man to take risks... Prayer Easy, what are you thin... for?"
"Don't give me any bad ideas!" He glared at Alex Louis Armstrong coldly. The hand that Yi Daoist pounded Alex Louis Armstrong's chest but was stopped was retracted, and said lightly: "Is anyone in the army willing to help?"
"Well..." After Mas Seuz made a thoughtful expression, he suddenly smiled as if he had thought of something: "By the way, Lieutenant Hawke'ai and Mastan Zhongzo will come to Central City in the next two days. Why don't Lieutenant Hawke'ai help me? Although the Prayer Yi is thin, he looks just like that, so he should not seduce Barry."
"Mastan and the others?" Yi Daoren frowned slightly, and he felt troublesome in his heart, but he said lightly: "Master Xiuzi, your words are very unpleasant! And didn't I say don't call me a prayer?"
"Don't care, these are just trivial matters...right, Major Armstrong."
"That's right! Prayer Yi, how good is this title!" Unlike Taoist Yi who secretly called trouble, Alex Louis Armstrong said with a smile on his face: "Will Mastan Zhongzhao come? It would be great if they were willing to help! With these two helps, I believe there will be no problem in catching a small corpse-breaking maniac!"
"Tsk!" After smacking his lips, Yi Daoren turned his head unhappily, but suddenly he saw a gray-haired old man wearing a completely different costume from the Armestres country's clothing and was staring at him. However, when he looked over, the old man turned around and left, making Yi Daoren frown.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Taoist Yi frowned, Mass Xiuz thought Taoist Yi had discovered something, so he immediately followed Taoist Yi's gaze, then narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Are you really not a new Chinese? The prayer Yi."
"No, what's wrong?"
"That person should be a businessman from Xinguo, you can see it by looking at his clothes." After observing Yi Dao Ren's expression, seeing that Yi Dao Ren's face showed a look of insignificance of surprise, Mass Seuz smiled and said, "Look at you looking at him, I thought you knew him."
"Are you a person from Xinguo..." Yi Daoren's brows relaxed, and after thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Then I want to get to know each other. If you have the opportunity to go to Xinguo in the future, you can have someone to stay there."
After saying this, Mass Seuz's eyes suddenly became sharp and his brows frowned slightly. However, after looking at Yi Daoist for a while, he smiled and said, "Then let's get to know each other now. We still have to work tonight."
Taoist Yi looked at Mas Huozi with some surprise, and then smiled and said, "See you at night, Grand Master Huozi and Grand Master Armstrong."
“See you tonight”
“See you tonight”
Taoist Yi respected a military salute according to the etiquette, and then walked towards the direction where the old man from the new country had left.
After watching Yi Dao Ren leave, Alex Louis Armstrong suddenly whispered: "Why let him contact the new Chinese?"
"We can't stop him from meeting the new Chinese. Instead of letting him get angry with us to join the Central Military Department, it's better to let him leave the front line!" Pushing his glasses on his nose with his hand, Mass Seuz smiled and said, "And, Roy and the others have arrived in Central City!"
"Uh... you really know how to fool people."
According to the information I got from inquiry on the road, after turning left and right, Yi Daoren came to the entrance of an alley and frowned.
He came to pursue the old businessman of the new country and planned to establish a good relationship with the old businessman of the new country. If he escapes from the country of Armestres in the future, he will have a place to join him.
But the situation in front of him made him know that the old businessman in the new country he was planning to deal with seemed not an easy target!
"Is there anything you have to do with me? Mr. Captain of the Kingdom of Armestris."
An old but full of energy came from behind, causing Yi Daoren to froze. When he turned around, he saw the old businessman in the new country who was close to him, he suddenly had goose bumps all over his body.
After Yi Dao Ren learned to perceive the dragon vein, his perception became more and more acute. Not to mention that the old businessman in the new country touched his behind him in the unmanned alley, which could instantly take his life. Even in the crowd, he would have some perception of the people behind him!
But this old businessman from the new country quietly touched his back... Dangerous! Very dangerous!
With this understanding in his heart, Dao Ren was a little hesitant whether to establish a relationship with this old businessman in the new country.
If you accidentally leave the wolf's den and enter the tiger's mouth, that's not a funny way to describe it. Taoist Yi doesn't want to become that kind of miserable existence.
"Mr. Captain?" Seeing that Dao Ren Yi did not answer his question, the old businessman in the new country raised his eyebrows and asked again, but his tone was a little unhappy.
"Sorry, I'm rude." After coming to my senses, Dao Ren Yi apologized first, and then smiled: "My name is Dao Ren Yi. Due to the name, it has always been considered related to the Xinguo, but I have never met the Xinguo people. Now when I see the old man, I want to get to know him."
The old businessmen in the new country would know that they were captains. Yi Daoren was not surprised. He was wearing a white coat of researcher in the Third Research Institute, but a blue Armestellis suit, and there was also a captain's epaulette representing his identity on his shoulders.
"Dao Ren Yi?" The old businessman in Xinguo was stunned. After looking at Dao Ren Yi in surprise, he nodded slightly and said, "My surname is Hu, just call me Lao Hu."
After introducing himself, Lao Hu looked at Dao Ren Yi again, then frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Have Captain Yi really never met a new Chinese? Then how could you practice alchemy?"
"Uh... can you tell that I can practice alchemy?" Yi Daoren looked at Lao Hu in surprise.
"It seems that you are not a new Chinese..." Shaking your head, Old Hu smiled and said, "Your qi and the qi of nature live in harmony, and are inseparable. This is a unique phenomenon for alchemists. Although the alchemists in the country of Yamesteris can also sense the qi of nature, they cannot live in harmony with it."
"So that's it... Thank you for your advice! Lao Hu is so clear about the alchemist, is it because he is also an alchemist?"
Shaking his head, Old Hu smiled and said, "I am not an alchemist, but just a warrior who knows how to fight and kick."
"Martial man? Does it refer to a fighter?" Yi Daoren looked at Lao Hu with a look of surprise.
Although Lao Hu spoke with a strong voice, he was not tall, only reaching Yi Daoren's chin. Yi Daoren's height was 1.8 meters tall. In other words, Lao Hu's height was about 1.6 meters tall, and he looked thin, so Yi Daoren didn't believe that Lao Hu was a fighter.
But when I remembered that Lao Hu could silently circumn behind him without being noticed by him, Taoist Yi believed it a little.
However, compared to the fighter, Daoren Yi felt that Lao Hu was more like a killer... Of course, he would not say this judgment without any brainstorming: "Then Lao Hu, you must be a powerful fighter!"
"It's not that powerful, it's just that it can deal with ordinary thieves." He smiled casually, and Lao Hu suddenly took out a pocket watch and looked at the time, frowned and said, "It's already this time... Sorry, Captain Yi, I still have something to do, I can't chat with you. This way, if you have something to come to me, go to the Hilton Hotel to find me. Before October, I have been staying at the Hilton Hotel."
"I should be sorry, I've disturbed you for so long."
After waved his hand, Lao Hu turned around and left, but after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned around and said lightly: "Is Captain Yi from Yamesteris?"
"Why do you ask this?" Dao Ren Yi frowned slightly.
"It's nothing, it's just that your habits are different from those of the people in the country of Armestres... Of course, this may also be because I'm not very familiar with the country of Armestres. I've only been in this country for a month, and I hope Captain Yi can take care of him in the future."
After saying that, Lao Hu turned around and left without waiting for Taoist Yi to answer.
"What a careful person... Lao Hu... is he really a businessman?" Seeing Lao Hu's thin figure gradually fading away, Yi Daoren stood there and thought for a moment, then turned around and walked in another direction. There was the direction he was going home.
Although it is only three o'clock in the afternoon, since Barry comes out to commit crimes at night, the working hours of Yi Daoren, who wants to arrest Barry, have also been adjusted to the evening. Now he should take a break during this period of time to save him from dozing off while working at night.
However, when he returned to the door of his house, Dao Ren Yi suddenly saw a familiar person in front of his house, holding a letter and stuffing it into his mailbox.
"Mr. Tucker? Is there anything wrong?" After thinking about it, Daoren Yi suddenly remembered that the person was one he interviewed last year and the only alchemist who wanted to work in the Third Institute.
But at that time, Shaw Tucker had no research results at all, and just submitted some theoretical things, but he refused.
Shocked by the voice of Yi Dao Ren, Xiao Tucker immediately turned around and when he saw Yi Dao Ren, he was stunned: "Researcher Yi? Uh... I have nothing to do, why did you come back so early? Uh... Are you still a captain?"
Isn’t Yi Daoren a researcher at the Third Research Institute? Why has he become a captain in the army again?
Looking at Yi Daoren wearing military uniforms, Xiao Tucker felt a little confused for a moment.
"I was originally a captain, but I just worked in the Third Institute. Now the president has orders and can only come out to work..." After a smile, Dao Ren Yi reached out to his house and said, "Come in and have a cup of coffee."
"No, thank you, Researcher Yi... Captain." He waved his hand quickly, and Shaw Tucker smiled embarrassedly: "I'm here to show you some of my research reports. Haven't you told me about the concept of genes before? I seem to have found something."
When he heard Shaw Tucker say that he had really developed some genetic achievements, Dao Ren Yi was stunned at first, and then said in surprise: "Don't you even come in and talk?"
According to Yi Daoren's impression, the genes store all information about the race, blood type, pregnancy, growth, apoptosis and other processes of life. If Xiao Tucker really studies something, it will definitely be a major event that shocked the entire alchemy world of the Yamesteris country!
Shaking his head, Shaw Tucker smiled bitterly, "No need, you can take a look at my research report first. My wife has just given birth to a child, and I still need to go back and watch... Otherwise, I don't know what she will scold me."
"Is this... so anxious?" Looking at Xiao Tucker who smiled bitterly, Taoist Yi nodded. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Then like this, tell me your address. When I have time, I will go to your place and talk about genetic issues with you."
"Really?" As his eyes lit up, Shaw Tucker smiled and said, "I live in..."
After watching Xiao Tucker leave with a smile on his face, Dao Ren Yi looked at the thick stack of research reports in his hand and smiled: "I didn't expect that someone has really developed something that he said casually... Let me see if you will surprise me."
While flipping around, Dao Ren Yi opened the door and walked into the house.
However, Daoren Yi did not notice that in the shadow of one of his house, two people were watching him enter the room. One of them was the old Hu who he had talked to before!
"Old Hu, is that guy following you?"
"That's right. Please help me investigate his origin!"
"yes!"
